You know what, I think, 10 00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:37,159 I'm going to do this entire hour and Espanol in 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,119 honor of the Malevolent Rabbit and his performance at El 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,159 Supero Bolo. Yeah, I think that. No, I can't. I 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,840 did Yo Tango Singo Anyo's de Espanol. I did have 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,759 five years of the Spanish training, but it was never 15 00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:59,039 really immersed in it. If I like, you give it 16 00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:01,880 to me in a written format, I can like, it'll 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,560 take me a while, but I can translate it. But 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,400 like the conversational Spanish, I was not very good at 19 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:11,879 I was always like my brain never heard the words 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,239 and then automatically knew what was being said. I was 21 00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:18,760 always like translating it back and forth in my head, 22 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,280 And I don't think that's the way you're supposed to 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,280 to learn a language. You're just supposed to learn the 24 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,519 language and then it just becomes second nature. And I 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,040 could never do that, but I could read it, and 26 00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,120 then I could translate if I had, you know, a 27 00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:37,200 Spanish to English dictionary or AI nowadays. But all right, 28 00:01:37,239 --> 00:01:41,920 So I had a bit of a unique experience watching 29 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:50,439 the Big Game yesterday. I was at a friend's house 30 00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:58,120 watching the game, and he and his wife, they are 31 00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:04,640 Puerto Rican, and there extended his extended family, like his mom, 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,919 his brother, his brother's girlfriend. They all came down from 33 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:13,759 the Northeast to visit, so they were all there too. 34 00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:18,919 So there's a whole bunch of and they're all Patriots fans. Okay, 35 00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:24,599 so they're all Puerto Rican, they're all Patriots fans. There 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,520 was another friend who was there also from the Northeast, 37 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,719 a Patriots fan as well. So I did a lot 38 00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:34,599 of therapy for the Patriots fans after, you know, during 39 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,479 the game. Yeah, and look, I know for you Patriot fans, 40 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:43,680 I know it stinks to lose like that. They were 41 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,919 completely underwhelming, But honestly, like as a Panther fan, we 42 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,400 have been to the super Bowl twice in thirty years. 43 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,199 You guys have been there like a hundred times. Okay, 44 00:02:56,599 --> 00:02:59,960 So like let's just kind of keep this in perspect 45 00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:05,520 you have, like you have patriot privilege if you will. Okay, 46 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,080 you have been so many times, you have won so 47 00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:10,719 many times, and you have not won all of them, 48 00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:15,159 to be sure, but you've been so many times. And remember, 49 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:21,639 every single year, every team in the NFL except for 50 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:27,039 one will lose. Every other team, all the fans of 51 00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:32,840 all those other teams, they all lost like you did yesterday. Okay, 52 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,599 So like let's just put it in perspective. And I 53 00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:38,560 know like you wanted to see a better performance. I 54 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:41,280 mean I did too. It was really boring the first half. 55 00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:43,560 But I mean there's a reason why they say offense 56 00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:46,960 wins games and defenses win championships. There's a reason why 57 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,240 that axiom exists. And also I would point out you 58 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960 know that if you like as a I know people 59 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,280 hate on Chris Collinsworth, but he was correct. Like, if 60 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:01,479 you can't stop a four man defensive front from getting 61 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,039 to your quarterback, like every play, you're not gonna have 62 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,280 anybody open and you're gonna take a lot of sacks 63 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,479 and that's exactly what we saw. But it's a young team, right. 64 00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:14,360 You got the two blind side offensive linemen, they were 65 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,519 both rookies, and so they're gonna get better. That quarterback 66 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,079 is gonna get better. And I'm sure the Patriots will 67 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,360 be going to like a bajillion more super Bowls in 68 00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:26,439 the future. Okay, So like just put it in perspective. 69 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,800 So that was so I had to do some bit 70 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,199 of the therapy, you know, for them like that. But 71 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,160 it was a very interesting dynamic because like the family 72 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,279 from Puerto Rico, they knew who Bad Bunny was. They 73 00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,160 know who he is, they listen to his music, they 74 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,439 like him. I was not aware of who this individual 75 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,839 was prior to the announcement that he was going to 76 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:50,639 be playing the Super Bowl, and even then I was like, 77 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,120 I don't know who this is. Oh and one of 78 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,720 the so the the brother from out of town. He's 79 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:03,839 also a huge Trumper. He loves Donald Trump. And so 80 00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:08,759 it was a very interesting dynamic. Watching the game and 81 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,800 watching the halftime show as I did, is very unique. 