1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Anny and Samantha, and welcome to stuff

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: I've never told your direction of iHeart radio.

3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: And welcome to another mundane mini where I'm just gonna

4
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: talk about current affair stuff.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: I guess it's not really that current because it's been

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: over a week or two how many weeks?

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 4: Any?

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 3: Three weeks, two years?

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 4: And then then I think we're approaching two weeks.

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, fine, fine, we'll be what it is.

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna talk about the super Bowl a little

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: bit just because I found it interesting. I don't typically

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: watch the super Bowl. It's not something I care about.

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: I can care less about the you know, the racist

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: name team versus any I was pulling for the Eagles.

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. There was no reason other than

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: the names.

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: I think Kansas City, come on, get it together, like

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: all these things.

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: So I'm like, you know what in Kansas City win

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: last year? I don't know, I don't they did, Oh

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: they did? Okay, s.

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: Oh and this will be the first one in history,

24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: right or something like that.

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad I lost. Sorry, I don't like it.

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 4: So it's hard to say.

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: Oh no, there's so many things here. But with all

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: of that.

29
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: I found it interesting because again, this is the first

30
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: time I watched it, and I watched it for the

31
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: halftime performance. I wanted to see what was going to happen.

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: I am all in the world of the Kendrick Drake beef.

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of entertaining and funny. I have

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: no dogs in this fight. I have no reason to

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: have an opinion other than I like certain types of

36
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: music and I think it's interesting in the story. So

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: I definitely was like coming in with like I want

38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: to I want to see what happens with this performance

39
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: because I also do enjoy Kendrick Lamar's music. I understand

40
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: this was not written for me, but I will help

41
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: make money for him and like all of the things

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: he does because I think.

43
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: It's good music.

44
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: All right.

45
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: With that said, of course, there's all these ads happening

46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: any and you said you haven't seen any of them,

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: correct now.

48
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: The second I heard Donald Trump was gonna be there, I.

49
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: Was like, that's fair enough, fair enough. I will say

50
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: there was good booing. There was a lot of people

51
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: yelling at him, so that was enjoyable to see. But

52
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: I actually missed the part where he was in and

53
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: they never really showed him throughout. I kinda was confused

54
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: that he just pop up, wave and leave, which would

55
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: been fine by me.

56
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: Uh but I don't know.

57
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: But I think that's the other parts, like Eagles have

58
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: already said no, we don't want to hang out with

59
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: you before, so I appreciate that anyway, any of all

60
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: those things. But I did watch some of the ads

61
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, because I know they come

62
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: out with YouTube videos of them previous, even before the

63
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: super Bowl. So some of them I had already heard

64
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 2: about are scene and I was like, hah, I find

65
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: it interesting.

66
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: There are some that I.

67
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: Thought I would talk about that I thought I'm putting

68
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: them in categories any So at the top I put

69
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: some that I saw that was intrigued by but suspicious of.

70
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: So when it comes to any corporate into that is

71
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: making money off of certain ideals, I'm like, I'm glad

72
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: the conversation's out there.

73
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: I hate their.

74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: Profiting off of it. Like there's so many thoughts of us,

75
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: and one of them was the Nike ad which got

76
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: a lot of heat. So Nike will be also under controversial.

77
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: Ads that I have as a category.

78
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: And their slogan for this was whatever you do, you

79
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: can't win, so whin So essentially it's like when girls

80
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: are being told you can't do this, so you should

81
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: do this type of conversation. And they had all kinds

82
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: of amazing athletes, women athletes in there. Kate ln Abilei

83
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: was in there as well, like so many different ideals

84
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: and very empowering ideals. You know, Nike does a really

85
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: good job in taking advantage profiting off of such marketings.

86
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: So I was like, okay, okay.

87
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Apparently there was some transphobic comments and backlash in that,

88
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: which I found interesting just from some of the articles,

89
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: people were really saying a lot of things that they

90
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: did not need to, referring to some of the athletes

91
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: as men like that level, Like all these things were

92
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: in there, unfortunately, but they premiered it. It was interesting

93
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: and I did love like some of the people that

94
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: they featured. There's another one and.

95
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: It was weather Tech.

96
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: And by the way, it took me forever to figure

97
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: out what the ad was, which that should be a

98
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: whole category I didn't have on here, but like trying

99
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: to figure out what they were advertising was half the game.

100
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, so weather Tech, which is like

101
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: a car company, car parks company that you can, like,

102
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: I guess, fix up your vehicle with feature like a

103
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: Thelma and Louise like episode or commercial with older women

104
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: getting out and about and doing their thing.

105
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: So okay, interesting idea.

