Let's break out of the bubble and see what's happening out there in pop culture.
It's Swiper Stay on Daybreak.
Here's how it's going to work today.
Parker, you're going to get an actual vote.
An actual vote.
All
right.
I'm going to read some pop culture headlines.
Jamie and Parker will have to decide whether to stay and hear more or swipe on to the next one.
In the event of a tie, I'm just going to read the story to fill time.
All right.
So moving on to story number one, Nick Reiner makes demands from jail.
I'm
going to swipe.
Oh, what kind of
such a horrific
story it was.
But I'm also really wondering what demands the guy could have as demands.
All right, stay.
We can stay.
Nick Reiner wants the money that he is owed from the trust his parents Rob and Michelle Reiner set up for him.
As he awaits the trials for their murders.
I'm laughing at the absurdity.
It's a horrific story.
But I cannot believe that yes, Nick Reiner is now demanding
is inheritance basically.
That is mind boggling.
Now
I'm, Janie, I'm not a fancy schmancy lawyer.
Sure.
I'm not well versed in law.
But I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that if you do in fact murder the people that are leaving you money, I don't think you should get the money.
Not to mention
the fact that
he's probably going to spend, I'm guessing, a few years in
Prison for said murders alleged.
I mean he's
two years.
Yeah
What what is he gonna do with the money why he's there?
I
Alleged he's looking to hire a new lawyer
With the money
with the money.
Oh, but he wants to he wants his money
because the attorney told him that he doesn't have a
prayer of getting out?
Is that what that's
a new journey?
Probably.
Would you take this case?
Right?
No.
That's just it.
It feels, I mean, obviously it's got to go through the court of laws, but it feels pretty much like we all know what the conclusion is most likely going to be, right?
It's pretty open and shut.
I mean, maybe you need somebody to plead a good insanity case, but I think that's your best bet.
Wow.
I
feel like asking for the money is helpful for the insanity
case.
It's a bold move.
It's a very
bold move.
It is
insane.
Moving on, we have a controversial celebrity couple that has called it quits.
Oh,
okay.
I'll stay.
Yeah, a little drama.
I like drama.
This is more Jamie's wheelhouse.
It's
not Mike Brable, is it?
It is not Mike
Brable.
And
we will talk about that as soon as there's more updates on that.
I hope there are fingers crossed.
Sources close to the former couple.
Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande have called it quits allegedly a couple months ago.
The story just broke and it is confirmed that the two have split up but they remain friends and are very supportive of one another.
I've lost track of Ari's love life.
Was she married to this one?
She was not married to Ethan Slater.
Okay, but
they'd been together for a while.
Was she married or was she engaged?
I don't know.
I've lost track of her
love life.
Ethan Slater was married.
Okay, all right.
Ethan Slater was married and had a kid.
I mean, and
then dumped her for Ariana Grande right as they were shooting Wicked.
How did she think this was going to end?
I mean, he doesn't have a great track record.
Her?
Right.
How did he, he had a wife and kid?
How did he think this was gonna end?
The
whole thing is, I don't know, I've lost track of Ariana Grande's love life.
I think she has too, and that's nothing against her.
No, I love her.
If I'm super rich, famous, and attractive, and could sing like that, I'd play the field a lot too.
The point, the fact of the matter is, if I'm Ethan Slater, buddy.
We all looked at this couple and I don't mean to say this to sound shallow, but you didn't, it just didn't make sense.
You didn't have a chance in hell.
And saying with this part, nobody gave it more than six months.
They lasted longer than everybody expected.
Good for them.
I think this was the conclusion everybody did expect.
Wow.
Oh, yeah.
It's weird how in normal life, people talk about these things.
Celebrities go through significant others as quickly as Ariana Grande.
And everybody's like, eh, she's a celebrity.
It's fine.
Well, yeah, look.
What else are you going to do?
Yeah, the world is your oyster when you got that much money.
There you go.
There
you go.
Why not?
The world is your oyster.
I love that.
Real quick, we've got time for one quick story.
We have the first movie of the year to reach $1 billion at the box office.
Oh, we'll stay.
I'll stay
on this
one.
I like it.
Let me sign in real quick.
It just signed me out.
Oh, gorgeous.
Literally at this time.
Google.
How much time we got, Parker?
About 30 seconds.
It is the Super Mario Galaxy movie.
Oh, really?
It's the first movie of the year to reach $1 billion at the box office.
That's where you're at.
$428.5 million domestically and $571.5 million internationally.
The first Mario Brothers movie also.
hit a billion dollars.
So Universal is doing very well for themselves.
That's swipers say I'm getting the wrap up signal.
