MUCH IN STORE THIS HOUR, THE ONE AND ONLY YOU KEVIN COSTNER IS

ZOOMING IN. AN ACTRESS AND COMEDIAN

NICOLE BYER IS STEPPING INTO THE ZOOM ROOM AS WELL.

AND OUR SIGNATURE SUMMER STAYCATION COCKTAIL.

I LOVE A COCKTAIL. PLUS ALL WEEK WE HAVE BEEN

GIVING MONEY TO VIEWERS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS.

I AM TALKING TO AN ADORABLE COUPLE FROM ORLANDO AND BOTH OF

THEM LOST THEIR JOBS WHEN THINGS SHUT DOWN.

LIKE MANY, THEIR BILLS ARE PILING UP AND IT IS A VERY SCARY

TIME FOR PEOPLE. SO THEY HAVE NO IDEA, BUT WE ARE

GOING TO BE PAYING THEIR MORTGAGE FOR THE REST OF 2020.

I'M VERY EXCITED TO TELL THEM THAT.

BUT FIRST I NEED TO SHARE THIS VIDEO OF SOME KIDS WHO STARTED

AN IMPROMPTU BLACK LIVES MATTER PARADE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> OH, MY GOD, LOOK AT THIS. [KIDS CHANTING "BLACK LIVES

MATTER"] >> Kelly: THAT POP UP PARADE

WAS STARTED BY KIDS ALONG WITH SOME NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDS.

THE CARS ARE ZOOMING IN. SAY HELLO TO DAD MEAL, MOM DREW,

AND THEREFORE COCHILDREN. WHAT'S UP, CAR FAMILY.

>> HEY, KELLY, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> Kelly: THAT LOOK SO COOL, JUST THE WHOLE THING, LOOK AT

WHAT YOU ARE STANDING IN. THE Q CHAIRS AND ADDRESSES.

SO THIS ALL STARTED WHEN THE KIDS WERE RUNNING A POPCORN

STAND, RIGHT? >> YES, SO WE ARE ADOPTIVE

PARENTS OF FOUR CHILDREN, AND WHEN THE WHOLE GEORGE FLOYD TO

MURDER, WE WERE REALLY TAKEN BACK.

>> Kelly: I HAVE KIDS, BROTHER, YOU ARE PREACHING TO

THE CHOIR. >> WHEN YOU HAVE FOUR LITTLE

ONES AND YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT'S HARD NOT TO SEE HER

OWN BABY. SO WE WANTED TO JUMP IN AND DO

SOMETHING THAT WE COULD HANDLE AND I WORK AT AMAZON, AND THERE

IS AN EMPLOYEE MATCH DONATION OF CHARITABLE DONATIONS THAT

SUPPORT RACIAL JUSTICE. AND SO, WE HAD THE IDEA THAT WE

COULD DO FUND-RAISING. ANY MENTION THAT TO DREW AND SHE

TOOK IT FROM THERE. >> Kelly: THAT IS AMAZING.

>> AS A MOM I JUST REALLY FELT THAT BURNING HIM I GOT TO SEE

THAT CHANGE FOR MY KIDS, AND FOR OTHER KIDS.

AND WE PICKED UP THE POPCORN MAKER LAST FALL AT GOODWILL FOR

$20. AND IT HAS COME IN HANDY LOTS OF

TIMES. SO WE ARE USUALLY -- WE LIVE IN

SEATTLE AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF YARD SPACE, SO WE ARE IN OUR

DRIVEWAY OR ON THE SIDEWALK. AND WE THOUGHT LET'S JUST START

SELLING POPCORN AND TALKING TO HER NEIGHBORS ONE NEIGHBOR AT A

TIME, AND ONE BOX OF POPCORN AT A TIME.

>> Kelly: HOW DID THE PARADE HAPPEN?

>> THE PARADE WAS SPONTANEOUS. WE INVITED OUR FRIENDS OVER TO

HELP WITH THE POP POPCORN STAND. AND WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT WAS

GOING ON IN THE WORLD THAT RIGHT NOW BLACK PEOPLE ARE FEELING

UNHEARD AND TODAY ARE FEELING -- THEY ARE JUST HURTING.

SO OUR KIDS UNDERSTAND THAT. AND I THINK MOST KIDS CAN

UNDERSTAND THAT. SO THEY JUST PICKED UP THE

SANDWICH SIGNS, I WAS HELPING A NEIGHBOR GET SOME POPCORN, AND

THEY TOOK THE SIGNS AND STARTED MARCHING AROUND THE BLOCK.

AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME I LET THEM GO AROUND THE BLOCK BY

THEMSELVES. >> Kelly: WHAT AN AMAZING

FIRST TIME. I HEAR THAT AFTER YOU GUYS

POSTED THE VIDEO, MONEY JUST STARTED POURING IN, RIGHT?

>> YEAH, IT IS AMAZING. WE HAVE SEEN $15,000 ROLE IN SO

FAR, WHICH IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE. AND THE NEIGHBOR KIDS ARE

AMAZING. THEY SEE THAT THERE IS DARKNESS

IN THE WORLD, BUT THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE CAN STILL BE CHANGE

AND IF THEIR LITTLE VOICES CAN SEE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS, THEY

ARE JUST BRINGING IT. >> OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES

COMING TO HAVE TO KEEP THAT EVEN IF IT IS A SMALL LITTLE PIECE OF

HOPE, YOU HAVE TO KEEP THAT ALIVE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO YOU AND ALL OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL KIDS.

MAKE SOME POPCORN. LET'S GET TO MY FIRST GUEST, YOU

KNOW HIM FROM "DANCING WITH WOLVES" "THE BODYGUARD" "FIELD

OF DREAMS AND SO MUCH MORE, YOU CAN SEE HIM NOW IN YELLOWSTONE

SEASON THREE PREMIERING THIS SUNDAY.

TAKE A LOOK. >> EXACTLY AS I TOLD YOU TO SAY

IT. UNDERSTOOD?

>> UNDERSTOOD, TRUST ME. >> TRUST ME?

>> HE IS GOING TO WALK IN HERE. >> HELLO, JOHN.

>> HELLO. >> I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

>> I KNOW WHERE TO START. >> Kelly: ALL RIGHT, IT IS A

PLEASURE TO WELCOME KEVIN COSTNER, HEY, WHAT IS UP,

KEVIN? >> Kevin: HI.

>> Kelly: FIRST OF ALL, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, YOU HAVE SEVEN

KIDS, WHICH IS A LOT. WHAT DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY BIG PLANS

PLANS? >> Kevin: NO.

