Swipe or Stay · Fri Jun 5, 2026

Frank (host)

Let's break out of the bubble and see what's happening out there in pop culture.

It's Swiper's Day on Daybreak.

Jamie (co-host)

Do we have some good stuff coming up today, Frank?

Frank (host)

Let me put it this way, Jamie.

When I opened up one of my websites that I like to see for entertainment news, one of the headline stories was Sarah Jessica Parker's son.

and his gym transformation.

So that's how great the stories are today.

Jamie (co-host)

All right, so what you're telling me is to keep my expectations low, like, you know, my husband remembering a mic stand.

That's what you're telling me.

Frank (host)

Expect the worst in hope for the best.

Brian (co-host)

That's the best way to go

Jamie (co-host)

through life.

Low

Brian (co-host)

expectations.

Frank (host)

All right, Frank, don't wallish.

Let's do it.

If this is the first time you tuned in, I'm going to play Swiper stay.

I'm going to read some pop culture headlines.

Brian and Jamie have to decide whether to stay in here more or to swipe on to the next one.

Parker can be the tiebreaker if need be story number one star wide receiver is wanted by the police.

Oh,

Jamie (co-host)

stay.

Frank (host)

Have you guys heard this story?

San Francisco star Brandon Ayuk is currently wanted for a misdemeanor charge of exhibition of speeding.

Brian (co-host)

Oh, exhibition of speeding.

Frank (host)

Yeah, I'm going to get to that.

All right.

The warrant is in reference to a video Ayuk posted to YouTube in December in which he appears to tape himself from the other driver's seat going well over the posted 40 miles per hour speed limit.

Wow, on a road that runs past Levi stadium.

Jamie (co-host)

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Frank (host)

So there is a warrant out for his arrest right now.

Also.

So you don't have to

Brian (co-host)

catch anybody red-handed anymore?

Not

Frank (host)

if you

Brian (co-host)

rat

Frank (host)

yourself out and there's video evidence.

Brian (co-host)

I mean, I know it's stupid to post

Frank (host)

it, but I

Brian (co-host)

didn't know you could go retroactively.

We're going to find you guilty.

And

Frank (host)

it's

Brian (co-host)

speeding.

It's speeding at a 40.

How fast was he going?

Does it say?

Jamie (co-host)

No,

Brian (co-host)

he was going 40

Frank (host)

over.

Oh,

Jamie (co-host)

40 over.

Oh, OK.

I think

Brian (co-host)

that's

Frank (host)

where their issue is.

He was going five over.

If

Brian (co-host)

he's driving by a park or through a.

Park, then yeah, OK.

Frank (host)

If there's anybody in law enforcement listening, please correct me.

But I think it's, what, anything over 25 and it's reckless driving?

Jamie (co-host)

I believe that is correct.

Frank (host)

But yes, please

Jamie (co-host)

correct us if we're wrong.

1-855-752-4842.

I'll throw the number in there.

Frank (host)

It's also important to note that he has not played a snap since tearing his ACL and MCL in October of 2024.

Which

Brian (co-host)

explains his need for speed.

Yes.

Frank (host)

And the Niners have said they're very much open to training him.

It's not looking good, right?

And he could

Brian (co-host)

be there quick.

Frank (host)

Hey, yo.

Good ball.

Number two.

Queen of Pop holds pop-up concert in New York.

Brian (co-host)

Who's the Queen of Pop?

Frank (host)

You guys know the Queen of Pop?

Taylor

Brian (co-host)

lives in New York.

Is it Beyonce?

I'll stay.

Well, now that I've given myself a quandary, I'll stay.

Frank (host)

Technically, Madonna is the queen of pop.

I was

Jamie (co-host)

wondering if it was Madonna.

Frank (host)

It is Madonna, that is her title.

Brian (co-host)

She's the fossil of pop.

Frank (host)

Well, now she is, but she was at one point the queen of pop.

And it's still her name.

Brian (co-host)

She's like Queen Elizabeth, she's there till she's dead, she's queen

Frank (host)

till she's

Brian (co-host)

dead.

Okay, just checking.

