And, we’re gonna get into some tech stuff. Okay. But I, I, I want to go from the tech side of the Super Bowl commercials. I, I didn’t talk about Super Bowl commercials once yesterday. Wow. Um, The biggest takeaway and ear ears, it was 7 million for an ad this year. . And the best one, I need to raise my prices.

You do? Oh my goodness. The best one I saw was the dog one where it went through the, and, and I can’t even tell you what the product was. I mean, there’s a lot of that. Yeah. People spend all this money for these you to talk about the dog commercial. Well, but you walk up to somebody on the street and go, okay, hey, what was your favorite Superbowl commercial?

And they’ll go, um, you know, kinda like the, the thing Leno used to do jaywalking. Oh, right. And it’s like, Hey, what was your favorite Super Bowl? Um, uh, the Clyde’s Dales or the Pepsi or the Doritos. It’s like, okay, there were no Clydesdale. Right. I people don’t remember the products. They don’t, they don’t. So I, I think it was a dog food farmer’s dog or something, or something like that for, uh, the dog one.

But that was, that was the best commercial I thought it was. Touching. It was just, it was, I just puppy and this girl as crazy as, as this is, and people don’t throw tomatoes at me. I did not see the game this year. You didn’t miss much. I, I watched the la I act, I will say I watched the last two minutes. Hey, if you saw the holding penalty, you saw the whole game.

All right. I did see the holding penalty. That was it. Which wasn’t that Phantom and it, but karma. It wasn’t a, and I, I, I couldn’t even hear it. I’m, I was, I was walking through a casino and and they had this, the screens on and I’m, I’m watching this and then I’m You’re in Vegas? Yes. During the Super Bowl.

Yes. Which is betting central for the the game. The game. I was in a cafeteria afterwards. Well, a little food court thing and the bets that people were talking about that they made, I’m like, you gotta be kidding me. You were the people bet on everything. Oh yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. The duration of the the Star Spangled Banner.

Yes. How long it is. Yes. The over there’s an over and under for it. There, there you can point flip, you can bet on absolutely everything. Yeah. How long the halftime performance is gonna be. Which I don’t care who’s performing. They’re all way too long. Yeah. It it play the game, play the DM game. Um, actually the winner of the whole Super Bowl was Chris Stapleton singing the national anthem.

Really? Yeah. He knocked it out of the top. Really? Yeah, absolutely. That’s fantastic. It unbelievable. I, I remember when Chris fir, cuz he’s been a songwriter forever and written some big hits and, and never had an interest in performing and the one of the record labels he was working with, uh, pushed him and say, you need to get out and perform because there’s so many great songs that we don’t get to hear.

And you’re an amazing talent and. He just didn’t want to. And, but they talked him into it and he Wow. Rest his history and Wow. Yeah. And now one of the best versions of the national anthem I’ve ever heard. I’ll have to watch that guess. Yeah. Yeah. Def definitely go back and watch it. Yeah. All right. Going back to the commercials.

Yeah. And, and, and there’s a lot of times it’s like, oh, this was a great commercial. What was the product they were selling? I don’t know, , but from the tech perspective, there were two, and we talked about this one a little bit. I can’t remember if we talked about on the air, um, the, the, so the Hyundai commercial with Kevin Bacon and that one, I, I, you and I had this discussion on the air.

We fully think that that was a Super Bowl commercial. They just rolled it out earlier because there was a little backlash in electric vehicles. And you could tell that was a great commercial for a lot of different reasons. Um, the one they rolled out at the Super Bowl not quite as good. So you could tell that was the second one.

That wasn’t the one that was planned for the Super Bowl. Right. Um, . The other one was, uh, we talked about, and I can’t remember if we talked about this on the radio, but the Dodge commercial for the Ram. Yes. And with, and they didn’t really tout it, but, oh, we’ve got this extended range and you can do this.

And th it’s like, okay, that extended range is an internal combustion engine, which is already in the truck’s. Funny. Really? But you, you can spend $120,000 on this EV Dodge Ram and get this extended range feature, it’s called extended range. You can get extended range for an upgrade for an upcharge. You can spend more money and get, what is this?

Range extender? A small little generator, internal combustion engine powered by fuel that charges your battery . Which, okay, we kind of have that now and. Actually should be the route that we go. Right? And, and, but you take a look at what, not to get political, but where the government is gone with the subsidies, they went down the road of, oh no, no, no.

Hybrid’s bad because there’s this, we need to get rid of all fossil fuels or traditional energy sources. Right? They’re just bad. Not a hybrid, but we need to get rid of ’em. Yeah. So they subsidized to get rid of them not being ready for that world and what that world looks like. But let’s fit the narrative.

God bless Toyota. Toyota is the only one that stayed the course. Didn’t get sucked into the free money, didn’t get sucked into the marketing. They’re like, Nope. Our future is hybrids. Toyota is, is the only one that just stayed that course. Right. Very truly. Right. And, and look at the products they’ve got out with.

That legitimately fit into the marketplace, legitimately fit into people’s lifestyles. Legitimately have range. It’s the best of both worlds, which is the way it should be. Do you, so I’ve been in a couple Prius’s. I am, I haven’t been in a lot though. I will say, okay, don’t get me start on Prius, but that’s different.

Yeah. I mean, but do they, they have other hybrids as well. Oh yeah. I didn’t know this. Yeah, the Rav four s and their really Highlanders and Yeah, the whole, well, if they’re Rav four s and things do,