82 00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:17,120 It was a very unique experience. Here's what I took 83 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,560 away from it. This is what I told Christy after 84 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,839 the halftime performance, I recognize that I was not the 85 00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:28,160 target demo. I'm not the target audience for that show. 86 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,160 And chances are if you are a football fan, particularly 87 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:39,519 a dude, you were not the target audience either. Okay, 88 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,240 because they already got you. The NFL's already got you, right, 89 00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:47,079 If you're watching NFL games, then you're already part of 90 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,000 their audience. You're going to watch the games no matter 91 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,720 who the halftime show is. You're going to watch the 92 00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:57,480 super Bowl. What they're trying to do is get people 93 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,199 who don't watch football are tuning in to see the 94 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,680 Bad Bunny Show. They want them to try to start 95 00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:11,120 watching football. So I recognize, like, I was not the 96 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,560 target demo for that show, And to be fair, like 97 00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:18,000 I don't really feel like I've been the target demo 98 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:24,240 for many years. Their halftime shows are not meant to 99 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,040 attract me to watch football because I already watch well, 100 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,600 I only watch the Panthers games, Like, I don't spend 101 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,360 my whole Sunday watching all of the games. If I 102 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:36,240 got nothing going on, I'll put it on in the 103 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,000 background whatever, especially towards the end of the season. Then 104 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,680 I start watching the late season games. I'll watch some 105 00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:45,000 of those. I used to watch a lot more football 106 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,279 than I do now. Now it's basically like for the 107 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,759 first three quarters of the season, I just watched the 108 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,360 Panther game or try to. But that's about it. What 109 00:06:55,519 --> 00:07:01,279 has been interesting is the way that and look, I 110 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:04,839 think Jim Garretty, I think it was I saw he 111 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,600 called uh yeah, he called bad Bunny became a litmus 112 00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:15,000 test before he even performed a single syllable. Bad Bunny 113 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,000 became a litmus test on the Trump administration's immigration enforcement. 114 00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,720 He stepped onto the field as a human rorshack test, right, 115 00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:29,600 So everybody already had sort of an idea of how 116 00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:34,639 he was going to transgress Trump voters because of his 117 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,759 statements that he has been making, right, because this is 118 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,800 what he has made part of his public persona. He 119 00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:49,759 attacked Ice during the Grammys, so like people were like 120 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:55,839 waiting for this, you know, overt resistance type of performance, 121 00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:59,439 which it really wasn't, although it was kind of odd 122 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,319 that I felt like he was kind of celebrating the colonizers, 123 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,120 which was weird, right, because the Spaniards they colonized like 124 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,079 the whole like southern or a South America and Central 125 00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,839 America and the Caribbean. Right, they colonized all over the place. 126 00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:21,600 But that was what they seemed to be celebrating. People 127 00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:25,040 were upset that he did the entire performance virtually except 128 00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:29,319 for like one line in Spanish. And I thought Jim 129 00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:33,120 Garrity had a national review, he had a I thought 130 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,120 he had a good point here he says some object 131 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,120 because the he raps in Spanish, and thus they cannot 132 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,480 understand what he is saying. And that is a big 133 00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:44,600 part of this is because you don't know what he's saying. 134 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,559 And they provided no subtitles so we could know what 135 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,720 he's saying. So we have no idea if he is 136 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:55,000 engaged in political rapping or what, or he's you know, 137 00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:57,360 he could be calling us all sorts of names. Right, 138 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,000 That's part of the problem when you bring on somebody 139 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:05,200 to perform in a language that you know eighty five 140 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:11,200 percent of the audience does not speak. So and I did, 141 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,559 I did go and I found the stats. It's a 142 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,720 forty five million people in America speak Spanish at home, 143 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,240 which is about fourteen percent of the US population. And 144 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,639 so that's who they were catering to. That's the target 145 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,919 audience they're trying to get those people that speak Spanish 146 00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:33,120 and that know who bad Bunny is, who is like 147 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,600 and I didn't realize like the's guy, like all of 148 00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:38,679 these YouTube downloads and all this stuff. Some people went 149 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,919 over and they watched the alternative programming over on the 150 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,559 Attorney Point, USA. They did a halftime show too, which 151 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,279 is also not new that that has been done before. 152 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,360 Counter programming during the halftime show. That has occurred many 153 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,279 times over the years. So I don't object to that either. 154 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,960 If people wanted to go over there. Here's a great idea. 155 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,399 How about making escape to a really special and secluded 156 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,279 getaway in western North Carolina.

