What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We've got a problem here, Lane. What's that?
What is the significance of Betcha's Super Bowl party?
Well, of course, today we have Betcha's biggest Super Bowl party. Biggest Super Bowl party ever, actually, at the Takapuna Surf Club. What a day it is. We're currently on deck, on site, at the Takapuna Surf Club. But the problem we have is it is a real day to have a sesh, isn't it?
Well, yeah, it is a beautiful day out on the rooftop. There's about 300-odd Lizzies are going to join us here from midday.
Not to be confused with the Lizzies.
No, Lizzies, L-I. It is dangerous, actually, because, look, listen, I freely admit that the grand final of the Super Bowl is... is my one time I dipped my toes into the NFL season. And for a lot of New Zealanders, it's the same.
Yeah, I'm not too dissimilar, yeah.
And I'll tell you what, I don't really know what's going on most of the time, but I'm here for the halftime entertainment. Bad Bunny, huge fan. You're a massive Bad Bunny guy. Huge fan of Bad Bunny. Been following him since he was a youngster.
What's your favourite song from him again?
His first one?
Yeah.
That one. That is a good one. Apparently the first halftime Super Bowl show that will be fully in Spanish. Yes, well, I mean, as you can imagine. 60% of America absolutely hating the idea of that. Oh, yeah. That's right.
Can I imagine there'll be some people here as well going, what the fuck is this? Have you heard Kid Rock?
Oh, I love Kid Rock. Kid Rock is doing his own all-American halftime show.
Is he the guy that does the, and we were smoking funny things, making love, da-da-da-da-da. I don't know. Sing a sweet home.
Who sings that? I think, I don't know. I think he did the remix of that one. Yeah, okay. But Kid Rock, huge Trump fan.
How do the hosts feel about the Super Bowl halftime show?
Yep. Huge redneck. Which means? He's doing his rival show, so instead of watching Bad Bunny, you can flip over to some other network, I believe, who's carrying his own one.
Well, fuck that, because here at the Takapuna Surf Club, we have got the full American... Well, actually, no, that makes it sound like we're going to be switching over to Kid Rock. We've got the American stream of this. We're currently watching the pre-game.
So we get all the – the big thing about Super Bowl is you get – the halftime is famous for its halftime ads. However, all throughout the Super Bowl are other ads as well that can't afford the halftime show but are just as good. It's a relentless spectacle, isn't it? That's so good. I mean, I'm here for the ads and Bad Bunny.
As we were setting up before, we were just getting reminded how these pills might give you diarrhoea, nausea and some family domestic issues. Why are all the American ads so focused on telling you for about 15 seconds what's wrong with the drug that they're promoting?
No, that's part of marketing pharmaceuticals in America. Is that Big Pharma? Big Pharma. You have to detail any sort of side effects that could potentially happen. So you've got... Pretty much slapped in your face, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Yeah, but geez, they're good for weight loss, those pills. Oh, they are superb for weight loss. I can't help but notice as well, we both implemented a similar tactic this morning of driving to work thinking this is just another day at work. Already I've created too much admin for myself because I've already put some plans in place to now go back on that plan. Oh, yeah, okay. Loz is dropping the car back at halftime.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Got Ubers coming later, that kind of thing. So why do we always do that? Why do we wake up in the morning and go, today's not the day?
Well, after a big long weekend as well. Yeah. It's like, look, I'm just going to pump the brakes. Monday's not a great. You don't want to start the week on the back foot. Well, that's the issue that we had this morning. Super Bowl Monday, though. It only happens once a year.
And now that I'm here on the top deck looking across the Hauraki Gulf here and Rangitoto. Yeah, it's beautiful. I mean, jeez, give me a tan now. Right, let's get the show on the road. We've got quite a bit of sport to talk about. So live from the Mobile Export Garden studio at the Takapuna Surf Club, this is the agenda for Monday, the 9th of Feb.
