Dangerous epidemic. Zika cases add up in the u. S. Its spreading explosively, they warn. Our dr. Richard besser goes to the heart of ground zero where there are a million cases. Live in brazil. Just dance a swimmer out of water. Olympian Michael Phelps dancing in his speedo with his medals. How his dance helped the home team soar to a big victory. Dance dance dance just dance and good morning, america. Happy friday, okay, could you make a free throw staring at Michael Phelps like that. Curtain of distraction . You never know whos going to be behind that curtain. What a night in politics. Last debate for the republicans before the first votes and donald trump did follow through on that promise. He refused to take center stage, instead he hired a hall just five minutes away, held his own event to raise money for veterans. Actually it was at one point in the evening there were five as you know, three days until the Iowa Caucuses and its your voice, your vote. We have full Team Coverage starting with abcs jonathan morning. Good morning, jon. Robin. From the moment he got in the race back in june, donald trump has dominated the campaign but for one night, the other candidates took center stage without him. Before we get to the issues, lets address the elephant not in the room tonight. Reporter from the start of last nights debate the republican candidates took on that elephant not in the room. Donald trump. Donald trump. Donald trump. Donald. Donald. Reporter they mentioned his time seven times in the first ten minutes with ted cruz mocking the donalds absence. Im a maniac and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly and, ben, youre a terrible surgeon. Now that weve gotten the donald [ laughter ] reporter but a debate without trump turned mostly tame, a showdown without the spectacle. The candidates instead dove into policy, the first real fireworks coming over immigration reform. Because you used to support a path to citizenship. So did you. But you changed so did you, marco. Throughout this campaign youve been willing to say or do anything in order to get votes. Now you want to trump trump on immigration. The facts are simple. When i ran in texas i told the people of texas if you elect me i will lead the fight against amnesty. I feel like a need a n English Dictionary converter. Ted can change his mind. Marco can change his mind. Reporter hoping to rise in iowa before mondays first in the nation caucus, marco rubio talked tough on Foreign Policy and also took on the democrats. I think Bernie Sanders is a good candidate for president of sweden. Reporter cruz at center stage for the first time failed open by trumps absence. His tangle with the moderators falling flat. Chris, i would note the last four questions have been, rand, please attack ted, marco, please attack ted, chris, please attack ted, jeb, please attack jeb. [ booing ] let me say in this s if. It is a debate, sir. Gosh, if you guys ask one more mean question, i may have to leave the stage. Well, dont worry, im not leaving the stage no matter what you ask me. Reporter trumps presence or nonpresence was felt even after the debate was over, take a look at this photo i shot at almost midnight as i was leaving, these guys dressed as chickens with a milk carton with Donald Trumps donald. You took that picture, jon. Reporter yes, i did, yes. Cant you tell . I cant tell your photography. Jon, did the moderators have to trump decided to show up during the debate . Reporter well, his event was only five minutes away so there was real uncertainty up until the last minute about whether or not he would come and make a surprise appearance. Megyn kelly said that they had two alternative outlines for questions and that she didnt get final word that he was definitely not coming until 15 started. All right. Thank you, jon. Conversations over the course of of fox news. He was just a few minutes away, donald trump, hired his own hall, had his own crowd along with Mike Huckabee a Rick Santorum. Tom llamas has all the details. Reporter george, good morning to you. As you heard in jonathans piece, trump wasnt there but he did take some fire on that stage and he said last night he actually considered showing up to the debate and that fox up to the last minute was trying to get him to go there. The show must go on, and thursday night it did. Have to be honest. I wanted to be about five minutes away. Reporter trump claiming fox news apologized to him, but it wasnt enough to reconsider. Fox has been extremely nice and the last number of hours actually. [ laughter ] and theyve wanted me and they said how about now . They called a few minutes ago. How about now, i said, hasnt it already started. Reporter in a statement fox news saying on thursday chairman roger ailes had three brief conversations with donald trump today