00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.199
Callaroga, Shark Media Hi, and
Welcome to Entertainment Daily, a short round

2
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:22.320
up of the top entertainment stories in
today's news. Jason DeFord, the rapper

3
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.399
and country star known as Jelly Roll, testified during the Senate's Banking, Housing,

4
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.160
and Urban Affairs Committee hearing on Thursday, where he lobbied for stronger legislation

5
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:36.840
against the ongoing fentinyl crisis in the
United States. DeFord began his testimony during

6
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:42.759
the committees Stopping the Flow of Fentanyl
Public Awareness and Legislative Solutions hearing by sharing

7
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.399
various figures on the rising number of
fentanyl and drug overdose related deaths in the

8
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:52.159
country, and stated his bipartisan position
as he fights for a cause that is

9
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.159
personal to him. I've attended more
funerals and I care to share with you

10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.479
all. I can sit here and
cry for days about the caskets I've carried

11
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.960
of people I loved deally, deeply
in my soul, he said. CNN

12
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.359
reported in October that new estimates from
the US Centers for Disease Control and Preventions

13
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.599
National Center for Health Statistics project them
more than one hundred and twelve thousand people

14
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:17.040
died from a drug overdose in the
twelve month period ending in May twenty twenty

15
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.400
three, an increase of more than
twenty seven hundred from the previous year.

16
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.439
Ventanyl and other synthetic opioids were involved
in the vast majority of overdose deaths,

17
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.519
according to the provisional data. Acknowledging
the paradox of my history as a drug

18
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.640
dealer, standing in front of this
committee, to Ford noted his awareness that

19
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.680
he at one point was part of
the problem. I brought my community down.

20
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.480
I hurt people. I was the
uneducated man in the kitchen playing chemist

21
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.400
with drugs. I knew absolutely nothing
about, just like these drug dealers are

22
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.920
doing right now, and when they're
mixing every drug on the market with fentanyl

23
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.120
and they're killing the people we love, he said. To Ford, who

24
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.599
is now a two time Grammy nominee
and a CMA Award winner, went on

25
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.239
to say, I am here now
standing as a man that wants to be

26
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.319
part of the The Good Doctor will
come to an end with its upcoming season

27
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.800
seven. The medical drama, which
stars Freddie Himore as doctor Sean Murphy and

28
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.520
his a co production of Sony Pictures
TV and ABC, will conclude with the

29
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.680
new season which is set to premiere
on February twentieth. Playing doctor Sean Murphy

30
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.159
has been an immense privilege and one
of the most remarkable and rewarding experiences of

31
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.879
my life, Hihmore shared in its
statement, as per The Hollywood Reporter,

32
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.680
I will always be grateful to David
les Eron as well as the hugely talented

33
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.240
and lovely cast, writers and crew
who made this show possible. He went

34
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.520
on, caring deeply is what God
is here. Thank you to Sony and

35
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.879

Robaca getting honest about their alcohol intake in

59
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.160
honor of dry in January and the
start of the new year. The couple

60
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.519
reflected on how the relationship with alcohol
changed through twenty twenty three on the latest

61
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:34.040
episode of their iHeartRadio podcast Amy and
TJ. I am certainly somebody who right

62
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.560
now and in years past needs to
re examine my relationship with alcohol, and

63
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.600
that's what we are doing, said
Holmes. While explaining their decision to abstain

64
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.000
from alcohol. Roebec said that her
alcohol intake was at over thirty drinks a

65
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.319
week before the lifestyle change. That
is appalling to me. That is embarrassing

66
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.319
to me. That is not what
I wish it were, she said,

67
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:58.399
noting that holmes alcohol intake was jaw
dropping and not possible. I could easily

68
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.480
go through eighteen drinks a day.
Eighteen drinks a day, said Holmes.

69
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.399
He noted that it would be easy
for him to be two drinks in at

70
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.199
ten am after a run, and
that he and Roeback would drink at least

71
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.680
two drinks during lunch if the two
were not out, and about his alcohol

72
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.600
intake would remain the same. I
could easily have a drink in my hand

73
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.360
from two in the afternoon until seven, eight, nine, ten o'clock at

74
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.040
night, he said. Further in
the episode, he also revealed the amount

75
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:24.399
of money he and Roeback spent on
alcohol last year. We spent in the

76
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:29.160
month of December twy eight hundred and
sixty nine dollars on alcohol alone period.

77
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:30.399
I thought the number would be higher, to be honest with you, Holmes

78
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.399
said, But that is an amount
of money now that is going to be

79
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.199
saved in January. He noted that
since starting their drying January kick, he

80
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:46.720
and Roeback have been feeling great more
entertainment In just a moment, Jason Momoa

81
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.199
is showing his true colors on his
new show, and that's usually Baby Pink.

82
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.199
In his upcoming Max series on The
Room, premiering on the eighteenth,

83
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.240
the Aquaman star travels the country,
meeting the creatives he most admires, where

84
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.800
they work and into their worlds.
It's me on the road and all the

85
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.319
things that I'd love to do,
and all the things I've never done in

86
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.079
my life that I've wanted to do, he tells people. The lifelong motorcycle

87
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.560
enthusiast travels to North Carolina, for
example, to rebuild historic bikes with the

88
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.439
foremost experts in the world and race
them on a death defying dirt track with

89
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.560
a gang of his own making dubbed
the Roamas. He comes away with a

90
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:26.839
custom built pastel pink bike based on
an antique model. He also famously owns

91
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.240
a pink Cadillac. While some might
keep such a collector's item behind glass,

92
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.439
Momoa says, I rode it yesterday. I'm going to be riding it tomorrow

93
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.600
out with my friends. It looks
good, doesn't it. While Momoa is

94
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.839
traveling to unexpected places to pursue his
adventures, the series is far more about

95
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.800
the personalities he encounters than the locations
they happen to occupy. The star,

96
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.560
who also executive produced and directed on
the show, clearly doesn't believe in the

97
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:55.040
ad age don't meet your heroes.
As he goes hunting for fog covered suburban

98
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.240
landscapes in the Bay Area with his
favorite photographer, Todd Hido, or rips

99
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.279
across fields vintage motorbikes with American pickers
Mike Wolf. It feels more like Momoa

100
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.360
is manifesting. You best friends.
Everyone on the show was wonderful and I'm

101
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.319
still friends with them and we talk, he says, and they have a

102
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.399
Please followus on Spotify, Apple or
your apple of choice, and if you

103
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.560
like the show hit there's five stars. It really helps us out. I'm

104
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.639
