Amazon Bids for TikTok, First-Grader’s Diamond Ring, and New iPhone Emojis

In This Episode:

  • Amazon Makes a Last-Minute Bid for TikTok – With a U.S. ban looming, Amazon steps in to try and acquire the popular app.

  • First-Grader Proposes with a Real Diamond Ring – A young girl gets a surprising gift from her new “boyfriend.”

  • New iPhone Emojis Drop – Apple sneaks in fresh ways to express yourself, including a very relatable exhausted face.

Amazon Makes a Last-Minute Bid for TikTok

As the U.S. prepares to ban TikTok over national security concerns, Amazon has jumped into the mix with a late bid to buy the platform. The offer was reportedly presented to Vice President JD Vance and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, as President Trump awaits a deal before Saturday’s deadline. Other major players, including Oracle, Blackstone, and several investment groups, are also in the running. Meanwhile, Perplexity AI has suggested a new approach—rebuilding TikTok’s algorithm to meet U.S. privacy standards. With time running out, will Amazon come out on top?

First-Grader Asks Classmate to Be His Girlfriend with a Diamond Ring

Young love took an expensive turn when a first-grader gifted his crush a real diamond ring to win her over. Allie Phillips shared the hilarious moment on TikTok after her daughter came home with the jewelry, announcing she had a new boyfriend. The boy, Trevor, had taken the ring from his great-grandmother without anyone knowing. Once his mom saw Phillips’ Facebook post, the family quickly got the ring back—hopefully along with a lesson for Trevor about borrowing valuables.

iPhone Users Have New Ways to Express Themselves

Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 update has quietly dropped eight new emojis, including a harp, a fingerprint, and a flag. But one in particular has caught everyone’s attention—the “exhausted” emoji. Featuring dark under-eye bags and an exasperated expression, it perfectly captures how many of us feel on a daily basis. If you’ve been waiting for a more accurate way to show your tiredness, Apple has you covered.

Eyelash trimming. Yes, some men are now cutting their lashes in an effort to look more "manly." On TikTok, the trend has taken off, with men posting clips of their barbers using electric razors to shave their lash lines. The idea is that shorter lashes make their faces appear more rugged and less "feminine." Reactions have been mixed.

But experts warn that trimming lashes could lead to eye irritation, increased sensitivity, and potential damage to the eyes. Regardless, the trend seems to be gaining traction online. 👉 Full Story New TikTok Feature Tells Teens To Go To Bed After 10 PM TikTok is rolling out new features aimed at helping teens develop better nighttime habits.

Drake Hints at a New Chapter and Fans Are "Uneasy"

Drake Hints at a New Chapter and Fans Are "Uneasy"

The Headlines: Drake Is About to Make Us Feel "Uneasy" – Read more People Are Selling "Bank Soil" For Good Luck In China – Read more Drake Is About to Make Us Feel "Uneasy" Drake is ready to… well, we don’t exactly know what. In an Instagram post, he said, “This next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy, but I hope you see my honesty as clarity not charity.” No word yet on what he’s hinting at—new music, beef with Kendrick Lamar, or maybe something else entirely. In the post, Drake reflected on his non-confrontational nature, saying he’s treated the rap game as a sport where his “pen won gold.” But now, he’s addressing the “unanswered texts” and teasing that something big is coming. The post included a photo of two Zofran tablets—a medication used to treat nausea and vomiting. Whether this is a reference to nerves or something deeper remains to be seen. Fans are speculating wildly, but for now, we’ll have to wait and see what Drake has up his sleeve. 👉 Full Story People Are Selling "Bank Soil" For Good Luck In China In China, people are spending up to $120 on small bags of soil reportedly collected from major banks—yes, actual dirt from bank premises, including potted plants inside the buildings. The belief? That this “bank soil” will attract wealth and dispel negative energy. Some vendors claim a “99.999% success rate” in generating wealth and even post videos showing them collecting soil from major banks like the Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to assure buyers of authenticity. Despite the high price tag and the questionable logic, demand is growing. Some business owners believe the soil will enhance their financial success. Financial experts, however, are urging people to focus on financial planning instead of relying on dirt for luck. But hey—if it works, it works! 👉 Full Story Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