All Right, So 177 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:19,480 Jim Garretty writing about this, you know, this complaint that 178 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,919 people didn't understand what the halftime show singer was singing 179 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,600 because he was singing in a language that you know, 180 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:29,919 more than eighty percent of Americans do not speak. Okay, 181 00:11:30,919 --> 00:11:34,039 and I point out that you were not the target 182 00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:38,360 demographic for this show. Okay, I'm going to get into that. 183 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,679 But he goes on to say and I think this 184 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,960 is a very astute point is as you can say, 185 00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:47,240 you can say the same about plenty of hip hop 186 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,840 performers who are rapping in English, or depending on the 187 00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:53,840 song and performance, you could say the same of Bob 188 00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:58,039 Dylan or Tom Petty or Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. 189 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,799 With Willy Bully, there are those of us who will 190 00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:05,080 go to our graves insisting the chorus on Creden's clear 191 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,159 Water Revivals, Bad Moon Rising is informing the listener that 192 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,600 there is a bathroom on the right. So if you 193 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,120 don't understand what bad Bunny is saying, you're just following 194 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,480 in the footsteps of a proud American musical tradition. There 195 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:24,799 is some truth to that, right. The concern, though, is 196 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,799 that he's saying stuff that you would disagree with. I 197 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,320 have seen some of the lyrics translated, and the lyrics 198 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,799 to some of these songs are gross, and I'm not 199 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,879 a fan of taking the halftime show and having women 200 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,399 towerk their butts into the camera. I don't think that's 201 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:57,080 an appropriate, family friendly type of entertainment. But they've been 202 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,080 doing that for a long time too. Thing to know 203 00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,639 is that this guy has a massive fan base. These 204 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,519 fans may or may not be NFL fans, but they 205 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,600 likely tuned in because they wanted to watch his performance, 206 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,440 and so that would boost the Super Bowls already massive 207 00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:19,519 ratings even higher. The NFL has maxed out its audience 208 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,320 among people who actually, you know, enjoy watching football. One 209 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,480 survey last year, he says, estimated that approximately seventy percent 210 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:35,039 of American men follow the NFL to one degree or another. Okay, 211 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,639 so they've already they've already captured that demo seventy percent 212 00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:42,480 of American men. So how do you get the other 213 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,120 thirty And how do you get a larger female base? 214 00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:49,039 How do you get an international base? NFL Commissioner Roger 215 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:54,080 Goodell is determined to make his league important, relevant, and 216 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,600 worth following among the portion of the population that does 217 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,440 not like football. There was a report from the ad 218 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:10,679 company Apex Marketing about Taylor Swift between her first appearance 219 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,639 at a Chiefs game in late twenty twenty three and 220 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,519 then through the AFC Championship contest in January of twenty four. Okay, 221 00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,360 so like, over the course of about four months, she 222 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:25,879 generated somewhere north of three hundred and sixty six million 223 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,679 dollars for the NFL across all equivalent brand value. That 224 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,279 figure is measured across social media, TV, radio, digital news, 225 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,240 and print news. That's what you call earned media. In 226 00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:44,399 the league's most recent season, her appearances drew and estimated 227 00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:49,879 six hundred thirty four million dollars from equivalent brand value 228 00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:54,399 through the AFC Championship game. Much of that came through 229 00:14:54,440 --> 00:15:00,279 social media and digital news, right. Because the Swifties, people 230 00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:03,600 who love Taylor Swift right, they are now watching the 231 00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:06,960 game in order to see her in the in the suite, 232 00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:09,480 to see the cutaway shots. That's why I know, Like, 233 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,879 like football fans were just rolling their eyes. They were 234 00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:15,960 so sick, like, oh my gosh, they keep cutting away 235 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,039 to Taylor Swift right. But the Swifties love it, and 236 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,519 the NFL loved it because it gets people who don't 237 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:25,639 want to watch football. It gets them to watch in 238 00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:30,840 order to see something that they want to see. Then, 239 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:37,480 whether you like it or not, the NFL is trying 240 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,159 to sell its product overseas, right, They're going to try 241 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,200 to sell the game to people who are not that 242 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,720 into football. Next year, the NFL is going to play 243 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:56,759 