he's not talking. but his lawyers confirmed to nbc news that this is his new web page. with an american flag back drop, zimmerman writes i was involved in a life-altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. as a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, i have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family, and ultimately my entire life. zimmerman posts a link to donate and writes, i'm grateful to my friends that have come to my aid. never questioning my integrity or action. and any funds provided are used only for living expenses and legal defense. >> zimmerman is still walking around. he's free. >> reporter: after an emotional city council meeting monday night, participants had varying opinions of zimmerman's requests for donations. >> everyone is entitled to a defense. >> i knew i was innocent. i wouldn't be soliciting anything. >> reporter: about 50 protesters had a sit-in at the police department on monday and that forced the city to close down the police station. but then a surprise. several were invited inside to take a phone call from the special prosecutor who promised them a thorough and fair investigation. david? >> all right, kerry sanders for us this morning. thanks very much. let's get a check of the rest of the top stories. we have natalie morales at the newsdesk. >> good morning, everyone. nbc news has learned that the rocket launch is issette to which has the u.s. on edge for what it could mean. richard engal remains in north korea and he joins us once again from the capital of pyongyang. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. from a very rainy pyongyang. north korea will not only go ahead with the proposed rocket launch but says it's in the process of building even bigger rockets. this proposed rocket launch is sparking international condenmation. particularly from the united states and south korea, which say it will only further isolate this nation. even china and russia are calling on north korea not to do it, saying it is a violation of u.n. security council resolutions, but today here in pyongyang, a north korean official said this country will not respect any u.n. security council resolution that violates north korea's sovereignty. airlines that operate in this region have said that they will change their flight trajectory during the rocket launch to avoid the rocket. >> all right, richard engel reporting once again, thank you. the virginia beach has released a frantic 911 calls, destroying dozens of units in the complex. >> a plane went down off 24th street. >> we just had a jet explode on birds neck. >> it's not a terrorist thing is it? >> it's an airplane that exploded. >> a regular jet? >> that's all we know right now. >> amazingly no one was killed or seriously injured and the navy is compensating residents whose homes were destroy an helping them find long term housi housing. the two men accused of going on a shooting spree have conf s confessed. england confessed to shooting two, three which died. the suspects are being held on more than $9 million bail each. we have the winners from maryland of the $656 million mega millions jackpot. the lucky ticket holders are two men and a man who work in the public school system, but they wish to remain anonymous. one person who is not one of the winners, wilson, who claimed she had the winning ticket. and a bus driver lost consciousness behind the wheel, then the two boys sprung to action. the 13-year-old grabbed the wheel, steering it to safety and performing chest compressions on the driver. >> grabbed the wheel. i wrestled, i turned it to the right. took the keys out of the ignition. the bus started to slow down. oh, someone call 911. i was thinking i don't want to die. >> and another student helped bring the bus to the stop, and others called 911. no students were hurt. the driver were hospitalized. in case you're wondering how a 13-year-old knows his way around a steering wheel, his little secret is out with mom. apparently she lets him move around the car around the driveway to give it a wash, but shh, don't tell his dad. i think dad will be proud of him, actually. >> now that he told the world. thanks, natalie. let's get a check of the morning's top stories from a real man because only real men wear pink. >> there you go. we have more severe weather to talk about where they saw some yesterday. we're outside of oklahoma city, woodward county seeing severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. >> inbound, hit a farm -- >> let's show you the maps. and see what's going on. our risk area northern texas and parts of louisiana. the main threat's damaging winds but we could see a couple of tornadoes develop again out of this region. look for rain from northern california up into the pacific northwest coast. we have got beautiful weather dropped to the southeast. rain does develop interior sections of new york state on into upstate new york and new well, you want to grab the umbrella as you make your way out the front door. light showers are coming down concentrated over the east bay, but more is on the way. you can see the band of moisture that developed throughout the pacific. as we head throughout the day on-and-off light spotty showers and temperatures only climbing into the 60s. even the warmest cities across the bay. 60 degrees in san jose. 63 in los gatos and about 59 degrees in san francisco. we'll get a little bit of a break from the rain as we head through the second hoalf of wednesday. >> all right, al, thank you. now to politics and the presidential race and ongoing battles in washington. and