What is the main theme of today's Big Suey episode?

Dan Le Batard 0:49
Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.

How did Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show impact America?

Dan Le Batard 1:24
Do you know how giant a sports day has to be for it to just sort of swallow? Yeah, Aaron Rodgers isn't going to be a Jet anymore. And Debo has asked for a trade out of San Francisco. The news just shrinks in the face of what this giant American celebration is that has everybody feeling a touch hungover today. It is weird. And honestly, it is where sports does a pretty good job of connecting people, even if they're divided. The idea that America still gathers around the television for a thing and that that thing meets expectations which are giant, meets giant expectations, even if the game's not any good. The game isn't exactly incidental because of the importance of crowning a champion in that particular sport, but... seeing what it is that America does in terms of celebrating the punctuation on a game it associates with more than any of the others and having in the middle of it Because they did take out of the end zone.
Dan Le Batard 2:39
I won't forget this part as everything changes in America over the last four years. And you've seen the backlash and the backlash to everything that happened post-George Floyd, including all of these giant corporations running away, hiding, scared of the president of the United States. To see Kendrick Lamar as the halftime show when you know some of this story, right? Jay-Z feels like he was purchased during this to be the halftime entertainment. And a lot of people were critical of a lot of different things that didn't change about football when Jay-Z was put in charge of that show.
Mike 3:16
And now the way you're going to have to clarify the purchase thing, like he is a partner of the NFL.
Dan Le Batard 3:22
No, I'm saying that Jay-Z got a lot of criticism for going in and doing business at that particular time. And it could look like he was being used, whether he knew it or not, in order to be a halftime symbol for here. We're going to give actual power to people. And over the halftime show, you will see that power displayed by Jay-Z with the artists that he chooses.
Jessica 3:43
Yeah, but without Jay-Z making that deal, you wouldn't have had Kendrick yesterday. And you wouldn't have had the halftime show in L.A. a couple years ago. You wouldn't have had Rihanna a couple years ago. Would we have had Maroon 5? Probably. We would have had Maroon 5, more than likely.
Dan Le Batard 3:59
I think you're assuming that I'm entering this critically. I am not. The halftime show as a celebration becomes a success story in the middle of the commerce of it. I don't believe Kendrick is paid for that. I believe this is such a uniquely American giant thing that I believe all the artists get is a production budget, and what Kendrick Lamar did with that production budget was put together an amazing show, but also... In the middle of the celebration.
Jessica 4:29
Bought a lot of carpet, I can tell that.
Dan Le Batard 4:30
A spectacularly black show as well. Like in the middle of the halftime celebration where it is that the seismic moment in the middle of it is you're waiting to see whether this Grammy winning artist who's won the rap beef for all time and making Drake the biggest loser there's ever been in a rap beef. In the middle of it, he's got Serena Williams crip walking.
