A
Good morning, millennials.
- [00:04]
B
Welcome back to the toast and Happy Monday. And if there ever was a Monday that felt like a Monday, today is the one. It is the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday. Jackson Turner here. We're back on video. Jackson's back in studio. She's still not feeling well, but she showed up because she knows, like this. The Monday after Super Bowl Sunday is seriously like, our Super Bowl.
- [00:20]
A
Right. As the number one sports podcast among women, I couldn't not show up for the super bowl recap episode. And because I was so sick all weekend, like, last night, I just laid in bed and watched the super bowl every minute. I did fall asleep for the first two quarters. That's just on being sick.
- [00:38]
B
That's funny not you saying I watched the whole thing. I was asleep for half the game.
- [00:41]
A
Well, the first two quarters are, like, the least important quarters, especially in this game. Um, but then I woke up and I watched the halftime show, and literally, Zach and I were watching till the last player was in the stadium. Like, we were.
- [00:53]
B
Oh, that's so funny.
- [00:54]
A
I really wanted to see mvp. I'm like, of course it's Jalen Hurts. They never even gave the ball to Saquon.
- [00:59]
B
Yeah. Even though last night was, like, a big intro for me to Saquon and the Barkley of it all.
- [01:04]
A
And let me just say, family.
- [01:07]
B
Like, love that he couldn't do what he did last night, like, for our team, the Giants, and they were in New York, but whatever. Like, he's such a cutie. And I watched actually a lot of the pre show.
- [01:16]
A
It's that quote that I keep looking for. If anybody knows the quote, it's like, if you're not blooming where you're planted, you need to replant. Like Saquon.
- [01:23]
B
And that's what Saquon did.
- [01:25]
A
He's a beautiful flower who couldn't bloom.
- [01:28]
B
The replanting of Saquon Barkley. We saw. We saw all that growth last night. It's so true.
- [01:34]
A
Yeah. He has blossomed in Philadelphia.
- [01:37]
B
So they had, like, all these different pairings. They interviewed, like, Saquon and Jalen Hurts, and then Travis, obviously, and Patrick. And so they had Tom Brady interviewing Patrick Mahomes, like the goats. Then they had Gronk interviewing Travis Kelsey as, like, well, up until Travis Kelsey, like, Gronk was the greatest tight end.
- [01:53]
A
Like, silly tight ends.
- [01:54]
B
Then they had Michael Strahan interviewing. Because Michael Strahan is, like, the greatest giant of all time, and he's like, New York, New York. And so I learned a lot about Saquon, let me just say, P. John. So, like, really genuinely happy for him. We're going to dive into the game, obviously. The performances, the commercials, the actual game, the celebrities in attendance, and that'll be part of the story. So we don't want to, you know, give it all prematurely ejaculate. Right?
- [02:20]
A
Yeah. We'll get into it shortly because I feel like that's the big news of the weekend, but how is your weekend otherwise?
- [02:25]
B
Well, there actually is some other big news of the week for me. I need to get everyone prepared to be sick of me because in a couple of days, I am taking my glucose test. And I just feel like up until that point, like, I will not stop.
- [02:38]
A
Talking about, you're going to make the glucose test your personality.
- [02:41]
B
Well, because. Okay, I actually forgot to tell you this. I found myself in a little bit of, like, TikTok drama a couple of weeks ago where I made a TikTok when I got back from the doctor and I told Dr. Fox, Dr. Fox had told me that my next appointment would be my glucose test. And so I was just like, learning about glucose. And he was really like, you know, you could try different things, but you either have it or you don't. Nothing you could do now. It's just you're either born with it or you're not. It's not like a big deal. So I made like a funny tick tock because it's. It's gestational diabetes. So I made a tick tock being like, I'm taking my glucose text next week. Like, it's only fruit and seltzer from here on out, girls. And it was a joke, obviously. Oh, my God. Like, all these nurse RNs were like, stitching being like, this is actually a really common misconception. Like, and apparently fruit actually has a ton of sugar. So if I was. If I wasn't gonna help, it's gonna make it worse. And so, like, Olivia was giving me some advice. People do say, like, there's nothing I could do right now to change whether or not I have it. But there is something I can do now to change whether or not I fail the first test, in which case I would then have to do, like, the longer, lengthy, really painful one. So they say I should just, like, you know, decrease sugar and carbs. A couple of days before would be, now I had a bagel for breakfast. Like, if I'm decreasing sugar and carbs, what else is there to eat?
- [03:53]
A
Protein. That's the correct answer. Alex, what is protein? But I know you're not going to sit down with a rotisserie chicken.
- [04:02]
B
Like, what am I on the carnivore diet? It's just not. It's not happening.
- [04:05]
A
No, I think just be mindful, like, don't eat extraneously. Don't go on a bender. But, like, I think if you're eating your usual, just eat your usual.
- [04:14]
B
I did go on a bender last night. What did you eat for the Super Bowl? Ben made me Crunchwrap Supremes. I had two. And then we ordered Carvel for dessert. Like, I really just sort of went balls to the wall.
- [04:23]
A
What did I eat? Tea with honey and lemon and saltines. Like, seriously, my super bowl was taken from me. I was honestly not even. Because I was sick. Like, but including the fact that I was sick, it was the worst super bowl of all time.
- [04:37]
B
I will say start to finish, from all different elements. The game, the commercials, the performances. It was, for me, the least entertaining super bowl in my. In recent memory.
- [04:49]
A
Yeah. Plus, being sick, like, didn't help. I didn't get to eat, like, anything. Nachos, hot dogs, nothing. Yeah, I couldn't. I can't even suck. So, yeah, I could have eat, like, Zach could have brought me something home, but I can't even taste.
- [05:01]
B
That sucks. I, like, really went hard in the paint. Yeah. And I figured it's sort of like a sending off to my glucose test because I'll be. I'll be like, I'll try and eat very balanced for the next couple of days, even though, like, I know, though it does nothing. Like, I either have it or a.
- [05:15]
A
Jobs aren't so bad. Like, there's some protein there.
- [05:18]
B
Thousand percent. And I will say fellow redhead and friend of the toast, originator of the song My Duty Brown, Dana. She had gestational diabetes. And actually, in hindsight, she tells me now, it was kind of one of the better things to happen to her because it really hindered her in the final trimester from overdoing it and gaining so much weight. She actually says, like, by the time she gave birth, she was kind of back at, like, a normal weight. Yeah.
- [05:42]
A
No, she was in the best shape.
- [05:43]
B
Of her life because you really can't eat anything but, like, meat and healthy.
- [05:47]
A
She was so slender.
- [05:48]
B
Right. So would. While it would be a very unenjoyable experience for me, it wouldn't be the worst thing. Like, I don't know how I'm ever going to go back to eating. I can't believe I used to live a healthy lifestyle. I can't believe I ever like, used to make good choices. I don't remember that girl at all.
- [06:02]
A
That's good. There's different seasons for everything. Like, you're pregnant. Eat what you want.
- [06:08]
B
No, I know I will, but at some point I'm like, you know, after being pregnant, I'll have to go back.
- [06:12]
A
Yeah, but you will be a changed person. Like, don't even worry about her. You don't even know her yet. You don't even know her.
- [06:18]
B
I don't, I don't.
- [06:20]
A
She's a problem for another day.
- [06:22]
B
But that's a song for another time.
- [06:25]
A
I'm literally like sweating sitting here. Like, because I have like the sweats and the fever. I have a heating pad on, which is actually really nice. But I'm like, if you guys see me sweating, just, just ignore. Okay. Yeah, yeah, like dropping.
- [06:39]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's probably like one of the worst things about being sick is desperately needing a heating pad for like your aches and things while also dripping sweat.
- [06:48]
A
The. The temperature control issues of this flu are unlike anything I've experienced. Every time I get out of bed, I'm shivering, like freezing cold. It's so crazy. This is like the sickest I've been in years. This flu this season is not to be messed with.
- [07:04]
B
It took Kelsey Ballerini by storm. I don't know if you saw. She canceled her Buffalo show mid show.
- [07:09]
A
I can understand.
- [07:10]
B
Terrible. Oh my God. I'm just like, really. Not that I have like so many big plans, but I'm really saying no to a lot of things because if I get the flu, you guys know it'll be bad for everyone. Yeah, yeah, surely. But otherwise weekend was very chill. Oh, you know what, I wanted to ask you something. I actually didn't talk to you at all this weekend and I meant to tell you, I was getting so, so much on Instagram yesterday, so I went to Maddie, Ben's sister, my sister in law's bridal shower. It was lovely and I was like posting pictures and so many people were coming at me being like so weird that you called Ben's sister. Cuz I was like, I was like narrating the events on my Instagram story and I was like off to Ben's sister's bridal shower and I guess like a more normal thing to say would my sister in law's bridal shower.
- [07:53]
A
I understand why you didn't do that. And ultimately you're right because the sister in law is like a very mature term and.
- [08:00]
B
Oh, it's like I wasn't even Thinking mature, like negative. I was thinking it's a ne. Like I find. And then I was thinking like even when I talk about Ben's family on the show, I don't say my in laws. I say Ben's family. I feel like it's a more endearing term. In laws has such like a net. Maybe it's the dear toasters in me. Like it has such a negative connotation. People are like, Jackie got so many so weird that you call her Ben's sister. Why?
- [08:20]
A
It's literally not weird. But I do feel like when someone is younger, they feel less like an in law. And it's just like that's true. You know, she had an older sister is very mature sister in law. But when they're younger it's like, what if you have a 12 year old sister? Like that's a sister in law.
- [08:36]
B
Oh, it's such a thing.
- [08:37]
A
So.
- [08:38]
B
And also like when Ben and I met, Maddie was like 14. So to me, I know she's a, she's a grown ass woman now, but like she's getting married, but she's still like little sis 100%. That's a good point too.
- [08:48]
A
They just don't know you.
- [08:50]
B
And so much backlash.
- [08:52]
A
They don't know her like you do.