here to talk about it all is representative paul ryan of wisconsin. he's the chairman of the house budget committee, and a rising star in the republican party. congressman ryan, good morning. >> good morning. >> rising star, perhaps, is an understatement. you've endorsed mitt romney. if asked to be his vp, and pulled -- and told you would be only asked if the thought was you would help the republicans win in november, can you really say no? >> i haven't given enough thought to answer that question. it's never come up. the way i look at this is, it's somebody else's decision. it's months from now. i'm busy trying to do my job in congress. so, hopefully as i cross that bridge i'll make that decision then. but i haven't given it the serious kind of thought with my family that i would need to. >> you say it's never come up. are you saying it's never come up in any conversation whatsoever with mitt romney. >> correct. >> hmm. >> he has to get the nomination, first. >> you think there's some doubt about whether -- >> no, i don't. but i think he has to go through the process of nailing it down. i think he has to deal with that. >> you pent some time with him when he was in wisconsin and a lot of time actually with him. is he a man you could work with? >> absolutely. >> why? >> i've actually really grown to like him quite a bit. i think he reminds me of sort of an enest, upper midwest person. the way i see mitt romney is i believe he has the exact kind of leadership skills we need to get this country out of the mess we're in. out of the debt crisis we're in. i think he has the principles, the courage, the skills, and i think he's going to do what it takes to get this country out of a crisis. >> you're a darling of conservatives. conservatives have clearly shown that they've not been ready to embrace him. what's their problem? you know -- >> i think it's because he was the governor of massachusetts, which is a fairly liberal state. he had a democratic legislature he had to work with so he had to make compromises. but if you actually look at what he says, what he does, who he is, his experience in his life, i think that speaks very well for conservatives. and i think he's going to be a great standard-bearer for us in the fall. >> meantime you say you haven't even thought about being on this ticket. >> i haven't given it serious thought. >> and yet president obama in his discussion seems to be really almost running against you. talking about your budget, being a trojan horse. i mean, how do you explain this? >> you know, we've gotten kind of used to this verbal tantrums from the president. to me it's a little more petulant than presidential. >> why is he targeting you? >> i think it's because we're actually offering solutions to a debt crisis where he isn't. so i think we -- our existence and our solutions point out the fact that he hasn't offered any solutions to these problems. and we want to confront debt crisis before everybody gets hurt. before we have a crisis on our hands. and i think because we've offered these principled solutions and he has not, he's trying to use this kind of rhetoric to distort away from his failed record. >> you talk about solutions. 6 course your budget was passed last week by the house but the senate's not going to pass it. the president's not going to sign it. so what do you want most to come out of this exercise? >> i want to fix the problem. i want to give our kids a better future. i want us to pay off the debt. so what we thought we would do is we would pass our version of what we think the solution is, the law requires the senate pass their budget as well. but they've decided for three years now, over 1,000 days, not to even budget. i -- it boggles my mind that we're not going to be passing budgets when the biggest crisis confronting this generation is a budget driven crisis. >> let me ask you about this because the center of budget and policy priority, you're smieing because you know about this. says 52% of the savings in your budget would come from cutting programs for the poor. that between 8 and 10 million people would be kicked off of food stamps. that you would cut medicare by $200 billion, medicaid and other health programs but something like $770 billion. where is the empathy for this budget? >> not only do i take issue with a lot of their analysis and their numbers, spending in all of these programs still increases under our budget. you have to remember food stamps quadrupled over the last decade. so what we're saying is we have to bring spending to a more sustainable rate of growth. and we can't keep spending at the pace we are on otherwise we will have a debt crisis. >> do you acknowledge that poor people will suffer -- >> no. >> under his budget. >> no. >> that you have shown a lack of empathy to poor people in this budget. >> quite the contrary. our poverty rates are the highest in a generation. one out of six people are in poverty today. the president's policies are not working and we're advancing pro-growth policies to get people off of welfare and onto work. what we want to do is replicate those successful strategies that worked in the late '90s that were not applied to these other welfare programs to get people on to lives of self-sufficiency from welfare to work and we're proposing reforms and transitions that do that. we just don't agree that throwing more money at failed programs works. we want to reform these programs so they actually achieve the result of getting people on the lives to self-sufficiency. >> i could talk to you some more but i'm out of time. congressman paul ryan