Reflecting on COVID-19's Five-Year Mark and the Latest on Wendy Williams

Reflecting on COVID-19's Five-Year Mark and the Latest on Wendy Williams

The Headlines: Five Years Since COVID-19 Was Declared a Global Pandemic Wendy Williams Taken by Ambulance After Dropping a Desperate Note Innovative Solution to Banana Waste: The 12-Hour Fresh Banana Five Years Since COVID-19 Was Declared a Global PandemicOn March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, marking a significant turning point in modern history. The virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, rapidly spread worldwide, leading to unprecedented measures such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, and the widespread adoption of remote work and virtual communication tools. Over the past five years, COVID-19 has profoundly impacted global health, economies, and daily life, with over 7 million reported deaths worldwide, including 1.2 million in the United States. While the WHO declared the end of the global health emergency on May 5, 2023, the pandemic's effects continue to influence society today.👉 Read more Wendy Williams Taken by Ambulance After Dropping a Desperate NoteWendy Williams was taken from her New York assisted living facility by ambulance after reportedly dropping a handwritten note from her window, begging for help. The incident prompted a wellness check from law enforcement. Wendy’s struggles with health issues and legal battles over her financial guardianship have been widely publicized in recent years. The details surrounding the note and her condition remain unclear, but sources close to the situation say she is now receiving care.👉 Read more Innovative Solution to Banana Waste: The 12-Hour Fresh BananaFood waste remains a pressing global issue, particularly with perishable items like bananas. To address this, Tropic, a biotech company based in England, has developed a genetically modified banana that remains fresh for up to 12 hours after being peeled. This innovation aims to significantly reduce the staggering statistic that over 60% of exported bananas are wasted before reaching consumers. By extending the freshness of bananas, Tropic hopes to decrease food waste and reduce CO2 emissions along the supply chain by more than 25%, potentially equating to removing two million passenger vehicles from the road each year.👉 Read more Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

Comedy Club Bans Botox Users and Paris Train Services Disrupted by WWII Bomb

Comedy Club Bans Botox Users and Paris Train Services Disrupted by WWII Bomb

The stories: London comedy club bans audience members with Botox New York Post Unexploded WWII bomb disrupts Paris train services Reuters Chewing wood may boost brain power London Comedy Club Bans Audience Members with Botox The Top Secret Comedy Club in London has implemented a ban on attendees who have received Botox treatments. This decision comes after comedians expressed difficulties in gauging audience reactions due to "frozen" facial expressions resulting from Botox. The club's owner, Mark Rothman, emphasized that facial expressions are crucial for comedians to connect with their audience and maintain the atmosphere during performances. To enforce this policy, the club has introduced "expression tests" at the entrance to ensure guests can display appropriate reactions during shows. New York Post Unexploded WWII Bomb Disrupts Paris Train Services Train services at Paris's Gare du Nord station experienced significant disruptions following the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb near the tracks. The bomb was found during overnight maintenance work in the Saint-Denis suburb, leading to the suspension of services, including Eurostar trains between Paris and London. Authorities evacuated approximately 2,000 people as bomb disposal teams worked to safely defuse the device. The incident caused major travel disruptions, with several train departures canceled and services expected to resume only in the afternoon. The Times Chewing Wood May Boost Brain Power A recent study suggests that chewing on hard substances like wood could enhance brain function. The research indicates that such activity may increase levels of a naturally occurring antioxidant in the brain, potentially improving memory and cognitive abilities. Previous studies have also shown that chewing gum can significantly boost brain activity, offering a more palatable alternative to wood. Join us in this episode as we delve into these intriguing topics, exploring the intersection of health, safety, and the unexpected ways our daily habits can influence our well-being.

