Holiday Trends You Won’t Believe Are a Thing!

In This Episode: March Madness could cost the U.S. economy $20 billion in lost productivity Drake’s own record label says he lost his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar A Maine entrepreneur is making hair extensions out of seaweed Sources: March Madness and Its Impact on the Economy – Action Network Drake's Own Label Says He Lost His Rap Battle with Kendrick Lamar Mariner Creating Seaweed Hair Extensions to Replace Synthetic Ones March Madness Costs Billions in Productivity The madness isn’t just on the court—it’s also in the workplace. A new survey suggests that March Madness could cost the U.S. economy $20 billion in lost productivity. From employees getting “distracted” on the clock to the 40% of people who admit to calling in sick just to watch games, the tournament has a real impact beyond just busted brackets. Drake’s Label Turns on Him Over Kendrick Beef Drake is suing Universal Music Group, accusing them of favoring Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us—a song that straight-up calls him a pedophile. But Universal isn’t having it. In their legal filing, they argue that Drake is only suing because he “lost a rap battle that he provoked” and is now throwing a lawsuit-sized tantrum. Even if you’re Team Drake, this might not be his best move. Seaweed Hair Extensions: The Future of Beauty? A Maine entrepreneur is making headlines with a seaweed-based alternative to synthetic hair extensions. Traditional extensions contain chemicals like lead and carcinogens, posing health risks to users. This new eco-friendly option could help reduce plastic waste in the beauty industry—while still making a whole lot of money. Will seaweed be the next big beauty trend? Time will tell.

In This Episode: Tesla’s self-driving feature gets tricked by a fake Wile E. Coyote-style road wall Gen Z is "revenge quitting" jobs to get back at employers Apple's first foldable iPhone could cost double the iPhone 16 Pro Max Sources: Tesla Autopilot drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. lidar test Gen Z is ‘revenge quitting’ as payback for employers’ alleged ‘unfair treatment’ — causing chaos at the office Apple's First Foldable iPhone Estimated to Cost Nearly Twice as Much as iPhone 16 Pro Max Tesla vs. Wile E. Coyote Popular YouTuber Mark Rober put Tesla’s self-driving technology to the test in a scene straight out of Looney Tunes. He set up a massive fake road wall painted to look like the road continued, just like something Wile E. Coyote would use against the Road Runner. The result? The Tesla drove straight into it without hesitation, proving that while self-driving tech has improved, it's still no match for classic cartoon trickery. Gen Z’s ‘Revenge Quitting’ Movement A new workplace trend has Gen Z employees quitting their jobs in the most inconvenient ways possible as a form of protest against perceived unfair treatment. Whether it's leaving in the middle of a shift or dropping a resignation notice with zero warning, this movement is causing major disruptions in offices everywhere. With TikTok driving the trend, some say it's empowering, while others argue it's just making work environments even more chaotic. Apple’s Foldable iPhone Price Shock Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone is estimated to have a jaw-dropping starting price of around $2,300—nearly double the cost of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to an investor research note, this would make it Apple’s priciest iPhone ever. While foldable tech is gaining traction, the big question is whether customers will shell out that much cash just to have a bendy screen.

The Headlines: Kanye West Drops New Song Featuring Diddy and His Daughter, North – Read more Sweatpant Jeans Are the Latest Emerging Fashion Trend – Read more Forever 21 Files for Bankruptcy Protection (Again) – Read more Kanye West Drops New Song Featuring Diddy and His Daughter, North Kanye West is back with a new track — and it’s already causing drama. Ye just dropped a surprise song featuring Diddy, Diddy's son Christian "King" Combs, and his daughter North West — despite Kim Kardashian’s attempts to block him from involving North in his music. Kim had reportedly asked a judge to prevent Kanye from putting North in any of his projects, but that didn’t seem to stop him. No official statement from Kim yet, but the track is already making waves online — and North’s part is being called "adorable" by some fans and "inappropriate" by others. 👉 Full Story Sweatpant Jeans Are the Latest Emerging Fashion Trend Sweatpants or jeans? Why not both? The latest fashion trend to hit the streets is sweatpant jeans — sweatpants designed to look like denim. They have the appearance of classic jeans, but with the soft, stretchy comfort of sweatpants. Brands like American Eagle and ASOS are jumping on the trend, and celebs have already been spotted rocking the look. If you’ve been trying to balance style and comfort, this might be your new go-to. 👉 Full Story Forever 21 Files for Bankruptcy Protection (Again) It’s the end of an era (maybe). Forever 21 has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection — for the second time — as mall traffic continues to decline and competition from online giants like Amazon, Temu, and Shein heats up. F21 OpCo, which runs the retail chain, announced plans to wind down its U.S. business while exploring whether it can survive with a partner or if it will need to sell off assets. This follows its first bankruptcy filing back in 2019, which led to store closures and restructuring — but clearly, the comeback didn’t stick. 👉 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!

On the latest episode of Jason and Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast, Jason Sudeikis confirmed that Ted will be coaching a women’s team in season four. This follows the seed planted in the season three finale when Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) suggested to Richmond owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) that the club start a women’s team. Sudeikis didn’t give away too much more about the plot, but the idea of Ted leading a women’s squad already has fans buzzing about how it could change the dynamic of the show — and maybe even give Richmond a fresh start. 👉 Full Story Ed Sheeran Surprises New Orleans With a Pop-Up Performance Ed Sheeran knows how to make an entrance — and this time, it was in the heart of New Orleans. On Saturday, March 15, the 34-year-old Grammy winner shocked fans when he stepped out of a black SUV in the French Quarter wearing a tie-dyed tee and blue pants. Armed with a portable amp and mic, Sheeran started singing his new single “Azizam” — and was soon joined by The Soul Rebels brass band (who you might remember from Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show). Fans were stunned by the intimate, impromptu show, with some calling it "pure magic."