about possibly appearing at the debate. And that trump offered to appear at the debate upon the condition that fox news contribute 5 million to his charities. We explained that was not possible and we could not engage in a quid pro quo nor could any money change hands for any reason. We raised over 5 million in one day. Reporter trump still claiming victory. Telling his crowd they raised more than 5 million for veterans. Debate thats going on while everyone is sleeping . Theyre all sleeping. Reporter the gop frontrunner even wrangling Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee who debated on the undercard stage to join him. You respect for doing this event . Hes raising money for veterans. You know, his decision as to whether or not to go to the debate is a separate issue. Reporter trumps followers, some who braved freezing conditions in iowa to watch his speech on an outdoor monitor say it was the smart play. I thought it was a great idea. That. You know, when these people dont play fairly then why go. You know, lets go out and support the best. Reporter and trump personally donated 1 million. Thats what he said to the event. Tweet. An unbelievable event in iowa with our great veterans. We raised 6 million while the politicians talked. Now, trump says 22 vets organizations will get that money, many here in iowa and one they said they got a call from the Trump Campaign yesterday who said, quote, it will be better than winning the lottery. George. Okay, tom, thanks very much. Lets talk about this more with matthew dowd, our political analyst and cecilia vega covering the hillary campaign. Okay, we cant know for sure what the 30,000 or 40,000 un undecided voters in iowa think but you got to say at first blush it looks like trumps bet paid off. I absolutely think it dfrment part of the reason why it did, as him as the brash starting quarterback doesnt show up for the game, the trash talking backup quarterback fumbled the first few steps which is ted cruz and i think donald trump benefited by what happened on that stage. It was the second one that fell flat. In the course of that debate you had a better picture of ted cruz and i dont think that did well for him. Who did well. I think the interesting thing, others were able to shine and i think rand paul did very well in the course bush had a pretty good night. I think jeb bush had a good first hour had a good night but in the end donald trump didnt show and won. Hillary clinton came in for a lot of fire last night. She had a bunch of attacks. I think we have one ready to go. Her campaign tweeted this image of donald trump out and with it, there you go, they say, she says trying not to throw my remote at the tv is what they were talking about. This plays into her narrative. Shes even gone to the point where she called Bernie Sanders my friend. Shes not talking about him as much on the campaign trail right now going above the fray and looking at republicans and even looking past iowa, i think, into this general pretty tight race but most polls show she has a slight lead and shes moved into a different phase. Whats the plan for the final three days . Cautiously optimistic, she is bringing in the big guns. Well see her on the trail for the very first time with bill and chelsea this week looking well past iowa. They know the race is tight and i do think they realize this could be a loss and not bracing whats the biggest unknown . I think the biggest unknown is turnout. We dont know. Everything about Bernie Sanders victory is dependent on new voters and so is Donald Trumps and depending if those show up it goes in two different directions. Thanks very much. Were going to have full coverage here at abc news this week on sunday morning, gma and world news both live in iowa and all the results live monday night and next saturday the Republican Debate at 8 00 eastern. Robin. A lot coming up. We turn to that other big story weve been following, the zika virus, boston reporting its first case of the disease. Now more than 30 detected in the u. S. And take a look at this map. You see the outbreak originating in south america and moving north. Abcs dr. Richard besser is at ground zero this morning in brazil to answer some important questions. Good morning, rich. Good morning, robin. You know, when you walk around the streets of rio you dont get going on here of such big health concern, but when you talk to pregnant women, you get a very different picture. We came to brazil, the center of the zika epidemic. The government here spraying the streets. We met fabiola already expecting when some said not to get pregnant. She tells me through a translator she knows zika is linked to babies with tiny heads and brains so she is spending her paychecks on insect repel apartment. The level of alarm is extremely high. The World Health