Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of who
Speaker 1: do you Trend You Are? I Am? That is courtesy
Speaker 1: of Dancing Zemo on Twitter reference to my favorite and
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough list to crack, but top five
Speaker 1: bowling celebrations of all time. Um. The guy who shouts
Speaker 1: that's right, I did it, God, damn damn it right.
Speaker 1: I think he says a one pipe he just like
Speaker 1: forgets how to swear, and then at one point he shouts,
Speaker 1: who do you think you are? I am? And it's glorious. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm Jack and I'm thrilled to be joined by the
Speaker 1: writer on the Daily Zeitgeist. It is mister Jam McNab hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me coming to us all the way
Speaker 1: from the great White North Toronto. Yeah, it's very white.
Speaker 1: There was like a blizzard, yester. Yeah, it's like the
Speaker 1: shining over here. Nice not like your psychological makeup. Also
Speaker 1: the shining. And I feel like Toronto is one of
Speaker 1: the city's like Loville, Kentucky, where there is a insisted
Speaker 1: upon pronunciation that is not the way that most people
Speaker 1: pronounce it. Is that correct? Yeah? I guess so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: most people here kind of call it Toronto. Toronto. They don't.
Speaker 1: They don't emphasize the tease as much as you would think.
Speaker 1: It's like a nickname for your friend Tron. Yeah, Toronto. Hey, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's Toronto baby. If the game Tron was one of
Speaker 1: the Marx brothers, that's what. All right, Well, these are
Speaker 1: some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: So Vladimir Putin has signed a decree, not the most
Speaker 1: impactful decree for most people that he has signed, but
Speaker 1: one that we're gonna sure as shit pay attention to
Speaker 1: on the Daily Zaca. He signed a decree honoring US
Speaker 1: actor and Russians since Steven Seagal. The decree cited what
Speaker 1: it called Seagal's great contribution to the development of international
Speaker 1: cultural and humanitarian cooperation. Yeah, it's also like a friendship thing,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I saw headlines being like it's like it's
Speaker 1: like an official friend honor. That that feels right, I
Speaker 1: mean it feels like the sort of thing that would
Speaker 1: be given to Steven Seagal. Yeah, that he can put
Speaker 1: with an entire trophy case full of like national friend
Speaker 1: awards from dictators and like international villains. M Yeah, from
Speaker 1: the start, he's been very certain that he is like
Speaker 1: a global like spiritual leader like it just from from
Speaker 1: the time he was an action star. That seemed to
Speaker 1: be the direction his brain wanted to take. It is
Speaker 1: just like I'm basically like the Dali Lama, Like the
Speaker 1: Dalai Lama actually looks up to me, right, And the
Speaker 1: only place he could get confirmation that he was correct
Speaker 1: about that was with places that had a very um specific,
Speaker 1: twisted relationship to the truth I feel like, which is
Speaker 1: how he ended up where he is right, places that
Speaker 1: would believe that he could beat Tommy Lee Jones and
Speaker 1: a knife fight for real, not a chance. Literally, nobody
Speaker 1: can beat Tommy Lee Jones and a knife fight. It's uh,
Speaker 1: that is a fact that physicists said, Mit, you know,
Speaker 1: did a lot of experiments to try and figure out
Speaker 1: and they've they've come to that conclusion. Well, I feel
Speaker 1: like what that kind of like this weird coddling of
Speaker 1: Steven Seagale that's happening in Russia, Like they tried it
Speaker 1: for a while here, Like do you remember they had
Speaker 1: that show where he uh it was like a reality
Speaker 1: show where he was on like a sheriff's police force
Speaker 1: kind of the foundational myth of this podcast. I would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it would be like hed be like he's out
Speaker 1: there on the streets and like he's putting his life
Speaker 1: on the line, and it would be like, you know,
Speaker 1: they roll up to like a house and they're like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're going in, and then it would cut to like
Speaker 1: the inside of the house with everyone in handcuffs, and
Speaker 1: then he would walk in. Yeah, exactly. And at one
Speaker 1: point drove a military vehicle through a wall of a
Speaker 1: house of somebody who like they weren't right about whatever
Speaker 1: they claimed in the show they were they suspected this
Speaker 1: person of and it killed his pet. I think, oh
Speaker 1: my god. And yeah, he did speak at a supervius
