Donny Deutsch breaks down the brands shaping the cultural conversation this week on On Brand with Donny Deutsch. In this fast-moving Brands of the Week episode, Donny unpacks what's hot, what's not, and what's flying under the radar.

This week's brand winners & losers include:

🔺 New York Knicks – The Knicks are rolling into the Eastern Conference Finals and the Garden is electric. Donny and Lou break down what's driving the run.

🔻 Trump's T1 Phone – 600,000 people paid $100 deposits. No phone. No release date. And the "Made in America" promise quietly vanished. Is this the Trumps' next big scandal?

🔺 Small Business Boom – Small businesses created 95% of new jobs in Q1. Why aren't Republicans shouting this from the rooftops?

🔻 Delta Airlines – No snacks, no drinks on short flights. Is Delta's cost-cutting going too far?

🔺 Man Bands Are Back – Backstreet Boys. New Kids on the Block. $50 million at the Sphere in Vegas. The boy bands grew up and the fans followed.

🔻 New Jersey Diners – 100 diners closed in 10 years. Can the "Saving Our Diners Act" rescue a beloved American institution?

🔺 Seth Rogen's The Studio – The most award-winning freshman comedy in TV history. Emmy, Golden Globe, BAFTA — it has swept everything.

🔺 Beta Moms vs. Tiger Moms – The parenting pendulum is swinging. Why loosening up may be the key to raising resilient kids.

Plus: the "Nacho Trade" on Wall Street, the freshman 15 explained by science, the priest & pastor shortage crisis, wine moms and the 2026 midterms, the Line IPO, summer driving dangers, older people's surprising relationship with regret, and the top 10 most beautiful college campuses in America.
