This week, your hosts discuss the "American version of the Late Late Toy Show" aka the Super Bowl! Whether you're a fan of American football or not, the Super Bowl is watched by millions globally be it for the sport, the halftime fact or the ads. 

Andy starts off with a history of Super Bowl advertisements and how they became of affluent today.  Did you know that Apple was the first company to open the door to the now multi-million dollar event? And it almost didn't make the cut!

Speaking of not making the cut... Yasmeen explains the painstaking creation of the famous Old Spice 'I'm on a horse' ad which didn't air during the Super Bowl but still became one of the most well-known Super Bowl ads. 

Gemma gears herself up to dismantle the more painful and controversial ads, subjecting poor Andy and Yasmeen to a string of rants around feminism and Western consumption.