AI Wingmen on Dating Apps, The Psychology of Voice Pitch, and Rare Tupac Recordings for Sale

AI Wingmen on Dating Apps, The Psychology of Voice Pitch, and Rare Tupac Recordings for Sale

In this episode: AI bots are coming to dating apps to help users flirt and craft messages Scientists reveal how voice pitch changes based on social status Unreleased Tupac demo recordings are up for sale—but with a catch The details: Dating apps are rolling out AI wingmen to help users craft messages, pick the best profile photos, and even coach them on dating strategies. While some see this as a helpful tool, others worry it could remove the last bit of authenticity from online dating. Experts warn that those who rely too much on AI-generated conversations may struggle when it comes to actual face-to-face interactions. Meanwhile, researchers have discovered that the way we speak shifts depending on who we’re talking to. Studies show that people tend to use a higher pitch when speaking to someone they perceive as higher status, while dominant individuals lower their voices. So if you notice someone talking to you in their Minnie Mouse voice, they might just think you're important. And finally, rare early Tupac demo recordings from the early '90s are now up for sale for $250,000. The catch? The buyer won’t be able to release them publicly without permission from Tupac’s estate. While this might be a dream for collectors, it’s unclear if the music will ever see the light of day.Support the show: https://the-jubal-show.beehiiv.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Post Malone’s New Relationship, Packing Peanut Eating Trend, and the Generation Beta Debate

Post Malone’s New Relationship, Packing Peanut Eating Trend, and the Generation Beta Debate

Post Malone has moved on from his ex and is now dating Christy Lee, a Parsons School of Design student with experience in the fashion industry. While little is known about her, her background in styling and celebrity fashion suggests she has a strong creative side. The timeline of Posty’s split and new romance is making waves online, with fans speculating about when the relationship began. Meanwhile, TikTok has introduced yet another bizarre trend—people eating biodegradable packing peanuts. Some believe these starch-based peanuts are safe to eat since they dissolve in water, but health experts strongly advise against it, warning of digestive issues and contamination risks. Just because something is biodegradable doesn’t mean it’s food. Finally, the debate over "Generation Beta" is already stirring controversy. Some parents are upset about the name, arguing that "beta" carries a negative connotation, implying weakness. While it’s simply the next letter in the Greek alphabet, online discussions reveal concerns over the potential stigma attached to the term. Is this a real issue, or are people overreacting?

The One-Legged Pants Trend and the Selfie Lock Screen Debate

The One-Legged Pants Trend and the Selfie Lock Screen Debate

Against all logic, one-legged pants are actually catching on. This fashion trend, which first surfaced online months ago, is now selling out across retailers. Some influencers are even making DIY versions of these asymmetrical jeans. While fashionistas are divided on the look, viral videos of people mocking the trend suggest not everyone is on board. With some versions costing up to $440, are consumers just paying for the missing pant leg? Meanwhile, a new poll has sparked debate over whether having a selfie as your own phone’s lock screen is weird or totally normal. According to the poll, 32% of people say it’s fine, while 68% find it bizarre—especially if it’s just a solo selfie. Some argue it’s a good way to prove the phone is yours, but others think it signals vanity. We break down the conversation and the reactions it has sparked online.

What Does “Reheating Nachos” Mean?

What Does “Reheating Nachos” Mean?

“Reheating nachos” is the latest phrase taking over social media, and no—it’s not about actual food. According to Dexerto, the term is used to call out celebrities (or anyone, really) who try to recreate someone else’s style or vibe… but fail. Just like actual reheated nachos, the result can be soggy, disappointing, and nowhere near as good as the original. So next time you see a celeb desperately trying to pull off a Y2K look that just isn’t hitting, you know what to say. YouTube Premium Lite: A Cheaper Subscription Option YouTube just announced Premium Lite, a more affordable version of its ad-free subscription. At $8/month (compared to the full $14 Premium), it lets you watch most videos without ads—except for music and Shorts, where you’ll still see some. It’s perfect if you hate ads but don’t need every Premium feature.
