These days Emmitt has a bit of a new team as he has partnered with Ken Griffey Jr. and the folks at Bud Light in the name of grilling. Check it out.
For a limited time this summer, Bud Light and Budweiser are releasing bold, limited-edition patriotic packaging as part of their long-standing partnership with Folds of Honor. Featured prominently across the 'Grill Like a Pro' campaign, the refreshed cans and cases bring a striking red, white, and blue design to backyard BBQs and summer gatherings nationwide. More than just a seasonal look, a portion of proceeds from these packs will go to Folds of Honor to fund educational scholarships for the families of fallen or disabled military members and first responders, continuing Anheuser-Busch's long-term commitment to supporting those who serve.** Over the last 15 years, Anheuser-Busch, its industry-leading brands, and wholesaler partners have donated over $33 million, which has funded over 6,600 scholarships for Folds of Honor recipients.
To learn more about the 'Grill Like a Pro' campaign, visit budlight.com/grilllikeapro and be sure to keep an eye on Bud Light and Budweiser socials as Smith and Griffey will be breaking down their tips and tricks at the grill and sharing their favorite ways to enjoy summer.
We are just outside of Memorial Day and before you know it the Fourth of July will be here as well.

General Hospital Recap: Laura Finds Money Missing From Ace's Trust
General Hospital Recap: Laura Finds Money Missing From Ace's Trust originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's General Hospital recap: Ric checks in on Liz and they discuss the Nurses Ball. Laura stops by, surprised to see Ric, but Liz reassures her. Laura thinks Ric has been keeping tabs on Liz and knows Lucky's coming and going. Liz swears she's set boundaries with Ric but his presence still upsets Lucky. Laura is certain Lucky never fell out of love and is happy they're back together. Liz says she's not sure if it's enough, if they can make it work. Laura hopes Lucky is happy here but wants them to figure out what's right for them. Alexis has a meeting with Lucky and Kristina to discuss the night her daughter tried to kill Ava. She says if the police investigate, Kristina will go to prison, and she wants all the details. Kristina explains about being at the scene and while she was in the background, Lucky points out the police's body cam might show her there. Kristina says she told Dante that she saw the smashed up car. Lucky says the only thing incriminating Kristina is the car and thought she was in the clear when the mechanic told him the car was gone. Kristina asks if Alexis can see a way out of this. Alexis says the problem is the car since there is proof that the brake lines were cut and Ava and Ric have the upper hand. Alexis thinks maybe she can get them to turn on each other and warns Kristina to stop being impulsive. Carly tells Curtis that the custody hearing is starting today (is it June 2nd already?!!) and would like Curtis' help. Carly says Drillow are accusing Michael of abandonment (and asks him to have Aurora remind the public that Drew is a con artist which might sway the jury in Michael's favour. Curtis says he can't do it because it could backfire. He says Michael is the majority shareholder and Drew could end up looking like a victim. Curtis says he's working on something else. Curtis tells Portia that he can't help Carly because of Drew's blackmail over her. Portia tells him about Jacinda but doesn't think Drew can track her down. She questions why Tracy was arrested for drugging Drew and Curtis figures he planted the ketamine. Portia says there is no evidence of her involvement, because the ketamine would get traced to Brad. Curtis says they need to find Jacinda. Michael asks Sasha if the kids can stay with her during the hearing but Sasha says Ric called her as a witness. He wonders if Ric knows about the paternity, but Sasha doesn't think so. Sasha wonders if she'd told Michael about the fourth of July kiss, if he could have worked it out with Willow and not gotten to this point. Michael says he was desperate to make Willow happy and never got to know the real her. Nina tells Ava that she got information that would help Willow get full custody but doesn't want to use it. Nina tells her about figuring out that Michael is Sasha's baby daddy and Ava wonders why Nina hasn't told Willow. Nina says she loves Sasha and exposing her baby daddy would be a betrayal. Nina also believes that if Willow gets full custody, she'll never leave Drew. She says Drew wants to bring the kids and Willow to DC and she'll lose them. Nina thinks it's better off if Willow doesn't get full custody. Ava tells her to do what she can live with. Emma wakes up alone and worries that Gio ditched her, but he returns and tells her that she's the only one that he trusts. He's upset about