a pleasure to meet you in person. it is now 7:17. now here's david. >> ann, thank you. a new study out this morning raises questions about the safety of routine dental x-rays. according to a report in the american cancer society's journal "cancer" people who frequently receive them are at an increased risk of developing the most common diagnosed brain rumors. dr. nancy snyderman is nbc's chief medical editor. she's here this morning. >> hey, david. >> so what kind of tumors are we talking about and how worrisome are they? >> they are the most common brain tumors. they are benign, but even if you have a benign tumor in the wrong spot it's bad news. and we know that the most common environmental cause of these is ionizing radiation. that's the kind of radiation you get in x-rays. so this really looked at people who got a lot of dental x-rays, so kind of bite wings where you put the little thing between your teeth and something called a panoramic view, where they do an external x-ray. and they found that people who had those bite wing x-rays were two times more likely to get menagenomas than people who had this kind of x-ray you're seeing now were almost three times more likely. >> and kids often get the bite wings, right, on an annual basis? >> yeah, that's right. you know, used to be that there was more radiation with each of these x-rays. and we've talked about it on this program that more and more kids now have bad teeth and are getting root canals. but dentists are saying, look, is it time to re-evaluate how often kids get these? one to two perhaps a year for little kids and should decrease, and frankly, you only get tooth x-rays if you think you need them. if your child has perfectly healthy teeth and there's no reason to warrant them then don't do it. dentists are really up front on this. >> how do we as consumers and parents, what kind of conversation do we need to have? >> the first thing you should say is look i heard about the report. i know the risk is still low, the radiation is low, but does my child need it? and if so, how can we minimize it over the years? overall you're still going to need them periodically. like everything else in life we want to minimize the amount of radiation just to minimize the problem overall. >> all right. helpful new information. dr. nancy, thank you very much. it is 7:19. once again here's ann. >> all right, david, thank you. it could take months before we know what killed famed artist thomas kinkade. the so-called painter of light who faced a number of legal and financial problems in recent years died unexpectedly at his home on friday at the age of 54. nbc's mike taibbi is in a kinkade gallery in northridge, california, with more on this story. mike, good morning. >> good morning, ann. how are you? you know, one critic snipped that thomas kinkade's genius wasn't as an rtist, but as a marketer. but even with his artwork in millions of american homes the self-styled painter of light had hit dark days recently. battles with booze and bankruptcy and a personal life that was no match for the idealized world he created and that his fans love. >> this is the first picture that we got right here. >> reporter: debbie and russ spend time every day enjoying the 20 kinkade paintings in their california home. >> all we know about tom is that he was a great artist and we really loved him. >> he definitely enriched our lives. it's brought our family a lot closer. >> reporter: it doesn't matter that most art critics scoff at kinkade's dreamy soft edged cottages and street sheeps. like sherbet says new york art critic brienne walsh. >> it does go down easily. it's prettyly colored and a lot of pastels. >> hello, everyone, this is thomas kinkade the painter of light. >> reporter: and whether he was marketing limited edition reproductions of his disney series or norman rockwell inspired freeze frames of americana he stuck to a plan for decades with an audience in mind. >> i have found that certain of the foundational values, faith in god, home, family, these are the things that everyone's hungry for. >> reporter: but in recent years, things turned ugly for one of the richest artists in the world. he pled no contest to a drunk driving arrest. his high school sweetheart wife and the mother of his four children left him. and lawsuits by franchise owners and former employees painted a picture of a flawed hero, drinking more and more, say some who knew him. >> alcohol compounds your problems, and he just was in a downward spiral. >> reporter: and behaving crudely. even, said one of kinkade's former vps in a deposition, urinating on a statue of winnie the pooh. none of that will deter his legions of fans who've embraced him and now mourn him as part of the family. >> we have our way of thinking about him, and he's touched our heart. and that's how we feel about tom. >> reporter: even a critic who wouldn't pay a penny, let align $5,000 to $15,000 to buy a signed kinkade reproduction understands why millions do. >> people want to come home and have an image that makes them feel comfortable. and happy. and thomas kinkade provides that. and he is not at fault for doing that. >> there was a woman named amy pinto who dialed 911 last friday. she told police that she was kinkade's live-in girlfriend and that the painter had died peacefully in his sleep. she also said later that he suffered from a heart condition but that won't be confirmed until the autopsy results are released. by the way at galleries like this northridge gallery, since his death, kinkade works have been going through the roof. orders for them have. ann?

