Let's break out of the bubble and see what's happening out there in pop culture.
It's Swiper Stay on Daybreak.
I'm going to read some pop culture headlines.
Brian and Jamie will have to decide whether to swipe onto the next story or stay and hear more.
Parker gets to be the tiebreaker if these two just can't decide.
Real
quick.
real quick before we get into swiper steak, because I didn't want this story on the swiper state portion because it's kind of weird.
Kyle Busch, the famous NASCAR driver, passed away unexpectedly yesterday at the age of 41.
Right now, we don't have much details as to why we just know that he was in poor health and it was very rapid.
We'll keep you updated if more stuff comes out next week, but.
It was
very strange because we
found out he passed away late in the afternoon.
And about four hours prior to that, there was news that he had been admitted to the hospital with a severe illness.
We'll put that in ear quotes.
And then within four hours, he had passed away.
So it was, if you're an Ascar fan, I mean, yeah, that's the race band.
That's pretty shocking.
It's rough.
All right.
On to the more lighthearted stuff.
Benign.
Famous guitar company sparks major controversy.
Oh, how many?
There's there's Gibson.
There's less Paul.
Let's Paul is Gibson.
I should stay.
I'm gonna stay.
Plus you're you play guitar.
So we'll dive
into this
story for you, Frank.
Stay.
Thank you.
Let me go down a real rabbit hole.
OK, so this is no, this is really interesting when it comes to trademark stuff.
OK, so thunder.
right now is quickly becoming the most hated guitar brand in the world.
This is thanks to a lawsuit that they won.
So back in March, Fender scored a default judgment against Chinese-based Yiwu Philharmonic Musical Instruments Company in the Düsseldorf region in Germany.
That set out that the strat was no, the vendor stratocaster was no longer a simple trademark, but a copyrighted work of applied art.
This is very important.
Wow.
Okay.
Therefore, in recent weeks after that ruling in Europe, multiple guitar makers have received letters from the law firm Bird & Bird informing them of the EU ruling and demanding that as a result, the brands in question cease producing guitars that use that type of guitar body.
They have to recall and destroy any existing unsold inventory, provide sales data on how many of these instruments have been sold and provide financial restitution for damages and legal fees.
Now.
I have two
birds for you.
If you're on the live stream and you're not sure what I'm talking about.
This is what we're talking about.
It is the stock image that you think of when you think electric guitar.
So Fender is coming out and saying, well, if this shape is a work of art, nobody can use this shape.
It's like a basic guitar shape, right?
It is the most
copied
basic guitar shape.
All acoustic guitars look exactly
the same.
So everybody's
Speaking out against Fender, two very important YouTubers that I even subscribe to have gone out on a limb and said, this is probably going to ruin my relationship with Fender, but this has to be stopped.
It's a huge issue right now.
I'm not sure where it's going to go, but Fender is really pissing people off.
That is
very
interesting.
I
know.
Yeah.
No,
that's fascinating about business and trademarking and arts and guitars and YouTube.
Like we know.
All right.
Moving on.
The Britney Spears DU IRS footage was released.
And yes, we do have audio.
So do you have audio?
I'm going to stay.
Otherwise,
I don't want to take.
I sure will stay.
Oh, yeah.
There we go.
All right.
The audio quality is not great, but if you listen close, listen, it's from the department, from on the scene, listen closely and you'll hear the
exchange.
Oh my
God.
That's good.
I guess that she never killed a man on a bike.
This is true.
Her mom did kill somebody on a motorcycle and a driving accident.
Wow.
Did she
basically call herself a Stepford wife?
Did I hear it?
She's always said it.
Basically, she's 100% literally
gay.
All right.
What did she take besides Prozac every morning?
I missed that first thing she took.
She said I take something in Prozac every morning.
I believe what?
All I know what was found in her system was Adderall.
I think it's Adderall and Prozac.
Adderall
and Prozac
every
morning.
So that's why the police officer said, if you continue to do this, you know, you could.
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
I know my mom killed somebody on a bike, but I've never done that before.
Well, there's still time, Brittany.
That's the good news.
At
least we know how
we got
all the dancing videos on social media at one point.
See, aren't you glad you stayed?
No.
All right, we've got one minute neighboring state proclaims state sandwich.
Thanks to TV show.
Oh yes.
I'm
done.
Stay.
Stay.
Illinois has made the proclamation that the Italian beef sandwich is the official sandwich of the state of Illinois.
Thanks to the show, the bear, which is set at a famous beef shop.
Brian, real quick, you've lived throughout the state of Illinois.
Does it deserve the title?
Anything south of Cook County, they're going to tell you it's the horseshoe.
The horseshoe was named as the official open state sandwich.
So it did get recognition as well.
Okay.
Um, I would see in that, I was going to say the hot dog, but then again, that's a Chicago thing.
The beef, beef is a good pick.
Um, but not because of the bear, the bear sucks.
Okay.
You
heard it here first.
That's swiper say.
