  Speaker 1: Well, listen, whoa. No, no, no, no.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Some friends gave her tickets for her birthday. So it
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: was a whole bunch of different things.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Plus, you know, if you love somebody that much, if
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you're going to go to concerts, you go to see
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: them a couple of times. You don't have to go
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to see other people.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: If you don't know, he has a 30-night residency here
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: So this is your probably only opportunity to ever do this.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And I said to her, because she said, is this
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a little ridiculous?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I said, Yeah, probably, but why not?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Right, exactly.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You're young and have fun. This is great. You'll remember
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: this for the rest of your life.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Do it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: A thousand percent. I agree a thousand percent. It's this
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: age when you get to do these type of things.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It's later in life that you get boring.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if she was 50 and doing this, I'd
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: be like, but to tell you the truth, I actually
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: know a 50-year-old woman who's several who are doing the
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: same exact thing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So are you a Harry Styles fan? I am.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: You are? Okay, good.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Then you're going to have a great time and you're
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: going to be with your daughter. What a great night
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that's going to be. By the way, it might rain tonight.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: It's okay. We don't care.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But you'll be inside.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: One of the first concerts I ever took to, well,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the first one, but we went to go
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: see One Direction together. And that's, he was, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the boy band, he was 16 years old at the time.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of like full circle.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a big mother-daughter thing. You know what? If
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you want to tell us about your favorite concert, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: would love to hear about that. I gotta, let me,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'll give all the information at the end. Those of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you who give talkbacks all the time, you already know
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the information, but there's a few things I want to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: talk about here. First of all, and I know that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Natalie and her beat on the street is going to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: be doing this today. So I don't want to talk
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: too much about it, but I do want to talk
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: about the 25-year-old man who was arrested for stabbing a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: fellow rider on the J train in Queens. It sounds
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: like another mentally disturbed person. He was pacing back and forth,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and he appeared agitated before approaching Masias Lojano, 59, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: stabbing him, and he later died. So it's an awful story.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's an awful story all around. But But here's what
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: heartens me a little bit, that there was a person
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that saw this might happen and started videotaping the guy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So he has this all on video. And then when
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it happened, people rushed to try to stop it and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: then ran after him. got off the platform and ran
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: after him. He had to go up on a roof
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and they filmed him on the roof. So the police
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: were able to get him because of that. Doesn't that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: restore your faith in humankind? Because you hear so many
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of these stories in the subway where people look the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: other way and don't want to get involved. Here you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: had not one, but several people that got involved. And
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: so hats off to them. You're wonderful human beings. It's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a shame that that somebody couldn't have stopped him before
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: he did this, but I understand how quickly those things
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: can happen. And God bless all of you. That's wonderful.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do a neck hurting turn right here
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: because I do want to talk a little bit about
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Sydney Sweeney. See how, how, how much of a turn
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: was that one? That's a big one. But I want
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to talk about it because I think she's a talented
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: young woman. I really do. And the problem that people
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: have with her, mostly women have with her, is that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: she uses her sexuality. And she uses it all the time.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And she became more famous from an ad than she
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: ever did from any of the movies she was in.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: She became famous before. It was an American Eagle Jeans.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Is that the name of it? American Eagle Jeans?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And, you know, when she talked about she has great
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: genes and that became a huge controversy. It was the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: best thing that ever happened to American Eagle. And it
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was the best thing that ever happened to Sidney Sweeney.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden she became a huge star. So
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: there is a new company named Novig that is sports betting.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So they hired her because they're thinking maybe she could
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: do the same for us that she did for American Eagle.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Only in this one, she doesn't have any clothes on.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: She just uses sports equipment and her hair to cover
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the parts you can't show on TV. Think you know sports?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Prove it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Novig is just sports.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So they wanted to show just sports. And the people
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: have come after her. And by the way, Novig loves
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that people, because it's in the news all the time now,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it's Novig is being talked about all the time. This
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: is exactly what they wanted. So the people that are
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: upset about it are doing exactly what Sidney Sweeney wanted
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and what the company wanted. But it's all of these
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: woke women that are coming after her. How dare she?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: How dare she use her sexuality? I thought that's what
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that movement was fighting for. That women should be able
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to do what they want with their bodies. That women
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: should have the total control of their bodies. That there
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: should be a freedom. If somebody wants to have sex
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: with people, they're allowed to. If somebody wants to show
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: their body, they're allowed to. How come that same group
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of women that defends the very thing that Sidney Sweeney
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: is doing has a problem with it once she does it?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I really don't understand. All I know is that group
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of women that have a problem with this, they look
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: silly right now because you're the one that's making her
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a star and you're the one that's going to help
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: sell Novig. So exactly what they wanted happened. But it
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: got me thinking, and Natalie, I want you to get
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: in on this too. It got me thinking, what are
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: some of the biggest and most successful endorsements by celebrities
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of all time and one immediately jumps to mind because
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: one is by far the most successful and that is
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: michael jordan with nike i've.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Lost almost 300 games 26 times i've been trusted to
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: take the game winning shot and missed have failed over
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: and over and over again in my life And that
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: is why I succeed.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: That ended up being a 20-year relationship, and that made
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: him hundreds of millions of dollars. It made Nike billions
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of dollars. And later on, they got Tiger Woods for
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: golf as well. And so Nike has been brilliant at this. Now,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: another one I want to bring up, and this was
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney before there was a Sidney Sweeney. She was young.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: This was controversial. It is a Calvin Klein ad with
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Brooke Shields. You want to know what comes between me
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and my Calvins? Nothing.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Calvin Klein jeans.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Now, how old was she in then?
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: She was too young.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: 14 or 15 or something like that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: That's the whole thing about that ad. I mean, her mom,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: you know, girl's 14 years old. Would you ever do
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: that to your kid?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. I don't think so. It
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: was extremely successful. Like Sidney Sweeney, the same thing. It
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: made her a superstar. She was already getting big because
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: she was already modeling. But man, she took off after that. Now,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I think those are two really good ones when you're
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: talking about endorsements and the ones that have been successful.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: But one that, well, I'll tell you what, I'm just
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: going to play it. Because you might agree that this
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: might even be bigger, bigger than the Jordan 1. Not
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: bringing in so much money, but bigger at least for
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: this athlete.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: My Joy Foreman Grills, America's favorite grilling machines, are.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Number one on everyone's list. Moms want them. Dads want them.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Grandmas want them. Even college kids. It's great for the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: whole family.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I love the commercial.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: That's great. He's so good.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: This was commercial.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But isn't he great?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you know what? Everybody did want one. Moms
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: wanted one. College kids wanted one.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: He was right.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Everybody wanted one.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Did you ever have one?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Of course I had one.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Did you have one, Crash? Go guess.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I feel like at some point everybody had one.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I had one and it got stolen.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Well, and it's funny.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I had one.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think I used it very often, but we
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: had one.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'd love to know from people. So there's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a few, topics on the table, but certainly I'd love
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to know from people who you think were some of
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the biggest endorsements of all time. And for that, or
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: if you want to talk about what happened on the subway,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: anything we talked about this morning, just go to the
