Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Nina's what's trending?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Does anybody know what's going on? Apparently there's a new
countdown on Taylor Swift's website and it stops at two
o'clock Eastern time.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Why so, what is it? Or doesn't say what it's about?

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It doesn't say it has no like, there's no real
clear anything. It could be a single announcement, could be
a music video, is it a documentary? Is it merchandise?
Is it a secret? I just don't know. I don't
think it's merchandise.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I think it has to do with like maybe a
music video, announcement or engagement.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
Whoa now bar and Travis Kelsey are getting engaged? That
would be just so cute three two one, that would
be the best way to announce it.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I don't know. We're gonna have to wait and see
what it is. It could be so many different things.
Her album's presale happened over the weekend and there were
four different versions of it. Oh you know, different versions
are different like colors and stuff, like different colors and okay, yeah,
I love that. This is normal.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well it's the same.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well yeah, but a lot of artists do that. Okay, Well,
I think it's cool. I just don't know if that
has anything to do with you announcement too, so we'll
wait and see. Exciting. So in South Korea, they have
a new way of managing crime, and this is really
interesting because it actually could be something that works other places,
and it's all about psychology. What they're doing is using

(01:15):
life side life sides holographic police officers like crime. They're
seeing them in parks and places that are really busy
to remind people that there's cameras, people are always watching.
And they said crime rates have dropped. So this police
officer that you see in the hologram is uniformed, he's
over five to seven, he's just got I love. They're

(01:37):
very specific to let everybody know that he's just there,
always watching you.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
So he doesn't do anything. He just sits there. It's
a hologram of a cop that just sits there.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Oh I think he's Yeah, he's just there and I
don't know if it's like threatening or talking to people
or doing anything like that. It says he's just there,
and the psychology says that just having that reminder, people
are less likely to commit crimes.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, that's kind of interesting. Interesting, interesting watching a I
would love it. Definitely see that coming to America for sure,
as we have.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
It as our phones. So it's not a hologram though,
like you want to talk in front of you. That's true,
that's true.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
I can't wait till somebody hacks it though. And now
the cops like doing some weird dances in the park.
You know that's going to happen.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, that would actually be really cool. Okay, this story
is interesting. So Marilyn Monroe. Everybody knows who Marilyn Monroe is, right, So,
years and years and years ago when she passed away,
there is this whole there's all different types of conspiracies
about her death, like was it actually her? Was it
she actually she murdered, like all this kind of stuff. Yes,

(02:46):
she's she's gone, but positive. There's a book that's coming
out by the LA coroner and he was the guy
that did the autopsy, and he's saying that the paperwork
wasn't real, that they didn't do a thorough autopsy on weight.
Why not everything started going missing. Well, one of the
conspiracies is that the Kennedy's had something to do with
it because of her affair.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
But then there's still be an actual autopsy. Like I
feel like, as a Corner I would be like, Okay,
I'll create the fake one if you want one, but
I want to do that, but I'm also going to
create a real one, so at least I know the truth.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, it sounds like you just didn't ask questions. You
always said they had him to do a fake autopsy.
He didn't finish it. There were just parts of it
that weren't done. Like he did parts of it, but
they're like, it wasn't thorough It wasn't thoroughly and properly performed.
So what Yeah, and anytime he tried to go back
in there, he didn't. So there's new book. He's ninety
eight years old now, by the way, So he has
this new book where he's telling all and it's La

(03:40):
Corner death in Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Interesting, right? Is it all about hers? About other people too?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
There's other people too, But the stuff with marily Monroe
is really creepy.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
