This week on Take It Personal, we’re breaking down Super Bowl night: the game (we’ll be quick), the commercials (why they felt oddly underwhelming), and the halftime show that had us fully locked in.

We talk the big ad themes (hello crypto/AI), the spots we actually remember, and the ones that mysteriously didn’t show up. Then we go full deep-dive on Bad Bunny’s halftime performance—sugar cane symbolism, a real on-field wedding twist, surprise appearances (yes, Lady Gaga in Spanish), and the flags finale that gave actual goosebumps.

After that, we pivot to the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies: why the celebrity choices felt confusing, Shaun White’s “infomercial energy” in the booth, and the Lindsey Vonn discourse—comeback mentality, risk, crash mechanics, and why the 40+ crowd felt seen.
