Seahawks Win, Halftime Spin, Ads We Love, and Gifted Mugs · Rik and that Michele Chick

0:01
Welcome to Rick and That Michelle Chick, the weekly
0:05
podcast where your hosts, Rick and Michelle, confidently dive
0:10
into topics they know absolutely nothing about and somehow make
0:15
it sound legit. They're not experts.
0:17
They're not qualified. Honestly, they barely googled
0:20
it. So grab a drink, lower your
0:23
expectations, and let's pretend this counts as content.
0:28
So buckle up. Facts are optional, but the
0:31
bullshit? That's premium grade.
0:34
This is Rick and that Michelle chick.
0:41
Do you smell? Do you smell what that is?
0:44
Well, it smells like victory. I I think I I knew they were.
0:46
I knew you're going to say that. I Yeah.
0:49
And. And did I not call it?
0:51
Yeah, you did. I I.
0:53
I just said this was that's was a blowout.
0:55
The, the, the defense wins games and the way they rolled over
0:59
everybody, I'm like, they're this is not this is not going to
1:02
go the way you want it for the big game.
1:04
The nice thing at nice thing at work, I did end up getting some
1:07
Reese's peanut butter cups and I got some sugar free A&W from
1:11
Paddy 'cause she picked the Patriots and then they did the
1:13
square thing and it ended up picking up 100 bucks.
1:16
So I'll. Think.
1:18
That I did. Yay.
1:19
Awesome. Some guests, I was so happy they
1:22
won. I mean, both teams, their
1:24
defense was, was impressive. I mean.
1:27
Yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah, I mean the page, I mean, it could
1:31
have been a a worse blow out if if they and the Patriots had a
1:35
good had a good defense and they did what they could.
1:37
But it was interesting watching the game and the the announcer
1:40
was like, they're coming from the left, They're coming from
1:42
the left. And you think that they would,
1:43
you think that they would have gone in at halftime and said,
1:46
hey, man, I, I mean, I almost felt like, is anybody in the,
1:50
the locker room going, my God, just, I don't care if there's
1:53
ten of them. Just make sure that the, the QB
1:55
can get out of the pocket, you know, and don't and screw down
1:58
the field. You know what I'm saying?
1:59
Just get them out. Just get them so we can get out
2:01
of the pocket. I mean, they had to have been
2:03
talking about stuff like that on the locker room, I'm sure.
2:06
Plus it's like an extended halftime more so than normal so.
2:10
Yeah, and and so the most sacks ever in a Super Bowl game ever.
2:14
Which is crazy. Crazy.
2:17
Now, tomorrow's the big parade. So if you're going to Seattle,
2:20
they're going to lock all that down.
2:22
Michelle, are you going to head over there or not?
2:24
No I have a hair appointment tomorrow so and to try and
2:28
reschedule that is horrible because it takes like 3 1/2
2:31
hours for my hair so unfortunately I'm not going to
2:34
make it to the parade. So are you.
2:36
So my see my thing is I, I, I do like the Seahawks and I've
2:42
talked about this before on the podcast where Co workers make me
2:46
not root for them. Right.
2:48
Because because it's like, it's nice that you win.
2:51
I love it. I'm a Washingtonian.
2:53
I'm very proud of Washingtonian, but don't be obnoxious about it.
2:56
Great and. Then and then I also really get
2:58
irritated when people start talking dynasty, you know what
3:01
I'm saying? Like, oh, going forward we're
3:03
going to win three. I mean not any given.
3:05
I'm not. No, I would never say that.
3:07
You're you're good, Michelle. I'm just saying, though, that
3:10
around my office, it's like you get some, you get some, like,
3:13
OK, you know, it's like because I got some people at work,
3:17
that's, that's all they talk about.
3:18
Great. Even in the office.
3:20
Even in the office. Their identity, though.
3:21
I know that's their identity sports yes, yes, and so that's
3:26
their identity. So they but but I was it was so
3:28
so AJ my coworker, he went, which was awesome.
3:31
He went to the game Todd Long. So we knew.
3:34
People, My friend from Michelle from Survivor, I think we had
3:37
her in the studio years ago. She went to the game, so there
3:41
was a lot of people at the game. So it was really cool to see
3:43
that and you got to have the pride and I'm super excited and
3:47
let's hope they can keep it together for next year.
3:49
But they already lost their offensive coach.
3:51
He's. Going to.
3:51
I know. So it's going to the Raiders,
3:53
right? Yeah, he's going.
3:54
To the Raiders, I think that always happens.
3:57
You know, people, people always think, oh, we're going to
3:58
repeat, repeat, repeat. No, because, you know, because.
4:01
So many people and right. He's never for agents, coaches,
4:04
yes, yeah. Kenneth Walker, he some team,
4:07
another team could walk in and go, hey, we'll give you 6
4:09
million, you know, and then your team's broke it up again.
4:11
So it's an awesome win. Congratulations, awesome win,
4:15
dance and the jig. But but but but it's like, but
4:18
but can you make it next year? That's going to be the they did
4:20
last time. They did two in a row last time.
4:22
So we'll see. Right, right.
4:24
Hey. So I'm just glad we won.
4:26
It's redemption from the loss to the Patriots, and going forward,
4:30
if we make it to another Super Bowl, great.
4:32
I'm just glad we won this one. Well, the new the new thing is
4:37
the new, the the defense is this time it's called the dark side.
4:40
The dark side. That's the, you know, last time.
4:42
They named themselves. They named themselves so.
4:46
Yeah. So yeah, it was a fun, a fun
4:48
game to watch go Hawks. And and I know I think this year
4:52
I'm kind of excited because I think Dallas is playing in
4:55
Seattle with them. So I already asked Megan if we
4:59
if, you know, if we could go and she says yeah, we can probably
5:02
go to a. Game, I mean, I mean.
5:03
But yeah, last time I went with you and we lost, the Cowboys
5:07
lost, but but it was fun to be in the suite.
5:09
And then your friends came from Dallas, I think.
5:12
Or they are. My niece came from Dallas and
5:14
the Dallas fan and her then husband.
5:16
They're now divorced, by the way, but.
5:18
It was fun to sit. He was a Cowboys, which they are
5:20
from Dallas, so. But she's not a Cowboys fan.
5:23
Or she just came. With I don't think she is now.
5:25
Well, I think she probably was back then, but not now.
5:28
I don't think so now. I gotcha.
5:30
I gotcha. But I am excited because I think
5:32
we'll get a game. I think we're going to get a
5:33
game this year in Seattle, which I, yeah, will try to go to
5:36
because and then then they talk crap at you when you're wearing
5:39
your Cowboys jersey at a Seahawks game.
5:42
But yes, but at least when you went with me, you were isolated
5:45
because you're in the suite and. I'm joking.
5:47
Everybody was super nice. Right where I have heard horror
5:50
stories of the opposing team going and things that are said,
5:56
one of them someone we know, Sherry Bissell.
6:00
Which I took her. Yes, I yes, which I took her to
6:04
the suite as well when the Bills came to Seattle.
6:07
But that was the first time she had been to a game since the
6:11
time she went and they took their son Zach.
6:14
And he was probably, I think she said around, I want to say like
6:18
8 years old. And they were at the concession
6:22
stand with their bills stuff on and these grown ass men were
6:27
saying shit that was just horrible in front of Sherri and
6:31
her little boy. And so she has never wanted to
6:34
go back to a game since then. And I don't blame her.
