Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Brought to you by Muckle Shuffingo in Auburn. You're home
for Machino. It's time for Nina's. What's trending well?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
On celebration of World Emoji Day, there are nine new
emojis that are about to drop, and I know you
are going to be so happy about one of them specifically,
and I'll tell you what it is coming up in
just a second. But first, oh my gosh, have you
heard about Jimmithy? So the New York Post runs this headline, right,
and it says mutant creature named Jimothy stock Seattle and

(00:26):
becomes local celebrity.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Thought about Timothy Telman.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
No, jim Athee is the name of this like it's
like a little it's like a little mutant raccoon. I
don't like to call him a mutant because apparently he's
got short spine syndrome so that you have to look
it up. So it's a rat. He's a raccoon, but he.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Looks like not of this world.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
And he's been like scattering around in people's yards all
over the city. And so people are now following this
journey of Jimmithy. And so you'll see people outside being
like Oh, there he is. He decided to bless us
with his presence on our anniversary. Like, so maybe Jimothy
is now like this this lucky charm if you actually
get to spot him in the wild. Are you looking

(01:09):
at him right now? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
But there's like it's him and there's a musician well,
also named Jimothy.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
So when you look him up, you have to type
raccoon after it.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well yeah, so obviously I hope you get that because
I said raccoon with a short spine syndrome.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I know the guy named Jimothy's a musician.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I didn't know there was a Jimithy musician either, So
please distinguish between the two and know that Jimmithy.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Is the only picture there is of him.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, there are videos all over social media Jimothy is
popping off in the Seattle area. I mean I can
just see people driving from all over to try to
have a Jimothy spotting. Oh dear, pop a gummy and
be like, well, wait for.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
You, Jimothy. God, I would love to see me so cute.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's just like one of those things.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's so ugly, it's cute, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, a lot of pictures of just regular raccoons coming
out and they are really cute.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Okay, no, it's the one with the short spine syndrome.
You'll know it when you see it, because you're gonna go,
what the is that? So anyway, please look up Jimothy
and feel the love stars are just like us, specifically
Tom Holland. He has a boy crush on Earling Holland,
the soccer star. So it's pretty hilarious because Tom Holland

(02:17):
was talking about how he like tried to hang out
with them because he's like, I'm famous, you're famous, Like
why can't we be boys?

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Like why can't we have a bromance? But the funny
part is is Earling Holland had no idea who he was,
and so you're like, I don't know, but.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
All of us feel Tom Holland.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
It's okay, I know, right, be normal for a second.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
But of course after he talked about it on Jimmy Fallon,
Erling realized who he was and was like, oh my bad,
I accept your dinner invitation now. So I guess all
you gotta do is go on Jimmy Fallon and be
like I love you, and then okay, magic happens easy. Well,
at least it did for Tom Holland.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
So but I love that.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I love a good bromance because I think guys need
good friends. So when you guys get excited about being
friends with somebody, it's I love to see it. I
love to see it. And lastly, you're gonna love to
see pickle emojis all over the place because it's finally arrived.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
I already have. I thought we.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Did too, but apparently there's a new pickle that's arriving
with nine new emojis to celebrate World Emoji Day. We're
gonna get a cracked smiling face. We're gonna get a
net with a handle.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Catching like you're catching like a fish or something.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, like you could be catching anything a monarch, butterfly,
a meteor, a pickle, a lighthouse, an e racer. And
then there's gonna be one of those left thumb right
thumb things where it's like this guy, like you point
at yourself with two thumbs like this guy. So you're
gonna get two thumbs coming before you that pickle.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
We already had a pickle. This pickle just looks less real.
It looks it reminds you of the one from SpongeBob.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, so maybe it's cooler. Not no, you know it's.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Gonna be abused anyways, So.

Speaker 3 (04:02):

be like, I'm fine, but I'm not actually fine. So