nine regular season games overseas. Melbourne Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Munich, Madrid, 244 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:03,639 Mexico City, and three games in London. Roger Goodell, seemingly 245 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,200 with the consent of the owners of all the teams, 246 00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:09,879 is determined to turn the NFL into a global game. 247 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240 And that does not just mean geographically. He means across 248 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:18,679 all demographics and corners of society. I think Jim Garretty 249 00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:21,919 is exactly right on this. You can see the vision 250 00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:26,039 that Goodell is pursuing. And so if you're going to 251 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:32,240 try to attract new people to the sport, then you 252 00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:36,480 go for this guy who has this massive fan base 253 00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:41,960 and following. Guy's got billions of downloads for his songs 254 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,840 all online. So there's obviously a massive demand for what 255 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,759 he is doing. And so the NFL sees that and 256 00:16:50,799 --> 00:16:53,360 they're like, let's put this guy in the halftime show 257 00:16:53,559 --> 00:16:56,960 because you're not the target demo. I'm not the target demo. 258 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,559 They've already got us watching. All right. I hope you 259 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,320 had a happy holiday season, But tell me if something 260 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:06,039 like this happened at your house, your family and friends 261 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,359 are gathered around, maybe y'all are in the living room, 262 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,039 you're laughing, swapping stories, reminiscing, and then somebody says, hey, Dad, 263 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,720 remember those old VHS tapes? Did you ever get them transferred? 264 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,759 And then the room gets all quiet. All eyes are 265 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,559 on Dad, who says, oh, you know, well, I've been 266 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,480 meaning to but I just having gotten around to it. Look, 267 00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:28,759 don't let those priceless memories sit in a box for 268 00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:31,599 another year. All right.

Speaking of 279 00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:10,119 Kid Rock, he was part of the turning Point USA 280 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,799 counter programming that occurred during the halftime of the Super Bowl. 281 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:17,720 They did their own streaming event called the All American 282 00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:24,200 Halftime Show with quote no Woke Garbage. It featured Kid 283 00:18:24,279 --> 00:18:27,720 Rock along with country singers Bramley, Gilbert and Lee Brice. 284 00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:29,960 This is the story from the New York Times. They 285 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:38,200 had let me see here one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, 286 00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:44,240 fourteen fifteen reporters that were doing the coverage of the 287 00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:48,359 Super Bowl at the New York Times. Okay, so fifteen 288 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,839 contributors to this New York Times piece. Kid Rock headlined 289 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,880 the show, and he had said in a statement that 290 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,559 the performers planned to play great songs for folks who 291 00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:06,799 love America. There were sets by Brandley, Gilbert, Gabby Barrett, 292 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,240 Lee Brice. Right around the moment that the Bad Bunny 293 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:16,880 performance ended, Kid Rock took the stage with an abbreviated 294 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,599 rendition of his nineteen ninety hit ball with the dab 295 00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:25,240 dab dab Dicky Diggy all of that Yeah. For a 296 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,759 second song, he was reintroduced as Robert Ritchie, which is 297 00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:36,079 his real name, and he performed Cody Johnson's song Till 298 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:42,000 You Can't. Kid Rock then changed one of the original 299 00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:46,240 verses and concluded, you can give your life to Jesus 300 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,400 and He'll give you a second chance. He first performed 301 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,880 that verse last year and indicated that it had been 302 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,920 inspired by Charlie Kirk, which people are seeing this perform 303 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:06,480 Men's as an affirmation of Kid Rock's faith. He starts 304 00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:11,039 the show with his hit song and Look. His original 305 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,759 songs were very vulgar, much like Bad Bunnies were, but 306 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:17,119 nobody knew because he spoke in Spanish. He wrapped it 307 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,640 all in Spanish, so he was saying very vulgar things 308 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,200 while grabbing his crotch, and the chicks were twerking up 309 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,680 onto the camera lenses, but he was he was saying 310 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,200 it all in Spanish, and so people couldn't tell. This is, 311 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,359 by the way, this is a big deal in uh 312 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,160 Spanish speaking radio as well that the FCC like we 313 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,920 say something in English and it's going to get caught 314 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,720 and we're going to get fined. But the Spanish stations 315 00:20:43,519 --> 00:20:49,599 they have they have less enforcement against them. So this 316 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,079 is and this has been going on for a while anyway. 