- [08:53]
B
They don't know. They don't know. But then I do realize, like even when I was talking last week about how I dinner with Ben's parents, like I exclusively call them Ben's parents, not my in laws. I don't know why I think in laws is like a dirty word.
- [09:04]
A
No, but I understand what you mean. That it's more in like familial to say Ben's parents.
- [09:12]
B
And don't you also feel like it's a little waspy, like not Jewish to say in laws?
- [09:19]
A
Will you say macha tunum.
- [09:21]
B
Right, But I don't know. I don't know. I don't know a lot of Jewish people who say my in laws.
- [09:24]
A
Well, you can start saying them.
- [09:27]
B
Well, yeah, my macha turn them. And that is a, a term of endearment.
- [09:31]
A
Yeah.
- [09:33]
B
Only. Only refers to your spouse's parents. I don't think it includes siblings. Sister, totally. That's your Yiddish word of the day, Machatunam. Spelling so unclear. But just Google it. Maha.
- [09:51]
A
Clear.
- [09:53]
B
Sister. Sister. So you were just like sick all weekend.
- [09:59]
A
Not much to share, class sick all weekend. And I didn't even get to watch that much TV because I was like that sick. I actually had to google how to turn the brightness down on my Television. Because I couldn't even look at it.
- [10:10]
B
Wow.
- [10:10]
A
And I figured it out, and it's. I'm leaving it that way.
- [10:12]
B
Of course, you got to get the TV remote, not the Apple tv, like, the actual TV remote. And then you go to menu settings.
- [10:17]
A
I did it on Apple tv. Like, it was accessibility, display, brightness. Turned it all down. So I was able to watch a little bit. I watched New Kardashians episode. But then I also watched a bunch of episodes from last season, so I don't know which one was like, yeah, this week's episode. So I can't.
- [10:32]
B
Lamar.
- [10:33]
A
Yeah, I saw the Lamar conversation, but I forget what else happened, like, to me, Courtney is in Australia with her family.
- [10:39]
B
Got it. Got it. Because you're, like, you're sort of behind.
- [10:41]
A
Yeah. But now I'm caught up, and then I watch. So I really was looking for something mindless because I couldn't pay attention to anything. So I watched a little bit of Quarterback on Netflix, which wound up being, like, the perfect thing to watch in the lead up to the super bowl because they followed three quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes being one of them. And so I was really getting to know Patty really well. Right before the super bowl, like, instead of watching the Fox Countdown to red carpet. Yeah, I watched Quarterback. And right as I'm falling in love with Patrick, like, he's stunk up the joint.
- [11:10]
B
Yes. Yes. Not a good night for the. The Chiefs and specifically Patty over there.
- [11:15]
A
I was so impressed by him learning about his protocols, his training, this, that I'm like, this guy's got it in.
- [11:19]
B
The back so regimented.
- [11:21]
A
Yeah. And he's just, like, had. Some people are just, like, physically more gifted, superior. Like, like, he also trained as a baseball player coming up. So, like, he was going to be a baseball player. And so, like, a lot of his quarterback throws, he throws like a baseball, which really helps him. Like, he, like, hits him with that swivel, and he's like, his fate. His head stay straight. So, like, it just reminds me of, like, how Michael Phelps was, like, born to be.
- [11:44]
B
I was gonna say Michael Phelps, like.
- [11:47]
A
Just built to be a swimmer. Like Patrick Mahomes is. Is that quarterback. But last night, he was not. But something that was really funny that I wanted to tell you is that they were talking about all their different plays and how they have, like, all these weird names for them, like cat, bag, lion. And they have one play, it's, like, for Travis, and they call it catching.
- [12:05]
B
Kelsey, you're kidding.
- [12:08]
A
And he said Travis hates it because that Was that show he was on.
- [12:11]
B
So funny.
- [12:13]
A
So funny. And then they showed a clip of catching Kelsey where Travis is, like, being just so ridiculous about how he wants to meet someone.
- [12:20]
B
It does make you wonder, like, what documentaries were being filmed last night. Definitely like a Jalen Hurts.
- [12:25]
A
Oh, yeah. I wonder who they are following. Netflix, like, does a lot of sports.
- [12:31]
B
Content across all different sports. Like, they do golf, they do tennis, they do a lot of football. They just did the tight end DCC last night.
- [12:41]
A
Yeah. They're absolutely glaring.
- [12:43]
B
Glaring.
- [12:44]
A
The dcc. Oh, my God, my husband's gonna kill me. The DCC remind me of bring it on. When, like, the cheerleaders are just, like, so much better than the football team.
- [12:54]
B
Oh, 1,000%. And I was actually thinking at NFL Honors, a great joke for soup dog was hosting. Whoever was hosting would have been like, it was a great year for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
- [13:04]
A
Yeah.
- [13:05]
B
Because it really was.
- [13:06]
A
Yeah. It wasn't. They're getting their season two and they're keeping the franchise alive and people literally.
- [13:11]
B
Show up to the games, like, for them.
- [13:12]
A
Yeah. As a. Well, that's great.
- [13:15]
B
Yeah. So I feel like we're just sort of circling the drain. Yeah.
- [13:19]
A
Let's get into the Super Bowl. Without further ado to do it is time for the fast five stories that you need to know.
- [13:25]
B
And the best five stories that you need to know are brought to you by the farmer's dog. So this new year, the easiest healthy habit to start is one for your dog. And the farmer's dog makes feeding real healthy dog food easy and convenient. Your dog will absolutely love it. It's smart, healthy pet food that you can feel good about feeding your dog. And that's why it's time to quit the cable, kick the cans, and start fresh with the farmer's dog. They are making and delivering most importantly, healthy dog food right to your door. It's developed by vets, it's nutritionally balanced, and it's made from real meat and vegetables to the safety standards of human food. It's the best option for dogs at all life stages because it's not kibble, it's not canned goo. It's just real healthy food. Traditional dry and wet dog food options are highly processed. They can use much lower quality ingredients than they claim to, and they're extremely difficult to portion accurately. Well, the farmer's dog is sending you pre portioned food specifically for your dog. Based on their unique nutritional needs, it makes it easy to help your dog maintain their ideal weight, which is one of the biggest Indicators of a full, healthy life. So dogs at a healthy weight can live up to two and a half years longer than overweight dogs, especially. Like, it's very breed specific. But Jackie and I are cavalier moms and we're super crazy about the dog's weight. That's why I'm always calling Bruno fat, because they are predisposed to a heart condition. So, like, their weight can really affect. It can actually take years off their life. So we're really crazy about what we feed our dogs. And the farmer's dog, when I switched Theo to it, it was such a game changer. His breath was better, his coat was much shinier. He was making, like, more regulated poops. So if you want to get 50 off your first box of fresh, healthy food@the farmersdog.com toast, you should. Plus, you're gonna get free shipping, but only when you go to the farmersdog.com toast to get 50 off. That's thefarmersdog.com toast. Today's episode is also brought to you by BetterHelp.

A
Open turt.
- [17:58]
B
It's been a pleasure being open with you, honestly.
- [18:02]
A
First story, Super bowl recap. Let's talk sports. First.
- [18:06]
B
First.
- [18:07]
A
So the Eagles beat the Chiefs at Super bowl licks. Final blicks, final score 40 to 22 in New Orleans.
- [18:17]
B
So it was really crazy. Like at first I was not really concerned. Even though they were losing, it was just like.
- [18:23]
A
They kind of do that.
- [18:24]
B
Yes. But also, anytime I've ever watched the Chiefs, they're, like, annoyingly good. It's like it doesn't even matter what the score is. They're just, like, gonna get it done. So it wasn't like, particularly, like, freaked until at the half. Like, oh, no. Maybe right when they came back from the half, the Eagles scored again, and then it was 24 to 0. At some point, you just get to a deficit.
- [18:44]
A
Yeah.
- [18:44]
B
So big. Like, there's not enough time in the game for you to come back from. And we were slowly approaching that, and I was like, there's just. I couldn't believe it. I'm like, there's no way. They're trying to be the greatest in the league. I was like, these. Who are these people? Like, it was so. It was giving lobotomy. Everybody forgot how to play and, like, do their jobs. Like, Travis catch. He does. I don't know it. Patrick throw. I don't know. And I don't know who to blame most, but I definitely hold a lot of space for, like, the. Everybody did a bad job. It's not just one person or one part of the team.
- [19:13]
A
Well, that's good.
- [19:14]
B
Specifically, like, the group of guys whose job it is to make sure Patty has, like, a couple of seconds to throw the ball.
- [19:21]
A
Yeah. The offensive segment, I think they ended.
- [19:24]
B
Up breaking a record last night for the most sacks in a Super Bowl. Like, it was really. I don't know how many times, like, Travis has. I mean, a Travis Patrick had to, like, tiptoe and just to get away. Your job is. And I was watching. I'm like, they're just standing there. They were really. Everybody stunk, though. Like, I can't. I don't even want to just blame them. Like, Travis was bad. All the people who were supposed to catch were bad, but the people who were supposed to protect. That's kind of like the first line of defense. They were really sticking it up.
- [19:49]
A
Yeah. I guess it's like, good that there's not blame on one person. Like, one person doesn't feel like they ruined it. And also sometimes I feel like when the game is so close, it's like, even more heartbreaking because it's like we were so close to greatness, but they literally didn't have a chance. To me, what's so crazy is like, this. The whole weekend is literally like a multi billion dollar endeavor. Like, everyone coming and traveling and all the celebrities and all the entertainment and all the parties leading up to the weekend in the hotel, all around this game. And it was literally like the worst.
- [20:19]
B
Game I've ever seen in my life.
- [20:21]
A
Little League they were playing.
- [20:23]
B
Yeah. And it was so all of the.
- [20:25]
A
Fan entertaining is for this game. And they couldn't even play football.