106
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: I liked that they featured older women older people in

107
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: this as like being able to do things. They weren't

108
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: the only ones, but like they were the main storyline.

109
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: But at the same time it did fill.

110
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: Pandering as well as like they're mocking like.

111
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: Older women can't drive.

112
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: All these there were several things but interesting, intrigued, but suspicious.

113
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: Another one was a flag football ad so with actual

114
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: pro flag football players women players, which you know. I

115
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: like this aspect and I feel like I want to

116
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: get into this a little bit because flag football is

117
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: intense because they don't wear like protective gear and they

118
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: don't care. It's almost like rugby level to me the

119
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: way they play. But it is for the NFL, who

120
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: obviously they don't want to allow women into mini sports anyway,

121
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: but they're going to profit off of this by having

122
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: a flag football league confusion, So like both of those,

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: I'm suspicious, also kind of concerned, and also intrigued. There's

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: a lot of there's a lot of emotions in that one.

125
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: There was an category I said, this has just disgusted me.

126
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: And again this is kind of like outright like ooh,

127
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: I don't like it. And Hellman's is at the top.

128
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: How dare you?

129
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 4: I know, I guess we should say none of these.

130
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: Are currents, but yeah, and I probably won't be Yeah,

131
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: let me just say that they spent money. So they

132
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: brought on Meg Ryan and Bill was his name, Billy Crystal,

133
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: Billy Crystal. My mind is gone. So they brought them

134
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: on and had them recreate when Harry met Sally, and

135
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: they brought in the younger actor Sydney you know from

136
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: Euphoria as a part of that, to be the one

137
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: that says, I I'll take the same thing she's got

138
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: or I'll have what she's having type of conversation. And

139
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: it was based on mayonnaise and it was disgusting and

140
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: I hated it.

141
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: Samantha does not like mayonnaise.

142
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: My face is in disgust.

143
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Uh.

144
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: There was another one which was for like colbrew foam

145
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: and I already forgot I think it's is it coffee?

146
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: Meat?

147
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: Y'all? Everybody was like, what are you doing with this?

148
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: People were so many It was coffee made and essentially

149
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: any the commercial is a cgi'd or AI dude's tongue

150
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: reacting to it, and it's so gross and so icky

151
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: that I literally screamed at the TV.

152
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: I screamed at the TV.

153
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: Because I was like, why why And by the way,

154
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: we were watching it on tub also not a sponsor, hmm,

155
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: but like they had the better commercials from what everyone's

156
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: telling me, between Fox and TB to be was a

157
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: white place to go. Oh, because you could also stream

158
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: it for free, which I'm very baffled by streaming services

159
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: with football, I'm very baffled.

160
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

161
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: Wow, someone needs to tell me about.

162
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: There's a whole conspiracy theory about this, which is but

163
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: I we don't have time to go into it now,

164
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: but about like basically the level of booing you heard

165
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: for Trump was different.

166
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so the same thing with Kendrick Lamar performance

167
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: is based on like the audio's reaction. It's like, it's

168
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: so quiet, but apparently it wasn't. Like you had several

169
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: different views that I'm like, yeah, like we heard it again.

170
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: My partner and.

171
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: I like, well on some of the major lines and

172
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, that crowd. Yes, like

173
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: seventy thousand people are screaming apparently on Fox that was

174
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: not yep.

175
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the ext.

176
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: But they can't be verified because it's like you can

177
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: look it up on Snopes. That's what I'll say, but

178
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: that it sounds like based on the people in there,

179
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: they definitely messed with the audio.

180
00:08:58,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

181
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: So according to people who are showing their TikTok videos

182
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: of it, they're like, this is the live reaction from here,

183
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, okay, that's interesting. But some of

184
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: the more controversial When I mean controversial, I mean like

185
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: they ruffled feathers politically, socially, economically, whatever, however you want

186
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: to look at it.

187
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: You have Rocket who talked.

188
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: About owning the real dream, the real touch and how

189
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: to do that, and everybody's like, yo, you know what's

190
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: happening with the housing market right now? This is is

191
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: not what you think, especially a major company who profits

192
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: off of other people's inability or like inability to get

193
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: a house real off, real off. Another one was Monday Night.

194
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: So here in Atlanta, we have a brewery called Monday

195
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: Night Brewery, which has been around for years one of

196
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: the first breweries in Atlanta to be honest when it

197
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: was popping up, as it was getting bigger and bigger

198
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: and bigger, and we if you were watching, Cores has

199
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 2: a limited feature called Monday Nights or Monday Lights are

200
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: just Mondays because it's Cores light, bier, and and money.

201
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: And I was not happy and tried to go after them.

