1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Hey, that folks, It's big game weekend, Seahawks Patriots, Bad

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Bunny Kid Rock, Welcome to this episode of Amy and CJ.

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Who You Got.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: It's like pick a side for the teams and pick

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: a side for your halftime show.

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Normally, normally the competition is just between the two

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: teams home playing on the gridiron. It's not between the artists,

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 3: the musical artists on the stage. But this year is

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 3: different than any other year because the competition, yeah, is

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: not just on the football field.

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 4: It's on the stage.

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: I hate it so much. I hate that this is done.

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: This bring us all together, doesn't matter what right we

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: should be good. We're divided. We can't even watch the

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: same halftime show. We need one for you and one

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: for you.

17
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: That is a sad state of where we are in

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 3: this country, and I hate it. You know what, maybe

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: we have to get this low to recognize how crappy

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: it is that.

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 4: We can't even come together. Sports brings people together, and

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 4: we're talking.

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: Too as the tragedies, yes, absolutely has.

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: We have the Olympics starting this weekend as well. This

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 3: is a weekend of unity at a time we've never

26
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: needed it more And yet We've found a way to

27
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: be divisive when it comes to massive, the biggest sporting

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: event in our country, and we found a way to

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 3: pick sides that has nothing to do with the actual

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: football game.

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: So we found a way to be divisive. But at

32
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: least on one side. We're waiting for some answers. And

33
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is, yes, we know, and

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: everybody knows. Bad Bunny is having the greatest year that

35
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: any musician has ever had. You could almost argue, but

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: he has. I guess we should say competition. There is

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: another halftime show. People know this by now, but robes

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: what I am confused about. There seems to be some

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: confusion about what this halftime show will be, will be,

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: where we will be seen?

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: Can you attend it? Is it live?

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of questions about the all nobody can

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: see my air quote the All American halftime show, And.

44
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: You're putting it in quotes because the implication is by

45
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: calling that halftime show the alternative to this half time

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: show the All American halftime show, that somehow the halftime

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 3: show we're getting from the NFL isn't American.

48
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: Can stay up there for a.

49
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: Seconds, I struggle I'm trying to be open to somebody

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: else's idea. Here I go again with this foolishness. You're

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: an American living in wherever, in Arkansas, in Tennessee, in Alabama,

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: in Texas. You're watching this great American pastime, and that

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: halftime there's someone speaking nothing but English as they are entertaining.

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: You can we leave room for somebody that not being

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: your cup of tea?

56
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: We can leave room for that, right.

57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: Sure, it might not be your favorite kind of music.

58
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 4: Bad Bunny.

59
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: He sings in Spanish. He's exclusively, exclusively Spanish. And it's

60
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: a big deal that he is obviously being honored with

61
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: the halftime show, but do just one album of the year. Yes,

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: won three Grammys last weekend. He has worked his way

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: up in an American dream kind of way.

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: This was a guy who.

65
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: Was basically just doing music on the side and working

66
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: his ass off to pay the bills as a grocery bagger.

67
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 3: I believe that was what his job was when he

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: started making music on the side. If that's not the

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: American dream, I don't know what is. He's a Puerto Rican,

70
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: which by the way, means he is an American and

71
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: all of us here in this country have come from

72
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: diverse backgrounds, Each and every one of us. Unless you

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: are a native American, you and your ancestors or your

74
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: ancestors spoke another language. And yes, we are a beautiful

75
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: melting pot. That's what makes this country to America.

76
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: I hear you.

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: But the reality is when you talk about diverse backgrounds,

78
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: many people feel, or or at least embrace that there's

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: only one type of patriotism. It only looks a certain way,

80
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: and it only speaks a certain language, right, And so

81
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to leave room for that and this not

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: being your cup of tea. I struggle going to the

83
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: next level of that in saying, well, I don't I'm

84
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: not really a fan of his music. Now it's this

85
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: is anti American that I can't be a part of.

86
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: That is the next level that I struggle with.

87
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: And that does hell.

88
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: That's been halftime performers. You haven't been crazy about some

89
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: of their music. I haven't been crazed about some of them,

90
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: and I watch it.

