- Los Angeles Dodgers, they won last night!
No, they didn't win last night.
They won the last World Series in 1988,
and they are getting another chance.
That's right, it's time for sports, sports, sports!
(whistle blowing)
(audience cheering)
Okay, tonight the Dodgers take on Tampa Bay Rays
for game one in the World Series.
It's gonna be thrilling and chilling to watch,
and people are asking, "Could it be a double, double?"
Two sports, same year, that's right,
because in 1988, Los Angeles won the NBA finals
and the World Series in the same year,
and the city's hoping to do it again.
So good luck Dodgers, but good luck Rays,
'cause we love you too!
And you know what?
Good luck umpires, yeah!
All right, I saw, I don't know that's my new, yeah, umpires!
(sighs)
It's due to Lynn, she's like, I've enveloped her spirit.
I saw this yesterday that made me so happy.
That's all you need to know.
Pugs are hurting cows.
Check out this viral video
that brought it to our attention in the "New York Post."
All right, that's Paisley and Tuff, moving on now.
They're moving the cows, oh in Seneca Ranch, in Oregon.
And if you have 15 pounds of pugnatious pug coming at you,
trust me, you'll move your cow butt.
All right, I've also, I have some very exciting
but upsetting information at the same time,
because Tabaholics, the "Wall Street Journal"
is reporting that Coca-Cola is finally retiring Tab.
(audience groaning)
I mean, you're probably thinking,
"Was it actually even around?"
You say, listen, Tab will be off the shelves
by the end of 2020.
And we have one Tabaholic here
who wants to pay her respects,
because it is an 80s drink, and Courtney, the American Doll,
from the 80s, is that you, Courtney?
(audience clapping)
Oh my God!
Court, you heard it, Tab, I mean, what's that?
Oh, you loved it as a tasty soda
that your mom says was good for her waistline and yours?
I'm not gonna lie, it was a little weird,
but despite that, I'm so sorry that we have to see it go.
Gosh, Courtney, what's next, Jolt cola?
God, it's just bad news!
Courtney, thanks for stopping by.
(audience cheering)
Okay, and finally you've seen the latest cover
of "New York" magazine.
It's one of the most powerful images this year.
And coincidentally, it was taken by an old friend of mine.
Please welcome photographer and my friend, Alexei Hay.
(audience clapping)
Hi! - Hey, girl, good to see ya.
- Alexei, you're so looking like such an artist.
- I'm coming to "Drew's News."
- (laughing) I'm so excited, oh God,
I think I still have Courtney voice, I'm sorry.
Actually, this is just me from California in the 80s.
This is what happens.
This cover, Alexei, thank you so much for coming on,
because I was so moved by it.
Tell me about what it was like to shoot this.
- I mean, I was just, I was in a single engine prop plane
in the back seat just trying not
to lose my lunch in my camera bag.
And I remember being up there.
I was so nervous and so nauseous from the vertigo
that I was barely able to shoot the picture.
But I kind of sensed that there was something
something like magnificent about being up there,
seeing the city in all its peace and vulnerability,
and it was like, I think that kinda added
to the whole sickness, the whole feeling of nausea.
It was kind of horrible and great and beautiful.
I knew it was go--
- I think you knew you were on the precipice
of shooting something incredibly important.
And this stopped me in my track.
I loved that you picked the words miss you too.
- Well, listen, I think what made it great is the context,
putting it on a magazine cover.
What this magazine did is a gesture of,
it's associative art.
It's not something that you immediately metabolize.
Covers usually have to say what they're about,
immediately, directly.
This is kind of weird.
You have to linger on it.
- It's a think piece. - Yeah.
- Can we show the "New Yorker" magazine cover
that you first shot when the pandemic started?
Because that's incredibly haunting.
That takes almost, that hits you right in the face.
- Right.
- Even though it's so desolate.
But, the thing that I really wanted to talk to you about
is how magazines can take advantage
of this unprecedented time and be poetic, think pieces,
because when I see lemonade or a fashion shoot,
it's just not resonating with me.
This magazine, "Quest," that is a magazine
from the upper, from New York.
It has a cover of them from the pandemic of 1918.
And you're like--
- Right, they're not selling clothes in there.
- And, but it's like, oh my God, we've been here before,
and we made it out.
And there was something so haunting
that I loved about this cover,
and I think the way that you took advantage
of this moment and gave something people to think about
and have a feeling about.
I'm such a die-hard magazine girl.
I still subscribe to everything.
I love paper, and Oprah did a cover
where she wasn't on the cover for the first time
in the entire history of "Oprah" magazine.
So, I mean, what do you want to do next?
I'm big, like you, on the print media.
I think that right now we're flooded with,
we're in the middle of a flood of media imagery,
all that kind of digital media.
And I think the more that we go back to that kind of stuff,
the more we're gonna be able to feed our brains
in a normal way.
And I think that what you're doing,
championing these things, it's like, you can sort of,
I consider you like a Noah in this flood.
You're creating an art.
"Drew's News" is a place where you can really take,
give a platform to people like "New York" magazine.
I think it's a, you're doing amazing things.
They really are, and thank you, Alexei,
for bringing this to our hearts and minds,
and that's what magazines are.
They're also journalistic integrity
as well as visually think pieces, a visual think pieces,
so thank you, Alexei, you're the best.
(upbeat music)
