Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of For the Trend of Hit of Mr. Zite, there will be a show tonight that is courtesy of Steve Femm shout out to you steve that is a very apropos trending title for a show that we do release at night uh well done um i'm jack that's miles and here are some things that are trending um johnny damon back in the news um wait again i thought he got arrested like three weeks ago he got arrested three weeks ago they just released the body cam footage baby

uh and uh this isn't shocking to anyone who has seen below deck has seen his work on below deck i was gonna say yeah or yeah just generally uh the the general trend of the players from that red sox um you know legendary team that won the first red sox title in a while you got your kurt's shilling uh and now you're johnny's damon uh he while he was being arrested uh brought up his trump support and said he was blue lives matter uh i'm blue himself yeah he himself is i am blue lie it is i blue lives matter here to talk to you mortals yeah um so you know him didn't didn't work didn't work out for him um it's funny because like cop who was like uh let's let's release that because he he can't he's not gonna get canceled it's funny because like when you're when you're out there with your shit like the whole time people like yeah that's johnny i mean johnny damon and shit like that's what he's been

doing i've seen and i was like i think the the second I saw him and his wife just get smack daddy on the fucking yacht, I was like, they're fucking trouble. They were the kind of people who were getting so fucked up and entitled to shit that it was like a party I would not want to be at at all. Because you're embarrassed on their behalf. You're like, I wouldn't be treating the whole situation like this but they party right they they go hard um and you're going hard the the blue paint uh brooklyn dad is trending uh this is a account that i think everybody's seeing it's i i feel like i see it you probably know the avatar if you don't know the avatar yeah it's just a bearded dude against a brick wall brooklyn dad defiant who's you know been one of those like twitter accounts like like liberal twitter

accounts that dunks on the president with viral tweets and replies like you know when is bernie gonna drop out already yeah exactly so that dude the thing that happened was people really found out that he had been paid by this super pack or whatever to for influencer work and people are like i can't believe it i'm like his takes were so like center center dem like paid or not you're like were you actually looking at his him as some kind of folk hero because the the takes were not that uh amazing but yeah that's that's got a lot of people just being like is it fucking resistance grifter and all this other shit but it's like hello this yeah i don't know i'm like not shocked at all so i don't know and also i don't have a relationship with this account that I'm like, you were supposed to be the prophecy that came true.

Yeah. I mean, anybody who's militantly centrist and doesn't have a clear reason for it, I would not be surprised about this cause it's just such a strange, uh, thing to be very strongly like it. The centrist belief is just like, well, it's the prudent thing to do is to support the candidate who is going to be supported by the mainstream media type thing.

It's not like, uh, I don't know, uh, a thing that seems like you could be you could have religious conviction behind but i don't know i kind of i i don't doubt i mean i've seen how these people get down they they like they like the likes and the retweets and shit like that's their you know we're not jack we don't all sip from the same river baby that's you know what i mean um but yeah it's like it's just a mixture of people being like support him and also like straight up he did i think apparently in his bio he said he was a senior advisor to this pack so

it's like what was he what was he hiding yeah yeah that's pretty transparent i mean if you're if you're upset about a influencer wait till you hear about the media right and how how the how these parties have their fingers deep in that shit too but like let's not act like these twitter accounts are fucking what all right let's talk about packs another pack that trump pack uh he is so he's basically going to war with the uh fundraising arm of the republican party it seems like he's he's basically saying no more money for rhinos baby uh it's time to just give the the money straight to daddy fuck the world wildlife federation fuck the rhinos i don't give a fuck what happens to them. Care if they're endangered.

But yeah, he's literally, I mean, not literally, figuratively. Sorry. God, terrible habit I have. He's figuratively launching a war against the fundraising arm of the Republican Party and trying to just absorb it on his own. He first, he hit them with a cease and desist uh letter over the weekend basically saying don't use my fucking face in your fundraising image like any of your fundraising material so that was like step one and then out your mouth then they're like oh shit like we like

you know because they're in too deep with him and they but hey this is the party y'all chose um now then on monday they were like, okay, how about this? Like part of our spring donor retreat will be at Mar-a-Lago. So there's some monies for you. Is that okay? Then on then that night, Trump sent out the thing. He's like, send it to me, not the rhinos. It's like, but we just said we'd go to Mar-a-Lago.