dr. katz says cellulaid is about $2500 and up depending on the area you want treated. ann? >> all right. natalie morales, thank you. well dr. bruce katz, director of the skin and laser senter in new york is joining us along with dr. nancy snyderman. good morning to both of you. so first of all we should say that cellulite is not a disease. it's something that's a common, normal characteristic of between 80% and 90% of women? >> yes. i think when we talk about the word cure, i guess i'm approaching this as a cancer surgeon. i always think it's not cancer. we don't talk about cure, we talk about long-term results to a cosmetic problem. >> that's right. and this treatment, we just got an idea of how it works. can you give us a sense about how long we think it's effective and why we think it might be effective beyond maybe a year or two years? >> well, we've been doing this for about two years now. and we think if the cellulite hasn't come back in two years it's probably going to be pretty much permanent. but we have to wait and see because that's only been our experience so far. >> mm-hmm, this procedure is invasive, it requires anesthesia, local anesthesia. are there side effects, nancy? >> well, it's very safe. there are other techniques that have been fda approved they just haven't worked very well. that means long-term results haven't been so great. but today, i so to say most cosmetic procedures are unbelievably safe. local anesthesia, very minimal risk. infection rate, hardly anything. the biggest risk, frankly, is people may not think that all their cellulite has gone away. >> the worst side effect we've seen is minimal bruising and swelling. >> and that's temporary. >> and nothing else. >> so i'm not worried about the safety thing. i think the big question for women is, is it worth it for me, do i really want to change? and then the cost. because this is not going to be covered by insurance. >> right. not covered by insurance. $2500. i just heard. >> minimal. >> minimal. because that's just for what, doctor? >> that's usually one area. but if you compare it to current treatments where you have to come back, six, eight or ten times, the cost is pretty comparable. >> when you say one area, do you mean the thigh or one point in the thigh. >> the thighs. one area is the abdomen. the bust is another area. >> you could spend $8,000 depending on where you're carrying it and how much you're carrying? >> or upward. i think it's important for women to remember that cellulite really is a part of a woman's anatomy. whether it's heredity, aging, hormones, the skin is connected to the muscle with these little fibrous bands. a little bit like our mattress and one of those buttons, and then fat cells get caught in between. so liquefying the fat, cutting those fibers -- >> that's very important. >> you know, the whole idea is to sort of smooth out the skin. >> because it's not about whether you exercise enough, it's not about your diet. >> skinny women can have cellulite. >> i've had triathletes and marathon runners who have cellulite and we've treated successfully. >> the thing is, is it worth it for you? and if so make sure you're going to someone reputable and you've done your homework. >> dr. bruce katz and dr. nancy snyderman thank you for helping us do our homework. still ahead, a woman whose given birth 15 times but she only has four kids of her own. we're going to explain. but first, these messages. when we got married. i had three kids. and she became the full time mother of three. it was soccer, and ballet, and cheerleading, and baseball. those years were crazy. so, as we go into this next phase, you know, a big part of it for us is that there isn't anything on the schedule.

star, is this a go girl moment? >> it is an actual go girl moment. what i admire more than anything is that she didn't just take on the tabloids. she took on the so-called legitimate media. ashley said just because -- you know, that main stream media as our girl sarah palin would say. just because it's reported by somebody doesn't make it legitimate. and legitimate news sources just glommed on to the, is ashley, you know, the latest victim of surgery gone awry. >> nancy, you look at these celebrities all the time. >> right. >> they do make money off their looks and pick them apart. but she does look different. >> i think she's stunningly beautiful and whether she's onster oids that gave her a little bit of that moon face or whether she had something done, i have to say, i don't even care. i know she's out there. i know she's a public figure. but she didn't ask the world to comment on her face. i say leave her alone. >> personally i think ashley is beautiful. having said that it's the same thing with jessica simpson last week and the pregnancy. when your trade is your public image and your beauty and your public persona you're going to come under scrutiny. it's like a hedge fund billionaire -- >> i get that. >> who trades stocks for a living. he's going to be under more scrutiny when it comes to trades. i've got to stop feeling bad for these celebrities. >> but she wants to be known for her acting, too, not just because her skin is puffy. >> by the way, her appearance has also been what's made her successful. i think she's beautiful -- >> but being unfairly criticized, being called everything but a child of god is another. >> and misogynistic? you think it has nothing to do with gender. >> this say pretty