6:37
I wouldn't either. So it was just nice to take her
6:40
and to have her be in the suite and not have to deal with all
6:43
that crap. But I mean, it also happens to
6:46
Seahawks fans when we go to other places, like Jacksonville
6:49
was like horrible to a bunch of our fans when we played them.
6:53
So the Jaguars. And I never understand again, I
6:56
know we talked about this a lot on the podcast.
6:58
I've never understood that. It's like.
7:00
Me either. You can have you can have some
7:01
fun trash talk, but when it gets personal or gets rude or just
7:05
you know, it's like it's and at the end of the day, it's it's
7:08
just a game. I.
7:09
Mean it really just teams. Yeah, they're just teams, I
7:12
mean, and, and I am, but then again, I mean, I'm not a super
7:17
fan. So, so so it's like I I enjoy
7:21
teams for what they are and I and I have a bad habit of
7:24
reading on the underdog. So it's like, even even if I
7:27
like the team, like, Oh well, maybe the underdog will, you
7:29
know, whip some ass on. This.
7:30
But that's part of being a lifelong, lifelong Mariners fan.
7:33
You are. Oh yeah.
7:34
Well, we the underdog. Yeah, yeah, Good, good for Todd.
7:37
He's going to he's going to the Hawks, but yeah, the Mariners
7:40
for him. I know that's that's.
7:42
Me too. I prefer baseball over football.
7:45
Yes, that is my sport. So, all right, I don't know as
7:48
much about football so. I enjoy all sports.
7:52
I'm definitely not a sport sport, a holic or anything.
7:55
If I were to pick my favorite, we've talked football is my
7:57
favorite if we were to pick one. I mean, I have not made it to a
8:00
hockey game to see the Krakens or yeah, I think that would be
8:04
fun. I would probably love it when
8:06
they broke out into a fight so. The nice the nice thing about
8:09
living in the Tri-City. Seems aggressive.
8:12
The nice thing about Tracy's, we have the Americans.
8:14
So I've been to hockey games, we got the Dust Devils.
8:16
So I mean, the the nice thing is we have some of those teams
8:18
already here. I think I've even to do a Yakima
8:20
Hawks thing years ago. A billion years ago.
8:23
Or something like that. So at least I've been in that
8:25
ice rink before, in Yakima before.
8:27
Have you ever been in that ice rink?
8:28
No, I haven't. Oh.
8:30
I've been, I've been in that ice rink, I think, I think Pokey
8:32
Logan and I went skating there one time, ice skating one time.
8:35
I I much prefer roller skating to ice skating.
8:38
I'm. Not I was going to say I cannot
8:40
ice skate to save. No, I can.
8:42
Nice roller skate. Yeah, I, I, I much rather roller
8:45
skate than I skate. But no, it's, it's, it's a good
8:48
Hawks win. Congratulations.
8:50
Thank you, I wore my 12. I see that I see.
8:53
That jersey for your flashes. But I mean.
8:56
Well, no, it's not. I'm not not excited that they
9:00
won't and I'd have to be drunk for that to happen.
9:05
Oh, there you go. There you go.
9:06
Well, you know, I mean, I'm sure the celebration on Sunday, you
9:10
know, Jake was home for that, right?
9:12
Yeah. Yeah.
9:13
So you guys enjoyed the. Yeah, Yeah.
9:14
The. Game which I like to watch it
9:17
because then I can yell, which I wasn't yelling too much,
9:20
obviously because we were winning.
9:22
There wasn't a lot to yell about for one, I just like watching it
9:26
at home where I can yell and just if I want to cuss and say
9:30
thing where if I'm in like a restaurant or even a bar, I
9:34
would probably be a little more reserved than I am at home.
9:37
And so I, I don't know, I don't like going somewhere and
9:40
watching it where other people that we know we're like, well,
9:43
are you going to go watch it somewhere?
9:44
Are you going to go? Well, First off, it's kind of
9:46
hard to go when you're at a bar or somewhere else trying to
9:49
watch it. And there's this other people
9:51
that are distractions and talking and I I want to be able
9:55
to see the commercials and the game.
9:58
Right, right. Yeah, Well.
10:00
So that's kind of my thing. I don't like to go somewhere.
10:02
It's quite interesting because to me it's like, yeah, I, I've
10:05
done it always. Like you said, you know, I've
10:07
gone to the, I've gone to a bar or pub, I've gone to a friend's
10:11
house to watch the game. I, I've watched it alone this
10:14
year. I watched it alone.
10:15
It was so funny. Was right at the start of the
10:17
game I left and my neighbor's a big Seahawks fan.
10:20
Her name's Stacy and her family's across the street and
10:23
she texted me and says, why are you leaving?
10:25
And I wrote back I said I said I'm going I'm going to yoke's to
10:28
get a piece of cake because I feel like I need a piece of
10:30
cake. So I just had I just had a
10:33
craving for a piece of cake and so and then I came back and then
10:36
she goes, well, we got a big spread.
10:38
You know, you're more than welcome to come on over.
10:39
And it's like, that's that's nice.
10:42
But but I but I had already made myself chili Fritos, sour cream
10:47
and cheese was kind of what my my meal was going to be.
10:49
And then this piece of cake. So the older I get, the more I
10:53
just enjoy watching things by myself.
10:55
What do you mean? The older you get?
10:56
You've always been like that. That is some bullshit.
10:59
I'm going to call that that is. There's a flag on the field,
11:03
there is a flag, there's a flag on the field.
11:07
So yes. So normally, so yes.
11:09
Never wanted to go right. Do anything that you make a
11:14
great point. So so I have done though, like
11:16
you said, other games and blah blah blah and gone places, but
11:19
that's going to get in somebody'd pants.
11:21
It was never because I wanted to, you know.
11:23
So I look back at like an ex-girlfriend or even Megan or
11:25
whatever. Yeah, it's like, yeah, even
11:28
Megan. What's that?
11:30
You did that to even Megan and now you don't go do it.
11:33
Well, she does. She has no desire.
11:35
I mean, it's no, I mean, she doesn't.
11:36
Yeah, she could. Yeah.
11:37
I mean, no, this is early in the relationship.
11:40
You know, it was so funny. Early.
11:42
Early in the relationship. I'm not a big fan of cold.
11:46
Me either. I'm, I'm just, I need the cold.
11:48
And so she said, hey, can you know it was right in the middle
11:51
of winter? He goes, hey, do you want to
11:52
come down to the park? And I'm going to take Kyron down
11:54
there. Kyron at the time was five years
11:56
old. To the park in the winter.
11:58
Park, but it was all ice. Now Megan is a skier.
12:01
She, you know, she's from Oregon.
12:03
She loves, she loves the snow. She loves the snow.
12:05
She just does. And so anyway, I, I, you know, I
12:08
was like, I'm gonna, I gotta, you know, hit.
12:11
I gotta hit this. So I gotta go down there, you
12:13
know? So here I am.
12:16
What? Were you like all bundled up or
12:20
were you hating every minute? Of it, Oh, I hated every minute
12:23
of it, but I didn't know how long.
12:24
You got to be here. You know, you know how many
12:27
times I've gone to things with my wife and hated being there
12:29
because I'm just waiting for the after the aftermath?
12:32
That's everything, not just your wife.
12:35
Like that's like even work stuff.
12:37
You would complain we got to go do this and then we'd get there
12:41
and we would have a good time. So it's not really any
12:44
different. That way I'm glad I did that.