EVERYBODY IS SPREAD OUT. THE THREE LITTLEST ONES ARE AT

HOME, AND SO, THE PLANS ARE WE JUST KIND OF CARRY ON.

IT'S TOO EMBARRASSING TO ASK FOR SOMETHING WHEN I FEEL LIKE I

HAVE SO MUCH. >> Kelly: EVERYBODY ALWAYS

ASKS ME FOR GIFTS, AND MIKE, CAN YOU DONATE TO SOME THING.

I DO NOT NEED ANY MORE TO MARIE KONDO OUT OF MY LIFE.

HAVE YOU SEEN FAMILY? ARE THEY COMING IN AND OUT?

BECAUSE IF I AM IN YOUR FAMILY, I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO TRY TO

QUARANTINE AT THAT HOUSE YOU ARE AT RIGHT NOW.

>> THAT WAS THE MOVE THAT HAD TO HAPPEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO,

BUT I HAVE ENOUGH PLACE WHERE THEY CAN COME AND DROP IN AND

VISIT. BUT IT IS JUST THE FIVE OF US

RIGHT HERE. >> Kelly: RIGHT ON.

YOU HAVE LITTLE ONES, HAS THAT BEEN HARD KEEPING THEM BUSY AND

OCCUPIED? BECAUSE I HAVE LITTLE ONES AS

WELL. >> Kevin: THE 13, 11, AND TEN,

AND THEY GO RIGHT OUT THERE AND GO RIGHT OFF THE PROPERTY INTO

THE WATER AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANYONE.

SO THEY REALLY HAVE -- IT IS QUITE A BLESSING THAT THEY HAVE

BEEN ABLE TO GET OUTSIDE AND REFLECT A LITTLE BIT IF YOU

WILL. THEY TORTURE EACH OTHER A LITTLE

BIT, BUT THEN WHEN THEY GET OUT THERE, THEY BECOME THEMSELVES

AND THEY GET OUT WITH THEIR MOM AND GO SURFING AND STUFF.

BUT THEY DID THEIR SCHOOLWORK, THE FAMILY TURNED INTO A TEAM.

THAT'S WHAT HAD TO HAPPEN. >> Kelly: EVERYBODY WAS A

TEACHER OVERNIGHT, AND THEN WE REALIZED WHY WE SHOULD PAY THEM

MORE. ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL, WE HAVE TO

TAKE A QUICK BREAK. WE WILL HAVE MORE WITH

KEVIN COSTNER IN 60 SECONDS. ♪♪ ♪♪

♪♪♪♪ IT SEEMS LIKE THE RAIN MIGH LAST FOREVER ♪♪

♪♪ AND THE NIGHT MIGHT NEVER END ♪♪

♪♪ BUT I KNOW ENOUGH TO REMEMBER REMEMBER ♪♪

♪♪ THE SUN STILL WILL RISE AGAIN ♪♪♪♪

>> Kelly: HEY, GUYS, THAT WAS A LOOK FOR THE MUSIC VIDEO OF

"THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN," SO MADE QUARANTINE YOU RELEASED A

MUSIC VIDEO WITH YOUR BAND MODERN WEST.

SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THAT YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT SINGER, BUT

I ACTUALLY FOUND THAT OUT YEARS AGO AT THIS FIGHT NIGHT THING

THAT WE ALL WENT TO. AND YOU ARE REALLY GREAT, I WAS

LIKE THIS IS ALMOST UPSETTING THAT YOU ARE THIS TALENTED AT

MANY THINGS. WAS THERE A REASON -- I LOVE THE

MUSIC THAT YOU DO AND HOW RAW AND HONEST IT IS.

IS THERE A REASON THAT YOU WANTED TO RELEASE MODERN WEST

NOW? >> THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON

WHY DO ANYTHING. I'M NOT SURE WHY PUT ON THE

STOCKS I HAVE ON TODAY. BUT THE BAND HAS BEEN TOGETHER

FOR ABOUT 16 YEARS AND ABOUT -- WHEN I DID THE McCOYS, I LET

MY BAND IN ON EVERYTHING AND WE WOULD PLAY, THAT'S WHEN WE ENDED

UP RIDING MUSIC. AND WE WOULD WRITE ABOUT TO THE

McCOYS. AND THAT ALBUM WAS CALLED FAMOUS

FOR KILLING EACH OTHER. AND THAT WAS A VERY APPELLATION

SOUND. VERY DARK RECORD, YOU MIGHT

ENJOY IT. AND A LOT OF LYRICAL SONGS JUST

STREET MUSICAL THEMES THAT HIGHLIGHT THE MOOD OF THAT DARK,

DARK PERIOD, WHICH INCIDENTALLY WAS VERY SIMPLE.

IN THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH "YELLOWSTONE," THE BAND COMES

OUT AND WE HANG TOGETHER AND WE WRITE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS AND

IT HELPS ME FALL INTO MY CHARACTER WHEN THERE IS THE

FIRST SONG, I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS THE FIRST SONG OR NOT, BUT I

THINK IT IS ABOUT WON'T STOP LOVING YOU, AND ON THE SHOW I

HAVE LOST MY WIFE. AND THAT SONG IS ABOUT MY

INABILITY TO LET GO OF HER. LET GO OF THAT LOVE.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE THAT SONG CAME FROM, SO IF YOU LISTEN TO

THE LYRICS AND THE SONG, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HOW I CLIMB INTO MY

ROLE, AND THERE ARE SONGS ABOUT MY DAUGHTER AND SONGS ABOUT

CASEY, MY FEELINGS GOING INTO IT IT.

YOU KNOW, THE POISON IN MY HEART HEART, AND THE LAND THAT I CALL

HOME. IT'S IN AN REPENTING PERSON.

I DID THAT SONG A CAPPELLA, AND PUT THE MUSIC BEHIND IT, IT WE

HAVE RECORDED 80 SONGS OVER TIME, AND I BREAK ALL THE TIES

IN THE BAND. I'M NOT THE BEST SONGWRITER IN

THE BAND, BUT IT HAS TO GET OVER A BAR FOR ME.

AND THAT'S HOW I MAKE THE DECISIONS.

>> Kelly: THAT IS AMAZING. IT IS REALLY COOL.

ONE THING I WAS GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS I HAVE PERFORMED AT

THE OPRY, THE BUILDING FOR SEVERAL THINGS, BUT NEVER THE

GRAND OLD OPRY, EVERYBODY THINKS THAT I'M A COUNTRY SINGER.

I'M A POP SINGER. BUT I KNOW THAT YOU DID.

YOU HAVE PERFORMED THERE A FEW TIMES.

