I'm Mangesh Atikadur, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.

I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

Mojo in the Morning's Dirty on the 30.

We'll get you caught up on the Dirty on the 30 in a second here. The War of the Roses. Boston, a cheater. She is worried that he's cheating. Her boyfriend is cheating with her roommate and best friend. We do a three-way call. War of the Roses. That's where we call each of them at the same time to see how they talk to each other. And you will hear everything coming up right after this dirty. What's up, Shannon?

The Super Bowl reached its biggest audience ever. Really? For the second year. It's all Tom Brady. An average of 126 million viewers watched Philly take on Casey. And according to Fox, viewership peaked during the second quarter of the game, which makes sense to me, with an average of 135.7 million people watching.

How was the halftime thing? because the halftime thing, these halftime performance, because a lot of people are wondering how the Kendrick Lamar thing would have done for all the audiences. And I would love to know the ratings on halftime. I would bet that the—

126 mil.

So it's similar, yeah. They said it's the same. So to me, the thing will be to see if— and I heard this yesterday. I actually was listening to a guy on one of the news stations, one of the big cable news stations, talking about how Apple Music has purchased this for so much money. The NFL doesn't care what kind of ratings that the halftime performances get, that now it's getting to a point where the artists aren't getting paid. They've never gotten paid for halftime. They need this halftime for themselves. So the labels and the artists are coming together and they are paying the NFL and Apple Music so much money for the ability to be able to perform that we might see new breakout artists do. They said that's what they're saying. They say that if they have if there's a breakout artist and when I mean a breakout artist and an artist that's just coming up like a Tate McCray who is on the cusp of Chapel Rhone or Chapel Rhone that that might be a situation where you might see them doing. the super bowl where they normally would never do it because not everybody knows them yet maybe you know a bunch of people do because they're hot don't you think that would backfire though look what they did with kendrick i mean you know you are famous no but kendrick but kendrick lamar was a lot of people didn't think a lot of people thought lil wayne should have done this thing because lil wayne's been around a lot longer and he's from new orleans and honestly what it does

apple music is trying to get streams so what does that mean for the rock nation partnership because They're the ones that are supposed to be like executive director. They produce it, yeah.

I think that he's getting a huge piece of the deal. He says he doesn't just pick his artists, obviously. He and Jay-Z. Jay-Z. But they say that Rock Nation's getting paid the big bucks to produce it.

I feel like it would be so cool if our company, if iHeartMedia, did like a variation of what we do at the festival in Vegas every year and have like a bunch of- Three or four artists? Yeah, like three, four, five artists and they do like two songs, the stage switches.

They did that before, though.

But if iHeart did it, honestly, that would be very, very cool how it is produced.

Back maybe 10, 12 years ago, they used to do that where you'd have multiple artists go up there and perform. I think it was like Bruno Mars. Beyonce.

Because then there's something for everybody.

Yeah.

You know what I mean? There's a country. There's a rap. There's a pop. there's a i think that would be cool whatever like a like the the uh uh you know award shows

do yes yeah yes but the show's so short already like just give me the hits from somebody yeah

you know what i'm saying 13 minutes yeah i think the players are the ones that kind of struggle with this because that's a long halftime i mean that's a long what they're used to yeah so they're sitting in that locker room forever going what the hell all right let's talk about the commercials

that drew the most viewers this doesn't have anything to do with popularity this is a this This is Variety did this. So I'm thinking this is like where the placement was in terms of the bulk of people watching the Booking.com commercial starring Kermit. Miss Piggy, friends, came in at number one. Rams, Goldilocks, and the Three Trucks commercial featuring the very hot Glenn Powell, number two. Also on this list, the Google Dream Job, Yahoo.com with Bill Murray. Marvel's Thunderbolts trailer on here. Nerd Wallets, that genius beluga ad. DoorDash with Nate Bargetsy. a Doritos commercial and then the Squarespace one. No Seal? The Bud Light with Post Malone, was it on there? No, but the Bud Light one featuring Peyton Manning, Shane Gillison. Oh, yes. Sorry, and Post Malone. Yep. I like that

Seal commercial, man. That was my favorite.

And lastly, Kanye West aired a Yeezy.com commercial during the Super Bowl. I don't think, I wasn't watching the commercials at the party that I was at, but I know it was shown in only select markets, but it was super low budget. It was shot on an iPhone and it had Kanye sitting in what appears to be like a dentist chair. Well, following the airing of that ad, Kanye immediately flipped Yeezy.com, replacing all of its previous content with just one item, a swastika t-shirt for sale for $20. And up until the ad actually ran, Yeezy.com featured a Shopify powered store selection of all sorts of non-branded items, shirts, pants, jackets, whatever, nothing that would have ever been deemed an issue or a content issue. But then, so when the ad first ran, this t-shirt I'm talking about was not there, but within an hour of it airing, Ye made the switch. And if you went to the site, you saw just that $20 swastika shirt. And so people are saying the ad went through legal approval it got the green light and moved forward because there was no issue with the 30 second spot itself it was the content that appeared right after the ad aired and it did run on three fox owned stations including kttv la and then they're saying a bunch of other random local markets so i know i saw it online yesterday morning but i didn't know if we actually saw it on TV during the Super Bowl. Insane.

Yeah. The shirt's still up there, too.

Insane. Yeah.