Organization said its pulling together an Emergency Response committee saying the zika virus is, quote, spreading explosively. So far in the u. S. , there are more than 30 cases detected in 11 states in the district of columbia. All brought back from travel abroad. Zika is a relatively inconsequential virus for the general population, but if youre a pregnant woman who gets so, rich, if somebody comes back to the u. S. With that virus, is there potential they could spread it to others . Thats a big concern, robin, because if someone is infected and comes back to the United States and is bit by a mosquito, that mosquito can bite other people and be infected so if you come back and have any symptoms, you need to be seen and definitely need to use repellant. A lot of concern about pregnant women and wanting to know how long does the virus stay in the system and could it possibly affect future pregnancies. When they look at similar viruses similar to zika they find once a person has recovered and when their symptoms are gone, the virus is no longer in their body so they dont think future pregnancies will be at any risk at all. We heard a report there is a pregnant woman here in new york city with the virus. Well, you know, thankfully theres no mosquito activity in new york city at this time so she shouldnt be putting other people at risk. But theyre going to monitor her developing baby to see if the baby has been affected and once that baby is born theyll do hearing tests, vision tests to see if the baby was damaged. We dont know how big the risk is to that baby. We hope all goes well for mother and baby. Be safe coming back from brazil. For full coverage you can go to goodmorningamerica. Com on yahoo we move to that deadly shootout in oregon. The fbi released new video showing the roadside confrontation between an antigovernment protester and Law Enforcement that left one of the groups leaders dead and abcs Neal Karlinsky has the latest. Reporter youre looking at video of the dramatic traffic stop taken by an fbi surveillance plane. Investigators say that white truck is being driven by occupation spokesman lavoy finicum. As police stop the truck and another late tuesday afternoon occupation leaders are taken except finicum who doesnt surrender, instead after nearly four minutes sitting in his truck flanked by police takes off again. You can see him speeding down the rural road where police have set up a roadblock. He eventually careens into a snowbank to miss them nearly hitting an fbi agent. Moments later he can be seen getting out with his hands raised then critically reaching at least twice with ace right hand towards a pocket on the left side of his jacket. We wont show the Moment Police fire, but thats when finicum is shot by oregon state troopers and killed. Investigators say a loaded 9 millimeter handgun was found inside the very pocket finicum appears to reach for. You know there are various versions of what happened, most of them inaccurate and some of them inflammatory. We want to give the public as much information as possible as to what happened that day. Reporter as for the standoff the count is now down to four. Just four armed protesters left inside. Them and hope to wrap all of this up soon, robin. We all hope that. Neal, thank you.

I dont think anyone would be happy to be in the circumstance hes in. Reporter a day the sheriffs been waiting for. I said all along i will breathe a sigh of relief when both of them are back. Reporter the millionaires son after nearly two months bundled back to texas thursday dropping his legal battle against depore trace to the u. S. And then whisked away in this truck. The sheriff waiting to book him at the jail. What was he like . Meek and mild. He wasnt defiant. He didnt raise his voice. Reporter but the sheriff claims not repentant. His only mindset is how do i reporter in 2013 the 16yearold pleaded guilty to killing four people in a drunk driving wreck. The judge giving him only ten years probation but police say he and his mother made off to mexico after this video surfaced allegedly showing him at a boozy party. Raising questions of violating that probation. Couch will be in court today for his detention hearing, a judge deciding whether hell get bail, remain in this juvenile facility or he can be ordered to be taken into custody by our office and taken to the adult jail. Reporter of course, all of that will be determined in just a couple of hours. To much media fanfare but one person who will not be here, ethan couchs traveling buddy to mexico, his mother, tanya, still under house arrest, awaiting her trial for allegedly helping him escape to mexico. She faces up to ten years in prison. Robin. All right, matt, thanks for the latest. Amy with the other mornings top stories starting with incident with iran. Thats right.

