Show Notes

This year’s Super Bowl halftime show was a total disaster for the NFL. The numbers are in and the ratings crashed, probably because the performer — a Puerto Rican rapper named Bad Bunny — sang in a language most of the NFL’s actual viewers don't even speak. For the English speakers who did watch, it’s good they didn’t understand: the lyrics were completely degenerate and family unfriendly. And as you might expect, the absurd display provoked a lot of reactions.
