Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: Rebecca fergus trend man Hunt. You know what it is,
Speaker 1: We've got theory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might not know what it is.
Speaker 1: Actually. Rebecca Ferguson is an.
Speaker 2: Actor, uh.
Speaker 1: And she told a story from behind the scenes of
Speaker 1: one of her films about the a person that was
Speaker 1: number one on a call sheet. I think the wording
Speaker 1: is interesting there. We will analyze the wording. Who just
Speaker 1: belittled her? Berated her on set and everybody is trying
Speaker 1: to figure out who she's talking about. Who was it
Speaker 1: which first on the call sheet? A whole spoke badly
Speaker 1: to our Rebecca. We will get to that, but first
Speaker 1: we've got some political news. Jo Biden won the Michigan primary. However,
Speaker 1: the results should probably be worrying to him. So there's
Speaker 1: been activists working for a group Listen to Michigan that
Speaker 1: is not pleased with Biden's handling of Gaza for some reason,
Speaker 1: and they urged voters to vote Uncommitted to protests Biden's
Speaker 1: support of Israeli military action. They thought based on the
Speaker 1: amount of you know, money and work that they put in,
Speaker 1: they were like, man, if we could get ten thousand
Speaker 1: uncommitted votes in the primary, that would be wild. As
Speaker 1: of Wednesday morning, uncommitted had more than one hundred thousand votes,
Speaker 1: accounting for thirteen point three percent of the vote. That's
Speaker 1: like a staggering amount, more than five times the amount
Speaker 1: of Michigan's uncommitted voters when Obama ran for reelection in
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, like that, like in the actual election. Right,
Speaker 1: So it's just like anybody any of the you know,
Speaker 1: mainstream Democrats who are like, guys, you're making too big
Speaker 1: a deal out of this, Like people, this isn't actually
Speaker 1: going to matter, like this matters to people, Like this
Speaker 1: is a major fucking problem for you guys and for
Speaker 1: all of us anybody who doesn't want Trump to be
Speaker 1: the president, Like this is a major fucking problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fucking this up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean, it was definitely a low bar,
Speaker 3: I think because they knew, right, because the average is
Speaker 3: around twenty thousand uncommitted, and they got to over one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand. But either way, when you look at the
Speaker 3: margins of like even twenty twenty or twenty.
Speaker 2: Sixteen, that's a substantial amount. He only won by about.
Speaker 3: One hundred and fifty and twenty twenty and it was
Speaker 3: even less than that in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I like again this was like used, It's interesting.
Speaker 3: There's obviously this is like a protest vote, right, so
Speaker 3: they say this is obviously Biden's going to be the nominee.
Speaker 3: But what we can show is that there is a
Speaker 3: substantial amount of people who are explicitly trying to communicate
Speaker 3: to the president and this administration that they are deeply
Speaker 3: unsettled and unhappy with what our foreign policy is.
Speaker 2: Like, now, will that change? I don't like right now?
Speaker 3: You see, there's a there's a story about how in
Speaker 3: March apparently the administration may be asking the net and
Speaker 3: Yahoo to like explicitly say like how he's going to
Speaker 3: abide by law or whatever to kind of keep the
Speaker 3: horrific deaths of innocence to a minimum or not at all.
Speaker 3: But again it doesn't what, like, you know, the thing
Speaker 3: that people are really yearning for is to say, like,
Speaker 3: if you're president of the United States, can you use
Speaker 3: your office to do the right thing, which in this
Speaker 3: case is to call for an immediate cease fire at
Speaker 3: a minimum and then figure out what to do from there.
Speaker 3: And the will is there, I mean, like if you
Speaker 3: look at the polling nationally, it's over significant over well
Speaker 3: over sixty percent of like Democrats. We're like, yeah, I've seized. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we're seizfire. Yes, we like that. That's not controversial to people.
Speaker 3: Uh in Michigan, it's like around at least over like
Speaker 3: fifty percent there.
Speaker 2: So you're not talking about a fringe issue here. And
Speaker 2: as much as they want.
