00:00Next year, America will get what it wants.
00:04Do you know that the Monday after the Super Bowl next year is a national holiday?
00:12What is it?
00:13President's Day.
00:14Oh, it's moved back a week.
00:16So President's Day next year will fall on the day after the Super Bowl.
00:23Valentine's Day also falls on the Super Bowl next year.
00:27Oh, that's going to ruin some relationships.
00:32So next year, you celebrate Valentine's Day on Super Bowl Sunday.
00:39And the next day, you make some late night whoopee.
00:44You don't have to go to work the next day.
00:46Next day is a national holiday.
00:49But, Hawk, there's going to be the question from the wonderful ladies of our lives,
00:54is the Super Bowl or me more important?
00:58The Super Bowl is more important.
01:01You're there every day of the year.
01:03The Super Bowl is there one day of the year.
01:06I don't have a billion props that I can wager on you.
01:11Don't take this.
01:12This is terrible advice.
01:16Are we going to dinner?
01:17No, it's Super Bowl Sunday.
01:18Hawk, the only prop, no, is a heavy favorite.
01:21Plus 20,000.
01:27Trust me.
01:28My wife will be thrilled that the Super Bowl, that way she doesn't have to worry about gross 56-year-old
01:36Hawkman and mitts looking for action.
01:40Come on, shaking that leg.
01:42I'm full from my charcuterie.
01:46I don't need any charcuterie.
01:48I'm full on the charcuterie.
01:52You need some action.
01:53My friend, Unfunny Lewis, my best friend, Unfunny Lewis, everybody knows him.
01:59He is Puerto Rican.
02:00Took issue in the last segment with me suggesting that those were cornfields, which I knew, by
02:08the way, that they weren't, but it took issue with me suggesting that Bad Bunny was prancing
02:12around cornfields, a la Field of Dreams.
02:16Lewis wanted to point out for the record, those were sugarcane, an homage to the gibaritos
02:22in Puerto Rico working it.
02:26And he said, don't make me get on my airplane and come over there right now.
02:30Lewis, I don't know if you were listening last week because we were trying to figure out
02:34who are some Puerto Rican stars who Bad Bunny could bring out as special guests.
02:40And I jokingly said, Ricky Martin and Unfunny Lewis.
02:45I hit on one of those.
02:49Amazing.
02:50And Lady Gaga.
02:52And Lady Gaga, famous Hispanic crooner, Lady Gaga.
02:58Or, as I like to say.
03:00That's a lot of look at me straight in the eyes.
03:04I like to say, Mujer Gaga.
03:06Mujer Gaga.
03:10I actually watched a lot of that stuff he did was like the, what do they call them?
03:16The Easter eggs?
03:17Yes.
03:18Yes.
03:18There was a lot of stuff in there.
03:19And you know, I can never figure out the Easter eggs and the deep meaning behind things.
03:25Like, you know me, I am so on the level of everything.
03:28I can't dig deep.
03:29And Solana explained to me, Brittany's here, who's Cuban.
03:32She explained to me a lot of it.
03:34Solana explained to me a lot of it in the first break of everything that was going on.
03:37And I was like, oh, well, I didn't talk.
03:40I knew they were the cornfields.
03:41But I didn't know all the stuff he put in there, which was, which was crazy.
03:47I sent Unfunny Lewis back a gif of shoeless Joe Jackson walking out of the cornfields.
03:53And I said, this is live video of last night's halftime show.
03:57It wasn't exactly the apology or retraction he was looking for.
04:00The people that were dressed as bushes, they stayed bushes.
04:05Yeah.
04:05I thought they were going to dance.
04:07That's what I thought.
04:08Because when they went to commercial break, you saw one move.
04:11And I said to Lori, oh, those bushes are going to come to life.
04:15But they actually, I guess the most judicious way to get all the shrubbery out there, $8 million, I was told he spent on shrubbery.
04:24The easiest way was just to have the shrubs run into place.
04:28And then when it was over, run back.
04:30They said, I saw something, you know, I laugh about it.
