Ryan Seacrest
  • #RyanSeacrest
    • His reps are clearing things up after many people thought he had a stroke on the season finale of “American Idol.”
    • Towards the end of the show, his words sounded slurred and his right eye appeared larger than his left.
    • That sent social media into a frenzy of concern that he had suffered some kind of neurological episode.
    • His rep said that he did not and, “Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home.”
    • He’s been juggling three to four on-air jobs over the last few weeks and his rep said he’s just in need of rest and he took Monday off.
  • #SummerTravel
    • Americans are still ready to hit the road this summer, despite the coronavirus.
    • 2/3’s of Americans plan to travel more over the summer and have increased the number of trips they plan to take over the summer after being cooped up inside.
    • Of those with a trip planned for the summer, 66% had a trip canceled or postponed as a result of the pandemic.
    • And warning…there may be more cars on the road as 35% say they’d prefer to drive due to worries about flying post-COVID-19.
  • #MichaelJordan
    • Poll: 73% of NBA fans believe Michael Jordan is a superior player to Lebron James.
    • Perhaps they were reminded of his greatness after seeing “The Last Dance” documentary.
    • The poll results were split evenly into age groups of 18-34 and 35 and older, so that goes to show you that there’s not a generational divide.
    • He also came out on top in 17 specific questions including better sneaker for fashion, better sneaker to ball in, pick for a game-winning shot, and would win on a one-on-one.
  • #IceCream
    • Doctors: Ice cream is the worst food to binge during the pandemic.
    • Why ice cream, as opposed to all the other junk food out there?
    • Because there are two things in ice cream that can cause inflammation in the body.
    • When inflammation is high, it taxes the immune system which makes you more susceptible to disease and illness.
    • Those two things are dairy and sugar.
