  Speaker 1: and I bring up the Super Bowl because you brought

  Speaker 1: up a great point, Christine. Usually by now we're hearing

  Speaker 1: who might be doing the Super Bowl halftime show in February,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: but we're not hearing much.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I know. Usually by the end of September and clocks ticking,

  Speaker 2: we're almost there. We just have tomorrow. And so far,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: no word. ESPN has said the broadcast rights to Super

• 0:39
  Speaker 2: we don't know when as to who the performers are

  Speaker 2: There's also money on Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: or Taylor Swift.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like Bruno should be in there. Like Bruno Mars.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I know he did it like 12 years ago. In fact,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: he did the one here at MetLife in 2014.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: But he's so hot again.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I know. He's so good.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And he has so many hits.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Anybody off the top of your head that you can
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: think of? Like Sabrina makes sense. Going back to Sabrina,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you mentioned that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Madonna, she crushed it at the VMAs. You know, Artist
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of the Year. She's still on fire. How about Madonna?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And she did it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Recently.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Not that recently. No, like. 10 or 15 years ago?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know time.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I'm losing track of time. She's definitely done it. How
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: about they do the whole Justin Timberlake-Janet thing again?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: If they would agree to it, I don't know about that.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: That was a little issue there, if you remember.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wardrobe malfunction. They're saying that there may be a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: delay because they're trying to assemble a package of related performers,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: such as former boy bands.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, you got Kristen's attention.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kristen's interested.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You've got Backstreet Boys, and they leave, and NSYNC comes,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and then New Kids maybe. Yeah, that's an idea, actually.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So that might be why it's taking so long.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: O-Town's like, yes, there's a chance.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: O-Town, yes, exactly.
