Ellen Pompeo’s Seeds, Swifties Double Down, and Travel Trauma Confessions

Today on Nina’s What’s Trending, we kick things off with a TSA showdown—Ellen Pompeo (aka Meredith Grey) almost missed her flight after her organic sunflower seeds triggered a bomb squad investigation. Yes, the seeds stayed behind, but Meredith flew on.

That story spirals into chaotic travel confessions from the crew—including missed flights, airport floor naps, and a dramatic “I’ll-just-drive-there” moment from Jubal. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift fans are once again showing just how loyal they are—snapping up copies of her original albums after already buying her re-recordings. Swifties basically said: "Oh, you own them now? Take our money—again."

It’s airline anxiety, Swiftie economics, and TSA cheese seizures all in one trending segment.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day. It's time for Nina's
what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
If you've ever been stopped by the TSA for a
silly reason, then you're gonna really feel this story. But
Grace Pompeo otherwise known as Ellen Pompeo Ellen Pompeio known
as I was reading. Grace otherwise known as Meredith Gray,
thank you very much, was stopped by the TSA because
of her sunflower seeds. Oh, she went to air one whatever,

(00:27):
the grocery store where everybody pays a million dollars for anything,
for whatever it is, and she got these organic sunflower
seeds and they were in this expensive little bag and
all this stuff. But she got stopped by TSA and
they said it was some kind of chemical that must
have been on the back because they also called her
the bomb squad.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Whoa I know.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
And she's like, I'll just throw them away. Can I
get on the plane, and they're like, oh, you gotta
stay here, So they kept her there and she almost
missed her flying Wait.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Did she didn't miss her flight? Out of miss that
flight real quick?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, she didn't end up missing her flight. She made it,
I know, but the seeds the seeds day, I got
stopped for cheese. She gets stopped for cheese.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah, but how long is she getting early to the airport?
Like I get to the airport maybe like twenty and
forty board, which they'd hand her for a whole hour.
So I mean she's getting to the airport like at
least like an hour and a half before the plane.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Even we're always worried about you and Jubil and we
travel the norm.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
That's what they say to do.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
You know, it's a domestic travel is an hour and
a half to two hours, that's waste. For international travel,
it's three hours.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
What seriously?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, that's why Brad and I will be sitting at
the gate when the show travels together and we're like,
you think that Jubil and Victoria are gonna make it? Hey,
I make them.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Jubill missed one?

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Did you?

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Didn't you miss one?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean I've missed flights before.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Oh, it wasn't that one that I remember. You missed
one flight. It was like an early morning flight and
you missed it. Oh we weren't with him for that flight.
Yeah that's right.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I've missed.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I've missed playing of flights.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
He was supposed to meet us somewhere and I get
a phone call after the plane's supposed to have taken
I was like, hey, man.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I'll get on the next one.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, you know what he did, and he was there
on time. That's the one thing I could say about Jewel. Jewell,
make a mistake with the air travel, You'll fix it.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, I mean I have to worry about I'm very
aware of myself, you know. I know there's a high
likelihood that I can miss a flight because I cut
it very close. And if I do on trip, I'm
just like, well, I've done this before. I know how
to get another flight.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
One time, he just drove a couple hours to another
city and got a different place.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Well, we slept on the floor of the airport.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I do remember that.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I was like, I cannot be in an airport for much longer.
I'm just gonna drive.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's a really upsetting day.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
I don't want to think about it.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Taylor Swift is having a lot of wonderful days, you know.
After she bought back all of her albums that she
had been re recording, the sales for the original album
spiked on all six albums.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
I mean there's great albums.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
On the original Jeff Bezos, Like originally.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
We couldn't even listen to them because like we felt
like we were betraying her, I know. So now we're
like we can go, oh bye, listen, do whatever we want.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
All these people had those original albums probably then they
went and got the re recordings support and now they
want to support her again because she owns her albums.
They got albums that they already have.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
I wouldn't do that to get it.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
It is the musical equivalent of Apple fanboys, the guys
who are like it was one thing different, there's one
thing different about that phone.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
It's still behind in technology. It's not even the best
phone that exists.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
But the love literally just.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Keep releasing the same album. It's like, well, this one,
the album covers like a different shade of red on it.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I mean, you.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Probably could.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Actually get away with it.