The Headlines: "Divorce Dust" TikTok Trend Is Taking Over – Read more Trader Joe’s Is Turning Their Most Popular Treat Into A Beer – Read more A "John Wick" Experience Is Now Open In Las Vegas – Read more "Divorce Dust" TikTok Trend Is Taking Over A new TikTok trend called "Divorce Dust" has women covering themselves in glitter before going on dates — and it’s exactly as messy as it sounds. The idea behind it? If a man is married or in a relationship and gets intimate with someone covered in glitter, the evidence will likely transfer back home, raising suspicion with his partner. Women are intentionally using glitter on their bodies and clothes, hoping to leave a "glitter trail" that could expose cheating. Some TikTokers are calling it genius, while others think it’s messy and over-the-top. Either way, the glitter trend is gaining traction fast — and might just be the sparkly downfall of some unfaithful partners. 👉 Full Story Trader Joe’s Is Turning Their Most Popular Treat Into A Beer Trader Joe’s is taking its cult-favorite Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and turning them into a beer — and it’s as decadent as you’d expect! Teaming up with Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, Trader Joe’s has created a Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter with rich cocoa notes and a smooth, nutty finish. At 9.2% ABV, this imperial porter is strong enough to count as dessert on its own. It’s part of a lineup of exciting spring releases at TJ’s, which also includes Tarongino Orange Wine, Black Garlic Cream Cheese, and a variety of Easter-themed sweets. If you’re a dessert beer fan, this might be your new go-to. 👉 Full Story A "John Wick" Experience Is Now Open In Las Vegas If you’ve ever wanted to step into the world of John Wick, now’s your chance. A "John Wick Experience" just opened at Area15 in Las Vegas, and it’s straight out of the movies. Directed by Chad Stahelski and his team at 87Eleven Entertainment, the experience puts guests in the middle of a mission inspired by the "John Wick" franchise. Visitors will navigate a 12,000-square-foot space, encountering crime bosses, assassins, and Continental staff along the way. The experience also includes two themed bars and a retail shop. According to Jenefer Brown, EVP & Head of Global Products and Experiences at Lionsgate, the goal was to make guests feel like they are "truly part of the world of the films." 👉 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!

The Headlines: People Keep Mistaking Nail Glue for Eye Drops – Read more SpaceX Mission To Bring Starliner Astronauts Home Postponed Due To Hydraulic Issue – Read more People Keep Mistaking Nail Glue for Eye Drops Double-check that label before using eye drops! A TikToker named BreezyBre is in the news after she accidentally grabbed a tiny bottle of fingernail glue instead of eye drops — and ended up gluing her eyes shut. BreezyBre posted a video from the emergency room after the mishap, saying she was in "so much pain." A brand called Kiss sells fingernail glue in bottles that look almost identical to eye drops, which is causing the mix-up. Doctors say this is becoming a more common problem as more people unknowingly mistake the similar packaging. BreezyBre’s situation required immediate medical attention to carefully remove the glue from her eye area without causing permanent damage. Thankfully, she’s okay now — but maybe store your nail glue and eye drops in different places from now on! 👉 Full Story SpaceX Mission To Bring Starliner Astronauts Home Postponed Due To Hydraulic Issue NASA has postponed yet another attempt to launch a mission to retrieve two stranded astronauts from the International Space Station (ISS). Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have been stuck on the ISS ever since their Boeing Starliner spacecraft suffered mechanical issues, making it unsafe for them to return aboard it. NASA had hoped to launch the SpaceX Crew-10 mission yesterday from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but the flight was scrubbed due to a hydraulic issue. The next attempt is now scheduled for Friday at the earliest — provided engineers can resolve the technical problem. This mission is critical not only to bring Wilmore and Williams home but also to help assess the future reliability of the Boeing Starliner, which has faced multiple setbacks since its development. 👉 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!

The Headlines: Chef Richard Corrigan Critiques Meghan Markle's Netflix Cooking Show – Read more Southwest Airlines To Charge For Checked Bags In Economy For First Time – Read more Chef Richard Corrigan Critiques Meghan Markle's Netflix Cooking Show Celebrated chef Richard Corrigan, known for preparing meals for the Royal Family, isn’t impressed with Meghan Markle’s new Netflix cookery and lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan. "I admit I watched With Love, Meghan – it's a bit pretentious," the Irish chef told The Daily Mail. "I don't like the pretence. California is all very Hollywood, it's all very samey – Britain is not like that." Corrigan’s comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that the show feels "overly polished," while others have defended Meghan's attempt to share her passion for cooking and lifestyle tips. 👉 Full Story Southwest Airlines To Charge For Checked Bags In Economy For First Time Southwest Airlines may soon charge passengers for checked bags, a major departure from its long-standing "bags fly free" policy. The airline is under pressure to boost profits as fuel prices and other expenses continue to rise. CEO Bob Jordan confirmed that introducing bag fees is one of several strategies being considered to increase revenue. If implemented, it would mark a major shift from the airline’s signature selling point. In addition, Southwest plans to end its "open seating" policy in the first half of 2026. Amtrak took a swipe at the airline on X, posting, "Guess we're the only ones doing free baggage now," and reminding travelers that they can bring one personal item (up to 25 pounds) and two carry-on items (up to 50 pounds each) for free. 👉 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!
