Let's break out of the bubble and see what's happening out there in pop culture.
It's swiper stay on daybreak.
So anybody who's never listened to us before, welcome into swiper stay.
I know crazy, but welcome.
I'm going to read some pop culture headlines.
Brian and Parker are going to have to decide whether to stay and hear more and discuss it or swipe onto the next one.
So guys, without further ado, let's get on to story number one.
Celebrity wellness brand starts layoffs.
Celebrity?
Ooh!
Somebody who is preaching to us is not doing well?
I like it.
Stay.
Oh, wellness brands.
Eh, I feel well enough.
I'm gonna swipe.
Wow, Parker, you need more fiber.
You do need more fiber.
You should eat some oatmeal.
Everybody tells me.
We're going to stay.
We're going
to stay.
Guess what?
This one's quick.
That's why I'm staying on it.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow's wellness brand, Goop, has begun a round of playoffs at the company.
Now, here's the twist.
Here's why we're talking about this.
Yes.
They cited profitability, as they always do, and AI.
There's no exact number given, but it's likely up to 20 employees at the company that are laid off.
A spokesperson for the company justified the layoff saying Goop, like many companies, is adapting to a shifting landscape and finding new ways to operate more efficiently, which is a great way of saying, hey, we've got computers to take over these people's jobs, so we don't need them anymore.
Correct.
Computers
don't need
benefits.
There's a lot of talk about AI and how much is too much and you know, are we trending in the right direction is a good thing.
Well, here's put one in the cons column.
Yeah, that we do.
We're starting to see companies look at and go, hmm.
And I think it's not only what's already out there that we can replace, but what's something new we can do so we can eliminate more jobs and people already had more profitable.
People already had question opinions about Gwyneth Paltrow anyway.
Yeah,
because of this whole goop thing.
Does anybody like her?
I used to really, really like it.
Did you as an actress?
Yeah.
Back in the day,
just an Iron
Man.
No, before that too, Shakespeare,
shallow hell.
And I liked her as the wife in seven.
I liked her in shallow hell.
I thought she was a really good actress.
I really liked her and I thought she was very pretty.
Then she got goop and she was steaming the ladies VJJs and bedazzling body parts and this whole goop thing was a little out there and it's part of the cycle.
We build the celebrities up and then we love to tear them down.
True that.
Moving on to story number two.
Billionaire takes shots at award-winning director.
A little beef?
I like it.
There is beef.
Parker likes beef.
I'll say where's the beef Frank?
Stay.
Oh, this will get the juices flowing in the morning.
So Elon Musk.
Oh, she is taking aim at director Christopher Nolan over his casting choices for the upcoming movie of the Odyssey.
Oh, who cares?
I hear that.
According to Matt Damon
is coming out nine
weekends from
now.
That was
part of
his monologue
the other
night on Saturday.
The Tesla billionaire and owner of X.
I started retweeting posts accusing Nolan of being a coward for casting Lupita Nyong'o as the role of Helen of Troy.
Okay, why?
Lupita Nyong'o is a very talented actress.
As you could allude to a lot of people on the far right wing.
Ooh, can I guess?
You can go ahead and guess.
Is it a pigmentation problem?
It is a pigmentation problem.
Oh, they.
They said Homer, the Greek poet who wrote this.
Oh,
I'm sorry.
Wrong
one.
Wrong one.
Um, regarding Helen of Troy is fair skinned and that casting Lupita Nyong'o is dancing on the grave of Homer and what he would have wanted.
So yeah,
there's a lot of grotesque tweets that Elon Musk retweeted.
These
are the same idiots who got mad because the little mermaid was black in the live action.
It just, it's, they're made up characters, friends.
You know, it's not a biography.
Also Lupita Nyong'o is a great actress.
I don't know what I
don't see.
That was what I
said first.
She was a great, she's a great actress.
Too many people get caught up in too many things that just don't matter.
But yeah, there's a lot of grotesque tweets.
I'm not going to go too much further into detail because it's really bad.
I'm sure they didn't think, uh, you know, they're going to be mad that Matt Damon is sounding like Matt Damon and not some ancient Greek character.
Do you think he's going up to Sillen Caribbas asking if they like apples?
Parker, that's a good will hunting.
That's a Goodwill hunting reference, Parker.
I have seen.
All right.
All right.
TV star becomes pro athlete.
Oh, stay.
I'm interested today.
Boys is Richmond Greyhound.
Danny Rojas says football is life.
Ted Lasso star, Chris O'Fernandez has signed a professional soccer contract in real life with the El Paso Locomotive FC, the USL championship club.
announced this over on X on Tuesday.
Wow.
We still don't have any details of the deal that was signed.
He's 35 years old.
He originally played youth soccer in Mexico before a drastic knee injury at 15 derailed his career.
And then he went on to star in Ted Lasso as Danny Rojas.
And now he's back.
I know he tried out for the Chicago fire and didn't make that team.
Oh, did he?
He did.
But now he did find a place to land.
So like, wow,
that's cool.
And you know what, 35, if he gets in a few games, he's a good draw for that, for the El Paso team.
And I don't know him personally.
I like the character Danny Rojas on Ted Lasso.
It's a great character and football is life, Frank.
It's a win win.
Everybody
lives in that story.
They're going to sell tickets.
He's going to be able to walk away and say that he did it, right?
Yeah.
Climb the mountain.
Right.
And I think that's really what this is about.
So he's still on a
hit show that's coming back for another season
this summer.
Yeah, I can't wait.
Season four.
All right.
That's swiper stay boys.
Thank you, Frank.
That was very nice.
It's nice to end swiper stay on an up note.
A win win for everybody.
