Burger Pass Chaos, Robot Marathons, and the Human-Robot Rivalry Heats Up
The Headlines: Red Robin’s $20 Bottomless Burger Passes Sell Out Instantly—and Glitch Out China Hosts the World’s First Humanoid Robot Half-Marathon Humanoid Tech Race: China vs. The West Red Robin Passes Sell Out Faster Than Taylor Swift Tickets It’s official: America loves burgers more than concerts. Red Robin's Bottomless Burger Passes—$20 for a daily burger and bottomless sides through May—sold out instantly and created chaos in the process. Fans reported website crashes, errors, and even being charged $682, which is the full promo value for the month. Those accidental charges were quickly refunded, but the chaos still made the burger run feel more like a Black Friday brawl. One customer joked: "It was literally easier to get Taylor Swift tickets."Source China Hosts First Humanoid Robot Half-Marathon More than 20 two-legged humanoid robots lined up in China for the world’s first humanoid half-marathon, a futuristic flex of tech that was more adorable clunky chaos than Terminator-style takeover. Built by university teams and tech firms, these bots jogged, stumbled, and waddled their way through the race, which was more about showcasing China's growing ambition in humanoid robotics than actual speed. The winning team’s robot may not have broken any human records, but its creators claim it's on par with U.S. models—setting up a global robot race that Elon Musk believes could be a $10 trillion business.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

KyleFest Returns + The Five-Second Rule Is a Lie
The Headlines: Kyle, Texas Prepares for “Kyle Fest” and Another Attempt at the Guinness World Record Fyre Festival Postponed Again—No Fire, Just Fizzled TikTok Microbiologist Destroys the Five-Second Rule Kyle Festival Returns Next Month, and Yes, It’s Still All About Kyles Mark your calendars: Kyle Fest is back! The third annual Kyle Fair: A Tex-Travaganza hits Lake Kyle Park in Kyle, Texas from May 16–18. Expect music, margaritas, fajitas, ribs, and, of course… Kyles. Yep, the city will once again attempt to break the world record for the most people named Kyle in one place. (They’ve failed twice, but hope springs eternal.) Highlights this year include music from Bri Bagwell (Texas Female Artist of the Decade) and Stefani Mantiel (2024 Tejano Music Awards Entertainer of the Year). And if your name happens to be Kyle—this might just be your Coachella.Source Fyre Festival 2.0 Postponed Indefinitely (Surprise?) Just when we thought the chaos of the original Fyre Festival couldn't be topped, the sequel has been… postponed indefinitely. Ticket holders received emails confirming they'll be refunded and get first dibs when (or if) new dates are announced. Honestly, if you did buy tickets, the real question is: why?Source The Five-Second Rule? Yeah, It’s Total B.S. A microbiologist on TikTok is ruining snack time for all of us. He ran an experiment placing petri dishes on the floor for different time spans, from one second to a full minute. The results? All of them showed microbial growth. Meaning it doesn’t matter if you grab that Cheeto in one second or five—it’s probably already got floor funk on it. And weirdly, the five-second dish wasn’t always cleaner than the one-minute one. Moral of the story: If it hits the ground… maybe just let it go.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

MGK Feels Left Out + High Schools Now Teach Kids How to Sleep
The Headlines: MGK Calls His Omission from the “White Rapper Mount Rushmore” Blasphemous High Schools Are Teaching Teens How to Sleep—Yes, Really MGK Left Off White Rapper Mount Rushmore, and He’s Not Happy The internet is debating who belongs on the Mount Rushmore of white rappers, and a recent AI-generated image of it included Eminem, Mac Miller, Paul Wall, and Russ. But MGK was not amused. He commented, “Me not on the white rapper Mt. Rushmore is blasphemy.” Fans chimed in with other names like the Beastie Boys, Action Bronson, Lil Dicky, Yelawolf, Aesop Rock, and even Vanilla Ice—because apparently, he walked so the others could run. Honestly, this might be the most passionate people have been about granite since the actual Mount Rushmore.Source High School Students Are Now Learning How to Sleep No, you’re not dreaming. High schools are now literally teaching kids how to sleep. Mansfield Senior High in Ohio added a sleep course to help students improve their sleep hygiene. And it’s not just them—schools across the U.S. are hopping on the nap train, adding sleep lessons to health classes. Why? Studies show teens are getting as little as 60% of the sleep they need, which experts say is linked to rising mental health issues, behavioral problems, and chronic absenteeism. Teens are supposed to get 8–10 hours a night, but most are running on about six. No wonder they’re exhausted.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

