Brought to you by Michael Schubing on Auburn. You're home
from Machino. It's time for Nina's what's trending?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
You know, we always talk about where is it that
you can find true love? Apparently it's not in the office.
Office romance has taken a dive for one reason. Specifically,
I know it is, especially since I know somebody who
wants to start an OFFICEA what I just said, I
know somebody. Anyway, I'll explain just a second. But first,

(00:27):
Justin Bieber has just joined as a co headliner for
the FIFA World Cup Final halftime show.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
So this is actually going to be huge.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I didn't realize how many artists that they already have confirmed.
So Justin Bieber has just been announced, but Madonna, Shakira,
bts Are all going to be a part of it.
Big names, burn a Boy, a couple other ones, and
then PS twenty two chorus from Lake Little School Elementary
School is going to be there, which is going to
be really cute fourth and fifth graders from Staten Island.

(00:56):
And then Coldplay, even Coldplay is going to be there
where You're smart and curating the tire eleven minute halftime show.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I was gonna say, are they all going to be
performing together or what after the other?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
I hope it's together eleven minutes, like unless each one
of them like sings the line.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I know. I don't know how it's gonna look because
they all have big songs in our big names. It's like,
how do you put them all?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I don't know, unless they have like a special song
just for the FIFA halftime show that they all do together,
which would be cool. Eleven minutes, but I don't know.
The halftime show is your I didn't come up with this,
Victoria just criticizing me. But the halftime show is produced
by Global Citizen and so they're going to be helping
raise funds for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. So

(01:38):
their goal this year is raising one hundred million dollars
to expand access to education and football for children worldwide.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Oh, that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Even Kerman and Miss Piggy will be a part of it. Oh,
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
So that's all happening on July nineteenth in New York.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
So thank yeah, I know. Ooh.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
And lastly, Office Romance have taken a dive for one
specific reason. And that is the gen Z's just not
into it. Apparently it's taken a dive because gen Z
HR have both made it harder for people to find
love in the workplace.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
H It was just so.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Funny because really they always just told us, I mean,
we work in radio, it's kind of a different experience.
But even when I worked in a gym, there were
office romances. And then where else did I work?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
My stepsister she met her like now her boyfriend, and
but she worked at HR for a company and he
also worked for HR for that same company. Like they
met because he trained her how to do her job,
not cute, and then a few months later they started
dating or whatever.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
And I was like, wait, so did they play it
by the book?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Did they like report their romance to everybody right away?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I don't think so. But I think also from what
I hear Nina, you guys used to just like sneak
around a lot more, because I've heard a lot of
stories about people hooking up in these like buildings.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
They're talking about you guys as a millennials, well as
he did.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
We were free.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Must be night.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
They're cracking the whip on us, but nobody ever.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Got in trouble for that though, Like you only would
have to report it if it was your boss, Like
you would only have to report it that way. I mean,
I dated one of my coworkers for a very long time.
I've done that twice. Oh fine, It just made it
hard when things didn't work out and they were cheating
on me.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I camped outside of the radio station just because I
needed to catch them in the act because I thought
it was so cool.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
One specifically would have this.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
One girl roll up while he was on the air,
and like, think that I didn't know that he was
sneaking her in the building. Well guess what, bro I
work here too, and have a key boom busted.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh I think he's just dumb. Yeah, he is dumb.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
But that got me upset anyway, So maybe don't do it.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, no, that's what's trending.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
