Emergency Pod: Super Bowl Snooze and Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show
This episode delves into a less-than-exciting Super Bowl experience, comparing it to the energy levels of a house full of kids more interested in playing than watching. We discuss Patrick Mahomes’ performance, Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show, and what commercials caught our attention, all while hoping for a more thrilling experience next year.
• The Super Bowl viewing experience as seen through the eyes of kids
• Mahomes’ lackluster performance compared to past sports failures
• The disconnect between hip-hop artistry and Super Bowl audiences
• A look at the effectiveness of commercials during the game
• Hope for more exciting matchups and performances in future Super Bowls

Welcome to Dadbods and Dumbbells. My name is Mitch.
Speaker 2:Hey, I'm Bart.
Speaker 1:And we have a special emergency episode to talk about how horrible the Super.
Speaker 2:Bowl was, oh God, just rough.
Speaker 1:Did you watch? Wait, first of all, did you get a party invite?
Speaker 2:to a Super Bowl party. So you know, sometimes when you don't get invited to stuff, you've got to just get creative.
Speaker 1:I never got an invite but Ouch, not even from me, literally nobody. Not even from me, literally nobody.
Speaker 2:Not even a text Say hey brother, I heard the episode.
Speaker 1:Sorry to hear that. Are you doing? Okay, you need a shoulder to cry on.
Speaker 2:But my wife and I got a really great idea to like, hey, what if we hosted a little first half plus halftime Super Bowl party for my son who's 10, and like four or five of his friends? And so we told Jack and he was like, oh, that's great. And I said, who do you want? Okay, I want these kids to come. So we invited all the kids. They all accepted. I'm sure the parents were like, thank God, the parents didn't come. No, no, no, they dropped the kids off.
Speaker 1:So the parents didn't come.
Speaker 2:No, no, they dropped the kids off, so it was like a birthday party.
Speaker 1:It basically was like a birthday party watching the.
Speaker 2:Super Bowl with a lot of distracted kids playing Legos.
Speaker 1:I can't imagine my nightmare of watching the Super Bowl dude? Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2:I didn't care one way or the other, who won or how it went, so it was more about just having fun or how it went, so it was more about just having fun watching the commercials and all that stuff so. I want to hear your perspective on the Super Bowl. Mahomes not his best moment, oof, kind of like a LeBron James 2011, where he just fell apart in the finals. It really is a great depiction of that.
Speaker 1:It just looked bad. That was when LeBron was trying to reach for a championship. So it's a little different in a sense. Like they were going for the three-peat. You kind of knew leading up to it, like the hype of a three-peat, basically Eagles everybody was talking about the Chiefs. The Eagles kind of go hey, we're just going to. I mean, their whole strategy was to. They never blitzed once. That was just their four big men, regular rushes and it looked like in the first half it really looked like Mahomes looked like a rookie Running around. There were many open receivers. He just was panicked almost immediately once the rush hit and so it was hard to watch. Like it was hard to watch football and I think the good news was that Taylor Swift got booed. Just desserts, cool Love that. I don't know why I like that, but I liked it. Donald Trump got cheered.
Speaker 2:And booed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love it. I love that he got the appropriate amount of cheers and boos Good for him, you know.
Speaker 2:I like that he brought Ivanka with him. Good for him, you know, I like that he brought Ivanka with him.
Speaker 1:I thought that was great, like a father-daughter date to the Super Bowl. Definitely, because I'm definitely sure Melania did not want to come.
Speaker 2:No she's like give me three events that I have to come to over the course of this year. I'll sign off on them. Everything else, I'll be in Mar-a-Lago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll be in Mar-a-Lago with my big hat, so I think it's funny to think about the logistics it took for President Trump to get on the first half of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2:Like.
Speaker 1:I think it's hard to getting up out of Dripping Springs and driving to Austin FC to go to my season tickets. Like 40 minutes worth of driving. That's tough buddy, like you have to really want to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2:You can't just take the train.
Speaker 1:Not from Dripping Springs. Oh yeah, and the train stinks. It gets packed yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't want to hang out with a popper. I park at.
Speaker 1:Dillard's like the rest of us, you know. And then we walk. Anyway, all that to say, the Chiefs got absolutely bullied. I mean, I think we all expected after that pick six that was an awesome pick six from Cooper Dejean when they got the ball back. But when he threw that second interception it was like oh, this is over. And it went up 24 to nothing, because the idea was 17 to nothing. He goes down, they score a touchdown. It's a 10-point game, just like in the previous Super Bowl. They get the ball back and they're back in it. That's what we imagined. And then nothing happened. He couldn't throw a flipping pass. He kept running into his offensive line. He was running scared the whole time.
