State beaches here in new jersey are open and the governor is stressing safety. Were seeing reminders of that like this social distancing sign, but now its up to the visitors to follow the rules.

If someone is wearing a mask, theyre not doing it to represent what Political Party theyre in or what candidates they support.

Deborah birx telling Martha Raddatz it is difficult to tell if the country may need to close again if theres another surge in cases, something the president says he will not do. Were trying to understand during this period of coming out of the closure how do we maintain openness and safety, and i think thats what were going to be learning through may, june, and july. Reporter at beaches across the country these precautions that have been put in place, they will vary. Here in new jersey the governor has increased the gathering size from 10 to 25 people, and from what weve seen so far, even though its a rainy day, the small groups weve seen are abiding by that rule. Eva . Stephanie ramos, thank you. Memorial day is usually one of the busiest travel days of the year but this year the holiday is expected to be one of the slowest ever recorded.

Think about all the business surrounding airports, taxi cabs, rental car companies, the food court, it is a ghost town. But the tsa says travel is inching up. They screened 350,000 passengers on friday. To put that in perspective its the highest passenger screened since november 22 but still 80 down from this same time last year.

To washington now and the latest on President Trumps response to the coronavirus emergency. The president banning travel to the u. S. From brazil where cases of covid19 are surging. Rachel scott is joining us with more from washington. Rachel, good morning to you. Reporter whit, good morning. Brazil is another hot spot facing travel restrictions into the u. S. The white house says this new travel ban is aimed at preventing new infections and protecting american lives, and we know this is something the president was considering over the last week. He told reporters he does not want travelers coming here to the u. S. And infecting americans. White house Officials Say this is likely temporary. It will go into effect on thursday night and does not apply to u. S. Citizens. Now, brazil is second only to the u. S. With the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, more than 300,000 there, and the Trump Administration has already banned certain travelers from other hot spots including china and much of europe, but these travel restrictions have been known to spark chaos, prompting travelers to book flights to the u. S. Before it goes into effect. Whit . Rachel, this latest move comes as the president continues his push to reopen the country as the death toll here in the u. S. Approaches 100,000. Reporter thats exactly right, whit. Flags flying at half staff at the white house as we reach that grim milestone. But the president spent much of his weekend on the golf course, returning for the first time in 75 days. Today he will head to baltimore to honor fallen troops. The mayor in that city though urging the president to reconsider this visit, saying it contradicts the local stayathome orders and puts a strain on safety resources. Whit .

Here in mexico, the death toll continues to mount with the number of reported cases now topping 68,000. This cemetery used to bury around five people a day. Now its at capacity, 24 hours a day, at least 25 bodies, and this is just the latest covid19 victim to be entered. There are now spikes in border cities like tijuana just across from san diego. Mexican officials believe travelers from the u. S. Are bringing the virus into the country, a source of anxiety for some like this intensive care unit doctor. [speaking foreign language] reporter so much traffic at the crossing makes me afraid she says. Were going to have another wave of covid cases in a couple of weeks. Weve been talking to mexicos chief epidemiologist, mexicos equivalent of dr. Fauci. Hes telling us the country is now in the peak but it will be here for a couple of weeks, but those rising number of cases in tijuana and across the border in san diego will make it much harder for both countries to try and contain this spread. Guys . Ian pannell in mexico city, our thanks to you. Now to that urgent manhunt for a university of connecticut senior suspected in two murders and considered armed and dangerous. Police across three states are searching for the 23yearold. Erielle reshef joins us now with the latest. Good morning to you, erielle. Reporter good morning, eva.

Authorities say he was last spotted in east stroudsburg, new jersey in this black volkswagen jetta. It was discovered in new jersey at the pennsylvania border.

