Mics picked up Giants manager Bob Melvin's entire NSFW tirade towards the umpire
Mics picked up Giants manager Bob Melvin's entire NSFW tirade towards the umpire Who needs Jomboy Media's lip-reading skills when you have the microphones on the Tigers' FanDuel Sports Network broadcast? The mics understood the assignment — that's for sure. With Logan Webb on the mount in the fifth inning for the Giants on Tuesday night, home plate umpire Tony Randazzo accurately called a low sinker for a ball. Yet, he turned to the Giants dugout to tell manager Bob Melvin to stop barking about balls and strikes. Randazzo then said, "That's it!" And he ejected Melvin. That was when the chaos broke loose, and the microphones picked up almost every word. (Warning: The video contains strong language) Melvin got right in Randazzo's face and demanded that the umpire call a consistent zone. "You're killing us," Melvin said. He went on to tell Randazzo that he was "(expletive) better than that." Again, the call that set Melvin off there was correct. But the Giants manager was still fuming over a missed strikeout call on Patrick Bailey. And despite those fireworks from Melvin, Randazzo had a solid performance behind the plate. According to Ump Scorecards, he accurately called 143 of 149 taken pitches (96 percent accuracy). And he was perfect on called ball accuracy. Melvin might have been a bit harsh there.

Celebrating Sabah's heritage with modern Kadazan-Dusun cuisine
Chef Melvin and the dishes he created in collaboration with MAGGI, the Nasi Goreng Losun Ikan Masin and Ikan Basung Goreng Marinated with Tuhau. KOTA KINABALU (May 24): For Kaamtan and Gawai this year, MAGGI is collaborating with two inspiring East Malaysian chefs whose stories and recipes reflect the soul of the season and share a deep connection to their culinary roots. In Sabah, Chef Melvin Gatu is breathing new energy into Kadazan-Dusun cuisine with his modern take on classics such as Nasi Goreng Losun Ikan Masin, a flavourful fried rice dish featuring wild garlic shoots and salted fish, and Ikan Basung Goreng Marinated with Tuhau, a local ginger-like root that adds a bold, tangy kick, capturing the essence of Sabah's rich culinary heritage. This dish also paired perfectly with MAGGI Sambal Tumis Kantan, giving a unique and authentic flavour with an added layer of aroma and spice. 'Kaamatan is about gratitude for our harvest, our ancestors and the people we enjoy meals with. These are not just any recipes; they are part of our unique identity. I'm privileged to work with MAGGI to bring these flavours to a wider audience while staying true to our roots,' said Chef Melvin who hails from Ranau. Chef Melvin's love for cooking began young and at seven, he cooked and served his first dish for his family, his mother's chicken curry, a recipe that he still uses nowadays. 'I was just seven and every Saturday, we would go to the tamu to pick out ingredients. That is where I learned about food, the ingredients, and how to choose the best produce,' he recalled. At 14, he knew he wanted to be a chef. After graduating, Chef Melvin trained in Kuala Lumpur under a well-known Malaysian chef who had a deep pride in local cuisine, even as he mastered French techniques. 'He inspired me. I thought, if he can elevate Malaysian food, why can't I do the same with Sabahan cuisine?' said Chef Melvin when speaking to the media recently. Over the years, Chef Melvin built an impressive resume, working across restaurants and hotels for a decade before accepting a role in Qatar. 'Being overseas opened my eyes. People from Kenya, Tunisia, India, everyone I met was proud of their food. It made me even more determined to promote my own,' he said and returned to Sabah with a vision to document and modernize Sabahan dishes while keeping their essence intact. Though he had started promoting Sabah cuisine online during his time in KL, the lack of authentic ingredients made it difficult to cook the dishes he wanted to promote. 'In Sabah, the markets are full of what we need and when I came back, that's when things really began to take off,' he disclosed. In 2019, Chef Melvin launched his YouTube channel, 'Melvin Gatu', sharing recipes, cooking tips, and his journey. For Chef Melvin, MAGGI's products have become an integral part of his approach to accessible, yet authentic cooking. 'I always bring MAGGI Cukup Rasa when I go camping. It saves me from carrying salt or even onions. It enhances flavour without changing it. This is a staple in my kitchen,' he said. He especially appreciates MAGGI Sambal Tumis, which cuts down preparation time without compromising authenticity, and he is using this in the making of the Sambal Tumis Kantan. 'Normally, making sambal with bunga kantan would take up to eight steps. Now, it's just two, open the packet, add the bunga kantan, and cook. A 30-minute dish becomes a 10-minute wonde,' he said. Chef Melvin dreams of seeing Sabahan cuisine on the global map, restaurants in London, New York, or Tokyo serving linopot, nasi goreng losun, or ikan basung goreng. 'With partners like MAGGI and maybe even support from Sabah Tourism or national campaigns, we can go global. I can envision the linopot, a traditional dish of rice wrapped in leaf and served with local condiments, being promoted internationally. 'I have tried this before, given the 'linopot' a modern twist in terms of presentation, but everything else, the ingredients, the spirit, remained traditional. That is what matters,' he pointed out. He is also determined to document Sabahan recipes in a cookbook, properly researched, tested, and preserved for generations to come. 'Our ancestors' dishes deserve to be remembered, not lost,' he stressed. To young Sabahan chefs and entrepreneurs, Chef Melvin's advice is simple, 'Learn the basics. Know your techniques. But most importantly, go back to your roots. Appreciate your mother's recipes. Respect our ingredients. They are among the best in the world.' He also calls on local business owners to support local farmers, adding, 'Use our ingredients. Help our cuisine grow. When we do this together, we do not just serve food, we tell our story.