And now they're still trying to like make nice with him. But yeah, this is, I mean, he's trying to carve out his little spot. I mean, he's trying to carve out the entire spot. He's trying to... Yeah. So it's interesting because at his CPAC speech, another PAC, he was like,

I'm going to be a Republican, like straight up. Love the band. But his word means nothing, I guess. We should know that by now. He fucks over everybody. That's why it's so dumb. Whatever. That's what this racism and shit does to you when you're in pursuit of this singular thing that's already nonsensical you'll make these weird fucked up decisions like you know signing up to somebody

who has shown himself to be a deceptive lizard person the whole time who is only thinking about himself and will throw toss your ass out the second he doesn't need you right it's like it's like a scientific law at this point right yeah yeah it really is uh all right let's talk finally about the hawk uh as nobody calls him but yeah what my dad would call him if he was like a friend of my dad's uh the hawk the hawk you mean anthony hawk dad yeah yeah the hawk yeah uh tony hawk i don't know why that's how my dad talks in my mind but uh tony hawk he is obviously a legendary skater legendary uh titular uh real life figure for a legendary video game um and he is apparently not that so you and i differ on this uh he is apparently not that. So you and I differ on this. He is kind of known on social media for having these stories where people don't recognize him or they recognize him in so far as, oh, you look like that dude, Tony Hawk.

Right. But then end it there. Right. You look like that dude. you look like that dude like there's one story where a ticket uh a person taking his ticket while he's boarding a flight is like you look like that guy uh that skater guy tony hawk i wonder what he's up to you're taking my ticket that says tony fucking hawk on it asshole i'm doing this now in front of you yeah um and i'm sitting economy because i'm still you know i'm with the shits i don't know what his whole thing is. Like, there's always these moments and he's always so funny about it, too.

Like whenever like this one tweet is like, I guess, for whatever reason, becoming viral today, which is him. It's clearly a photo like I can tell from his silhouette. It's Tony Hawk, his shadow. And it's him taking a photo of like a kid on a half pipe. And he puts this interaction down. Kid at skate park as I arrive. You a good skater? Me.

Sometimes. Him. You ever been here? Me. No. Him. You travel a lot? Me.

Yes, perhaps too much. Him. Are you a YouTuber? Me. No, I'm just a skater and a dad. Hmm. You want to see me do a jump? Me.

Absolutely. And then I shot this pic follow up follow up i asked him his name and he said irving i told him my name is tony to which he replied sarcastically like tony hawk and then he left that rules um is he still like one of the greats like is he considered yeah i mean because you think about dude he yeah the 720 the 900 like it's all it's part of the lore and like the game and then the game is it's fuck it's bigger than what like even 2k is to basketball like it's right it is the singular skating game which most people would probably be like tony hawk 2 um so yeah i don't know it's just

funny because like i love the game so much but the people are doing memes are like if you remember the playstation version look at the rendering of his face how the fuck could you recognize him in public right so that's true yeah and even pictures of him like in my mind he always has a helmet on and is on a skateboard and in a t-shirt if i saw him in any other context uh there's just a lot of dudes who look like that who are like i'm assuming he's over six feet right he seems like a tall he seems like a tall dude yeah 5'10 probably at the least that would be the thing that would confuse me is i picture him being tall and if he's 5 10 i would be like oh you look like he's 6 3 no he's 6 3 that's what i that's what i picture him uh 6 3 mostly adam's apple uh just like skinny dude

uh walking around and but he has to be like in a t-shirt and jeans and uh have a helmet on and be skateboarding for me to recognize him and those things would not normally be the case i'm sure uh he at least takes breaks from that to eat meals you know right it's funny too when you look at photos and he kind of looks like james wood's fucked up nephew right right and i hate to do that to him but you know i know like three dudes who could probably convince people they were actually Tony Hawk. Like it's not that abnormal of a look for, you know, a 40 something tall skinny. Roy Scheider from Jaws could have been Tony Hawk. Yeah. Anyways, shout out to the Hawk Man.

Yeah, exactly. T-Hawk from Street Fighter, who was with me. Hey, that is some of the things that are trending today. Yeah. We are back tomorrow with our March 11th episode, the anniversary of the day that changed it all. anniversary at the end it changed it all so uh yeah we'll we'll talk to y'all then uh until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves wear a mask stay inside don't do nothing about white supremacy and we'll talk to y'all then bye bye there's so much beauty in mexican culture
