Team USA's New Anthem, The Secret to Feeling More Connected & The Ball Drop in July

Team USA is moving on in the FIFA World Cup—but it's what happened after the final whistle that has everyone talking. Could America have found its own soccer anthem? A new study suggests women need about 47 minutes of undivided attention each day from their partner. We talk about what that really means—and why something as simple as sharing dinner, taking a walk, or putting the phones away for a little while can make a big difference. For the first time ever, New York City's iconic Ball Drop is happening in July... and not just once. We'll explain the surprising reason behind eight different ball drops across America. Plus, a couple climbed to the top of the Empire State Building, got engaged... and then got arrested. The internet's reaction is almost as entertaining as the proposal itself. We’re also giving away an incredible prize package to the Alive Music Festival—including 4 festival passes, 4 concession passes, and 4 event T-shirts!