Speaker 2:I think that was partly his fault but also partly the offensive line was just so overmatched that they just kept getting pushed back into his pocket and what normally would be his pocket to move around in. There wasn't any space, so it was just from an uneducated football fan.
Speaker 1:No, that's the great analysis. That is true, you got it right At one point.
Speaker 2:Literally his offensive line almost tackled him for a sack because he fell into the guy and the guy kind of wrapped him up and they just both went down. I was just like this is terrible. It was bad football.
Speaker 1:Now in the second half, it was like they had already won.
Speaker 2:I stopped watching it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the second half. A lot of people stopped watching Kendrick Lamar. The the second I have. A lot of people stop watching Kendrick Lamar. The worst part about watching the halftime show with anybody that like this is why you don't want to go to a Superbowl party. All I wanted to do was watch it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I want to see it.
Speaker 1:Everybody wants to talk. We should put on the subtitles. I can't understand.
Speaker 2:I'm like guys get off of that you know like it was so fascinated, like how much of the song can he say without being like?
Speaker 1:he's saying so much?
Speaker 2:I know he's saying it all yeah, and he kept teasing it the whole time. That was pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, I I actually really enjoyed.
Speaker 1:It wasn't like the best one.
Speaker 2:I think the best one was, uh, the rams bengal super bowl with like all the snoop and 50 and Eminem and when you have that, when you have, like all these great hip hop, you know, legends up there, and then and then, a couple of years later you have one guy it's tough.
Speaker 2:I mean, kendall Lamar is more relevant right now than like Eminem and Snoop and those guys, so I understand that piece of it. Uh, and I guess, if you look at the weekend when he was, when he was, that was a pretty good show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that was rihanna was a good show, like I like a good show.
Speaker 2:I mean, I think, uh, I think it's always hyped too much the hard thing about hip-hop is that, like hip-hop is so popular for a very select group group of people tell me about that group, all right well, it's people that love hip-hop, it's not. I'm not talking about black and white, it's just like there's, like you know, I mean I don't know how many millions of people listen, I mean that song, I mean I listened to it a hundred times, probably over the course of like a couple months, even humble.
Speaker 1:You know, be humble, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2:All those songs are like I mean, it's millions and millions of views. But the average football fan, or at least the fan who shows up for the Super Bowl to watch, doesn't listen to Kendrick Lamar. And it's not poppy hip-hop where it's like, oh, the melody and the hook and it's like, oh, they ripped off this Stevie Wonder song and we all know that song and that's great. You know what I mean. Like Biggie and Tupac, one of the things that like, like I'm gonna say this diddy did well, uh, is he would, he would hook, he would, he would use all these like 70s r&b and like soul hooks yeah and it just gave it such a cool like yeah like relevant vibe that people could be like, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And the same thing with run dmc. When they helped uh bc boys, it was all these like led zeppelin, uh d or what's the guys from david from uh van haven no van halen cover oh, I don't know, so uh who's the guitar player from van haley, van halen.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So eddie van halen was like, did the actual guitar tracks for bc boys? But it made bc boys hip-hop relevant to the typical white listener, because they're they're used to rock and roll and they're like, okay, these guys are kind of like cool hip-hoppy, but still like, yeah, it's, there's some, there's enough sounds there. So that's my point. It's just like aren't they kendrick? Is he kendrick's like charlie parker? You know you and charlie parker is no good lord.
Speaker 1:What's wrong with years old bart?
Speaker 2:charlie parker is the greatest jazz musician of all time.
Speaker 1:Of course it's jazz.
Speaker 2:No, but my point is like it's like all the way through jazz it was like everything was really like uh, was uh popular music? It was like, you know, it's like swing and all that stuff. Very easy to listen to. Charlie parker, didzy, gillespie, these guys, thelonious Monk these guys were so incredibly gifted, like geniuses at music and took jazz to a place that a lot of people couldn't hear it.
Speaker 1:It's too fast, it's too complicated, it's too much going on, there's too many layers, not so no, just in when you have to speak about the genius of an artist no, no no, no, most people don't like it because it's too, it's way. No, you can and you can stay too good that no one likes it. On the side.
Speaker 2:You can sit on the side of like well, it's, it's no longer pop music, it's no longer, it's not, it's not appropriate for the super bowl. And then the other side of you say what well, I mean, there's so many layers to like how great it is. And you know, yeah, you know, you have to be able to understand where this comes from, and blah, blah. And you know I don't want to get on that rabbit hole, but but I, I just I think that for people that don't know kendrick lamar yeah, it was hard for them to be, like to look in, like have a window into his music. Oh yeah, like, this is good, this is that. Yeah, I get you.
