Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for Ninas was trending. Fire festivals in the news again, bro,
are you ready?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
This time we're talking about fire Festival in a new
way though Fire Festival the musical is in the works, So.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's gonna be yes.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's a comedy, it's a musical, and it's all set
to be produced by Taiko Ytt and his wife Rito
or dude, why don't we think of that?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
That is hilarious, so perfect.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well, he directed like the last two FORR Movies and
like has done all kinds of hilarious things movies.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's what it says. Yeah, that's impressive.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I know he was working with Marvel on some stuff.
So anyway, he's hilarious. She's so cute. And they're not
the only producers. There's other people that are involved too,
but they just have this idea to talk about how
it all originally went down in twenty seventeen and bring
it to life. I just I wonder what the music
is going to be, like, Like, how do you make
this a musical?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
You make it like the high school musical kind of
that's kind of the vibe.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I see it, like, we almost did it. We didn't
do it. We almost did it. We didn't do it,
Like it's like.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
We have our chad.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
They're lying everywhere, busy guice. We got it.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
But it does sound hilarious and right now it's just
going to be a play, but I kind of hope
that they make it for like movie movies.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, that would be amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Now, something else that's popping off right now is soft clubbing.
It is a global phenomenon and it's reshaping the way
people socialize. Soft clubbing is basically clubbing, but with coffee, djas, yes,
less alcohol. Is where people are prioritizing wellness and new
ways of connecting.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
So this has been happening a.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Lot in Australia and is starting to move its way
around the world. But some of these parties are during
the day where they're just drinking espresso shots and dancing
and talking to people.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
And yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that
at all.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
No, No, I want to be drunk and going crazy
in a club and I mean I feel like that
when you go clubbing, it's like you only see like
people like shaking it and like things getting crazy because
of like the state, everyone can younot have fun sober,
Yes I can but.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's hard to have fun sober because then you're just like,
I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
You can, but if everybody else is sober too, it's
just not fun in the club when you're the only
one sober because everybody's wasted, and then they don't speak English.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Also look better in the club when you're not sober.
That's so dark you can't see no one can't anyways,
and you're like whoa, And then you'd be like, You're like,
what is going on? It's like you're like, let's go.
Everyone's jumping and dancing.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I don't want to go to club graunber butt.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
I was drunk. I'm sorry, bye bye, whoa? Whoa your spectacle?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
And if I ask and okay, okay, well, I guess
the emphasis on the new ways to connect is really
key here.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
With soft clubbing now we will not be doing.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
On a much more serious note, but actually really interesting
and it'll be interesting to see if this moves through
other states. But New Mexico is the first state in
the nation to guarantee no cost universal childcare starting November first.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
It is groundbreaking.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
The initiative will make childcare available to everybody in New Mexico,
regardless of income and that they're going to be removing
the income income eligibility requirements, care assistance programs. Everybody's going
to be able to have it co payments.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
It's it. But what does that like? What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I mean, I feel like that means that the state
is going to be paying for your childcare, which is like, okay, well,
if you have to work, you're dropping off your kid
a daycare that you're not paying for.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Oh okay, okay. I mean it's hard for parents. Man,
it's so expensive.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I don't know when people are quit their job because
it's actually cheaper for them to quit their job and
stay home to do the daycare than that try to
do daycare and work. Well, even if you are doing both,
you're budgeting your meals and you're eating so, you know,
it's just crazy. It's so much money. So I don't know,
we'll see how it works in New Mexico, but I
think that's awesome. I think that's something everybody would love
to have. That reduce the working age.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
You get hired. Also, your kid gets hired and you
can have them to the filing or whatever. You know,
you both make a paycheck. It's great. Yeah, cool, it's
not a big deal.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Just again again, there's always papers that need to be
stapled exactly.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Paper clip, yeah, put away in a drawer. That baby
can do it.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Y yeah baby, report get in here right now. I
want to hold the fat baby.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
That would be such a fun office right if you
just had fat baby going around, it's office attire was
just fa shirt. Have you seen the movie Boss Baby. Yes,
that's what I'm picturing baby, and it's actually like no,
that's what's trending.
