Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Nina's what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So Taylor swift fans, like true true Swifties, have a
problem with Taylor right now. And I actually think this
is a bigger conversation that I want to have and
we'll talk about it in just a second. But first,
please know that if you are a bird watcher, you
enjoy knitting, canning, jam, all of those things. You are
trending because it's called a grandma hobby and everybody is

(00:21):
jumping on boards. Grandma hobby because you just can't do
anything without having it categorized to something.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Right.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Grandma hobbies and grandma core is what everything is all
about this holiday season. So so away, make your candles,
play majong, it's all in is funns Actually, Majong is
so fun.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I have a game on my phone. It's fun. I'll
show you it's fun. You'd like it. Victoria wants to
make a bird house.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I do. I want to make one so bad. I
don't want to paint it.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, that's a grandma hobby.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I just never do.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
I've been wanting to make a birdhouse like the last
ten years. Okay, they have like still have minutes, so
like you don't have to like cut. What's the point
of using.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
A kit well, you want to actually like saw the wood.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
I want to like do the dimensions and like make
a freaking birdhouse.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
But I gotta where to put it, so I gotta
put out one of yours houses.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
You want to be like an architect and like, yeah,
sign the whole birdhouse and like.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Make a birdhouse and then put like a little bowl
in there for some food.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I like at my house, so you can do it
at Jubiles.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
What do you mean the birds will like my birdhouse.
I'm gonna make it comfy, cozy.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I used to want to put it outside my window
that way, like my cat has someone to hang out
with or eat it.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Hey she's nice. She's also too slow. But I really
want to make a birdhouse.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Do it.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's a grandma hobby. It's highly encouraged.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
All that time.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Apple has decided to rebrand it's streaming service, so Apple
TV Plus is now just Apple TV.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Why do they have the plus in the first place.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I don't only call it out. I never called it
Apple TV Plus ever.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I thought that was going to be part of the
lot bo I didn't know that it was like actually
referred to as Apple TV plus.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well but yeah, so it's not anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Yeah, so they're not really branding. There's like, hey, our
brand didn't work. Yeah, everybody's branded it. They's just Apple
TV probably just dropped it.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
They said Apple TV is their vibrant new identity.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
What the vibrant new identity? Homie, y'all just jumped on
our back bandwagon.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I mean, it's all right, do you boo?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's like when somebody walks in with the fresh haircut,
you know you're a new person. Changed one thing. So okay,
here's the conversation about Taylor Swift. So, as she was
gearing up for the life of a show girl, she
was sending out CDs and things to certain swifties that
I guess were part of some kind of club. But
on these CDs it was signed by her and by

(02:37):
Travis Kelce.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Why Travis Kelse exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
So a bunch of her fans and some of the
other people have started to talk to each other and
realize that they feel disappointed in Taylor because they feel
like just because her romantic partner, like now that she's engaged,
that doesn't mean that they have to like him. And
also they are kind of looking at her like, why
are you letting him take credit?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's kind of something that you built.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah, I like if I wanted that somebody's autograph and
then they sent me an autograph of them and their
significant other, that would be kind of strange.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
But but this is this is why I was saying,
it's a bigger question once you become a wei and
you're sending cards or birthday cards and all of that stuff,
even if you're not the person that bought the card
and you're signing it it's from you, you bought it,
like jubil It'd be like if I gave you a
gift that signed for me and my boyfriend, Like.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Doesn't that feel weird? It does?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, I don't have a boyfriend, just to be clear,
So unless you know them, like unless.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
You're friends with both people, right, But if you're just
ordering Taylor Swift's album and it came with Travis Kelsey's signatrony,
that would be strange.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, it is weird, but a pardon me, feels like
I don't know. She shares a lot of her life
with her fans.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
This is like another part of her life and the
whole album is basically her fall in love with him,
in love with him, so a pardon me, feels like
she wants to share him with like fans.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Also, which could be fine.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I just think that there's a way to introduce him
in a way that's not just automatically assuming that we're
in us.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
He's a part of everything that I do.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Not everything, but this album specifically was mostly about him,
So I don't know, Like I do think it's word
that he's on, like he signed it, like it's not yours.
You didn't make the album, but the album is about him,
and she loves him so much, like they're getting married, Like,
well you was to share.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
But that's what I mean. So this isn't even just
about Taylor. Like I'm not just hating on Taylor. I'm
just curious about like how we feel about the individual
and a wei and when the proper time is to
be a wei or if that's just something that you
accept the second that you get engaged or becoming a
unit like that you know.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Well, I don't know if it's like if I had
a Christmas card, but it's like me and my boyfriend,
I don't have one either. By the way so single,
but like we would both sign it if we're sending.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
It to you guys, like we're both in it.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
I think you have to be careful making your stuff
completely involved with somebody else. I know from personal experiencedency,
I've done that a lot. In my last part, you know,
it's like, all of a sudden, Now, if she's not careful,
it's Tylah Swift. So she's a genius at branding and
all of this. But if she's not careful, all of
a sudden, nobody cares about Taylor Swift anymore.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
It's just Taylor Swift and Travis.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
And maybe she starts talking about Travis more than she
does her own stuff, and then before you know it,
she's made herself smaller than Travis. Yeah, you know, that's
how codependency works.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
And that is the part that I think is starting
to draw flags. So I don't know something to think about.
That is what's trending.