202
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: I think they sent to a Seats and desist and

203
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: Cord's response was like, Eh, get over it, it's for

204
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: a the minute time calm down. So that did not

205
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: go over well. I'm interested to see if anything actually happens.

206
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: I doubt it because again, huge corporation versus small independent

207
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: brewery here in Atlanta that is I think at least

208
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: Southeast wide and I think over East Coast is available.

209
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: So interesting.

210
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: They did respond by doing a Cords beer uh huh

211
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: with a gimmicky like can. So we'll see what happens

212
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: with that battle. That was controversial here. I put Nike

213
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: under this. Uber Eats did a whole thing they paid

214
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: Matthew McConaughey to do, like a very meta type of

215
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: like the whole conspiracy of football is to make you

216
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: hungry and is to make you buy more food and

217
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: make you buy delivery, and it's like all these things

218
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: and then like drawing boards and at the end of

219
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: it like go, you know, order.

220
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: Food from Uber. Yeah mm hmmm, which was.

221
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 2: Like, okay, of course we had the politically morality I

222
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: guess type of conversations, uh, the Jesus one which was

223
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: their last year too.

224
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 3: I remember watching it like what what mm hmmm.

225
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: They had another one this year as well as the

226
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: one that was for anti Semitic conversations, which is fine,

227
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 2: which is fine on itself, but then do you have

228
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady coming together who were both

229
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: under fire for a lot of things, doing this conversation

230
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: about how they're so everybody's so mean to each other.

231
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: Just stop it, seriously, seriously bro okay, okay, Calvin. Uh

232
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: liquid Death. I don't know if many people caught this.

233
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: Like everybody loved the commercials because they was like you

234
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: could drink on the job, meaning because it's water or tea.

235
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: But then like one of the cannon flavors is death

236
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: to Billionaires or billionaire death, and.

237
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: Everybody was like, oh, I like that one, Let me

238
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: have that one. So that was interesting.

239
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 2: And the big one that really made me want to

240
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: have this conversation that made me angry. It made me

241
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: so angry that I started again screaming, not in disgust,

242
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: in disgust, but more anger is Hymns and Hers. So

243
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: I got this from an article written by Northeastern Global

244
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: News in this conversation about hims and Hers, and it's

245
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: the title Hymns and Her. Super Bowl ad for new

246
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: weight loss drugs faces backlash from health experts. Not only

247
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: health experts, but people in general who understand this kind

248
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: of culture.

249
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: Here's a quote.

250
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: The ad begins with a barrage of statistics centered around

251
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: obesity and obesity related deaths in the US. Proclamations about

252
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: the broken healthcare system repeat throughout like it's really big.

253
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: It's making some pretty big claims about how we are

254
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: not being taken care of. The US doesn't care about

255
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: people all these things, which actually does hit like the

256
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: obesity thing, but like about American healthier system being broken.

257
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: RCH hits.

258
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: Right about midway through the ad, products begin to appear.

259
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: A green pill, a small vial emblazoned with the company name.

260
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: In addition to the emotion based framing, Golowakei, who contributed

261
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: to this article, says, part of the deception lies in

262
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: the presentation of esthetically pleasing products. This is research, for example,

263
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: showing that consumers think that products presented in green labels

264
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: are healthier than they really are. She says the lack

265
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: of contransparency around their labeling and their description of what's

266
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: in their products is of a concern. So essentially, what

267
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: this ad did is has all of these things about

268
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 2: how system is broken and no one's really providing care

269
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: and all these things, which I'm like, you are correct,

270
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 2: you are correct. And by the way, I did not

271
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: know what this ad was until towards the end, and

272
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: then it pops up with hims and hers we offer

273
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: you these products.

274
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: I started screaming at the.

275
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: TV because how dare you, of all companies criticize the

276
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: healthcare system which has allowed you to profit off of

277
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: the people. Don't get me wrong. Telehealth has really helped

278
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: in so many ways for people who cannot access care,

279
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: So I am not talking about that companies like this

280
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: who offer sometimes offer not all the time cheaper products,

281
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: alternative ways to get medication instead of going to the

282
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: hospitals to get an up charge from urgent cares and

283
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: such helps people who don't have insurance hopefully get a

284
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: better access. I say there are benefits. However, using this

285
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: as a way of profiting off of people who are

286
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: already seeing things that by Ozimbic and all of these things,

287
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: and who are not able to get these products because

288
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: it is being misused or now update charged because of

289
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: companies like this is infuriating. On top of the fact

290
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: that the product they were actually pushing is not FDA approved.

291
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: I know all of the administrations and all of these

292
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: organizations are solely falling apart anyway, but having a standard

293
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: of being something this has not been proven. There's no

294
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: real actual data about what type of product this is.