04:33Oh, it was on the internet.
04:34It's real.
04:34They said each one of them bushes got paid $1,100 to be a bush.
04:38Yeah, I saw that too.
04:39Because they were getting paid, I think, $27 an hour.
04:42And they had a whole week's worth of rehearsals.
04:46I was in San Francisco.
04:48I could have been the big bush.
04:50Imagine if you weren't good enough to get the job, though.
04:53Like you're there for three days, and they're like, listen, it's just not working out.
05:00Hey, Roger, you look a little weak on the left hand.
05:04You're going to have to leaf.
05:07Huh?
05:09Or make like a tree and leave.
05:12What did you say, Jimmy?
05:13I'm sorry.
05:14Make like a tree and leave.
05:15Make like a tree and leave.
05:18I would say, if anybody complained about the performance, I didn't even know Bad Bunny was singing.
05:24His entourage was an especial entourage.
05:25Listen, I thought it was theatrically fun.
05:29But that, like for me, the performance I like at a Super Bowl is anthemic singing.
05:35It is Prince in the middle of a stage, and he is wailing on the guitar, and you're watching a concert.
05:43That's, again, but this is my age and my style of music.
05:46Not everything's for every person.
05:47I thought theatrically, I thought like visually it was stunning.
05:50I thought the colors were great.
05:52I thought the imagery was really good.
05:54But I'm like into anthemic singing where it takes over the entire crowd and everyone, you know, like Bon Jovi and everyone singing the lines together and whatever.
06:06And obviously that I couldn't do with this.
06:09Yeah, Hawk, I always think back to like my favorite Super Bowl halftime show, Paul McCartney singing Hey Jude.
06:15Because my mom was this massive Beatles fan.
06:18That was always her and I's, like, band that I grew up.
06:22She always played the Beatles.
06:23And the entire stadium singing Hey Jude at the end with Paul McCartney is epic.
06:30You know, Prince, when he's playing and the water's falling and he's playing purple rain like that.
06:37I understand why.
06:39I believe it's called rain, by the way.
06:40It wasn't water falling.
06:41We call it rain in this country.
06:43You say the water's coming down outside?
06:47The water's falling.
06:47It wasn't rain.
06:48Bring on, brother.
06:49The water's coming down.
06:51They were splashing water over the place.
06:55I understand why, Hawk, you don't listen to Bad Bunny's music.
06:59Why?
07:00That didn't speak to you yesterday.
07:01Like, it makes sense to me.
07:03I would tell the crowd or I get it.
07:04I, I, but, but again, I do like, like, again, I'm going to say anthemic singing and it's going to get annoying because I keep saying that.
07:10But even like the weekend fell flat for me because all he did was go through a mirror maze.
07:14It wasn't like him, you know, rocking the house.
07:18Um, so like that, that just, it was my thing.
07:21In fact, Kendrick Lamar last year, I didn't think it was great.
07:24Like I knew the one song and that one song where the entire, uh, crowd is, you know, singing along with pedophile.
07:33Like that was a moment, but yeah, for me, it just wasn't like, it just wasn't what I normally would watch.
07:41Yeah.
07:42And I, you know what I've said, do you bring up Paul McCartney?
07:44Don't know what he looks like.
07:46And you too.
07:47And all that.
07:47I knew Prince.
07:48So like, what, what about 50 cent hanging upside down with the fat belly?
07:53I was thinking about that.
07:55I actually liked that.
07:56I thought that show was cool.
07:58Yeah.
07:59And it's cool.
07:59And it's visually cool.
08:00But like you're saying that, that, that angelic or just seeing somebody's pure talent.
08:05That's what Prince did.
08:07That's what Paul McCartney I'm gathering did like to see somebody really sing and play a guitar, but you can't have the same thing every year.
08:14I didn't know what the hell bad bunny was saying.
08:17I don't speak a lick of damn Spanish, even though my wife's Cuban, but I know he was going off.
08:22And I know anybody that knew it was wide open in the crowd.
08:24And when he was on top of that damn white box with them girls dancing around him in a circle, I knew something big was coming.
