Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is time for Nina's what's trending?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Do you identify as a hobosexual? Are you living with
a hobosexual and you don't even know it?

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
What, hobosexuals are trending up? They've increased fifty percent in
the last decade and rising.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Does that mean?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
A hobosexual is somebody that dates somebody just so they
have somewhere to live. So basically, you date someone then
you're like, cool, I'm just gonna move in, I'm gonna stay.
Or you date them and you don't really like them,
but they've got a great place and you need somewhere
to live and you just, you know.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Make it work.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
That sucks.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I know, I don't know what that says, Like what's
more important? I guess not really. I guess having a
roof over your head.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
I mean that is very important.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
And if you're dating somebody who is being a homosexual,
are you also homosexual? Do you like it? Like? Is
that what you're looking for?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Or maybe because you feel needed, maybe you want to
be needed ooh with that.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Kind of like the energy where it's like I can
fix them or like fix me with that.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Or maybe they just don't know that it's a hobosexual,
because maybe a hobosexual is like a narcissist.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Also, isn't hobo a derogatory term?

Speaker 4 (01:02):
It is?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah? I think so. I don't think homeless people like
to be called hobos, but I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Okay, well, these aren't actually homeless people. I don't. I
don't have.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
The term itself. I don't think they dig, you know.
But also, who cares? They're bro I'm sorry, I live
in America.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
It happens well in America. Hobo's actuals are trending.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
By the way. I was joking when I said that
if you couldn't pick up on the sarcasm, thank you,
I have to spell it out because as people don't
pick up on it. And next thing, you know, the
principal's office.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Oh, we did a.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Funny bit about America last week, and people were telling
us that America is not a country, it's a continent.
In the comments, I'm at war in the comments.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, they're saying it's not a country, like.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
America is not a country, it's a continent. I'm like,
point on the map to America, the continent, point on it,
point at it. Please, America is the Yeah, and South.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
America is a content.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Sure, I'll give you that, but we've called this country
the United States of America colloquially America for two hundred
and fifty years. Get your semantics and get out of here.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
That was Brad's exact response. Oh my gosh, looking that
up on like a weekend morning, being like.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Is Brad fighting? They responded, writings respond to them?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
But what was there reasoning for saying America is not
a country?

Speaker 4 (02:28):
No reasoning.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Everyone wants to take a shot, right right, Everyone wants
to take a shot, like the shot we were taking
out our own country wasn't enough right from Canada, because
that's not a country.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Actually, someone from Canada comments.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
We were like, I don't know, we're pretty bad up
here too.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
They didn't say America.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, I'm never worried about if any Canadians. Canadians are
dope man like they laugh at whatever. Yeah, you know
they know they're Canada. Heck, I wonder if young to.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Pay eighty dollars for a popcorn bucket in Canada, like
you have to hear in America eighty dollars. So you know,
over the past, I don't know, you're in some change.
These popcorn buckets have really been trending every time there's
a big movie release. Well, now they're getting a little
bit out of hand because eighty dollars sounds ridiculous. It
is ridiculous for the Fantastic four movie. Bro, get ready

(03:19):
to pony on up. Yeah, eighty dollars for your collector's
galacticus galactus.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
I don't even know how you say that word.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Bucket that comes into seventeen inch tall space that has
faux metal skin and led lighting for eyes.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Okay, first off, the LED's kind of dope. Second, who's
selling it? Cinemark amc amc Bro, Come.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
On, eighty bucks is way too much.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
It's a movie. We want to experience the great movie
on the screen. But I don't want to pay eight
dollars for popcorn. I want the popcorn. I'm gonna buy
the popcorn. I'm not been eighty dollars for the popcorn.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
You don't have to buy the bucket, the nice bucket.
Oh you can get a regular bucket. Yeah, you'll be lame.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Just if you buy the nice bucket.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
You deserve it.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
She says all this, and she's gonna walk in here
with her galactus bucket and led like lights.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Lights are kind of cool, but like for eighty dollars,
they're not.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Gonna gok batteries, so you better take batteries with the
movie theaters.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
If they're really smart, they would do it upside down
so that when you were done with the popcorn, you
could use it as a helmet.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh why couldn't you. Nobody said you can't be upside down?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Well, just turn it the light.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, that is a good idea, thank you. I should
actually make the being a helmet first, so you put
the helmet on and then you just reach up and
grab popcorn out of the top of something pants free
popcorn hat.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, or have a little thing inside the bucket. You
just have to like open your mouth and it drops
popcorn into your mouth.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Oh, helmet like a little like a straw that you
can suck popcorn.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
I don't know. I feel like we can't be mad.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Let's have these ideas, make these things and we can
charge eighty dollars for buckets that you just get fifty minimum.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
That definitely needs to be a thing.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
That's what's trending, all.