Craig Melvin Opens Up About His Friendship with Sheinelle Jones' Late Husband Uche Ojeh, Recalls Their Final Outing Together
Sheinelle Jones' Today show co-hosts announced the news that her husband, Uche Ojeh, died at the age of 45 due to brain cancer in the May 23 episode of the morning show Craig Melvin honored Uche in the segment and recalled their final golf day together in the fall Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Carson Daly, Dylan Dreyer and Jenna Bush Hager also paid tribute to the father of three and the love he had for his childrenCraig Melvin is remembering Uche Ojeh. During the Friday, May 23, live broadcast of the Today show, it was revealed that Sheinelle Jones' husband died at the age of 45 due to glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. As her co-hosts honored Ojeh's legacy throughout the morning, Melvin reflected on their final outing together. 'The last time we played golf together last fall, we had a number of conversations about just life in general,' the 46-year-old journalist recalled. 'And one thing he always talked about, he talked about those kids. He loved those kids more than anything else in this world and was just so proud. He was that dad that was on the sidelines of all the soccer games. He was at all the concerts and the recitals. He was that guy." Melvin also acknowledged Jones' strength and resilience while she coped with such a difficult time. 'What has been remarkable, also, is watching the way with which she has dealt with this,' he said. 'Dealing with a husband who's battling cancer and three young children that she has had to rear by herself for a while now, essentially. It's just, it really is remarkable.' Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Carson Daly, Dylan Dreyer and Jenna Bush Hager commended Jones, 47, for putting on a brave face, as well. 'We all know Sheinelle, she's always smiling,' Dreyer noted. 'She's just the bright light when she walks into the room. Even through this, she relied on her faith, she relied on her friends. I think back to COVID when they, as a family, were in South Carolina together. They had this special time of their life to just all be together because that was the most important thing to each and every one of them.' Bush Hager added: 'And she has her humor. I mean, we all know that. There's nobody funnier than Sheinelly. That humor, she's found the grace in the grief, which is not easy. But I know we all, when we've spoken to her, have just been completely inspired.' Ojeh first met Jones at Northwestern University in the late '90s. At the time, she was just a freshman, but he — a visiting senior — caught her eye and she offered to show him around campus. By 2001, both had graduated from the prestigious university: Jones with a degree in journalism and Ojeh with a degree in computer science with an economics concentration. After dating long distance for eight years, Ojeh proposed on their alma mater's campus where they fell in love in the middle of a rainstorm. They got married in September 2007 in Jones' hometown of Philadelphia and welcomed their first son, Kayin, in August 2009. Then, in July 2012, they expanded their family with fraternal twins, Clara and Uche.

Guthrie, who praised Ojeh and Jones' 'beautiful love story,' called the pair 'true partners in life' who stood by each other through everything. 'Uche had a beautiful, deep, abiding faith every single day of this fight, and you could see it in his eyes,' she shared. 'He was an extraordinary person, and we love him, and we love you, Sheinelle.' Jones, who has been absent from the Today show since mid-December, later shared a video of the segment on Instagram with the caption: "Thank you, for all of your love and support. ❤️" Read the original article on People
