Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day. With NINAS, what's trending wellness?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Everything is trending, but this specific thing is called ear seating.
Ear Seating is a new practice from traditional Chinese medicine
that helps your mental health. It helps reduce pain, It
can even help with your allergies. So I wrought this
up because there are two people in this room that
have been suffering great uria and me, Yeah, that's rough
with their allergies. So ear seating is when you put

(00:26):
a little accessory on your ear. They like almost tape
it there. It's like a little not a jewel, but
it kind of looks like a little like a bead.
And so because it's there, the actual thing is called
aurcular therapy. They actually don't ask me to say that.
It's really hard, but it's something that they've been practicing
in Chinese medicine for a while. So ear seating is

(00:47):
now trending though, and it's making its moves all around
because it's a cute little gadget that can help a
digestion and it can help with all of the things.
So if a miracle accessory can help save your life, Like,
why not even back?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
So you gotta put an earring on your points on
your ear?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Oh yeah, so it is kind of like what do
you call it? Thank you? Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Pressure?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yes, your ear is not that like there are a
lot of points on your ear. Actually, there's stuff that
you can push on your ear that helps with your metabolism.
Also the way that you massage it. So I don't know,
I'm not superversed in this, but it sounds really interesting
and you've got nothing to lose by just putting a
little ceramic bead with an eesef on your ear. That's
cute and makes you feel good. I'll save your ear now.

(01:30):
The type of friend. We all have different types of friends,
but the air and friend is having its moment. You
know that one friend that you don't have to like
do anything with other than like go to Target or
get coffee, Like you don't have to get drinks. You
know some friends or just your party friends. Yeah, and
then you have some friends that you can actually go
on errands with and it's fun and it doesn't feel
like a chore. That type of friend is having its moment.
If you are that friend, it is your time you

(01:53):
stand up and say I am that air and friend.
You want to go get groceries, I'll come with you
to get that apple, and then you are the best friend.
That's what people want right now. They want people they
can genuinely enjoy their company while doing things they don't
want to do. You should always have enfolding lawn friends
like that. You should, I know, right, it seems like
it's kind of common sense, But I don't feel like
I've always had those kind of friends really, because my

(02:14):
friends always wanted to turn up. Now finally, way, if
they're like your real friends, they'll want to like turn up,
but also they'll want to do other stuff with you.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
No, they'll say that's boring. Yeah, I guess I'm not
that friend. Someone's like, hey, I'm going to you want
to come over while I fold laundry and be like
just call me after the laundry. There's no one you
want to go come over after you're done with that
and chores right now, I don't want to sit here
awkwardly while you do your chores. Well, you watch meks
why they do their chores, but like you're like hanging
out with them.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's kind of also age because I feel that way too,
do I don't really want to be there for that.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Tell me after you're not busy.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
The point is just sit with them, like you want
to come over while I get a shower and do
my hair and then we no, just tell me when
you're done, I'm saying out with them, I'll sit down.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
I have laundry I need to fold. I guess I
could do that while you're doing yours over here.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I mean, you can just talk. You can call and
put it on on the phone. And what we've learned
here it's Victoria is the air. And as friend or
that friend, you're the friend. Man, this is your moment.
I got your for everything. That's what's trending.
