- First up,
(exhaling) some big news in science.
When we think of ancient times,
we all learned that there were set gender roles.
Man hunt beast,
women make baby.
Well, guess what?
USA Today reports that archeologists
are making a big correction,
because they just found the 9,000 year old remains
of a prehistoric woman,
buried with her big game hunting kit.
(audience applauding) That's right.
Ancient women were hunters, too.
This makes me have to stand up, I can't even take it.
They went back and they examined the remains
of 27 other hunters,
and found that 11 of them were women, okay.
Prehistoric men and women were less divided than we thought.
And here's a look at her kit.
This is so cool,
'cause to you and me, it looks like a bunch of cool rocks.
Oh, it might've already gone by.
But, to the ancient huntress,
these tools can slay a mighty beast.
(audience cheering) Makes me want to stand erect.
It does. I'm so excited.
I just think that's the coolest story. Women hunters.
Just, yes.
Anyway, next up. I guess I'm the only one.
Whatever. I think it's cool. (audience laughing)
By the way, don't mess with those ladies,
they'll. (clicking tongue)
Next up,
Refinery29 Britain has officially declared
the granny underwear, 2020 Sexiest Knicker.
(audience cheering) I'm so excited about this,
you don't even know what good news it is to me,
because I don't like undies that go up my bum.
Columnist Georgia Murray
does a deep dive on full-coverage undies,
and they're having a moment.
Online shopping platforms have noticed a 59% increase
in searches for this type of underwear in 2020.
Let's face it, women just called it.
They're like, screw it.
You know who's gonna see my VPL? My three-year-old.
I can live with that. (audience chuckling)
And the new styles feature, comfort coverage plus.
Otherwise known as regular. (audience laughing)
And they're amazing, okay.
They do it all, no ifs, ands, or fully-covered buts.
Yeah, it's great news for me. (audience cheering)
I actually am concerned about VPL on this show,
I take my job seriously.
That was a big thing in the '70s and '80s for women,
it was like scary.
VPL was a thing.
I am so excited about a woman who is gonna come on the show
right now,
because I truly fell in love with her,
sometime around April,
and I started pitching her for the show.
I always would say, do you think people will ever come on,
I assume no one's coming here,
and I'm always asking very graciously,
and she's gonna honor us here today.
She found an incredible way to bring both the indoors,
during 2020, and the outdoors together.
She brings the art of crafty to a whole new level.
These are, let's hear it from her.
Erin Sullivan, I can't believe I'm meeting her.
- Hi Drew. (audience applauding)
- Erin Outdoors, I'm so excited.
- I'm fully fan-girling out. - Oh my gosh.
- I'm so excited to talk to you.
- Oh my gosh.
I love,
you really helped me during the quarantine.
I marveled at your posts,
- And the way you made - Oh, I'm so glad.
- These incredible installations, how did you do it?
- Oh my gosh.
Well, at the end of March,
as California was going into lockdown,
and I was watching my work calendar evaporate.
So, I was thinking about ways that I could stay creative,
and stay connected to travel, and the outdoors,
and so I decided to try to create believable outdoor scenes
using household items.
- [Drew] Like, that's parsley.
This is a cookie.
And, you know, let's see what our next one is.
This one I loved, this is paper bags, right?
- [Erin] Yup, so that's a paper bag canyon.
So, I was thinking about the canyons in the southwest-
- [Drew] Rosemary.
- [Erin] Yep, rosemary.
- [Drew] I mean, they're just so,
oh, this one is a classic, your pancake mountains.
I mean,
so you, in your life, you are an outdoor photographer,
and I've done a deep dive through your Instagram,
and you look like you're living a dream life.
But it was not exactly that at the beginning?
- Well, I loved photography from an early age,
but I was so afraid to make it into a successful career,
you know,
you hear that art is really hard to make into a business,
so I kind of ran from it,
and I pursued an adjacent career in outdoor education,
which let me travel.
But I kind of think when you avoid your passion
and your purpose, it'll just come to bite you,
and that's totally what happened to me.
I got let go from my first and only office job,
and decided to pursue it from there.
- Well, what you are bringing to the world,
is just imaginative and beautiful.
And I love that when you're so good at what you do
out in the world,
that you can somehow bring it in
and re-imagine it with household materials.
You really brought me through the quarantine.
I can't wait to see more,
I can't wait until you get outdoors again,
but when I just look at you, I'm just like,
you are living a dream and a truth,
and it's nice to know that you had to be brave enough
to find that,
because we all need to hear that.
- Thanks so much.
- Yeah, no, you're amazing.
I can't believe I'm talking to you.
I'm gonna freak out afterwards.
And I'd love to stay in touch. Thank you.
