00:00Whoa!
00:04What are you doing now?
00:05I'm at the Carnival!
00:06Cotton candy, five hour energy,
00:08it tastes like a carnival, zero sugar,
00:10It actually sounds pretty good.
00:11Yeah, you wanna take a ride with me?
00:13No, I don't do that.
00:14God bless.
00:23Remember, let's talk about Bucky's for a minute.
00:25Apparently, Big Beaver is a bastard.
00:28Yeah.
00:30So we told you when we talked about this earlier this week when we first covered the story,
00:33because I'm going to get to the fact that they're suing another store in just a moment.
00:37But John Oliver on last week tonight, he kind of brought this up.
00:42The company has a history of doing this.
00:44They go after people that are even kind of similar to their logo or name.
00:50They've been it's been a thing that Bucky's has done for years.
00:53Their legal team will look.
00:55It's like they search out stores.
00:57Right.
00:57And then try and sue them.
00:59And besides this one in Ohio, another one that's going on right now is in Atlanta.
01:07They have a teddy bear.
01:09This one doesn't even make sense.
01:10It's called Teddy's Market.
01:11It has a teddy bear as a logo.
01:13It looks nothing like Bucky, but they're suing them, too.
01:17Is it a gas station?
01:18Bucky's is really big and huge.
01:20Like, it's like a mall.
01:21It's kind of hard to get confused with this place, right?
01:24Landon Ginn shops at Teddy's Market all the time.
01:26It's a small business in Canton with just one other location and a third on the way.
01:31He says there's no way he'd ever confuse the Canton-based gas station with the Texas-based convenience store giant,
01:38Bucky's.
01:39But a lawsuit filed by Bucky's claims the logos and the names are so similar that they could create a
01:45likelihood of confusion.
01:46That lawsuit claims a number of trademark infringements, including that both logos are cartoonish, both arbitrarily wearing hats, that they
01:55both have white highlights on their eyes and nose, and that both characters show a glimpse of a red or
02:01pink tongue.
02:02Customer Kaylee Jordan says she doesn't see it.
02:05The nose has some white on it, and the Bucky's beaver has white on it.
02:09Mm-hmm.
02:10There's a baseball cap on each.
02:12Mm-hmm.
02:12So do you think that there are certain things that are kind of in common here?
02:17No.
02:18The lawsuit claims the name Teddy's is also at issue, with alleged similarities to the Bucky's name in a number
02:25of ways, including that they are both two syllables with a hard consonant sound, and that both end in the
02:31sound E's.
02:32You wouldn't be confused because Teddy's and Bucky's.
02:34You can't end in a knee sound?
02:35No, ma'am.
02:36No, not at all.
02:37Chuckie's?
02:37Yeah, I just think it is crazy, though, that they're doing that lawsuit for them because I don't see the
02:44resemblance at all.
02:45The owner of Teddy's Market, Keron Ahuja, tells me he created Teddy's Market and the logo back in 2024 to
02:52add some fun to their gas station.
02:54He says he was surprised that Bucky's would come after them and admits there's a lot of pressure when it's
02:59a big company like Bucky's with all their resources.
03:03He says they're not backing down, and their customers tell us they will back them through this all because they
03:10don't think this bear and this beaver look much alike at all.
03:13I love them both, huge Bucky's fan, but I don't agree that it looks like a Bucky.
03:21It's a different animal, different name.
03:24Don't know if I follow that.
03:27I don't know, man.
03:28Two syllables.
03:30That's wild.
03:31Yes.
03:31Just because it has the same amount of letters.
03:35Well, and then also an ending in an E sound, you know?
03:38Yeah, Teddy's, Bucky's.
03:40They weren't even thinking about Bucky's when they did this.
03:43No.
03:43We better look at other morning shows and see how many syllables a morning show.
03:47Well, Dave has sued a lot of different people.
03:49I have sued quite a few.
03:50Oh.
03:51I sued that band that was going as Dave and Chuck the band.
03:54Shut them right down.
03:55Shut them right down.