- [20:29]
B
And I saw the most interesting tick tock because we know that like celebrities spend like hundreds of thousands of dollars on their suites and planes, but this person was just going around to people at the super bowl, like the actual game, and just asking them how much they spent on tickets. And I had seen that the average price of the ticket last night was around $5,000. But just seeing regular folk, like being interviewed, people being like, we spent 8,000 per ticket. Nobody spent less than $5,000 on a ticket in this video that I saw. And so. And that's why there were a lot of Eagles fans there, because this is the third time. It's actually the sixth time the Chiefs have been. Chiefs have been. So it's not like uncommon for a Chiefs fan to get to go to the Super Bowl. I think they know they'll have an opportunity in the next couple of years, but, you know, with other teams it's not always the case. You have good years, you have bad years. And so most of the. And you could tell just by like the cheers and the boos that most. Most people in the crowd were Eagles fans.
- [21:17]
A
Yeah. And the. The reporters had said that too. So I'm glad that most people that were. Imagine being a Chiefs fan and like you finally spending $8,000, spending that much money to see them play, like, dog.
- [21:28]
B
It's so crazy.
- [21:30]
A
Like, it was seriously embarrassing.
- [21:32]
B
Yeah, it was really bad. But everybody kept. Because, you know, the commentators were like, you know, some guy and Tom Brady. And there's like a famous super bowl where Tom Brady came back to beat the Falcons. I think it was 24 to 2.
- [21:43]
A
Yeah.
- [21:43]
B
Right. So everybody keeps. Pam was like, don't worry. Tom Brady came back. And they keep saying, you know, Patrick is the second comings of Tom Brady. So I was like, oh, yeah, so it's possible. And I just figured like at some point it would happen. And it became increasingly clear as the night went on. Like, it wasn't happening.
- [21:57]
A
No. And what was so weird, it was like for the last 10 or 12 minutes, like the gap was too big to close really, but like, they can't celebrate yet. They haven't won. Like, we have to like still play 12 more minutes. But like we know that they won. And so it Was so anticlimactic because it was like, we knew for 12 minutes that the Eagles had won the super bowl, but they're still, like, having to play the game. They're on the sidelines, like, dumping Gatorade on with five minutes left.
- [22:20]
B
I want to talk about the Gatorade.
- [22:22]
A
And it's just like. But we can't celebrate yet. And then by the time, like, we had a winner, it's like, oh, well, we knew. It was just so anticlimactic.
- [22:30]
B
Yeah. Them pouring the Gatorade on Nick Santini. What's his name?
- [22:34]
A
Yeah, the great Santini.
- [22:39]
B
Carla's death. What the hell is his name?
- [22:48]
A
Okay, I'll find out. Eagles coach.
- [22:51]
B
They poured it on him.
- [22:52]
A
Sirianni.
- [22:53]
B
Sirianni, yes. Sounds like a character from Jersey Shore. There was, like, four minutes left. Now, of course, like, the Chiefs, like, really couldn't have won, but it wasn't the. It couldn't. It wasn't impossible. And actually, when they got the ball back, Travis, on his first out. Not Travis. Excuse me. Patrick, on his first down, threw a touchdown. Now, of course, it was just a small dent in the lead, but, like, you never know. I just thought it was really crazy that they were doing the Gatorade already.
- [23:18]
A
Yeah, that was really crazy. But I guess, overall, like, the final score, 40 to 24 or 22, doesn't sound so bad. It doesn't sound like what we watched.
- [23:28]
B
Which got to 20, like, in the last three minutes.
- [23:31]
A
I know, but at least, like, they got a respectable. Ish score up on the board because the whole game was, like, 37. 00, a bunch of zeros.
- [23:42]
B
So from. And I like to watch, like, I don't have a particular stake in the game. Last night, obviously, like, the Taylor of it all is super interesting, but I don't care, like, who won. So I just wanted to be entertained. And it was so boring, the game. Like, I. Like, these are supposed to be the two greats. And I couldn't help but think, you know, who wouldn't have lost so badly to the Eagles?
- [23:59]
A
The Bills.
- [24:00]
B
The Bills. I know Josh Allen was watching that game, being like, this is bullshit. Like, let me give the people what they want. I'm sorry. You have a duty to the American people to keep us entertained at the Super Bowl. I don't care if you win or lose. Your job is to keep us on the edge of our seats. And also, I can't help but thinking about the advertisers who definitely pay more for commercials in the fourth quarter.
- [24:17]
A
Yeah.
- [24:17]
B
Because usually it's the most important part of the game. And I can't even imagine how many people turned off the TV in the fourth quarter, like, because it was so. It was late. It's a Sunday night. Like, people have to go to work. It's. It was useless to watch at some point.
- [24:32]
A
Yeah, I guess. But that's the chance that you take with the super bowl and advertising. I don't feel, like, so bad for them in their $8 million commercials.
- [24:41]
B
No, me neither. Did you know the first super bowl ever? Do you know how much a commercial went for?
- [24:45]
A
I feel like we've done this, but. No, tell me.
- [24:47]
B
They showed it on TV last night. They were showing, like, average price of a ticket compared to. And it was, like $20 versus 8,000. And last night, commercials went for $8 million. And the first Super bowl ever, they went for $40,000.
- [24:59]
A
Oh, wow.
- [25:00]
B
Yeah.
- [25:01]
A
Interest. What year was that? Oh, 59 years ago.
- [25:04]
B
50 years ago. So, like, the 60s.
- [25:07]
A
So next year would be Super Bowl LX.
- [25:10]
B
Yeah. I was trying to figure out, like, with the super. With the numbers. I. I so don't understand Roman numerals, and I don't understand the Super Bowl's obsession with using them in their logos.
- [25:20]
A
I was actually, like, thinking that. I feel like soon they'll stop using Roman numerals.
- [25:24]
B
And.
- [25:24]
A
And that would be a sad day. I just want to say it will.
- [25:26]
B
Because I think as a country, like, intellectually, we can no longer handle Roman numerals.
- [25:30]
A
Just so sad.
- [25:31]
B
Yes, it's a state, but it's also. It's kind of like the metric system. Like, we don't really use them. Why are. It's. It is the only time in. Actually, I guess, like, if I meet someone whose name is, like, Chad iii. Yeah, I would use. But, like, it is the only time in my year where I'm even thinking of Roman numerals.
- [25:49]
A
I just think, like, we should keep them around.
- [25:52]
B
But do they teach Roman numerals in school these days?
- [25:55]
A
I don't know. In our day, yes.
- [25:57]
B
Yeah, but, like, up until, like, 20.
- [25:59]
A
Yeah, but you only need so many. That's like, you only need so many letters to know, because then you eventually.
- [26:07]
B
You know that we never got to L or X. We only got to I and V.
- [26:11]
A
Well, V is 5. L is.
- [26:18]
B
L. I, X is 50.
- [26:21]
A
50. Yeah. Yeah.
- [26:22]
B
And IX is 1 minus 10.
- [26:24]
A
Yeah. I think it's good. I think we need this refreshing challenge.
- [26:29]
B
It's an annual challenge for the American people.
- [26:32]
A
Yeah. So I don't know what happened. Like, seriously, it was as if they all like forgot how to play the sport. It was genuinely like an embarrassment to the whole country.
- [26:42]
B
It was dreadful. See? And it was also just kind of crazy to see Travis, Patty and Taylor, to see them lose. Like, they don't lose often and when they have lost, it's been kind of inconsequential.
- [26:52]
A
Yeah.
- [26:53]
B
So it was just kind of like seeing a teacher out of school. Like, felt weird to see them be big losers. Even Travis's like, post game interview where he's so upset in his sparkly shirt and he was like, you know, we can't just blame the O line. It was everyone. I'm like, oh, I kind of got the ick. Like I. Taylor did too.
- [27:09]
A
And it's not like they lost valiantly, you know?
- [27:13]
B
Totally.
- [27:13]
A
There was no valiance.
- [27:15]
B
No. There was no honor.
- [27:17]
A
It was as if they were body snatched by a bunch.
- [27:20]
B
Yes. It was like we were playing.
- [27:22]
A
Seriously. I have no idea what happened. It was so crazy and so embarrassing and like, what do you even do after that?
- [27:30]
B
I don't know. We got like no Taylor footage because of it. Because like every time Travis does something good or bad, they show Taylor and like he wasn't doing anything good or bad.
- [27:37]
A
Yeah.
- [27:38]
B
Except for those like two big drops in the beginning. I was like, oh, yikes. But he's like always like, he's kind of messy, but he always pulls it through. That's the thing. I, like, wasn't worried. I'm like, they always pull together. I'm sure Taylor wasn't worried either. But then it just became increasingly clear. I did find her cast and crew in the suit in the suite to be quite interesting.
- [27:54]
A
Yes.
- [27:54]
B
Obviously her parents were there, the Kelsey's were there. Taylor Haim, who've kind of been like laying low. I feel like she hasn't called on them in a while.
- [28:04]
A
Yeah, but they're always there for her.
- [28:06]
B
Yeah, they're like, they're loyal and steadfast. She also brought ice spice, which was so random. And I thought, oh, I guess they are still friends. Although a lot of people had pointed out to me that she was at the last super bowl that Travis won and Taylor might have been like superstitious trying to like recreate wasn't, you know, there. And by the way, a lot of people were there with her. Kelly Teller.
- [28:26]
A
Were they together at all this weekend?
- [28:28]
B
No. So Kelly Teller was at the Super Bowl. Her and Miles are huge Eagles fans, which makes sense. Like, maybe this time they want to be in the same suite, but like they Were not together at all. And actually saw some discourse about this online. Kelly and Miles were hanging out with Zach Brian, which, like, obviously, this is, like, not a big deal. Zach Brian's a huge Eagles fan, too, but Zach Bryan, like, famously, like, wrote that nasty tweet about Kanye being better than Taylor. Like, if that's your friend. So, like, I'm sorry, these two are not friends. You can't convince me, like, they're not so crazy. I know.
- [28:57]
A
That's so crazy.
- [28:59]
B
I would love to know what happened.
- [29:01]
A
Yeah, me too. Anyways, because sometimes you just, like, fall.
- [29:03]
B
Out of love with people. That's fine. Like, you know, you. You get, like, you know, steadfast in a friendship.