AND SINGING IN THAT ROOM IS LIKE SOMETHING ELSE.

THE ACOUSTICS, JUST THE HISTORY OF IT.

IT IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL MOMENT. AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS HOW YOU

FELT WHENEVER -- I THINK YOU HAVE PERFORMED THERE A FEW

TIMES, RIGHT? >> THREE TIMES, WE HAVE BEEN AT

THE RYMAN, AND THEN THE NEWMAN. AND THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME

NOW AND I GUESS A MILLION PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING OR WHATEVER,

THAT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST.

AND I THINK THAT I LOVE TO PLAY LIVE, AND I HAVE A CERTAIN

AMOUNT OF NERVES, THERE ARE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHERE

GUYS ESPECIALLY HAVE THEIR ARMS CROSSED, THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE,

AND I REALIZE I HAVE TO GET OVER THE HUMP.

I'M REALLY CONFIDENT THAT THE MUSIC WILL RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE

IT IS ABOUT THE MUSIC. SO I HAVE MY NORMAL BUTTERFLIES

GOING OUT THERE, BUT THAT QUICKLY EVAPORATES ONCE THE

MUSIC STARTS. I DEPEND ON THE MUSIC.

BUT WHEN I PLAY AT THE GRAND OLD OPRY, THERE A LOT OF NERVES.

IF I FELT THAT WAY BEFORE EVERY PERFORMANCE WHEN I PLAY, AND I

HAVE PLAYED AROUND THE WORLD, I WOULD NOT DO MUSIC.

I WOULD JUST DO IT AT HOME. I PUT IN AN ORDER AND AMOUNT OF

PRESSURE ON MYSELF WHEN I GO TO NASHVILLE, AND TWO OR THREE DAYS

BEFORE I AM NOT GREAT, THE DAY OR TWO AFTER I HAVE TO HEAR

ABOUT IT. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN FANTASTIC.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN REALLY GOOD, BUT I TELL YOU, THAT ONE KIND OF

WADES ME OUT. >> Kelly: I HAVE TO ASK THIS

ONE QUESTION, BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE SO MANY FILMS THAT

EVERYBODY, I IMAGINE EVERY TIME YOU GET STOPPED IT'S A DIFFERENT

FILM, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY THAT ARE JUST NOT JUST GREAT,

BUT HAVE SUCH A GREAT IMPACT ON HUMANITY.

OVERALL, WHETHER IT WAS A DEEPER THING OR A LIGHTER THING, OR

ANYWAY, ANY STORY. I'M CURIOUS WHAT YOUR FAVORITE

MOVIE TO DO WAS? I KNOW THAT HAS TO BE HARD

BECAUSE PEOPLE ASK THESE QUESTIONS, BUT EVERYBODY

THINKS -- I LOVE "THE BODYGUARD," BUT IT'S NOT MY

FAVORITE OF YOURS. AND IT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT ME,

I THINK MY FAVORITE IS CALLED "MR. BROOKS" AND YOU ARE A

SERIAL KILLER. I LOVED IT BECAUSE IT WAS SO OUT

OF POCKET AND I THOUGHT THE STORY WAS AMAZING IT WAS JUST

SOMETHING THAT WAS UNPREDICTABLE FOR ME WHEN I WATCHED IT.

BUT I WAS CURIOUS, WHICH ONE OF YOURS, WHAT IS ONE THAT STICKS

OUT IF IT IS ON YOU WILL KEEP ON AND NOT TURN OFF?

>> I DON'T DO THAT. I DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH MYSELF

ON THE SCREEN. >> Kelly: NOT EVEN IF IT HAS

BEEN YEARS? >> SOMETIMES THE KIDS WILL WALK

IN AND GO, THAT'S YOU. AND IT'S LIKE, NO, THEY WON'T

LET ME TURN IT OFF FOR A SECOND. AND THEN EVENTUALLY I KIND OF

HAVE TO WALK OUT OF THE ROOM. BUT WHAT I KNOW IN MY HEART IS

THAT WHEN YOU MAKE A MOVIE THERE IS A CHANCE FOR IT TO LIVE

FOREVER. AND IT LIVES FOREVER IF IT IS

FRESH AIR, IF IT CHALLENGES YOU, IF IT MAKES YOU LAUGH, IF IT

MAKES YOU CRY, IF IT SURPRISES YOU.

MUSIC'S HAVE ALL OF THOSE THINGS GOING FOR IT, AND WHAT THEY HAVE

IS ALSO THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL NEVER,

EVER FORGET. IT IS JUST HARD, MOVIES ARE NOT

EASY. SO IT'S HARD TO MAKE A GREAT

ONE. >> Kelly: I AGREE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME.

ONCE AGAIN, I WISH THAT I COULD BE ME UP SCOTTY TO WHERE YOU

ARE. BECAUSE IT IS WAY BETTER THAN

WHERE I AM AT. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING

THE TIME WITH US, KEVIN. EVERYONE "YELLOWSTONE" RETURNS

TO PARAMOUNT THIS SUNDAY. WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH

COMEDIAN NICOLE BYER. ♪♪ ♪♪

>> Kelly: WELCOME BACK, Y'ALL, MY NEXT GUEST IS A TALENTED

COMEDIAN AND ACTRESS WHOSE NEW BOOK "VERY FAT, VERY BRAVE" IS

OUT RIGHT NOW, AND SHE SHOULD ADD VERY FUNNY, BECAUSE SHE IS.

I LOVE HER. NICOLE BYER!

>> Nicole: HOW ARE YOU? >> Kelly: I LOVE THE FLOWERS

IN THE WHOLE VIBE BEHIND YOU. >> Nicole: THANK YOU, MY

ROOMMATE WHO IS ALSO A COMMUNITY AND DID THIS ALL WHILE I WAS

DOING MY MAKEUP. >> Kelly: IT IS SO GOOD.

I LOVE YOUR HAIR BY THE WAY TOO. >> Nicole: THANK YOU.

>> Kelly: YOU HAVE BEEN OUT ON THE FRONT LINES AT PROTESTS

RECENTLY, HAS NOT GIVEN YOU HOPED OR HAS IT DETERRED YOU?

I FEEL LIKE I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE AND THERE

ARE BEEN DIFFERENT KINDS OF PROTESTS IN DIFFERENT HAPPENINGS

AT EACH ONE, SO WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE?

>> IT MAKES ME FEEL HOPEFUL PERSONALLY BECAUSE THE PROTESTS

HAVE NOT STOPPED SINCE MAY, AND WE ARE NOW IN JUNE, AND I DON'T

SEE THEM SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING.

