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.

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
seemed like kindness was a theme. Other standouts were a really freaky Dunkin' Donuts spot with D-Age stars from Good Will Hunting, Friends and Cheers, Post Malone fell down a hill for Bud Light, and Coinbase literally played the karaoke lyrics to Everybody by the Backstreet Boys for their entire ad. Neil, Seattle won the game, but I'd argue the biggest winner yesterday was the broadcaster NBC.
NBC is airing the Olympics alongside the Super Bowl, meaning a lot of eyeballs and a lot of money are coming their way right now. But first things first, how did your nine-layer dip go over?

Chapter 3: What trends are emerging in the advertising industry based on Super Bowl ads?
He kind of goes by the moniker online of Fiber Daddy. His real name is Alan Lynn, where he eats the most fibrous meals you've ever seen. Disgusting. Like, I have to put it out there. His goal, he calls it fart maxing, actually, is to create so much gastrointestinal action in there that it's going to come out the other end. He's got 100,000 TikTok followers.
He also has a brand of liquid salad, which is kind of like those packets, those squeeze packets that usually have fruit in it. It's got vegetables in it, and it's supposed to aid with digestion. So this is a niche subculture, but one that I've unfortunately stumbled upon.
I have not. I have not stumbled upon. I think I would remember if I came across this guy. You also mentioned colon cancer. Well, there is scientists are investigating whether low fiber diets are among the factors that are causing this rise in colon cancer among young people. But it is alarming. health experts.
There was this 2024 report from the American Cancer Society that showed that the disease colon cancer had moved from being the fourth leading cause of cancer death in young adults to the first among men under 50 and second among women. And so I think there's just going to be a whole reawakening and fiber was big in the seventies and eighties.
You said it's associated with, with the boomers and grandparents, but I think it's certainly having a second wind now.
All right, we're going to take a quick break and come back right after this. Imagine you wake up one day and a huge solar flare adds an extra hour to each day.