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: It's fine, But you know what's cool about that?

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't necessarily listen to that music, or know

93
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: that music, or speak Spanish or even know what the heck,

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: he's saying, but it's kind of cool to be exposed

95
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: to it, to listen to it, to.

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 4: Yes, you can have your opinion, but take it in

97
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 4: because that's what makes the world beautiful.

98
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: If we all look tolike, sound to the same, believe

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: the same, how boring and tedious would that be?

100
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: I celebrate and perfect all of that.

101
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: Some would argue, no, no, no, I'm saying the argument is,

102
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: that is what we're going for. If it doesn't look

103
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: like this, sound like this, if it's not this color,

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: it is not this sound. If you're not this person,

105
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: if it's not this language, then it's not American. And

106
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: that's why I struggle. I leave room for people who

107
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: think that I don't want to hear all Spanish during

108
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: a halftime performance. I will, at least I'll be open

109
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: and listening. But if you take the next step and

110
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: saying this guy is anti American, or this guy is

111
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: not an American, or saying we need to have another

112
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: because this isn't representative of us, I am saying this

113
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: guy is more representative of us than anything on the

114
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: stage that we have seen.

115
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: Agreed, And yes, he has spoken.

116
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: Out against Trump's immigration policies, so have at least half

117
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: of this country who are yes, English speaking Americans. It's

118
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: not as if he doesn't represent what a lot of

119
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: Americans are feeling now. So he's not some outlier from

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: another country coming in speaking a different language and disparaging

121
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: our immigration policy. He is an American who has an

122
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: opinion that is similar to a lot of other Americans.

123
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: And that is what makes this country and gives it

124
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: the strength that has because we are we are who

125
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: we are, and we have the power we have in

126
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: this world because we are not just one mind. We're

127
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: a collective from all sorts of places around the world.

128
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: And that's what makes this country so unique and so special.

129
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: And you don't I agree, you don't have to like

130
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: the music, but can we not appreciate the diversity that makes.

131
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: Our country what it is.

132
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: This is just music.

133
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 4: It's and music again, just like sports.

134
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 3: The two things that unite us all in periods of

135
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: pain and divisiveness, I would argue, are sports, hip and music. Ye,

136
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: and now somehow we have found a way to make

137
00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: those things divisive.

138
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: I don't understand.

139
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: So stay here, folks, there is an alternate halftime show.

140
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: There is right now at least a lack of clarity

141
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: about exactly where the show is happening, when is happening,

142
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: who's performing, and if it's going to be live.

143
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: We'll try to answer some of those questions.

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 5: Stay here, Welcome back.

145
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: Everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ, where we

146
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: are coming to you from what's called Radio Row in

147
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: San Francisco, getting ready for the big game.

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: Getting a little rowdy here.

149
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: People are getting excited, the volumes raising. I don't know

150
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: if anyone can hear the ambient noise behind us, but

151
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: it's exciting. There's a lot of positive energy, which is

152
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: what we all look forward to. Yes, the game's great,

153
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: but this is a fun moment where the country comes together,

154
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: much like the Olympics that are going on Malan, but

155
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: here in this country, this is a way for us

156
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: all to unite to.

157
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: Celebrate America's great pastime.

158
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: And yet somehow this year we have found a way

159
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: to make it divisive.

160
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: You know what, even if.

161
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: We're divided over who we want to win the game,

162
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: will at least all watch what the commercials and the

163
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: halftime show that's not controversial.

164
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: The commercials and the halftime show add to that special.

165
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, the unity that we all get behind.

166
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: Yes, we're fighting over it this year.

167
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 3: We're fighting over it, and and honestly, there are so

168
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: many questions. So the All American halftime show was announced

169
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: in October, right around the same time it was announced

170
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: that Bad Bunny would be the halftime show performer.

171
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, President Trump came out.

172
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: Not happy at all with Bad Bunny as the announced performer.

