Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day. Brought to you by
Muckleshood Bingo in Auburn, your home from Machine Goo. It's
time for Nina's what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
It feels like every couple days we're doing a report
on Waimo and where these cars are getting stuck. But
today I'm going to tell you about another type of
vehicle that is running and ruining the streets. So there's
something else we're gonna need to worry about while driving.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Horses, right, those don't ever have a chance to malfunction
at all and just start sprinting out of nowhere.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I've actually been thrown off of a horse. Yeah, it's terrifying.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
A lot of that happens when the horse senses your you,
so you must have been freaking out for it to
freak out.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
I was like thirteen, holding on to the back of
my uncle. My uncle was it was his horse, and
he had me on the back wrapped around him, and
randomly the other horse got jealous because it was the
older horse and didn't usually have you know, nobody riding
on it. But it had a hurt, so we didn't
ride that one rode the young one, and the young
one freaked out to you off.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, I've only ridden a horse once, and yeah, they're
very empathetic like these in the therapy and stuff like that.
The horse that I rode, it kept looking back at
me like with this angry side eye, and I'm like,
what'd you do? I don't know. I was like, this
horse does not like me.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I feel you.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah at else.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, I'll tell you what the problem is, and it's
not horses. And that's coming up in a second. But first,
if you experience social anxiety ever in any type of situation,
just no, you're not alone. So does Nick Jonas. Now
he hasn't been very secretive about experiencing social anxiety, but
this is coming up because if you happen to catch
the Golden Globes over the weekend, at one point he

(01:49):
got up, left his table and went outside, and there
are pictures and footage of him standing underneath a tree,
sipping on some water and like kind of just you know,
touching his face kind of anxiously. So some people started
to speculate because he was that he was getting anxiety,
and finally like he spoke up and he's like yeah, Yeah,
that's what it was. That's what it was.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, how normal by talking about it? True?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Why they were making it a big deal, like let
him have his like space.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I don't think anybody was like saying anything bad about
it more than they were just identifying it. Because so
many people experience social anxiety and can't handle being in
those types of situations, and so it's almost like, I
don't know, celebrating him is the face of social anxiety.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
It's good that he says it, because some people wouldn't,
you know, and not just however you say.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
It perpetuates the shame, thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
It perpetuates the shame that people have in their own anxiety.
When everybody deals with anxiety to some sort of.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Level, knowing that somebody on that level has it makes
somebody who has it because I've dealt with anxiety issues
and it's one of those things like you think you're
the only one going through it. So that just compounds
it makes it even worse. Talking about it is really
it is.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
So he is the face of it today.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Just like you love perman No, I do too.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
He's been actually really opened about a lot of things. Now,
this is actually kind of interesting and not surprising. How
much money do you think we spend a year on
viral trends on TikTok? And I don't mean like making
the videos, I mean buying the things that are trending.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh, I would say fifteen hundred.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Dollars at least oh a person?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, okay, I would say around two thousand a person.
Could you think about it like you was a tripod
over here, but we also got like two other tripods
in the back.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
And the same one.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
It's like, and that's just one thing. And then Nina
all of your lights, I know. Oh yeah, we spend
a lot of money on this stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Well you're both kind of right because the answer is
sixteen hundred dollars per per person, which is quite a bit,
but overall the financial impact is an estimated eight point
seven billion dollars spent annually just on these trends. And
then they went even further to ask how long you
use these things that you bought? And it's six to
twelve months and then you drop off. So although this

(04:06):
tripods pretty legit, if you want the link we.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Got you, yeah, people will buy it.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Just make a trend.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
And lastly, the one thing that we may need to
start worrying about on the roads right now. It's happening
in China. They have driverless delivery vans, which in theory
is probably great because people are ordering things all the time.
But instead of having way most stories, they have these
delivery van stories where they've got pictures and videos of
them getting stuck in cement, bouncing around roads, rolling over

(04:39):
vegetables that people had left out on the road, and
then like somehow it just like drives over.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
It dtable, it drove over vegetables.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yeah, and then there's all around there on the ground.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Get the squirrels die.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Every day, there's ten thousand robo vans in three hundred cities,
and there's one that's going super viral of the van
shaking as it goes over all of this gravel and potholes,
like it doesn't drive around them, it just goes through them,
and it's just it's just bouncing all the way through.
So anyway, I'm just assuming if it's over there now,
it's probably gonna come here eventually.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
I mean, that sounds like it's doing a better job
than our half of our drivers here.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Or like, I mean, the benefit is they don't have
people in them at all, but you still need to
steer clear because I can see it hitting.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
People, so we'll get it out and get out of
its way.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Robo vans anyway, that's what's trending.
