Some show days just have everything — inventors, artists, doctors, designers, and musicians all in one place. This was one of those days. We covered oral health, board games, Italian sparkling water, ceremonial matcha, plant-based wellness, cellular aging science, a heartfelt tribute to America’s truckers, and a front-row seat to Met Gala fashion. Here’s the full rundown.

SmileSip: The World’s First Oral Health Drink Is Back

Regular viewers will remember Misty Mattingly, President of SmileSip USA — and she’s back with exciting news. For the uninitiated: SmileSip is the world’s first oral health drink, created by Australian doctor Dr. Angie Lang. The concept is simple and brilliant — sip, swish, swallow. No mouthwash, no brushing required. It cleans teeth, freshens breath, combats dry mouth, and provides cavity protection, all in a functional beverage that’s pH neutral, meaning it actively stops the acid from everyday drinks like coffee and soda from breaking down tooth enamel.

This visit brought new developments. New stick packaging is being launched specifically for the US market, and the product is coming to Amazon soon. A celebrity endorsement is in the works with a health-conscious personality. And perhaps most compelling — the military is actively looking into SmileSip for its personnel.

Misty also highlighted the gut health connection that many people overlook: oral health and gut health are directly linked, and SmileSip functions as a prebiotic, supporting good bacteria in both the mouth and the digestive system. Bad breath, it turns out, is often a gut issue.

The product comes in six flavors — mango, matcha rose, mixed berry, watermelon, pink lemonade, and one made especially for kids, though as Misty noted, all flavors work for everyone. Available at smilesipusa.com.

Best moment: Donna being corrected on technique — you don’t swish it aggressively like a mouthwash. You sip it like a fine wine.

Roast: The S’mores Card Game Born Out of the Pandemic

Doug Ray, Co-Founder of Small Rice Studios out of Seattle, brought one of the most delightful products we’ve had on the show — Roast, a card game built around the simple, joyful goal of building the best s’mores around a campfire before your opponents can ruin yours. What started as a pandemic-era project to keep two brothers connected across coasts has grown into a national brand now carried in 11 states and over 70 stores.

The origin story is genuinely sweet. Doug and his brother thought back to the family card games they grew up with — the intensity of Uno, those satisfying “take that” moments — and built something designed to bring people back together. What started as hand-drawn cards tested at the kitchen table has become a polished, widely distributed product.

The gameplay has real depth despite its approachable premise. Marshmallows stack up the stick in layers — the higher they go, the more points they’re worth — but players can use character cards to sabotage each other. Highlights include the Dread Pirate Captain Jack Malo, who can switch your sticks, and the Malo Knight, who defends your s’more with a tiny sword. It’s a 2–8 player party game for ages 8 to 99, and Doug says most new players are fully hooked within two rounds.

The game is available on their website (not Amazon — a deliberate choice), and Doug is in talks with specialty food brands about bundling it with premium s’more ingredients. A companion app is also in development — a recipe matcher where players unlock creative s’more combinations.

Doug surprised Donna with two custom gifts: a hand-carved, hand-glued wooden keepsake box made specifically for her, and a one-of-a-kind playable card created by their artist Lola — Donna Malo — a caricature of Donna holding her card and her TV, complete with her signature “happy journeys” sign-off. Donna was visibly moved. Worth noting: Doug emphasized that Roast uses no AI-generated artwork. Every card is hand-illustrated by Lola.

Sibilla Spring Water: Four Generations of Italian Craftsmanship in Every Bottle

Alessandro Mini, Founder of Sibilla Spring Water, joined Donna to introduce one of the world’s most extraordinary water brands — built on four generations of family expertise in bottling. Alessandro and his father sold their previous beverage business and re-emerged with something new: a line anchored by low-sodium, naturally alkaline (pH 8.2) Italian spring water, presented in stunning bottles inspired by Roman columns, with embossed details referencing the Roman origins of the spring source.

From that foundation, Sibilla has expanded into organic Italian sodas made with real fruit juice and pulp, and organic iced teas brewed from actual tea leaves — not flavored concentrates. The analogy Alessandro used: it’s the same process as making tea at home on a Sunday afternoon, just scaled to thousands of bottles at a time.

Donna tried the arancia rossa — blood orange soda — on air for the first time and was immediately sold. The brand is currently available at The Fresh Market, Northshore Farms on Long Island, and Central Market in Texas, with North American expansion as a clear goal. It also works beautifully as a cocktail mixer and aperitivo base.

OORA Matcha: Ground to Order from Uji, Japan

Zaineh Bataineh, CEO of OORA Enterprises, brought the full ceremonial matcha experience to the studio. An entrepreneur since age 14 — she started by selling hand-wrapped headpieces to rappers in exchange for concert tickets — Zaineh eventually found her footing when she turned her genuine obsession with matcha into a business.

What sets OORA apart from what you’d find in most cafes? It’s sourced exclusively from Uji, Japan — the gold standard of matcha origin — and it’s hand-ground and ground to order. That means when you buy a tin, the matcha inside was processed that same week. One hour of hand-grinding produces just 30 grams — exactly one tin. The result is matcha packed with L-theanine, the compound responsible for matcha’s smooth, jitter-free caffeine delivery.

Zaineh’s COO and partner — who she credited warmly — personally traveled to Uji to vet farms until they found the right one. The vibrant green color of the final product is proof of quality. On air, Donna tried a matcha latte made with oat milk and maple syrup and was genuinely impressed. How to tell if your matcha is ready: bright green and foamy. How to make it: sift about 3 grams, whisk with warm water using a traditional bamboo chasen, then pour over your milk of choice.

