Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day's time for Nina's what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Breaking news this morning. According to TMZ and many.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Other outlets, WWE legend Hulk Hogan has passed away at
the age of seventy one. Medics were dispatched early this
morning and the operators were saying that it was regarding
a cardiac arrest.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
The interesting thing about this is a story broke last month.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
There have been like a bunch of fake news stories
about him passing before what so this one seems to
be real this time, but about it's on fake news.
I don't know that, I don't know, but it happens. However,
about a month ago, there was a story that was
kind of more of a rumor at the time that
he wasn't doing very well and that he was dealing
with symptoms of neck problems or stuff that happened after

(00:43):
a neck procedure that went down in May. And so
this may or may not be linked, but that's kind
of part of the speculation.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
At this point. It's still too soon.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
But all that said, the wrestling organization ohe all of it,
all of it.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
They're definitely going to be hurting.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I mean, he is one of the household names that
even if you didn't follow wrestling, you know Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Right, that's young too, so many ones really young. I
know it's a bumber.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
In just two days ago he was at a bar
in New York that's like named after him.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
What.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, it is pretty sad. So I guess at this
time we let them have their privacy and we wait
and see how the story continues to unfold. But so
much love and rip to Hulk Hogan. There's an influencer
by the name of Michelle Sky who has posted this
video that had gone viral.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
She was so excited. She was swimming in exotic sea foam.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
It was foam in Australia and she was doing an
Instagram live and it just looked so beautiful that she's
swimming in foam.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
She she didn't know what the foam was.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Until until one of the people watching it said, I
hope she knows that foam is from a nearby sewer pipe.
Oh my god, this is happening. As she's getting a
little bit of the foam in her mouth, going oh,
that's salty, she quickly realized what that was, and it
was probably going to be one of the like worst experiences.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Jump in that shower, baby.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Is follow me on my eating Pooh journey.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Pham though, that's so weird. I don't know, I just disgusting.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
You know that when you see just standing foam in
water is usually not a good thing.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Why would you think it's a good thing?

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Also, like, I'm sorry this influencer, but why did you.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
She think goes a good thing.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm in an exotic part of the world where the
ocean foam's like this magical, you guys.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
In her defense, I wouldn't have known, and I would
have been like, oh my gosh, that's beautiful. Why do
they have foam in.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Cape co You would have jumped into the foam, not
that it happens nowhere else, and you're like, that's a
good idea, let's jump into it.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, let's be real.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
I don't usually jump in the water because I don't
know how to swim, but I would admire it as
if it was something beautiful.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
So I would immediately sprint to an er and take
you every available test.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
So she's got to live with that for a little while.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
She goes I'm having so much fun, I don't even
feel the cold.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh my gosh, goes wrong, I know, for real influences
in the wild on another level.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
And lastly, have you tried the solid snake method? Oh?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
The solid snake method is how to avoid awkward conversations.
So this is a big thing with gen Z And
actually I'm kind of into it because sometimes you talk
to somebody that you just don't necessarily connect with, but
you want the conversation to keep going, and you don't
want to talk more. You just want to just, you know,
let it go and be polite. You're supposed to repeat
whatever they say as a question.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Uh so, like at the end of what they say, yeah,
it's yeah, that's It's called mirroring in like the I
don't know, the mental health world or techniques or whatever.
I like, how whenever something breaks on social media, somebody
takes an actual concept that already exists and then calls
it something. Why do they call it snake methods?

Speaker 3 (04:01):
So there's a video game called Metal Gear Solid and
apparently apparently one of the characters in the video game
constantly repeats lines back to people like there's a minefield
over there, and you go a Minefield.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
I did bread one, so he got so mad at
me because he already do.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
You probably didn't know it as a solid snake method,
but that's funny.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
There you have it.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Try it next time, whether you do it for real
as a mirroring method.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Or just a snake one, or to annoy your boss.
To annoy your.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Boss, braggart, I did. I swear that to him once
and he got so mad. But I wasn't doing it
on purpose. I got mad.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
He got so annoyed.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
He literally called me out and he goes, oh my god, Victoria,
stop it. I'm like, stop what He's like, you're literally
saying everything that I say, but as a question right
back to me. You're helping none. Like you're not even
like give me a solution. You're just asking questions that
I've already answered.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
And I'm like, she just.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Asked questions that he already answered, you know, And I
just did it to you three times in a row.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
See it works. Look at that. It works. It definitely works.

Speaker 3 (05:08):

Speaker 2 (05:10):
