Bad Bunny just pulled 128 million viewers—but why did the actual Super Bowl feel… boring? In this episode of Raised by Her, we break down the cultural shift behind the 2026 Super Bowl and why Bad Bunny’s “Benito Bowl” moment dominated the conversation.

We also get into the power of multiculturalism in entertainment, the surprising resurgence of the Milan Winter Olympics, and the wild differences in Olympic medal payouts (Hong Kong vs. USA). Then we switch gears into wellness—what’s actually “self-care,” what’s just suffering—and why our latest detox experience felt straight-up traumatizing.

Plus: Cardi B’s “plastic bag” hair-care moment, Black hair rituals, and why Gen Z is ditching driver’s licenses—and what that signals about adulthood, freedom, and the future.

In this episode, we cover:

• The “Benito Bowl” effect and why the game felt flat
• Hidden messaging + storytelling in the halftime show
• Winter Olympics viewership, medal drama, and payout gaps
• Infrared saunas, colonics, and the wellness industry reality check
• Cardi B, hair-care culture, and authenticity in branding
• Gen Z and the decline of driving as a rite of passage
