Speaker 1 (00:00):
Brought to you by a Monthless. You'd beingo in Auburn
your home from Machino. It's time for Nina's what's trending?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Do you have smart glasses? Do you know somebody that
has smart glasses?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I do, everybody in the studio.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Just how do you feel about the person that you
know that has smart glasses?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I think I like them, like them.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I have to admit this last time.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You can wait they have smart glasses so you can
get a video of it. Yeah, I think they're great.
I think the person that wears them is great.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
I feel like it's intrusive, honestly, like when we came
over to your house the first time you invited us
over and I came in and he had them on,
it was like.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Okay, the show's on, time to perform intrusive.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well, people have a lot of strong feelings, of course
they do about people that have smart glasses, and they're
going out of their way to make sure to avoid them.
And I'll tell you how they're avoiding the people in
the smart glasses in just a second. But first, this
next tournam to tell you about is kind of terrifying
and it has its own little corner of the Internet
and it's growing, so I want to talk about it
so we can stop the growth.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
WHOA, So that sounds.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Called the looks maxing trend. That part isn't actually really
that new. Looks maxing is exactly what it sounds like,
doing whatever you can to make yourself look and feel
a little bit more physically appealing. Max to the max
your max in it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I've obviously beting this for decades.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And the interesting part about looks maxing is that, well,
men are the ones that are jumping on this particular
looks maxing trend more than anybody else, and it has
a lot to do with your jaw and the shape.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Of your jobs.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So now this corner of the internet is encouraging people
to do bone smashing, I'm sorry, what to fix their
faces to make them look more attractive. Exactly what it
sounds like, and we need to stop this corner of
the internet. And it's telling people to pick up a
hammer and smack their faces with it so they can
(01:53):
change the way that their jaw grows back.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I want to try it. It just sounds fun to me,
actually breaking the bones in their jaw.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Says when you break, when you break a bone, it
grows back stronger, which I give you the stronger jaw
line that most some.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Then, yeah, that's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Hope to achieve. Like mewing is the other way to
do it, and that's not as they also make things
that you can chew on to strengthen and build your jaw.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You could just chew on those, right, I have a
couple really, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I mean I eat a lot. Doesn't that count?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Actually? Yeah? Chewing?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Why I didn't get mine to make my job bigger?
I have TMJ. And then also I drink a lot
of smoothies and I don't chew a lot of food,
So I need to work my job a little bit.
So pop one of those bad boys in and chew
on it for a while.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
A little bit that I don't know. It doesn't work
the same, but that's that's better than picking up a hammer.
I'm going to ignore it. He said it, and he
looked direct. So now I think we have antar complaint
on our hands. I started looking at you first, Jeuble.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Then I looked at I didn't given play from Jeubile,
So then I went to Victoria.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Wherever you're listening, I hope this made you not want
to pick up a hammer and break your jaw because
you can just do the chewy thing like Jubil does
or face exercises that works to face yoga, dude.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
You should create your own Jewey's chewbel jewels, jewish. I
like that reason I want a new jaw. Okay, don't
use a hammer. Maybe I don't want to get my
jaw reset. Why because it's a long story, but my
teeth don't line up, and so it bugs me sometimes
(03:53):
because I can feel that my jaw is like uneven.
So I want to get my jaw reset. But like
I've gone to the you know, the surgeons and stuff
like that to like the dental type surgeons you know,
whatever they're called, or all surgeon dentists you know, and
there's actually nothing to worry about. But I'm like, yeah,
but it bugs me, like I can feel it, you know.
So Like but if I just smashed myself with a
(04:13):
hammer in the face, at some point, they're gonna have
no choice but to reset my job.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Isn't it easier to fix your teeth than it is
to break your job?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And also your teeth are supposed to being misaligned a
little bit. That's how you're over. Everybody's supposed to have
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Of when I was a kid, because my teeth never
fell out. They all had to be pulled out. But
I have one dentist who did. Like every single time
I go to the dentist, they're like, who decided to
pull out more teeth on one side than the other.
And I'm like, I don't know. They're like, do you
know why they did that? And I was like, I
have no idea. They're like, they didn't need to do that.
So so, because your teeth shouldn't they they should fit
(04:48):
in the grooves. So like when you chew and stuff
like that, or when you're just restling, it lines up,
so do your teeth will fit in the grooves?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
If they don't fit in the grooves, you end up
like gnawing your teeth and stuff like that. It's very uncomfortable.
And so like, because my teeth don't fit in the
grooves because they're not, there's like not enough teeth on
one side in the back. Because of that, my jaw
is like off, not online in line, and there's no
way they can do it.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, is it good?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sore?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh? Yeah? Sometimes? Yeah, yeah, but but if I take
a hammer and just bash it a bit. So, Hey,
I'm an oral surgeonist have no tea like you probably
gonna knock your teeth that while you're out. I'm tired
of them anyway.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Just tell people these oral surgeon like that. He can't
grow around bragging about it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Denters would be dope, man. You know people don't want denters.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I would be.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I would love it. Their pick teeth, Yeah, take them
in and out at night. You know they're nice. You
don't have to worry about it too.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
That night you can throw your gums. Yeah, yeah, you
got another line for that. You don't have a line
for that one.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I didn't hear it.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Sorry, Sorry I was laughing. I was still laughing at Victoria.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I'm gonna keep going. So if you if you find
yourself on a dating app in Italy, the dating app
Raya or Riya, however you pronounce it, and you see
Harry Styles, you're not hallucinating. He is actually on the
dating app, which is really cute.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So he's closer to access than you thought.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Their subscriptions just went through the roof.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I don't know. He says he's on it because he
wants to practice his Italian. But this is an opportunity
for anybody in Italy or going to Italy to find him,
and not a creepy way there.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
To practice your Italian. Doesn't help you.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Get and talk to them. I'm not mad at it.
I will be in Italy this summer. And lastly, if
you have smart glasses, people are trying to avoid you,
It's true. And the reason for that is is because
they feel like kind of like what you were saying earlier,
Freeze is that it's invasive, But it's not just that.
(06:52):
It's that there are actual like apps and stuff and
to use when they see somebody, like they can quick
profile you, so like there's a way to go through
all of it, get your name, facial recognition, no creepy
things about you, and like your social media before even
saying hello to you.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
People were saying that Ice was doing that. Yeah, in Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I had seen some reports that they were wearing those
glasses and then people were worried that they were being identified.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm not using my metaglasses appropriately. I just put them
on so I can like miss not miss text messages,
things like that, you know, and from a video.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Everybody has a different but there's a new app called
Nearby Glasses that allows people that don't have these glasses
to know when somebody that does is around them so
they can run away.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So you know, you means you have to be staring
at your phone all the time. If you had the glasses,
then it could just tell you who has glasses around.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You, make your phone can vibrate, it can make some
noise and give you some type of warnings.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So they should have the glasses too.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And you're really making the case you can get those glasses, Chris.
They're all your smart classes to.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Warn you have other smart glasses there around.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I like it. Yeah, oh that's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah, someday the real rabbit. Were we the ones not
wearing glasses?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah,