hot topic. obese need not apply. a texas hospital has instituted a hiring policy, if you have a body mass index of less than 35, 250 pounds, if you stand 5'10", the policy goes on to say that you at least have to have that body mass index. if you're above that you can't be hired, and then, fit with a representational image of the job of a health care professional. >> we knew this was coming. >> yes. >> so there are famous places like the cleveland clinic that will not hire cigarette smokers. they'll put you through cigarette cessation programs, if you can't kick the habit. they're not going to hire you. why? because you cost them money in health care costs. obesity was the next hurdle >> but you're also representing the cleveland clinic which is fighting heart disease and fighting -- >> here's the problem. it's against the law to discriminate against fat people because it falls under the americans with disability act. >> not necessarily. because everyone who is considered fat or obese, unless they've been qualified as a quote, disabled person, only michigan is the only state in our country, six cities are allowing you to have protection for simply being obese. unless you've been classified as disabled because you've had heart disease, because your thyroid is acting up, are you not protected. >> donny, what about the representational part? does this make sense? >> it's interesting. to me when people were coming to the agency they were coming for a certain persona. people -- it was important to me that people were stylists, not physical appearance but part of the brand we're selling. when you're selling health, and you have a 5'5", 250 pound person, that's not good for that brand. and on top of that, people are paying more, every person who is obese, i pay more in my health insurance. >> that's right. >> so i'm not trying to discriminate, i'm saying as a business, if i'm coming there and you have an unhealthy person. it's a doctor who smokes, you go, what is that? >> increasingly in hospitals these jobs are physical jobs. you need good news, good backs, you're moving other people. >> let's keep moving the marines facebook fire storm. this is very interesting. you've got a marine facing discharge for posting disparaging comments about president obama on facebook. this is a marine sergeant called the president quote the domestic enemy. said he would not follow some orders he deemed unlawful. he and his lawyer rps saying, look, this is him as a private citizen saying this on facebook. in fact there is no privacy, especially when you're in the service, donny, it's a chain of command. you can't do it? >> you are in the military. there is a chain of command. shame on him. i think that -- to me, it was very sad, it was very tragic. this is not a man i want fighting for our country. >> he definitely has a different view though over whether this should be a privacy -- >> if you're in the military, your ability, your right to say certain things goes away the day you sign those papers. the president is his commander in chief. >> his boss. >> he need not agree with everything. but that's his boss. >> and especially when it comes to following certain orders. that's the one thing that you're not allowed to do. and maybe our technology -- >> but facebook gives him a private corner. >> not at all. every two weeks we do a segment. once and for all, facebook is part of the public domain. you've just got to put that in your head. >> he couldn't write an editorial op-ed in "the new york times" or "wall street journal" and say those things. even though our laws haven't caught up to technology, he can't do it on facebook either. >> very important issue, lastly, which is when should men be allowed to cry? i cry when the dry cleaning comes home. i cry all the time. i'm going to put that out there. >> he cries after every segment. >> but bubba watson, he wins the masters, and -- >> he didn't just cry. >> he didn't just cry. no, no, this was -- >> he was sobbing. >> this was sobbing with his mom. but it was a moment. it was really a moment that he'd won. too much, too much?

>> oh, my gosh, i learned so much, really. a lot of this book is context. i sort of had the overview of why did i actually do the things that i did? and why did i choose the men i chose? and you know, i really kind of go in to that with an overview, as well as writing from inside. >> how well does carole klein found herself talking to record executives when she was just 15 years old? >> i met alan freid. i wanted to meet alan freid, the legendary disk jockey. my father was a new york city firefighter. he had the badge which could get hem anywhere and allen freid gave me the advice to look in the phone book and call record companies and go meet. and i was like, somebody can have success, why not me. which is a motivating thing in my life. it's like somebody can accomplish "x" or "y," why not me? >> why not you? and that allowed you to have a lot of chutzpah that carried through all the days of your life. and you -- you write about not really necessarily though wanting to be the star. you wanted to be the songwriter whose songs were heard. so, what was your reaction when you first heard aretha franklin singing "natural woman"? >> in three words? oh, my god. and that's exactly how i wrote it. it was just an amazing thing. and as a songwriter, that's what gives me the greatest joy is to hear artists take it to the next level, the