Reporter sunday morning another man reported being held against his will by manfredonia who police say stole the mans truck, food and firearms. That truck was found abandoned in derby near the home where investigate frs say he killed a childhood friend before fleeing the state in another stolen car. We are investigating all the possible leads that we have. Reporter manfredonia was studying business and engineering at the university of connecticut. The school says it is working with authorities in this investigation. Police say if you see manfredonia, do not approach him, and call 911 immediately. Eva. Erielle reshef for us, thank you. We of course will continue to follow the latest on the hunt for that suspect. Michael . Were going to turn to something on the happier side. The g. O. A. T. Showdown on the green is trending big. Peyton manning and tiger woods faced off against tom brady and Phil Mickelson. From the trash talk to the moment a sixtime super bowl champ split his pants on the course. T. J. Holmes joins us with that and more, hopefully not too much more, t. J. Good morning. Reporter no, well leave it there. Still were in strange times right now, stra. We gathered around the tv on a sunday to watch two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time compete in a sport other than football. Thats sports these days, right, guys . Still, this was supposed to be an exhibition. They turned it into a very serious but still wildly entertaining competition. Game day has arrived. The match is on. Reporter brady versus manning, but on the greens, not the gridiron. Theyre hitting shots in the rain. Reporter teaming up with golf pros tiger woods and Phil Mickelson for an epic clash simply dubbed the match with sir Charles Barkley in the broadcast booth. He got all those balls like he going to hit all those balls reporter the trash talk started. You bring eli. He could do that. You bring nick foles, maybe. Thats a cheap shot. Reporter the match was a sight for sportsstarved eyes, and there was some great golf. After a rain delay teammates manning and woods took on early lead. Bam, oh, peyton manning. Reporter but sixtime super bowl Champ Tom Brady struggled to stay on target. Yikes. I see it. Did it cover it . Its still in the sand there. Tiger and phil came out, took three swings and theyre ready to go. Ive taken about 3,000. Reporter he even had a wardrobe issue, splitting his pants. But ever the golden boy, making this amazing shot on the 7th hole. Oh, go in. Oh, my goodness reporter social media was eating it up, reacting to the contest in real time, including bradys wife wishing her hubby luck, and from little brother eli manning, a pro tip. Maybe aim for the green parts. In the end, manning and woods were victorious. Way to go, bro. Way to go. Great job, man. Reporter but the match was a win all around. The event raised 20 million for covid relief and will be auctioning off items used during the match like these customized golf carts. Its called the match, but this was really, stra, the match part two. It was woods and mickelson that went headtohead for the first the match back in 2018 for a 9 million prize. Mickelson won that. Already people are talking about clamoring for the match part three, whatever that might be. Also, i think people are looking for when professional sports is going to come back. Do you have any idea on that . Reporter yeah. Theres some movement for all the leagues. The nba, first of all, they have some facilities open. Some teams have opened their Training Facilities to players, but now theres talks the nba is in talks with disney, our Parent Company here at abc news, to actually put all the games, practices and teams and house the players at one complex in florida at one disney complex. Theyre talking about possibly a july start. The mlb hasnt started their season yet. Theyre in negotiations this week. Theyre going back and forth about money, the players and owners, but theyre eyeing possibly a july start to their season. The nhl does not have a timeline for when they come back, but they actually the players have at least approved an expanded playoff season. So theyre kind of getting the season in place even though they dont know when the players might come back. So safety is key to get protocols and guidelines in place first of all, but looks like some movement, stra. All right, a lot of fans hoping it works out. T. J. , thank you so much for that, my friend. We are following a lot of other headlines this morning including those food fears, concern about supplies with so Many Companies hit hard by the pandemic.