295
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: So they're trying to give you an alternative to Ozenmbic,

296
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: which we know what that is, we know how it

297
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: can be helpful, and we know what it's actually used for.

298
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: So they're doing this alternative route without any verification, so

299
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: that article keeps going in says the company defended itself

300
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: by suggesting, among other things, that its critics are complicit

301
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: in the broader system failures. This is a clear attempt

302
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: by industry groups to cancel an advertisement that directly calls

303
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: out how they are part of a system that fails

304
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,359
Speaker 2: to prioritize the health of Americans.

305
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: What the in gaslighting?

306
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: Hell? What?

307
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: But what? Yeah?

308
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: My hands are shaking because I'm enraged. I mean, so

309
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: there was a lot, There was a lot, and this

310
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: is one of those ones that everybody was like, what

311
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: is what is this? So I'm glad at the very

312
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: least we all recognize.

313
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: This is gross.

314
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, this is gross.

315
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: Something in here is not clicking right, and it's the advertisers.

316
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: But the fact that again they I think they and

317
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: then well, I've already had a problem with HIMS and

318
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: her specifically because it's weird when they gender the medication

319
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: to begin with, and they did they when they talk

320
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: about her. So if a woman is on here talking

321
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: about how they used hems and hers, literally it's all

322
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: about antidepressants.

323
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 3: M ohn.

324
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: Wait loss, those are the two things that women want men.

325
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: Now they have changed it because this one included men

326
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: and women for obesity stuff, so you know, I guess

327
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: they did that. But previously it was just uh, erect

328
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: aw dysfunction, so EDI was completely aimed toolder's men or

329
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: hair products like hair loss and women antidepressants and weight loss.

330
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: Like that's how they like angled or aimed their ads

331
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: to begin with.

332
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: So this was a huge switch up of.

333
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: Like, well, yes, the healthcare system is bad, pay our

334
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: private company more money so we can give you this

335
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 2: maybe useful medication that has not been verified, which some

336
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 2: people have said that it's actually illegal that we know,

337
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 2: with how things are going, probably not because people probably

338
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: own shares in that company. Yeah, you know what I mean,

339
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. So there's a lot and

340
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: with that I might kind of end up.

341
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: I will say.

342
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: There was a lot of star powered obviously ads like

343
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: I guess movie stars are moving on knowing that they

344
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 2: need money because maybe all the strikes really affected them.

345
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 3: I don't know.

346
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: But like hogandhas had like literally the Fast and Furious

347
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: casts coming in being like we're old now, we just

348
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: want ice cream. Hey me too, me too, Pringles so

349
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: many mustaches. Ron Swanson slash Nick Offerman was in there.

350
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: No one really talked about that.

351
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: Silo Artois had Matt Damon and David Beckham pretending to

352
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: be brothers, Matt David popping in out of nowhere every time.

353
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: Hex Clad had Ramsey Gordon and Pete Davidson talking about

354
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: being aliens. All the celebrities are aliens, which you know what,

355
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: I believe that, m M.

356
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 4: That's an interesting new conspiracy theory.

357
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: So Home Sock had Morgan Freeman, Danny Levy, and Heidi

358
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: Gardner in there, so like from SNL, so they definitely

359
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: pushed that.

360
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: There's so many more. Matt McConaughey was in several ads.

361
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's just he must have a

362
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: great I mean, I guess he's so famous he doesn't

363
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: really need a a lot of times you have to

364
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: have a non compete. You can't do multiple ads, but

365
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: they must be like Matthew McCartney.

366
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: I think yes, several, But I will say with that

367
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: because I've seen him in all of like the car ads,

368
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: he's had Watch ads, he has had.

369
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: Several ads Ai ads.

370
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: Yes, was it with.

371
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: Matt Damon in the Bitcoin.

372
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: Anyway?

373
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: All of these like they're all climbing up on the ads.

374
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: I will say the seal Mountain Dew.

375
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 3: Have you seen this one?

376
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: I wanted to send that one to you and Andrew

377
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 2: because we love that song because from a Rose, and

378
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: they decided to use it in Mountain Dew.

379
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 3: Gotta do what you gotta do a lot of good things.

380
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 2: By the way, apparently Seal does not age either, like

381
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: it's awesome to see.

382
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: I guess you know.

383
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 2: That's my review of the Super Bowl ads. We have

384
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: been talking about doing an episode about diet culture and

385
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: where we are today with access to things like Zimbek,

386
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: which is a very controversial conversation to have. But stuff

387
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: like that hymns and hers, stuff with regulations and such

388
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: is really concerning, especially when you have it on things

389
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: like super Bowl timing. So also, yeah, I love the

390
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar performance.

391
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: Real good. Ten ten ten out of ten.

392
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,040
