Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Nina's what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
If your partner intentionally posted a thirst trap, would you
feel like that was disrespectful or.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Would you be like, yeah, baby, go ahead get that.
I would say, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Why is that bad? I guess it depends on the
motivation behind it.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
But the first trap is to get people to tell
you that you're hot, right, so, or you're just like
showing like.

Speaker 5 (00:17):
It's also like it's kind of like just your confident
in what you look like or wearing, and.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
So you're like, I want to show it.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
I guess it depends on the person. If they were
doing it because of sheer confidence, I'd be like, good
for you. I'm glad you're confident. You should be. But
if they were doing it to fill some sort of
void that they needed, yeah I would. I don't know,
I would think differently about that.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
It was justin Bieber. Does that change anything?

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yeah? It does, Actually, it does, you know what, because
that's his kind of his job, right Like yeah, I
mean maybe he's a little different now than he used
to be, but you know, he's supposed to be sexy,
he's a singer and everything else like that, he's got
to be posting thirst traps from time to time.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Right, especially now that he's married, he's got to throw
off like a little bit of a.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Little sprinkle of remember I'm still hot.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah. His brand is sexy?

Speaker 5 (01:00):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Is that what we're calling his brand?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I don't know, is that his brand? I'm I don't
what would you call the Beabs' brand.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I think that there are people that believe that he's
a sexy singer. I think he likes to believe that
he's swaggy. Okay, I can see that more. I'm not
really sure, but people are kind of going back and
forth with this. So he and Haley are trending right
now because of a thirst trap, which actually really was
very innocent.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's a selfie of him with his shirt off.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
But he called it a thirst trap, okay, and he
called it he called it one. So he called it
a thirst trap for all you, and then Haley was
like rolling eyes emoji underneath it.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
So he's like, he's so disrespectful. I don't know. I'm
just curious how you would feel if somebody did that.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
I don't think she did that as like she was
actually annoyed, though.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
I like this coup will get.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
So much crap in the media, and it's like, let
them live their lives people.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I feel that way too, cares and I actually really
don't hate thirst trap because you, like, you know, good
for you. Yeah, as long as you're not cheating and
like trying to you know.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Do all that.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
So but also Justin Bieber has posted like not a
lot and then has his mom's post been a little
iffy sometimes Like this sounds like a really good picture
from post hand.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
It sounds pretty pretty tame for most of the things
that people have been saying about him. Yeah, yeah, he
can't do anything without people questioning what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah he is. Hey, me and the bees a lot
in common. It's cool. My god.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
It is your brand sexy singer too.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Definitely, yes, it is absolutely undred percent.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Justin Bieber is really.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, exactly me and the beads Man. Our brand is
sexy singer.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
We're going to ride those coattails all the way through Victoria.
If you don't identify as a sexy singer, maybe you
identify as a hotophile.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Would you consider yourself a hotophile?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm gonna need more what is that?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well, I'm about to tell you hotophiles are trending because
we just realized what it means. It means one who
loves to travel in ancient Greek.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh then yeah, absolutely right.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Wait what do you mean by ancient like you want
to travel back in time to ancient.

as photophiles.

that's it. That's the definitely like the ancient Greeks. Ancient
Greeks called people that like to travel hotophiles an ancient
Greek word, so.
