Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:01):
You would think that these restaurants had learned the lesson
from Cracker Barrel and trying to change their logo and
all of the like lashback they got from that, But no,
another fast food chain has just changed their logo.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
People are freaking out. Oh, I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Just give me a second, because first I want to
find out if you played Wordle?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Did you guys? Ever do Wordle? I think I did?
For a second, World became such a huge game.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
There's millions of daily players online every day, and now
NBC has decided that they want to try to make
some money off of that because there's a new TV show.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's a game show. Whoa like Wordle?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
So yeah, Savannah Guthrie is going to be hosting it
and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
So is Wordle kind of like Wheel of Fortune?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Then? Like, aren't you I never played wordal on the game?
But don't they give you like letters and you have
to figure it out? Or is it definition?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
They can give you hints, like they give you like
the numbers of letters that it is, and they give
you the letters, do you have to figure out which
one goes where?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh? I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, but I don't know if I watch a game
show it though, Like I like, I like playing it
on my own time, just like pastime.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, because I can get it. You can probably multitask.
They watch TV and play Wordle at the same time
something like that. But like watch TV and be focused
on wordle is a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, I don't think i'd want to watch someone else
listen to like kind of Wheel of Fortune type.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, that's what it feels like. So we'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
But Wordle is coming to NBC soon. Next door the apps.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
For the three people who still watch like actual TV TV.
It's so weird when you watch actual TV.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
You watch TV.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
It was in a hotel room the other day. How
was it turned on the TV and it was like
actual TV. It was strange. I was like, whoa, there's
like commercials place like news.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It was news. There was the news. Like, You're like,
why can't I just yeah, I'm like I could.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
I could google everything you're saying right now already have
stuff that you can watch it. I'm like, it's so
weird when you check it out or there, it's it's
a weird place you already lived there. I can't believe you.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
But it's starting to feel like we live there again
because all the streaming platforms have commercials now too, and
I'm like, oh, I don't want to pay extra, so
now I got to do commercials.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
But their ads are either shorter or they tell you
how much time.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
That's like they're tailored to you too. Yeah, it's weird.
That is weird, or like your city and I'm like, whoa,
how does it know where I am? Oh, that is weird.
I use it as a pea break because I don't
really pay attention exactly though.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
You don't how much time you have versus like commercials
you're just sleep.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, it's true. They give you accountdown at least. Yeah
I need I like a countdown.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
We are so not patient and everything we just talked
about right now or like give it to me now. Yeah, okay,
let's talk about Long John Silvers.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Long John Silvers is a fast food chain. It's still around.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Freaked out the whole entire population because yeah, they're still around.
But Long John Silver was a fisherman, if you remember,
Long John Silvers is known for seafood, but they just
now changed their logo from a fish to a chicken.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Wait, what what are they? Why so Long John Silver
now getting chicken chicken?

Speaker 4 (03:08):
I G'm sure they have chicken SCHIPs and stuff, right,
but like why chicken silver they do?

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I guess they're trying to highlight the fact that they
have more than just seafood. But now you're confusing people
that go there specifically for the seafood like popcorn, shrimp
or like yeah, fish and chips or whatever.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, you would go there, like versus McDonald's if you
wanted to fish, like you would go. I don't know,
I've never been, but like now that they're highlight like
that thing is chicken, Like why would I not just
go Chick fil It?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
And people just don't Yeah right, people don't like change.
It's a weird choice. I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, especially with Long John Silver, Like that's the guy
with the fish net.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Even on their website.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
You go to their website and it's like National Seafood
Month on the front, and it's fish and chips everywhere.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
You see the chicken.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Uh, there's like scrolling, oh, two piece chicken basket, but
everything else is fish shrimp basket.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Like if they're a seafood place. Yeah, I wouldn't trust
them selling like chicken. They want to shove chicken down
your throat. Don't shove chick. You know my throat. I
want fish from you.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, there's only one thing I want, Long John Silver's
shoving down my throat.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
That is fish. That's a little fishy.
