Watch The Rock Finally Hug Jelly Roll 8 Years After Singer's Music Helped Him Through a Dark Time
After nearly a decade of friendship built on the power of music, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Jelly Roll finally got to meet in person. In a sweet video posted by the two stars late Monday (June 30) on Instagram, the movie star wraps the musician in a huge hug backstage on the set of American Idol, on which Jelly served as the show's first-ever artist in residence in the recently wrapped season 23. 'I've been waiting a decade for this hug, baby!' the singer says, emerging from his trailer. More from Billboard Musicians Who Have Opened Up About Their Mental Health Struggles Gavin Adcock Blasts Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' During Concert Rant: 'That Sh- Ain't Country Music' Lorde Reveals Which 'Virgin' Song 'Kicked My A-' to Write & Seemingly Teases Deluxe Tracks The two men then dive into an emotional conversation, with Johnson explaining how he struggled while living as a teenager in Nashville after his family was evicted from their home in Hawaii. Years later, the actor went through another difficult time in 2017, but was able to power through after discovering Jelly's music. 'I was struggling,' Johnson wrote in his caption. 'My mental wellness turned into my mental hellness … Then a song came on through my headphones one morning on a random shuffle playlist. 'Only' from Jelly Roll. The lyrics rocked me. Hard core.' Johnson then reached out to Jelly, spawning a yearslong friendship based on messaging back and forth. As the musician says in the clip, the former pro wrestler beat Jelly's own mom to congratulating him after he won his first award. Finally getting to meet in person, Johnson gifted Jelly with a special present: a postcard showing where the actor used to live in Nashville. If anyone understands what it's like to struggle while coming up in Music City, it's Jelly; the Tennessee-born artist has been open about spending time in and out of jail before starting his music career. 'This is crazy … this is real old-school Nashville history,' a shocked Jelly says at the end of the video, holding up the postcard to show what Johnson wrote: 'Keep doin' it brother. Proud of you!' Johnson has previously shared how Jelly's music helped him through a dark period. On The Kelly Clarkson Show last November, the superstar said, 'That was one of my bouts with depression … I was trying to balance a lot, we were pregnant with our second baby … my older daughter, she was long distance, I was trying to film a movie. There was a lot going on.' 'We got in contact with each other and I told him what it meant to me,' Johnson continued at the time. 'We didn't know each other, but became really good friends. That's my boy, and I love that guy.' The video comes as Jelly is currently on tour, balancing solo dates with joint stadium shows with Post Malone. Jelly's latest album, Beautifully Broken, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. And in addition to their shared Nashville history, Jelly and Johnson have something else in common. Both are Billboard chart-reaching artists, with The Rock landing on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2016 with Moana's 'You're Welcome.' Watch The Rock and Jelly Roll finally meet face to face below.

8 Ways to Enjoy S'mores Without a Campfire
Bring the taste of summer inside with these delicious s'mores-inspired desserts. Melissa Clark's oven s'mores. Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. Published July 1, 2025 Updated July 1, 2025 There's something so nostalgic (and messy!) about the combination of toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, graham crackers. But you don't need a campfire to satisfy that s'mores craving. Below are eight desserts that capture their essence, no outdoor flames necessary. Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Erin Jeanne McDowell. These ooey-gooey blondies deliver on the promise of s'mores tenfold. Erin Jeanne McDowell replaces some of the flour in the chocolate-studded base with graham cracker crumbs. Before the blondies are done baking, they're topped with a layer of mini marshmallows and more chocolate — which is lightly toasted and melted in the best way. Recipe: S'mores Blondies Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. For a showstopping dessert that will impress your guests, look no further than this stunning tart from Melissa Clark. The foundation is a buttery, homemade graham cracker crust filled with chocolate ganache that's firm enough to slice but evokes the usual melted chocolate. On top, sits a swirly mountain of meringue that's torched until golden brown. Recipe: S'mores Tart Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Styling by Barrett Washburne. This Ali Slagle recipe is a brilliant mash-up of two marshmallow-forward desserts: Rice Krispies treats and s'mores. In her genius creation, browned butter accentuates the toastiness of broiled marshmallows, which are tossed with graham cracker cereal and chocolate chips. Recipe: S'mores Crispy Treats Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Yossy Arefi 'I made this cake as a fun vacation project and it got rave reviews!!' one reader wrote. If you're looking for an ambitious baking project — and like receiving praise — Yossy Arefi's gorgeous cake is for you. Toasted marshmallow buttercream and graham cracker crumbles are sandwiched between layers of moist, chocolate sour cream cake. It's more than worth the effort. Recipe: S'mores Layer Cake Bryan Gardner for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. What