Today I got to text “Sorry I’m late, my wrist caught on fire a little when my curling iron exploded into flames.” It was thrilling. It smelled like roasted tires. IM FINE IT WAS MOSTLY FUNNY. Now I’m curious: What’s y’alls best real excuse for being late?
Lava oceans, space caves, crater names and one drunk moose: an episode about ✨THE MOOOON✨ with #selenologist @thespacegeologist aka Raquel Nuno. She is brilliant, warm and enthusiastic and you will love her. Link in bio, photo in my closet.
Oh hey yes also if you like #foods then maybe tune into @cookingchannel tonight and I will tell you the weird history of ✨sUgaRplUms✨ on #FoodFactOrFiction at 10pE/7p PST alright bye now
Buuurbye, Detroit. We just shot 80+ host segments for season TWOOO of “Did I Mention Invention?” @cwinventiontv — @thecw show that I am very lucky to host. Thank you to our really chill, hardworking crew for the necessary poking/prodding, our smart, kind, kickass producers and @thehenryford for getting this show made and letting me wear ribbonny ties as much as I do
Oh look, CLASSICAL ARCHEOLOGIST, Roman expert and famous TV host @dariusaryadigs! This week’s @ologies episode delvesdeep under Rome and into stabby political scandals, wars, togas, toilets, buried sculptures, bathhouses, lead poisoning and more. His brain is an encyclopedia and he’s so passionate about Italian history. Listen at link in my bio and follow him @dariusaryadigs for great photos and to hear more about his upcoming podcast. He’s the coolest sidenote I ONLY wear this mustard sweater and zero makeup now it’s my new thing
I WANT TO SNIFF THEM
Wanna watch stuff this weekend? #Brainchild is the @NYTimes top pick for TV! Aaaah! I’m freakin’ out. BRAINCHILD: on Netflix (germs, dreams, social media FOMO and more, produced by @pharrell, hosted by @sahana.j.srinivasan and then I come in with a beehive to explain science) INNOVATION NATION: CBS (this week: spinach leaf used to replace heart tissue!) DID I MENTION INVENTION?: CW, morning (this week: re-air of the series premiere of the show I host for @thecw!) @netflix @cbsinnovationtv @cwinventiontv #brainchild @mimivaldes @jerkolber @lokabbaj @thejoegabriel
The middle seat is empty which is pretty much the same as a private jet (ps: when I land we can discuss the watch + fitbit + hair tie choice)