We begin with new questions about the food supply after those meat plant closures. Meat packing plants one of the key hot spots for coronavirus transmissions and the impact is still being felt at your local grocery store. But how long will it last . Will reeve joins from pittsburgh with more. Good morning to you, will. Reporter good morning, michael. Usually around memorial day Grocery Stores have sales on hot dogs and hamburgers, but this year covid19 has reeked havoc on the Food Supply Chain and thats driving costs up everywhere. Memorial day might look different this morning for millions of americans amid the pandemic. What we have seen, the disruption, across the entire Food Supply Chain. Reporter the nations Food Industry taking a hit, reeling from the effects of covid. Authorities say food packing plants are coronavirus hot spots, along with Nursing Homes and correctional facilities. According to the cdc, nearly 5,000 meat packing workers at 115 facilities in 19 states have been infected with covid19. Dozens of plants across the country closing for days or even weeks to slow or stop the spread of the virus. The facility itself did not really have the proper method in place to really protect the front line workers, and we started to see one plant after the other really got exposed. Reporter just last week, tyson foods confirming 570 workers in one of their North Carolina poultry facilities tested positive for the virus. Thats more than a quarter of the plants total workforce. And its not just meat plants. Last week at a dole fresh vegetable plant in ohio, Health Officials identified 20 cases of covid. They say the company is doing everything right in the heat of the outbreak and is working with authorities on contact tracing. Dole saying it will continue to place Employee Health and wellbeing above all else. But with supplies down, prices are surging. This month fresh beef rose 11. 9 compared to last year, chicken increasing 7. 5 , and the pandemic is not just affecting our meat supply this memorial day. Consumers are reportedly paying 4. 5 more for carbonated drinks like soda and 3. 8 more for snack foods. We are seeing obviously the higher prices, shortages in certain commodities, and this will continue. This impact will actually outlast the virus itself. Reporter according to the u. S. Bureau of labors Consumer Price index report, grocery bills were up 2. 6 in april. Thats the largest monthly increase in nearly 50 years, michael. The shortage is being felt. Thank you so much, will. We are joined live now by nicholas bertram, president of the giant company, the Supermarket Chain operating 186 stores under the giant and martin brands from pennsylvania to virginia. Mr. Bertram, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Weve seen shortages at supermarkets across the country which were pretty bad a few weeks ago. But what are you seeing right now in your stores . Good morning, michael. I would say what were seeing is continued improvement week over week. The entire american Food Supply Chain has been hustling and working very hard to make sure theres more availability. Were starting to see that. We are seeing it on the side counters, in the meat departments, in our fresh meat cases and really across everything. Even though theres not the variety that consumers saw precovid, its definitely improving every single week. What items are still in short supply, and when do you think those items and the availability will be back to normal . Some of the classics would be like paper goods and household cleaners. Those types of things have not yet fully recovered. You have some things in the baking aisle and spices that have not fully recovered as well. Then youve got great things like fruit and veg where if you have a great local supplier like our company does, you really didnt see any impact at all. Even in meat, poultry and meat are looking good right now and beef is showing recovery, albeit a bit slower. We see the unfortunate struggles in the meat packing plants across the country but has that affected your meat supply . I think you just said there hasnt been any effect on the meat. It was supposed to. I was visiting stores over the weekend and sent a note to our head of meat and seafood, her name is deb, and asked her where are the problems. She reminded me that she had already diversified the network and put what we call primals inside our stores. I didnt see any problems and in fact we removed limits for consumers just last week. So it is coming back, michael. A lot of consumers will be happy with that. Are you seeing surprising trends in terms of what people are now buying . Yeah, actually exploration. I think there are going to be a lot of Budding Chefs coming out of covid. People are going into more tropical fruits, exotic vegetables, specialty and ethnic meal kits are definitely on the rise in the stores, meal prep. So there are some fun things that are going to come out of this even though there are still a lot of hard things that were all getting through together. A lot of people making good out of all this. Can you tell us about precautions that your