Speaker 3: To act like they're like, well, we'll just keep raising
Speaker 3: the specter of a Trump presidency, it's just really dison.
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's a it's a fuck.
Speaker 3: You to people who are saying this, these are these
Speaker 3: are things that we were asking for you as a
Speaker 3: president and then just to be you know, browbeat by
Speaker 3: like the punditry class being like, well then you basically
Speaker 3: want Trump to win, right, No, you're saying if you
Speaker 3: if you're gonna earn someone's vote, this is what we're saying,
Speaker 3: this is what we're asking for. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: like the the absolute uh there there's a there's a
Speaker 3: frenzied activity from like the sort of vote blue no
Speaker 3: matter who section of people who are like, you know,
Speaker 3: like just just be happy that could be this or
Speaker 3: so it could be a Muslim band for Trump.
Speaker 2: It's like, that's not a that's not the rhetoric. Rhetorically,
Speaker 2: that's not a.
Speaker 3: Strategy that is going to get you the outcome that
Speaker 3: you want. So yeah, again, it's also young people too.
Speaker 3: It's not just the like Arab and Muslim community in Michigan.
Speaker 3: There's also students and stuff like that who are increasingly
Speaker 3: becoming impatient with the administration or saying can you do
Speaker 3: something I don't agree with, Like people who are like accelerationists,
Speaker 3: who are like, well, then maybe everything needs to fall apart, maybe.
Speaker 2: A different outcome certainly.
Speaker 3: But but again, this is but this is how this
Speaker 3: is how delicate this whole situation is. And for someone
Speaker 3: who is seeking office, rather than putting it on the
Speaker 3: voters saying, well, like, look, man, I'm in a fixed
Speaker 3: position where I'm progeniside, I don't know what they want
Speaker 3: me to do. Maybe you need to reevaluate what those
Speaker 3: positions are in order to maybe court the vote of
Speaker 3: people who are telling you right now in a soft
Speaker 3: after away, which is here's six figure. This is a
Speaker 3: six figure group you know of voters who are explicitly
Speaker 3: saying this is something that needs to be done. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. And also, the fucking ice cream
Speaker 2: thing did not go over will either man did not
Speaker 2: go over well.
Speaker 1: I thought people thought it was cool when I had
Speaker 1: ice cream, Jack.
Speaker 2: Not when you're saying stuff like that, Joe.
Speaker 1: No, Mich McConnell's stepping down. Just announced he's stepping down
Speaker 1: as a Republican Senate leader. He will still continue to
Speaker 1: serve his term, which doesn't end until twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Like in the Senate, he will still be in the Senate,
Speaker 1: he just will not be the Republican Senate leader. Aides
Speaker 1: claim that this decision is not related to health problems
Speaker 1: like the recent concussion or that time his brain straight
Speaker 1: up crashed like Windows ninety five on live TV.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on it.
Speaker 3: Is there a clear successor, it's gonna be one of
Speaker 3: the people. I mean, like if you go in the
Speaker 3: order of like the leadership positions, it's yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: it's like John Thune, John Cornyn, and John Barrasso literally
Speaker 3: three John's, so you have your I think that's you know,
Speaker 3: that's like who his leadership team is. But the vote
Speaker 3: for that position is going to be interesting because while
Speaker 3: you have these sort of like you know, the diehard
Speaker 3: McConnell type dudes, you also have increasing maga freaks too,
Speaker 3: who are.
Speaker 2: Going to be asking to do something. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know, man, that's old.
Speaker 1: Everyone's name was John, Yeah, yeah, exactly of these flashy
Speaker 1: names like Bob or Richard. All right, we have an
Speaker 1: update kind of we We talked yesterday about how Wendy's
Speaker 1: was investing twenty million dollars in digitizing all of their
Speaker 1: pricing signs in order to make it possible for them
Speaker 1: to engage in surge pricing where they could like fluidly
Speaker 1: change the price based on demand and supply. And I
Speaker 1: saw the end of just like a dim future where
Speaker 1: like the second the bars let out, suddenly baconators cost
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars, they're now claiming, ah, psych, that was
Speaker 1: a pump fake. You've heard of the baconator. How about
Speaker 1: the pump faconator?