- [29:08]
A
Not.
- [29:09]
B
But I feel like something bad at.
- [29:10]
A
Their ages, you know, that happens when you have, like, your party friends.
- [29:14]
B
Yeah, yeah.
- [29:15]
A
And you have a first cousin, second cousins.
- [29:17]
B
Cousins. Yeah, yeah, yeah, true.
- [29:19]
A
But not at their age. They've been friends for so long, and they were, like, so, so tight to go from.
- [29:24]
B
They hadn't been. Had they been friends for so long.
- [29:26]
A
Yeah, it was, like, throughout the years, like, Kelly, like, had a bunch of stuff. I feel like she was, like, friendly with Taylor throughout the years.
- [29:34]
B
No, I feel like it happened really organically. Like, she was a big fan. And then they coordinated. Miles being in the I bet you think about me music video, and that was sort of, like the. The. The catalyst, if you will. And then it was, like, a year where they were just inseparable.
- [29:48]
A
Yeah.
- [29:48]
B
Like, the ring she bought. Remember, it was Taylor's day to the Emmys.
- [29:52]
A
Yeah.
- [29:53]
B
It was, like, burning fast and bright, and that was it.
- [29:56]
A
Yeah. That's really weird.
- [29:58]
B
Yeah. And then with the Zach Bryan thing, it makes me think, like, that something happened, because even if, like, you're not friendly with someone, like, I feel like.
- [30:05]
A
No, something was a move. Something happened.
- [30:08]
B
Yeah.
- [30:08]
A
And her suite, like, it's a little lackluster.
- [30:11]
B
So I was a guest. But also, I thought this about a lot of the suites, because I was seeing, like, a lot of footage of people. Something about the. The specific arena. Arena. I know it's an indoor arena, which is nice, because I heard it was so hot and humid and rainy, but everyone's suites, like, were covered. Like, there was, like, a ceiling in front of them. Do you know what I mean? Like, usually, like, your windows are, like, flush. I just looked, like, honestly, like, not worth the money. Not to complain. Watching from my couch, I was just, like. I would have been annoyed. So we got, like, all the pictures of Taylor had, like, this, like, just, like, Blurry quality to it because of, like, the ceiling.
- [30:45]
A
Got it. Oh, and Taylor got booed, which to me, like, it was just because, like, I saw it as the whole stadium is Eagles fans and she's such a Chiefs. Not because, like, everybody hates Taylor stuff. Like, I think it was in the spirit of the game.
- [30:58]
B
I know. And so obviously, like, getting booed is horrible. And people who do it, like, seriously grow the up. Like, you have children, you're booing someone. However, I do think Taylor understood that she was being booed because she's Travis's girlfriend, not because, like, if they had showed any of Travis's family, I think they would have gotten booed. Maybe not Jason, but I think it has nothing to do with, like, music. Some people thought it was political.
- [31:20]
A
No, I don't think. I don't think so.
- [31:22]
B
I think it was, like, Travis's girl and the whole stadium was Eagles fans.
- [31:25]
A
Like, yeah, that's how I think.
- [31:26]
B
If they put Donna up there. Well, Donna's also Jason's mom, so.
- [31:30]
A
No, they put Britney up there.
- [31:32]
B
Oh, yeah, well, they would. Britney's like, kind of a polarizing figure, like, especially within her own community. They've always, like, given her. So I just. I don't think it was personal. I think it's inappropriate, like, to boo anyone, like, especially, like, it's rude. Like, it's like a person. But having said that, given her reaction, I think she understood it was not about her because she kind of gave, like, a funny side eye, like, facial expression. It was not about her.
- [31:54]
A
But sports fans boo. That's like, what they do.
- [31:57]
B
Yeah, they're freaks.
- [31:59]
A
Yeah, they're. They're crazy. So that's the game, and that's the ball game. And it was a real stinker.
- [32:06]
B
Big one.
- [32:07]
A
And next we're gonna talk about all the entertainment from the evening, including Kendrick Lamar halftime show lady Order. Yeah. So Lady Gaga actually opened the show with a touching rendition of Hold My Hand in honor of the New Orleans terrorist attack victims and the LA fires.
- [32:25]
B
It. I was so unexpected. Did they announce that she was going to be performing? No, no.
- [32:29]
A
On the pre show, they kept saying Lady Gaga coming up. And I was like, what is she doing?
- [32:33]
B
I was so shocked. Maybe it was. I mean, it was so many things, right? Like, the concept is really beautiful. Like, how can we not acknowledge that a mere two months ago, 14 people died in, like, one of the most horrible terror attacks? Like, it was really beautiful. The song choice. We were just talking about that song, you guys know that's jacking it's. Like, favorite song, and it's one of Lady Gaga's most underrated. And it's so beautiful. So I love that it got its moment. I loved, like, the very low key nature of everyone, like Tom Brady, Michael Strahan, just, like, standing around a piano. Yeah, it was. And in the French Quarter, it was so beautiful. And I loved the way that she looked. The looks from this era have been, like, kind of crazy. I don't know if you saw what she wore to the actual Super Bowl. Like, she looked nuts.
- [33:09]
A
And she had, like, different hair.
- [33:11]
B
Yeah, she had black hair, black leather. Like, she looked super crazy at the Grammys. She looked nuts. I thought she looked so sweet. And it was. It was an appropriate look. Like, she wore all white. I really liked the bleach. I bleached eyebrows. I could not come up with one negative thing to say. It was so unbelievably beautiful. I was really moved by the whole thing. Like, really, it was. It was spectacular.
- [33:34]
A
Yeah, agreed. And then we had the national anthem, John Batiste and America before that, and.
- [33:41]
B
The Lift Every Voice. Ladisi, I just want to say, you put a youth choir in my midst. I'm on board. The youth choir slayed the house down. And then what I really liked about Lift Every Voice was. And I love those. Those initial songs that they do. Right. Like the God Bless America. Because it's a moment of seriousness before all this fun. Right? It's sports, it's celebrities. It's all supposed to be fun, but it's a real moment of solitude. It's a moment of togetherness. People cry. We have so many famous. You know, last year, Nick Santini crying. There are so many great moments, and it's like a real, just somber moment, and I love that. So while I love Lauren Daigle and I actually thought Trombone Shorty was amazing, like, I wasn't familiar with his work. They all through the night, they were trying to represent New Orleans. And I get that New Orleans has, like, this really vibrant culture. And I actually really liked that they chose a lot of homegrown talent, and they really wanted to showcase, like, that Harry Connick Jr. Thing with all the dancers.
- [34:38]
A
Forgot that there was, like, a whole.
- [34:39]
B
That was.
- [34:39]
A
There was a pre show.
- [34:41]
B
Yeah. It was, like, colorful. It was very Mardi Gras.
- [34:43]
A
Yeah.
- [34:43]
B
So I love that they were. Yeah, they were really intent on putting their culture first. I loved that. I did feel like, because New Orleans culture is so colorful and bright and fun and loud, they kept infusing it into, like, America the beautiful and then Jon Batiste with the anthem, and I just felt like it was not the vibe. It's kind of the opposite of the vibe I personally look for in those songs. I look for moments of solitude, of seriousness, and with, like, the fun elements of, like, the jazz bands. I just felt like it didn't match the energy that I was personally looking for.
- [35:17]
A
Yeah. How was Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty? I missed it because it was bad.
- [35:21]
B
It was good. It wasn't a bed. A bad rendition at all, but just not Super Bowl. Right. He played the trombone while she delivered vocals, and then he also did vocals, like, really beautiful harmonies. But it was just kind of like this scat sketch. Like, you know, it wasn't a scat, but they added, like, this fusion of New Orleans vibe, which is beautiful, but I didn't think appropriate for, like, what I usually look for in these moments, like, right before the game starts. All the fun. I always. I just love how serious it always is. I love that we see grown men cry. I love that we see people, like, take their hats off and just. They cut to the military. Like, it's very beautiful. And I think they New Orleans a little too close to the sun. They wanted New Orleans everywhere.
- [36:02]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [36:02]
B
And it was like. And Giambatiste did it less, but he still did it. And I happen to think it was a pretty rendition not to. And you know what? I was actually thinking this last year, I feel like every time we sit, we, like, criticize the music, but then, like, history really will tell how we reflect. And I feel like I remember when Chris Stapleton did it. I really liked it, but I didn't know if it was going to become, like, historic. And now I find myself constantly thinking about it, and it's, like, always getting. It goes viral on TikTok. Like. Like, people love it so much, so time will tell. You really can't judge.
- [36:36]
A
Yeah.
- [36:37]
B
Even last with Reba, I think you had said, like, it was so great and so classic that she didn't do anything frilly. Anything different, and it might go down as, like, one of the greats. And it doesn't. Like, we don't even.
- [36:45]
A
I remember she did it last year.
- [36:48]
B
Right. So time will tell. But I. I don't think John Batiste entered that hall of fame last night, but I do think he did a really nice job, and it was very respectful and well done. He didn't flub the words or, like, miss a note. Like, it was that. No, no, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, like, it wasn't bad by any stretch. I wasn't moved to tears.
- [37:09]
A
Yeah.
- [37:09]
B
I don't think a lot of the play, we didn't get a moment like that where they zoom in on people's faces. Like. Yeah, it was just, it was a little too fun.
- [37:15]
A
Yeah.
- [37:16]
B
And he had this big, colorful piano, which I know I, I understand. It's like a part of New Orleans culture and I love that it's like the, it's really, it's rare to have a state that really has such individual culture, like, outside of. It's not like American, it's Louisianan. Like, it's cool. And I love that they infused it. I thought the big intro pre show was beautiful, but some moments like, can be without. And I thought that John Batiste, like, he did a good job. He didn't because he sounded pretty. I can't explain it. I wasn't moved.
- [37:45]
A
Yeah, he did. And I think he did like the, the best job of him. So it's like, if it wasn't for you, then maybe he wasn't the right choice.