>> Kelly: IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR MOMENT THAT HAS STOOD

OUT FOR YOU SINCE MAY AND NOW WE ARE MOVING INTO JUNE?

>> Nicole: NO PARTICULAR MOMENTS, IT'S DEPRESSING TO WAKE

UP OPEN TWITTER AND GO OH, OKAY, SOMETHING ELSE IS DEAD.

I DON'T KNOW IF THINGS WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL.

AT LEAST NOT FOR BLACK PEOPLE. WE TALK ABOUT IT AD NAUSEAM HIM.

I TALK ABOUT IT IN MY STAND UP. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS LIKE

A GOING BACK. IF YOU ARE NOT RADICALIZED FOR

FOREVER, YOU ARE A PART OF THE PROBLEM.

AND I ENCOURAGE A LOT OF WHITE PEOPLE TO READ "WHITE FRAGILITY"

IT IS A WONDERFUL BOOK THAT TRULY BREAKS DOWN WHY WHITE

PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE AND WHY THEIR DISCOMFORT

SEEMS TO TAKE PRESENT OVERLEARNING.

>> Kelly: AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN NOTICE IT.

THEY DON'T SEE IT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

IF YOU ARE IN IT YOU DON'T EVEN SEE IT A LOT SOMETIMES.

AND IT'S NOT UNTIL YOU LISTEN AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS WHERE YOU

SEE THE DIFFERENCE AND YOU HEAR THE DIFFERENCE THAT YOU ACTUALLY

GO, OKAY. I THINK THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM

ABOUT IT IS THE IGNORANCE. I THINK EDUCATING ONESELF IS

PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW OTHER

THAN LISTENING. WE HAVE -- I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW

TO SWITCH SUBJECTS, BUT I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET A LITTLE BIT

LIGHTER, THERE IS NO SEGWAY, NICOLE.

I'M NOT THAT CLEVER. I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT, BECAUSE

I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE PROTESTED DURING QUARANTINE, BUT WE HAVE

ALL BEEN DOING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS AND WE WOULD

HAVE EVER DONE BEFORE HAND JUST TO STAY SANE.

BECAUSE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING GOING ON, THERE IS JUST A LOT OF

EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTERS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

AND FOR ME I HAVE STARTED DOING THINGS THAT I'VE NEVER DONE

BEFORE. NEVER HAD TIME FOR.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING DURING QUARANTINE

THAT YOU NEVER DID BEFORE THAT YOU ARE LIKE, SURE, WHY NOT?

>> Nicole: WHEN I WAS A KID I REMEMBER ROLLER-SKATING, BUT I

DON'T REMEMBER LIKE ROLLER-SKATING.

SO I WAS LIKE, I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO ROLLER-SKATE.

SO I'VE BEEN LEARNING HOW TO ROLLER-SKATE.

>> Kelly: THAT IS AMAZING! >> Nicole: THINK YOU!

I SCRAPED MY KNEE TWO DAYS AGO. BECAUSE I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A

MERCY TO USE. AND I WAS LIKE, GOD FORBID.

>> Kelly: I WILL TAKE MY KNEE OUT BEFORE THAT CAR.

>> Nicole: AND THEN I HAVE BEEN POLE DANCING.

>> Kelly: THAT IS HARD! >> Nicole: YES, IT IS SO HARD.

I DID A CLASS ON SUNDAY AND I AM SO SORRY.

>> Kelly: I AM TOO HEAVY FOR THAT.

I CANNOT HOLD MYSELF UP. HIS >> Nicole: I AM MUCH

BIGGER THAN YOU AND I CAN. >> Kelly: I AM JUST TELLING

YOU FROM MY EXPERIENCE I WAS LIKE, NO, THIS AD BEHIND IS NOT

FOR THIS. IT IS HARD!

IF YOU CAN DO THAT, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!

>> Nicole: I LOVE IT SO MUCH BECAUSE IT IS A TANGIBLE THING

WHERE YOU ARE LIKE I COULD NOT DO THIS YESTERDAY, BUT I CAN.

>> Kelly: AND IT MAKES YOU FEEL SEXY.

I IMAGINE IT MAKES YOU FEEL SEXY WHEN YOU ARE DOING IT WELL.

I WOULD NOT KNOW. FIRST HAND.

>> Nicole: I WOULD NOT KNOW EITHER, I AM VERY MEDIOCRE.

>> Kelly: MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I WAS DRINKING WHEN I TRIED IT,

BUT IT WAS NOT GOOD. NICOLE, I LOVE YOUR BOOK TOO, I

HAVE YOUR BOOK, BECAUSE I LOVE IT.

I THINK IT IS AMAZING. THAT'S ONE THING THAT I LOVE

ABOUT YOU IS THAT YOU ARE SO HONEST AND IN A FUNNY WAY.

YOU ARE LIKE, THIS ISN'T. YOUR BOOK IS CALLED VERY FAT,

VERY BRAVE." AND I'M AWARE OF WHERE THAT

TITLE COMES FROM BECAUSE I AM A FAN OF YOURS, BUT FOR EVERYBODY

THAT DOES NOT KNOW, WHY DID YOU TITLE AT THAT?

>> Nicole: WHEN A FAT WOMAN POST ON THE INTERNET A PICTURE

OF THEMSELVES IN A BIKINI OR SOMETHING VERY REVEALING, THE

INTERNET GOES MY GOD! YOU ARE SO BRAVE!

WHICH IS A FULLY INSANE THING TO BE LIKE, SOMEBODY WHO IS WEARING

A BATHING SUIT TO GO SWIMMING IS BRAVE, NO, THEY ARE WEARING THE

CORRECT ARTICLE OF CLOTHING TO DO AN ACTIVITY.

>> Kelly: IT IS ALMOST INSULTING.

THEY'RE LIKE OH, YOU'RE SO CONFIDENT COMING YOU DON'T CARE.

AND I'M LIKE WHAT? >> Nicole: I AM LIKE I SPENT

HOURS -- >> Kelly: I CARE ABOUT THINGS,

MAYBE NOT THINGS THAT YOU FIND IMPORTANT.

BUT I WAS LIKE LET'S NOT WRITE ME OFF LIKE THAT.

IT'S FUNNY HOW THEY ARE LIKE YOU ARE SO CONFIDENT.

I'M LIKE I'M NOT CONFIDENT, AND JUST BEING.

>> Nicole: IT IS SO FRUSTRATING.

