Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day. Brought to you by
Muckleshubingo in Auburn, your home from Machino. It's time for
Nina's what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Well once what was old is new again? And jen
Z is obsessed with landlines. I'm talking about phone landlines.
And they've found a way to Jimmy rigg their cell
phones into being landlines. And I'll tell you, would you
do that?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Because we want to be We love two thousands girly
who can just like twirl the landline with our fingers.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
They don't have to know what it is, twirling the thing.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yes, they look at a twil right now and we're
gospling on our phone.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
So satisfying on the movies and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yes, I just want to be a girl from two
thousands twirling her hand.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
That's not why.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But that's cute too, I'll tell you in just a second.
But first, this is wild. But there was a study
that was done to talk about the most inauthentic destinations
in the world. We're talking about the fakest cities and
the number one city in the world that is the
fakest city is of course here.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
In the US.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Actually US city is four of them top to the
top ten list, and do you guys know what it is?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Los Angeles is probably number one.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's actually pretty good. Yeah, La, No, it's not even
on the list at all. It's Chicago. Oh interesting, I know.
I want to guess Chicago is the opposite of that, right,
me too. But apparently they were doing this based off
of how people were, like, oh, were we treated like locals?
What's traditional? Is it a tourist trap? Is it overpriced?
Vegas is on there, So it's Nashville and Boston, Massachusetts.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Every place is a tourist trap.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And every place you go to that you're not locally
from there, you're not going to be a local.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It's a good point, Victoria. Yes, yeah, good math. Math
checks out.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I don't know, but I went to this place I've
never been before and it sucked because I felt like
I'd never been there before.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Okay, give me like a local, Like rude, you go
to those places?
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Apparently you're not authentic.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I saw this video on TikTok the other day of
this woman who was at the Amalfi Coast in Italy,
which is beautiful looking. It's beautiful looking, but according to her,
it's terrible and you shouldn't go there. Why to get there,
I had to take a plane because she's from America.
I had to take a plane. Then I had to
take a train, and then there's nearly no cars, so
(02:15):
we had to take a bus and I had to
walk upstairs and there. What they don't tell you is
there's like no cars around, so I can't catch an uber.
I have to walk places in the Malfi Coast, you
had so basically you had to travel there. You had
to travel there and walk up a few stairs.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
It was ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
It's kind of true, though, you had to walk up
a lot of.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
So terrible. Then don't go to the Malthy. I mean, it's.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Beautiful, Just planned to sweat the higher time.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
You want that experience? To go to the Kroger down
the street, I had to walk. I can't door do
ash myself anything here. Yeah, I forget about it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You're a Starbucks, which they probably do have in a
Starbucks there?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Why would you even want that?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
They have like Italian espresso anyway, which actually would go
really good with the crumble cookie.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
But did you hear this.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Crumble Cookies are trying to dominate the sweets game. Crumble
Cookies are now going into the donut testing world where
they want to bring the best crumbled donuts. So now
they're going to have cookies and donuts and everybody's going
to say.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
A crumble cookie. Wait, I don't know much about sweets,
that's true.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It's like a it's a cookie company and they have
all different types of cookies and then like they'll even
have like specialty cookies.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Actually cookies are crumbs. No, yes, their cookies are frosting.
They're amazing. They're amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
They're like a little taste of heaven every time you
take a bite, like they're full of every part of
it is a party in your mouth. So now they
want to do that with donuts too. So now we're
supposed to say no to donuts.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Companies making doughnuts, Yeah, crumble cookie companies making oh okay,
making America fatter.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Well, there's people that are upset because they think crumble
Cookies should just stay in their lane and do cookies
instead of do cookies.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And funny how people get so when anybody does anything
that's outside of what they know them for right, right,
Like I get it all the time with other things
that I do, others in radio, right, people are like,
just stick to radio, bro.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
You're not supposed to expand any I didn't realize it
even comes with cookie companies.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
These idiots are trying to do donuts now tack to
cookies you Moronyay.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
All I'm gonna say is when it comes to food,
when you start branching out, things start tasting a little worse.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Like sometimes you think they're going to like not pay
enough attention to their cookies.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Like it's it.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
It's like when you go to a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
And it's like a restaurant that has like fifty things
on the menu versus like ten things that they perfected.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
That's like the difference.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well, don't you hire people to be experts in the donuts,
then you have an expert cookie person. I don't know,
I'm kind of into it. I don't really like donuts,
but I love crumple cookies. You're getting at beef turkey, Yeah,
that's where they go off. And lastly, everybody's obsessed with landlines.
They're making it a whole thing, and basically what's happening
is people don't want to be on their phones. They
don't want to be on their phones so much that
(05:01):
they're taking strings or finding ways to hang up their
cell phone in their home so that anytime they want
to use it, check it, talk on it, they have
to go back to home base where they have their
phone hung up to check in with it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I really have a problem setting their phone down, huh really?
I mean, I know, I hear these stories all the time,
but it just trips me out, like they're trying every
kind of hack in order instead of the the number
one hack of just being like I'm setting my phone
down and I'm going to have a little bit of
self discipline to not pick that bad boy up for
an hour putting it silence. Yep, I'm not going to
check it for an hour. And you can't feed in
(05:36):
like a crack fiend.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, there's a wull liss telling people to put it
down and then go outside, and nobody wants to.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Do that away from it from the device.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
So whatever you want to do, that's an option.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Man. Sometimes I feel bad because I don't check my
phone enough, right, Like I set my phone down for
the whole day. Sometimes I don't even look at it
and I don't think about it, like I'm not like, ooh,
I got to check my phone, but I feel bad
about that. Sometimes I'm like, man, I don't get back
people in time, like is there something I'm missing or whatever.
But when I hear these stories, I'm like, I'm you're good. Yeah,
you're trying to figure out how to do what I'm
doing exactly, so I'll just.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You are the sendmaster. I guess when the phones.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
That is what's strending
