Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day. Brought to you by
muchel shut being go in Auburn your home for machine Goo.
It's time for Nina's what's trending?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
So you know that's saying you are what you eat.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Yikes, Well, there is one food that happens to be
the most attractive and if you want to be the
most attractive person in the room, then you need to
be eating this one food.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And I'll tell you what it is in just a second.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
But first, do you remember where you were in twenty sixteen?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (00:26):
I don't remember where I was yesterday?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Cool that it's hard to call cool.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Well, there are some people that either remember where they
were in twenty sixteen or a romanticizing the year twenty
sixteen because it is trending. The hashtag bring back twenty
sixteen is everywhere, especially gen zers who are asking for
us to go back to a more simpler time. They
want a factory reset because everybody hates twenty twenty six already,

(00:52):
so they're like, well, let's go back ten years.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Your twenty twenty six A chance? You want to go
back to high school.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Ew No, well that was the year of the Mannequin challenge.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
People want to bring that back. Music.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
They want to bring that back, a time where we
weren't dealing with AI videos and social media was still
fun and it wasn't just oversaturated with influencers and selling things.
We do that, but I'd be still in my twenties, yeah,
I mean, I'd rather do that.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
I don't want to actually go back twenty I don't
want to be sixteen again. You can't have any fun.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
I mean, nobody's asking to be put in a time machine.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I think what they're asking for is all of the
vibes of twenty sixteen to be now. So it's just,
you know, a time where you're like, let's just let's
bring it back. No, get rid of the AI slop.
Can't put the genie back in the bottle they opened
at the AI Genie.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
There's no putting that back in the bottom. I know,
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
I think it's just allowing people to be real again.
That's what always happens. Like society's all a cycle, right,
Everything just goes around and around and around and around,
and from like about ninety or the mid nineties to
like twenty sixteen, twenty fifteen, society was relaxed. People were real,
You don't have to worry about it image. You could go
on social media say whatever you want to say, and
if you were just joking, most people wouldn't get offended.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
And then the Karen's got.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
A hold of it and it would be like prohibition
right when you couldn't do anything. And it was back
in those fifties where everything was all about your image
and you had to be perfect, don't.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Be sarcastic, becauast.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
And now it's getting back to that again. Cool, so
we got about twenty years of that. Then it'll go
back to being sanitized.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Again, right, so it'll get dirty before it gets re sanitized.
Side note, I heard that the new Karen is Jessica.
Have you guys heard that? No, Yeah, that Karen's going
to be replaced by Jessica's. So Jessica is just the
name doesn't say, Well, I don't. I don't get the
image of a Jessica the same way I get the Karen.
And I don't know what it is on my algorithm,

(02:41):
but I have all these videos of Karen's running straight
to cars to yell at people apparently I watched one
like through its entirety, and so it started feeding me
more of it.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
They're they're funny, they's fun They're funny and sad all
at the same time.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
On YouTube, there's a new a video that has just
been uploaded that may be the longest ever it's uploaded,
and it says it has a run time of one
hundred and forty years. Whoa, But then when you click
on it, it's actually just twelve hours. So now there's
all this speculation over the one hundred and forty year
long YouTube video that's just a blank. I don't really know.

(03:15):
I think they just put the words on there, and
now people are believing it because if it's twelve hours,
but the speculation is that it's a test page for YouTube,
or it's a part of an alternate reality game. So
I don't know what that means. That makes me feel
kind of weird too, if that is a reality game, soa.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Or it's a countdown to win. This thing's officially out
over in one hundred and forty years. Okay, I'll be.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Dead, Yeah I was something. It wouldn't be that long.
I'll figure out long enough.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, if you're gonna live, you might as well live
and be attractive and eat the attractive food that's gonna
make you look and feel better. And it's garlic, according
to science. I know it sounds funny, but apparently if
you eat garlic, not only are you more attractive, well, no,
you're more tracted because you sweat and it smells good.
And then people are attracted to your sweat. What not
your breath, but your sweat. It's science. Don't make those faces.

(04:09):
They already proved it. They all did all these tests,
and all these people wanted the garlic smelling sweat.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Wow, really indulged
