now he's released spark of life. please welcome michael bolton. [ applause ] you kept us waiting a long time, 14 years. what inspired your new album? >> it's 14 years between original and entirely original albums as compared to other themes that i have recorded like motown, best of motown. and many others. i just stay busy. i started writing some songs that i didn't know the world was going to be stopped when we were finishing and ready to turn it in. but covid wound up inspiring me to write songs that made people feel really good. and we can lose a couple layers of the stress that we've all

been through. >> thank you for that. >> so i started playing the music for friends, to try to find out what their favorite tracks are. it was unanimous. they just, it felt so good to feel good again. >> that is the truth. you were known for your signature locks. back in 1998 you shocked the world. you cut them off. what made you do it? >> it was time for a change. i had long hair since i was about 13 years old. i was swept away by the british invasion of the beatles, the stones, the kink, zombies. all of the bands coming over with long hair. my brother and i grew long hair. suddenly after finally having hits after 18 years of trying started having hits. i just started getting the feeling it was time for a change. i had a stylist and publicist. they said, good 'cause we were going to try to talk you into cutting your hair. [ laughter ]

now you tell me. i knew when i cut it it was the right decision. yeah. but it turned out to be world news which is very strange. very strange when that's what happens in your life time. you show up on this telex tape. i happened to be in london when i found out it was on the news. >> it was big news. >> war in sudan, michael bolton has cut his hair. [ laughter ] >> is that a mistake? >> that's the news. >> you said keeping very busy. i would imagine, six grand kids keep you busy. what do they think when they see grandpa and his '80s look? >> they are amused, like me. they're amused about everything, actually. my grand daughter was with her

sister and they were in a cvs and they saw a birthday card where it's me playing guitar. if you pull me out of the bottom of the box, i sing happy birthday to you. and she wound up doing it and said g pa is so famous. [ laughter ] how is he doing this? this is a couple years ago. they're not impressed by celebrity. they will always humble you and tell you the truth whether you want to hear it or not. >> you are amusing a whole new generation on tik tok. i want to give everybody a look. ♪ how am i supposed to live without you and how am i supposed to carry on when all that i have been living for is gone ♪

biggest number one hit to a coffee dispenser? [ laughter ] >> i don't have a lot of concentration ability so that must be it. it wound up stopping the -- actually, they wanted to do some things with me. i didn't know the first thing about tik tok. i still don't. except i know a lot of fans and a lot of people are really locked in and love this. how am i supposed to live without you, perfect message to quitting coffee, if that's what you want to do. i'm constantly surprised by what's important and what's really doing well in this world. >> it's incredible. we cannot wait to hear your song. you're gonna come back and perform live for us. next, big announcement from the women's world cup. gentleman nan doug joins

back now with douglas emhoff. this morning the white house announced he will be leading the u.s. delegation heading to new zealand for the opening ceremony of the 2023 world cup later this week. let's welcome second gentleman. thank you for joining the show. we really appreciate you. we know you're going to new zealand. it's not all fun and games. you will be addressing some serious issues from gender equity and also women in sports. so what's your message?

>> well, first of all, great to see you, michael. thanks for having me on. i'm just about to get on the plane to fly the new zealand to support our great women's team usa as they go for the three peat. it's just an honor that the president asked me to lead this presidential delegation. as you said, i will be working on this message of gender equity. not only in sports but in all of society. i'm also going to be doing an event with former prime minister on pushing back on this epidemic of hate throughout the world and it's just promoting people just coming together. so i'll be supporting our amazing women's team. i'm also there to do other things as well. >> in addition to doing that, you've been spreading a message of tolerance. what have you learned about getting people to really listen and really take it to heart?

>> michael, as we all know, we all have way more in common than what divides us. and there is so much hate out there and people are just fed up with it. so as first second gentle man, one of the big things i have been working on is pushing against this epidemic of hate and finding ways to bring people together. honestly, sports is one of those things. sports unifies us, as you know, as a former athlete. that's one of the reasons i'm so excited to be on this trip to support our women's team. it's going to bring our entire country together. >> yes, it does. we all love watching the world cup. especially this u.s. team. they won two in a row. going for their third world cup in a row. no men or women's team has ever done that. you know megan rapinoe who said she's playing in her last tournament along with the other incredible athletes on that team. do you think the u.s. team could