Speaker 1:No, no, I understand that and he's very polarizing and I think if I didn't follow the whole Drake Kendrick.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't care, the beauty of the whole thing. I wish Lil.
Speaker 1:Wayne can seize a local they would have yeah Like what I would like to see is a much more collaborative effort to where it reaches all genres, just like what you described with the rock into the pop, into the, the rap or whatever. Anyway, all that to say music not so good, I would give a. I'd give the halftime show four and a half out of ten, probably. Wow, okay, I mean overall. I mean my favorite was jana jackson, justin timberlake because of the nipple. Hey, I didn't say it, you said it.
Speaker 2:I remember watching that with my buddies I watched the halftime show for that reason. This morning, every time, this morning literally, one of the guys at my boot camp in dripping said it's been so long since we saw a nipple at half time I thought, god, that's legendary.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, all that to say, I think four out of five, what any commercials, uh, you know, pop out, I missed I didn't again didn't watch the second half.
Speaker 2:It was like there was there was a pfizer commercial okay about a kid who gets out of hospital and he has like no shirt on, he's got boxing gloves and it's like a muhammad oh, yeah, yeah yeah, and then he like hugs his mom and then everybody had cancer and I, just like he, rang the bell yeah, yeah, but how about this?
Speaker 1:everybody said at the end was because that was a, that was a commercial. I was like okay, cool. And then at the end was because that was a commercial. I was like okay, cool. And then at the end it was like he hugs his mom. I was like, wait, why wouldn't his mom?
Speaker 2:have been there. She's just at home. What?
Speaker 1:He has to make his way, he not?
Speaker 2:only just finished his last game. It's like she gave up on him already.
Speaker 1:That was all the jokes man, I think that's the best part of like seeing it with friends, yeah, other than by yourself like you did. Uh, is that? That was the person who's like why the hell would the mom?
Speaker 2:where are the parents? We have a problem here it was pretty great.
Speaker 1:That is a good one yeah um, yeah, I, I mean all around average. The matchup was average at best. I mean it was the worst super bowl of all time. They say worst beat down ever they got, but it, but it's uh, but it was the worst Super Bowl of all time.
Speaker 2:They say Worst beatdown ever. They got freaking, but it was the most attempt watched. That's what they say. But how do they even measure that?
Speaker 1:It's just like how we measure our listeners. I mean, we had a million downloads last week.
Speaker 2:One million, one million downloads last week. It's crazy. Yeah, don't check me on that, because you can't, you can't, there's no way to know.
Speaker 1:That's what they say. But all that to say, I think the matchup, the Eagles were the best team and they won. Yeah, never again do I want to see the Eagles or the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, ever again. Let's get rid of them. I would like to see my Super Bowl matchup next year. Let's do the previews. Bengals Packers.
Speaker 2:I have no point of view. I want to see the Cowboys, oh, hold on, and the Chargers and the Chargers win 51-0.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And everyone is just like they're so gung-ho for the Cowboys. This is our year. This is our year.
Speaker 1:And they just get like Get blasted, get boat raced. Well, I love Justin Herbert because he's an Oregon Duck, so I'm with you. Are you a Chargers?
Speaker 2:guy I used to be back in the Dan Fouts era.
Speaker 1:I mean that was the one that that was probably the worst beat. That was, uh, the 49ers and the Chargers oh, buddy dude, they got uh, I think the fastest time anybody's been dunked in a Gatorade shower was that game. I mean, this one was close. I think minute three 252 yeah they dunked uh Sirianni the coach. It was over in gatorade like it was pretty awful. It was pretty awful football well, there it is.
Speaker 2:Uh, my, my son and his friends had a great time yeah probably more because of the pizza and the sugar?
Speaker 1:did they all kick, get kicked out? Did you actually kick them out at halftime?
Speaker 2:yeah, halftime. As soon as the halftime show was over, we're like we texted the parents. Be like come get your kid did they all come?
Speaker 1:who was the kid that stayed? The latest, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Let's shame them no, there, because there was like two. They're both. Uh, there was two sets of brothers there yeah and so that was that was easy because you know you parent comes and both kids leave, and so it was easy to get everybody out the door, got it, no issues, nobody who wanted to, like you know, hang out and like, do a sleepover was Sunday night, so it's like school the next morning.
Speaker 2:We want our kid to get to bed. He was so hopped up on cupcakes he had a hard time going to sleep and Mountain Dew. And Mountain Dew, but cupcakes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean his body's a temple just like yours. I bet Any type of change in that.
Speaker 2:Protein cupcakes, the Kodiak cupcakes, the kodiak cupcakes. Well yeah, the super emergency pod yeah all right, stop that.
Speaker 1:You know I hate that, but I love you uh. Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoyed your super bowl, uh, but you probably didn't have a great day bye.