03:56He did.
03:57I did.
03:57He did.
03:58Nice.
03:58They were a Facebook band.
03:59A little cease and desist.
04:01Okay.
04:02Yeah.
04:02People using Friday bitches.
04:04We didn't shut down the salsa, though.
04:06We did not.
04:06No, they were smart.
04:07Chuck and Dave.
04:08They flipped it, right?
04:09They switched it up.
04:10If these were E-Bucks, then maybe it would be different.
04:13But Chuck and Dave's salsa, doing all right.
04:17They are doing all right.
04:18Doing all right.
04:18Remember when they started out, they sent us like a crap load of stuff?
04:21They did.
04:22We should have sued them then.
04:23Like, aha!
04:24Yeah.
04:24I knew you were coming after us.
04:26Some people are confused by that.
04:26They think it's the same.
04:27I've been asked so many times.
04:29Yeah.
04:29Yeah.
04:29When did you guys get into hummus?
04:31Yeah.
04:31It's really good salsa.
04:34That's true.
04:35Yeah.
04:36They will ask.
04:37Yeah.
04:37They do that all the time.
04:39You guys making salsa now?
04:41No.
04:41They're just joking, right?
04:42I wish.
04:43No.
04:43They're serious.
04:45They think it's us.
04:46They think you're in the salsa game?
04:47Salsa and hummus game.
04:48They do.
04:48You never know.
04:49Oh.
04:50Chuck's knee deep in hummus.
04:51Yeah.
04:51He loves all the dips.
04:53He's a big dip guy.
04:55Tastes terrible.
04:56Print it.
04:56Well, they actually, one time we did actually go after someone.
04:59It was a Canadian lingerie chain that put its Friday bitches on panties.
05:07Yeah.
05:07And we own the trademark.
05:08It's Friday bitches.
05:10And that was our old company.
05:13Sued them.
05:13That's a hilarious suit lawsuit.
05:16It was.
05:17It was.
05:18I forget what the name of the Canadian lingerie chain is.
05:21You ran them out of business?
05:23I think they did close down eventually.
05:25Wow.
05:26I mean, how.
05:29What was it?
05:33I don't know.
05:34Oh, Licenza.
05:35It was Licenza?
05:37It was Licenza.
05:38Yep.
05:39Licenza, which is like Canada's Victoria's Secret.
05:42Oh.
05:42Was using its Friday bitches on their panties?
05:45They used a line of panties that said it's Friday bitches on them.
05:48Hmm.
05:48And we shut them down.
05:50They had to donate them to Africa or something.
05:52There's a bunch of African women walking around with its friends.
05:54And men.
05:57It sounds like you're making that up.
05:59I mean, that's made up.
06:00They had to get rid of it.
06:00That's made up.
06:01They had to get rid of the merchandise.
06:03That part is.
06:03We don't know what happened to them.
06:04I assume they would donate.
06:05They had to destroy it.
06:05There's a bunch of Nigerians in its Friday bitches Canadian lingerie panties.
06:10That's not real.
06:12That's real.
06:14There's no way.
06:15That's real.
06:17I wish it wasn't.
06:19I got to get to Libya and see what they're wearing.
06:23Show me your panties.
06:24Yeah.
06:26They don't usually wear that revealing of panties either.
06:29I've seen them in like Jordans and like the starter jackets.
06:33I can see that.
06:34You've never seen them in its Friday bitches panties.
06:38Yeah, you see them in a lot of like, you know, like championship teams.
06:43If the other team actually won the championship, you'll see that.
06:47I can't see them walking to get water in those panties.
06:52Oh, my goodness.
06:54Yeah, it was a lawsuit though.
06:55And they had to get rid of the merchandise.
06:57Yeah.
06:58Well, that's like, it is wild.
07:00That's like a big, that was like a big store over there.
07:03You know, they thought they'd capitalize.
07:06Yeah.
07:07And they must had someone in the area.
07:10Right.
07:10Because that was after the song came out.
07:12Exactly.
07:13Fresh.