- [37:51]
B
No, but he was chosen because he's a New Orleans local, which is so nice. And that would have been enough. Like, I don't like, they were just like pushing New Orleans, I think a little too much in certain corners. But like when the, the, the graphics and everything, the logo was all very New Orleans inspired because it's very colorful. Love. Yeah, love, love, love. So I liked that, that. That was a clearly a choice of the design team for the Super Bowl. They did a little too much.
- [38:16]
A
Yeah, I, I feel that. And then Kendrick Lamar halftime show. So he did a 13 minute performance and there were guest appearance from SZA, Serena Williams showed up dancing. He performed a bunch of his songs and that was the show.
- [38:35]
B
So I actually think. And I would love to hear what your husband thought of it because I'm. I don't listen to, like, I don't go to Spotify and listen to Kendrick Lamar. So I was really shocked at how little of the music I knew as somebody who just like, is an active participant in culture. Right. Like, I don't actively seek out a lot of people's music, but you know.
- [38:51]
A
You know them and they're familiar.
- [38:52]
B
But I don't go ever listen to Justin Timberlake. But when he did the Super Bowl, I knew most of his music. So I was, I was like the first time ever that I can remember, like in my lifetime where I knew almost none of the music. And that's probably my Only critique. I actually think the performance itself, like, he executed it flawlessly, Right?
- [39:09]
A
Yeah.
- [39:09]
B
His choreography was on point. I happened to love the dancers, like, the whole red, white, and blue aesthetic. The Uncle Sam. Like, I thought it was really well done. I think he sounded great. I thought. I loved his jeans. My only real critique is that I don't think he was the right choice solely because I, an active participant in a lot of different corners of culture, like, really did not know. I don't think he has enough mainstream hits. And then I think about the people who watch the super bowl, and that's why it's such a specific tier of people. Why we're always, like, spending so much time thinking about who could do it, who would be good enough. You need a real discography where at least half the songs on your set lists are worldwide hits, where everybody, no matter age, no matter where they live, where they know those songs. And I feel like he has one of those songs. Sit down, be humble. So while I thought the performance was actually flawlessly executed, I thought I loved how the cameras were following him around. He had a real vision.
- [40:03]
A
Yeah.
- [40:03]
B
And when they. When they kept zooming out, I thought the stage was really gorgeous. I just don't think he was the right choice unless. And I feel like maybe Apple, when they took over, they're changing a little bit of cause for so long, it was like you had to be a classic performer. Like, you had to have, like, Katy Perry. You guys have, like, such mainstream success because it's one of the only times of the year where you're going to be reaching almost every single American. So you need to be a very specific type of popular. That's why I think they. They often choose people who are, like. Maybe not like, the most, like, creative and different, but they have the biggest hits, and that's what we're hearing, and.
- [40:35]
A
Everyone will enjoy it.
- [40:36]
B
So. But that was really my only critique. I was, like, watching, and I'm like, this is good. But, like, I would love to know a song.
- [40:41]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [40:42]
B
I thought Kendrick fans, I think it was like, oh, the most amazing. Like, did your husband love it?
- [40:47]
A
Well, so he thought that the visuals were, like, amazing, which I totally agree. Like, the. The stage and the dancers and, like, the way, like, the different scenarios. But musically, it wasn't, like, probably the best choice for everyone, especially because not a lot of people. Not everyone knows all of his songs.
- [41:05]
B
Now.
- [41:05]
A
I am familiar with two Not Like Us, and I feel the same way where it's like, at first, I didn't Mind that he was like, not every artist that they pick is gonna be.
- [41:15]
B
Like, my Kelly Clarkson, but, like, it's.
- [41:18]
A
A jolly good show and it's music and it's fun, but, like, we're gonna.
- [41:21]
B
We're gonna know it regardless of who it is.
- [41:23]
A
Yeah. And if it's good music, like, I don't mind hearing a song for the first time, but it's just, like, it just didn't translate.
- [41:29]
B
Yeah.
- [41:29]
A
For fan people who aren't, like, huge fans of his music.
- [41:34]
B
And I think when we think about, like, who would be eligible for the super bowl in the past, how we've thought about it, we really think of it. At least I do as, like, who would have a Vegas residency who can go on a tour that's almost like a greatest hits, who can, you know, not ever release new music and still have hours and hours of songs to sing? And that's why I'm always comparing it to, like, people who do Vegas residency is. And that's why even I think I remember last year, I was really surprised at how much of a Ushers I knew because I haven't actively listened to Usher maybe since I'm six.
- [42:04]
A
Yeah. I feel like with Usher, it was the opposite issue, where it's like, the songs and the music were great. The performance, like, wasn't.
- [42:10]
B
Yeah. But I'm talking about in terms of, like, selections, Like, I was like, oh, I wonder if I'll know. And I knew the whole thing just, like, from being an act.
- [42:16]
A
No, I'm not talking about participant saying, like, I feel like that was, like, we had the opposite issue because the. It didn't. It didn't, like, hit in the way that it was meant to.
- [42:25]
B
I think to Kendrick's credit, I think it's really hard as, like, a man, like a straight man, to, like, dazzle without, like, outfits and makeup and dancers and pyrotechnics. And I think the. The. The creative of the show was actually really well done. Like, because I think you don't get to rely on a lot of the things that some of the girlies do to make it, like, fun and bright and like, kind of a spectacle. So you have to do different things. And I thought that was a really good part of the show that he really, aside from Sza, like, did the whole thing by himself. Just one man and a microphone. Like, that's really hard. And that was really impressive. I thought SZA was a real highlight of the show. Yeah. Even though I thought maybe I would know. I knew her song sounded like really familiar to me from TikTok and stuff, but it was just not. It wasn't as pop and mainstream as my particular interests align with.
- [43:12]
A
And I think a lot of people felt that way. And I think a lot of people. Like, I was seeing, like, a lot of the criticism is falling to Jay Z because he programs the live entertainment for the Super Bowl. Roc Nation is, like, partnered with NFL and Apple, and, like, he's the one who made this choice. And as you said, like, it's not entirely the right choice.
- [43:32]
B
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. I think maybe Apple is, like, shifting how we see super bowl performers. Like, maybe it's no longer this, like, time capsule type of thing where. Because one of the things that keeps coming to mind, it keeps super bowl performances are, like, getting viral at this time of year. And this is actually one of the Thanksgiving performers, the Creed. Let's go there. It was after 9, 11, like, Thanksgiving, but today, performance, like, it was one of the greatest moments in American history. And it's crazy. I like so many of the super bowl performances from 10, 20 years. We still watch and are still relevant. That's always been the Super Bowl's vibe. They wanted it to be timeless. And maybe Apple, since they took over, they're looking to be, like, a little bit more edgy, a little bit more, like, topical.
- [44:10]
A
Yeah.
- [44:11]
B
Because this was Kendrick's year. He just won all the Grammys. If there was a performer to perform this year, it's Kendrick Lamar. So maybe they're shifting a little bit, like, how they perceive and how they select the halftime show performers. Because if it's not from this, like, we look at it so, like, time capsule, right?
- [44:28]
A
Yeah.
- [44:29]
B
But maybe they're not. Maybe they're just, like, it's 2025. Who was.
- [44:32]
A
Let's do a cool show. We're on the.
- [44:34]
B
That represents the year.
- [44:36]
A
Yeah. Yeah. No, and we're just, like, cool. We're doing a cool show.
- [44:40]
B
Yeah. So maybe, like, it's no longer such a. Because when we think about who. We're always saying, like, Pink would be great because she has so many hits.
- [44:47]
A
People who would just, like, encompass as many possible people as possible, even though you're never gonna get someone who everybody loves or everybody likes even, but, like, someone who can capture as many people.
- [44:59]
B
As possible, it also is worth noting, every single year, the next day, people say is the worst one I've ever seen. Like, they see that every fucking. Oh, my God. Every year they say that. So it's just one of those things. Where time will truly tell.
- [45:13]
A
Yeah.
- [45:14]
B
And when you go back and see, like, some of the most viewed ones of all time, because I was actually watching somebody did a tick Tock the top 10 most viewed, and it. It wasn't what you think. And I think Shakira and JLO were like, the number two. And I remember after people were like, well, it was good.
- [45:27]
A
But yeah, no, I remember watching that and been, like, dazzled. So good.
- [45:32]
B
It was amazing. It was seriously amazing. The.
- [45:34]
A
And yes, time will tell, but you also have to, like, give credit to how you felt just watching it in the moment.
- [45:39]
B
Yeah. I do think it was the type of performance that really could have benefited from a couple of more guest spots. There was a lot of rumors that Beyonce was going to be there because her whole family was there without her. So it's like, oh, yeah, of course she's backstage getting ready. Like, I liked the Serena Williams nod.
- [45:55]
A
And then also the whole. A lot of it was like, you know, more of the diss to Drake because the song Not Like Us is a Drake diss track. And then there were a bunch of, like, things in there. Even the necklace. A is apparently for a minor.
- [46:09]
B
Yeah. Because it was a minor. A. It was a small.
- [46:12]
A
But, like, there's just so. And on the one hand, I'm like, yes. Take this grudge all the way to the Super Bowl. Like, never let your haters, like, stop.
- [46:22]
B
Stop you from doing your thing.
- [46:23]
A
Like, never stop hating your haters. But on the other hand, it's, like, so crazy that this whole thing was, like, put together to, like, give an F you to Drake.
- [46:32]
B
I agree. So at the Grammys, I was like, loving the haterade. I'm like, yes, keep going. But at some point, like, you should be there, like, you know, and promote your own self and your own accomplishments, not like, this person that you hate. As somebody who believes there's no. Like, you can't take hate too far, I actually think, like, it was a little far. Like, just he had to perform the song, obviously, in the whole stadium. Being like, a minor is embarrassing for Drake enough. Like, the necklace, I feel like you make it about you. Like, this is so awesome. You did it by yourself.
- [46:59]
A
So Serena Williams was there, and I just assumed it was because, like, she has history with Drake and, like, so it's like a fellow enemy. But then also people said that it was because of something with Wimbledon. Oh, yeah. But I do think it had to do. I'm sorry. It has to do.
