And she's 100% fake when it comes to this stuff. And outside of talking about 14-year-old boys that she broke up with, I don't know if there's anything authentic about her.

Yeah, well, you brought back an old tradition. You mentioned the Super Bowl halftime, one that Joe Biden sat out. Now, he didn't know he was sitting out. We think they took him to a Little League football game and told him it was the Super Bowl, and he thought he probably did one. But maybe starting a new tradition where the sitting president goes to the Super Bowl.

What is more American than that? What is more American than that entrance that Donald Trump had, shaking hands with the players there before the game? And then we talk about juxtaposition. You talk about Taylor Swift sitting on one side and Donald Trump sitting on the other.

How about the juxtaposition of the president not only doing the interview, but looking unbelievably cognizant and going at warp speed in the first couple of weeks of his administration? That, to me, was the worst look for the Democrats. Donald Trump was cognizant. He was aware. He was snappy. He was serious. Could also be light. Just totally different than what Joe Biden did.

Well, I mean, Megan, you know, you bring up the small ball comment, and I think you're right. I think something that would have been cooler is he'd have brought Drake out during that, and they would have squashed the beef, and it would have been like a unifying thing, and everybody would have got behind it. I think that would have been a much more lucrative way to go about it.

Now, all of a sudden, next week, y'all are dropping a remix to a song together that goes to number one in the charts because you just did it at the Super Bowl. But it's this childish thing, and look, we know people do this in music. They beef with each other in this, that, and the other. But as far as deciding to put him as the halftime show, and David has three great solutions. Yeah.

in the Super Bowl halftime, which I'm sure he's going to tell you here in a minute. But if I can't understand the words that you're saying, and when I listen to Money Trees by Kendrick Lamar and some of the other songs he does that I like, I can 100% understand what he's saying. But he might as well have been speaking North Korean to me.

That's why after the first three minutes, I couldn't understand. I can't go along with something. You know, it was verbal braille. That's what it was. That's what it was. I had no idea.

Yeah, Megan, can we just for a second, just about The View, because what would have happened, and I'm gonna try and obviously watch my words here. I think if we wanted to get answers from terrorists faster, we wouldn't have to waterboard them. We wouldn't have to torture them.

The form of torture we should actually use is to strap them to a chair and just play 24 hours straight of The View on a loop. I think you would get answers to where all the terrorists are. I think Hamas would be done in three weeks if we would just do that to a couple of them. They tell us where everything is. I'd break like that.

But the worst part is, regardless of what would have happened at halftime, if it would have been a white person singing at halftime with all mixed people behind them, they would have called Donald Trump racist because a white person sang at halftime. There's no winning it. There's no way to appease these people because this is all they got. But Megan, here's what I'm begging all Republicans to do.

All pundits that go on shows, let them keep doing it. They're losing and they're losing so hard. They've been found out. Don't help them. I see Mike Murphy and these guys on panels trying to tell them how to help them. I come to the sports world.

If you're running the ball and it's not working and I'm on defense, I don't go over to you at halftime and say, hey guys, y'all may want to start throwing the ball. We struggle against that worse. Let them bury themselves. Let the view keep doing it. Let Margaret Brennan and all these other people keep doing it because they're going to keep going down.

Yeah, no, I don't trust you. Yeah, you can, again, it was effective. Like, I mean, I could feel something. We just had our first child that, you know, affects me. But, you know, also one of the first things I thought when we had our child was about vaccines. I mean, you brought up, Megan, eight boosters.

Brad Pitt didn't need eight boosters to get cured in World War Z, let alone we need eight boosters to beat coronavirus.

Oh, you haven't seen the zombie movie with Brad Pitt? Oh, Megan, put it on the list. Put it on the big screen. Let's get it on the big screen. Well, here's the funny part. Megan, you and Doug need to watch it, and it'll get to the point at the end where I'm talking about it, and you'll be like, oh, Jake, what Jake said is 100% true. Like, there is 100% true.

Megan, thanks for having us. Excited to be back. Hope you, it sounds like you had a good time out there.

Yeah, well, again, why can't anybody just, the next brand that screws up, the best way to fix it is the best way to always fix it when you mess up. When I mess up and don't put the napkins in the right place in the kitchen, my wife gets upset. You know what I say? I'm sorry. There you go. We'll be better next time.

If the Bud Light CEO would have came out and looked down the barrel of a camera and said, look, we made a mistake in marketing. I didn't have a hand in it, but it was on me. I'm asking for your forgiveness. And here's a, we're going to lower the price of Bud Light by a dollar or something like that for the next week or something. That would have gotten you back in the good graces.

