(00:01):
It's time for non headline news withScottie and Hannah on the New Mix ninety
nine point five. Or right,let's get into some of the things folks
are talking about. We get toextend our conversation a tad bit. Yes,
we're gonna start with some trending topics. Okay, go into it.
One of those is an airplane trend. You were telling me about this.
I'm a little confused. It's callednot doing anything. Yes, you basically

(00:25):
get onto an airplane. You don'twatch a movie, you don't read a
book, you don't play a gameon your phone, you don't do anything.
You just sit there and do absolutelynothing. Why is this a trip?
What do people get out of doingthis? Apparently it's supposed to be
a way just to like disconnect andmindfulness and all of that and just like
sit in silence, will perceive silenceright without anything coming at you. Yeah,

(00:49):
to help your brain just kind oflike calm and like find your zen.
Could you handle doing that? Absolutelynot? Nope, Nope, nope.
I don't know. I mean allblessings of those who can I cannot
fathom. I just picture someone onlike a long haul let's just say like
eight hour international flights, sitting theredoing absolutely nothing, and like there's a
level of I don't want to saypsychopath because that's a bit extreme, but

(01:14):
like, what kind of person areyou that you're just sitting there staring at
the seat back in front of me. Maybe try it on a shorter flight
if you're traveling I don't know,Greensboro to Charlotte. I couldn't even do
it on the seventeen minute flight toCharlotte from here. Another trend is gramping.
Yeah, and that's exactly what itsounds like. It's it's traveling with
your grandparents. Yes, and Ilove this. It's taking grandma or grandpa

(01:37):
on vacation with Now are you takingthem or is it because you know Grandpa
and Grandama are going to pay forI don't think that's it, but there's
probably a level to that. No, it's just like an opportunity to bond
and learn more about your grandparents.All right, well, go with it.
I love We used to take mygrandma on vacation with us, Like
we would go to like Florida togetherin Texas, just include her. Yep,
Grandma would come with. I alwaysthink about that scene from vacation when

(02:01):
they have to pick up the olderlady and then she passes away in the
car. Oh, luckily that neverhappened. That's horrible. Okay, since
we're on the trends, let's talkabout this freckle trend as well. Yeah,
apparently it is the hottest new thing. If you have freckles, you
are now suddenly in and folks whodon't have it are having freckle envy.

(02:23):
Now they're doing stuff about it.I have seen YouTube tutorials from people who
I follow on like religiously on thesite showing people how to do freckles and
like the best way to achieve themin what products to use, and how
to get them to last. Sohow do you not make it seem like
you're just putting dots on your face? Okay, so you use an eyebrow

(02:45):
like pen. It's the best wayto describe it. It's like a felt
tip eyebrow thing, or like alight brown liquid liner, and you basically
just like strategically put the dots onyour face and then you let it set
so like it's not going to moveanywhere, and then you put powder over
it like setting power. Oh gosh, it doesn't move or sweat away or
any of that, because I knowpeople would put fake moles on it at
one point, yes, just tobe like Cindy Crawford or whatever. The

(03:08):
other thing they're doing this is they'regoing and getting broccoli and they're putting it
into stamps. Okay, like thestamp, Well, but does broccoli give
the same effect? Okay, Ican see it working. We should try
it. Do you want me togive you brocoli frecass. I would like
you to try it and let meknow how. I have broccoli in my
refrigerator. I'll try all right.Target phasing out checks that made big news.

(03:30):
This apparently is affecting an entire onepercent of their customer base. I
was going to say, how manypeople actually write a check at Tarja?
But yeah, you're not going tobe able to write those checks anymore.
What was the last check you wrote? Oh gosh, I think the last
check I wrote was probably for likerent back in like twenty sixteen at my

(03:52):
apartment before it went to like digitalpayment. Everything is digital. Everything is
online. But if you're a personwho loves checks, you're gonna have to
go to Walmart because they're going tokeep accepting it. Apparently, I just
I couldn't even tell you where mycheckbook. I don't think I don't have
checks for my account. Now Iknow that I have no idea where my
checkbook is. I think my wifehas it, but I don't know.

(04:13):
Just never can. Now I wantto meet someone who's like, yeah,
I still write a check. Yeah. Who's fighting against this? Well,
apparently nobody. Two people at Target. All Right, some baby names just
don't sound good together. Yeah,others they're inappropriate, but moms and dads
don't always notice this. That's whythere was a website put together a list

(04:33):
of baby names that someone talked toanother person out of using, which is
a great list. Yes, what'son it? Latrina is on there,
as in let's go to the latrine. Yeah, they figured out what they
explained to their friends. You don'twant to do this because the latrine is
another word for a bathroom. Anotherone was Rosatia Roseatia, which they had

(04:57):
no clue was a skin condition.Yep, yeah, here your redness.
Sometimes they sound good though it islike a pretty name roseesha, but no
they went with rosa instead. Goodcall. My favorite one on the list
was someone who was ready to nametheir baby a very spiritual name, amazing
Grace, and then they figured outthat as they entered the room in life,

(05:19):
they would have to say, Hi, I'm amazing, Like, just
just go with Grace. What grace, classic name, sweet name, beautiful
name. I had a friend namedPhilip Okay and his last name is Pino,
Philip Pino, Philip Pino. Fortunatelyfor him, he was he was

(05:39):
Filipino. That's okay. Yes,it could have been a maybe offensive if
he wasn't an identity crisis for sure, but you know, he has to
walk in and go, I'm Filipino, and I can tell I'm trying to
think if I know anyone with likea random name. There's a kid I
went to high school with whose namewas Jack Daniel. The kind of funny
part is is like we on knewwhere his dad was on Friday night.
Yeah, the fifth barstool. Fromthe end of it, I was about

(06:01):
to say, that's a dad,going yeah, that's right, we're putting
Jack Daniel exactly. There you go. Well, there's your non headline news
extended mix. Thanks for joining us. We'll catch you again next time. Doodles
