Let's break out of the bubble and see what's happening out there in pop culture.
It's Swiper's Day on Daybreak.
Friday edition of Swiper's Day, I'm going to read some pop culture headlines.
Brian and Jamie will have to decide whether to swipe on to the next one or stay and hear more about the story.
In the event of a tie, producer Parker gets to be the tiebreaker.
Story number one, Taylor Swift drops a massive hint.
Ooh.
Do I care about Taylor Swift?
It's going to be wedding.
This could be album.
This could be a lot of stuff.
I'm
going to swipe.
I'll make it.
I'll make my decision
fast.
I'll stay.
I'll stay.
Parker.
Oh, I'm in the same boat as Jamie.
I don't know what it could possibly be about.
I'm staying.
Swifties lost their minds yesterday because Taylor's website featured yet another infamous countdown.
However, this countdown's background featured the clouds from Andy's room from Toy Story.
Really?
Interesting.
See,
Brian?
It's
interesting.
I didn't say it wasn't interesting.
I said it didn't interest me.
But
now I'm
interested.
Now it does.
Now
I am.
Is she going
to
have a song in Toy Story 5?
Is she a
voice of a
character?
Those are the two rumors right now.
The countdown.
only counted down to May 2nd, aka tomorrow.
However, as soon as people noticed what was happening, it was pulled from her website.
So we don't know if this was, I think it was a misfire.
We used to get
everybody talking.
Yeah, I think this was supposed to launch at a later date and somebody was coding the website and accidentally published.
Do you screw up like that with Taylor Swift?
Normally, no.
One
time.
Yeah.
I have a feeling her dad's going to make sure that that never happens again, as manager to Taylor Swift.
Tree
pain, her publicist is.
T-Pain is her publicist?
Tree pain.
Tree.
I thought you said T-Pain.
No, that would be.
T-Pain is a savant.
Who knew?
Marketing genius.
He was on a boat.
All right.
But no.
As you guys said, we don't know if she's got a new song for the Toy Story movie or she's going to be a voice in it, or this was just somebody goofing off and joked around.
Interesting.
We'll see.
They mistook May 1st for April 1st.
I was just going to say.
All right, so this is a story that might wake you up.
I don't know if you guys saw this.
A J.P.
Morgan executive is being sued for sexually abusing an employee.
Stay.
JP Morgan is finance.
Who would?
How does this tie into?
Yes.
Stay.
You'll give me all the answers.
I have questions.
This is everywhere.
Parker's already laughing.
So Parker, I'm assuming you.
I read a little bit of this.
Yeah.
I know this isn't like celebrity news, but this is the talk of town right now.
It's pop culture.
Let's go, brother.
So obviously this is not really a new thing in the corporate world when it comes to abuse of power.
However, I will say this is a bit of a twist to it.
J.P.
Morgan, executive director Lorna Hajini has been accused by a male employee for making him her quote sex slave at work.
Wow.
He says his female boss made his life a living hell, ordering him to fornicate with her and threatening to destroy his career when he wouldn't.
Whoa.
Now accepting applications.
Oh, Brian, I'm glad you made the joke.
A lot of people are.
I've been sent many
memes,
many
videos.
Now there are more lewd details to this story.
And if you want to hear more, I implore you to go look them up because there are things I cannot say.
Jump on the
stream for the show within the show.
It is a wild story.
Laura Hajini has denied all allegations.
Wow.
It is bananas.
Holy smokes.
All
right.
Glad
we stayed on that.
That's exciting
on
a Friday.
Right.
See, we woke you up.
All right.
All right.
Next one.
Olivia Rodrigo, Angers Midwest fans.
How'd she do that?
She's gonna be on Saturday Night Live, I think, tomorrow.
She is.
I think a stay will stay.
Yeah, why'd she?
Yeah,
I'm a Midwester.
Midwester.
All right.
I don't even know who you are.
See, I know how to hook you in.
I know how to get you.
No, I wanna.
Ryan doesn't care about Olivia Rodrigo's music.
She's a singer, right?
Yes.
She is.
Okay.
Yeah.
Why'd she upset us?
So after dropping a new hit single and announcing an album, a tour was sure to follow and yesterday Olivia Rodrigo announced the unraveled tour and a lot of fans are upset.
And I'm talking about the fans that live in the Midwest.
Rodrigo will only be playing four total shows in the Midwest.
two nights at the United Center in Chicago and two nights at the shot and scene center in Columbus, Ohio.
And that is it.
Wow.
There is no Minneapolis tour date.
There is no Milwaukee tour date.
There's no Indianapolis tour date.
She is skipping.
There's no Detroit tour date.
Wow.
This is it.
Just those two cities and four nights and people are pissed off.
That seems
like
horrible tour management.
Now, here's the other interesting thing.
Olivia Rodrigo's mom is born and raised in Milwaukee.
So skipping the state of Wisconsin has a lot of people upset.
Now, is there a potential she could add more dates?
So there is a theory that there will be a second leg of the tour because she's mostly the East Coast, the West Coast with just those two dates in the Midwest.
But you also look at people like Harry Styles, who came to the U is coming to the U S and is only doing a residency at Madison Square Garden and isn't even going over to the West Coast.
Wow.
So I don't know what to think of this.
Well, he's
busy.
He's
got wedding plans.
I
think it's time for all Midwesterners to turn against Olivia Rodrigo,
earn
her albums, take to the streets and just tell her.
we don't want you here in the Midwest.
Brian is going to be going home and destroying his sour and his guts albums.
Sorry to hear that.
That's swipe or say.
Don't even know those
words you
just used.
