Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Well, there's a new study that says, if you want
to save money, get rid of all of your friends. WHOA,
because that, on average it costs two hundred and fifty
dollars a month to have friends. Because this is taking
into account that people are going to brunches, going out
to drinks, you're hanging out.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Do you want people to be lonely and by themselves
if you don't have friends?

Speaker 4 (00:22):
What do you like?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Who do you hang out with yourself? WHOA?

Speaker 4 (00:26):
I don't hang out these for someone like so long?

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, I got a real small circle. You know.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
It's me and me and my room is. Basically you
can always I save a ton of money. I save
a ton of money, and I hang out with myself
and my room bows all day.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
I don't believe that because your roomors were expensive.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Actually good point. And yeah, and one is gone.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I don't know where one is. The others are always
slipped over when I get home, so they're tired. They
have more fun than I am. This kind of explains
to Victoria.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Every time we asked you able to hang out, and
he's like, I'm really busy.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
He's hanging out with his room bus.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah, him running around trying to find him. They're like, oh,
Dad's tell me.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I did read this study though, and think, okay, well
that's ridiculous because in this moment, money would be priceless.
You know, the friendships that you have are priceless, the
experiences that you have with them are priceless.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
That's not fully true.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
They could be put a price on brunch, put a
cap on brunch as well.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yes, but where you choose to go for brunches on you. Oh,
the fact that it's happening is a different story. So
just something to think about. This is also something to
think about. CNN just covered the latest beauty trend.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
And wait, CNN covers.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
CNN does and the latest one that they covered is
called the tired girl trend.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
What does that entail?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
So what this is is all about a lightly smudged eye.
The face is pale, cheekbones are accentuated by a dash
of gray. You do that on purpose or you just
this is on purpose. Lips are tinged pink purple. I'm sorry,
so they look a little bit more exhausted. It's all
about celebrating the look of not having been to bed.

(02:05):
This is so silly because you don't have to pay
for any of this. You could just go to bed,
just be tired.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
I'm like, that's what I look like every morning. I'm
just more surprised that CNN.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Decided to bring this. That's how good news is now.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Like, but of all of the different beauty trends that
have happened, like the tomato girl, like all of the
different types of fruit nails, this is the one that
you went with.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Man, they want to make sure when they walk into
their office, their bosses look at them and they're like,
oh my gosh, you're so tired. You must have been
working hard all night to Yes, sir, I was on
all your reports.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
None of them are done.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Thing is it probably takes an hour or two to
get the tired girl. Look, if you're doing it on purpose, right,
just go out so properly, smudge to.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Make up and everything.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I wouldn't be tired after that. Absolutely, it's exhausting. This
is actually funny. So I don't know if you guys
knew this, but the the next movie to the Meet
the Fokkers, the funny one.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
You know that Ben Stiller is in that one. So
the next one.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
There's gonna be one that Ariana Grande stars in. So
her love person, the person that she's with, let me interest,
thank you. Her love interest in this movie is the
son of Ben Stiller. But it's so funny because people
already started to see who they're casting and they're like,
why are directors so afraid to put Ariana Grande was

(03:35):
somebody hot in any movie that she's ever been with.
The guy is name Skuyler, he responded, and he's like,
I'm proud to be in this movie. Is But as
you can see initial fan reactions looking very positive.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Day, how to hear that?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Dude?

Speaker 5 (03:50):
You're like, oh okay, You're like, what did that mean?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Not a hot actor?

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Wait? But she was with a hot actor and Wicked.
I don't know. I think that they're referring to her
current boyfriend and SpongeBob.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Probably, but Jonathan Bailey's hot true wasn't Wicked. So you
know what, Ben Steelers kid, you can be hot.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Too, Ben Steelers kid.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
No, his real kid. It's the guy that's playing his
Oh I thought it was actually his kid. Now it's
the kid that plays his kid in the lane. His
name is Skyler.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Gazondo Skyler, Gazondo, Gazondozo. What do you think, Victoria, Oh,
this guy is so funny. It's funny, really funny. His
uh what is it called, his uh personality?

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Thank you? His personality makes up Okay.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
So no you don't think.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Yeah, yeah, great personality.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah that's what's trending.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yeah, that's a that's a way to get a guy
to receive it. You're hot, buddy, throw the buddy on.
It doesn't sound like you're just telling us buy at all.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's okay. He didn't hear