12:46
You do admit that, Yeah. You know, I'm glad I went, but
12:50
trying to get like leading up to this event, listening to you the
12:54
entire time is. Like, Oh my God, it should shock
12:59
you, Michelle. It's so funny.
13:00
I didn't come to your wedding and I'm amazed on how many
13:03
people I run into nowadays. We're like, you can't come to my
13:06
wedding besides you. Besides.
13:09
You we're all pointing this out, right?
13:11
Right now I now the older. Now again, I have tried to make
13:14
it now gonna go Megan, I gonna go to a wedding here in Labor
13:18
Day weekends coming up. You know, I just went to a
13:20
wedding for one of my foster siblings or the part of their
13:23
family. So, so I again I I do it more
13:26
than I ever did back then. So.
13:28
Well, that's good. You're getting out of your
13:29
comfort zone a little well. I think because I'm gonna be
13:33
dead soon, so I gotta get these things.
13:35
I gotta get these things done. You're not gonna be dead soon, I
13:38
feel like. So I feel like a lot of the
13:41
stuff that we had to do when we worked at the radio station.
13:44
So go to the fair of the 4th of July.
13:47
And so I feel like now that I don't have to go do those
13:52
things, I don't want to go. Like I don't want to go to the
13:54
fairgrounds at the 4th of July. I don't want to go to those
13:57
places where I was forced to go for my job, if that makes any
14:01
sense, I'm sure. Other people can really get it
14:04
so often and you know, it's the same thing like let's say
14:07
downtown summer nights where we had to build sage or bull crap.
14:11
I look back at all the bullshit like slave labor, like.
14:15
Slave labor for free. We work for free.
14:19
We're in the normal people wouldn't, wouldn't do any of
14:21
that. And so looking looking back,
14:23
it's like now I'm like, Nope, I'm I have no interest in in
14:27
doing doing any of those things. So well, I know as we wrap up
14:31
the Super Bowl, I know you're going to talk about the, the,
14:35
the soup, the halftime show. I know that's on your agenda.
14:37
Yes, but let's talk about commercials first.
14:39
Oh, you want? To do commercials first, you
14:41
want to be more positive first. What do you mean positive?
14:45
The halftime show was good. OK, let's talk about
14:47
commercials. So what was your favorite
14:49
commercial? So I had a couple.
14:51
So being a Pepsi fan, I really love the polar bears and I like
14:56
the Coldplay, that riff on Coldplay.
15:00
And then I really like the fact that these people are geniuses
15:03
because the Will Shatner the William Shatner Raisin Bran.
15:08
He was caught at a stoplight 2 weeks ago eating a bowl of
15:11
cereal. No.
15:13
Yes, and that's the reason why they made the commercial.
15:16
So that's and I said who's sitting around in these
15:18
marketing rooms and saw him and he was it was on TMZ.
15:21
He was. Well, William, you're not TMZ.
15:25
William Schett. Everywhere.
15:26
Spotted at a stoplight eating cereal and he was, he was
15:29
stopped at a stoplight eating cereal.
15:31
And some genius in marketing goes, you know, And then the
15:35
whole play on words was Will Schat with the fiber.
15:37
Right. Yeah, you know, but all that.
15:39
But it was because he had eaten a bowl of cereal.
15:42
I. Didn't know that.
15:43
I know it makes all sense because I was kind.
15:45
Of you're like, why would they? Yeah, because you're like, why
15:47
would they pick William Schat? And then the guy's like 94 years
15:50
old. Yeah.
15:51
Yeah, so that's still amazing that, you know, so he's a
15:53
national treasure like Betty White.
15:55
Yeah. And then, and then I got to go
15:57
with the Clydesdale with the the bald eagle, the little little
16:00
eagle that that chirps and got. And then the cool thing during
16:03
the game, they panned the camera and there was a real life There
16:06
was a real Clydesdale with a real bald eagle on top.
16:09
Yeah, I. Thought, well, that was cool,
16:11
yeah. What was your favorite?
16:12
Mine would have to be the Lays, the farmer passing down the farm
16:16
to his daughter, but which? I am a sucker for the tearjerker
16:21
commercials, but that commercial featured a song by my favorite
16:27
band, Keen Somewhere, Somewhere only we know.
16:30
I mean, it wasn't performed by them in the commercial.
16:33
It was performed by someone else.
16:35
But they wrote that song. They performed that song.
16:37
I instantly once like the music kicked in.
16:40
I like hit Jay and he's probably like, what the hell is what's
16:44
wrong? And I was like, Oh my God, it's
16:46
it's Keen song and he's just like, OK, like whatever.
16:50
So, so twofold why I like that commercials.
16:53
Tearjerker and excellent song. Great, great choice by Lays,
16:58
their marketing company. Yeah, these people are so, I
17:01
mean, it's nice when you have unlimited budgets, amazing what
17:04
they do. Well, okay, so the ads.
17:07
Okay, here's one commercial I do want to talk about.
17:10
An ad for the Super Bowl is 8 to $10 million, right?
17:14
So, and for the last couple years they've had this, the
17:18
Jesus commercial, like he gets us like, and in my mind, I'm
17:22
thinking, OK, but I have read the Bible.
17:25
I haven't had to, you know, go to catechism classes and all
17:29
that kind of stuff. To me, I don't think Jesus would
17:32
really want you spending 8 to $10 million for a commercial for
17:38
him. I mean, I get that he tells us
17:40
that we need to go and teach the gospel and, you know, that kind
17:44
of stuff. But I don't think he meant like
17:46
spend 8 to $10 million on a commercial when you could be
17:51
using that money to help feed and care for the sick and the
17:55
poor, which is what he was about.
17:58
Like make it make sense to me. I don't understand this at all,
18:03
so am I wrong? No, no, I, I, those have been
18:06
playing for the last couple years.
18:07
But I want to, I want to, I, I agree with that.
18:10
Why would you not just spend 8 to $10 million on homelessness
18:12
or, or feeding people? But like I always say, we've
18:16
got, you know, same in Yakima, same in tri-cities, we've got
18:18
big churches with, with golden statues on top.
18:21
And so is that is that, is that really the mission?
18:26
No. And that's, and that's where I
18:28
sit and I, oh, and well, and, and yeah, we'll get into the
18:32
other stuff about it, but yes, I'm, I'm with you on that.
18:35
Oh, did you like the Dunkin' Donuts 1?
18:37
I mean, it was OK. I thought I was really going to
18:39
like it because you saw the little teaser commercials of
18:44
them, you know, like Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck, and
18:48
then the little teaser about watch the Super Bowl ad.
18:51
I thought it was OK. I was just kind of like.
18:54
Even with the 90s guest stars from everybody in it.
18:56
Yeah, I mean, that was cute, but I was just.
18:58
I was like, OK. And Sabrina Carpenter, of
19:02
course, the the Pringles. Yeah, Pringles person.
19:05
Was kind of cute. Yeah.
19:06
Yeah, that. Was great.
19:07
So yeah, those those. Those OK, all right, there was
19:10
some there's some good one I think I I felt I felt this
19:13
year's commercials were better than previous years.
19:16
Maybe I would just be in paying more attention to them, but I I
19:19
felt like we've had a lull in really good unique.
19:23
Yes. Oh, and of course the Jurassic
19:25
Park 10, that's another good one where they're like.
19:27
That one was good. Yeah, that was.
