Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I believe and I see You're born detrait. It's time
for Hollywood a Minute, brought to you this time around
by the new electric Instant games from Michigan Lottery. I'm
good morning, America. Gray's Anatomy star Eric Dane opened up
to Diane Sawyer about experiencing muscle weakness in his hand
over a year ago, which led to his als diagnosis.

(00:20):
Oh no, it took doctors nine months to diagnose him
with the disease, and he said his right side has
completely stopped working. My right side is completely completely stopped working.
And then your left arm, No, it's going. Yeah. I
feel like maybe a couple few more months and I

(00:42):
won't have my left and either. Ah, that's terrible.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
That's lu Garrig's right.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yes, yeah, and that's why I read as an ice
bucket challenge. And that's a terrible thing to get. Oh yeah,
you're trapped in your body. I mean you just can't
use anything at it. Oh my god. Ye right. Eventually,
he does continue to work and will as long as
he can, and calls his ex wife for Rebecca Gayheart,
his biggest supporter now. Despite the challenges, he says, I

(01:10):
don't feel like this is the end of me. What
I think is so crazy is he gets in depth
about the doctor's appointments that he went to. And you know,
he went to a neurologist who then referred him to
a different neurologist who then referred him to a different
hands specialist. I mean, he was bounced around. It's very
difficult to get a diagnosis. And that's for a guy
who probably has good health and health and money. Drake

(01:33):
got upset a Canadian politician for attending Kendrick Lamar's Toronto show.
The guy did apologize, but the Internet completely made fun
of Drake for continuing to look bad in his feud
with Kendrick, like, bro, you look like an idiot. You
can't go after people that go to shows now.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
So Drizzy has called all of Canada yes sibs on
Canada from.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Here at one Star Lewis Hamilton and was devastated after
hitting a groundhog during a race on Sunday. He said,
I'm so sad about it. It's horrible. It has never
happened to me before. I just hope it didn't suffer.
That's sweet and there's I mean, yeah, he cared, well,
can you? I mean I literally just narrowly didn't hit

(02:20):
a squirrel over the weekend. It came out of nowhere,
and thankfully I like last minute and I think everyone
made it. But bossoms and raccoons have been testing me
for the past week and a half. Every day it's
something just like you're gonna get hit.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
As long as we're talking about this though, I know
for a fact ducks and geese do not run out
in front of your car. They're probably already there long
before you came up on them. So when you run
over them, yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
You're seriously the worst. Yeah yeah right, they owned dart
in front of your car. And finally, Martha Stewart recently
rescued three orphans squirrels that she found on her firm
in March. She found them inside of fallen tree and
after making sure that the mom was not around, the
three squirrels were rescued. They were taken to wildlife rehabilitation

(03:06):
that who cared for them until they were released. The
girls were named Maple, Magnolia, and Oakley after Martha's trees.
