Summary

So a singer who routinely craps on America, who will not even tour in the United States because of ICE, and who can barely speak English, just did the Super Bowl halftime show.

0:09.5

And the internet is positively divided and everyone is losing their damn minds.

0:13.2

And on top of that, this was such a controversial and anticipated halftime performance that TPUSA even put on an alternative halftime show.

0:20.6

And so now it's not just about

0:22.2

the NFL or Bad Bunny, it's about both of them. People online are debating which show was more

0:26.8

conservative and had more traditional values and whether Bad Bunny's performance was representative

0:30.7

of America or all of the Americas. And I'm just trying to figure out what it all means because

0:35.2

none of it was in English. But that was kind of the whole point, and I will explain why.

0:40.3

But before we do, if you want behind the scenes content or add free episodes, farm vlogs, travel vlogs, all of that sort of thing,

0:45.3

all of that is over on my subscription platform, cooper confidential.com, go check it out.

0:49.3

Hold on I forgot my coffee.

0:51.3

I can't not have my coffee if I'm gonna rant about Bad Bunny. Mmm. Now I don't even know where to put it. Now we can go. Alright. Now that all of that is out of the way, let's get down to brass tacks. Now first of all, I want to offer you, just before we dive into things, before I get all ranting and my blood pressure starts to rise, I want to offer you and myself this tweet from my friend Zubi. And he said, sometimes I wonder if people are genuinely outraged by something, or just pretending to be to earn social currency within their tribe. And I wanted to read that to you because while there were certainly things to critique about bad money in this entire snafu, and the whole thing is thing is just like rife with controversy. It also, I want to remind you guys, is like this every single year with the halftime show. The outrage machine is ready to go, whether it's Rihanna or Bad Bunny or Kendrick Lamar. Meanwhile, the left in Hollywood is like locked and loaded, ready to defend and attack conservatives. Like, it happens every single year. Honestly, I'm a bit tired of it. So let's just remember that none of this is new as we dive in and we talk about everything that has transpired with our friend Benito, aka bad bunny. All right, anyway, I want to say that it is very easy for me as like a normy white American, conservative, Republican, whatever you want to say, to be like, who even is bad bunny? Nobody listens to Bad Bunny, especially, especially, when even actual NFL players in the Super Bowl did not even know who he was. Just watch. This is probably my favorite video to come out of this entire controversy. Favorite Bad Bunny song? You know nobody got one. Favorite Bad Bunny song? Oh, no, no, Bad bunny songs. Favorite bad bunny song? I have no idea.

2:18.3

Favorite bad bunny song?

2:19.3

Don't know.

2:20.3

I don't have one either.

2:21.3

Favorite bad bunny song?

2:22.3

I don't listen to Bad Bunny like that, but she got some, she got some his stuff. What is your favorite bad bunny song? All right now I'm gonna cut it right there because my favorite part of that entire video is that this player does not even know whether bad bunny is a boy or a girl

2:33.2

He's like she's got good music,

2:34.6

but I don't listen. Like, they have no clue. No matter how funny that is and how relevant it

2:39.4

feels to maybe you and me, we have to admit, unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, that Bad Bunny

2:44.0

was still the top Spotify global artist in 2020, in 2021, in 2022, and again this year in 2025. And yes, that means that he beat out Taylor

2:54.4

Swift. So when people are arguing over why the NFL and Jay-Z who runs the music for the Super Bowl,