Speaker 3: We did, no, got your ass, dude, And look I
Speaker 3: knew it.
Speaker 2: This felt like some weird ass weather balloon shit, but also.
Speaker 3: Like they really so that the thing was uttered by
Speaker 3: the CEO like a shareholder call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which I think that.
Speaker 3: Was only a good idea to only the people on
Speaker 3: that call, right, which is a minority of people. Those
Speaker 3: are not the people that you count on for your
Speaker 3: sharehold their value. But yeah, the way they said, now,
Speaker 3: it's so funny. Said quote, we said these menu this
Speaker 3: is this is an official statement from Wendy's corporate quote.
Speaker 3: We said these menu boards will give us more flexibility
Speaker 3: to change the display of featured items. This was misconstrued
Speaker 3: in some media reports as an intent to raise prices
Speaker 3: when demand is highest at our restaurants. We have no
Speaker 3: plans to do that and would not raise prices when
Speaker 3: our customers are visiting us most. But this dude literally
Speaker 3: said dynamic pricing, right, So maybe they're trying to be
Speaker 3: like that also means she could be cheaper when never know.
Speaker 2: That's we're a corporation.
Speaker 1: We might do that.
Speaker 2: You never know.
Speaker 1: We can know whatever we want. That's never once happened
Speaker 1: in the billions of examples of corporations.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no what.
Speaker 1: To charge people except for that free walk tomorrow, extra
Speaker 1: gualk on that extra day.
Speaker 2: Yeah at cho.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. Well, we'll come back and
Speaker 1: get in to Rebecca Ferguson's manhunt. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back. So, during an interview promoting Dune two, colon,
Speaker 1: I burned my dick on hot Popcorn, Butter, I think
Speaker 1: JM just wrote that. I don't think that's the actual subtitle.
Speaker 2: Well, hey, we've seen the buckets.
Speaker 1: We've seen we've seen the buckets, the most fuckable popcorn
Speaker 1: buckets in I've got to say months. Anyways, Rebecca Ferguson,
Speaker 1: who plays Dune's mother in the film, I think I
Speaker 1: don't think the lead character's name is done, but that's
Speaker 1: what we're going with, Dune's mother, mother of Doune. You
Speaker 1: mom got it going on so on some pop podcast
Speaker 1: that I don't know, but it's not ours. I can
Speaker 1: tell you that much.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So she talked about how she once had an absolute
Speaker 1: idiot of a co star who screamed at her on
Speaker 1: set and made her cry, and then she returned to
Speaker 1: work and refused to even look at them in the face.
Speaker 1: Performing our lines to the back of this person's head
Speaker 1: when her request for a tennis ball was declined sounds
Speaker 1: like truly like a fucking monster. This person was like
Speaker 1: this is what I have to act against or this
Speaker 1: is what I don't know. We don't know who it
Speaker 1: was because she was very specific, not to make it
Speaker 1: make it clear whether it was man or woman or
Speaker 1: you know, just said this human being, this person made
Speaker 1: me so scared. And because this person was number one
Speaker 1: on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me,
Speaker 1: so no one had my back that she was just.
Speaker 2: It is the top built person.
Speaker 3: I know that we were trying to say all call
Speaker 3: sheet might meant on a specific shoot day, the star
Speaker 3: might not be there. Therefore, whoever was next billing would
Speaker 3: be top of the call sheet. But when you're also
Speaker 3: describing an environment where like, what the fuck could I do?
Speaker 3: It was the fucking star of the film, right, rather
Speaker 3: than like the secondary or tertiary lead or whatever.
Speaker 1: So Rebecca Ferguson, if you're not familiar, has been in
Speaker 1: films such as The Mission Impossibles, The Greatest Showman, Doctor Sleep.
Speaker 1: So people immediately throughout Tom Cruise because we've heard him
Speaker 1: kind of Tom lose it on the cast of Mission
Speaker 1: Impossible and Hugh Jackman. I don't know why people just immediately,
Speaker 1: probably because that's the second most famous movie that she's in,
Speaker 1: but she has since said it was neither of them.