all the phone messages he's been getting from everyone and doesn't believe everyone's concern. He says knowing he's related to all of them doesn't change things and that he doesn't want fake relationships with anyone. Gio wonders if Sonny knew the truth since he's friends with Lois and it would explain him paying for his musical education. Gio mentions Camilla, but Emma says she loved him as his mother. She says Camilla taking him at her lowest point gave her a reason to keep on going. He agrees that Camilla was his mother, but Brook Lynn is the one who gave him away. Emma asks where they're going now, but Gio says he needs answers and that they need to go back. Lois overhears Brook Lynn on the phone with Anna then asks whether Gio and Emma are together. Brook Lynn tells her that she doesn't have the right to ask. Lois just wants to know if Gio is okay, but Brook Lynn says he took off with Emma. When Lois asks about tracking Gio's phone, Brook Lynn gets angry and says Gio needs space. Brook Lynn accuses Lois of betraying her trust, but Lois says she did what she thought was best. Lois says Camella just wanted to raise Gio and Lois found a good family for him. Brook Lynn says she asked for a closed adoption and instead grew up living down the street from Gio and interacting with him. Lois says she didn't want to send the baby away and could keep an eye on him. Brook Lynn says she was an adult when Camilla died but Lois says she couldn't add to Gio's grief by telling him then. Lois says she gave Brook Lynn her freedom which was the right thing to do. She says Brook Lynn would be a different person now had she been told about Gio after Camilla died. Brook Lynn is angry Lois made the decisions and can't help Gio through this because he doesn't trust her. Brook Lynn says Gio doesn't want anything to do with her, and she doesn't want anything to do with Lois, as Gloria shows up and chastises her. Laura tells Alexis she was looking over Ace's trust and there seems to be money missing. Lucky tells Liz he knows more about her car accident that he let on. Ric asks Nina if she's ready to testify as to what she saw when everyone found out about Drew and Willow's affair. He asks if she has something else to add. Keep checking back for the latest General Hospital recaps! This story was originally reported by Daytime Confidential on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

Amazon Prime Video Redefines NASCAR Broadcasts with a Bold New Era of Streaming and Innovation
Amazon Prime Video has officially taken the wheel in NASCAR's latest media revolution, and it's not just about where fans watch races, but how they experience them. As part of NASCAR's new seven-year media rights deal kicking off in 2025, Amazon secured exclusive streaming rights to five mid-season Cup Series races annually. That alone is a landmark shift. But when Prime Video debuted with the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, the first-ever points-paying Cup race aired solely on a streaming platform, it was clear this was more than just a broadcasting contract. It's the beginning of NASCAR's streaming era. Amazon's Broader Sports Play Prime Video's entry into NASCAR builds on Amazon's broader push into live sports. The tech giant already owns rights to the NFL's 'Thursday Night Football', Premier League soccer, and WNBA matchups. NASCAR represents the latest step in a long-term plan to draw cord-cutting fans and modernize the live sports experience. Advertisement For NASCAR, partnering with Amazon helps diversify its reach. As NASCAR President Steve Phelps said, the league aimed to 'secure long-term stability with an optimized mix of distribution platforms.' Amazon offers access to a younger, more tech-forward audience, and early numbers suggest it's working. Streaming Debut Delivers Younger, Engaged Viewers Amazon's first Cup race drew a peak of 2.92 million viewers, including 800,000 in the key 18–49 demographic—more than any NASCAR cable race in the last three years. While overall viewership lagged behind last year's traditional Fox broadcast, the younger median age and digital engagement signal growth potential. And for fans, the change wasn't just about the platform, it was about the product. Amazon eliminated full-screen commercials during green-flag racing, replacing them with picture-in-picture ads. It's a long-overdue fix to one of NASCAR's most frustrating TV traditions. Advertisement Related: NASCAR schedule 2025 Game-Changing Features: No Missed Moments, More Control Prime's fan-first approach includes innovations like 'Key Moments,' letting viewers rewind major highlights on demand, and 'Rapid Recap,' which delivers a condensed video summary for fans who join mid-race. These tools are built for modern sports viewers used to TikTok speed and DVR control. In addition, Amazon is using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to