317 00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:56,200 So same same dynamic at play here, but the Kid 318 00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:58,799 Rock performance where he comes out as Kid Rock, he 319 00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:02,519 does that song, then he's reintroduced by his given name, 320 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,839 Robert Ritchie. He does this song and says you can 321 00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:08,000 give your life to Jesus. He'll give you a second chance, 322 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,799 sort of like his his finding Jesus, his own personal 323 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,559 journey to God. So that's how that's being interpreted. I 324 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,000 did not watch the Turning Point. I did not have 325 00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:25,160 control over the TV. I was at somebody else's house 326 00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:28,680 and they all wanted to watch the Bad Bunny halftime show, 327 00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:33,079 which I've seen described all over the place as joyful. 328 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:37,200 It's about the vibes. It's about the joyful vibes. We're 329 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,519 back to the vibes thing. I thought we had. I 330 00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:42,319 thought we had dispensed with all of that with the 331 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,240 flame out of the Kamala Harris campaign, but apparently not. 332 00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:50,920 We're still We're still dealing with the vibes. A joyful 333 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,559 celebration of Latin heritage, which is a lot of it 334 00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:58,519 is Spanish. So again like for this, like, there was 335 00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:02,720 another piece over at Time magazine Time dot com. I 336 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,880 don't even know if they publish a magazine anymore, but 337 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,960 they had their guy Andrew Chow or Chow correspondent. His 338 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,960 headline was exuberant act of resistance. See. So, for some reason, 339 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:22,039 people on the left have deciphered all sorts of political 340 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,279 messaging that came out of that halftime show, which is 341 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:32,440 what people on the right feared it would be. Right, 342 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,519 and so, you know, how dare you, you know, prejudge 343 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,920 the show before it airs. You know, you don't even 344 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,440 know what he's going to do and all of this, 345 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,759 and so you're a bigot, you're a racist or something, 346 00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:48,200 right because you you know, have heard about this guy, 347 00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:53,720 his comments about Trump, his comments about ice, right, and 348 00:22:53,759 --> 00:22:57,480 then like he goes and performs and they're like, oh, 349 00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:00,279 but look now, what a unifying, joyful message. He said 350 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,759 God Bless America, and he did. It was the only 351 00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:06,200 English he spoke during the entire performance. He said God 352 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,160 Bless America. However, he then started listing all of these 353 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:18,079 different countries, which I think he's counting as America, which 354 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,240 is part of a larger project. I'm not sure people 355 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,759 on the right are aware of this. Right, when you 356 00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:28,319 say God Bless America and then you make it clear 357 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,839 that you are referring to all of these Central and 358 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:37,079 South American countries, that that is a political message, and 359 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:43,000 it's a message that the left understood, but they're telling you, no, no, no, 360 00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:45,519 he only meant the United States of America. Right, But 361 00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:47,240 then why did he list all of the other countries. 362 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,440 He said, God bless America and then listed all of 363 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,799 these countries. It's because to the left, that's how they're 364 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,920 viewing all of the Americas. Although he did list Canada too, 365 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,599 which was especially nowadays. I don't think the Canadians are 366 00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:11,839 very happy being conflated with America, you know, so a 367 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:15,880 joyful celebration. This is from again, This is from the 368 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,440 New York Times, all the fifteen reporters. The lead up 369 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,680 to his performance was weighted down by speculation, culture war controversies, 370 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,920 and the overall solemnity of this tense moment in American politics, 371 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,640 but the performance itself was a kaleidoscope blast of merriment, 372 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,039 a showcase of some of the most ecstatic and celebratory 373 00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:37,960 aspects of Latin culture. Bad Bunny delivered a message in English, 374 00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:41,240 God Bless America, but went on to name countries across 375 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,440 the Americas, leading a parade of flags, and before he 376 00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:50,359 ended with the spiked football, the football have having the 377 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,599 words together we are America. So he lists all of 378 00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:58,559 these other countries, shows the football together we are America, 379 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,319 and then he says in in Spanish, we are still here, 380 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:08,200 and then he spikes the football right, So he injected 381 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,480 politics into his performance precisely as people on the right 382 00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:16,240 had predicted. Because it's who he is, that's his shtick, 383 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,960 it's part of his it's part of his act, it's 384 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,400 part of who he is. All right.

Why well, because it's how you 389 00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:34,240 detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed 390 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,000 with ground News.