SO IT IS TONGUE-IN-CHEEK. I DON'T THINK I AM BRAVE, BUT I

WOULD LOVE TO MEET SOMEBODY WHO IS LIKE SHE THINK SHE'S BRAVE

FOR BEING IN A BIKINI! I WANT TO MEET THAT PERSON.

>> Kelly: WENT TO HAVE COFFEE WITH THAT PERSON.

WELL YOU HAVE A WAY OF DEALING WITH HATERS AND I WANT YOU TO

TELL PEOPLE WHAT THAT IS. >> Kevin: I HAVE SO MANY

DIFFERENT WAYS. IT'S GOING TO HAVE A PARTICULAR

FAVORITE. A >> Nicole: WHAT IS YOUR

FAVORITE? >> Kelly: I LIKE WHENEVER YOU

SAY THAT TOO -- BECAUSE THIS IS MY THING THAT I ALWAYS SAY AND

WHY RELATE TO IT. DO YOU HAVE THAT MUCH TIME TO

SIT AT HOME AND LIKE RAIL ON ME RIGHT NOW?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU. I WANT YOUR LIFE IF YOU HAVE

THAT KIND OF TIME. I'M SORRY THAT YOUR LIFE IS SO

LITTLE THAT YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT ME OVER HERE.

>> Nicole: I LIKE THAT ONE TOO TOO, THE ONE THAT I LIKE IS IF

SOMEBODY CALLS YOU A COW COMING YOU JUST TURN AROUND AND MOO AT

THEM. >> Kelly: I LOVE THAT.

NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE A NEW BOOK, BUT YOU HAVE A SHOW ABOUT BAKING

AND A PODCAST ABOUT "STAR WARS." AS AN HOMAGE TO BOTH I WAS

HOPING THAT YOU WOULD STICK AROUND FOR A GAME CALLED PLANET

OR PASTRY. WE ARE STUCK INSIDE DOING

NOTHING. >> Nicole: YEAH, WE HAVE

NOWHERE TO GO. >> Kelly: THE BAR IS LOW,

NICOLE. GREAT.

WE WILL BE BACK TO PLAY PLANET OR PASTRY.

♪♪ ♪♪

♪♪ ♪♪ >> Kelly: ALL RIGHT, GUYS, I

AM BACK. HANGING WITH A VERY FUNNY

NICOLE BYER, AND I WILL BE COMPLETELY HONEST, I THOUGHT MY

PICTURE WAS ON YOUR WALL BUT I DID NOT WANT TO BE LIKE THE TOOL

I AM ON YOUR WALL, YOU ARE HILARIOUS.

I AM ON YOUR WALL! >> Nicole: I DID NOT DO IT

PAIRED MY ROOMMATE DID IT. HE DID EVERYTHING.

HE DID THE FLOWERS, HE PUT A PICTURE OF ME UP THERE.

THIS IS WHERE YOU SEE THE FLOWERS.

AREN'T THEY PRETTY. >> Kelly: FLOWERS ALIKE --

THAT MAKES ME HAPPY, I LIKE FLOWERS AROUND.

SOMETIMES LIFE IS SAD AND DARK. OKAY, I LOVE THE INTERIOR

DESIGN. GIVE MY COMPLIMENTS.

BUT BEFORE WE PLAY "PLANET OR PASTRY" TELL ME ABOUT YOUR

"STAR WARS" PODCAST AND WHY YOU STARTED IT?

>> Nicole: LAUREN GASKET IS AND I HAVE A PODCAST CALLED

NEWCOMERS WHERE WE WATCH "STAR WARS" FOR THE FIRST TIME

AND IT HAPPENED BECAUSE THIS MAN ON TWITTER OR A WOMAN I DON'T

KNOW WHO WAS LIKE YOU SHOULD DO A PODCAST ON "STAR WARS,"

NEITHER ONE OF YOU HAS SEEN IT. AND WE WERE LIKE, OH, I GUESS

THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN. WHY NOT.

AND LET ME TELL YOU, IT HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING RIDE, BECAUSE

THESE MOVIES ARE NOT GREAT! >> Kelly: OH, MY GOD!

>> Nicole: THEN YOU TALK ABOUT IT WAS SOMEONE WHO LOVES THE

MOVIES. >> Kelly: I THINK YOU ARE

ALONE ON AN ISLAND, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE.

BUT IN HONOR OF YOUR PODCAST AND NICOLE'S NETFLIX BAKING

COMPETITION SHOW "NAILED IT," IT IS TIME TO PLAY "PLANET OR

PASTRY." ALL RIGHT, SO HERE'S HOW IT

WORKS. MY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ALEX WILL

TYPE A WORD TO ME AND NICOLE AND THAT WORD IS EITHER A PLANET IN

"STAR WARS" OR A PASTRY ON EARTH.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THESE, I PROMISE.

I DON'T CHEAT. WE HAVE TO GUESS WHICH ONE IS

WHICH AND IF WE GET AT LEAST 3 OUT OF 5 RIGHT, NICOLE AND I

EACH WIN A DELICIOUS PASTRY. YOU BETTER WIN IT, BECAUSE MAMA

LIKES THE PASTRY. WHAT'S FIRST?

OH, IT IS PRONOUNCED CORSON? YOU THINK IT IS A PLANET?

>> Nicole: I'M GOING TO SAY PLANET.

>> Kelly: I'M GOING TO GO WITH YOU, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, AND

YOU HAVE SEEN "STAR WARS" FARMER RECENTLY THEN I.

PLANET! MADE ENTIRELY OF A CITY HOME TO

1 TRILLION CITIZENS THAT SERVES AS THE IMPERIAL CENTER.

YES, NICOLE! WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS THAT

PASTRY. ALL RIGHT.

WHAT IS THE NEXT ONE? MOROCOPE?

>> Nicole: I THINK IT IS A PASTRY.

>> Kelly: I AM HORRIBLE AT THIS IF YOU ARE RIGHT.

YOU ARE GOING TO SAY PASTRY. WHAT THE HECK?

AND WHY WOULD I WANT TO EAT OF PASTRY CALLED MORICOPE.

OH, MY GOD, IT IS A PASTRY! A CREAM PUFF FILLED WITH

WHIP CREAM GLAZED WITH CHOCOLATE, OKAY, TURNS OUT I DO

WANT TO EAT A MORICOPE. HERE'S THE NEXT ONE.

OKAY, THIS ONE IS PRONOUNCED HUMCOOLER.

>> Kelly: I'M GOING TO SAY PLANET.

>> Nicole: I'M GOING TO SAY PASTRY.

>> Kelly: IT IS A PASTRY. YOU ARE SO GOOD AT THIS!

>> Nicole: I'M NOT GOOD AT THIS.