layer in real-time stats and predictive insights, similar to what AWS already powers for Formula 1. From tire wear to pit strategy, expect smarter analysis baked into the coverage. Advertisement There's also a seamless e-commerce tie-in, allowing fans to 'Shop the Race' and buy team gear in real time. It's an extension of Amazon's retail empire, but also a clever way to let passion turn into purchase with a single click. A Broadcast Team Built for Credibility Fans tuning in to Prime Video's NASCAR coverage were met by a familiar voice: Dale Earnhardt Jr., alongside longtime crew chief Steve Letarte and seasoned broadcaster Adam Alexander. The team brings deep credibility and experience, and unlike some networks, Amazon sends its entire crew on-site to every race, enhancing authenticity and access. Supporting them are pit reporters Marty Snider, Kim Coon, and Trevor Bayne, while Danielle Trotta, Carl Edwards, and Corey LaJoie lead pre- and post-race coverage. The Coca-Cola 600 post-race show ran over an hour, something rarely seen on traditional TV. Challenges Ahead for NASCAR and Fans Still, not everyone is sold. While Amazon partnered with DirecTV to stream races in bars and restaurants, some rural or older fans have struggled to adapt. Internet access, tech familiarity, and subscription fatigue are all real hurdles. Advertisement But team owners and sponsors are bullish. As 23XI Racing President Steve Lauletta said, 'This is a positive move to reach consumers where they are.' The marketing upside, especially for sponsors eager to tap Amazon's platform, is hard to ignore. Related: Prime Video Review 2025 – What to Know Before Subscribing The Future of NASCAR Broadcasting Ultimately, NASCAR's partnership with Amazon feels like a test case for the future of all live sports. It's not just about streaming, it's about flexibility, data, and personalization. If successful, this hybrid model of streaming and traditional TV could become the new norm across major leagues. Advertisement For fans, the tradeoff is clear: a slightly different way to watch in exchange for deeper, richer coverage that's focused more on the racing, and less on missing it. If Amazon continues listening to the fanbase and delivering a product built around access, engagement, and innovation, NASCAR may have found a long-term pit partner for the digital age.

Week of May 26 Evening News Ratings: All 3 Newscasts Struggle For Viewers Post-Memorial Day
The week after the Memorial Day holiday weekend proved slow for the evening newscasts as all three failed to make week-to-week gains in total viewers or the Adults 25-54 demo. NBC Nightly News was the only newscast not to record declines across the board for the week of May 26, as enough of an audience tuned in for Lester Holt's final broadcast as anchor to keep it from falling into the negative zone with total viewers. Holt has something else to smile about: His final week in the anchor's chair brought the demo gap between Nightly News and ABC World News Tonight with David Muir to just 53,000 viewers-its closest finish since January. Note: The weekly averages of ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News are based on four days (Tuesday-Friday). Monday's (05/26/25) broadcasts were retitled due to the Memorial Day holiday. These broadcasts are excluded from the weekly and season averages. According to live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen, WNT averaged 7.042 million total viewers and 884,000 demo viewers for respective drops of -2% and -9% compared to the previous week. Looking at its performance alongside the same week in 2024 (the week beginning May 27), WNT was down -3% in total viewers and -14% in the demo. NBC Nightly News finished second in total viewers and the demo, averaging 5.720 million total viewers and 831,000 demo viewers. Week-to-week, the newscast was flat in the former category and dipped -5% in the latter. Year-to-year, Nightly News was up +2% in total viewers and +4% in the demo-the only newscast with gains relative to the same week in 2024. CBS Evening News drew 3.600 million total viewers and 490,000 A25-54 viewers for declines of -8% in the former category and -12% in the latter. Year-to-year, the newscast declined -15% in total viewers and -24% in the demo. ABC NBC CBS • Total Viewers: 7,042,000 5,720,000 3,600,000 • A25-54: 884,000 831,000 490,000 Source: The Nielsen Company, NTI Total Viewers, Adults 25-54 and Adults 18-49 Live + SD Current Week (w/o 5/26/25), Previous Week (w/o 5/19/25) and Year-Ago Week (w/o 5/27/24). Most Current Data Stream: 2024-2025 Season (9/23/24 – 6/1/25) and 2023-2024 Season (9/25/23 – 6/2/24). Nielsen ratings for ABC, NBC and CBS include additional airings in select markets. Beginning 8/31/20, national ratings also include Out of Home (OOH) viewing. Averages based on regular telecasts.