level i can't. i can't sing like that. i can suggest how to sing like that. which i did in a demo. i made a demo for her with jerry and you can kind of hear the elements in the demo. there's an album coming out in a couple ways, april 24th, called the legendary demos. they did a lot of the demos capturing this time. >> right. which is a good map to how the songs emerged eventually. and you know, over this book, we hear about your loves, your losses, you married twice, you had four kids. >> i actually married four times. >> four times, okay? >> yes. hope springs eternal. >> and you had four kids. i got that right. and it was the relationship you write about that had to be painful to write about you say without warning he struck with his right fist, he hit me hard, as if we were in a boxing ring except he wasn't wearing gloves and he wasn't in a boxing ring. what did you learn in your life about why a woman stays in an abusive relationship? >> well, the writing of this story. i wasn't sure i was going to include it in the book. but i wanted people to understand, people who go through that, mostly women, but some men, that you're not alone. this is a phenomenon that can even happen to somebody like me who was successful, natural independence and what i learned is it's a really bad dynamic and it's very hard to get out. and i put a box in the book that actually says, here's where you can go to get help and it's right there. so that was really the main reason why i included this story. >> hmm, and -- and in trying to help other people, clearly, in doing that, and it seems to evoke what seems to be a theme at least i would guess from this book i mean, when you look at the black and white photographs of you as a young woman, having children at such a young age, making tapestry of your most successful albums even today the word that comes to mind is evolution. what makes you so open, constantly -- >> before i answer that. i just want to clarify because i don't want anybody to think the wrong -- the name of the man that was the abusive husband was rick evers. it was not jerry guff and it was not charlie, and it was not the fourth husband. having said that, i really want to make that clear. >> sure. >> the evolution is just something that happens with age. you know, i've just turned 70. and i really feel the evolution. i finally felt the calmness. because people have said, you should write about your life for a lot of my life, because i have such an interesting life. so it was only until just before i was 60 that i had just said, okay, i'm ready to embrace this stage of my life. and that's my current stage of the evolution. >> you have had more than 400 compositions recorded by more than 1,000 artists, you've had 100 hit singles, many, you've got five grandchildren a life clearly as we see in this book that is as rich as a tapestry. how do you want to be remembered. how do you want people to think of you and what you've done with your life? now that you've looked back on it? >> first i want to say one word to everything you've said. attitude. and it's how i want to be remembered. my goal every day is to try to be a good person. to try to do kind things. to try to make the world a better place in the ways that i can. and if i have influenced one person in a good way, that's good enough. >> and i think that's what we feel when we hear your name. >> oh, thank you. >> and when we read your book and hear you play with james taylor, this is your life. carole king, thank you. >> thank you. >> and the book is called "a natural woman." and of course, her album is coming out. she just mentioned in a few weeks. it's a collection of previously unrecorded songs. meantime coming up next, john grisham on trying something new in his latest novel. we're going to hear all about it. but first this is "today" on it. but first this is "today" on nbc.

>> well, they do get the moment. 30 years later, they finally meet because of the young boy who is now, you know, 41 years old. and he wants his father to face the reality of what he did many years ago. to finally, for once in his life, stand up and say, okay, i did this, i was wrong, and i -- and i want redemption. and that's what drives the whole story. >> the book is "calico joe." it hits bookstores today. john grisham, thanks very much. >> my pleasure. happy to be here. >> up next, mariska hargitay on her devastation from a failed adoption, and her future on "law & order: svu." everyone knows this famous sound. ♪ and mariska hargitay has starred as detective olivia benson for 13 seasons on "law & order: svu" and she's proven time and again that no one is better in the interrogation room. take a look. >> then we tell the d.a. the truth. that you were scared. maybe he threatened your family. >> okay, okay. >> probably the d.a. now. once they get involved it's out of my hands. >> you tell them i'm thinking. >> you don't have time to think. you're at a crossrod es right now. you've got to make a decision. >> okay, okay. >> and if you make the right decision, i will go to bat for you. >> okay. i'm backing away from you right now. i don't even want to be in the same room with you if you're yelling. i get scared myself. and also what's really new this season is your character, olivia benson, gets to have a love interest, named harry connick jr. i mean, there's nothing wrong with that. let me tell you. and does he get to stick around for a bit or do you know?