company is taking for the store workers, for the customers, to make sure that when more customers come into the store that theyre safe . Yeah, safety is very important for us, especially for the 36,000 teammates that im responsible for. We worked really hard to get ppe available for them as soon as possible and that supply is now good. We installed shields. We limited the number of people that were in stores and do some things that customers thought were a little too far like oneway aisles. But it was all about safety for our teammates and customers whenever they actually came in. As social distancing has become a bit more normal, were able to relax certain things but there are other things that we will not relax because safety is to come first. Better safe than sorry. Thank you so much for your time this morning. We appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, michael. Eva . Coming up later, camps going virtual. How kids can still have fun and avoid brain drain this summer. Next, the bike spike across the country. Becky worley breaks down why theres a bicycle shortage and how you can still find one. Just take whits. Whit. There are people who say things arent made here anymore. Those people should make a trip to michigan. Or kentucky. Or illinois. Where youll find our workers and dealers and engineers and technicians. Building for america. Were proud to employ more hourly workers than any other automaker in this country. Because we build for this country. I came across sofi and it was the best decision of my life. Were getting a super competitive Interest Rate on our money. Were able to invest through the same exact platform. I got approved for a loan and it was a gamechanger. Truly sofi, thank you for helping me prepare for whatever the future has in store. You are. Cause frosted mini wheats are made to fill people up. And they have 10 layers of wheat and seven vitamins and minerals. Just one bowl and youre good till lunch. Back now with the socalled bike spike. So many businesses are struggling right now but theres actually a nationwide shortage of bicycles. Its a story we first saw in the new york times, and becky worley joins us from San Francisco with more on if you can actually still find one. Good morning to you, becky. Reporter good morning, eva. Whether youre turning to a bike for transportation or for exercise, theyre a godsend right now. But if youre trying to buy one, good luck. Quarantined and inside has become free wheeling and out. That is if you already own a bike. Demand for bicycles is riding high. Sales of kids bikes up 59 , commuter bikes up 66 , and leisure bikes up 121 . So for someone like eddie morgan, its an uphill climb. I planned on getting a bike to help me start exercising, start moving around more and getting out more. Reporter he says he went to seven stores in two weeks and struck out. A lot of them were out of stock. It was hard trying to find exactly what i wanted. Reporter Dicks Sporting Goods and rei have limited inventory available for curbside pickup, and local chains are selling out on delivery. The demand for new bikes which we cant get because the pipeline basically dried up. Reporter Industry Experts telling us they were caught off guard. Sales have been unexpectedly robust throughout the country to the point where we have had trouble actually keeping pace. Im selling way more pink and purple to guys because theyre just like, whatever, doesnt matter what color it is, thats it is what it is. Its a bike. Reporter in fact, many now turning to used bikes. So if you have an old, unused bike maybe out in the garage, now is a great time to sell it. Checking next door, craigs list and facebook marketplace, it was slim pickings. And when you find a bike, its not cheap. And all this bike riding creates a need for bike maintenance. My brakes are shot. But the wait time to get an appointment at my local shop is more than three weeks. So diy bike maintenance . When you pull an old bike out of a garage, usually a few simple adjustments can really set an old bike and make it completely serviceable. Reporter like oiling the chain, regripping the handlebars or replacing a punctured tube. All good advice if it lets you feel this free. One other category of bikes whizzing off the racks, ebikes. So many people thinking about how theyll commute to work when businesses reopen and they want to avoid crowded public transit, eva. Becky, any advice you were able to get from these bike insiders about how you can actually get a bike if you want one . Reporter three specific tips. The hardest bikes to come by are in the 500 to 1,000 range. So you want to think outside of those prices. Also, medium sized frames are the hardest to find. Large and small are easier. And be flexible on the brand, the model and finally the color. I loved our bike guy who said he sold a lot of pink and purple bikes to guys. That is so awesome. I want to see whit on a pink bike. And a bell. Nothing wrong with a pink bike. Reporter your daughters would love that. Catch him on the weekends. Exactly, yeah. And a basket. You know it. Thank you, eva. Thank you, becky.

