Let's break out of the bubble and see what's happening out there in pop culture.
It's swipers day on daybreak.
Zomers, welcome into swiping.
Yes, you actually play a very important role in this.
Do I even without Jamie?
Even without Jamie.
You are actually, actually, especially without Jamie because it's good to know Parker didn't explain any of our bits to you.
That's great.
Parker just takes off.
What's the show about?
It's about three hours.
See ya.
About three hours.
Here you go.
Bye.
Here's my password.
So here's how this works, Amherst.
I'm going to read some vague pop culture headlines.
Now, usually Brian and Jamie have to decide whether to stay on the story and hear more about it or swipe to the next one.
However, Jamie's not in.
Parker's not in.
So you along with Brian get to make that decision.
And if you guys can't decide, then I will be the tiebreaker.
OK, gotcha.
Which
sounds good.
We're going to do the story.
Which, hey, you know what?
Sometimes I don't like the story.
Really?
And I'll swipe.
And you brought it anyway.
Look, you don't know.
All right, let's just get to it.
Let's move on.
Let's do it.
All right, ex-celebrity accountant indicted.
Normally, a story about an accountant would be a snooze festival.
But I want to know whose money this guy stole.
I'm going to stay.
Yeah, I think I'm with you on this one.
Hulk Hogan's ex-accountant is facing federal charges for allegedly stealing more than $890,000 from a unnamed public figure in Florida.
Wow.
So Melissa Guthrough.
has been charged with six counts of wire fraud after the feds say that she used her business accounting resources and management services to embezzle enormous amounts of money between 2017 and 2021.
She worked for Hulk Hogan before his death.
Goothrow faces up to 20 years in federal prison for each count if she is convicted.
She didn't need her vitamins to say her prayers, brother.
No, for all I mean, of all the people you're going to embezzle money from.
Hulk Hogan's like one of the scariest dudes.
Well, I guess he used to
be used to be used.
Then he was just a crazed crazed right winger wasting away.
Brother, have you tried my beer?
I was going to say, what was like the America beer?
That was, I don't know, but I know it was in a blind dollar barrel at a minor league baseball game I went to where if you paid a buck, you could reach into this garbage can and pull out a mystery beer and Hulk Hogan's ale was in there.
How did you try
it?
Awful.
Was it bad?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm just checking.
What do you
expect?
It's made from
the sweat of Hulkamaniacs.
Yeah, I don't I don't know.
Is it like just bad flavor?
Are we talking like Natty Light like really
cheap?
It's just cheap, nasty beer.
Meh.
All right, moving on to story number two.
Hold on one second because Google Docs just signed me out mid-segment.
That's not ideal.
That happened to me this morning too.
Signed out everything was there was some sort of technical weirdness happening.
I don't mind you signing me out earlier or later.
No, right
in the middle of the segment.
We're good.
It's OK.
We're back.
Here we go.
Best actor nominee caught in road rage incident.
This is going to ruin the tour.
I'm going to
say I'm
going to stay because I know this is also someday going to be my fate.
OK, we'll put our
camera in a roadway to the incident.
I wasn't sure.
But now that we have the potential look into Brian's psyche, I'm in.
Video was released of Academy Award nominated actor and Marvel superhero Benedict Cumberbatch.
Doctor Strange.
Doctor Strange got in a heated argument with a fellow bicyclist.
That's right.
Road rage.
If you're on a bike in England, it sure can.
OK, that's right.
Two grown men on their bicycles got into a road rage argument.
Allegedly, the other cyclist was angry with Cumberbatch for not following the rules of the road.
Apparently, Dr. Strange ran a couple of red lights on his bicycle.
Oh, boy.
And he didn't use his little bell.
Correct.
All right.
At one point, Gump, Cumberbatch, uh, proclaimed that he was being verbally abused in public.
Wow.
I know.
Big news coming out of England across the pond.
Well, it shows that my distaste for cyclists on the roads is international.
Same.
But is there anything more embarrassing than video coming out about you arguing with another dude on a bicycle with
your helmet on?
And you're
both guessing they both
have bike shorts, uh, tight compression bike shorts, or they have the little bands around their pant legs.
Thankfully for them, they did not have that, but they were both wearing helmets, which hard to look tough.
Beloved sitcom house is opening to the public.
Swipe.
I'm also going to go swipe.
All right.
Grammy winning musician is suing Samsung.
Oh,
I think I saw this headline.
I did not read the story.
I will stay.
I will as well.
I want to know who it is.
Any guesses?
Sabrina Carpenter.
It is.
That was a really good guess, but it's not Sabrina.
Summers.
I am going to guess Kendrick Lamar.
It is not Kendrick Lamar.
It is Dua Lipa.
Dua Lipa has beef with Samsung now for using a copyrighted photo of her on the sides of their TV boxes without permission.
You can't do that.
Really?
You cannot.
Zomers, you know, you're in charge of a lot of things around here.
We talk about copyrighted audio a lot in our industry.
And we're sticklers on it.
However, I can't imagine manufacturing boxes to sell TVs with a copyrighted photo of Dua Lipa from Austin City Limits Music Festival right on the side of the box.
How do you let that one go?
Anyway, we're running out of time.
Dua Lipa is suing Samsung for $15 million.
Wow.
That is crazy.
All right.
Well, Frank, another stellar edition of swipe or stay.
We do it every morning at seven 20.
So come back tomorrow for our respite.