From Twitter, mcdellinger says Kid Rock's 406 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,799 performance on the Turning Point USA show was testiment. Was 407 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,920 his testimony that he had Jesus in his life. Now, yeah, 408 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:46,240 I think that's accurate. The most cringe response came from 409 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,759 John Kasik, whose father was a mailman. If I recall correctly, 410 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,960 this is the guy I remember he ran for president. 411 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,680 He refused to get out when Trump was knocking off 412 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,359 all of the other Republicans, and Casks stayed untill the 413 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:07,480 very end. He said on Twitter. Love the halftime show, 414 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,920 which celebrates the wonderful Latino culture, great pick and great show. 415 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:20,119 Bad Bunny hit a grand Slam home run, which it's like, 416 00:27:20,279 --> 00:27:22,200 I'm not sure, like I could say this. I'm a 417 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,880 white guy, Like that's the whitest guy white guy ever. 418 00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:30,920 Like he's doing the meme of Steve Buscemi sidling up 419 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:36,240 to the high schoolers like he's an undercover narc. Hello, fellow, students. 420 00:27:38,519 --> 00:27:42,240 Aj Ziegler, a writer, said he was He's amused by 421 00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:45,319 elderly white guys who actually did not enjoy the halftime 422 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,839 show but feel they must fake it because they disliked 423 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,680 Trump very much. And of course everything must be political. 424 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,079 So sometimes you fake liking music you actually find bizarre 425 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:59,839 or even terrible. Yeah. Andrew Colvett from Turning Point said 426 00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:02,319 that the All American halftime show pulled in over twenty 427 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,519 five million views on YouTube alone. Oh sorry, YouTube and 428 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,119 rumble with a lot of large groups watching together, so 429 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,079 the numbers of viewers is likely much higher, and the 430 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,400 numbers are still climbing. They got broadcast partners, fast channel partners, 431 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,680 Final counts in coming, he said. Based on the success, 432 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,559 they've already committed to doing it again next year. It'll 433 00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:29,160 be back in twenty twenty seven. Nellus, welcome to the program. Hello, Nellis, 434 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,599 Hey Pete, how are you? Hey, I'm good? What's going on? Hey? Good? 435 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,799 Speaker 2: Just quick comments. So last night, after the TPUSA halftime show, 436 00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:40,839 I posted or shared that video of Kid Rock singing 437 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,160 the Cody Johnson song, and this morning when I woke up, 438 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,519 it had magically disappeared. So I think they're trying to 439 00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,920 hide how well the concert went and how much people 440 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,400 loved it and that testimony. 441 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,839 Speaker 1: Where did you post it on Facebook? On Facebook page? 442 00:28:56,599 --> 00:28:58,559 And they took it down? Oh, is it like a 443 00:28:58,599 --> 00:29:00,359 copyright violation or something? 444 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,799 Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was from the Turning Point website. 445 00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:05,680 I just shared their post. I didn't take it off 446 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,599 the TV or anything. 447 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: No, it doesn't matter though. 448 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,119 Speaker 2: It was a Facebook post and they just suddenly said 449 00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:11,559 the content is no longer available. 450 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't know about that. They yeah, because 451 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,279 like you run a foul of copyright uh law if 452 00:29:20,319 --> 00:29:23,319 you're sharing stuff like that sometimes. Yeah, I mean, if 453 00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:27,359 it's a musical performance, they guard that stuff. So I 454 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,480 mean that that that was. 455 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: I shared it from Facebook to Facebook. So it's something 456 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,680 that they had on there originally. 457 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: Right, right, But if they're if you were sharing it 458 00:29:36,279 --> 00:29:39,519 from their source, their source may have locked it down 459 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,480 and that therefore your video isn't isn't available now because 460 00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:46,000 the post was still there, just said the content's not available. 461 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 462 00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that's what happened, and it's probably 463 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,200 due to copyright. Trust me, man, Like the music industry 464 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,920 with this stuff, it's like there's a reason why we 465 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,559 say the Big Game, you know, because we can't. We 466 00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:01,039 can't say the s B words if it in relationship 467 00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:06,640 to like any kind of like promotional event or anything 468 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,519 like that. Like I can say the Patriots lost the 469 00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:12,160 Super Bowl, I can say that, but I cannot use 470 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,720 the words when it comes to like any kind of 471 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,799 promotional event. So anyway, so like they do guard that stuff. 