19:29
Well well, the technology to D age everybody is insane.
19:33
Yes, yeah. So you got everybody kind of.
19:36
Scary too in. A way, but even going back to
19:38
the the Dunkin Donut, they're all D age.
19:40
Yes, yeah. So it is creepy to see what?
19:44
Yeah, it's creepy to see what AI is doing.
19:46
Yes, yeah. And that might be why I don't
19:49
like some some of them just because I don't know, AI is just
19:54
with the deep fake videos. It's so good now sometimes you
19:58
can't tell if it's really that person or not that person.
20:02
And it's a lot of people believe it.
20:05
And I think that's the issue I have with it.
20:08
And there's no restrictions on any of it.
20:10
And I. Don't know, do you think that
20:12
you would have enjoyed the Duncan commercial if they were
20:14
all their their proper age right now?
20:15
Yes, Yeah, probably. Instead of trying to de age
20:18
them, just have them be old actually.
20:19
Yeah, probably. Yeah, probably.
20:22
I probably would have then a little more open to liking it,
20:27
no? But that's just me with AI just
20:29
a little bit. But I did I really enjoyed I
20:31
think this and what I cheat. So here's what I love best
20:35
about. You already watched all the
20:37
commercials. On YouTube, They're on YouTube,
20:39
so I love that they released them early.
20:41
So it's kind of like it's kind of like not having to watch
20:44
Saturday Night Live anymore because I know hey, that if that
20:47
if someone says, oh, Sabrina Carpenter's on there, whoever's
20:50
on there, I can go see it on YouTube.
20:51
I don't have. Or just watch that one skit.
20:53
You don't have to watch the entirety of SNL anymore, right?
20:57
Or any, or any interview show which I, you know, I just want
20:59
to see what I want to see. So I do love the convenience of
21:01
that, but I felt the commercials this year were pretty good.
21:04
Yeah, yeah, I agree. All right, let's talk about the
21:06
halftime show. I this.
21:07
Is what you know Zach, Zach Morris time out.
21:12
I thought it was awesome. My Spanish is like very minimal
21:17
and not great. I am working on it with
21:20
Duolingo, but that's even that's like a train wreck I'm trying.
21:25
But I thought it was wonderful just in the way it represented
21:30
Puerto Rico and every aspect about it and everything,
21:34
everything that Bad Bunny is about.
21:36
And what he was trying to say was conveyed in subtle ways that
21:42
if you didn't know some of the things, like some I noticed
21:45
people were like, well, why was he on power poles?
21:48
You know, they have problems with their power.
21:50
And it's like, no shit. Like that's why he was like,
21:54
like, that's why he was right. That's why that was the message.
21:59
So it's just crazy to me that people didn't understand and a
22:03
lot of that and where it comes from, but I think that's just
22:07
knowledge and being. In the know or beauty I.
22:11
Don't. Realize that 5060% of the
22:13
country doesn't realize that Puerto Rico's part of America.
22:16
Right. That is and has been part of
22:19
America longer than some of our states like Oklahoma OR.
22:23
Alaska to Hawaii or not yes, yes, but, but, but it's that
22:27
insanity. So I, you know, for me it was
22:29
like, so I went back and forth because I really want to check
22:31
out, you know. So the turning point.
22:34
I did. I watched.
22:34
I did not watch that one, So what did you think?
22:38
So well, so here's what the kicker was was pre recorded.
22:42
Oh and didn't Kid Rock like mess up his like?
22:45
Well, like, so they were thinking they were.
22:48
I wouldn't say that all the performers are lip syncing and I
22:50
don't believe no. And sometimes you have to.
22:53
But it was not as you sync. It was not insane.
22:55
And so, yeah. That's what I saw.
22:57
I saw that clip and sometimes in those those things like you have
23:01
to there, there's no way around it.
23:03
Like you have to lip sync some of these things.
23:06
I mean, you and I know that, but a lot of like the general
23:08
audience. Yeah, but doesn't know that or
23:10
understand. That, but that show wasn't even
23:12
recorded at the time of the Super Bowl.
23:13
So let's let's let's say, let's say hypothetically that Bad
23:17
Bunny was lip syncing, right? Right, right.
23:19
But but, but at least it was live while they're doing all
23:23
the, you know, the pornography and everything.
23:26
It was live. This wasn't even it wasn't even
23:30
live and it was prerecorded or pre taped.
23:33
It wasn't. It wasn't live at the time.
23:36
Does that make sense? Right, so they just so they
23:40
prerecorded it and then made sure it aired during the exact
23:43
time that the the Super Bowl have time.
23:46
Okay. Yep, that's it.
23:47
Yeah, I didn't know it wasn't prerecorded.
23:50
That was yeah, that's the reason Kid Rock recently just said
23:53
that's why it wasn't synced up because it wasn't it wasn't
23:56
synced up because and he caught even said even in post
23:59
production he goes, oh, that's gonna that doesn't look good and
24:02
they still aired it anyway. Oh yeah, they could have gone
24:05
back in late. So he was so.
24:07
Yeah, so. But but my big thing about it
24:09
was, yeah. So to me, it's like, if you're
24:12
going to do a Super Bowl, other alternative show, I'd like it to
24:15
be they're live, whatever location they're at, like, hey,
24:19
we're in Philadelphia and we're near the Liberty Bell or
24:22
whatever, and here's our here's our talent.
24:24
I would have respected that more than just something that was
24:26
schlocky, prerecorded great. Now the talent was great.
24:30
Gabby Barrett, Lee Bryce, give Kid Rock is due.
24:33
I mean, I'm not here to, you know, to, to bash on that.
24:36
I, I think that I wanted to so badly.
24:39
I wanted to go so badly on my Facebook page and talk about it,
24:43
but I did not. But here's what I what I look at
24:45
it from a radio programming standpoint, and we've had this
24:48
discussion before when we, when you program a radio station,
24:53
who's the audience and what are the best songs for the audience?
24:55
And that's what you play. And so I remember so many years
24:58
ago, the radio station, I'm not going to mention names because
25:03
they might be listening, but I remember when we, you and I were
25:06
doing, I don't, I don't have to mention the station.
25:10
I'm just saying that we had an account executive walk in who
25:13
was so far out of the demo, so far out of the demo and goes,
25:17
yeah, I don't. And goes, I don't like your
25:18
radio station. And I just, and I looked at him
25:21
and I said I didn't build it for you.
25:23
And I've always remembered that. So it's OK.
25:26
I leave my humble opinion now, this will get my son upset or
25:29
whatever. It's OK to have alternative.
25:31
Hey, you don't want to watch the Super Bowl mid halftime that
25:34
that's America. You're allowed to, you know,
25:37
you're allowed to go to the alternative viewing and watch
25:40
what satisfies you. Now, what you're not allowed to
25:44
do is take away somebody else's enjoyment of what they enjoy.
25:48
And I saw, and I saw a lot of that going on on Facebook where
25:52
they would go. That's the half that halftime
25:55
show sucked. I'm like, wait a minute, you,
25:58
you, you weren't what? You weren't what you didn't.
26:00
And some people even admit they didn't even watch it.
26:02
So they're just going off of just their own.
26:05
Oh, I just don't like Bad Bunny or Spanish music.
26:08
Right, right. Well, yeah, their own.
