The volume.

When I came out of the theater last night, I think,

0:13.5

I asked him my homeboy while we was in the theater.

0:15.3

I guess he checked his phone and was like, oh, shit, Bad Bunny got the Super Bowl.

0:18.6

Mm-hmm.

0:19.6

I thought he was lying.

0:20.4

I was like, what? It was a bad bunny. Was that surprising to you? Not that it was surprising to me, because news that came out that Taylor Swift turned it down. And Adele turned it down. Yes. So I was laughing my homeboys about that. I was like, yeah, you know, when you're a big dog, you turn down the Super Bowl. You don't need the fucking Super Bowl. Just talking shit. And the

meanwhile, the biggest dog. Well, Benito. Benito decided he was going to, what would you think Prince would be? Well, no, I mean, it was, it was, it was jokes. It was, it was just shit talking.

1:22.3

But it makes sense after he just had the residency in Puerto Rico, what he did down on the

1:27.0

island, which

1:27.9

was incredible, you know, but I didn't think that it would land on Bad Bunny after Adela and

1:34.8

Taylor Turner. He wasn't the first person I thought about, but now that he is announced as

1:39.2

the performer in the Super Bowl, it makes sense. I mean, he's one of the biggest stars in the world,

1:43.3

so. You thought right-wing football was mad at Do you? So it makes sense. I mean, he's one of the biggest stars in the world.

1:49.4