08:31And when they started shooting the fireworks, I got excited.
08:34Didn't know a damn word going on.
08:35I don't need the, the nuance of what's going on.
08:40I know when a party's happening and I was in the middle of a party.
08:43That's, that's what I loved about it.
08:45It was a party.
08:45I do want it to feel like a party.
08:47Like here's the weird thing.
08:50After watching that, I would probably go see him in concert because it looks like an event.
08:56It looks like a party you'd want to be at.
08:59Like it looks like, and again, it's nothing that I can sing along with because I don't listen to his music.
09:05I didn't recognize one song except when they started playing Gasolina, which is somebody else's song.
09:11Which by the way, the entire party I was at said, Oh my God, daddy Yankees coming.
09:16That's what I said.
09:18That's what I thought too.
09:19That's what I thought.
09:20And then, you know, it wasn't daddy Yankee.
09:23And then I saw Lady Gaga and I'm like, all right, here we go.
09:26Poker face.
09:34Instead, she's singing her song with Bruno Mars, die with a smile, which I guess it was their way of saying here, white America.
09:44Here's a song you might know.
09:45But it had like the Latin salsa twist on it.
09:49But Hawk, I'll tell you honestly, when he sang Baile Inolvidable, which was a song I told you I thought he was going to end with, which is from his newest album, with Lady Gaga dancing to that song with Lady Gaga, bro, I had chills watching that.
10:04But again, I get it.
10:06Like that was for me.
10:07I'm just talking like musically where I can pump my fist and sing along.
10:11I couldn't do that, but it was a party like visually, I thought it was stunning.
10:16Like I, again, I thought it was a thousand times better than the weekend.
10:20I mean, if you remember Maroon five, a few years ago, I mean, there was straight up garbage.
10:27Um, yeah, it was, uh, Katie Perry, Katie Perry, all anybody remembers from the shark halftime shows, the shark, left shark, left shark.
10:34Yeah.
10:35Yeah.
10:36So I don't know.
10:36I thought it was cool.
10:37I thought it was big enough for the Superbowl.
10:39I wasn't certain that Kendrick Lamar was big enough for the Superbowl.
10:44Bad Bunny is the best selling musician in the world.
10:49That's why the choice of him never should have been controversial because the Superbowl brings
10:56in the biggest musicians in the world.
11:00And like, that's the, that's the definition of a Superbowl performer, which is why I took
11:05a little issue with Kendrick Lamar last year, or even Maroon five, like they were on top
11:10of the world, but they weren't big, uh, uh, uh, bad bunny level.
11:14You know what I mean?
11:15They talked about it.
11:16We know it was political with all the, the, the Hispanics and the ice stuff and all the
11:22crap going on.
11:22So it got very political.
11:23It was already announced, you know, not before that, but Kendrick Lamar is nowhere close to
11:29as famous as bad bunny.
11:30I saw that they talked about it during what he said, 19 billion downloads or something last
11:35year.
11:36It's crazy.
11:37Yeah.
11:37Come on, man.
11:37That's what you want to do.
11:38It's a, it's a worldwide thing.
11:41Yep.
11:41But when I saw a, a, a, a muscle bound 50 year old Hispanic, I thought he was a boxer.
11:47My wife had to tell me that's Ricky Martin.
11:49I was like, why is he strong as hell?
11:54How does he have an Instagram filter in real life?
11:58There's no way his face can look like that.
12:00He looks like he's 31 years old.
12:03I think it might've been some shots put in there.
12:06I mean, that was great.
12:08I'm doing a double take.
12:09I'm looking and I'm like, is that Ricky?
12:12Cause my wife goes, who is that?
12:13I go, is that Ricky Martin?
12:14It can't be.
12:15It's him.
12:15How old is he?
12:16I got to look that up.
12:17Oh, he's 50 something.
12:19I actually, Asia was like, that's Ricky Martin.
12:21I said, no, that's a boxer.
12:23She was like, that's 54.
12:2554.
12:26Bro.