26:09
Prejudice, basically. Well, yeah, but but and I had A
26:13
and I had a friend on Facebook. Now here's I have I have a
26:16
friend who lives in Yakima. She's really, she is nice and
26:18
she's got a couple kids and she went up and oh, she goes, oh,
26:21
you know, Bad Bunny was awful. Duh, duh, duh.
26:23
Well, people retaliated on her hardcore, you know what I'm
26:26
saying? Now she normally she's a
26:29
Trumper. She is a Trumper.
26:31
So people who knew her knew that she was already a Trumper.
26:34
So then they just, they just dog piled on her about the show.
26:37
And then she really took it offensively.
26:39
Like, that doesn't mean I'm racist because and, and, and I
26:42
will give her credit, she's a country music fan.
26:44
She's a country music fan. So duh, I don't blame you for
26:47
going to watch Lee Bryce, Gabby Barrett and Brantley Gilbert and
26:52
Kid Rock, duh. I mean, she's a country fan.
26:55
I get that, but she did go on her Facebook and she kind of
26:58
asked for it by saying though the the Bad Bunny show sucked.
27:02
Well, because you know, your political, we know your
27:05
political leaning. And so people took, people sadly
27:09
took advantage of that and said, you know, but I was very
27:12
impressed. I got to say, I had a bunch of
27:15
#1 big Dad, you know, remember Carson Cornell big.
27:18
Dad. He's in.
27:19
Florida. He's in Tallahassee forever.
27:22
Him and his cope, him and his, him and his Co partner in
27:26
Tallahassee. Both of them, I was surprised by
27:29
they said to each their own about the Super Bowl.
27:32
You know what I'm saying? I really expected to take the
27:34
Trumper side of things because they're Trumpers.
27:36
But they didn't. They didn't.
27:38
They said to each that, you know, watch the show that
27:41
pleases your musical taste and that really at the end of the
27:44
day. That's what I was going to say.
27:47
Like you're allowed to say this performance was not my personal
27:52
taste. It's but something that happens
27:54
in a free society. Like, you know, you don't have
27:57
to be racist about it. You don't have to bash Bad
28:00
Bunny. You don't have to bash Puerto
28:02
Rico. You could just say like, this
28:05
isn't my taste and you know, that's that, that's all you have
28:10
to say. You don't have to say anything
28:12
else. Well.
28:13
And like, and like Megan said, it's like Pavarotti, would you
28:16
tell Pavarotti, you know, when, when they're singing in French
28:19
or Spanish or German or whatever.
28:21
Nina 99 left balloons that songs in that songs in German.
28:25
Yes, on the radio, you're going to tell Nina when she comes to
28:28
America, you better sing it in, you know, And then and then the,
28:31
the, there's a couple idiocracies that are going on #1
28:35
America does not have official language, so to keep.
28:37
So to keep. Spewing English.
28:39
That's that's incorrect. And then to say that Bad Bunny
28:43
is not an American or that he, you know, you know, Puerto
28:45
Rico's part is part of the country.
28:47
I mean, so there are a lot of ignorance and then and then what
28:51
is the need to literally go on social media and just basically
28:54
start a fight with a bunch of strangers?
28:55
Because it's easy, because it's social media and you can say the
28:59
things that you would not say to anybody's face.
29:02
You can go on there and be as strong in your opinion as you
29:06
want to be and but you wouldn't say that.
29:09
To. Somebody's face.
29:11
I always laugh, though you'd never say to somebody's face.
29:13
No, I, I was more fascinated. I watched, I watched it.
29:16
So I was jumping in and out and I, you're going to laugh.
29:20
I was like, how the hell they get the trees out there?
29:22
So I saw a video later. Where's?
29:25
People, there's people, but I could come in and out.
29:27
I was going in and out and I'm like, where are?
29:29
These trees, and do you know why?
29:30
Do you know why they had to do that?
29:33
With the trees. Yeah, with them being I.
29:36
Don't. Well, you can't move trees.
29:37
I mean real trees into that yeah, that too.
29:40
OK, so Levi's Stadium is real grass and so they only would
29:45
allow X amount of carts, so to speak.
29:48
And so the designer to work around that and in what bad
29:54
buddy envisioned and wanted for the performance, that was his
29:57
way of getting around. You can only have X amount of
30:00
carts come out on the field because it's real grass and
30:03
you're. So they had the people walking
30:04
out as. Trees.
30:05
But I thought that was a genius though.
30:07
I was like, Oh my God, that's great.
30:08
Like because. Because if you were like me
30:10
coming in later, you're like, hey, where'd these trees come
30:13
from? And then my mind was like, not
30:15
just about how they could get these trees off the field,
30:17
right, Right. Or how'd they get them on and?
30:19
Right, because it has to happen in like 7 minutes, like
30:22
everything has to happen. So the only reason it made me
30:24
think about that was I remembered that Allegiance
30:27
Field, Legion Stadium in Vegas, when they're not using the
30:30
field, it's out in like their parking lot, like like the whole
30:33
field is. And it goes.
30:35
They have a system that they have a pulley that brings the
30:38
field in. Yeah.
30:39
And so to me, I was like, is this, and I don't know much
30:41
about Levi Stadium, like is this one of those where they have two
30:43
fields and they can move a field?
30:45
No, it's real grass, so it. Was no, it was.
30:48
So no. I really thoroughly enjoyed it.
30:50
Loved the message. Again, you know, that Bunny is
30:53
like the biggest global, global superstar.
30:57
And again, who's the audience and what are the right songs for
31:00
the audience? And so the NFL is trying to
31:02
reach a global audience. I mean, you're going to go with
31:04
the number one streaming artist. Yeah, 190 billion streams.
31:10
Yeah, I mean. It's all about money.
31:12
The NFL was smart and was like, who is going to generate us the
31:16
most eyeballs and the most money?
31:18
Of course, this was the most watched halftime show ever, so
31:23
they just got their bang for their buck right there.
31:25
Well, but but but again, I always ask, you know, there
31:30
there just comes a point to where you're like, you're not
31:32
the audience. No, and I understand why.
31:34
I mean, it's one of those things where a great example watershed
31:39
is on hiatus for this year. But but even when they even when
31:42
they announce a lineup of watershed, it's amazing how
31:45
people get so upset about who's there and who who's there and
31:48
who's not. And I'm like, well, number one,
31:51
who buys records young people. So why?
31:54
So why would they? And I hey does not mean I don't
31:56
like Clint Black, but why would I book Clint Black?
31:59
Right, it wouldn't go the audience. 90s artist.
32:02
Right. But but now the cool thing is
32:05
there is a 90s country festival going on that I just saw online,
32:08
which has all those great artists and, and so those people
32:11
who love though, you know, you know, it's like, but why do
32:14
people, why do I, I feel like it's a sense of entitlement more
32:17
than anything else, that, that people feel that they're
32:20
entitled to what their opinion or their viewpoint or what
32:23
their. Music like.
32:25
Yeah, I mean, if if I had my way, Super Bowl would have Toto,
32:28
Survivor and Mr. Mr. Yeah, yes, that'll never happen.
32:30
I mean, that's my personal if. I had my way.
32:33
It would be keen. No one wants to hear that music
32:35
at a Super Bowl. I mean, that's it's almost
32:38
they're they kind of sound like Coldplay, right?
32:41
So which I mean, Coldplay was there, but at least, you know,
32:44
no one would want king there. I wouldn't want king there.
32:47
I'd be like no so. You're there satisfying.
32:50
Yeah, you're there satisfying one person now.