I AM FULLY CHEATING. MY ROOMMATE IS SITTING RIGHT

HERE. >> Kelly: OH, MY GOSH!

WELL, YOUR ROOMMATE IS AMAZING. MY ASSISTANT IS NOT HELPING ME

AT ALL. OKAY IT IS A DANISH RUMBLE.

THERE IS ALCOHOL IN IT? I AM INTO THIS.

MAN, THOSE DANISH PEOPLE, THEY CAN MAKE A PASTRY!

ARE THERE ANY MORE? THERE IS ONE MORE.

OKAY, THIS IS CALLED A CASHIC. I'M GOING TO SAY PLANET.

>> Nicole: PLANET. >> Kelly: HE IS INVITED TO

EVERY GAME NIGHT EVER. >> Nicole: I DON'T KNOW HOW

YOU KNOW ALL OF THIS. >> Kelly: HOW DO YOU KNOW

THIS? IT IS A PLANET.

FOREST PLANET, HOME TO WOOKIES LIKE CHEWBACCA.

I LOVE CHEWBACCA. OKAY, THIS IS THE LAST ONE.

THAT WAS A GOOD ONE. OKAY.

THIS IS PRONOUNCED QUJIM. I'M GOING TO GO PASTRY.

>> Nicole: I'M GOING TO GO PLANET.

>> Kelly: FREAKING, JOHN! >> Kelly: IT IS A PASTRY!

I GOT ONE RIGHT, IN-YOUR-FACE! OUT OF HOW MANY WE HAVE DONE.

IT IS A BRAZILIAN, I LIKE A CUSTARD.

BAKED CUSTARD WITH EGG YOLK AND COCONUT.

I AM IN. MY MOUTH IS WATERING.

WHAT ARE YOU BRINGING IN? IS THAT WHAT IT IS?

OH! I JUST GOT ONE.

OH, MY GOD! YOU DID NOT GET ONE?

THIS IS NOT ON THE PLAN, BUT IT IS REAL DELICIOUS.

>> Nicole: OH, THIS IS GOOD. >> Kelly: WE KIND OF SUCKED,

BUT YOUR FRIEND JOHN IS AMAZING. JOHN WINS.

>> Nicole: JOHN, YOU WIN! >> Kelly: YOU ARE AMAZING,

JOHN. NICOLE'S NEW BOOK IS OUT RIGHT

NOW! LET ME GET IT UP THERE!

TRYING TO DO THEIR BEST TO COPE WITH HOW THE PANDEMIC HAS

SUCH POSITIVITY. HERE'S THEIR STORY.

>> HI, KELLY! OUR LOVE STORY IS AN EPISODE

STRAIGHT OUT OF "90 DAY FIANCE." >> I SAW HER AND I KNEW THAT SHE

WAS THE ONE. WE STARTED TALKING.

>> WE DATED LONG DISTANCE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND ULTIMATELY WE

FELL IN LOVE. WE KNEW THAT WE WERE IN LOVE,

AND WE JUST WENT WITH HER HEART, AND I THINK IT IS THE BEST

DECISION THAT WE EVER MADE. ♪♪ ♪♪

NOW WE HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL KIDS, OUR DAUGHTER AND OUR SON.

♪♪ ♪♪ I WORK FOR A LARGE HOTEL COMPANY

COMING IN RIGHT AFTER WE GOT MARRIED, HE STARTED WORKING FOR

THAT SAME COMPANY, AND HIS VERY FIRST JOB WAS IN HOUSEKEEPING.

SO HERE WE ARE YEARS LATER AND COVID-19 HIT.

WE WERE HIT VERY HARD IN THE HOTEL HAD A CLOSE.

WE STOPPED WORKING IN MARCH AND HAVE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING

POSSIBLE TO STAY AFLOAT AND KEEP PROVIDING FOR OUR CHILDREN.

WE EXHAUSTED OUR SAVINGS, AM RIGHT NOW WE ARE TWO MONTHS

BEHIND ON OUR MORTGAGE. WE ARE WORRIED, YOU KNOW, WE ARE

CONCERNED ABOUT OUR HOME AND OUR FINANCES, BUT WE HAVE FAITH THAT

WE ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS TOUGH TIME TOGETHER.

>> Kelly: ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL, WE HAVE THEM ON THE LINE RIGHT NOW!

ARE YOU THERE? >> HI, KELLY!

>> Kelly: HELLO, WHAT A GREAT LOVE STORY.

SO GREAT, CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR

RELATIONSHIP. >> SO ONCE HE CAME TO THE U.S.,

THERE WERE A LOT OF PAPERWORK INVOLVED WHEN WE FIRST CAME

OVER. SO WE ARE SO TRYING TO GET

EVERYTHING DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THAT HE CAN GET TO

WORK AND ESSENTIALLY START OUR LIVES.

WHEN HE FIRST CAME, WE APPLIED FOR THE WORKER'S PERMIT AND THE

SOCIAL SECURITY, AND FOUR MONTHS LATER HE WAS ABLE TO GET TO

WORK. SO I WORK IN THE HOSPITALITY

INDUSTRY AND HE WAS ABLE TO SECURE A JOB IN THE SAME HOTEL

COMPANY THAT I WORK FOR IT. AND BASICALLY IT WAS KIND OF

FUNNY, BECAUSE WHEN HE FIRST CAME AT THE TIME I WAS SECURING

OUR RENTAL LEASE AND I DID NOT HAVE IT YET, BUT WE ACTUALLY

LIVE IN THE HOTEL THAT I WORKED AT FOR LIKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS

UNTIL IT STARTED, SO WE HAVE ALL OF THE STORIES ABOUT HOW HE

ENDED UP WORKING WHERE WE INITIALLY STARTED LIVING, AND SO

WE GOT OUR FIRST APARTMENT. SO WE GOT OUR APARTMENT AND

AFTER THE APARTMENT WHEN WE HAD A LEAH, WE RENTED A HOUSE FOR

LIKE THREE YEARS. SO WE RENTED OUR HOUSE FINALLY

IN THE FALL OF 2017. SO THE FIRST FOUR YEARS WE WERE

RENTING AND SAVING UP, AND THEN AFTER THAT WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST

HOME AND WE HAVE BEEN HERE -- WE ARE COMING UP THREE YEARS NOW.

>> Kelly: IT IS SUCH AN AMERICAN DREAM KIND OF STORY.

I LOVE THAT. SO WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING

SINCE YOU LOST YOUR JOBS? HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP?

