Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day with Nina's What's Trending.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
And today this first story is brought to you by Victoria.
Go ahead, Well, guys, in some crazy news going on here.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Simon Cowell, do you know this guy? I don't know
what happened off the air.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I had a really good story and Victoria was not
paying attention, and I was trying to tease it so
I could share it with everybody in the room.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
So yeah, so you guys would be.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Surprised aslong with everybody else, along with everybody else who's listening. Okay,
but Victoria decided to blow the load and tell the
story to Brad and everybody else because and then she said, this.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Is my whatit's trending now.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
So I was like, okay, so now it's time and
what's trending?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Tell the story. But it's we need some context.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's only because I was saying something and Nina actively
says it's a lot to I wasn't listening to you
because I found a story it was good for what's
trending because I'm working, But I said, I'm actively not
listening to you. But then the story that she said
she like brought it up and I was like, oh,
I've heard this before, like like this morning when I
look at my phone, and so just to be so,

(01:03):
what's the story.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Was the story? Oh I forgot that victorious is what's trending. Yeah,
it's that.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Simon Cowell apparently turned down I think one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars one hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
I think around that amount to he turned it down.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
He turned it down to watch people, to not watch
people have the.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
You're probably nervous that she's gonna take over this segment,
terrified I don't have it in front of me. But
he turned down a lot of money because he told
people know to watch them do them.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
You imagine if you're watching in between every third word,
like I think I had, this was.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Really going to go.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
If somebody offered you one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to be a judge while they were spending time together, intimately,
would you take it.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
To watch you do that stuff and judge them money?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
You would be watching them free, not because of like
any weird thing that I have with it.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
It would just be funny. I just like judging people Yeah,
well I.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Thought it'd be hilarious too. And Simon kll is the
ultimate judge and he's the one that turned down one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars after coming.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I mean, everybody's got their thing right, and once you're
in a relationship for a long time, you look for
different ways to spice it up. And if you're a
Simon a cal fan, you want to hear him tear
you apart. You need to that holds fast enough.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Maybe Randy Jackson will do it. Nah, that was a
little pitching for me at the end of it was
a real pitchy. Okay, now we got that story done.
Definitely wouldn't let paul A Duel do it. I've had
a lot of wine.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
She'd probably crawling. Who's an on American Idol now? As judges,
I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
I think Carrie Underwood is one of them. I think
you're anymore.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I think so it was Katy Perry that was and
now she's not.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Luke Bryan was a judge for a second. Okay, well,
while you look that up, there's a Lionel Richie, Luke Brian,
Carrie Underwood.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Oh, Lionel Richie would be cool just to have in
the room, no matter what is that one song?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh my gosh, oh.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Okay, if you can have anybody perform for you while
you're in that space with your partner, who do you
want to perform live?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh that's a good question, right man.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
There's so many options, so many options, But I feel
like Jubel would go with a throwback.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I probably would, but there's also some current I like
Anderson Palk so much that probably I would say, Anderson Park.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Would you play your own music? Yes?

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Absolutely, As a matter of fact, I should try that.
Just see what happened when you set the movie. Here's
a few of my songs.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
If you already, if you're already not following Jubole and
listening to his songs, you can find them.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, anywhere you get music, just type in my name.
That's an interesting thing. I wonder if people like Lionel
Richie and you know, those sexier singers that are normally
on those playlists do listen to their own music while
they do that.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I've heard someone ask Ni Jonas once if he listens
to his music while he's Oh really yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
I think he said no, But it's the only thing
you can say.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
But here's the thing about why music really, why know
Richie's music though, he needs to see what effect it
has on people. I had assume he would just sit
down on the couch, play his music and see if
it just happens, because if it just happens, that's a
good song.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah that's true. It's a market research. Yeah, okay, well.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
We'll see how that goes next time. Well, that's what's trending,
and victorious, what's trending.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Great job, Victoria. I think I have no idea what
you were talking about. I think I learned it for