32:53
Now, do I think that Jay-Z has slanted some of the
32:57
representation? I look at when Jay-Z came on
32:59
board and it's so it's Rihanna. It's been.
33:03
It's been. Who's not American people?
33:05
No, no, I know. I get it.
33:07
But I do. I do.
33:08
And again, I'm not saying that it's wrong, I'm just saying
33:11
there is a slant to who Jay-Z has booked.
33:14
Now, does Jay-Z, does Jay-Z say I don't feel there's enough
33:18
representation of what truly is the hottest music out there?
33:22
I'm not saying a skin color. I'm saying the representation of
33:25
the hottest music out there. I think I see that, you know,
33:29
so, but when you look at when you go look at the Wikipedia
33:31
page when Jay-Z took over, it's all it.
33:34
Well, it is. It's all black urban artists.
33:37
So some people could say make a case.
33:39
Well, why doesn't he book, you know, Maroon 5 or Aerosmith and
33:44
all that The Who they were all pre Jay-Z.
33:46
So now, now it's been Rihanna the weekend, Bruno.
33:52
I mean, definitely. Well, there's a slant.
33:55
Right. Almost like a press.
33:56
But all those artists are have been super positive since then.
33:59
So they're massive. It's not like, yeah, they're I
34:03
agree, I agree. But I'm only pointing that out
34:06
that if you do look at it like, oh, that's interesting.
34:08
They're all, they're all slanted one way, but they are the
34:11
biggest, they are the biggest stars on the planet.
34:14
And and you know what, No matter what we do, none of it will
34:17
satisfy anybody. No, there's always going to be
34:20
someone again, because we all have different.
34:22
Look at music just in general. There are so many genres and you
34:26
as a person can't like all these.
34:29
Sure, you might have multiple different genres that you like
34:32
at a time, and a lot of us do, but it's like you.
34:36
Not one of us is going to like every single musical genre and
34:40
be happy with it. It's just not how things work.
34:43
It's not how the world. Works it.
34:45
Just doesn't work that way. Right.
34:47
A great example is the Pendleton and the music fest is coming up
34:50
here, which is awesome. And you've got Zach Top, you've
34:53
got Carly Pierce, you've got Shabuzzi, and you got Diamond
34:56
Rio. Now Diamond Rio is one of the
34:57
opening acts and Diamond Rio is going to be great.
34:59
Meet me in the middle. But that's 90s country, which is
35:01
65 or 55 to 65 plus are going to enjoy that.
35:05
All those young kids that are 25 years old who want to see
35:07
Shabuzzi are at the bar, at the beer tents.
35:11
Yeah, it's not, it's not. It's not a slight on Diamond
35:14
Rio. They're fantastic.
35:15
I will tell you, years ago we went to the Pendleton Whiskey
35:19
Music Fest and Clay Walker and then and then it was Cole
35:23
Swindell after Clay Walker, then Toby Keith.
35:25
The sound difference alone between Clay Walker and Cole
35:29
Swindell was insane. In terms of production value.
35:34
Clay Walker, who I love, I, I enjoy it and I'm, and I'm a huge
35:38
Cole Swindell fan. I love Cole Swindell.
35:40
Sounded dated. Oh.
35:43
I think he's. Also, what 60s and doesn't he
35:45
have Ms. So come on he. But he's fan, he doesn't have
35:48
any of he he doesn't show any of that.
35:50
It's just but when you hear but when you hear his songs, you
35:53
know, they the production value was even dated, not just the
35:57
song, not just the songs. I'm saying the sound.
36:01
So when so when So here, you know, it's kind of like this.
36:03
Here's here's Clay Walker and then Cole Swindell takes the
36:06
stage right after him. It it sounds current, it sounds
36:11
loud. I guess the word is loud.
36:13
The loudness just literally changed like overnight.
36:17
I mean, well, like the next act, you know?
36:19
And so to me, I call that production value.
36:21
So. I see.
36:22
So again, it's it, it, it's like it's to each their own and, and
36:26
so but people, people are crazy. I know.
36:28
So for me, Bad Bunny, I don't know who you're going to get.
36:31
Like who's bigger? I think Sabrina Carpenter has
36:34
gotten. You know, Oh, yes.
36:35
I know I've mentioned her a couple times on.
36:37
This I love Sabrina Carpenter. I don't know why, you know, but
36:41
but I think that if she continues the way she is, she's
36:45
going to be spotlighted one of these time, no doubt.
36:47
And then, and then, just like she was on Saturday Night Live,
36:50
she was in her panties and people lost their and I'm like,
36:54
I'm loving it. I'm.
36:55
Like, yeah, and I was going to say, but you loved it, I
36:58
thought. I mean, it was cute.
36:59
I'm a butt guy, so I was all about it.
37:01
You shake it, Sabrina, But I'm just saying.
37:03
If she feels, hey girl, if you feel confident in yourself to do
37:07
that in front of the, you know, entire country, do it.
37:11
You know, it's not like she was naked.
37:13
She was clothed for God's sake, so.
37:15
But but that again, again, it's who you build it for.
37:18
And they're trying to reach a whole different audience and a
37:21
worldwide audience and all that. And, and Gammy and Pappy who are
37:24
like 85 years old, they're going to stroke.
37:26
I get it. I get.
37:27
Them it wasn't just 85 year olds.
37:29
Oh, I know Facebook so. I know.
37:31
Well, they all, I always make the joke.
37:33
They all look the same. Anybody who's bitching and
37:36
moaning about it, well, they all look the same.
37:39
I mean, yeah, they're, they're, yeah, there's, they're, yeah.
37:43
So I, OK, I did not watch the Turning Point, but I did see
37:47
like bits and pieces. Like I said, I saw this Kid
37:50
Rock, like not In Sync, but I did see like kind of the message
37:55
was God and country, that kind of thing.
37:58
And Bad Bunny had the the only thing more powerful than hate is
38:02
love. And so yeah, right.
38:06
And so to me, so, so the turning point, like sure, they had that,
38:11
like they said God, but there wasn't like there wasn't like a
38:16
message of like, OK, what would God and Jesus want you?
38:20
To they're not interested in that.
38:22
No, it was just like. Saying that speak, they only
38:25
speak to to to their people. You know what I'm saying?
38:29
But they're. Not.
38:30
They're not interested in inclusion.
38:31
They're not interested. But at least Bad Bunny's message
38:35
was like, this is what the Bible is.
38:38
This is what you are supposed to be.
38:40
At. Least they had like the message
38:42
of what the Bible is about instead of just saying like God.
38:47
You know there's no. Message to that.
38:49
But you're not going to win that battle.
38:51
No, but I'm just saying that. Like the complete difference.
38:55
In that. But someone had posted that
38:57
Jesus didn't speak English, no? And he wasn't white.
39:00
He. Wasn't white people.
39:02
He's not white, he doesn't speak English.
39:04
He's the biggest, he's the biggest socialist of all time.
39:07
But you have to understand they don't see it that way.
39:11
No. You know.
39:12
But I just thought it was like just only.
39:15
People, only people like them. Right, that only them.
39:19
Yeah, right. They, yeah, it's it's, yeah.
39:22
It's why. It's why I left the church all
39:25
these years, all. Those years ago, yeah.
39:27
You know, it had. I always tell people it had
39:30
nothing to do with God. It's God's fans.
39:32
I've always said that that's what pushed me to leave.
