What Happened Today on Bold and the Beautiful July 22: Li Made Excuses, Brooke Made Demands
The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Tuesday, July 22 saw Li and Sheila bonding over Luna's loss and Brooke issuing an ultimatum that could change everything between her and Ridge. What You Missed Today On Bold and the Beautiful Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) was still getting used to the eight-toes life but that wasn't stopping her from getting back to work. Deacon (Sean Kanan) found her at a table doing inventory and trying to keep her mind off Luna (Lisa Yamada) and Liam (Scott Clifton). Luna's loss was hitting her hard and thoughts of Liam surviving a gunshot only to battle brain cancer was weighing heavy on her. Li (Naomi Matsuda) came in and shared the good news about Liam. The fella was saved and all would be well in his world. Sheila commented it was too bad their granddaughter wasn't afforded the same luxury. Deacon was not a fan of that. While he wouldn't say he was happy Luna was dead, he did express his relief that she would never come after anyone else again. And, he reminded the ladies of Luna's destructive ways. WATCH THIS: SoapHub Says! Our newest fun and fabulous podcast episode is here! Li pointed out that much of Luna's horrendous behavior wasn't exactly her fault. She was brought up badly and she was suffering from trauma and severe neglect. While it didn't excuse killing two men and gunning for three other victims, it did explain why she went to such a dark place. As far as Li was concerned, Poppy (Romy Park) was to blame for all of it. Every single bit. Later, Sheila and Li bonded over their shared grief. Sheila asked if there would be a service but no, the family wasn't doing much of anything. How sad (or is it because there's no reason for a service). Sheila was disappointed. She never got a chance to say goodbye. Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me Over at Forrester Creations, Eric (John McCook) marvelled at Liam's miraculous second chance at life. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) were overjoyed too. Now, they can concentrate on the Italy trip. Speaking of, Eric showed the pair a video Will (Crew Morrow) created to preview the adventure that looked back on some of their greatest moments in Portofino. How lovely! Brooke then told the men she wanted to invite Nick (Jack Wagner) along – which rubbed Ridge the wrong way. He sternly reminded her this was a business trip. Period. MORE: Find out what's coming up next on B&B! Back in the main office, Eric tried to level with his son. As far as he's concerned, Brooke is truly the only woman for Ridge and it's time his son recognise that. Ridge, however, put his foot down. He was with Taylor (Rebecca Budig) now and he's madly in love. He demanded his father back off and get out of his love life. Eric did no such thing. HIs son wasn't in love with anyone but Brooke and he needed to go back to her before he destroyed Taylor completely and let Nick steal his 'destiny.' Later, Brooke went to the design room to work which is where Nick found her. He jumped right into seduction mode and tried to woo Brooke into going to Italy with him instead of the company. Why not? It's not like Ridge wanted anything to do with her now, the man is engaged. Brooke was aware, of course, but she was still holding out hope. So, instead of jumping at the chance to be on Nick's arms, she slid back across the hall and argued with Ridge about Nick some more…and take him on a walk down Memory Lane. She then issued an ultimatum – either he dumps Taylor and comes home or she's taking Nick to Italy. Meanwhile, Back in the design room, Nick stared at Brooke's magazine cover and reminisced about their past romance. Solve the daily Crossword

Create Account Baltimore-based artist Dan Deacon performed a controversial auto-tune version of the U.S. national anthem prior to the first game of Thursday's doubleheader between the host Orioles and New York Mets at Camden Yards. The song seemed to serve as a good-luck charm to the struggling Orioles, who went on to win both games and claim the series, but it wasn't without a few eyebrows being raised. Deacon is an electronic music artist with five studio albums to his credit, including work on movie scores including Hustle . The musician was decked out in a Hawaiian Orioles top with a T-shirt featuring Baltimore's mascot, The Oriole Bird, when he took the field on Thursday afternoon.

Orioles national anthem singer goes viral for all the wrong reasons
T-Pain must be proud. Artist Dan Deacon performed a controversial auto-tune version of the 'Star Spangled Banner' before the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets at Camden Yards. Perhaps the song will be remembered as the turning point in the Orioles' season as they won both games Thursday to claim the series.

He wore a Hawaiian Orioles top with a T-shirt featuring Baltimore's mascot, The Orioles Bird, while he took the field Thursday afternoon. Advertisement A photo showed him and the bird mascot standing in front of a computer and what appeared to be a synthesizer behind home plate. Deacon began his rendition by moving his left arm while hitting his notes, and he worked fast, with the song clocking in at roughly 75 seconds.

X user @ForeverOrioles posted. Advertisement Another poster, @_B_035_, wrote: 'You can literally see people thinking 'what the f–k is this.'' Others gave props. 'No cap, it gets good if you can make it through the first bit,' @thechek182 posted. Wrote @BobQTN: 'This is fire, and he pre-programmed a lot of the correct harmonies. He really respected the original.' Time will tell if this song galvanized the Orioles to great heights, with Baltimore sitting at 42-50 and in last place in the AL East, even after Thursday's wins. Baltimore traded reliever Bryan Baker to the Rays on Thursday and remains 6 1/2 games back of the Red Sox for the third and final wild card spot. The Orioles finish the first half with three games against the lowly Marlins and have until July 31 to decide whether to sell their attractive pieces.

The controversial Orioles' national anthem performance actually rocked
I think the Orioles have officially hit rock bottom The Baltimore Orioles caught some fans by surprise during a rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" by electronic musician Dan Deacon. Perhaps the folks at Camden Yards should have given those attending the Thursday afternoon inter-league game, which was the first of a double-header against the New York Mets, some notice. This performance of the national anthem might not sound like what they are used to hearing at the ballpark. An obvious change of pace compared to expectations and not necessarily the same cup of tea that everyone was looking for while at the stadium, Deacon's version got a mixed reaction from those who watched it live and online: Some on social media said that the Orioles have "officially hit rock bottom" when the video was posted. Other outlets like Jomboy said that the performance was "certainly something" and that isn't exactly a resounding review, either. Here is the thing, though: Once you get over the initial shock that this isn't your mother's idea of what the song sounds like, it's actually fantastic. Dan Deacon is an American hero around these parts 🇺🇸 Deacon is a critically-acclaimed, Baltimore-based musician who has turned heads with his experimental music since 2003. He originally appeared on the morning show of a local NBC affiliate in Georgia two decades ago with a comparably unexpected eyebrow raiser. It's kind of his whole thing! More: The 5 worst national anthems in sports history, from Ingrid Andress to Fergie to Carl Lewis But just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad. We aren't talking about Fergie, who did something genuinely bizarre in 2011 at the NBA All-Star Game. Maybe this wasn't exactly hitting the same notes that Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth reached during the 2025 NBA Finals. Deacon, however, is a legend in his own right and deserves praise not ridicule for trying something a bit different. Not for nothing: The Orioles beat the Mets in both games of the double-header. Orioles are undefeated since Dan Deacon did the Star Spangled Banner Remember, the parents of rock-and-roll fans weren't happy when Jimi Hendrix famously tried his hand at the song, either. Now, it's regarded as one of the best covers to exist of any song ever. Sure, maybe Dean isn't Hendrix. Perhaps this stab at it was a little weird, strange, and (as Consequence of Sound described) haunting. But maybe that's fitting for a song representing the country, which sometimes feels a bit unusual to live in as well.