- [47:13]
B
Obviously, they were, like, briefly dated on and off. Oh, yeah. Oh, so she, like, famously did the Crip walk when she won Wimbledon. It's like this iconic moment, and that was the dance that she did. Yeah, but why were they playing it during? Not like us? No, I'm telling you, it was about Drake. And it's like Drake is just, like, kind of like a big loser. It's crazy how there was a moment in time where Drake was so famous. Like, every song coming on that high line bling. Like, everything he did was so major, so mega. He was the plane. It was just. It was all too much. And obviously that level of fame is, like, not sustainable. But to go from that to, like, Big Time Loser, where everyone took Kendrick's side. How did that happen?
- [47:56]
A
I don't know. But honestly, Drake would have been a better halftime show.
- [48:01]
B
Just because when you think about hits.
- [48:03]
A
Hits.
- [48:03]
B
Yeah, but Drake's also not American.
- [48:06]
A
Does it have to be American?
- [48:08]
B
So I was actually.
- [48:09]
A
Because I was like, Harry Styles, but it's not American.
- [48:13]
B
I was watching a video, a compilation of people who have said no to the Super Bowl. One of them was Dolly. She says she doesn't think she's famous enough and has enough hits for it, which I thought was so crazy. The other was Adele, and I thought it was like, oh, because she's British. But she was like, no, nobody wants to hear my songs at the Super Bowl. Like, it's supposed to be fun. Like, we're supposed to be, like, vibing, not crying. But I thought it was more so because she's British. Even though some people, like. I don't know. Harry Styles. Yes. Is British, but, like, his music is so American, you know, it's like, it's a part of American culture. I do feel like if Adele got selected, I would be like, this is not the vibe because she's British.
- [48:47]
A
I would immensely enjoy it. But it would.
- [48:49]
B
Of course. But it would be. It would be too British.
- [48:51]
A
Because she's British.
- [48:53]
B
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, the music. I. I don't think. I don't think it wouldn't be the vibe. Not because of the music, because she's seriously too British.
- [48:59]
A
Okay. What about Celine Dion?
- [49:04]
B
I think she's too French.
- [49:05]
A
French.
- [49:06]
B
Like, honestly? Yeah, French Canadian.
- [49:09]
A
Okay. Wow.
- [49:11]
B
But I don't know why with Harry Styles, like, you don't feel that way. Yeah. But maybe it's because his music is super bowl appropriate. It's, like, fun.
- [49:20]
A
Yeah. I don't even think he would be like, that's a performance I would enjoy. But I don't. I Wouldn't even like, put him on my list of like, this is a great idea.
- [49:28]
B
No, no. Or like, I don't know, because I do feel like Apple has shifted a little bit the. The criteria for. For who is eligible to be a performer. So I think the list of people we, like come up with maybe no longer applies.
- [49:45]
A
Yeah, yeah, I would. Especially with like Jay Z as the curator. Like.
- [49:50]
B
Right. What is Jay Z like? I don't know if Jay Z listens to Pink.
- [49:53]
A
No, I don't think Jay Z is gonna put Pink up for the job.
- [49:56]
B
Well, he's so wrong for that and he should be fired.
- [49:58]
A
Okay, I agree. I think they need an expert curator and I don't think that Jay Z is the expert curator.
- [50:04]
B
Well, so he is. Apple has. This is only the third Super Bowl Apple has done. And the one before was Usher. And I actually think that was a really good choice.
- [50:11]
A
I thought it was a good choice too.
- [50:12]
B
And before that was Rihanna, which was also like a bomb ass choice.
- [50:15]
A
So a good choice and a good performance and a good execution.
- [50:19]
B
Yes. So things he like, actually has done a good job except for the whole, you know, 13 year old thing, which I. I actually can't get over.
- [50:31]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [50:32]
B
They were on the tv. They showed him. They're like, hove in the house. And I was like, call the police. Like, there's hope in the house.
- [50:38]
A
A minor.
- [50:39]
B
I. You want to talk about it? Oh, my God. Yeah.
- [50:42]
A
It's just. It's such a sick, twisted industry. Too much like you can't hold any of them. None of them are like, it's a spider man. It's a spider man meme where they're.
- [50:52]
B
All just pointing at each other. Right.
- [50:54]
A
That's why if you need an expert curator, Kenny Ortega should do the Super Bowl. I was actually just watching a clip of Michael Jackson's so True. I was watching a clip of Michael Jackson's super bowl appearance and it was like probably a part of some documentary because people were speaking on it. Like the. His people that he worked with and Kenny Ortega was talking about. I think he directed Michael Jackson's super bowl appearance. He should be the official director of the Super Bowl. The choreographer say on, like, who does it? Because he knows talent.
- [51:23]
B
It should be fan voted. Well, no, because then Taylor Swift would win every year. Like, some people just have fans who are like, not chronically online and just.
- [51:29]
A
Like go to work. It'd be like Selena Gomez.
- [51:32]
B
Yeah, right, right, right, right.
- [51:35]
A
Okay.
- [51:36]
B
Well, they would be bot farming.
- [51:38]
A
Those are the super bowl stories.
- [51:42]
B
Well, the Commercials just really quickly were.
- [51:45]
A
So bad, I can't remember one of them.
- [51:47]
B
I can remember one because it was the only one that actually made me laugh and that I hadn't seen before. I was shocked at how. And I didn't even actively seek out commercials. Like, I guess they've been playing them on TV and then, like, also releasing them on Social. Yeah. So I had seen. I had seen all the commercials except for Mountain Dew, where they had Seal up on a rock as a seal singing a kiss from a rose. That was fucking funny. Okay. And, like, slay. And I hadn't seen it yet. Like, I was so annoyed. I was like, I see all. All these commercials, and I just wanted to give a major shout out to UberEats. Because I feel like every year, UberEats spends the most money on celebrities, the most amount of commercials. Like, they have so many placements, and they never dazzle me. And last night was no exception. They had Matthew McConaughey and every fucking celebrity with this, like, football was inspired by food commercial.
- [52:33]
A
Yeah.
- [52:33]
B
It was so unfunny and so expensive, and they're, like, constantly slaying the department of wasting money. Like, they are always. Remember the year before they reunited Ross and Rachel and friends. Like, they're always doing so much, and it's so not, like, good. Creative.
- [52:47]
A
Yeah. And you wanted to give them a shout out? Is that what you said? Yeah.
- [52:50]
B
For being the worst. They stood out to me. I'm like, this is another year where I'm, like, constantly rolling my eyes at UberEats. Like, they do so much and it's giving, like, really try hard energy.
- [53:00]
A
That's so funny. All the only commercials I remember, like, Intuit, TurboTax, which actually looks.
- [53:05]
B
What'd they do?
- [53:06]
A
Good? No, they just had, like. Literally, they were in every single block of commercials. Just, like, about how you can, like, go for a run and someone's doing your taxes and it looks like a good service.
- [53:17]
B
Poppy, the prebiotic soda.
- [53:19]
A
We're gonna get into that. And then the only other.
- [53:21]
B
They had a Super bowl commercial, too.
- [53:22]
A
Yes. So.
- [53:23]
B
And Alex Earl was in it.
- [53:24]
A
Yes. The other commercial. You know, these Dunkings commercials. Like, why does it feel like an inside joke that I'm on the outside of?
- [53:33]
B
Because you are.
- [53:34]
A
No, but, like, what are they doing? Like, they're like beings like fools. And I'm just like.
- [53:38]
B
It's a lot about, like, northeastern Boston culture, which is crazy for, like, a nationally televised game.
- [53:43]
A
Right? Like, Ben Affleck and the Dun Kings and then Bill Belichick. And his girlfriend. Like, what are you guys doing? I just. I feel like such an outsider.
- [53:51]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get it too. I don't, like, fully understand, like, the beef and, like, the whole concept, but I think it's like they've just run.
- [53:58]
A
Away with this storyline.
- [54:00]
B
Yeah. It's like people in Boston, like, Like Dunkin a lot, obviously, but more so because it's like, it's no frills. It's not like Starbucks fancy macchiato. It's just like coffee in a. In a cup. And like, you know, for the real working man, they like a coffee on a go. And I think that's the inspiration. I think.
- [54:18]
A
No, but then there's, like, rap battles. Like, I just feel like I've missed it. I've missed.
- [54:24]
B
But you're not the only one. A lot of us got left behind. Like, I'm not even 100. Sure.
- [54:28]
A
Okay, great. And then, yes, Poppy had a commercial with influencers, but they are also getting dragged. Canceled due to a decision to send $25,000 vending machines to influencers ahead of their Super Bowl. Commercial.
- [54:42]
B
Commercial, yes. So it's like a big pr. A lot of influencers get pr. They get, like, products. Sometimes they get, like, handbags. Some people take it really far. And Poppy was like, hold my beer. And they sent these kind of really pargy. They look like the Kylie cosmetics, like, vending machines. They're like these new wave. It's not, you know, your middle school vending machine. It's like this really pargy kind of robot. It's huge. They had them delivered to, like, a select few 32 influencers and fully stocked with probably, like, a hundred cans. And you could just like, it's free, so you could just. A lot of influencers, like, left it in their garage. I didn't see any New York City based influencers getting it because I don't know where the hell you would put it and how you would get it in the elevator. But it immediately started, like, this wave of drama on social media.
- [55:22]
A
You put it in the lobby for the whole building.
- [55:25]
B
You could. That's a nice idea.
- [55:27]
A
Yeah.
