Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hey guys. How's it going?
So we talked about Bad Bunny's Superbowlperformance.
Yeah.
So I would like to talk about, in general, halftime shows.
Okay.
Do you see them?
Yeah.
Like, how important is it to the country?
I mean, I don't watch football.
Okay.
I'm not…
アメリカのフットボール…
Yeah, right, right.
I'm not a fan of any team.
Okay, okay.
I don't follow sports.
I don't follow football.
Yeah.
Is that normal?
Yeah, I mean, a lot of people love it.
Okay, okay.
I mean, the Superbowl is the most watched TV inAmerica.
Like 琥珀.
Yeah, I see, I see. Just like 琥珀.
Yeah, it's like 琥珀.
It's like, everyone watches it, I guess.
Nationwide.
Majority of the people, yes.
Right, so…
Yeah, it's pretty big.
Okay.
Even, like, not football fans or…?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay.
A lot of non-football fans do watch it.
But at the same time, it is because, you know, itis sports.
So people who aren't that interested just aren'tthat interested completely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like me, I'm only interested in the halftimeshow.
Okay, okay.
Like, I'm curious who's gonna be on it.
Like, I'm curious what kind of performance theydo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So you watched Superbowl halftime shows when youwere in the United States?
No, not when I was in the United States.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
In Japan?
I didn't really care about the halftime show atall.
But yeah, after when I came back to Japan, I waslike, ooh, Bruno Mars is on the halftime show.
Oh, yeah, I see, I see.
That's how I started getting into it.
I see.
Yeah, but so like in middle school, were myclassmates talking about the halftime show or theSuperbowl game?
No.
Oh, no.
Not much of a big topic.
Yeah, I mean, some people were, I guess.
Okay, okay.
But not around my friends, no.
I see, I see.
Yeah.
Okay.
In general, they have like certain team that theyare supporting?
I, well, I mean, it's only two teams.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Right?
Ultimately.
Yeah.
So like most people are like, oh, the two teamsthat I don't really care about.
They just see it because it's a final.
Yeah, right.
It's a big game.
Right, yeah.
I see, I see.
Yeah.
Because I've heard like the seats, one ticket forthe Superbowl is like, I forget the price, butvery, very expensive.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I can imagine.
Yeah, it's probably a big, yeah, biggest event.
03:02
Yeah.
But they're buying tickets for like halftimeshows, not like football games.
Oh, okay.
Is that what you heard?
Yeah.
Okay.
Like buying tickets, like halftime show ticketsfor, I don't know, like Bruno Mars, you know, BobMarley.
I see.
And then I don't know what they're doing duringthe football game.
Are they actually watching it?
I see, right.
If there are people like me who's only in it forthe musical performance, yeah, I guess the gameitself is not that interesting.
Probably just lining up for the, you know, hot dogor something.
Yeah.
Do you have any, like, favorite performances,Superbowl performances?
Well, I mean, the Bruno Mars one, the Beyonce,Bruno Mars.
Bruno Mars together one?
And Coldplay, that one.
Remember that one, how the three got together?

I like that.
Black leather things in it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How Bruno started with the drums.
Oh.
So he performed twice, right?
Oh, did he?
Yeah.
I think the first one was like drums and then theRed Hot Chili Peppers came in.
Yeah.
Red Hot Chili Peppers, you mean Coldplay?
No, no, Red Hot Chili Peppers, that was the firstone.
And the second one was like Beyonce, Bruno, Coldplay, like dancing together.