These are about 30 off. You can get them for under 10, some for 7. Theyre a great thing if youre going to a picnic or just in your back yard if you happen to have a pool. A lot of people are making their back yards into amusement parks so this is a great thing to have if you want to sit on the grass, carefully social distance of course. Great deal, target is doing that. We love that. Sunscreen, the sun is out, sunscreen is a must. There are actually some bargains on sunscreen right now. What do you have . There are. My kids are always begging to go outside right now, and so we cant forget about the sunscreen. Its really important. And what walgreens is doing is theyre doing a buy one, get one 50 off sale.

Hawaiian tropic, banana boat, some of these are actually tested in our Good Housekeeping beauty lab, so i can vouch for them. This is a time when a lot of us are working from home and revamping our home office. Are there deals out there to help us make our home offices look better . Definitely, eva. This is not a great time for tech deals, but there are great things that a lot of us who want to upgrade our makeshift home office can do like lighting. So home depot is actually having up to 35 off select furniture and lamps and decor and things like that. We got this lamp. You can see im just touching it. Its a great thing to do.

Up to 40 off. All about appliances that clean themselves. Definitely a big win there. Exactly, right. Lori bergamotto, thank you so much for those deals this morning. Whit . Im on board with that too. Thank you, eva. Now to our series, hack your happiness. Before the pandemic we often discuss the many pitfalls of social media like trolling or worse. Now theres a new trend, kindness, and theres a tide of supportive, empathetic, even celebratory posts. Dan harris has more on this social shift. Reporter social media has a welldeserved reputation as being a caldron of cruelty, but in this pandemic theres been a shift with empathy moving to the forefront. Jamil zachy is a psychologist at stanford and author of the war for kindness and hes been researching empathy for 15 years. A lot of times on platforms like facebook and instagram were looking at other peoples highlight reels while we live our blooper reels. Reporter we spoke with the professor before the pandemic about an alarming trend he noticed. Studying empathy feels like being a climate scientist studying the polar ice caps. You document the benefits of something just as it disappears. Reporter he told us about research that showed americans were becoming significantly less kind. Reporter the average american was less empathic than 75 of americans just 30 years before. Reporter but heres the good news. Empathy, once thought to be a hardwired trait, is actually more of a skill. And during this pandemic many of us seem to be working on that skill. Making kindness our routine, making it a habit and it can just become part of who we are. Reporter and social distancing, zachy says flip it around when it comes to social media. Instead of social distancing, distance socializing. Reach out to others and try to make a difference for them. Reporter these days we might even find a meaningful connection online. We now are using these platforms to be vulnerable. Reporter like many parents, im overwhelmed and tired. I recently posted this picture on instagram. It says it all with the caption, really running out of things to do with this kid. Were vulnerable together, which shows us all we have in common and how much we need each other. Reporter for Good Morning America, dan harris in new york. Our thanks to dan for that. Lets head over to ginger at home. Ginger, good morning. Reporter hey, weve been stacking stuff on the dog and the kids. Im with you dan. Hi, whit. Good morning to everybody else. Should we do a little gma moment. This comes to us from Staten Island and i know with that extra time, a lot of tiktoks are happening. And amelia who is five was so surprised that her tiktok finally worked, yeah, she rocked it right up there on her head. She had been working on that thing for days. Oh, you did it. I say thats a good use of time. All right, hope your tiktoks go well today and hope you can send me a gma moment. Go to my facebook page, hit me up on instagram and well share the smile with the rest of america. Good morning. Im abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco. On this memorial day, unfortunately, we have poor air quality and dangerous heat that will last through at least thursday. A sea breeze will break it come friday and bring us a slight chance of showers, even cooler weather this weekend. 