- [55:28]
B
It started this whole conversation online, kind of similar to the conversations that were being had about Tarte island and the Tarte trip. Just basically being like, this is super wasteful. Influencers get everything for free. Like, give this to a real customer. Why don't you give back to your customers? And that was kind of the thing with tarte too. It's like, well, you should take your customers on a trip. Well, no, One would want to watch that. That's the problem. No, for real. Like, it's such a nice concept. And actually, Tarte does do that. And by the way, I've never seen a picture from it. Like, it's not viral. It doesn't make the brand money. These brands are. They're not charities. Like, they're here to create buzz. Buzz equals marketing. Marketing equals money. Like, customers get influenced by these types of things. And so, like, the response to everything on social media with these brands, especially, like, these more online brands like Poppy being like, well, what if you should just do it for your real customers instead? Yeah, I mean, go bother Walmart. Like, leave. Like, it just. It's just a dumb concept. Like, what is this? Free for all? Like, this is people's jobs.
- [56:23]
A
It's true. It's just, like, weird when, like, there's something that's, like, so commonplace. Like, everyone does. It's just, like, part of the business. And then, like, people just, like, seek out one company who's doing it and, like, get mad about it. Some people made the point, like, why would you. Like, apparently it's about $800,000 they spent sending 32 people these gifts when you could have put the vending machines somewhere with more traffic. Like, which one influencer? So ready?
- [56:45]
B
Ready. So the people have to give the vending machines back in a couple of weeks. A lot of them have actually already returned it, and I'm sure then Poppy will go put them in parks and shit, like, for actual. It's called, like, using a billboard, like, in multiple different ways. So I really. I don't understand the. The backlash. I don't think it's a big deal. Especially when you see, like, a. Nobody's giving Uber a problem for spending $8 million on one commercial last night. Like, this is what companies at that level do. They spend money. And actually, Maureen from Tarte was making a bunch of TikToks, being like, tarte will never buy a Super bowl commercial. Like, we'd rather spend $8 million on a trip.
- [57:25]
A
Right.
- [57:26]
B
So it's literally the same thing. Think about how much we talked about Tarte Island. Everybody was talking about it. That's marketing for Tart. And honestly, I think it's better money better spent than being one in 55 commercials last night. You spent $8 million. That's more embarrassing to me than giving a couple of influencers vending machines.
- [57:42]
A
Yeah. And for two.
- [57:43]
B
For a grand total of 800,000 in which you're getting the vending machines back. And now, look, we're all talking about Poppy. It was successful. Like, congratulations, you played yourself.
- [57:51]
A
Yeah. I saw Rachel Kirkconnell got a vending machine, so I saw her video, and I just thought. I didn't even know about this controversy. I just thought that was, like, so cute. And then she said she had to give it back. I was like, oh, damn. But I guess, yeah, who needs a thousand cans of Poppy?
- [58:06]
B
Yeah.
- [58:06]
A
But it was just, like, a fun, cute concept. Like, it's marketing.
- [58:10]
B
Not only that, like, go Poppy. Like, they're a brand that really invests mostly in, like, digital and influencer marketing. And they got a Super bowl ad last night. Like, that's sick. And the fact that they wanted it to be full of, like, Alex, Earl, Jake, Shane was in it. Like, a lot of influencers. Like, the people who got them there. I love that. Like, this is. And I think it's a female founded brand. Like, what off? Like, it's good.
- [58:29]
A
Yeah.
- [58:30]
B
Like, why shouldn't they be up there spending as much Money as Matthew McConaughey and Uber Eats? Oh, man. I'm, like, on an Uber Eats, like, mission today. Like, hate them. But even though I'm, like, their number one customer, like, where's the energy for those? For Doritos?
- [58:43]
A
Yeah, Doritos commercials.
- [58:46]
B
The worst. Actually, did they even do commercials?
- [58:48]
A
I saw some, like, some space orb was, like, stealing the Doritos from a guy on his couch. Like.
- [58:56]
B
Cool.
- [58:57]
A
They were serious. The commercials were so bad.
- [58:59]
B
They were. Pete Davidson was, like, doing a lot last night after being relatively quiet for a while. He was actually at the super bowl. And I think it was in one or two commercials.
- [59:06]
A
Oh, yeah. And it's also funny, like, who gets tapped? Like, I would love to be a fly on the wall. The most random ideas, which are sometimes so good. Here's a random idea that was actually good. It was the. The circle water bottle and Adam Devine.
- [59:21]
B
Yep.
- [59:22]
A
That was actually a really cute commercial.
- [59:24]
B
You know, it was a good one.
- [59:25]
A
When the person in the room's like, what if we got Adam Divine to call his wife?
- [59:30]
B
What? Wait, you know what was actually a good one. That's really appropriate for this conversation? Taco Bell. They were like, we are not gonna use big celebrities for our. We're gonna give it to our consumers. And so then should be so happy. Right. But then they also. So they put up, like, a million pictures really quickly. They're like, if you're in this screenshot, it. And all their customers, like, from social media, they took pictures of, like, everybody who takes pictures at Taco Bell. It was cute. Then they also had like LeBron James and tons of celebrities being like, wait, we're not in the commercial. And like the lights were being turned off on them. So it wasn't enough to have your customers in your commercial because nobody would have been talking about that. But now we're talking about it because LeBron James was in it, being funny, Being like, am I still getting paid for this? Haha. So they did have to spend all that money on the commercial and the celebrities, but then put a couple of pictures of their customers in it being like, look, send this to your mom. You're in a taco. Go talk about commercial.
- [60:19]
A
Oh my God. So funny. Yeah, no, I think actually like a more worthy thing for people to get annoyed about is like commercial actors are out of a job from all the celebrities and how much brands spend on one the super bowl commercial. And then all the celebrities, like some of these brands have so many huge celebrities and it's like, give that job to working actors who need it 1,000%. To me, it's like, I hate the celebrities in the commercials. Like, it's just, it's so not creative and it's to looks like a waste of money when they could be doing so many other things using their real customers. And I think that people online, instead of getting mad at Poppy, like a startup business that's like working with influencers, should get mad at the big celebrities, how much they get paid for these commercials.
- [61:03]
B
Yeah, no, it's so true. And also, you just reminded me of something. Hold on. I was about to make a firepoint. It just like escaped my brain.
- [61:09]
A
Bring it back.
- [61:13]
B
Flow from progressive. I was thinking about, oh, that's the best.
- [61:16]
A
By the way. When someone can do a commercial regular, a celebrity, and they like make a regular person a star.
- [61:21]
B
I remember there was also no commercials that made me cry. I feel like every year there's one or two, like really beautiful ones about like family or nostalgia or like a pet dying. I remember Amazon prime farmer's dog slayed a couple of years ago. Where was, where was the tear jerker? Yeah, no, there wasn't one last time.
- [61:37]
A
No, I. I wasn't feeling very moved.
- [61:41]
B
Yeah, sad. Sad.
- [61:46]
A
So that super bowl commercials, are you ready for our next story? A little.
- [61:51]
B
By the way, what story are we up to right now?
- [61:53]
A
Technically number four.
- [61:54]
B
Oh, shoot. No, I'm not ready.
- [61:55]
A
Oh yeah, no, we're not ready.
- [61:57]
B
Not me forgetting I have a job to do.
- [61:58]
A
I know. I told you it was a mush mash.

A
T U R T. You're welcome. Our next story, Brianna Chicken fry. It's playing koi addressing rumors about a romance with West Wilson from Summer House.
- [65:07]
B
I thought his name was Wes, so.
- [65:09]
A
I think his, his name is west. And then like his friends call him Wes.
- [65:13]
B
Got it. Okay. Yeah, they were both at the Super Bowl.
- [65:15]
A
Friends are too lazy to pronounce the.
- [65:17]
B
T, which I feel I'm kind of into. Wes, like, yeah, I don't have tea. So these rumors got like, really were popping off over the weekend on social media. And I think maybe it would have died down except that they kind of confirmed it. Well, west did.
- [65:35]
A
What did Wes say? Because she was asked by Page Six about West and how they're spending time together. And she's like said, who? What? And spun around nervously. She said, I haven't really thought about it. I've just been thinking about the super bowl, thinking about who's gonna win the game, placing my bets. I haven't had time to think about West. No, no. But she did post a picture, like a selfie of the two of them, like partying. I think it's just like maybe they were Having fun this weekend. Like, do you think that they knew each other before this weekend?
- [66:03]
B
Maybe they knew of each other, but no, I don't think they personally knew each other. I think there was, like, a small group of, like, Internet people who were at the Super Bowl.
- [66:10]
A
Yeah.
- [66:11]
B
Compared to, like, celebrities. And so they probably just stuck together. And I could see them, like, just hooking up. I don't think this is a great love, and I don't think this is either of their next relationships. I think they probably hooked up, had a really good time. I can see them getting along personality wise. Yeah. A lot of people are like, oh, my God. Does this mean Brianna on Summer House? I don't think so. Although that wouldn't be the worst for both things. Like, I actually think Summer House could really use somebody, like, young and fresh and relevant like Brianna. And Wes could use something to distract us from what he did from Sierra. Like, I think it would be good for everyone, but I don't think that's where this is leading. I think they just, like, hooked up and probably had a really fun weekend. Like, you Forget, like, they're 25. Like, that's what you do when you're 25.
- [66:49]
A
Yeah. It's just crazy that we know about it. Like, I feel like this sort of thing that in a few months, like, one of them shares on their podcast, and we're like, oh, my God.
- [66:55]
B
Yeah.
- [66:56]
A
Like, that we know that they were probably together this weekend. It's just like, it's so. It's so much to know. I do not ship just because.
- [67:05]
B
No.
- [67:06]
A
A lot from him. Not my favorite.
- [67:08]
B
Brianna deserves better, and I just want.
- [67:10]
A
The absolute best for her.
- [67:12]
B
Yeah.
- [67:12]
A
But I'm glad she's having fun. And she is having fun. And, like, fun is very important to her right now. And, like, I think it's good.
- [67:18]
B
By the way, Craig was at the super bowl, as was Paige. They were both rooting for the Eagles. I saw both of their videos. It appears that they were actually on complete opposite sides of the stadium. Thank God. But just unfortunate.
- [67:29]
A
Why does Craig root for the Eagles?
- [67:31]
B
He didn't. He was, like, with a bunch of people. He was like, thanks, Eagles, for letting me join your fandom for the weekend. Like, he was just going, like, to.
