- Let's just talk about Weight Watchers for a second.
- Mm-hmm. - Um, so--
um-- [laughter]
So you decide you're gonna buy
some stock in Weight Watchers because--
- No, this is the way it happened.
Uh, they called me-- Weight Watchers called me
the--like mid-July.
We had our first meeting in August.
And they said, "We would like you
"to come aboard our program and, you know, do what you do.
"Uh, self empowerment, self enrichment.
"We think that you can bring another level
to us for Weight Watchers."
I said I can't do it unless I actually go on the program.
'Cause I--first of all, I never endorsed anything.
I've never, you know, been a spokesperson for anybody.
So I will have to do the program myself,
uh, to see if I actually like those points.
Because I've been resistant to points.
Uh, I think early, early-- like in the early '70s
I might have, uh, gone to a Weight Watchers.
I never went to a meeting, but I might have signed up
but never really went through the program because
the whole idea of points, I was like,
"I don't want to be counting points."
So, um, I said let me try it
and see if I like it.
And as of today, since August 12th,
I've lost 15 pounds. - Wow.
[cheers and applause]
- But I'm excited about Weight Watchers being able to
bring, uh, a healthier more holistic approach
for everybody.
Now, I didn't tell you about it
because I wanted to play the stay-out-of-jail card.
- Uh-huh. - I wanted to--for both of us.
- But did you know that it was-- can I tell people
what happened if they don't know
what happened? Do you mind?
- Okay, tell them. - Okay, so Oprah b--
what, 10% of the company? Is that what you bought?
- Yeah, I did. - Okay.
So the stocks were trading at $6 a share,
she buys--she goes, what, like $40 million
you put in? - Yeah.
- In one day, she made $45 million.
She--it doubled by the end of the day.
Now, had she made one phone call to me--
[laughter]
I couldn't have put 40 million in,
but I could have put a little bit of money in.
- No, but we want to stay out of jail, so--
- Yeah, I know. - That is, yeah--
- But you didn't know it was going to double.
- No, I certainly didn't know that.
- You were investing in-- - I certainly didn't know that.
What I said to them was, you know--
- It's good that you're not hurting anymore, though.
I'm so happy for you 'cause that's--
[laughter]
- You know. - Getting more trees.
But this is the thing. This is the thing.
Uh, Weight Watchers actually has given me the tools
because everybody who's done a diet,
you know that you promise yourself--
and then Monday-- and then by Monday afternoon
you say, okay, I'll start Tuesday.
And then by--and so there's always something coming up.
So Weight Watchers has actually, these past two months,
given me the tools to have accountability
to myself. - Mm-hmm.
- So, like--so far today I've probably had,
uh, when I was in the car it was kinda--17 points.
So it means I have now I have 13 points left.
I get 30 a day, and it really depends
on your weight, your size, whatever.
And so, I know I can now have 13 points left for the day.
- So it works. - I'm gonna go whoo-hoo.
- All right. - Whoo-hoo.
