Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for Nina's what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So first second, just imagine you're an actress and you've
been working really hard for your career. You get your moment,
and all of a sudden, you realize that you've been
replaced by the hawk to a girl.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Oh yeah, what that sounds like?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yikes, is unbelievable, and you'll hear it in just a second.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's fair. It's very fair, and you'll hear it in
a second.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Okay, But first, I just want to know how you
woke up this morning.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Was it easy? Was it hard? Did your alarm clock
do it up? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Normally it's not hard for me to Normally, when I
when when my alarm goes off, or I usually wake
up a little bit before my alarm. But lately, yeah,
there is I usually wake up like a few minutes
before my alarm.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Are you surprised by that?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
He's up at like two o'clock in the morning every
day and it's very easy for me to get up,
but this past week it has not been. So this morning,
I woke up, and then I went back to bed,
and then I woke up, and then I went back
to bed, and then I woke up and then I
thought about calling and sick and going back to bed,
but I didn't. So I'm here now, but I don't
know if I'm awake, so okay, might still be asleep.
I think you're so am I dreaming?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes? What do I look like? And enjoy your dreams?
There's the Nightmare Show with like different woodland creatures? Right,
Victoria looks like a squirrel.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
What well, I don't know it's a squirrel, but it
has Victoria's voice coming out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I feel like Alvin and the Chipmunk a little chip
now all I see is a chipmunk.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
But they're cute. They are cute. You're very cute, Vicky.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
And that's coming from the toys Russ to raft.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
So that's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Okay, Yeah, I don't know where I am. I'm probably
dreaming still.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I asked that question not to go down the rabbit
hole literally, but to tell you about a new way
that hotels are going to be offering for their people
to wake up.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
They're people, the people that stay in the hotel. But
this has only started in Australia and New Zealand and
j Will.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I don't think this would work for you, but I
definitely think it would work for Victoria.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
And so what it is.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Is using a scent based alarm clock to wake you
up in the morning like a diffuser. So it released
sense of coffee, bacon, blueberry muffin.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Hungry, get me up? I know.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
So I don't think this would work for Jubiles so much,
but I think for Victoria that smell of a muffin
and bacon might.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Get you moving.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Oh, I would definitely get me Me would have been
if I had someone cooking for me in my like
apartment or when I'm home with my parents. Man, I'm
up quicker than anything, so I smell the food in
the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
So it's really a genius people like you and me.
I would get up for bacon. I did bacon out.
It's not nice.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Anyways, let's go back to that actress who was cast
in a show with Glenn Powell. It's called It's a
series that he's in called Chad Powers. So the actress
was originally cast, She shot the scenes, she did everything.
She's got this video of the sound that you're gonna hear.
She's got a watch party at her house. Everybody's in
her living room and they're watching the screen, only for
her to find out that.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
She was replaced. I didn't tell her, She did not
tell her.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
So this is the reaction of her finding out for
the very first time that she was replaced by Hailey Welch,
the Hawk Tua girl.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Okay, did you come in later? Shocks? Yeah, oh yeah,

(03:30):
that really does.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
So.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, that man to be having a watch party, a
watch party, and everybody's just staring at her.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
My question.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
So this actress, her name is Brittany Ray Carrera, and
allegedly she got recast by Haley because she didn't have
enough followers on social media.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I went to go find her to see how many
followers she has, but she has like two hundred and
sixty one thousand, and it only would have gone up.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's insane.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Now you can get like getting booked for movies and
shows and stuff. It doesn't even matter if you have
acting skills at all. They look at social media.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's insane, really not right, because that's the takes like
the movie quality away. Like I like a movie or
a TV show that has like really good actors or
actresses like makes the show.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, well why would you watch it if they're terrible?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Because you followed, because they just know, like if they
have millions of followers, they're hoping that at least like
ten percent of their audience something, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
So this feels like one of those moments. You know
how Flow from all of those insurance commercials never really
got cast as anything because she's Flow. You'll always know
grass Flow. I can't watch Haley Welch as anything other
than Hawktua. I'm sorry, Like right down Chartres and all
I'm thinking of you.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Hockpool on it right? Wait? Was she playing herself in
the show. No, just don't make more sense.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I think she was playing the character that Brittany was
supposed to play, and that's why Brittany was freaking out.
And then who's her friend? This's filming her freak out
and leaking it to the press.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Okay, well, I know that's kind of messed up too.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
I do feel like everyone films it because like it's
so exciting, you think you're gonna get an exciting reaction,
and so he was not expecting for hire Fair and
then he's like, wait, you're we're mad for you, Like
people should know that, like that you got replaced by
up celebrity.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
I feel like, that's why you did it. If you
spend it like that, I feel better about it.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think a lot of these companies just don't want
to build new talent anymore, you know, they don't want
to find somebody and build them up. They just want
they just want the quick fix of getting people to
maybe watch it based off of followers. I almost had
a book deal back in the day. They liked my concept,
they liked what I had written up, they liked the
first few chapters, they like everything there. This is great,
but you need more followers on social media, so come
back to us when you have whatever.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Was like a couple hundred thousand, and I've never.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Gone back to them obviously because I guess I could
look at my Ticktom yeah, yeah, now we need one
point five.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
It was like, well, it looks like back in the
exactly ridiculous being great and then people will come right right.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Also in the show our TikTok Our show TikTok has
you know, over three million, yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Which is amazing.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
So we should be getting booked for something. I mean,
we shouldn't be in movies and things like that. Right,
we can pry about as much talk to it.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Pretty can scream about one of us that's a girl. Yeah,
I mean, I'm totally down.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I'm talking crab about it that they don't like to
build new talent, but I will absolutely jump on any
opportunity based off the followers that we have.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Sure, I would like to think that we have talent.
That's okay, that's me. Girls replace I replace a girl
in her role.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I was just like, Hi, shame on you. I don't
know why. I don't know why my line is shame
on you, but it's not like what should be shame
on you to looking at my legs man.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
And she's like, that's those an't even the lines that
I had?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Power female? You get out of here just looking at
me like a piece of me. They're like, there's no
lawyers in the show.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Just like, what ever, he's got three point five million,
let him say whatever he wants.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh my gosh, you need to do that the wrong role,
that's what's trending. Or did he