Don’t Exercise—Just Speed-Vacuum?! + Frosting Is the Latest TikTok Snack
The Headlines: New Study Says Rushing Through Chores = Actual Exercise TikTok Trend: People Are Eating Frosting Straight from the Jar Happy Gilmore Returns to Theaters Before Sequel Drops Health Hack: Just Do Everything Faster Not into working out? You might be off the hook—kind of. A new study in Circulation says that rushing through daily chores might give you some of the same health perks as actual exercise. Researchers followed 24,000 people who didn’t regularly work out. The ones who did things like speed-vacuuming, briskly taking out the trash, or power-walking to the mailbox had dramatically better heart health. Some even cut their risk of heart attack or stroke in HALF. And get this: even five minutes of “fast living” a day made a difference. So if your life already feels like a chaotic sprint, congrats—you’re basically training for a marathon.Source TikTok’s Latest Snack Trend: Frosting, No Cake Required TikTok is out here ruining dinner again, and this time it’s with straight-up frosting. It all started when creator Audrey Rose posted a video eating Funfetti frosting out of the tub, calling it “like yogurt, but unhealthy.” Boom—11 million views and a nationwide Funfetti shortage later, we have a trend. Experts say a spoonful is fine...just maybe don’t demolish a whole tub in one sitting. But if you’re looking to spice up your next grocery trip, that neon-blue frosting is now officially snack food.Source "Happy Gilmore" Returns to Theaters Before Netflix Sequel Before Happy Gilmore 2 hits Netflix on July 25th, the original Adam Sandler classic is coming back to theaters for two days only: April 27 and April 30.

Shortage of Cousins?! + OpenAI Might Launch a Social Media Platform
The Headlines: TikTok Sparks Panic Over a “Cousin Shortage” OpenAI May Be Creating Its Own Social Media Platform Yes, Apparently There’s a “Cousin Shortage” Now It sounds like a punchline, but the New York Post says there’s now a “shortage of cousins”—and it’s all over TikTok. A Millennial mom went viral explaining how kids today just don’t have the same cousin-packed family gatherings that she did growing up. Why? Declining birth rates. While the math checks out—Millennials are having fewer kids than their parents did—people are losing it online over how different family dynamics look now.Instead of a dozen chaotic cousins at Thanksgiving, her kids have two or three cousins total. No shortage of viral content, though.Source OpenAI Is Reportedly Building a Social Media Platform Move over Instagram—OpenAI might be coming for your screen time. According to The Verge, OpenAI is in the early development stages of a new social media network based on its image generation tools. It’s still unclear if it’ll be a standalone app or part of ChatGPT, but the concept seems focused on AI-generated visual content as the centerpiece. This move comes shortly after Elon Musk offered $97 billion to buy OpenAI—which Sam Altman declined, offering to buy X instead for the same amount.

Bernie Sanders Shocks Coachella Crowd + Weird Trick to Hear Better in Loud Bars
The Headlines: Bernie Sanders Opens for Clairo at Coachella: “Your Generation Decides the Future” Tapping Your Finger Might Help You Hear Better in Loud Bars, Study Says Bernie Sanders Hit the Coachella Stage—and No, That’s Not a Typo In a totally unexpected twist, Senator Bernie Sanders took the stage at Coachella this weekend—not to sing, but to introduce Clairo’s set and drop some serious wisdom. “This country faces some very difficult challenges,” Sanders told the crowd. “The future of what happens to America is dependent upon your generation.” He wasn’t alone in making headlines. Other wild moments from weekend one included: Lady Gaga pulling out a show-stopping set Benson Boone bringing out Queen legend Brian May And yes, Weird Al Yankovic made his Coachella debut—during Yo Gabba Gabba’s set, no less. So yeah… Coachella 2025 is already doing the most.Source Can't Hear at the Bar? Try Tapping Your Finger If you've ever been in a bar so loud that you start nodding and laughing at random just to survive the convo—you’re not alone. But science says there may be a fix: tap your finger. Researchers in France found that when participants lightly tapped their finger while listening in noisy environments, they could understand speech more clearly. Why? Experts think the brain’s motor and auditory regions might be weirdly connected, so the rhythmic motion helps your brain filter sound better. It sounds bizarre, but next time you’re yelling “WHAT?!” for the fourth time at a bar, it might be worth a try.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!