>> I HAVE TO TELL YOU, LIKE BECAUSE WE HAVE EACH OTHER, I

KNOW IT SOUNDS CHEESY, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT YOU CAN

TALK THROUGH THINGS WITH, NO MATTER WHAT YOU FACE IN LIFE,

THAT HELPS SO MUCH. SO WE HAVE BEEN -- IT HAS BEEN

HARD, BUT WE HAVE BEEN STAYING POSITIVE AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND

DOING THE BEST THAT WE CAN WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE ARE FACED

WITH. THE KIDS, IT IS LIKE THEY DON'T

EVEN KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. SO SHE IS SIX YEARS OLD, AND

MANNING'S FOUR, SO YOU KNOW, YOU PUT ON A BRAVE FACE FOR THEM,

THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING

THROUGH. AND HE IS SO AWESOME AND IN THE

HOUSE, LIKE HE IS LIKE THE HANDYMAN, WHEN HE CAME, HE HAD

NO IDEA HOW TO USE ANY TOOLS AT ALL, SO IT IS SO FUNNY, BECAUSE

WE WOULD GO ON YOUTUBE TO LOOK THINGS UP, AND SO DURING THIS

TIME I WAS LIKE, OKAY, WE HAVE TO TACKLE ALL OF THE ITS HOME

IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, SO YOU BETTER LEARN.

SO HE HAS BEEN DOING ALL OF THE STUFF AROUND THE HOUSE.

AND IT HAS BEEN A BLESSING. AS TOUGH AS IT HAS BEEN FOR US,

AND I KNOW A LOT OF FAMILIES, IT HAS ALSO BEEN A BLESSING,

BECAUSE IT IS LIKE THE GIFT OF TIME.

YOU HAVE ALL OF THIS TIME THAT YOU NORMALLY DON'T HAVE BECAUSE

YOU ARE ALWAYS WORKING. NOW WE ARE HOME AND WE ARE

TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST OF THE TIME AT HOME.

YOU KNOW? >>>> TO WHAT I DO IS I DON'T WAN

MY KIDS TO FEEL LIKE, OH, I CAN GO OUTSIDE, I CAN -- I TRY TO

MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE HAPPY, SO SOMETIMES WE PLAY IN THE

BACKYARD AND WE CAN DO ANYTHING IN OUR POWER TO KEEP HAPPY.

>> Kelly: YEAH, WELL, WE HAVE A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU, JUNE

IS NATIONAL HOMEOWNERS MONTH, AND WE KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORK TO

ACHIEVE THE AMERICAN DREAM, AND WE WENT TO HELP YOU KEEP AND

MAINTAIN THAT. SO WE ARE COVERING YOUR MORTGAGE

FOR THE REST OF 2020 SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE SO POSITIVE AND MAYBE YOU ARE

TRYING NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT AND JUST GO DAY BY DAY, WHICH I

THINK IT'S VERY SMART FOR YOUR HEAD AND YOUR HEART, BUT WE JUST

WANTED TO DO THAT FOR YOU SO THAT IT IS ONE LESS THING TO

WORRY ABOUT. OH, I AM GOING TO TOTALLY CRY.

AND YOUR STORY -- JUST SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY STORIES

OUT THERE JUST LIKE YOU, AND WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT Y'ALL, WE WANT

TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT ALTHOUGH YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A

TOUGH TIME LIKE THIS, EVEN THIS ENTIRE INTERVIEW YOU HAVE SUCH A

POSITIVE OUTLOOK AND THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR

YOU, BUT FOR YOUR KIDS. >> WE APPRECIATE IT.

THAT IS SO GENEROUS, AND WE JUST FEEL REALLY BLESSED, BECAUSE WE

KNOW THAT THEY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THE SAME

SITUATION THAT WE ARE, AND IT IS JUST A HUGE HELP FOR US, AND AS

WE ARE NAVIGATING WHAT THE REST OF THE YEAR LOOKS LIKE.

>> Kelly: ONE LESS THING ON YOUR PLATE, THAT'S WHAT WE WERE

TRYING TO DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU ARE JUST A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE IN A SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHERE WE

SHOULD AIM TO BE MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY.

SO THINK YOU GUYS FOR SHARING YOUR STORY AND I HOPE THAT

HELPS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, IT WILL.

>> Kelly: THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK,

GRAB YOUR COCKTAIL SHAKER, WE ARE MIXING UP THE OFFICIAL DRINK

OF THE SUMMER STAYCATION CELEBRATION.

IT WILL BE GOOD. ♪♪ ♪♪

>> Kelly: WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.

THE SUMMER STAYCATION CELEBRATION CONTINUES AND THERE

IS ONE THING EVERY CELEBRATION NEEDS, PEOPLE, IT IS A COCKTAIL.

A REALLY GOOD COCKTAIL, SO I REACHED OUT TO MY FRIENDS WHO

ACTUALLY LITERALLY EVERY PARTY I HAVE THROWN IN NASHVILLE THEY

HAVE BARTENDED AND COME UP WITH THESE AMAZING DRINKS.

THERE YOU MASTER MIXOLOGISTS WHO RUN FOR CASE AND THE FESTIVAL AS

WELL. I ASKED THEM TO WHIP UP A SUMMER

DRINK FOR OUR STAYCATION, SO HEY, GUYS, WHAT'S UP?

I MISS YOUR DRINKS! I MISS NASHVILLE!

THAT'S OKAY! >> WE MISS YOU IN NASHVILLE!

>> Kelly: WE ASKED YOU TO CREATE THE PERFECT SUMMER

STAYCATION COCKTAIL, LET'S GET STARTED.

TELL US WHAT WE ARE MAKING. >> WE ARE OUT OF THE TIKI CANON

OF CLASSIC TIKI DRINKS. WE ARE USING THAT AS AN

INSPIRATION, BUT WE HAVE ELEVATED IT TO I THINK A

BOUTIQUE STATUS AND WE HAVE AN UNEDGED SOUTH AMERICAN BRANDY

WHICH IS A MORE RARE STYLE OF RUM AND WE WILL MIX THAT WITH

LIME JUICE AND HONEY BUTTER, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE.

>> Kelly: ANYWAY, ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT.

>> THIS IS A VERY BEACHY COCKTAIL AND IT COMES OFF

SOMETHING LIKE A PINA COLADA OR A MAI TAI IF YOU HAVE --

SOMETHING IN THAT FAMILY TREE, RIGHT?

>> AND I CAN IMAGINE, JOHN. HOW DO YOU PUT IT ALL TOGETHER?

