Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All it takes is for for what I don't.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Know what happened right thereis redo that all it takes
is three minutes for you to get everything you need
to know for the day with Nina's what's trending brought
to you by Muscles shot being going auburn your home
from MACHINEO. Yeah. Yeah, I only say that every day
when we're doing trending and I could not remember what
it was for whatever reason.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Where am I?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Okay, you just try to get yourself together and I'll
tell you how to take care of yourself. There's a
scam that we all need to be watching out for. Shocking,
I know, but this time it's actually really real, Like
it feels really real, like they're getting so advanced and
how they scam us. And this one's a traveler specific scam.
So if you're going to be in the airports or
if you have a flight booked, you're going to want
to hear how to protect yourself in just a second,

(00:47):
but first let's talk about how Netflix is just dominating
the world right now. They really are, And I'm gonna explained,
well I'm not trying to tease you here, but I
feel like they are. So star Search is getting a reboot,
so we've got another show now in the talent competition circuit.
Star Search was kind of the og. Wasn't star Search
the first one? Or was it? I think it was.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I I would think so was like first like singing
competition show.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, but I think it was any kind of competition
because I feel like there were comedians on there as well.
It was like America Scott Talent, so it was everybody.
So Star Search was kind of the O G one
and then everything else came later. But now star Search
is doing a reboot of that, and I'm sorry, Netflix
is doing a reboot of that and that premieres later
this month. But Sarah, Michelle Galler, Chrissy Teagan, and Jelly

(01:33):
Roll are going to be the judges on That's uncanceled.
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
So she was canceled for like quite a while. Yeah,
that makes her less canceled.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
That's cool. She got off the bench. Yeah, man's just
back in the game. So that proves there's a redemption
story somewhere. Baseball team can't pitch for a while. Mean
to somebody. She was very mean to somebody though she's
herself in a hot sea because she's going to be
a judge. She's going to be mean to people all
the time, going to be the Simon cow or she'll

(02:10):
just be really nice to go the opposite way to stay.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know, whatever Christy taking does, do not hop into
their d ms and start judging them. There that works
out for.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
You, you get.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
So she got canceled. Oh serious, she was bullying somebody.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
She was also drinking, so she blamed it on the
fact that she was getting drunk and like, you can't
blame that tou fun alcohol like that, Like, come on,
that's on you.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
You're married to John Legend. He's so sweet, Like, I
just use this love and happiness. How are you bullying people?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's why she gets annoyed by all the sweet It's
like I get she's getting her redo moment and other
Netflix news, they did just acquire the whole w W
E library, so they are now they're in the Home
of Wrestling because their deal expired with Peacocks. That's what
I'm saying. I've completely taken over. If they've broken records
with Stranger Things, They've got the HBO deal. Now they've

(03:01):
got Star Search and Chrissy Teagan, So I mean it's
over for the rest an NFL. Yeah, oh yeah, an
NFL too, So that's exciting. Dang, did you buy AI
slop over the holidays? And if you're looking for some
AI slop, looks like Goodwill's the place to go. People
are claiming that AI slop is ending up all over
thrift stores because if you bought something online, the chances

(03:23):
are the ad was made by AI and then it
didn't look how you thought it was going to look,
and so people are returning them to thrift stores. Oh really,
and it's called AI slap, So maybe you started a collection.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I feel like half that's also just TikTok slop or
not slop, but like TikTok, probably half things to buy
there don't really come probably, But this is not what
it seems. There's a new scammeler, especially for travelers, and
that is that they're getting text messages saying that if
you don't like confirm your reservations, that you're going to
have your flight completely canceled. But it looks super legit.

(03:56):
It says that you have twenty four hours and there's
like this whole click through thing. The way that the
text is. However, they ended up hacking into it. It
looks like it's truly from like the airline, but it's
not real. But it's not real. So this is the scam.
So now, if you're getting text messages about your flights,
just don't respond, don't click anything.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
If I get a text message from any business like
or something like that, I always don't go from the text.
I'll go straight to the app or the website, yeah,
to try to do whatever it is and see if
it's there, just because of that, because I don't ever,
I don't trust. I mean, I don't even trust their
own websites, right.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I know, to call somebody, but are you real? But
stream us online?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yes, that a fair place and you will never get scammed, scam.
You will never get scammed if you stream the Jubile Show. Yeah,
just use the iHeartRadio app or go to the jubilshow
dot com and you can stream us wherever you're at.
And shout out to all the people who've been texting
in at four one oh six y one. Apparently me
being obnoxious about people streaming the show because I've been
talking about it NonStop, because I.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Really want you to do it. Oh me happy inside,
and it'll protect you from getting scammed.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yes, And I want you to be safe out there,
And the only way to be protected against all things
stream the jewel shop. They're going to start, like I've heard,
I've read articles many medical journals on how physicians are
going to start recommending that and prescribing that for a
lot of things.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, it's all the waves that pop out. It creates
a shield that you're just protective. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
So it's really the only way to be safe is
to stream the Jubil Show. Go to the iHeartRadio app
or the Jubeilshow dot com and listen to us on
your device, whatever device it is, even if it's a pacemaker.
I don't know if we can stream over the one
day one day, one day reading in a medical journal
the other day.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh my gosh, you can listen to music with lollipops.
Now we have.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
What we were talking about again.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
We're done. We're done. What's the lollipop thing? Real quick? Okay,
So you know that big convention that has all of
the this is what ADHD is like. You don't have it.
This is it.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I think everybody feels like they have an out, even
the people that are streaming the show.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
You know that big convention that has all the gadget
drops for the year. They've got climbing vacuum cleaners that
actually climb up your stairs. And then there's lollipops that
now you bite into and when you bite into it,
you're gonna be able to hear music. It's like a toothbrush,
like a literally like it in your mouth. It makes
a song. Yeah, but it's candy. Wow, WHOA, I know,
the future is wild. I think I experienced that at

(06:28):
Raves in the late nineties, that
