About this episode

The big game didn’t live up to the big billing, but there was plenty to take in during commercial breaks and halftime.


(00:14) David Meier and Dylan Lewis discuss:


- HIMS taking a big swing at the weight-loss industry, trying to seize a tight window for acquiring customers that want GLP-1 drugs and shift public opinion on them.

- Dunkin’ and Starbucks taking very different approaches for morning coffee drinkers.

- McDonald’s lackluster Super Bowl ad and earnings results.
