Hey, I'm Myah, this is RECAP ,
and it has been a week!
Let's get you caught up.
♪ [theme]
Last week on Instagram
we asked you to help us
build this week's
episode of RECAP.
You voted on the kind
of news you wanna see.
And the overwhelming
winner was...
(drum roll)
 feel-good stories!
I reached out to the RECAP
squad for some help
and they de-li-vered.
Get ready to smile!
I was so excited
when I saw this headline.
So Crayola will be releasing
a new set of crayons
and it's filled with
different skin tones
 from around the world.
 The new set will be called
 Colors of the World
 and it's set to
 release around July.
They worked with a makeup brand
and a Canadian makeup developer
 to create the set of colours.
 I think mine would be
 light medium golden,
 depending on how tan
 I get this summer.
I remember feeling
so frustrated as a kid
not knowing what colour I should
use to colour myself with.
It's definitely about time
kids became able
to draw people
the way they see them.
I loved this story.
Storks are usually associated
 with bringing babies
 to new parents,
 but in England this month,
 wild storks
 had their own babies.
It's the first time in 600 years
for this to happen
in the United Kingdom.
I didn't know this, but because
 of hunting and other factors,
 storks almost went extinct in
 Britain in the middle ages.
This story is so wholesome.
Thrive, storks, thrive!
Yo, did you see what
 Disney+ and Pixar did?
It was so cute.
It made me feel so amazing,
I'm not gonna lie.
They released a spark short
called Out.
 It's a nine minute
 animated short film
 featuring the studio's very
 first gay main character.
 The plot's very simple.
 It's about a grown man who's
 struggling to come out
 to his parents.
Honestly, it was so,
so, so, so cute.
I wanted to cry.
It was adorable.
And honestly, it kind of just
gives you a reminder that, hey,
love is love.
Last weekend Muslims
all around the world
celebrated Eid Al-Fitr.
It's a celebration that we host
at the end of the holy month
of Ramadan.
During that time we tend to wear
our best clothing,
our best jewellery,
we put mehndi on our hands,
and the best part
is the kids get money.
But this time things were
a little different.
We couldn't love and celebrate
the people
that we're closest to.
So when I saw this picture,
it completely changed my day.
 An Ikea storefront owner
 and a local mosque in Germany
 collaborated to hold a mass
 social distancing prayer.
 Around 800 Muslims showed up
 to an Ikea parking lot
 with their prayer mats
 and they all prayed together.
It was amazing because it shows
that even during these times,
openness and kindness
will always shine through.
Honestly, this story made me
laugh out loud.
Ok, so, Boston police officers
were patrolling the streets
near a zoo.
Someone came up to them
to tell them a peacock was
running around the streets.
 Anyway, they put their quick
 thinking to work
 and found a peacock
 mating call online.
 They played the mating call
 to lure the peacock safely
 in to a fenced yard,
 and then Boston animal control
 took over from there.
The one thing that would have
made this story even better
would have been
if the police officer
did the mating call himself.

I can not get over how freaking
adorable this is.
 CNN, Good Morning America,
and the New York Post
are all following this one year
old on Instagram who's a chef.
His name's Kobe and he helps out
 in any way he can
 in the kitchen.
 The gurgling, the smiling,
 and the chubby little hands
 he can barely even use yet,
 this one year old
 is breaking the internet
 and almost has two million
 followers on Instagram.
 His parents only started his
 account last February
 and this man even
 has brand deals.
[calls out]
He definitely does put a smile
on your face.
Could you get me some
brand deals too?
You're slacking, miss.
[babble]
Aww. Sofia!
Wasn't that fun?
And I'm pretty sure
this is the first time ever
that we've had every sidekick
represent in one episode.
That makes me feel good.
John Krasinski had fans feeling
all the feels this week.
 His hit YouTube series
Some Good News
has been sold to TV network CBS.
And that will do it.
Apparently there was
a massive bidding war.
Here's the thing.
Krasinski will stay involved,
but won't be hosting
the show moving forward.
Many fans were quick to
call him a sell-out
 and were left feeling
 not so good.
On the other hand,
can we blame him?
He launched Some Good News
while at home,
like the rest of us,
in quarantine.
But in real life,
he's a Hollywood director,
producer, and actor.
Not a YouTuber.
Right?
Cancel culture is on fire
this week, y'all.
Someone better
bring me a hose.
Close enough.
The latest celebrity to be
dragged is Jimmy Fallon.
Back in the year 2000,
he was a cast member on NBC's
 Saturday Night Live.
He did an impression of
comedian Chris Rock
in blackface.
 This week, that skit
 resurfaced on Twitter
 and "hashtag
 jimmyfallonisoverparty"
 quickly started trending.
Yes, there were a lot of
people offended by this clip.
But there was also a lot of talk
about cancel culture itself
and how it needs to stop.
In the meantime, Jimmy Fallon
tweeted an apology saying,
"I am very sorry for making this
 unquestionably offensive
 decision
 and thank you all
 for holding me accountable."
Should Saturday Night Live
and NBC also be apologizing?
We took a deeper dive into
cancel culture on our website,
including what's going on
with Doja Cat and Lana Del Rey.

Two of TikTok's biggest creators
were arrested this week on
drug-related charges.
Bryce Hall and Jaden Hossler
were on a road trip
with the
Sway House squad.
They were pulled over by police
officers in Lee County, Texas
which is kinda near Austin.
Footage of the police stop made
its way onto TikTok and YouTube.
Cue the drama.
Bryce is charged with a
Class B misdemeanour
for possession of marijuana.
In Texas, that means he could
face up to 180 days in jail
or a fine up to $2,000.
But Jaden is charged with
a second-degree felony.
Allegedly, he had more
than just marijuana on him.
He could face 20 years
in state prison
or a fine up to $10,000.
Both have been released
from jail
and fans are waiting to see
what happens next.
Big theme parks are starting to
re-open in the States.
 Legoland Florida is welcoming
back visitors this weekend.
And Universal Orlando, well
they're scheduled to re-open
 on June 5th.
 The new rules include
 lower capacity,
 six feet apart when in line
 for food and rides,
 temperature checks
 at entry,
 and mandatory mask-wearing.
Also, all mist-areas
remain closed,
and meet-and-greets with park
characters are a no-go.
Yo, Canada's Wonderland.
It's your move!
We be waiting.
Oh, and Gatorland in
Florida is already open.
And they have a new
social distancing mascot.
 Meet Skunk Ape.
 He's the enforcer for
 staying six feet apart.
[crash]
Thank you, social distancing
skunk ape.
Yeah, I'm not going
anywhere near him.
That's it for this week,
but don't feel bad.
I'll be back next week with
another brand new RECAP. Bye!