Because still, to this day, Megan, when I walk up to a bar, If I'm going to order a Bud Light, which I don't anymore, if that thought pops in my head, I look around to see how many guys are around me. Because every time I say the word Bud Light, I think about Dylan Mulvaney in like a Nike outfit for women. And it just gives me the chills and takes me to a Stranger Things place.

Well, it depends on where you're at. I mean, at the Super Bowl, it's been a great year. I mean, you come back down where we're at in SEC country, and we may take you to an Iron Bowl and let you see maybe a little bit more vitriol. But no, the Super Bowl, everybody's feeling good.

Wow.

Only rich people can do that. Only a rich person. I've never seen a plumber from the middle of Ohio go, you know what? I'm the number one plumber here in Canton, but I'm stepping down because I'm white. That's like the richest thing I've ever heard. That's in a fantasy land that I can't even. I hope one day maybe I could live in that realm. I'm not stepping down.

Maybe it's for one of my kids or something.

No, he didn't need to.

And if you're a Chiefs fan, until they kicked off, and then it was just an absolute bloodletting, as we call it back home.

Yeah, well, look, it's the formula for the perfect ad, right? America winning wars, your product. Good monologue that isn't political, plus a dog. And Han Solo.

I think they beat him to it.

I mean, yeah. Look, Matthew McConaughey, his versatility is incredible. But, you know, Megan, this is like the culmination of a bunch of other commercials that they've done with Matthew McConaughey talking about food that have all been funny. So this was like the mea culpa of it to me.

It's fantastic. So I think it's original too. I'm the biggest football fan in the world. I would have never made that connection. So the originality, Matthew McConaughey being funny and then going through the different eras of football all the way back to the first game to kind of modern day with Peyton Manning. I just thought it was absolutely perfectly put together. And it's funny.

Well, I mean, at what point? I just think, I don't even think it's about them winning or losing. I just think they want to burn stuff. Yeah. Like, it just doesn't matter.

It's originally funny and not forced, which I think is money.

Yeah, all right, all right, all right. I can't. Half his commercials, at least I understood what he was saying in that one. When he does the Escalade commercials, he's just talking in nonsensical quips. And it still works. And it still works. It's closer to Kendrick Lamar. That's how you know you've got talent.

They just want to go burn stuff. I've never understood that burning down your city after you won. I just don't.

Well, when my wife was pregnant, I mean, we probably had the Uber Eats stock go up about 70% for the last four months of that. So it's always a winner. And I mean, you don't even have to go to the drive. I think drive-thrus may be hurting a little bit like the old school drive-thrus because you don't even have to go to the drive-thru anymore. They'll just bring it to the house.

There's something about people delivering your food.

Thanks so much for having us, Megan. It's always a pleasure to come on here and glad you had a good time at the Super Bowl. Maybe we'll see you out there next year.

Well, Megan, I wonder how many people, Andy Reid, there's probably a lot of Andy Reid lookalikes in the United States. I think Andy Reid would be a guy you could find a lot of lookalikes. You know, bigger, mustache, not really stand out.

And lose. That's a good point.

There's always that one. There's always that one.

Yeah, I don't feel it. Taylor Swift's made so much money at the end of the day. You'd be hard pressed to make me feel bad for her about anything. But I think this goes back to authenticity. I think even the people that don't like Donald Trump respect him because at least he is being who he truly is. Taylor Swift feels like a puppet. It feels like a puppet.

If you watch her political affiliation and that mixed with them just shoving her down our throats as football fans the whole year in the past two years. I think it all culminated in that. And that's the juxtaposition. You may not like me personally, but I'm real and you can respect that. You may not like me personally, but I'm inauthentic. I'm gonna boo the inauthentic person. And you know what?

That makes me feel like we're more back than any.

I'm going to go. I'm going to talk about.

Well, I mean, in a weird way, this kind of has shades. And Megan, you may remember this of the Dixie Chicks and what happened to them. I mean, I remember that fall from grace when they got political. Now, it's not to the extent with Taylor Swift because they were still singing country music and things like that. But I would put to you, Megan, that one of the main reasons outside of awful policy.

I mean, Tim Waltz, as sad as it is, I think he was just born that way. I think he's that type of person. He's insane wanting to put tampons in the boys' bathrooms and calling yourself a football coach when we all know you weren't. And meanwhile, at the same time, you were in Tiananmen Square standing up in front of tanks when you weren't even there at the time. That's a story for another day.

But I would put to you, Megan, that one of the same reasons that Kamala lost so badly... I think she would have lost even if she was an okay candidate, was the inauthenticity. And that same thing has started to drag Taylor Swift down at the end of the day, not just getting political, not just backing the wrong political horse, but you can smell a fake from a mile away.
