Let's break out of the bubble and see what's happening out there in pop culture.
It's Swiper Stay on Daybreak.
Everybody welcome into Swiper Stay.
I'm going to read some pop culture headlines and Jamie and Brian are going to have to decide to either stay and hear more or swipe on to the next one.
In the event of a tie, producer Parker gets to be the tiebreaker.
Story number one, pop stars ex-boyfriend speaks out to clear his name.
Oh, this could be a new normally I would swipe on this, but since Frank said it was a slow day, I'm sure he doesn't have a lot on the bench.
So I'm going to stay.
Stay on this.
I don't want
to.
I don't want to come on your shorty stay.
Yeah.
It's a pity stay.
A hundred percent pity stay.
We'll help you out today.
Thanks, guys.
Frank.
So we finally heard from Barry Kogan about his split with Sabrina Carpenter.
Now.
Kjogen was accused of cheating on Sabrina.
However, that was an unconfirmed rumor.
And his accused side chick did make a video at that time denying it.
However, is that her
official title?
The accused side
chick
accused
accused side piece.
Yes, I think that's it.
All right.
All right.
So he just appeared on a podcast this past weekend and said, I'm not asking for people to become my fan and like me because that's not normal either.
But I'm asking for people to stop assuming and also just stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way you can, involving my parents who are no longer with me, just absolutely disgusting and vile.
There's videos on TikTok literally going, I hate him.
Wow.
I mean, he's got a point.
Fans take things just a little too far.
Y'all like bullying thing is a problem, right?
It is.
Other than like Justin Bieber, because we see this kind of fierce devotion from fans of Beyonce and Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter.
Do we see that for male celebrities?
Are there groups of women who are that...
Or men fans, like it doesn't matter.
I think there's a strong faction of people that right now, actually, this is a really good point you bring up, Brian.
Right now, the internet split between Michael Jackson defenders and people pointing out a lot of flaws with the new movie.
So there's that's one male artist.
I think Chris Brown also has a sector of fans that really defend him.
But you're right, for the most part, male artists don't really get that.
And Barry Kogan's an actor, so I think people just disassociate him with his roles.
Back to Chris Brown several years ago when that whole Rihanna dust-up came and where she ended up with a black eye, it was appalling even then how many people defended him in that moment, saying that, you know, she probably was to blame and,
you know, he's got a
temper and, you know, it was so weird.
I was like,
OK, that was not
the
reaction I expected.
With the canceled culture in effect, you would think Chris Brown would be towards the top of that list.
However, he's going on tour with Usher right now.
So there you
go.
Lonely Island star reveals the SNL host that made him uncomfortable.
Now, for those of you that don't know, the Lonely Island is a comedy troupe that did all the digital shorts during like the mid 2000s.
Oh, I like a good SNL story.
We'll I'll stay.
Yeah,
I'll stay why not?
All right any guesses on who the host was
that made the Lonely Island crew uncomfortable.
Yes.
Oh, it's gotta be Wow host could be funky.
Yeah, I'm a stone.
I'll just say I'm a stone.
It is not Emma Stone.
Okay, Jamie any
guesses?
Oh Gosh, no, I don't have any guesses
All right, well, Jorma Tacone, one of the boys of the popular Lonely Island comedy troupe, they're the guys that made I'm on a boat, has revealed which host it was and it was Kevin Spacey.
Oh,
I get it.
All
right, I forgot that he'd even hosted.
He didn't go into specifics about why he made him uneasy, but just said for some reason he felt the vibe was off.
I think we know.
I don't think they need to give any details.
If you've
paid
any attention to the Spacey story, you know why they were, the vibe was off.
Right.
As Jamie alluded to, Spacey's been tied to multiple sexual assault allegations over the years, though he was cleared in a 2023 criminal trial in London.
Do we have time for one more?
Let's do one more, Frank.
Amazon looks to reboot the apprentice.
Oh God.
And they do have a host in mind.
All right.
Listen,
I'm going
to stay
just because, you know, I'm hooking Frank up.
I don't like both
of those games.
Oh, thanks, man.
Amazon, Amazon
or the
UK.
Thanks for doing me a solid.
Parker is already in Shambles
today.
I don't want him to make any hard decisions, so we'll stay.
Thank you.
So the Wall Street Journal has reported that Amazon is discussing a potential reboot of The Apprentice, the show once hosted by Donald Trump before becoming the president twice.
Talks are reportedly in the early stages as the reboot isn't inactive development.
However, the person that is that they are eyeing for the role is Donald Trump, Jr.
to carry on in his father's footsteps.
Pass.
I want to go back.
I
want
to retroactively go back and swipe.
I don't want to hear that.
I don't want to say
about that.
Why?
Well, nevermind.
Because why not?
But we don't like Nepo babies.
Just remember that.
No Nepo babies.
Wow.
Well, Frank,
for
state today, guys, because we're running out of time.
You're left us with a horrible taste.