74 at Half Moon Bay to 100 in fairfield and antioch. Thats our summer spread today. Tonight, 50s and 60s, but up in the hills, 70s. My accuweather sevenday forecast, record highs possible tuesday and wednesday. It is time now i just want to shout it is time now for gmas ultimate back yard barbecue. Memorial day is the unofficial start of summer and grilling season, and today its all about skewers with bon appetits editorinchief, Adam Rapoport. Lets take a look at the grill master at work. Hey guys, im Adam Rapoport from bon appetit, and today we are making chicken speedy. Reporter this tasty recipe calling for what many likely already have in their cupboards. What i like about this recipe, its super simple, affordable and accessible. Its basically chicken skewers marinated in a creamy italian homemade dressing. Reporter step one, whisk your dressing with a bit of sugar to help your chick caramelize on the grill. Next, cut into strips instead of chunks. Finally, combine your chicken and half the dressing in a resealable bag to marinate. Then its time to fire up the grill. I like my coals really hot before you put the chicken on because you want a nice char on the outside and cooked through. I went with boneless chicken breasts because thats what i had in my freezer but boneless chicken thighs are also really great. Really juicy, really flavorful. Reporter not to be forgotten, the side. After were done grilling the chicken were going to grill up some sweet onions to make a grilled onion and tomato salad. Reporter brush the onions with olive oil and grill them until they are golden brown. Then toss those together with your tomatoes. We will take the dressing that we reserved on the side before we used the other half and dress the salad with it. Theres your grilled onion and tomato salad with creamy italian dressing. Thanks, guys. Adam rapoport is joining us from his back yard right now. Good morning, adam. How are you doing, my friend . Im good, michael. How are you . Im hungry now after watching that piece right there. Adam, so many people are staying at home right now. A lot of people are in their kitchen, me being one of them, but for anyone who is intimidated by the grill, what is your number one tip for firing it up this summer . I think counter intuitive, you want to get it hot because, a, thats going to give you that nice crisp sear on the outside of your steak, burger or dog, and the hotter it is, the less things will stick to the grill. The only time you want that medium, mediumlow is if youre doing bonein chicken and you want it to cook slowly and cook all the way through. Great advice because most guys wanted to ask that but they wouldnt because every man i know, i know how to grill, when we really dont. Cleared that up for a lot of guys out there. You would be surprised, michael. Exactly. You made chicken skewers but with meat in such high demand, what if someone doesnt have that . Is there something they can swap to make it work . Absolutely. Whether youre using shrimp, pork, beef, mushrooms, the important thing is youre doing it on a skewer and marinating it. It cooks evenly and quickly. Lets talk about the marinade. You say this one is a great way to use whatever you have left over in your pantry. What are the options . What i love about it is you got the mayo, vinegar. I used Apple Cider Vinegar but you can also use rice vinegar which is great for everything. Red wine vinegar is fine. I use cherry pickled tomatoes pickled peppers, excuse me, but you could also use regular pickles, pickled jalapeno. You want something briney and pickly. Mix it together, sugar to sweeten it up. Could not be easier. Weve all seen the classic kebab, meat, veggies, all kinds of things on there, but you say thats not actually the best way to grill. Why is that . When you and i were growing up, our parents were throwing those on and you get the overcooked beef, the undercooked onion, the tomato thats falling apart. Its a disaster. Cook everything the same. So put all your protein on one skewer, all your onions and vegetables on the other so theyll cook at the exact same time so you get that perfect doneness. If you mix them up, youre asking for trouble. My mom said that was building up the immune system when something wasnt cooked. Im joking. You do have a bonus recipe youre going to share with us. Its perfect for people who stocked up on rice. Yeah. So we all stocked up on rice when it was time to quarantine. What i like to do is make a pot of rice, michael. Then ill throw in some grilled scallions ill throw on the grill. Ive got fresh herbs, cilantro, basil, parsley. Ill toast some almonds, peanuts, pistachios, toss those in together with a little fresh lemon juice, and boom, you got your rice salad. Oh man, bon appetits Adam Rapoport, thank you so much, man, for making us hungrier this morning. We appreciate your time. You guys at home can get these recipes on our website at goodmorningamerica.

