    Album 8 Track 4 - What's Poppin? Super Bowl LX: Bangers, Busts, and Takeaway Tim

    The Brand Nerds are back (with a special guest that you are familiar with) for the ultimate ad showdown! In this special Super Bowl LX edition of Brands, Beats and Bytes, hosts Darryl "DC" Cobbin and Larry Taman are joined by media veteran Tim Spengler.

    Dubbed "Takeaway Tim" for the episode, Spengler helps DC and LT break down the $1.8 billion day for NBC and the $7-8 million price tags for 30-second spots. The trio dives deep into the major themes of Super Bowl LX, including the overwhelming presence of AI ("Everything, Everywhere, All At Once") and the reliance on "small tactics" over big brand building.

    From emotional harvests to celebrity-stuffed sitcom spoofs, the group debates the night’s biggest winners and losers. Whether you are a marketing pro or just watch for the commercials, tune in to find out which brands mastered the moment and which ones fumbled the ball.