Speaker 1: But the internet has gone to work trying to figure
Speaker 1: out who this is. There's such a great move by
Speaker 1: the Rock, who she was in a film with who Hercules?
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, he tweeted, hate seeing this, but
Speaker 1: love seeing her stand up to bullshit. Rebecca was my
Speaker 1: guardian angel sent from heaven on air set. I love
Speaker 1: that woman. I'd like to find out who did this,
Speaker 1: so just like real like it wasn't me.
Speaker 2: Honestly, that makes him my prime suspect.
Speaker 1: It does, but it also like would be putting him
Speaker 1: out in front in a way that I feel like
Speaker 1: would be unwise, and he is not unwise. When it
Speaker 1: comes to pr I feel like, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Don't know, I don't know, it's genius because it would
Speaker 4: then be like, but it was you, and then it
Speaker 4: would be like it was you, it was you The Rock,
Speaker 4: Dwayne Dwayne Rock.
Speaker 1: So the top suspects include Michael Fassbender and Jake Jillenhall.
Speaker 2: The Snowman together.
Speaker 1: Yeah they did that Snowman. But Ferguson seemingly had a
Speaker 1: parent warmth towards jillen Hall and claimed that she sang
Speaker 1: and had snowball fights on set with Fastbender.
Speaker 3: So but when we're like, so those might be previous
Speaker 3: interviews or she's not gonna be like, yeah, Dode, the
Speaker 3: guy's a piece of shit, right, you know, Like are
Speaker 3: they still friends now? Like is she kicking it with?
Speaker 3: Do they exchange Christmas cards? But these people, right, so
Speaker 3: I think you can still put them.
Speaker 2: I think they're still on the table.
Speaker 1: You do occasionally hear the Gillenhall is intense behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: So that one just popped a flag for me. I
Speaker 1: was like, we're gonna we're gonna flag that one. We'll
Speaker 1: come back to it. Let me just circle back on
Speaker 1: that one. Then Hugh Grant's name came up. It did
Speaker 1: camed up. It came up named duncom up. So he
Speaker 1: appeared with Ferguson in Florence Foster Jenkins. They do not
Speaker 1: seem to be There seem to be very little warmth
Speaker 1: between miss Ferguson and mister Grant in the press photos. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so the main issue here he was not number
Speaker 1: one on that call sheet, right, I will say on
Speaker 1: a day of the shooting, he may have been a
Speaker 1: number one on a call sheet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But he seems.
Speaker 3: He seems a bit insufferable based on like the Wonka
Speaker 3: stuff too, that he was talking a bunch of shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I don't know, it's weird. I believe it
Speaker 2: could be anyone.
Speaker 3: If you heard me, I'm like, yeah, it's the Rock, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was Jake, Jolly Ross Member, it's all of.
Speaker 1: Them falls remember it's all of us. Actually that's what
Speaker 1: Actually we're going to find out. It's going to be
Speaker 1: like a poor raw mystery, where like you find out
Speaker 1: at the end that everybody did it like that. But
Speaker 1: it's I mean, so people pointed out on the one
Speaker 1: that Hugh Grant was not number one on the call sheet.
Speaker 1: Tell you who was little uh miss Meryle Street coming
Speaker 1: at her being like you suck compared to me, I'm
Speaker 1: the shit. I think that's probably only plausible because people
Speaker 1: have seen The Devilwaars Prada and she played a character
Speaker 1: like that and The Devil Wears Prada. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know the other one. People like in one article,
Speaker 1: people were like Emily Blunt was her co star in
Speaker 1: Girl on Train And there was even somebody who was
Speaker 1: like I remember that day, suggesting like, so I think
Speaker 1: that's where this goes. We need to get testimony from
Speaker 1: a person who like worked on the crew, you know,
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and is willing to violate an NDA
Speaker 1: anonymously on the internet. Is that too much to ask? Probably,
Speaker 1: But I don't know our entertainment and information.
Speaker 3: Look, if you don't buy a ticket, you can't win
Speaker 3: the lottery. So just put it out there.
