  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh so thank you so much for joining us on this episode of the show.
• 1:56
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh there's so much to talk about.
• 1:59
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh we had uh really uh really crazy winter weather last week, and so we're getting back into back into the swing of things, I guess you could say, uh, with our uh recording, and uh we'll be doing some TikTok lives and uh just being where we belong, right here in front of you, uh whether you're watching or listening.
• 2:29
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh so uh one of the topics I want to bring up because it is um coming up, uh so we we talked a little bit about the Olympics that are coming up in uh uh Milan, uh Cortina.
• 2:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh that is coming up uh here, uh opening ceremonies uh within within the week, as well as the American Football Um Super Bowl.
• 3:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And we're gonna we'll tackle the uh the uh the American Football Super Bowl uh halftime show uh because it's been a very uh very interesting uh part of controversy, I guess you'd say.
• 3:25
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Not so much, I mean, I guess you could say on the player side of things, but we're gonna cover the music.
• 3:31
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we we believe in culture more than politics, uh as you know.
• 3:36
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh so it allows uh us, uh you know, we uh we also want to help uh over three billion people over the course of my lifetime and beyond.
• 3:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so with the the halftime show uh of the American Football Super Bowl, kind of the the pinnacle of advertising, uh where all year long uh companies are uh if they have the budgets and they're able to afford it because the costs keep going up, up and up uh in a way, almost up, up and away, uh kind of like uh you know hot air balloon or just a regular balloon.
• 4:21
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so what we're finding and have found is so there is kind of this two-way highway, I guess you could call it.
• 4:34
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: One one way is the American Super Bowl halftime show.
• 4:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It is uh it is usually, I think around like 12 minutes or so, plus or minus a few minutes.
• 4:50
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh that's not the that's not what we're talking about.
• 4:52
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we're talking about uh the entertainment.
• 4:57
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh so who's actually gonna fill up that that 12-minute or 13-minute uh halftime show?
• 5:03
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, you know, once uh once the halftime has uh come, uh the teams and coaches, and everybody heads to the locker room, uh, then comes the staff to put together uh stages and uh and record time.
• 5:21
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And Bad Bunny is uh is who is slated to be uh performing at the American uh Super Bowl, American football super bowl halftime performance.
• 5:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And there's been uh so personally, I don't I don't really know many of of Bad Bunny's songs.
• 5:54
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Maybe if I heard them and then I put you know I if I associated with uh with with Bad Bunny.
• 6:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um anyways, so there there's this controversy of you know here is an event that's on American soil, and uh and with the the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk last year, his wife is uh has decided to basically have like competition for the this the halftime show of the entertainment portion.
• 6:39
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So there's gonna be a halftime show that's gonna be held on a another network.
• 6:44
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I don't know that the network has been announced yet.
• 6:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: If it has, I apologize.
• 6:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I I don't I don't know.
• 6:54
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh but it so that's what's gonna happen is there's gonna be two halftime shows.
• 7:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh so there's gonna be a halftime show at the actual Super Bowl and then on at a different location, and it might be very close to uh the uh to the Super Bowl location.
• 7:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm not sure what location it's gonna be held at.
• 7:16
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm not sure what uh network, what TV network is gonna broadcast, what radio networks are gonna cover, uh what podcasts are are gonna cover.
• 7:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh and and so there's this there there are these thoughts that uh Erica Kirk, Charlie's uh Charlie's white, uh is putting together.
• 7:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh yes, kind of like a like an all-american uh Super Bowl performance to kind of rival uh the the con the competition of the Bad Bunny uh Super Bowl entertainment at halftime.
• 7:59
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And one of the big things I I think is Bad Bunny speaks uh I think Spanish.
• 8:10
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And and so that that's I think the part of the controversies like here we are having we're having an event on American soil and and we're we're gonna have a uh an entertainer uh musician that his songs again don't quote me on all this.
• 8:35
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm I'm going off of what I'm what I'm hearing uh is going to be performing songs in his native language as opposed to English.