Making a lot of headlines again right now. A famous doctor featured in concussion says his time on the football field may be linked to his bad behavior. That is dr. Bennet omalu. He does not hold back in his feelings. Also right now trump as you know a big noshow at the debate last night. And this morning, bill and Chelsea Clinton set to join hillary in iowa. The three appearing for the first time together on the campaign trail since hillary announced her campaign. New concerns about the mosquitoborne virus, zika. This morning, more than 30 cases authorities revealing one person diagnosed in new york city is pregnant and rich talked about that. A lot of anxiety out there. Lara, you got a new warning for car owners you. May think its a good idea cold weather to warm up your car while getting ready leaving the keys inside. A lot of us have done it. This Morning Police say please dont. We will tell you why coming up. Not a good idea. We begin this half hour, though, with that startling new theory about o. J. Simpson from the groundbreaking doctor featured in the movie concussion and he is convinced his years on the field field may have given had im a brain disease. Abcs ryan smith is here with that story. Have you our attention, ryan. Reporter good morning, robin. A few names in sports more polarizing than o. J. Simpson turning him from a football star to a pariah but dr. Bennet omalu thinks he has vtsz from thousands of hits on the football field and should serve as a cautionary tale. If it doesnt fit you must acquit. Putting that on your hand . Reporter hes the most infamous Football Player in sports history acquitted of double murder, o. J. Simpsons trial for the brutal killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and ron goldman now inspiring the new tv series the people versus o. J. Simpson. You want to make this a black thing . Im not black. Im o. J. Reporter this morning 21 years after the so farcalled trial of the century, an intriguing new claim about the man at the center of it all. O. J. Simpson is more likely than not suffering from cte. Reporter dr. Bennet omalu, the doctor responsible for discovering chronic traumatic encephalopathy or cte in nfl players from repeated blows to the head believes simpson is a victim of the disease. The truth. Reporter portrayed by will smith in the film concussion the world renowned forensic path personally and can only be diagnosed after death but he can identify the telltale signs of cte behavioral symptoms, he says. Explosive impulsive behavior, impaired judgment, criminality, even mood disorders. Reporter but the strongest evidence o. J. May have cte, he says, his college and 11year pro playing careers. He was exposed to thousands of blows to his head. Reporter its an assertion simpson himself once reportedly made using concussions as part of a legal strategy after his 2008 conviction for Armed Robbery and kidnapping in las vegas. Im sorry. Reporter according to espn during an appeal of his 33year maximum sentence, simpsons attorney reportedly filed a sworn statement that he suffered numerous blows to the head and or landed on my head violently while playing football. Though he never relied on that appeal, a new trial was denied. While dr. Omalu stresses that cte doesnt excuse the criminal behavior that landed o. J. Behind bars, he does want the case to serve as a reminder of the lifealtering damage the sport can cause. Now, dr. Omalu claims he has yet to examine a retired player that doesnt have cte and that in his opinion athletes playing football to the pro level have a 90 to 100 of getting it. All the more reason he says to talk to kids or talk to parents about whether kids should be exposed to all those hits on the field. Well look at the legal ramifications with dan abrams who covered both of the simpson trials very extensively. Ryan alluded to this. Could this have been anything he used in either of his cases. Not as a defense, per se, meaning he couldnt have said, look, ive got this and, therefore, im not guilty. He might have been able to argue, you should be able to give me a lesser sentence, suffering called a mitigating factor in sentencing. But when it comes to guilty or not guilty, saying Something Like i have a brain disease isnt enough. Thats why we talk about the insanity defense because the criminal law is so black and white in that regard. Do you think now not just pro players talking college players, high school players, that if they get in trouble with the law that they could use this defense . I think were actually going to see it a lot, particularly when it comes to sentencing. Because youre going to see someone convicted of a crime, someone who is going to allege that, you know, they got hit a ton in high school or college, thats what led them to become more violent, et cetera, and, you know well see if judges accept it as a mitigating factor but again really important to distinguish between guilt and innocence where this wont be particularly useful and the sentencing phase where someone could say, i should get a reduced sentence because of what im suffering from. This is bringing a lot of o. J. Is the right spokesperson. He is the last person you want as the spokesperson for this, right . I mean, no one wants to sympathize with o. J. Simpson, so whether he has it or doesnt have it, its probably not going to be particularly useful for the cause. Got it, thanks, dan. We turn to that new twist in the manhunt for those three inmates who escaped. A woman who teaches at the jail has been arrested in connection with that escape. Officials believe she provided them with the information they needed to make their break. Abcs Kayna Whitworth has the details. Reporter this morning the woman who police say helped these convicts escape sitting in other own cell. Reporter they made a significant arrest. Reporter 44yearold Nooshafarin Ravaghi arrested in the escape of these three inmates teaching english as a second language. The alleged mastermind behind reportedly taking one of her classes at the time. Officials now say she allegedly provided them with google maps and other information essential to their escape. Steve gomez says the maps may have helped the three get to a specific address or provided better understanding of the surrounding buildings and the jail roof. Inmates are allowed three hours of Outdoor Recreation time a week. Here at this jail its done on the roof. Reporter ravaghi denies providing anything beyond the maps. According to police, escapees who are still at large may be living out of this white van which was stolen saturday in south los angeles.