39:35
Like, yeah, it's his fan. Just started seeing everything
39:39
that it's like this is. You are a hypocrite.
39:42
This is crazy. I have no problem with God,
39:45
never have. I have a problem with the fan
39:47
club. I have a fan.
39:48
I I can't be around. I cannot be around those people.
39:51
I can't. I can't and, and it's disgusting
39:55
and I, I just cannot be in a group of people.
39:57
I refuse to be in a group of people where they say one thing
40:00
on Sunday morning and then walk out and act totally different.
40:03
And I, I just, I, you know, I'm not perfect.
40:06
I make a billion mistakes a day, but at least I am honest and
40:11
true with myself. And, and one thing that I, I
40:15
will tell a story. And I was 28 years old and we
40:20
had just moved to Yakima. And, and I was working at one O
40:23
7 and we enrolled Logan at the elementary school, I think on
40:28
Nob Hill. And so I think he was in second
40:30
grade or first grade, one of those things.
40:32
And so we'd gone in and got him registered and the teacher said,
40:35
hey, by the way, this is a bilingual class.
40:39
So I teach the kids Spanish at the same time they're running AB
40:42
CS and English and all that. OK.
40:44
And I was taken back by that and I said, I don't want my kid to
40:47
learn Spanish. No, I'm yes, 28 years old from
40:52
Clarkson in Washington, the whitest town on the planet.
40:54
And, and, and my ignorance at 28 was like, I don't want my kid.
40:59
Why would I want my kid to learn Spanish?
41:00
You know Yakima 6450 to 60% of the town is Hispanic.
41:05
Great, it's agriculture. Who do you think is out in the
41:07
field? It just is but 28 years old and
41:11
and it wasn't against it wasn't a racist situation.
41:14
It was just me going why, why would he need to learn Spanish,
41:17
right? You know, I mean, it was your.
41:19
Ignorance. At that age, it was ignorant
41:20
time. It's ignorant, it's ignorant,
41:22
but at least. You're like, at least you've
41:25
evolved and you can admit that and you you see it and you
41:29
learned from it. It's not like you just stayed in
41:31
that the rest of your life like some of these people.
41:33
We. Did as kids?
41:35
I have spoken a lot about we'd slant our eyes when we were
41:38
kids. Oh yes.
41:40
So, so we don't do that at 55 years of age?
41:44
No, because, because it's not funny.
41:47
No, and my nephew, which granted he's only 5 and he did that at a
41:52
dinner we were at and which my brother was like away from me,
41:56
which he probably wouldn't have liked this if you would have.
41:58
And I was like, OK, well we we don't do that.
42:01
OK, like that. I just calmly and said to him, I
42:04
didn't say why. I didn't have to give him a
42:07
reason. I didn't say it's racist.
42:09
I mean, I probably should have, but again, like my brother
42:13
wouldn't have corrected him, would have been fine with it.
42:16
I wanted to make sure, you know, I just said, OK, we don't do
42:20
that, Don't do that, OK. And he was he, he just kind of
42:24
like nodded his head yes and didn't do it again.
42:27
Not whether he does it again somewhere else, I don't know,
42:30
but. But you would.
42:31
But you evolved, remember, Because being from Clarkson,
42:33
Lewiston, yeah, we had people that were obviously in our high
42:37
school class, gay or lesbian. It never came out.
42:41
Now, no one in my high school came out.
42:42
They came out. They came out later.
42:44
Right after you left. But but I remember using gay as
42:47
a derogatory term when I was a teenager.
42:49
Oh yeah. You know, like, oh, that's so
42:50
gay or whatever. You know, it's the same thing as
42:53
when I first met Megan and I used I said, oh, that's
42:55
retarded. And she's what she goes, what'd
42:57
you say? No, but she said, you know what
42:59
I'm saying? Growth.
43:00
Growth is recognizing the behavior and changing the
43:05
behavior and saying, you know what, I'm ignorant.
43:07
I'm sorry, I won't let and then you are cognitive going forward
43:11
of not doing those things. Right.
43:13
So that's to me growth. Yeah, which yeah, again like
43:17
saying the hard word for us growing up with no batter than I
43:22
yeah. But he but saying, but he was
43:24
saying, Oh, that's gay, right. You know, that was that was the
43:28
time we lived in and but but you don't do it today, correct.
43:33
And that's, and that's kind of how I look at the evolution of
43:36
somebody. If you're not progressing and
43:39
moving forward as a person, I don't.
43:41
Yeah, I don't know. Because people can I.
43:45
People can change. People can change, you know?
43:48
But when? But when you refuse to change,
43:50
or you see only your way, and you'll be damned if you do,
43:54
damned if you don't. My, my, I've talked about a lot.
43:58
My wonderful foster mother would not put up with any of this
44:01
behavior. No, not at all.
44:04
No, no, Matt, no matter what I never saw.
44:08
Yeah, what's that? Beat your ass.
44:11
She would there's no like, you know, should be out to Virgil.
44:14
There's some weeds to get pulled.
44:16
They'll teach you a lesson. Some manual labor will teach you
44:18
a little lesson about that. So yeah, but but yeah, so yeah.
44:23
So for me, Super Bowl show excellent, love the message,
44:27
incredibly creative. I cannot wait to see what they
44:29
do next year if if Turning Point wants to do their big country
44:33
all white American show again. That's that's up to them.
44:36
But but the viewership of course, has already come out and
44:39
there was, you know, 3 million or 2 million whatever for the
44:42
all American and and 130 some for bad bad Bunny.
44:47
It's like it's not, it's not doing that is not going to
44:50
change the NFL from changing their strategy on on what they
44:56
do next year because because. If anything, you just solidify
45:02
for them, right, that they need to stay on this path.
45:06
You would just prove to them what they're doing because NFL.
45:09
The day at the end of the day for a corporation, the only way
45:12
you take down a corporation is nobody buys your product and
45:17
that's it. And I always laugh.
45:18
It's like we, we talk about, let's just say hypothetically,
45:21
the Cowboys. We talk about the Cowboys.
45:23
They haven't won in 30 plus years and yet they are still the
45:26
number one most valued franchise in all of football above anybody
45:32
because the merchandise, the viewing rights, they still
45:35
they're still deemed America's team.
45:37
You know what I'm saying? They when they when they play
45:39
whoever they play the TV viewing rights they get, they draw the
45:43
most audience for even or even being shitty, right.
45:47
And until that changes, why would they?
45:49
Again, they're not going to change course.
45:51
And that goes the same with the NFL.
45:52
They're not going to suddenly wake up and go, you know what we
45:55
got? We got to bring out, you know,
45:56
Diamond Real and Clint Black. Kid Rock.
45:58
Now I will say before we get off the topic, the the person who
46:02
started this and we joked about it before, Michael Jackson, yes,
46:07
Barkley. Barkley agrees.
46:08
Which I think like in Jimmy Kimmel's monologue he showed
46:12
like 1 1/2 time shows from 1980 people.
46:17
White people has made the most appearances at the Super Bowl 5
46:20
appearances, Up with People. Oh, remember, it used to be
46:23
marching bands and Up with people.
46:26
And then Michael Jackson 1993 blew the place away and now it's
46:30
the biggest spectacle on the planet.
46:31
So yeah. And then and and then everybody
46:34
else that followed after that before that.
46:36
So what do you So again, entitled people, what do you
46:38
want? You know you want you want you
46:41
want a marching band or do you want a global superstar?