win it all again for the third time in a row? >> i'm going to be rooting so hard there. i will be at their first game against vietnam. i just watched an interview with alex morgan, who i got a chance to talk to a couple of days ago. she's like any elite athlete. they're taking it one game at a time. she said every four years it's a different team, a different world cup. yes, we all want the three peat. they're going to take it one game at a time. they're going to be focused, disciplined, determined. and i really believe they're going to bring it home. >> did you give her any soccer tips? how to kick it, bend it, all this other stuff? >> well, you know, michael, i was a soccer dad. i was one of those coaches with my kids. then i became a referee wearing that yellow outfit with the whistle and those short shorts and the big socks. to think that, to go from that on those fields watching all these kids play and the parents rooting them on to now be representing our country on this presidential delegation and

seeing all these athletes now representing their countries. so i'm just so honored and proud to be here. but any soccer tips i would give, it may prevent the three peat. >> well, second gentle man douglas emhoff, we are happy you are there representing the usa. appreciate you coming on gma this morning and sharing your message. >> thank you very much, michael. great to see you. >> great to see you. now to you, ginger. >> thanks, michael. we've had so many big headlines we haven't even got ton the severe storms. look at santa rosa, new mexico. this was over the weekend. hail flowing with the gusty winds. this morning we've already seen severe thunderstorm warnings outside lincoln, nebraska. there's been golf ball size hail reported. you can see some of the areas we will see, rapid city overnight. down in the midsouth nashville. damaging wind is your main threat. let's get a check closer to home. drew: i am abc7news

strawberry powder. we're going to put our mixer on. dark sugar, white sugar beating. we're going to add vanilla extract. you always add the vanilla extract with the fat. it makes it more pronounced. >> i didn't know that. what's next? >> next freeze dried strawberry powder. then here's my secret. >> is this something, are we making the powder? can you buy the powder? >> you can buy the powder. here's my secret. instant pudding mix. this brings flavor but also keeps the cookie soft and tender. we're going to be turning these cookies into ice cream sandwiches so we need that cookie to be soft so when you bite into it the ice cream doesn't squirt out. we beat that together. then add our eggs. you always want your eggs room temperature. beat that nicely so everything is incorporated. >> i love that you use vanilla chunks. >> i love that. adds a nice creamy bite. here's another trick.

i like to put cake flour in my cookies because it makes for a softer cookie. >> we're going to have all of this on the website. >> salt, baking powder and add our freeze dried strawberry. we really want that flavor in there. and white chocolate chips. we're going to stir that together. then we're going to add it to our wet ingredients here. >> let's move on while i do this. >> you want to make sure you don't overmix. you'll get tough cookies. we just want to incorporate. now we'll start scooping our cookies nice scooping 3 ounce scoop on your cookie sheet. pop it in the oven 350 for about nine minutes. you want them nice and soft with brown edges. now ice cream sandwiches. beautifully cooled cookies. here's my trick. take the pint of ice cream, use a knife, slice through the pint and you get perfect rounds of ice cream. >> you have so many perfect tips.

>> i have got lots of tips. >> oh my goodness. >> we just make the ice cream sandwich like that. >> that is awesome. >> now we can even roll the edges in more freeze dried strawberries if you like. >> look how pretty. the other thing you brought the great idea we talked about the different boards. the butter board. we all know about a cheese board. why not do it with an ice cream sundae theme? i think it's a fantastic idea. i know kids of all ages would dive right in. >> exactly. mine is italian theme. i'm italian-american. maybe having a big italian meal with my family. this is condensed milk. we're going to todd to condensed milk chocolate chips a pink of salt and butter. >> is this for the board? >> this is hot fudge. it only takes four minutes. so easy. >> ingredients are condensed milk, chocolate chip. >> salt and butter. then once this comes together we're just going to add the butter at the end. gives it a nice sheen.

>> we will put all of this on the website. these are so easy and smells incredible. the board? >> i'm going italian vibes. i have got lemon and olive oil cake. grilled peaches and pistachios. chocolate hazel nut spread. the key here, you want different textures. you want fresh, little rich. so everything just comes together beautifully on your sundae. that's a lemon cake. >> just grab and go? >> absolutely. it's kind of fun to do with your guests. get the kids involved and build the board. everyone can get their own board to make. >> what a great idea. >> pistachio, i'm going maybe lemon cake, peaches. >> we're going to make our sundaes with our sundae board. scan the qr code on your phone. or go to good morning america.com. good to see you.