173
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: I'm going to go ahead, namely because of his very

174
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 3: public stance against Trump's immigration policy. He's a Puerto Rican

175
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: and he certainly had some videos on social media looking

176
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: at ice agents, going after ice agents, kind of exposing

177
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: ice agents. So that is where this beef started. But

178
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: this is a man whose music just exudes positivity, even

179
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: if you don't know what he's saying, which I don't,

180
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: but I love to be I love I love how everybody,

181
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: just the whole audience just.

182
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 4: Just sways with it.

183
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: It's just got a rhythm and a there's a lightness.

184
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: There's a learned by Sunday. I promise I'll learn Spanish

185
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: by Sunday.

186
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 4: I love that. But yeah, so that's like, how cool

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: that's your reaction.

188
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna learn Spanish by Sunday. You know, like if

189
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: more of us can take that attitude, I want to.

190
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: I want to join in. I want to sing along.

191
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: I want to know what he's saying. Yes, can that be?

192
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: Isn't that American? No, we have to have an all

193
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: American halftime show to compete with.

194
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: Should bad Bunny have known better?

195
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: Like?

196
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Did you stay out of it? Like he should be

197
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: able to speak his mind if he wants to.

198
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 2: That's not it.

199
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: But some would say, hey, just seeing someone tell a

200
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: basketball player just dribble, so, you know.

201
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: Kind of a thing.

202
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he kind of invited at least political backlash

203
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: by speaking up against something that's fair.

204
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: But I would say he was speaking in defense of

205
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: his people, and so I think that's different. He's not

206
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: just Look, we've all seen the Hollywood actors and actresses

207
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: who speak out about things they have no connection to

208
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: but just to take a political stand, and they get

209
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: lambasted and it ends up doing more harm than good.

210
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: This is somebody who has skin in the game. This

211
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 3: is someone who is speaking up for his community. Look,

212
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: and so I feel like it's personal and he has

213
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: he has a right again as an American to speak

214
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: his truth.

215
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 4: Again, very American.

216
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: Of us to be able to speak freely about how

217
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: we feel about policies our government is enacting and enforcing.

218
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: I didn't plan on but one lands before we wrap here.

219
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: If he hadn't said anything having to do with ice

220
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: sent about the administration, do you think the backlash would

221
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: be the same. Would there be an all American halftime show?

222
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: I don't think so.

223
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: I think that is Look, obviously, him speaking only in

224
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: Spanish would be people would definitely say stuff about that, no.

225
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: Question, Henri lash right.

226
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, people would still take issue with it, perhaps

227
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: and question the choice.

228
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: But I don't think we'd have an.

229
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: Alternative halftime show if he hadn't spoken out against the

230
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: tactics that immigration agents have been employing over the last year.

231
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: And tell me now, who can I see in this

232
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: all American halftime show?

233
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: When? When can I see this? Where can I see this?

234
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 2: Tell me who the big.

235
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: Headliners are to battle the biggest pop star on the planet.

236
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: I know Taylor Swift is awesome, but you all bad

237
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: Bunny is the biggest pop star on planet Earth right now.

238
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 3: He's certainly in terms of Spotify, in terms of the Grammys, like,

239
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: you can't argue with the numbers an.

240
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: Argument they are what they say, are they going to

241
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 4: put up? The goal gives this guy, So we now know.

242
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 4: And this was just announced a few days ago, so.

243
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: I don't know if they were trying to pull stuff

244
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: together and this was what they got.

245
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 4: But you got Kid Rock.

246
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: Who has been obviously a huge vocal supporter from the

247
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: campaign trail on, and then he will be accompanied by

248
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: country singers Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, and Gabby Barrett.

249
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: Now familiar, your name is familiar.

250
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: I could not tell you a song that any of

251
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 3: those aforementioned country artists. I only know Lee, Bryce's name.

252
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: I don't even know the other names. I'm not saying

253
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: that other people and they aren't very prominent within the

254
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: country music world.

255
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: I'm just not familiar with them.

256
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: We know that the halftime show is going to begin

257
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: at eight pm Eastern Time, which is expected to go

258
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 3: up head to head with the NFL halftime show, so

259
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: they're going to be at the same time. They're going

260
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: to actually begin the coverage at seven thirty, so maybe

261
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: they can hopefully get some folks to come over to

262
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: Trinity Broadcasting Network and then it's going to be streaming on,

263
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,119
Speaker 3: turning Point USA.