Frank (host)

So she held a pop-up concert yesterday in Times Square in the middle of the day.

This was a collaboration with Grindr for a special Pride Month concert celebrating the upcoming release of her album.

Jamie (co-host)

Oh, wow.

Frank (host)

This...

Just reading the facts here, people.

She's

Jamie (co-host)

the Queen of Pop.

You don't need to do these things anymore.

She's so

Frank (host)

controversial.

It does when your albums have not been great.

The half-hour performance featured her Sabrina Carpenter collaboration, Bring Your Love, the song hung up.

But there was

Jamie (co-host)

no Sabrina.

Frank (host)

She was not there.

Jamie (co-host)

That doesn't make it, that doesn't make it very exciting.

She's like

Frank (host)

a stat.

She's just gonna go on to youth to keep her life alive.

No, the exciting part was in time square.

Jamie (co-host)

Yeah, I mean that's, that's fine.

Frank (host)

With screens flashing and you've got tourists walking and being like, is that Madonna?

Jamie (co-host)

And

Frank (host)

every

Brian (co-host)

New Yorker

Frank (host)

going shut up.

She looks so different

Jamie (co-host)

than what she used to because the plastic surgery, you think it's like a Madonna impersonator, honestly.

Frank (host)

Yeah, that's a really good point.

It could be Pride Month drag show.

Do we know it was really not a drag performer?

Jamie (co-host)

Yeah.

Frank (host)

All possibilities.

All right.

All

Jamie (co-host)

right.

Frank (host)

Number three.

Beloved children's character was roasted online for a tweet.

Brian (co-host)

Oh,

Jamie (co-host)

I know.

I

Brian (co-host)

know Elmo tweets and I love following Elmo.

So I will stay.

Jamie (co-host)

Almost the best online.

Frank (host)

Elmo is currently under attack.

Jamie (co-host)

Oh no.

Frank (host)

We are attacking Elmo.

I'm

Brian (co-host)

leaving this world.

Frank (host)

This is not how it

Jamie (co-host)

was.

Okay, what did

Frank (host)

Elmo do?

Elmo is an op.

Jamie (co-host)

He's an

Frank (host)

op?

Oh, for what?

For what?

For New York.

Jamie (co-host)

Okay.

All right, please tell me more, because now I'm entrenched.

Frank (host)

He kind of deserves it.

Stop, okay.

Here's what I'm gonna say.

I, listen.

Elmo tweeted out the other day before tip off of game one between the New York.

Excuse me, New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.

Elmo hopes both teams have fun.

Brian (co-host)

Oh, well, both teams have fun.

He didn't say, you know,

Jamie (co-host)

he didn't pick a winner.

He didn't

Brian (co-host)

pick a winner.

Frank (host)

Of course not.

He's so.

And that made the Nits

Jamie (co-host)

fans mad, didn't it?

Frank (host)

He is one of their own.

Elmo is from Astoria Queens.

I know that.

Here are some of the tweets Elmo got.

I can't don't.

Brian (co-host)

I can't imagine.

Oh boy.

Frank (host)

This isn't the time for sportsmanship, Elmo.

These streets ain't sesame.

SPEAKER_??

All right.

Frank (host)

One person said, pick a side, Coward.

Oh, slow your water jet.

Another one said, Elmo, that's honestly weak AF, pick a side.

Oh, wow.

Another person said, Elmo, you're

You're out here getting cussed out.

Um, Elmo did backtrack and followed up with a tweet saying Nick, Nick's that last message.

Elmo didn't mean to spur you on.

Jamie (co-host)

Oh, oh, oh, look at that.

That's, I, I would have expected

Brian (co-host)

nothing less from Elmo.

Elmo is all about

Jamie (co-host)

good vibes and

Brian (co-host)

friends.

And he's a tiny child

Jamie (co-host)

monster.

Brian (co-host)

He's

Jamie (co-host)

a little

Brian (co-host)

bird monster.

He wants everybody to have fun.

Elmo

Frank (host)

is the

Brian (co-host)

ultimate participation trophy.

Frank (host)

Man, you got to ride or die with your teams.

That's what I per se.