12:26That's, that's not a 54 year old face.
12:28That's a 31 year old man filter.
12:30Like I, like somehow he's just got a filter in real life.
12:34For the record.
12:36Wood.
12:37You got wood.
12:38He had no belt on.
12:42No, Jimmy.
12:43See.
12:43Oh, no.
12:45See.
12:47He had that little tight button up shirt with no belt.
12:51Who liked the no belt pants?
12:53Nick Saban used to wear no belt pants and it looked weird to me.
12:57Let's, uh, let's get headlines here for the three o'clock hour brought to you by Darrell
13:01Hyundai, home of the priceito, our lowest price.
13:04Visit them at Darrell Hyundai or Darrell Hyundai.com.
13:06And if you guys noticed at one point, he brought out the casita.
13:10It was like the little house.
13:11He was dancing on top of it.
13:12And then there were several people.
13:14There were dancers, actually part of the performance dancing.
13:17Um, but behind that underneath the house, it was like the, the pink house.
13:22There were several celebrities.
13:24Did any of you guys catch?
13:25Like, um, Jessica Alba was there.
13:28Pedro Pascal was there.
13:30Cardi B was there.
13:32Oh, Grutman was there.
13:33Grutman was there.
13:34Well, they have the, the, the restaurant here.
13:36Like Bad Bunny's restaurant was there.
13:39Carol G.
13:40A lot of people, the Colombian.
13:41A lot of people thought she was going to be one of the special guests.
13:43Yeah.
13:44I think Acuna was on there too.
13:46The baseball player.
13:46Ronald Acuna was there?
13:47Yeah.
13:48I thought you said Mike Cuno.
13:50That would be funny too.
13:52Eating oatmeal.
13:54Y'all just want to overshadow his dancers, right?
13:57Man, listen, you didn't like the way that halftime show started.
14:02You didn't see the first, like they're wading through all the girls dancing just to get to
14:08him.
14:08I'm like, holy mackerel.
14:09This is a party.
14:11He can stay in the back.
14:12All I can sing from the back.
14:14That's what I kept saying.
14:15I can stop showing him.
14:17Get back to that party.
14:20The, as you mentioned, there's a lot of Easter eggs.
14:23I don't want to get through all of them, but there was one that I did want to point out.
14:27The kid sleeping on the three chairs that he goes to wake up.
14:31Did any of you catch that?
14:32It's like three party chairs that you would see at like a bar mitzvah hawk.
14:35The kid was sleeping.
14:36It's in the middle of the party.
14:37When I tell you that is the most Latino thing ever.
14:41It was like, but everybody else was like, Oh, the kid's sleeping on the chairs during
14:46the party.
14:47It was just so effing bad-ass that he did that, man.
14:50Just so bad-ass.
14:51One thousand percent.
14:53The, uh, the bartender, the older lady bartender is a famous lady.
15:00Yeah.
15:00Tonita.
15:01So she's the owner of the Caribbean social club.
15:04I believe it's called the in New York city.
15:06I don't know if it's in like Brooklyn or wherever it is, Brooklyn, but it's, it's a Puerto Rican
15:11club.
15:13And she's the owner of the club.
15:14And I believe she was like one of the first Puerto Rican club owners in the United States.
15:20Um, and he brought her there to serve him.
15:22That was really cool.
15:24And they've been trying to kick her out of the area cause it's gentrifying and they're
15:28trying to kick her out of her little bodega or whatever you call it a little windows.
15:32Uh, ventanita, ventanitas.
15:34They're trying to take it from me and she won't sell no matter how much money they give
15:37her.
15:38It's a, I read about it as well.
15:39I didn't know what the hell was going on.
15:41I'm looking at the girls in Brown.
15:42I'm not going to lie.
15:43But now I see exactly what was going on.
15:45It was a lot of, a lot of little Easter eggs in there.
15:48Jimmy, what'd your dad think of the turning point?
15:51Uh, who had my way to buy a first song?
16:01Did win.
16:03That was the heavy favorite.
16:05Did win the, uh, the best.