Speaker 1: or Brian pointing out he did speak with a black
Speaker 1: sun during the during that show, like in spots, not
Speaker 1: not consistently, but he has always kind of viewed himself
Speaker 1: as black. He's Native American, He's whatever you need him
Speaker 1: to be. It's a mess. It's a mess up there
Speaker 1: and in that head of his both on the outside
Speaker 1: where his black hair dye can be seen leaking off
Speaker 1: of his hairline down into his eyes. Anytime it's not
Speaker 1: He's not huge on physical exertion, So it is rare
Speaker 1: to see that. But sometimes it gets a little hot
Speaker 1: under those lights when he's, you know, doing a international
Speaker 1: press hit on behalf of Ladimir Putin. If you've ever
Speaker 1: seen him be interviewed about that, he pronounces that in
Speaker 1: a very specific way. Well he's a trained actor. Yeah, Niate,
Speaker 1: that's right, all right? Uh, Fox News, This dominion voting
Speaker 1: systems lawsuit is really you review. We're getting to see
Speaker 1: some interesting things about how they operate behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's about what we would expect, but it's
Speaker 1: interesting to see it on the on the record. Like
Speaker 1: there's some transcripts of statements made by Rupert Murdoch under
Speaker 1: oath where he's just like, yeah, we immediately knew that
Speaker 1: the idea that the twenty twenty election was stole him
Speaker 1: as bullshit. And there's one text exchange where Paul Ryan
Speaker 1: for US Speaker of the House, who I guess is
Speaker 1: on Fox's board of directors, sent Rupert and Lochlin Murdoch
Speaker 1: a text message saying we were entering a truly bizarre
Speaker 1: phase of this where Trump has actually convinced himself of
Speaker 1: this farce, and we'll do more bizarre things to delegitimize
Speaker 1: the election, and Rupert was like, call me later read
Speaker 1: Trump and Paul Trump on Saturday sounded really crazy. So
Speaker 1: he's like sitting there owning this thing and having the
Speaker 1: same reactions that I think a lot of us were,
Speaker 1: where it's just like, well, this is clearly not true, right,
Speaker 1: we all know that. And then yeah, helped trigger the
Speaker 1: Capitol riots and he said that at the time. I
Speaker 1: guess told a Fox executive, Fox News is very busy pivoting.
Speaker 1: We want to make Trump a non person. They have
Speaker 1: not exactly succeeded in that. But it also reveals that,
Speaker 1: like Murdoch says that Sean Hannity was privately disgusted with
Speaker 1: Trump's actions following his loss in the twenty twenty election,
Speaker 1: despite showing steadfast support on air, he did not believe
Speaker 1: any of this ship you dumb dumbs. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's about what we expected. But it's still interesting
Speaker 1: to just see it in broad daylight that they are
Speaker 1: openly lying and just saying whatever they think is going
Speaker 1: to get ratings. I am surprised, like in this lawsuits
Speaker 1: so far, we haven't had the defense of like that.
Speaker 1: All the Fox News anchors are like characters. I think
Speaker 1: that's always there. I think they always say like they
Speaker 1: always say that they program like the later block that
Speaker 1: is also called Fox News in is no way advertised
Speaker 1: as such, but they say that it's the entertainment portion
Speaker 1: and yeah, exactly doing news, but it's clear performance artist. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back. And it seems like
Speaker 1: everyone just remembered that Mark Wahlberg is a piece of
Speaker 1: shit all at the same time. After the cast of
Speaker 1: Everything Everywhere, All at Once won the SAG Award for
Speaker 1: Best Cast, people were like, wait, Mark Wahlberg is presenting
Speaker 1: them with that. That's weird since, yeah, he was arrested
Speaker 1: for anti Asian hate crimes as a teenager, including the
Speaker 1: severe beating of a Vietnamese man. Yeah, it seems well,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's weird for few reasons. One
Speaker 1: is because he committed to these hate crimes, and the
Speaker 1: other is because it was an award for acting. It
Speaker 1: wasn't for best greasy beef salesman. People like he did
Speaker 1: his time. He's proven time and again that he's you know,
Speaker 1: learned his lesson and you were pointing outing your research
Speaker 1: on that on this that like he got off extremely lightly,
Speaker 1: Like he was originally charged with attempted murder um and
Speaker 1: then that was reduced to criminal contempt, which is always interesting,
Speaker 1: like just makes me picture a criminal like folding their
Speaker 1: arms and being like or wrong, I show contempt for you.