OORA also supplies cafes and is expanding that channel. Their website includes a full how-to guide.

Khaya Botanicals: Plants That Saved a Life

Montoya Fontenot, Founder and Owner of Khaya Botanicals, joined from California with one of the most powerful backstories of the day. In 2012, she was on her way to a basketball tournament when an ear infection sent her to the hospital — where the pharmaceuticals she was given destroyed her liver. After being misdiagnosed and sent home twice, she was eventually admitted in serious condition.

Her response? She refused more medication and healed herself with milk thistle and dandelion — two well-documented liver-supporting herbs. That experience launched a lifelong natural healing journey and ultimately the creation of Khaya Botanicals. “Khaya” means life — to give life and to rejuvenate.

Her product line includes avocado seed butter (works on both skin and hair, feels like silk), and sea moss — the product she’s most passionate about. She takes it daily, her whole family does, and she credits it with helping rebuild tissue around her son’s heart ahead of his second surgery, when surgeons found unexpectedly healthy tissue regrowth. Sea moss also fights inflammation, boosts energy, supports thyroid health, and aids digestion. Her soaps are currently in such high demand she’s been producing at full capacity.

The philosophy behind Khaya is intentional wellness — being more in tune with your own body and supporting health through what nature provides. Montoya walked into the studio glowing, and Donna said as much.

Cellitas: The Cellular Aging Supplement Backed by Clinical Science

One of the more science-forward segments featured Dr. Lucy Jones, Chief Medical Officer calling in from London, and Sara Rotman, CEO, who together introduced Cellitas — a supplement focused on healthy aging through a process called autophagy.

Dr. Jones broke it down clearly: autophagy is the cellular housekeeping process that clears out damaged proteins, broken mitochondria, and cellular debris. It happens in every cell in your body, all the time — and it’s essential. From around age 40, autophagy naturally declines, which is closely associated with the visible and functional changes we see as we age.

Cellitas was developed with dieticians, doctors, and aging specialists, and has completed a clinical trial — 40+ participants, six months of daily use. The key finding: a biomarker called Beclin-1 increased by 32%, indicating meaningfully higher autophagy activity in participants’ cells.

Sara, who came to the project through the founder — a biomedical engineer and biohacker — explained the consumer version of the science simply: centenarians who live well past 100 consistently show higher sustained autophagy levels than average. Cellitas was designed to support that same mechanism. She noted personal benefits including better sleep, improved energy, and reduced brain fog. The product contains four ingredients, is available direct to consumer, and was recently picked up by Laurel Supply, a new luxury wellness retailer in Los Angeles. Also available through select concierge doctors’ offices and med spas.

Christopher Wyze & The Tellers: Soul on the Road

Christopher Wyze, blues artist and frontman of Christopher Wyze & The Tellers, joined by video from Indianapolis to talk about the reissue of his song and video “Soul on the Road” — a heartfelt salute to America’s truck drivers, timed to National Defense Transportation Day on May 15, part of National Transportation Week.

The song tells a fictional story, opening with “I met a fella,” following a man whose world is the windshield in front of him — what Christopher calls a “windshield movie.” It’s become a genuine tribute within the trucking community, and Christopher has since made a habit of stopping at truck stops and taking in the scale of the industry up close.

The stats are staggering: trucks move 72–73% of all US freight, generating over $900 billion annually. There are 3.5 million drivers on the road, supporting 8 million total jobs, hauling 11 billion tons of freight per year. And right now, the industry is facing a real driver shortage.

Christopher is heading to Mississippi soon to record a new album of originals with co-writer and producer Ralph Carter, likely at Muscle Shoals, Alabama — where they recorded his previous album, Stuck in the Mud. He has 15 songs ready to go.

His parting observation was one of the best of the day: 3.5 million people on the road for hours at a time, listening to music and podcasts. Truckers are one of the most loyal and engaged audiences in America — and they deserve to be celebrated.

If you’re a trucker or you love one, go find his music. You won’t regret it.

Evan Hirsch: Met Gala Moments and Tribeca Style

Renowned fashion designer Evan Hirsch returned to the show riding a remarkable wave. Fresh off his third Met Gala, an upcoming honor at the Goodwill New York/New Jersey Gala, and a red carpet appearance at the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere, Evan brought the kind of creative energy that makes every conversation with him feel like a front-row seat.

This year’s Met Gala theme — Fashion is Art — was a natural fit for Evan, who created a custom handbag for Virginia Maloney, representative for District 4, to complement her Daenerys-inspired gown on the Met steps. His jaw-dropping moment of the night? Emma Chamberlain, whose gown looked as though it was literally dripping paint, cascading down into a giant pooled train of brushstrokes with matching paint-drip sleeves. “If this is the bar,” Evan said, “it’s going to be a great red carpet.”

On the Goodwill front, Evan’s long-running practice of upcycling pieces from shopgoodwill.com — which began as a personal Instagram project he was half-afraid would get him in trouble — has blossomed into a full partnership. This year he’s one of the featured designers at the Goodwill NY/NJ Gala, transforming thrifted pieces into runway-ready garments. He’s also traveled south to speak with other designers as part of Goodwill’s broader creative initiatives.

His red carpet advice? Don’t play it safe. Treat it like a stage. Dion Warwick walked a red carpet in slippers — and looked iconic doing it. Evan himself is planning mirrored silver boots for the Tribeca Festival’s 25th anniversary celebrations, and may be enlisting Donna for some custom appliqué work to complete the look.