Hey, amy, thank you. Heres something you may be forgetting to tell your doctor. You dont remember things. And according to a newly published report in a cdc journal that could be a big problem. Abc news senior medical contributor dr. Jennifer ashton is here with the details. So, first before i want to encourage viewers grab a pen and piece of paper a little brain acrobatics this study found three out of four adults over 9 age of 45 who complained of memory out of four adults, three out of four didnt bring that up with their doctor. The one who did, 50 of that group failed to then go on for followup treatment, assessment. One, onus on the doctors. We have to ask about memory issues and, two, patients cant and then to follow up on sequential testing and assessment. You know, as we get older we joke about, oh, my memory. How much is that normal when you get a little bit older and when do you know maybe it isnt so incredible common question. So, again, heres some normal versus some warning signs. Take a look. Normal would be if you forget part of an experience, a warning sign would be if you forget the entire experience. Next one, normal occasionally we forget where we park the car. Warning sign, its not normal if you forget how to drive the car. Another one, forgetting events from the distant past that happens to all of us, warning sign would be if you forget recent events entirely and, again, thats the whole event and if its recent and lastly, if you forget a persons name but remember it later, thats normal. Warning sign if you forget that person completely. Not good. Im glad you put it up like that because it really lets you know. A simple test. I want to caution this is not diagnostic of any kind of to assess the way we form shortterm memory. What do we do. Grab a pen and piece of paper. Look at these 1 words, take a look and try to remember as many as you can. What we know memory occurs in basically three stage, we have to encode the information and consolidate the information and information. Now well take that down, give everyone a second. Try to write down as many of those words as you can. Are you doing it too, george. I hope everyone has had their coffee in the morning. Again, these kind of brain games oh, no cheating, robin.

Yeah, youre enfew u enfuego, five to nine, average shortterm memory. I am joking but i am very whats the warning sign, george, my gosh. He had seven. Seven. So average oh youre average in this sense. He is not average. What are your recommendations if you think there is something wrong. I think the key thing is speak to your doctor or health care provider.