• 8:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so Erica Kurt and others decided, you know, because there was one comment I I remember Bad Bunny making says, Well, you have this many months to learn Spanish, learn his language, and I think that set a lot of people off.
• 9:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Again, I'm not and we're not trying to take sides, we're just trying to share the facts.
• 9:20
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So he did say that, Bad Bunny did say that.
• 9:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um, and Erica Kirk and and others, uh, they they decided, okay, well, we're we're in the United States, we're in America, so we're we're gonna we're gonna have our own halftime show.
• 9:37
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so there's different artists and musicians are coming together to to do that.
• 9:43
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And I guess that's one one of the parts that is great about the United States is that we have the choice to do that, so we have the choice, and we're gonna have the choice if we have access to a television or radio, etc., to pick number one, or we're even watching the game.
• 10:09
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: If not watching the game, then it does doesn't even apply to any uh and and any of the those of us that aren't gonna be watching the game or aren't going to be tuning in for the halftime show.
• 10:22
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Then there are those that are going to just keep keep the the TV station and bars and other places where uh the show uh where the uh the Super Bowl is gonna be held, that they're gonna cover one way or another a halftime show.
• 10:42
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so they have the decision to make uh probably heavily based off of the patrons, the people who uh are visiting and spending time and money and in that in those locations, uh, who are gonna probably dictate which halftime show is going to be shown at those establishments.
• 11:06
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And then there's those at of us at home, or if we we're going to a Super Bowl party, um that we get to decide, okay, which which halftime show are we gonna watch?
• 11:23
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Are we gonna watch the Bad Bunny show, or we're gonna watch you know the all-American uh halftime show?
• 11:32
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so a lot of controversy and it's coming up.
• 11:35
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So I just wanted to talk through that.
• 11:37
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That that's we talk about decision making and self-improvement, that we we're able to make the choice here in the United States.
• 11:49
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That's one thing that's great.
• 11:50
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We're able to have the choice.
• 11:52
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We don't have to watch it.
• 11:54
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: If we want to watch it, maybe we just watch the game.
• 11:57
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So once it's halftime, we know there's gonna be a halftime show, and then maybe you know, maybe we mingle with our guests that if we're having a party.
• 12:06
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um and we don't even we don't even watch, or we don't even pay attention to it, or we watch the show, the halftime show that is uh now scheduled uh for uh the actual halftime show uh of the NFL.
• 12:29
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And then we have the all-American halftime show.
• 12:34
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we have choices, and we're able to make those choices, we're able to vote, we're able to say, okay, there's ten of us here.
• 12:44
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: How many people want to watch this particular halftime show?
• 12:50
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay, how many people want to watch the other halftime show?
• 12:57
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We're able to do that.
• 12:58
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: If we're with our regular family unit, we're able to do the same thing, kind of like, eh, I want to watch this, I don't want to watch that.
• 13:09
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And we're able to to do that, and so while you know I I this this ties into the the Olympics and a lot.
• 13:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And what do I mean by that?
• 13:29
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay, so the Olympics coming up very you know, basically kicking off this weekend uh is gonna be held in Milan, Italy.
• 13:47
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay, so we're in the country of Italy.
• 13:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so I'm just thinking, just as like a I don't know, just a regular person uh in in the travels that I've had across the world thus far.
• 14:05
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: The it'd be it'd be pretty rare to have a an American English entertainment when you're in a country in this case Italy.
• 14:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You're gonna ha instead you're gonna have Italian culture, Italian language.
• 14:41
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Yes, it's gonna be translated and uh here in the United States and and uh other parts of the world, but it's gonna be very heavily based on the Italian culture, the Italian language, Italian people, and that's where I I think we have to just think and say, okay, we do, we we we support, we uh we're for you know voices for voices, no matter where you're at across the world.
• 15:25
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But each event the organizers are able to choose and select who they want to perform, what per what the performances are meant to be.
