I don't think the U.S. could talk about being dated, the style and everything
in Canada.
The U.S. is the best place.
I was going to say about the halftime show, I thought it was bad, but whatever,
you enjoyed
it, whatever.
I like the songs.
Alright.
It's that, not just the halftime show, but then all the commercials I see,
there's references
to Friends and fucking Ben Affleck.
That would be insane.
What the fuck?
There's this shit where it's like, I could not tell the difference between this
Super
Bowl and Super Bowl XXXIII.
You know?
It's like, has culture just frozen?
Is it locked?
I think all commercials are like you get two random celebrities, you get like
Schitt's Creek
gay guy, and then-
Now listen to what I'm saying.
It's that-
I hear you exactly, and I agree.
It's that all of these cultural references are incredibly dated.
Right.
Well, think about why they're doing this.
You know what they showed also at the Super Bowl commercials?
They're redoing Twister.
Really?
Really?
Yeah, they are.
We're not even making a new idea.
One of the celebrity commercials, they have Kid and Play.
It's fucking Kid and Play event, and they're like-
That's 40 years ago.
I mean-
How far is 40 years ago?
It's like, is it 23-year-olds being like, "Oh, oh shit, fucking EPNB?"
But you know what it is?
People watching TV are that.
Yeah.
Because all young people, they're not watching TV.
Yeah, but it's the Super Bowl.
So the Super Bowl ads for people watching, I think most- they're catering to
people that
are 30 years old, who just want to see the same thing over and over instead of
making the whole thing.
No, no, no.
People with purchasing power, too.
Yeah, all of the culturally relevant stuff was in this Taylor Swift skybox.
Literally.
Yes.
Exactly.
You know, it's just they cannot make a new thing for love and money.
It's just, it's now, it's just an equation of you need this and action and the,
you know,
and the stories are so bad.
It's all for kids.
Every superhero movie that they have, I mean, superhero movies are for kids.
I'm over comic books.
I mean, it's just, it's insane.
It's insane.
You know what's the good thing about Gabby?
Is that she didn't hear nothing about-
Her girlfriend, her girlfriend.
Yeah, she didn't hear nothing bad about Woody Allen.
She doesn't, she was kind of under the rock with that.
She wasn't, so we're, I was texting you, what are the good movies?
And we're watching movies again and it feels amazing.
I just, I just showed her private parts.
Howard Stern's movie.
I love that movie so much.
Incredible movie.
But we are not making narrative movies anymore.
Like cheap, good movies.
But they have to spend $150 million to make a crap movie.
And still the movie's crap.
After, but morons in the middle of America.
That's why when you talk about taste and style and whatever, you go to Canada,
fine.
You went for three days and you didn't, you know, you weren't immersed.
Fine.
But the majority of this country, I guess, is going to see-
Yeah, but, but hold on.
That's-
A comic book.
That's always been true.
That's always been true.
And it's like-
You think it's always been true?
Spider-Man 6?
When we were kids, it wasn't always true that we remade the same movie.
So you're saying that middle America somehow got rapidly dumber since the
advent of the internet?
Yeah, maybe they were, maybe they knew that they couldn't ask for more.
No, the business changed too.
I just mean that there's nothing really like, but that's what I mean.
It's like, Marvel shit does exist.
Cause it makes money.
Yeah.
But I'm not like, during the Super Bowl, you're not seeing like, oh, here's
like whoever
plays Miles Morales.
Yeah.
It's like, we need Ross and Rachel from Friends for a Visa commercial.
And it's like, these, they're, they look old.
They look terrible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They look fucking old.
And the other, the other faction of the, of the Super Bowl commercials had this
religious
element.
Oh, there was Jesus.
I thought it was a Dr. Scholl's.
There was a ton of Jesus.
I thought it was a Dr. Scholl's commercial.
They were washing the feet, washing the feet.
He didn't see the first half.
There was like, there was like a Jesus loves gay people ad.
And it was like a, just some like a dad from like Ohio washing like a, just
like a, like
a super gay guy's feet.
And then it just said Jesus at the end.
Yeah.
It was all these images of people washing people's feet, which I thought would
be great for Dr.
Scholl's.
It says he gets us.
I would think it's Dr. Scholl's, you know, who I imagine is a Jew.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You know, podiatrist of some kind.
I don't know.
Dr. Scholl's.
That's not a real doctor though.
Podiatrist.
Well, whatever.
You know what I mean?
And then it says it was about Jesus.
Jesus didn't hate.
He washed feet.
I'm like, maybe he washed feet a couple of times.
He's a freak.
I wouldn't say that he was sitting there scrubbing down like at the, you know,
at the
manicure place.
He washed, he said you wash a neighbor's foot, but he was mostly a carpenter.
I have to imagine he wasn't washing feet every single day like the commercial.