Well now see from Abbie Boudreau what parents have to say. Heres Rockin Barbie reporter the blond bombshell on store shelves. Now barbie is getting a makeover. Mattel announcing thursday theyre adding three new body types, petite, tall and curvy. So we sat down with the real experts and their moms. Theres a lot of girl power at the table to talk about the iconic doll and her latest transformation. Seeing these changes, it really makes you think like, wow, im really beautiful. Reporter when you compare this barbie, the curvy barbie which one would you choose . I choose this one because its different. Reporter dr. Stacy kaiser says this makes sense. When girls are in search of a doll they often seek out one that looks like them. So the fact that there are barbie as valuable in a variety of shapes is going to be a good thing for the little girls. Its okay that we dont all look the same. Were all different and were all beautiful. Doesnt matter the shape or size. Reporter mattel agrees telling abc news that barbies ability to evolve and grow with the times while staying true to her spirit is central to why barbie is the number one fashion doll in the world. But not everyone is on board. One barbie fan tweeting im all forde versety and positive body image but thats not barbie then. Its a different doll. Barbie is more than a brand. Barbie is a character also. Reporter still, all the moms say theyre happy with the changes and would buy the new dolls for their daughters. But its your choice. Pick one of these or pick the same one. Beauty comes in a lot of different packages and its not just blond, its not just tall and thin. Reporter for Good Morning America, Abbie Boudreau, abc news, los angeles. Learning a lot talking amongst ourselves. Growing up in mississippi it was odd to have a doll that didnt look like myself. I remember going, huh. I had a black doll. I dont know why how it happened but its great to be able to expose but i think its important for kids to identify with you know what also that is so great about our kids generation. My daughter doesnt see color. Thats what i think having all these selections theres something for everybody out there. How about a guy doll in a suit. The ken doll. Making you feel whole. I buy that, george. All right. Brand thats making headlines. Victorias secret is facing a big lawsuit this morning. A lingerie designer claiming the chain stole her dine. Abcs Rebecca Jarvis has that story. Reporter theyre some of the worlds most famous figures, the body of an angel. Reporter but one lingerie designer is suing the megachain for allegedly stealing her body of work. Debra mackinnon who runs new jersey intimate apparel zephyrs claiming theyre selling a knockoff version of her pushups. Its anatomically correct and creates lift and cleavage while maintaining a natural appearance under clothing. Shes saying what is in the store was her idea. I have put a lot of type, work, energy and investment into my designs and unique ininvestigation and i just want mckinson says she got the idea in january of 2008 after 20 mockup ae. Its and then pitched her product to victorias secret telling the megachain she was applying for a patent but would give the company exclusive licensing rights if they came to an agreement. According to the complaint, mackinnon claims she sold tens of thousands of her inserts to the company from 2011 to 2012 until victorias secret decided to terminate tear agreement and began making lower quality knockoffs. This specific case is a classic david and goliath story where you have an entrepreneur and a large u. S. Conglomerate corporation. Reporter were joined by rebecca and we also have shark tanks daymond john in orlando on tour for his new book the power of broke which by the way just hit the New York Times bestsellers list. Well deserved. Thank you. Daymond, we want to know what could deborah have done to she should have had a non nondisclosure agreement when she goes and shops it to all these brands and that procures or saves the fact shes not going to be able to get knocked off because they signed an agreement and should have walked in there with a provisional patent that holes her place for that patent for that bra for about a year until she comes out with the actual product. But because she didnt do that, what chances does she have at winning this . Very little because you know what, they probably didnt want to sign an nda because they probably get, you know, pitched bras all the time. Probably have a staff of 200 people developing bras and theres going to be a pushup bra in the system, so they probably didnt want to sign that so thee probably decided to hole the meetings regardless. What suggestions do you have . You have people that come on your show and have these great concept, products and that and you know they go to bigger places and how do they protect themselves . First of all they have to trademark the name and concept. If theres a design patent they design pat ten and they should go out and get a provisional patent so it holds their place in line as they develop their product. They cant just walk into a big company and say, hey, take a look at this. It could have been a designer in a whole other department that reviewed that bra two years later and said i came up with the idea. The head of the company may not even know. Is there some way you can go because i know so many people, they have these ideas, they dont know where to go. Is there somewhere they can go. Of course, you can go to an attorney which i highly suggest but a ust United States trademark ustpo. Uspto. Thats my dyslexia kicking in. Yeah, thats where you would go and that is the government site trademarks. You could do that by yourself. Its uspto. Gov. They actually have a section so we think about the cost of doing these thing, you hear a lawyer me. They actually have a part of that means free help from a free attorney that has been doing these things thats been looking at pat tenses that knows exactly what you need to put into your patent in order for it to really have weight and teeth. Who pays for the attorneys . The government. Whatever happened back in the days when we went to the library and we figured out how to do it ourselves and save 20,000. Thats right. All right. Very important advice there. Daymond, thank you very much. Congratulations again and, rebecca, thank you. Out to rob now. Check it out, amy. Somebody here a bunch of sia supporters.