Speaker 1: Played guilty, was sentenced to two years, ended up serving
Speaker 1: a total of forty five days. And part of his
Speaker 1: guilty plea was that he was going to I think
Speaker 1: do some sort of like work or like official apologies,
Speaker 1: and like never did any of that shit. Is that right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's but when he like became famous and was doing
Speaker 1: like the Calvin Klein ads, you know a lot of
Speaker 1: people were not happy with that, and sort of because
Speaker 1: of protests, he agreed to do like this anti racism
Speaker 1: series of PSAs. So he was going to do that,
Speaker 1: but they never actually happened because he and gotten trouble
Speaker 1: for attacking someone else inspired by his holophobia. So he
Speaker 1: never actually made restitution with the PSAs because he did
Speaker 1: something else shitty. So yeah, he never really I would
Speaker 1: argue he didn't really like learn his lesson in any
Speaker 1: way was however, No, and there's the whole other thing
Speaker 1: where like he was trying to get pardoned for a
Speaker 1: long time, like maybe like ten years ago, or it
Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago. He was trying to like seek
Speaker 1: a pardon, and he you know, went on interviews like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I've turned my life around, I've done so much. But
Speaker 1: then it turned out it was like he was trying
Speaker 1: to do it seemingly because he was applying for like
Speaker 1: a new Wall Burger's liquor license or something, and they
Speaker 1: in some states that I was, yeah, exactly, So it
Speaker 1: was less to do about like absolving himself from sins
Speaker 1: in his past and more to do with like selling
Speaker 1: beer at yea at his Burger Franchi, profitability of being
Speaker 1: an admitted felon in the United States or whatever. But
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't he didn't say that, Like he
Speaker 1: went out and I was like, oh, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a suish person. This is all about like turning
Speaker 1: my life around. And then it's like, wow, it might
Speaker 1: also be about Wallburgers, which I've never eaten at, but
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's awful. It's Superproducer Justin shared with me
Speaker 1: the fact that one of the most expensive Jordan shoes
Speaker 1: in existence is a pair of Mark Wahlberg designed I'll
Speaker 1: put in quotes air Jordan fours that are Wallburger. They're
Speaker 1: called the Wallburgers and they're Jordan four. The colorway is
Speaker 1: actually cool, so whoever he hired to do the colorway,
Speaker 1: it is cool. And I think the thing that is
Speaker 1: like fun about them is that they have the Wallburger
Speaker 1: logo on the tongue of a logo. And I think,
Speaker 1: obviously because they are so hard to cut, the scarcity
Speaker 1: of them is probably the main contributor to the price.
Speaker 1: But it's disappointing. I'm disappointed in the shoe market. Yeah,
Speaker 1: allowed this to be the most expensive Jordan. That's the
Speaker 1: only tongue I would want coming into contact with a Wahlberger.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks, Thanks, Okay, that's good. Gott to end
Speaker 1: the show right there on that one. Um, But surely
Speaker 1: that you know, being one of the most famous people
Speaker 1: in the world for the last thirty years has showed
Speaker 1: him the errors of his way and never coming into
Speaker 1: contact with anyone who's given him an honest opinion of
Speaker 1: who he is or you know, his behavior has has
Speaker 1: showed him the errors of his ways and also his
Speaker 1: ability to just get away with a racist hate crime
Speaker 1: in broad daylight. I'm sure he's a pretty good guy
Speaker 1: at this point. So yeah, but maybe if you're the
Speaker 1: SAG Awards, give it a think before you're you're having
Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg do anything. But it's like award, It's like
Speaker 1: the highest honor of the Acting Awards ceremony. Let's get
Speaker 1: the Daddy's Home two guy to come out. Guys like
Speaker 1: specifically like doesn't have range, Like what is charming about
Speaker 1: him as an actor is not acting and just being
Speaker 1: the same kind of proudly dumb. Yeah, and every week
Speaker 1: we need a guy who can get really mad at
Speaker 1: like some trees and a plant. I've loved Mark Wahlberg
Speaker 1: in a handful of movies, so I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: here to don't don't think I'm telling you you're wrong
Speaker 1: for enjoying a Mark Wahlberg performance here and there. I
Speaker 1: think his performance and iHeart Huckabees is very funny. He's
Speaker 1: solid and boogie nights yeah, and three Kings. He had
Speaker 1: a really good run there for a little while. Speaking
Speaker 1: of good runs there for a little while, and around
Speaker 1: the same time, Tom Sizemore is apparently nearing the end,
Speaker 1: he had a stroke that caused an angrysm and the
Speaker 1: doctors informed his family that it's time to start making
Speaker 1: an end of life care decisions for him, which is
Speaker 1: very sad. But Tom slismore from like saving private Ryan heat,
Speaker 1: like he natural born killers. Just he was really on
Speaker 1: one there for a while before things kind of I
Speaker 1: think addiction really cut his career short. But and there've
Speaker 1: been a lot of like serious allegations against him and
Speaker 1: stuff too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I've known people that
Speaker 1: have worked with him and just said he was yeah,
Speaker 1: generally very not great. Yeah, that's I mean, still obviously
Speaker 1: a tragic situation for his family. Yeah, for sure. All right.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the nineties and movies, there is a new teaser,
Speaker 1: I guess for a new Arnold Schwarzenegger TV show called
Speaker 1: Foo Bar. It is a trailer that suggests to me
Speaker 1: that they haven't even figured out what it's about yet.