"the lion king" reigned supreme over the great white way. box office figures released monday revealed that the disney broadway classic has now surpassed "phantom of the opera" as the highest grossing musical of all time, raking in $853.8 million since its 1997 debut. and don't look down. an american leading a group of urban explorers has scaled europe's tallest building, the shard in london. clinging to a crane 1,000 feet in the air, bradley derrick says he and his group have scaled the unfinished building a number of times over the past year. he says they never break in, only sneak in and leave everything just as they found it. garrett says that he does it for the love of the building, apparently a security guard actually helped him get up there. so, five minutes past the hour. let's go now to ann, david and savannah. or al! >> or me. either way. all right. thanks so much, natalie. let's show you what we got as far as your weather is concerned. record breaking temperatures soaring as we continue to move forward. we've got colder than normal temperatures, we've got wind gusts 25 to 30 miles per hour in the area, and so, stretching all the way from the northeast down to the south we have high fire dangers up. we have red flag warnings from greenville all the way to new york city. and out to the west, we're talking about frost and freeze warnings, so we've got literally fire and ice to talk about over the next 24 hours. grab that umbrella before you make your way out the front door. good morning, i'm meteorologist christina loren. the second wave of moisture for the morning is moving on shore. san jose has been relatively dry, now light showers are developing in the city. heading through the day today, temperatures only climb to 50s and 60s, limited sunshine. almost 15 degrees cooler in some cities than where we ended up yesterday. time now for "today's money." financial rules to live by that can help save your marriage or relationship. jean chatzky is the author of the new book "money rules: the simple path to lifelong security." >> nice to see you. >> this is one that, you know, most couples really fight about. you say these are pretty simple rules to go by. and basically you're talking about live below your means. which i think is a great idea. >> that's right. this is money rule number 10, live below your means. it's because we know that couples that can actually accumulate $10,000 in assets are 70% less likely to get divorced than couples that have no assets. so the bottom line is you just have to save money and that means getting yourself with that program. >> and i was going to say, how tough is that, though? >> well, you know, some people tend to be savers. some people tend to be spenders. i think the trick is getting the savings out of the account before you have the opportunity to spend it. so as soon as your paycheck lands you just move some money into a savings account and then you can live on the rest of what's in there for the rest of the month. >> number 35, just because you have a coupon doesn't mean you have to go shopping. >> and it's because we know that in cases where you feel your spouse is a foolish spender, you're 45% more likely to get divorced. >> ooh. >> right. men and women. equally. and so if you are one of those people who is a sucker or a sale, and there are a lot of them out there, you got to know who you are, and you have to understand that a coupon is not a license to spend money. because another one of the money rules, if it's 50% off, it's still 50% on. you're still spending that money. >> exactly. i like number 33, trying to keep up with the joneses, just know the joneses are in debt. >> another thing that's really bad for your marriage is feeling that your spouse is materialistic. and that's essentially what we're doing when we're trying to keep up with the joneses. we want what they have. well, just realize, if they have it, there's a really good chance that they're in debt. 115 million americans carry debt to the tune of more than $10,000. and we're talking about high interest rate credit card debt. so pretty bad thing to do. >> and then that kind of goes into this next one, number 27, about good debt. good debt usually cheaper. >> right. so the difference between good debt and bad debt is that good debt gets you some place. it's the roof over your head. it's the car you drive back and forth to work. it's your college education. you know it because the interest rate tends to be lower. bad debt, high interest rate credit card debt, drives couples, particularly newlywed couples, toward divorce. and toward those fights. so you want to steer clear of that kind of debt. >> number 93, declare some financial independence. >> just because you get married doesn't make you the same person. it doesn't mean that you want all of the same things, and, in fact, your differences probably attracted you in the first place. so i believe, and this is why we put it in money rule 93, is that you need to have a little bit of money so that you can do what you want to do with it. otherwise it starts to feel like you're asking permission. it starts to feel vaguely parental. and that's not at all romantic. >> that's not good. number 89, i think quite frankly should be higher up. don't lend money to friends or relatives. >> right. because if you think about the things that cause fights between you and those friends and relatives, lending money is never a good idea. you go out to dinner with these people and you start watching what are they ordering? are those new shoes? and then you bring it home with you and it causes a fight with your spouse. so you shouldn't lend money to friends and relatives. >> what about the converse about borrowing money? >> it's the easiest way to lose those friends and relatives from your life. i'd steer clear of it altogether. >> sometimes, consider it a gift -- >> if you can afford it that's absolutely the thing to do. if you can afford it, give it away, you forget about it. you say i never want to discuss this again, this is a one-time thing and we're done with it. >> all right jean chatzky. thanks so much. >> sure. >> great rules. >> and still ahead, put your best face forward. bobbi brown has got some tips for finding the perfect foundation. she's got the perfect face. but up next, jill martin here with mr.