46:45
They would probably say marching band.
46:47
Of course they would. Yeah, of course of.
46:49
Course you know. That's I want, I want a good
46:50
polka. You know, it's kind of like when
46:52
you watch that movie in Vietnam, which is one of my favorite
46:55
movies of all time, where the program director's like, no, we
46:58
play polkas and da da, da da. And Robin Williams is playing
47:02
The Beach Boys. Right, right.
47:04
Is that which dog is that Barkley?
47:07
He can't hear. He doesn't know.
47:09
See if. I can.
47:09
What's that? He's deaf.
47:11
I know he doesn't know. Oh, buddy.
47:15
I remember Barclays deaf these days.
47:17
Right. He's like, why aren't we going
47:18
out to play? What are you doing?
47:20
Because remember I? I left the doors all open.
47:23
So. So he's just going in and out.
47:26
Well, they are having a good old time.
47:28
Yeah. So, yes.
47:30
So because that instead of being closed, he thinks he wants like
47:33
why are we not going to cut so? Did you see that Pedro Pascal
47:38
was also in the the halftime show in the casita dancing?
47:43
I missed it well because remember I was bouncing in and
47:45
out between the two the 2. So I missed him.
47:47
He was one of the. Guys.
47:47
Well, there you go, Cardi B. And and you did send me a
47:51
picture. Not that.
47:52
Not that I needed that in my phone.
47:55
I said yes. I said I would find a picture
47:59
and send it to you and prove to you because you are questioning
48:03
what I see him Pedro Pascal, and it's not just me like you can
48:07
ask him multiple women, which I think we had one comment in our
48:10
Instagram. Rick, you whatever she said.
48:12
Yeah, that is the picture I sent.
48:15
I tried to find a recent one and a good one like he my.
48:20
Wife's gonna be like, well, why is there a picture of Pedro
48:22
Pascal on your phone? OK.
48:25
You should make that your screensaver.
48:27
I know I should I resend whatever I said.
48:30
Not that I'm a not that I'm a judge of good looking men, but
48:34
you know, he's not unattractive. I'll put it.
48:36
That way he's. Not unattractive.
48:38
I understand why. Why?
48:40
You know why you would would, would like him now.
48:43
So there you go. So that's been cleared up.
48:45
OK. Yes, Yeah.
48:46
I wanted to make sure that we talked about that in this
48:50
podcast, OK. And also because we're already.
48:54
Gosh, I know. Are you going to?
48:55
We're already almost like an hour though.
48:57
I know going back to Pedro Pascal, are you going to go see
49:00
him in The Mandalorian with with Groku?
49:02
Wait, you won't. You won't see.
49:05
Him. I know that's it Will.
49:06
Just be his voice. I know he's never.
49:08
Which I which I watch some Mandalorian on Disney Plus just
49:12
to hear his voice. But you don't.
49:13
I mean sometimes, like in certain episodes, he'll take his
49:17
helmet off, but that's very rare.
49:18
Yeah. So I was curious how how you're
49:21
going to do that when that movie comes.
49:23
I will wait till it comes down on Disney Plus probably and just
49:26
like sit there and just listen to his voice and just picture
49:29
him in my head like like that picture just like shirtless.
49:33
So there you go. OK, since we're almost out of
49:36
time, I did want to show you these.
49:41
Can you see? Oh my gosh.
49:43
Oh. Geez, so our good friend Soul
49:46
made these for us. So there's one for me and one
49:49
for you. Isn't that so nice of her?
49:52
So I will make sure you get yours and if probably if any one
49:56
that listens to our podcast wants a coffee.
49:59
So when? I'm sitting in like.
50:02
Cartoon. Yeah, with our cartoon faces on
50:05
it. We could.
50:07
I'm not sure how much she would charge.
50:08
I couldn't ask her. And then you can buy 1.
50:11
And I know. I thought that was so nice of
50:14
her, so it was her birthday on Saturday so I saw her and she
50:18
gave this to me. So tell her.
50:19
Tell. Her happy birthday.
50:21
Yeah. OK, well, we're almost at an
50:23
hour. There's so much other stuff I
50:24
wanted to talk about, but I know Valentine's Day is coming up.
50:29
We can talk about this probably next week.
50:31
And then we can see how you do for Valentine's Day with Megan.
50:35
And also her birthday's right after Valentine's Day, Right.
50:38
So. So before we but.
50:40
You have an extra $100 because you won this so.
50:42
We like no no I so we got like 5 minutes left real quick.
50:46
I'll get this really quick, okay?
50:48
My wife does not care about Valentine's Day and luckily
50:50
she's not home. Because her birthday is more
50:51
important, right? Right, well, I've got that taken
50:54
care of. Okay, so you're good.
50:55
But but my but my wife doesn't. I mean like you like.
51:00
Wait, wait. Like no, no, she cares about
51:02
Valentine's Day because remember the Valentine's that you sent
51:05
her flowers the day before Valentine's Day because it was
51:08
cheaper to send them the day before than the day of.
51:10
And I told you don't do that. But that she's not.
51:13
Going to like that. But that's years ago.
51:15
So years ago has changed, like I would tell you.
51:19
So I've been trying to find, like I said, hey, what do you
51:20
want to do for Valentine's Day? And it started last week.
51:23
Like she goes, oh, let's go out to dinner.
51:24
So OK, that's good. And then I said a couple days
51:26
ago, hey, what do you want to do for Valentine?
51:28
She goes, oh, maybe we'll just stay in.
51:30
So she's already, she's already not, not staying in a good way.
51:33
Just like, OK, so you're going to be in sweats basically and
51:35
watching Beverly Hills 9-O21-O what she's been doing every
51:39
single night. I'm like, I mean, I don't know
51:41
about you. Do you get dressed up for Jay?
51:43
Do you put on his favorite, his favorite perfume and all that I
51:48
don't want to get too personal about.
51:49
It like the lingerie. It's Valentine's Day like.
51:53
What's that? It's Valentine's Day, so like
51:55
that's like the time that you would do that stuff, like, you
52:00
know, Valentine's Day, birthday, Christmas, like those are.
52:04
Nada nada. Those are required holidays.
52:08
Yeah, I think so. She's she's mad at me right now
52:11
and I'm going to before we cut this podcast, we can talk about
52:13
it next week. She on the air, I on the air.
52:16
I called her a fuddy Duddy and she.
52:17
Yeah, we talked about this in the podcast because she's.
52:20
Still, yes she is because she went, she went and saw 50 Shades
52:24
of Grey and I'm like, well, who who goes to 50 Shades of Grey
52:26
and doesn't want to come home and try all the the positions
52:29
and she and she goes me. So I called her a fuddy Duddy on
52:32
the air. So she has not forgiven me for
52:34
that. Oh, no.
52:35
Well, you'll have to, I don't know, try to make it up to her.
52:38
Redeem yourself. This is.
52:39
Maybe, maybe this is retaliation to where she's like, yeah, I'm
52:42
gonna be in face cream. I'm gonna be in face cream and
52:45
sweat. Like a little mask.
52:47
You can always buy her like one of those little 50 Shades of
52:49
Grey like kits or whatever. I'm sure that we're really
52:53
happy. No, don't do that.
52:56
She probably be pissed off and be sarcastic.
52:58
Do not do that. Probably don't.
53:01
Do that I am being sarcastic. Don't buy her that.
53:04
We will, we will. I know times are running out,
53:06
