Drew Barrymore gets a lot of attention for her positivity and the reassuring attitude she projects in to many of her Drew Barrymore Show guests and audience members, but today, one particular audience member gave Drew some positivity and reassurance that she’s doing a great job as a mom, which brought her to tears. And it all began with raw eggs.
It all began during her daily Drew’s News segment, while she and co-host Ross Mathews discussed musician and DJ Calvin Harris’ routine to avoid jet lag. They explained that Harris brings raw eggs on airplanes when he flies, where he cracks them and drinks them in the air. Barrymore was handed a glass of raw eggs and asked, “How many people would do this?” and that’s when one man enthusiastically raised his hand.
The man, who identified himself as Bill, took the glass from Barrymore, who told him, “Oh my God, I love you, Bill,” and watched as he downed at least four raw eggs.
“Bill, what’s one thing we need to know about you, other than what you just accomplished?” Barrymore asked him, clearly awestruck.
“I traveled the world as a teacher and ate a lot of weird stuff,” Bill explained, adding that he taught every age from kindergarten through high school. “It’s really, what didn’t I teach.”
Impressed with his pedigree, Barrymore said, “Bill, not only are you the coolest dude on the planet, but may I ask a piece of advice from you? I’m a parent of two young girls, I’m heavily involved in their school— “
“Sweetie,” Bill interrupted her, almost as if to say, I know exactly who you are and your whole deal, Drew, “You’re amazing. I watched you on Instagram, even before your show, and you’re doing well. I’m so proud of you. You need to remember that when you’re feeling down on yourself, kid. I know that’s the teacher in me.”
Barrymore crumpled at his kind words, covering her face as she grew emotional, before standing up to give him a hug. The audience, too, grew teary with the man’s paternal vibes and warm words of encouragement.
And to think, all this because Calvin Harris drinks raw eggs on a plane.