Its amazing. Its a big tone. To be a part of it, to be on that set, to be where this historical event really happened was amazing. Then to play that character, like the next line in that little scene that you just saw, she says, i will club your balls into your belly. So to be able to play a woman like that at that time whos just kind of finding her own power, it was really exciting. You just made me sit up really straight with that, that next line. We have to ask you about another show how to get away with murder. You were on the show in season one. Your character sort of came back in the final episode. What did you think of the finale .

She walked up to me and she said we shoot you in the face. I was like, sorry i couldnt be there. They really apparently the character just turned super, super, super evil at the last minute.

Joining us live this morning from dublin is author eoin cofler. Thanks for joining us. Congratulations on the success and the new movie coming out. Lets jump right to it. People of all ages have fallen in love with the series since the first book debuted back in 2000. Now this allstar cast, we got to drop a few names, josh gad, judi dench, Colin Farrell, ferdia shaw as how does it feel to have this story that youve been working on for almost two decades now come to life in a Motion Picture . It is very cool. The coolest thing is that technically i am the father figure in the book so Colin Farrell is playing me, so thats im pretty happy about that. Absolutely. Thats a good choice. We talked about the cast and you mentioned Colin Farrell. Did you have any say in picking out that cast . I had a meeting a few years ago and the one thing we wanted to try and do was to find an irish boy to play artemis which we found or he found ferdia shaw whos fantastic. But after that it was the best performer for the job so any race, any gender. It was all up for grabs, and i think really with judi dench and Laura Mcdonald and of course the amazing josh gad, you can see him there, we definitely got the best people for the job. The trailer is incredible. In the movie, artemis ends up discovering a world below ground of Armed Dangerous and extremely high tech fairies who may be behind his fathers disappearance. Theres a clip were about to show and artemis realizes that his father has been hiding a clue to his whereabouts that only artemis could find. Lets take a look. Who wrote this . Nobody knows. Thats just it. How did you find it . Its known as the irish blessing. Its a journal. Its dads journal. You can see that suspense building. You have two sons yourself. Have they been into the series . Have they read the book . Sometimes as a parent you cant always get your kids to be into the same things that youre into, right . When this movie was initially going to be in the theaters there they are. I said to my two boys, finn and sean, only people who have read the book are going to the premiere. The younger guy, sean, said to me, where exactly is the premiere . If its in london, im not reading it. If its in l. A. , i will read it. So he was prepared to read it to go to los angeles but im not sure now how thats going to go. Its hard because you can watch it in the sitting room now on disney plus. So it might not be enough incentive. Smart kid. Im sure hes excited to see the movie coming out. Yeah. I want to talk about josh gad for a moment. Hilarious, plays olaf from f z froz frozen. Hes going to be on the show a little while from now to talk about the movie as well. Did he pull any funny pranks there . Were looking at a picture of him here reading while in costume on set. I think ive met josh a few times now socially and for work and knowing him as you do and i do, the most unlikely thing you would see is josh being still and quiet. The first time i met him he was being scanned for his digital avatar on set, and so he had to stand absolutely still for 15 minutes while i was dancing around being the funny guy. I think that it was very difficult for him to stay still because hes such a natural and fantastic comedian. So that was an unusual first meeting because i thought this guys not very friendly. Hes not saying a word. But i realized later he had to stay still for digital reasons. Hes a pro, a professional, doing what he has to do. Eoin, thank you so much. Again, congratulations on the movie coming out. Of course you can binge all of eoins artemis fowl novels before the movie comes out on disney plus on june 12th. Coming up, golden globe winner ramy youssef is with us live. Ive been involved in. Communications in the media for 45 years. Ive been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. And i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. It has helped me an awful lot. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Welcome back to gma. We are back with a very funny guest joining us. Ramy youssef is the golden globe winning creator and star of the show ramy which is loosely based on his life as a millennial Muslim American. Good morning to you and thank you so much for being with us this morning. Lets start first, when you won the golden globe earlier this year you said, quote, i know you guys havent seen my show. Has that changed . Yeah, apparently people a little reverse psychology works. It really it felt like the show just came out again, you know. I said it i wasnt planning on anything. I really didnt think i would win. I looked down and i was looking at brad pitt. I was like, yeah, i dont think you and seen it. The word is out. Its a huge success. When you head outside now, i know sometimes we have to wear face masks given the situation that were in, but are people recognizing you more and more when youre out on the street after winning the golden globe . Yeah. Preface mask for sure and then i actually was wearing it and a few people came up to me and i was like, wow, i didnt think this would happen with a mask on but it did. Yeah, thats definitely been crazy. Even behind the mask, thats impressive. Yeah. I heard somewhere that you actually left the golden globe statue at your moms house. Is that the case . Why is that . I didnt leave it there. It was confiscated pretty much immediately. My mom was like im taking this. I was like, yeah, you deserve this. Ive put you through too much. At least you get to have the globe. Mom earned that globe, she says, right . Weve got a clip from the new season. Lets take a look. Its like the more people im with, the lonelier i feel. I went to egypt to try and find something and i just made my whole life worse. I want you to be my teacher. I want to take the bait. I want to kill my ego. How do i know im not just another one of your desires . I dont want to have sex with you. I didnt think you did. Okay. Thats oscar winning actor Mahershala Ali in that scene with you. Hes joined the show for season two. How did you get him on board . He was so kind. He just called after watching the first season and he was so happy to see just a show thats about a pralcticing muslim, thats not about terrorism. Its about someone trying to get closer to their faith. It felt very close to his own real life experience, so he was just calling to say congrats and he was like, hey, you know, im here as a friend. Let me know if you need anything. Then pretty quickly i was like, hey, you know about that part where you said if i need anything, do you want to be on the show . And then we got him to do a couple episodes which turned into a big season the more we worked together on the character. Thats amazing. Ramy, you touched on this briefly, but your show intersects two story lines brilliantly, a faith journey as a Muslim American and what its like to grow up as a millennial in new jersey. Which was a more challenging story to tell . You know, its hard to really get into new jersey, man. Like its funny, for all the misconceptions around muslims, theres like a billion of us and people are like, yeah, i know a muslim. But new jersey, people dont get us, you know. Its two outsider stories. Truly, truly people who are misunderstood. But muslims are the best and new jersey is the best state in the country. Thats kind of my mission to show both of those things. You represent both well, thats for sure. People in new jersey are proud of you this morning. Season two of ramy premieres friday on hulu. Well be right back. Premieres friday on hulu.
