Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Nina's What's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So Hooters is the latest restaurant chain to make an
announcement about changes coming soon, and they've described their changes
as a rehooterization. Oh so, I'm going to tell you
what that actually means and see if it matches what
you're thinking it means right now.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
In just a second.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
But first we have officially arrived at an AI milestone.
There's an AI artist by the name of Zanaia Monet
who has made history by becoming the first AI act
to appear on a Billboard radio chart with her song
how Is I supposed to Know?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
So this is what she sounds like? Sounds good, pretty good,
sounds pretty good. It just kind of makes me mad
that it's AI.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yeah, I know, it's pretty insane what you can do
with AI as far as music goes.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
But but so the woman behind it is this creator.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
She's a poet.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Her name's Talsia Jones and she's been using this AI
platform called Suno.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Why didn't she sing it?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I guess she doesn't sing, but she writes poetry. So
all the lyrics and all the songs she's created, she's
just how this. Yeah, the voice this persona of Zanaia
that's doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
I mean the lyrics are hers, so at least the
words are true. I do feel like it would sound
like trash if the words were Ais, because it would
be it.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, I doesn't really speak the way humans do a
lot of time, so I think, yeah, you just like,
let AI do it completely.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
It probably would not the lyrics probably wouldn't be that good.
Who knows. I mean, they do have some crazy AI
out there, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
And then you think about how that's gonna work. Like,
let's say, if she ever wants to go on tour,
Now are we doing those holograms of.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
A not real person like a.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Hologram?

Speaker 5 (01:44):
I feel like that's not as fun with like touring Wise,
I'd like I wouldn't have fun watching that, but she doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
It doesn't sound bad and the words are hers, so
basically less mad.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
But I wouldn't pay money to go see her on tour,
and I I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I feel like the way that could work is if
it's E D M O R.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, oh yeah, with the lights and.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah do everything on the des like you even mix
the the AI person and with other people that I
don't know, do whatever, but some crazy AI kind of
mixing one.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Do you remember the Gorillas? Yeah, the band the Gorillas.
They never showed themselves any time they went on tour.
They were just kind of like a cartoon or like
an image of themselves.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
But it was a band.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
But weren't they did they still go on stage? I
don't like think so, wasn't it that kind.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Of like Marshmallow how he's like a guy but doesn't
show his face. But that's like for privacy reasons.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, and dead Mouse does that too, but that's different. Yeah.
I don't know. I don't know, but here we are
in a new world where music in one even.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
If if you liked the song, or would you go
see an AI artist in person?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
That's a great question. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
So other interesting news is Hooters is getting their rehooterization.
But again I don't think it's what you're thinking it
is right now because Hooters has said the founders promise
to make modesty back in charge of the chain.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Wait has modesty ever? That was my question.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
They say they're going back to their roots of modesty.
They want to make the shorts not the booty shorts.
That go all the way up, but now just little
orange running shorts, so not wedgie shorts.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Running shorts.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, they want to make it more family friendly. But
when I think of a family establishment, this is not
the place you go to Olive Garden.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
There's so many options. Chuck e cheese. Oh, I don't
know that sounds like sounds more fun for my kid.
But I mean, to each their own. I always had
a good time at Hooters. Always.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
They always pretended it was my birthday, but I did
always kind of wonder why the couple next to me
brought their four year old.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, there are a lot of kids that go to Hooters,
so but I don't know.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
I mean, whatever I do wonder maybe like back in
the day, like when they first first started, like the
first week it was open, maybe it was like basketball
shorts and but not booty shorts.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
So maybe they want to bring it back to those days.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's called Hooters, like hoot, like your hoot. Stop it,
stop stop it?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Are you serious, Victoria? You do not know what they
mean by Hooters?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh I don't. I don't. I feel like I want
to be nice today. Can you do it?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
I'm gonna motion to Victoria what they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's trending.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
Wait, that makes that doesn't make sense, you know, you
know that that's what what Hooters is, but that what
they call them.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yes, it's been called that forever, you Hooters. Then they
got the owl on the on the tank top.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
What is owl?

Speaker 3 (04:43):
What's the point of the.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Owl to disguise the fact that the restaurant is about motioning?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Again, what they are

Speaker 5 (04:51):
The
