Episode Transcript
It's time for Nina's what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
So there's an update on the Coldplay affair couple. Remember
those two the astronomers Ceo and Kristen who.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Was working there closely with him.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Anyway, a source close to both of them is now
coming out and saying, if you believe that you saw
a couple having an affair on that JumboTron, shame on
you because because according to the source, they're just friends.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
What what. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I often hold my friends that same way us I
slink off into the back and look all embarrassed.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That is, so, I'm sorry. That's dumb to say.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
This are out of like the story coming out, like
you're trying to be relevant at this point.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
After the fact.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, and this source isn't like it is not using
their name or anything, so it's not like you're trying
to get fame, or maybe they are, or maybe these
people are really good doing some pr spin to try
to save themselves.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
This a little gas lightly to me.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
It seems it's too hard after the fact to do
like to do a like if you wanted to do it,
you should do it right after it came out.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, it's probably just because you don't remember how the
video actually was because it was so long ago. But
if you remember, they were just standing next to each other.
But they're super gas like, yeah, that's what they would
do because.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Their whole thing is they're still experiencing the downfall from that.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So we're all over it. It's a new news cycle.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
But they don't have jobs, they've lost their families, all
of these things.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So they're like, it's just unfair. I mean, that does suck?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Does it does?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I mean, however, they are at their job, I think
should be separate. Right, they're cheating, okay, but that doesn't
if it doesn't affect their job. In that instance, it
was with a coworker, so that could affect their job,
but in getting a new job, Like all right, so
I know that you've cheated on your spouse before, but
are you gonna cheat on the company?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Like, are you you can do a good job as
the CEO of this company? Like if you do that,
it's not illegal to cheat, it's definitely immoral or whatever,
And a lot of those.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Types of companies have like like morality clauses. I got,
but you're right as far as hiring them again, Yeah, damn.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I always wanted to think of the fact that it's like,
why are you spending so much money on like a
Coldplay concert, like take like your side girlfriend, whatever you
want to call it.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
But then it's like, dang, you really took a current
seat of your wife. Also, that's going to really hurt,
Like that's going.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
To dig in and you spend money on that.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Well, people that knew them were around them too, just
being liked, I know, and all the people that are
around them were also acting awkward.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
That's what happens when friends get caught on GAMRA.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yikes. It's not funny, but also kind of funny because
that's not what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
If I had a company, I would definitely hire one
of them. Yeah, that's a great press. That's we're talking
about your brand. That's true.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
No one knew of the other company even existed before
this happened, exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah. I still don't really understand what they do, but
I don't either. We'll figure it out eventually. Meanwhile, speaking
of relationships, I don't think that this is just going
to be for dating relationships. I think it's all in general. However,
they're calling it a new dating term. And it's called
dry bagging. So dry bagging is a manipulation tactic where
if you are with somebody, and it's also ways to
(03:02):
post on social media. So again, I don't think it's
just while you're dating. But it's like if you're taking
out the trash and you're like, well, this is cool.
I wish somebody else would take out the trash, or
oh I could really use some money, but whatever, I
just will skip out on eating out tonight.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
There were types of things.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, yeah, but it's called dry begging. So I guess
it's like you're begging for attention by being aggressive, yeah,
someone you're dating, specifically with somebody you're dating, but I
think it I think it goes across the board.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, that's like just so annoying.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Though, if someone said that around me, like oh, someone else.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Would take out the trash, I'd be like just say,
what's weird? Me too.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm gonna go it's weird because I made a wish
that someone would just a few minutes ago, and now
here you are with the trash. Sorry about that, but
also cool. Yeah, that's what's trending.