Speaker 1: It's like Arnold Schwarzenegger looking so what old but still
Speaker 1: being action hero eh, running around like shooting things, driving
Speaker 1: a car in footage that looks like it is like
Speaker 1: what one of those commercials where it starts out like
Speaker 1: and it's supposed to be an action movie and then
Speaker 1: the person like turns to the cameras like I saved
Speaker 1: a bunch of money on my car insurance like that.
Speaker 1: That seems to be the level of imagination and originality
Speaker 1: that is going into into this. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Did you watch Tulsa King? Uh No, I haven't the
Speaker 1: stallone one? Right? Yeah, on TV show. I haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: but I've heard people whose opinions I respects saying it's
Speaker 1: fun and very dumb. It well, you know, it's weird
Speaker 1: because it's I don't know, I grew up watching Arnold
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger action movies. I would love to get another one.
Speaker 1: It's just it seems weird. This like a TV show
Speaker 1: like I've never watched I never watched Commando and think
Speaker 1: I need eight more hours of Command after this, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: But I don't know it was shot in Toronto. Actually,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that until I was watching this. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, that's what he was here doing.
Speaker 1: Because like there was like a few months where people
Speaker 1: would just see Arnold Schwarzenegger like riding around on a
Speaker 1: bicycle smoking a cigar. That is kind of what he does.
Speaker 1: Just generally that's like how you see him in public.
Speaker 1: There's that, and then there's like him having his pet
Speaker 1: ponies in restaurants with him. He has a pony he
Speaker 1: brings to a restaurant, believe, I mean, I know he
Speaker 1: had them around his house. Then he would take a
Speaker 1: lot of videos. But I'm pretty sure there's been like
Speaker 1: sightings where it's like, yeah, he was down here with
Speaker 1: whiskey I think was one of their names or something.
Speaker 1: Oh where it. I was at a restaurant once and
Speaker 1: Randy Quaid came in with a dog that it's not
Speaker 1: a pony. Yeah, yeah, um, it is not a pony.
Speaker 1: A dog is not a pony. Oh, but you're saying
Speaker 1: it is funny that like this like a thirty second
Speaker 1: teaser and most of it's like him driving a car,
Speaker 1: but then a not unsubstantial amount of the teaser is
Speaker 1: taken up by him getting hit in the balls at
Speaker 1: the end. Yeah, it's like a Then there's like a
Speaker 1: comedian who bag taps him and says bag tap or
Speaker 1: bag tag or whatever, and then he's like, oh, Jay
Speaker 1: barrishell is in it. Whose work I always enjoy from? Um,
Speaker 1: what's he from? Where do I know? Forty year old no,
Speaker 1: knocked up. Yeah, he's in a lot of those. I
Speaker 1: mean when I was a kid, he was in Popular
Speaker 1: Mechanics for Kids, which was a science show for Canadian youth.
Speaker 1: So yeah he is Canadian, right, Yeah, Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping like his involvement makes me think it's going
Speaker 1: to be an action comedy. That seems to be what
Speaker 1: all the press is. The other option is that like
Speaker 1: Jay Barrischell just comes in and is like yoked like
Speaker 1: because every once in a while these comedians take that
Speaker 1: turn where they're like, you've all laughed at me for
Speaker 1: the last time, and now I'm going to be incredibly strong.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. They just like tear off their hoodie
Speaker 1: like hul Cogan exactly. All right, well, those are some
Speaker 1: of the things that are trending on this Tuesday, February
Speaker 1: twenty eight. We are back tomorrow with the whole last
Speaker 1: episode of the show Jam. Where can people find you?
Speaker 1: Fully you can find me on Twitter at Jam mcnabigan.
Speaker 1: All right, back tomorrow until then, be kind to each other,
Speaker 1: be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing
Speaker 1: about white supremacy, and we'll talk to y'all Tomorrow fight
