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