I was a baby, you know, who doesnt make mistakes at 21 years old yet mine followed me for the rest of my life and hit a utility pole going 70 Miles Per Hour and next thing you know, i was in the hospital for over 2 1 2 months . And your career was over. Yeah, pretty much at that given moment. I tried to come back and but i couldnt do it at the same level i was at but my thing is accidents happen in life and i really think im better for it. You say in your book that that crash was not an accident. Well, ive been living my life so differently at that point and i saw guys who have been playing professional sports kiss their wives and go on planes and then live a different life and come back home and ago like it never happened and, justifying thing, right. You were headed down that road. For sure and i was into drugs at the time. I was into alcohol. I was partying a lot. It took all but a year for me to become a shell of myself. And i fought through it. Afterwards its like i truly believe that now the course im setton 0 as a man is a lot better it ever would have been in that position. You got so low in those months of recovery and you attempted suicide. I attempted suicide twice the second time being the worst where i wanted everything to go away. I got addicted to oxycontin and tried to overdose on that and thought many people on tv wow, maybe tv could be my new passion. Just happened like that. How do you reinvent yourself going from nearly dying, nearly killing yourself to then all of a sudden saying, aha, i can have a great life . You know, it took a while. It didnt just happen automatically overnight. I found a board. They helped me to have higher my outlook is so different. I take a shower in the morning and think, i couldnt take a shower by myself so its a different perspective on life. Grateful and thankful. Every day. Youve had incredible people in your life. You write about your parents, uhhuh. Had some great words of wisdom for you along the way. Like a second father to me. Look, the relationship isnt it any other way. Whats the most important thing he taught you. Probably to move on to the next play. You know, when i was a freshman i used to turn the ball over all the time and used to bring one negative play into the other and thats very much similar to life, right . My sdechts, i was able to get over it because i had to think what is the next play of my life and i cant bring all this depression into all the positive things coming to me. Whats your next big goal. Hopefully doing what you do. I see you and robin on air. George is killing it. Hopefully that will be the next step one day. So tell me about where you are right now in your life. Like whats a day in the life of jay. Working Espn College Gameday and hang out with jesse palmer, one of the people you work with. The sock effect and having fun and enjoying it. I love hearing other peoples stories about how they persevered through adversity. I love hearing your story. It is a must read.

Cc1 test message test text1 underline test text1 italics back now with superstar sia who just gave us an incredible why are you laughing . Thats true. No, you know how funny it is, just found out moments ago that your new album is number one in over 50 countries, close to 60 countries. We just heard that moments ago. So thank you. That is so amazing. The concept of this album if you dont know this is acting is these are all songs youve written for other artists, youre a terrific writer and have written so many hits. These were for rihanna and all these artists who didnt choose them . A couple of them i wrote and kept for myself and even one i took back actually because i liked it. Which one is that. Space between. Who was it supposed to be. Rihanna and i asked if she didnt mind and she didnt. Shes a cool gal. I love i was feeling it. I suddenly had sellers remorse. I understand. I understand. I have the same problem with antiques. But i love that idea of sort of recycling. These songs meant something to you. It feels like a good experiment if im right because i felt like they were good songs but nobody was picking up on them and i thought, well, i have this im in this luxury position where i can just experiment. I dont have to be successful because im already making money from all of their pop songs im writing so i can afford to experiment with my own stuff. I think the experiment paid off. Nice work. Number one. And, again, we all you have such an iconic look. Face . Oh, i mean its just its for fun and for privacy. Like ive been working around new york this whole time. I dont need security detail. I dont need anything special. I just walk around. And i can do that and thats a yeah, no kidding. Yeah, so thats why. That wont change. This look isnt just a look for this year. Youre going to keep it. As long as it works. If it stops working then obviously you need someone to hold your hand. I was like, can i hold your hand. Im sure you have many volunteers. Gma. Congratulations. Thanks, again, the name of the album is this is acting and it is big. Guys. Great weekend. Please, you do too, wont you.