Speaker 1: Just put it out there, Brian the Editor's out. Ryan
Speaker 1: Reynolds is somebody that she has worked with before.
Speaker 3: That would be great if that just completely blew up
Speaker 3: his whole fucking shit, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 3: it was just like he has such a nice guy
Speaker 3: persona and he's Canadian.
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, no, no way, not him, not him.
Speaker 1: But I threw out before we started recording, I said,
Speaker 1: you know, doctor sleep. Her number one was you and McGregor.
Speaker 1: You and McGregor. I'm only suspicious of because you don't
Speaker 1: really get a look at him behind Like he doesn't
Speaker 1: I don't know, he doesn't give a clear energy off
Speaker 1: like other You see him act a lot, but he
Speaker 1: doesn't do like a lot of you know, things out there, right,
Speaker 1: And then super producer Victor was like, you keep you
Speaker 1: and McGregor's name out of your fucking mouth and then
Speaker 1: made a throat slashing gesture and so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well no, he did the thing from Eastern Promises
Speaker 3: that Vigo Mortensen did where he just took two fingers.
Speaker 1: Two fingers on either side of the wind pipe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even know what it means.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to know him, so you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1: Brian the editor said, Ewan always has the high ground.
Speaker 1: I said, is that because he's Scottish? And he mocked me.
Speaker 3: Oh Jack, I believe, Oh Jack, oh Jack, you silly,
Speaker 3: silly full Apparently.
Speaker 1: It was a Star Wars reference, and I'm the dork
Speaker 1: for not getting the Star Wars.
Speaker 2: A prequel, a prequel event, a prequel one no less.
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is just it's compelling. I'm always amazed at how
Speaker 1: like you'll you'll assume you'll see these people interviewed on
Speaker 1: talk shows, they will be normal. You'll be like, these
Speaker 1: are normal people. They just do this for a living,
Speaker 1: and then you'll like get this video of what a
Speaker 1: movie shoot is like, and like the director is like
Speaker 1: getting into a fistfight with Lil Tomlin, Why would this
Speaker 1: be an acceptable way for you to like behave on set?
Speaker 2: Was that Huckabees?
Speaker 1: That was yeah, David oh Russell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I lost it.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. That one where the Christian bale one is still
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. It's like she's somebody's like walking
Speaker 1: through his light or something. Yeah, the mockery with which
Speaker 1: he es like you're over there, mate, do doy, it's.
Speaker 2: Believable.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Man, they take it ay man, they're make them ups.
Speaker 3: They take it seriously.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's funny. It's just funny, like how fragile
Speaker 1: some of them are.
Speaker 2: I just like that.
Speaker 3: That's the context in which you can just absolutely fucking
Speaker 3: lose it on someone is when you're acting, you know
Speaker 3: what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, you're higher than them on the call feet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like there's no other place where you do that
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh, I mean, hey man, sorry about that.
Speaker 2: Like you know how it is like any other place
Speaker 2: you're like what the fuck? What the fuck? Like I'll
Speaker 2: fuck you up.
Speaker 1: But like it's like it's like that and the like
Speaker 1: military high command of a dictatorship. It's like two places
Speaker 1: that you're allowed to be able like that and everyone's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Right exactly? They were higher on the call sheet. What
Speaker 2: the fuck?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're fucked. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Uh, could we stay tuned? This is going to
Speaker 1: be I mean, maybe this is just what this show's about.
Speaker 1: From now on, we just ignore the twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: election and just kind of dig in on who.
Speaker 2: It was at Yeah, that and try and figure out
Speaker 2: where Kate Middleton is. Yeah, because that's the other thing.
Speaker 3: Now that it's been they're saying fifty like almost sixty
Speaker 3: something days now.
Speaker 2: Anyway, it's ripe with conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: All right, Well those are some of the things that
Speaker 1: are trending on this Wednesday, February twenty eighth, the very
Speaker 1: last day of February. No questions asked. We are back
Speaker 1: tomorrow with definitely a March episode, and you count on
Speaker 1: that until then. Be kind to each other, be kind
Speaker 1: to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
Speaker 1: and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye.