• 15:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: The opening, closing ceremonies has in a way uh like a movie or a play atmosphere where there's a lot of theatrics and fireworks on top of the sound and the and the singing and um and so I think that's where the Americ you know the the the American version of the American football super bowl halftime show is coming for that yeah, Erica Kirk and and those that are coming saying, hey, this is happening on our soil.
• 16:25
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's not that we don't like, not that we don't maybe listen to particular artists, it doesn't mean that at all.
• 16:37
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It just means the teams are from a certain country, most of the no say most, uh a lot of the patrons, a lot of people going to the show, uh going to the show, going to the game, American and and so we would we would think that we would have American entertainment and we juxtapose that uh with uh the Winter Olympics coming up in Milan, Italy, where we're gonna see the opening ceremonies, uh part of which you have the uh you know each country that is uh is competing in their uh a lot of their athletes that are competing.
• 17:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You know, some if they have games, matches the next day, and you know, they they might not be at the you know opening ceremonies, they may be at the closing ceremonies.
• 17:54
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But all that to say is we're really looking at kind of two situations really that are gonna be happening in the same weekend.
• 18:04
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You know, we're gonna have the the kickoff opening ceremonies in Milan, Italy for the Olympics.
• 18:14
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Heavily Italian culture, uh language.
• 18:21
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh again, it will be translated.
• 18:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so that's kind of to be expected, and that's why you know the Olympics rotates around so we can get more accustomed and learning more about other cultures.
• 18:39
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And then we take the other event, which is the American football super bowl, and some people have that same kind of mentality of we should be having American entertainment.
• 18:59
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's up for everybody to decide.
• 19:01
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's not up for me to decide.
• 19:04
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm not the end-all be-all, it's up to each one of us to decide what we want to watch, what we want to hear, if we want to watch or hear at all.
• 19:18
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We might not, or we may, but we're able to make those decisions, and I think that's really the the key is we're able to make those decisions that we do have choices.
• 19:34
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That's like I say with our show.
• 19:36
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Our show might be for somebody, or it might not be for somebody, and that's okay.
• 19:44
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: There's many, many, many, many, many, many other choices and decisions that uh others can make and watch and listen to.
• 19:58
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, that if there's a topic, if there's uh a uh a guest, something we're talking about that you're like, all right, big deal.
• 20:10
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You can change the channel.
• 20:12
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That that's what I do.
• 20:15
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Of course, we'd love to have you, and we'd love to have you watch and listen to our show more than not, but you have that choice of what you want to watch and what you want to listen to, and that really sums up our show here today.
• 20:35
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, if you're watching and listening, is we have the Olympics held in the country, Italy, and we have American Football Super Bowl happening, a halftime show, some of which, a lot of which may be in a foreign language that's not English.
• 21:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But we do have the choice if we want to watch a different halftime show that isn't English.
• 21:12
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so I think those are just things that we should we should just think about.
• 21:16
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And that in part is self-improvement because we are making the decisions that we want to make, or we're having the process of voting, and we we have a say if we're you know with a with a group of people that we can vote and say, okay, this many people said this particular halftime show, and this group of people chose.
• 21:49
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And it doesn't mean that we have to fight over it or anything like that.
• 21:55
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh there's a lot of us that have these smartphones and we're able to tune in and so if we're at a house party and what we're uh what we voted for isn't in a majority we could go into the other room and turn on our phone and find that other performance very easily and so we are we're a world of culture different cultures different languages and in most instances we are a world of choices that we're able able to make so if you can give us a big thumbs up like follow share subscribe if you're able to donate we are a 501c3 nonprofit charity uh we would very much appreciate that you can do that at lovevoices.org that is lovevoices.org that is lovevoices.org and if you spell it out it is l-o v e v o i c e s dotorg thank you for joining us we'll see you on the next episode of the voices for voices TV show and podcast it's been Justin Allen Hayes your host we love you we're thinking about you and until next time let's celebrate the voices of everybody and let's be a voice for you or somebody in need.
