Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the highlights and the lowlights of the Super Bowl.
Ben, if you're not fiber maxing, what the heck you doing? It's Monday, February 9th. Let's ride.
Good morning and welcome back to the week. If your office is looking a little empty today, it might be because some of your coworkers have come down with the old Super Bowl flu. Even before last night's game, about one in 100 workers scheduled PTO, according to HR platform Bamboo, and ultimately over 26 million may miss work today. A separate survey by Workday asked people taking off their primary reasons for doing so. 45% said they needed to catch up on sleep. 34% said they were feeling unmotivated. and 27% acknowledge they'll be too hungover.
You know what's going to be even worse next year, though? The Super Bowl lands on February 14th. Do you know what day that is, Neil?
I think I have an idea.
It marks 10 days until my birthday, and it's also Valentine's Day. It's no holiday sacred anymore. The NFL has come for Thanksgiving. The NFL has come for Christmas Day. Now they have overtaken Valentine's Day. Just as Monday brings a surge of the Super Bowl flu, I'm predicting next year will bring a surge of brunch reservations rather than dinner reservations. But the relationship strife will hopefully be worth it because the day after the Super Bowl is President's Day, which is a national holiday. So hopefully that will smooth things over and give you plenty of time to relax. do the dishes left over from the Super Bowl party. And now an ad from our new sponsor, FlavCity. Aye, top of the morning to you, Neil.
Toby, it is way too early for this.
Well, you sound like a guy who didn't get enough protein yet today, and your wee little arms only prove it.
What were the highlights and lowlights of this year's Super Bowl?
Too bad you don't have your own delicious all-in-one protein smoothie made with FlavCity's shamrock flavor.
My arms are not weak.
Oh, there we are, right? And you're missing out. FlavCity is made with all real ingredients, 25 grams of protein, 10 grams of collagen, and it doesn't taste like kissing the pavement after a lad's night out. It's my secret to turning every day into my own pot of gold.
Head to shopflavcity.com to try any of their delicious flavors and hopefully make Toby stop doing this voice. That's shopflavcity.com.
Well, the big game was yesterday, and for a while there, it looked like Neil and I were going to score as many points as the entire Patriots offense. Eventually, the Seahawks prevailed, making Sam Darnold the first ginger quarterback to win a Super Bowl in league history. I made that stat up, but it feels right. As for the rest of the spectacle, Bad Bunny did his thing during halftime, bringing out Lady Gaga for a surprise appearance. In addition to some cameos from Alex Earl, Jessica Alba, carol g and ricky martin and a really cool set design i hummed along and yes my hips were moving the ads which cost as much as 10 million dollars for 30 seconds were dominated by ai and mr rogers anthropics ad making fun of open ais incorporation of ads seemed to have fallen flat to a wider audience but mr rogers and his unique brand of neighborliness were invoked in both an nfl and a rocket mortgage commercial