HOW DO YOU DO IT? >> FIRST THING WE WILL DO AN

OUNCE AND A HALF AND THEN TWO OF OUR HONEY BUTTER BATTER, AND

THAT IS THE SOUND. MIX HONEY AND BUTTER TOGETHER

AND YOU WILL BE SWIMMING FROM THE TREES.

>> IF IT IS TOO THICK, YOU CAN SEND IT OUT WITH SOME RUM.

>> Kelly: OR YOU CAN WORK IT OUT AND GET OVER IT.

>> I WILL MEASURE THIS OUT. >> Kelly: MY MOUTH IS

WATERING, Y'ALL, WOW. >> AND THEN A SLIGHTLY MORE

AWARE STYLE OF RUM, THAT'S IT. I'M JUST GOING TO POUR IT IN,

FOUR INGREDIENTS. YOU CAN MAKE A PICTURE OF THIS.

>> Kelly: YOU HAD A FINISHED COCKTAIL SENT TO ME WHICH IS SO

SWEET AND SOUTHERN AND I LOVE IT.

LET'S DO A VIRTUAL POST, THIS IS THE GREATEST THING THAT YOU HAVE

EVER HANDED ME. OKAY.

VIRTUAL TOAST, CHEERS! ALL RIGHT, COME HERE WE GO!

OH, MY GOSH, DID YOU TASTE THIS? IT IS SO GOOD.

>> EVERY TIKI DRINK NEEDS A UMBRELLA.

>> AND IF WE DO A POOL PARTY, WE CAN LIGHT IT ON FIRE.

THERE IS NO END TO TELL HOW YOU PRESENT THIS.

>> Kelly: YOU ARE SO FUN. YOU MAKE EVERY PARTY 100%

COOLER. AND IT MAKES IT FUN.

AND IT ALWAYS TASTES LIKE SO SPECIAL, AND THE WORLD BOUTIQUE

IS SO PERFECT. YOU ARE AMAZING AT THIS.

AND I AM HORRIBLE AT THIS. SO THANK YOU FOR EXISTING, AND

THANK YOU FOR THIS. >> THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR

SUPPORT. >> Kelly: OH, MY GOSH, JASON

HALBERT HAS DONE A TON OF THINGS FOR ME AND MY CAREER, HE

INTRODUCED US. AND I LOVE HIM EVEN MORE FOR IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Y'ALL STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY IN

NASHVILLE, RIGHT! ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE TO TAKE A

BREAK. UP NEXT IS "WHAT I'M LIKING."

♪♪ ♪♪

>> Kelly: WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.

AS WE CONTINUE TO HONOR JUNETEENTH, WE ARE CLOSING THE

STORY WITH A STORY ABOUT ONE WOMAN COMPELLING WHAT RACISM IS.

THIS IS "WHAT I'M LIKING." WHEN KENNEDY, A WOMAN IN

ST. LOUIS LOOKED AT THE DEFINITION OF RACISM IN THE

MERRIAM WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY, SHE REALIZED IT WAS WAY OFF

BASE. SO SHE REACHED OUT TO THE

PUBLISHER WITH HER OBJECTIONS. LO AND BEHOLD, NOT ONLY DID SHE

HEAR BACK, THE MAKERS OF THE DICTIONARY AGREED WITH HER.

THEY WROTE HER SAYING A REVISION TO THE ENTRY RACISM IS NOW BEING

DRAFTED TO BE ADDED TO THE DICTIONARY SOON.

I MEAN, TALK ABOUT EFFECTING CHANGE.

LET'S GET HER ON THE LINE. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> I'M DOING GOOD, HOW ARE YOU? >> Kelly: I AM SITTING HERE

VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOU. TELL US ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE

CURRENT DEFINITION OF RACISM? >> RIGHT NOW THE DEFINITION NOW

STATES THAT IT IS THE BELIEF THAT RACE DETERMINES A PERSON'S

CAPABILITIES AND THAT THESE RACIAL DIFFERENCES MAKE ONE RACE

BETTER THAN ANOTHER, BUT IT IS JUST NOT THAT SIMPLE.

RACISM IS NOT JUST CALLING SOMEONE THE N-WORD, IT IS NOT A

DEROGATORY TERM, IT IS NOT JUST THINKING YOU ARE BETTER THAN

SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN.

YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE THE WORD SYSTEMIC WHEN DISCUSSING RACISM,

BECAUSE A HUGE PART OF RACISM IS PUTTING IN SYSTEMS THAT ARE IN

PLACE THAT ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP ONE RACE OF PEOPLE BEHIND.

>> Kelly: I AGREE COMPLETELY. HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN HE HEARD

BACK AND THEY ACTUALLY AGREE TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION SO

QUICKLY? USUALLY, I DON'T KNOW, SOMETIMES

PEOPLE DON'T EVEN TEXT YOU BACK, EMAIL YOU BACK, THE FACT THAT

NOT ONLY THEY GOT IN TOUCH WITH YOU BUT SAID, YOU ARE RIGHT.

I THINK -- I DON'T KNOW, IT GIVES ME HOPE.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT YOU, BUT IT GIVES ME HOPE THAT CHANGES

HAPPENING, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LISTENING.

AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART RIGHT NOW.

>> EXACTLY. >> Kelly: HOW DID YOU FEEL

WHEN THEY DID THAT? >> IT FELT LIKE A REALLY NICE

VICTORY IN LIEU OF A LOT OF CHAOS IN LIEU OF A LOT OF THINGS

THAT ARE SAD THAT ARE HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD.

AND A LOT OF THE SYSTEMS HE WOULD NOT EXPECT.

I JUST THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO GET MAY BE A SPAM REPLY FROM

THE DICTIONARY SAYING, YEAH, WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU ONE OF

THESE DAYS. IT WAS EXCITING THAT I FELT LIKE

MY VOICE WAS FINALLY BEING HEARD.

AND IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAT THEY ACTUALLY DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING

ABOUT IT. >> Kelly: AND IT IS

SOMETHING -- MAY BE SMALL TO OTHERS, BUT I DON'T THINK SO.

WORDS ARE VERY POWERFUL. AND THE MEANING OF THEM ARE EVEN

MORE POWERFUL, OBVIOUSLY. SO I AM LIKING YOUR POST RIGHT

NOW. THIS IS SUCH A GIGANTIC SAYING,

AND SUCH A SMALL WAY. I APPLAUD YOU FOR IT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, KENNEDY. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> Kelly: OF COURSE. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL

OF OUR GUEST TODAY, KEVIN COSTNER, NICOLE BYER, JOHN

AND LINDSAY, AND BE LIKE KENNEDY IF SOMETHING IS WRONG AND JUST

CHANGE IT! ♪♪ ♪♪