264
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: And and not started until the actual halftimes.

265
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: Seven thirty is when they're starting, So they're actually going

266
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 3: to start a little ahead of time just to kind

267
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 3: of get the excitement up, to build it up. Now

268
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: here's what we and it's also going to be by

269
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: the way on Turning Point usay's x rumble and YouTube account,

270
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: so there will be ways to watch it online and

271
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: ways to watch it on Turner Broadcasting Net or not Turner.

272
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 3: Sorry that I got Turning Point USA and Trinity Broadcasting

273
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: Network confused.

274
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: So those are the.

275
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: Two TBN and streaming. But here's what we don't know,

276
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: and we have searched exhaustively. We cannot say for sure

277
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: if this is going to it's going to be streamed live,

278
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 3: but is it pre recorded? Don't know where is the

279
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: actual concert taking place. Can't find a location anywhere. If

280
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: it's already been pre taped, maybe they already have an

281
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: audience that was already hand selected. We don't know if

282
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: you if you can buy tickets to there are no

283
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 3: ticket sales that I can see online.

284
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: All of all of what we have seen online.

285
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: Would point to the fact that it's most likely pre

286
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: taped and already had a curate an audience there and

287
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: it will go up again. And look, if they do

288
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: it that way, there are no snaffoos, there are no

289
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: technical glitches.

290
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 4: They're going to have a perfectly highly.

291
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 3: Produced and edited performance to go up against bad money.

292
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 3: This will be fat. Obviously, there's not going to be

293
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: a direct comparative because you.

294
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: Don't have Are you curious? I think it's curiosity more

295
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: than anything.

296
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 4: I might you know what we might do.

297
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: We might watch and maybe have up on an iPad

298
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: something just to kind of glance down and see the

299
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: difference between the two.

300
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: Sweetheart.

301
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: As a journalist, I'm looking at it and I want

302
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on it. But as an American

303
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: and as a football watcher, why distract This is our

304
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: event today. Let's watch this event as Americans. If I

305
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: got a beef with it, that's fine. I hate hate.

306
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: We need an alternative to an American event because it's

307
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: not American enough for some people.

308
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: Well, hope that's awful, but he is awful. It just weird.

309
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: He's American, and Spanish speakers are Americans, and this music

310
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: is American. All of this is about the it crazy,

311
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: the thing that brings us together. Football game and we

312
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: need two options at halftime because we can't hang out

313
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: together at halftime.

314
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: We are the United States of America. No, but I

315
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: agree with you, Baban. Look, I just wish I wish

316
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: more people could.

317
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 4: Could see the beauty.

318
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: You don't have to agree with someone, you don't have

319
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: to like it, but just acceptance. Acceptance is peace, Acceptance

320
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: is love. Acceptance is understanding that you might not have

321
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: all the answers and your way of living and the

322
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 3: way you were raised in the bubble that you lived

323
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: in might actually get bigger and more beautiful if you

324
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: look and accept the way other people, what they can

325
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: bring to the experience and the culture of music. My god,

326
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: can you imagine if we just had a bunch of

327
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: white people producing music.

328
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: Well the same, Like a lot.

329
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Of people would be happy with that if every year

330
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: there's a white person playing white music.

331
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: And that is what.

332
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: American Scandinavia where you have a better shot at that,

333
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 3: Like I just if you live in this country. It's

334
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: the beauty of this country is seeing what so many

335
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: different rich cultures bring to our country and we all

336
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: can call ourselves Americans. That is what I'm most proud

337
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: of of our country and it's what we're trying to

338
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: get away from, and that is incredibly scary and sad

339
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: and lonely, lonely.

340
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: And on that note, we are we're going to wrap

341
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: up here now in Radio row here on Big Game Weekend.

00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: big and I'm giving an example.

344
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: This is at the end.

345
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: This we should have started with this. This is one

346
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: of the most fun things we're going to say. Is

347
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: we're in a huge room of constant sports big names.

348
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: Right Robot has no freaking idea who any of them are.

349

00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: gray I saw.

353
