Episode Transcript
You don't forget every single phone prank. Right now is
(00:02):
a free trip phone prank your shot at a trip
to the Austin City Limits Music Festival to see Sabrina
Carpenter and a bunch of other people.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
All you have to do is go to the jubilshow.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Dot com slash acl and enter the keyword Austin. Right now,
that's Austin at the jubilshow dot com slash acl.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It's time for Nina's what's trending. It's the end of
an era. I guess we were moving in this direction.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
But food halls are in, buffets are out in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
So oh.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
One of the big draws to go to Sin City
was always a buffet. It was Yeah, I had never
heard of that.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I never really liked the buffets, but I have some
friends that love the buffets.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I am that friend. Yes, I am that friend that
loved the buffet. I already say loved buffets.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yes, Like at all of the hotels, sometimes you would
just book where you were staying based off of how
great the buffet was, or if they were having a deal,
or was like crab leg day.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Like shrimp and crab legs. Really, why just go to
a restaurant. This is a restaurant. It just offers everything.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It's like you're getting a little bit of seafood Italian
as much as you want.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
That's the pole.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
And then there's always like a great dessert section where
it's like an overflowing chocolate fountain. I would always get
so sick afterwards because I don't know how to stop
eating when I'm that happy. So it's like pure gluttony.
But looks like people are out on that. They've decided
to replace a lot of the famous buffets with these
(01:24):
food halls.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
So it's exactly what you think it is.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
It's just a place that has different like restaurants for
you to choose from or whatever. But yeah, it's not
any cheaper, it's just different.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I like that better though, because almost like in a
food hall, each little restaurant or whatever it is is
like make specifically what that food is.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So does the buffet, Yeah, corner of the buffet makes
specifically what that type of food is.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, But sometimes these little restaurants are just like they've
been making it for a lot, Like it's a nice
a little better.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think you want to you just argue, no, I swear.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Like the buffet's like they make everything, but they don't
put any special time on.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
So it's like the branding of it. If you're like,
want Mexican food and it's a Mexican place, you're like,
this is better Mexican than if I had at a
buffet because that's what they do.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yeah, like the people making the Mexican food. I'd really
hope depending on what kind of that's probably that's true
it is. There's probably a level of truth to that. Yeah,
just a level.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
You'll probably be really excited about this and if you
knew it existed already, Oh my gosh, cheers to you.
It is almost time to vote for fat Bear a week.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I joke all the time, and I mean no disrespect,
but fat babies, fat puppies, fat kitties, like fat bears, an.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Actual bear or like a hairy dude who wears no,
I was talking about an actual bear.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
The polls will open next week for the annual bracket
style competition to crown the chunkiest bear.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You get to hug it America.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I would love to comfy. Well, they're actually quite dangerous, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't think they want your hust Well.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yoki Bear wasn't dangerous, looked nice one.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
The annual Fat Bear Whek contest relies on public votes
to determine which brown bear in the National Park has
put on the most weight ahead of winter hibernation.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
See, if you buy a nice one, you can kind
of bring him into the competition.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
If you mind Yogi Berry. You don't know, he wasn't dangerous.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You don't know what was in that picnic basket.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
He seemed to night two tourists in there. I'm hungry
that you guys.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Last year, the Chunky twenty twenty three champion Grazer was claimed.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Maybe his name was chunky.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I thought that was going to say something way cooler,
just such chunky, and I had to read the sentence.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Oh no, I'm sorry, his name was Grazer. Okay, you
just wanted to call him chunky, didn't you. They did.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
They called him the Chimney twenty twenty three champion. So
they're really leaning into this fat bear chunky bear thing.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I'm surprised Peta hasn't waited in on this, like it's
body shame. Yeah for the bear kind.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
We're just playing them laughing, but we're laughing them, not
because they're so cute. Because they're so cute. That is
what's trending.
