Caleb and Adriele break down the boring-til-it-wasn’t Super Bowl including a rash of ho-hum ads, a puzzling decision from Uber Eats, and, most importantly, Beyoncé. They look at a wild week in politics, including a decision in Trump’s immunity case, Republicans justifying his remarks threatening to incite Russia to attack America’s NATO allies, and a Special Counsel statement with which Biden took serious exception. And they unpack new data from Edelman, including why people now dislike innovation. Then, Caleb leads a deep dive on the feasibility and ramifications of Meta’s choice to silence political content on Threads and Instagram. [29:11] And Adriele takes a hard look at data that says three-quarters of employers are not regularly checking on staff morale. [46:51] All that, plus Australia gives workers the ‘right to disconnect’ after hours, and the Super Bowl stadium was the first to be powered by 100% renewable energy.