- [67:37]
A
Go and pagers for them because of.
- [67:40]
B
I think that the guy that she's, like, friends with. Slash. She says she's not dating, but. Well, like, she obviously, when she said.
- [67:47]
A
That guy's not my boyfriend, like, yeah, because they've probably been dating for a few weeks. Like, that person's not your boyfriend yet.
- [67:52]
B
I also saw a theory that she's good friends with his sister. Like, it could just be that.
- [67:56]
A
I know, but those pictures from that game, like, that was a date.
- [68:00]
B
There was just one blurry picture. She could have just been sitting next to him. Maybe the sister was on the other side.
- [68:04]
A
Like, literally, which friend takes you to a game in a box?
- [68:11]
B
You're okay. So the theory that I had heard was that, like, she's friends with Paige's sister and Paige's friends with her sister, and the sister's, like, a huge Giggly Squad fan. So, like, she'd be like, brother, can you take me and my cool friend to the Super Bowl?
- [68:23]
A
Got it.
- [68:24]
B
And then maybe, like, Paige and him are, like, vibing, and, like, maybe that's how this girl gets, like, her brother to marry Paige to Sorbo. But I'm just. It's an alternate theory.
- [68:31]
A
Okay, I. I hadn't considered that there was someone else in the mix and that it wasn't a date.
- [68:36]
B
Well, because everybody was, like, freaking out that I. I guess the guy was backstage at one of their shows.
- [68:42]
A
With the sister.
- [68:43]
B
With the sister. Exactly. The sister is, like a huge giggler.
- [68:47]
A
No, I didn't even think about him backstage of the show. I just remember the picture of them, like, in the box, and I was.
- [68:52]
B
Like, I mean, Jackie. But it's just not even a picture. It's two people sitting next to each other in a box in the most blurry, zoomed in photo of all time.
- [68:57]
A
But, like, I never considered, like, there might be other. That, like, he didn't invite her there.
- [69:01]
B
She could be a plus one.
- [69:03]
A
Yeah, totally.
- [69:04]
B
But she also, like, could be on a date, which is totally fine and normal.
- [69:07]
A
Totally fine and normal. Now, they've been broken up, like, eight weeks.
- [69:10]
B
It's four. Yeah. What?
- [69:12]
A
Where? It's February.
- [69:14]
B
Thank God.
- [69:15]
A
Whoa. Whoa. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Little anniversary news? SNL50 anniversary special will feature Bad Bunnies, Sabrina Carpenter, John Mulaney, Tom Hanks, and more.
- [69:30]
B
So, I'm sorry, I literally, like, completely zoned out. Can you start this right from the beginning?
- [69:35]
A
SNL 50th Anniversary Special.
- [69:38]
B
I started listening when you said Sabrina Carpenter. I'm like, wait, what's she doing with John Belaney?
- [69:41]
A
I know she's performing or contributing to the special. Steve Martin, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny, John Mulaney, Dave Chappelle, and numerous other stars who've been associated with the show over the years. Scar Joe will make an appearance. It will air on February 16th. It's a three hour long live telecast on.
- [70:00]
B
You're kidding.
- [70:01]
A
50Th anniversary. It's SNL at a glance.
- [70:04]
B
So literally, is this like on Saturday night at 11:30 or is it like a different time slot?
- [70:11]
A
February 16th is a Sunday. Oh, so it's a Sunday evening broadcast.
- [70:19]
B
Oh, they are just loving to abuse our Sunday evenings.
- [70:21]
A
They are.
- [70:23]
B
I actually think this will be good. I know everything SNL does is, like, so lame these days, but when they get there, when you really think about the breadth of talent who's come from SNL and they all still love and respect Lauren and show up whenever he asks. Like, when you get them all in a room, it's like the greatest of our time.
- [70:38]
A
Yeah. And like SNL history, there's a lot to pull from. There's so many great moments, performances, like, people who have come out of it. So, like, when they go into the archives, it's always good.
- [70:47]
B
Oh, and I'm sure there'll be, like, tributes to, like, Norm MacDonald and Chris Farley.
- [70:51]
A
People like, the current stuff is what's bad. But this is great because it's not current.
- [70:55]
B
Right. The whole. The whole point of it is to celebrate the good old days.
- [70:58]
A
Yeah. So I. This has the makings to be something good.
- [71:02]
B
Love to see Sabrina out here just like getting gigs, booking things, you know?
- [71:06]
A
Yeah. Miley will be.
- [71:07]
B
She gonna. Oh, wait, the Barry Keoghan Squarespace commercial was actually good.
- [71:11]
A
Oh, yeah. But it's like, whose idea was that to have, like, Barry Keogan riding? Like, I just like to be on the fly on the wall for some of these meetings. And it's like, like they. They pick the most random people or even the Ritz salty. And it was like Aubrey Plaza.
- [71:27]
B
And the guy, their stank face guy.
- [71:28]
A
Who was that?
- [71:29]
B
I forget.
- [71:29]
A
His name is like Napoleon from Nine Perfect Strangers.
- [71:33]
B
Wait, who was it? I can't even remember, like, his face. I probably.
- [71:37]
A
I. I'll tell you his name. You're not gonna. Michael Shannon. You have to Google him. Google him.
- [71:47]
B
Okay. Because I don't know, like, who that is.
- [71:49]
A
You do. He's like.
- [71:50]
B
And I'm like, blanking on the whole commercial.
- [71:52]
A
He's like, in so many things.
- [71:53]
B
Oh, yeah. Classic face.
- [71:55]
A
Classic.
- [71:56]
B
Honestly, that whole commercial was for this.
- [72:01]
A
And it's like, why those two. That's not even who I would think of as salty.
- [72:05]
B
Oh, you know who else crushed the commercials? Who? The cast of Schitt's Creek. They were in every commercial because, you know, Dan Levy is homes dot Com. And then Eugene Levy was Little Caesar with the must. With the eyebrows flying away. Very funny. And Catherine O'Hara was in the Michelob Ultra commercial. But did you see that? I had thought it at the same time, Adam Brody was in the Pringles commercial, and he's like, we need more Pringles. They're like, blow on the can. And then the Pringles mustache, like, flies off. And then everybody ever. All these famous people with mustaches, like, their mustaches flew. It was like the same exact creative from Little Caesar. It's like Little Caesar had the eyebrows flying.
- [72:45]
A
Sparky Pilastery from Eugene leaving.
- [72:48]
B
It was Sparky plastery syndrome.
- [72:49]
A
They used the same agency that only had one idea.
- [72:52]
B
Do you think, like, do you think. Because it looked visually so similar, because it was like a mustache with two parts, it looked like a set of eyebrows. I was like, wait, this is the same commercial I just saw.
- [73:00]
A
I think they got Sparky plastered.
- [73:03]
B
I think they got. Yeah. I would love to know, like, the drama at the agencies right now, like, if it was really just parallel thinking. But it's such a random. Sometimes you could see how two people could come to the same conclusion. Right. I don't see how two totally separate teams could have come up with the Pringles mustache flying off and that Eugene Levy eyebrow flying off.
- [73:22]
A
I don't know. Drama.
- [73:25]
B
Drama.
- [73:27]
A
Well, those are the fast five stories that make feel as though you needed.
- [73:30]
B
To know them to be hit. Everything, it was just such a. It was literally, I got in bed at 4:00 and it was over at, like, 11. So there was so much. I hope I didn't miss anything.
- [73:39]
A
No, I feel like that was everything. Jalen won mvp.
- [73:45]
B
Of course. Like, who else? I mean, it's never. Not the.
- [73:51]
A
The quarterback.
- [73:52]
B
Quarterback. Even though, like, sometimes, like. But what about Saquon? Like, it's just always the quarterback. Unless the quarterback's, like, injured or something. Yeah. Even though I often think about, like, my team, the Niners, if they ever won, like, they came really close these last couple of years. Like, would it be Brock or would it be Christian McCaffrey? Because Christian McCaffrey was in.
- [74:09]
A
Yeah.
- [74:09]
B
Was injured this season, and, like, they didn't even make it to the playoffs. So it's really. It's kind of Christian's thing.
- [74:14]
A
Yeah, no, they have a lot of other really strong players and, you know, notoriously don't have the strongest quarterback.
- [74:20]
B
Right. Like the franchise guy.
- [74:23]
A
Yeah. That is interesting to think about, but.
- [74:26]
B
They'Re going to Disney World and I just Honestly, if you're a resident of Philadelphia, stay safe because your team won. And that just means, like, destruction is upon you. So don't go outside, hide your kids, hide your wife, and just. It'll all blow over soon because the. The parade's coming to town. I'm sure last night, like, the city was engulfed in flames.
- [74:45]
A
Yeah. Yeah, it's already started. But congrats to the Philly fans. I'm happy for you.
- [74:52]
B
Me too. It's. It's a nice group. Zealous.
- [74:54]
A
And they had a great team. They played some beautiful ball, and they deserved it.
- [74:58]
B
And they had a good season, too. I really did not think they were going to win. And I do think, like, it's easy to say, well, of course they won. The other team was bad. I think two things can be true. I think they played some of the best football they've ever played. While the Chiefs were also bad. Like, they didn't only win because the Chiefs were bad. They were. They were just, like, unstoppable.
- [75:14]
A
Yeah, they were. But it's a shame we'll never really know. The Chiefs were just, like, falling over themselves. Right?
- [75:19]
B
Because what I had said, why I thought they weren't going to win is, like, they absolutely crushed the Washington, whatever their name is these days. And I was like, well, yeah, the Roz Washingtons were awful. Like, that doesn't mean you're good. Just because the other team is bad. And now I'm rethinking. I'm like, maybe they actually were a decent team. Washington.
- [75:36]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [75:38]
B
Perhaps charity was wrong. It's rare.
- [75:41]
A
No, I. I don't think that you were.
- [75:44]
B
Me neither. I never am. Well, that's our show. Super bowl recaps. Blix night long.
- [75:55]