if, instead of graham crackers, you used actual bread? Ali Slagle did, and it's delicious. While you could use any sliced bread, she recommends cinnamon swirl to get that toasty graham cracker flavor. Tip: Sprinkling salt on top keeps the sandwich from being cloyingly sweet. Recipe: Grilled S'mores Sandwiches Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Yossy Arefi Eric Kim's fudgy s'mores bars taste best chilled, straight out of the refrigerator, but they're also great microwaved for 10 seconds until the centers turn gooey. Recipe: S'mores Brownies Craig Lee for The New York Times This travel-friendly pie from Allison Kave, adapted by Christine Muhlke, features chocolate pudding nestled in a graham cracker crust. It's all topped with a blanket of homemade marshmallow browned to perfection. Recipe: S'mores Pie Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. Sometimes, simplest is best. This easy broiler version from Melissa Clark can be ready in about 10 minutes, start to finish. For those who like to buck tradition, feel free to swap out different cookies for the graham crackers like gingersnaps, shortbread, chocolate wafer cookies, or a salty crackers like Ritz and Saltines. Recipe: Oven S'mores

'Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure Of Foggy Mountain' Blu-Ray Review - An Outrageously Funny Journey
John Goodman narrates the raucously funny adventures of Ben, Martin, and John, three childhood friends turned deadbeat coworkers who fend off hairless bears, conniving park rangers (Meg Stalter of Hacks and X Mayo of The Blackening), and a hypocritical cult leader (Bowen Yang of Saturday Night Live) to track down a priceless treasure, only to discover that finding the treasure is the easiest part of their journey. Oh, and Conan O'Brien (Conan) plays Ben's dad in it. This buddy comedy is directed by Paul Briganti (Saturday Night Live) and produced by Judd Apatow (Superbad) and Jimmy Miller (Bad Teacher). Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, and Ben Marshall — aka the Please Don't Destroy guys — lend their acting chops in addition to writing and executive producing the film. For in-depth thoughts on Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, please see my colleague Larry Fried's review from its original streaming release here. Video Quality Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain comes to Blu-Ray in a 1080p presentation that brings everything to life as desired. The film presents the hues on display in the natural foliage, lighting and clothing with the proper depth and accuracy. This is a film with a natural color palette that is reproduced perfectly with an entrancing radiance. The skin tones look very detailed and natural throughout the ensemble. The highlights are handled skillfully, and the deep blacks do not appear to suffer from any compression artifacts. This is a story filled with shots where you can see an incredible amount of detail. During the journey, there is a constant supply of imagery that provides a nice reference to showcase the depth at play. There are no serious signs of any noise or other such digital nuisances outside of some fleeting banding. This presentation holds up very well. Audio Quality The Blu-Ray disc comes with a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track that represents this one without a hiccup. Dialogue comes through crisp and clear without ever being drowned out by the environmental effects or the score. There are a handful of bustling moments that give the track more of an exciting presence, but the hilarious exchanges are the focus. The music is showcased impeccably here with an immersive use of the surround speakers. The sound design is deftly deployed with all of the sounds positioned just right in the mix. The environmental effects create a robust soundscape of straightforward and heightened cinematic flourishes. Activity in the low end knows when to spring to life for a few key moments. This is an ideal release that brings the movie to life in a splendid way. Optional English SDH subtitles provided. Special Features Audio Commentary: Director Paul Briganti and Actors/Co-Writers Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, and Ben Marshall provide a lively and informative commentary track in which they discuss some secrets of the production, parts that they had to cut down, friends who are in the movie in small roles, the evolution of certain moments, and more. Deleted Scenes: There are nearly four minutes of unused material provided here. Gag Reel: A three-minute collection of flubbed lines, malfunctioning props, laughing fits, and more. Final Thoughts Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is an outrageously funny feature film that is stacked wall-to-wall with clever and absurd jokes. There are tons of funny character actors populating the ensemble, but the story keeps the focus on the core trio, and it works all the better for it. The beginning of the third act begins to feel a bit tedious, yet the overall experience is so much fun. This one feels destined for a cult following in the future. Shout! Studios has given this film a Blu-Ray with a terrific A/V presentation and a great selection of features. Highly Recommended Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is currently available to purchase on Blu-Ray. Note: Images presented in this review are not reflective of the image quality of the Blu-Ray. Disclaimer: Shout! Studios has supplied a copy of this disc free of charge for review purposes. All opinions in this review are the honest reactions of the author.