472 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,920 I think that might be what happened if the if 473 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,359 the post is still there but the content isn't, it 474 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,839 sounds like they locked it on their end so to 475 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,880 protect the copyright infringement. Good, thank you, Yeah, man, all right, 476 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,440 appreciate the call. Now, if they had deleted the whole post, 477 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,160 like if your post was just gone, that would indicate 478 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:43,720 that Facebook deleted your post. Let's see here, what else? Oh, 479 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:50,640 Ali Beth Stucky, she's a conservative pundit, she said, doing 480 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,839 an entire show at an iconic American event in a 481 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,599 language most of the country does not understand feels like 482 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,799 a humiliation ritual. I saw this, this sentiment expressed by 483 00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:08,279 a lot of folks too, right, Like this is like 484 00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:15,559 they view it as the equivalent of the the Muslim 485 00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:18,079 prayers in the middle of the streets. Right where they 486 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,440 take over a street, right, it's a show of force, 487 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,680 it's a humiliation, right, that kind of a thing. But 488 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:31,240 then again, Puerto Rico is part of America. I don't 489 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,119 know where do they stand on the uh on the 490 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,319 independence thing. Didn't they have a chance to, Like I 491 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,240 kind of feel like it's something that pops up every 492 00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:41,759 couple of years where there's like, yeah, we need to 493 00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:44,519 be independent, be our own country or something. I did 494 00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:48,440 find it kind of funny though, the part of the 495 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,079 performance where they had all of the power polls that 496 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,960 were like blowing up basically, which like like this is 497 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,559 a problem. Do you know? They had a blackout in 498 00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:02,759 Porto ric Go like Christmas Day or Christmas Eve or something, 499 00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:07,960 and the US government has apparently like given them somewhere 500 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,880 in the neighborhood of like one hundred billion dollars to 501 00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:14,559 fix their power system their power grid, and for some 502 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,200 reason they just can't figure it out or something. I 503 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,319 don't know. I'm not really clear as to what's going 504 00:32:19,359 --> 00:32:21,839 on with the power system there. But I mean, obviously 505 00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:25,839 was a Hurricane Maria that that plowed through the island 506 00:32:26,119 --> 00:32:28,599 several years ago, is probably about five years ago now, 507 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,200 left everybody in darkness and all that. So, yeah, I 508 00:32:33,559 --> 00:32:36,960 don't understand, but I mean it's obviously a problem. I 509 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,559 don't know if I would highlight it in the Super 510 00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:43,279 Bowl show, but uh yeah, but I'm not. I don't 511 00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:48,400 know this from Johnny who says, Pete, why doesn't good 512 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,759 old Roger Goodell for nothing change the field to meters too? 513 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,480 Oh that would be interesting. So if he's going to 514 00:32:57,559 --> 00:33:01,359 play more games, if the idea is to make it international, 515 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,640 but all the international measurements are in meters, right, that 516 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,519 we're gonna go to the metric system for the football field. 517 00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:14,359 It's like, all right, okay, unpopular opinion, Okay, the meter 518 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,440 system is better. The metric system is better. It is. 519 00:33:17,839 --> 00:33:21,279 I mean, it's just from a math perspective, it just 520 00:33:21,359 --> 00:33:25,960 makes more sense. Now that being said, I am not 521 00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:31,119 a proponent of going to Celsius, Like that's stupid, Like 522 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,599 one degree Celsius changed. That feels like a big difference. 523 00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:38,440 You know, Like you look at like the weather forecast 524 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,519 and it's like today is twenty five, and so is 525 00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:43,440 every day for the next month. That doesn't tell you 526 00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:46,759 anything because it could be like it could be pretty chilly, 527 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,160 it could be pretty warm. All within that twenty five 528 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,839 degrees or whatever, like one degree celsius change feels like 529 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,720 a lot more. That's why the fahrenheit that we use 530 00:33:55,839 --> 00:33:58,200 is much better. But I do kind of feel like 531 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,839 the metrics system is better just as a system. I'm 532 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:07,319 not saying we convert, we're Americans, but I do feel 533 00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:08,960 like it's a superior system. And by the way, my 534 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,679 favorite ed, of course was the Mayo ed obviously, and 535 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,920 Neil Diamond Mayo and Neil Diamond one, I mean somebody 536 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,000 that played him, but a Neil Diamond song in a 537 00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:23,519 Mayo commercial for Hellman's Like, that's obviously the best in 538 00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:27,400 my opinion. All right, that'll do it for this episode. 539 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,480 Thank you so much for listening.