>> color. you have to find a color that blends in to the side of your face. not your hand. it doesn't matter how it looks on your hand. it's the side of your face. >> you say you should kind of walk into natural light. >> if possible look at natural light. makes a really big difference. color first then formula. make sure it's the right formula. >> you say search for a yellow-based foundation. but how do we know that? what does that look like? >> yellow foundation basically is what we have in our skin. if you put a foundation on and you ask if you have to put it on your neck, it's pink. so it should totally blend in. so on a weekend just use it on a spot or around your nose. yellow foundation gets rid of redness. >> you also like tinted moisturizer. >> it's great for weekends, and if your skin is good, tinted moisturizer is often. >> spring getting into summer, do you need to change your foundation as the seasons change? >> you do. as your skin changes, drier or oiler, your text our changes. you can also adapt your foundation texture with your moisturizer underneath it. >> let's get to some of our models. we have a couple of examples. our first one is tanzia. >> she's young, she's beautiful. she has amazing skin. >> i don't even think she needs foundation. >> she doesn't really. but for tv we have foundation. on an everyday basis, look at how beautiful her skin looks. she has no foundation on her neck, it's the same color, and you put foundation on first and then you take a touchup stick and you go wherever there's a little bit of a spot and you just go right on top of it, let it sit and then you use a powder on top of it to lock it in place. >> okay. >> that is really simple. her skin is great. she could use the stick. she also could use a powder foundation. it's a mineral powder foundation. but important thing, it's the color of her skin. >> right. >> it's not pink. >> if you have dry skin should you avoid a powder foundation. >> you could use a mineral powder foundation with the right moisturizer. >> a little bit of concealer and then the foundation? >> yes, well concealer is under the eyes. on your skin the little brown spots is a touchup stick. >> not a concealer. >> concealer is lighter than your skin. okay. but it's got to be the same color of your skin to touch up whatever is bothering you on the face. >> you're even more gorgeous than before. thank you so much for being our model. our next model was concerned about redness. let's look at the before picture here. this is margita. >> she's like so many women, beautiful, has great skin but there's a lot of redness in the skin. so the trick is, again, a yellow toned foundation. she has drier skin so she used a moisturizing foundation. again she has no foundation on her neck or anywhere else and it's the same color, we know it's good. >> so show us some of the products you used. >> what we did first was just, you know, a foundation that actually was the color of her skin. we applied it all over. you could apply it with your finalers, a brush, or a sponge. and it goes all over. >> is there anything better if you have a choice? fingers, brush, sponge? >> i really like my fingers. >> me, too. >> but a brush will give you more coverage. so that's great. so we did that first. then we put a powder all over her face. and we used a yellow powder, not a translucent powder. because translucent powder would make her ashy. and again skin tone correct is the most important thing. >> how do you get that dewey look when you're using powder? >> well the right moisturizer underneath. we started with a moisturizer. we used a pot rouge on her cheek, so a cream blush. and another thing for women that have red in their skin, and women that have high color, a bronzing powder. >> oh. >> when looking for a bronzing powder you want to apply it with a big brush. you go all over the apples, forehead, nose, chin, underneath a little bit on the neck. foundation never goes on the neck but if you have a different color neck you could use a little bit of the bronzer. this is amazing. because if you have any redness, it's just even out your skin and gives you a really nice glow. >> we have two gorgeous models. thank you so much, ladies. bobbi, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> up next, what is on your man's mind. dr. ian smith reveals the truth about men coming up.

"new york times" best-selling author dr. ian smith is here with his latest book "the truth about men: the secret side of the opposite sex." >> great to see you. >> you've written so many best-sellers for diets. why now tackle relationships? >> when i was working with a lot of women to help them lose weight i found myself becoming an ad hoc relationship expert because part of their emotional issues were part of their eating issues. why is he doing this? i don't understand why he's saying this? and one woman said dr. ian just put this all in a book and give it to people and people really love the information because it's really helping women understand what your man wants you to know but simply is not telling you. >> why aren't they telling us? it just would make life easier. >> guys are afraid of rejection. they don't want to be embarrassed. >> we don't want any of that either. >> exactly. listen i believe openness is great. but this book is going to help guys because it will say the things that they want their spouses or their dating companion to know but they don't tell them. >> let's talk about marriage. the book says you take a look at a couple of studies and surveys and an interesting survey, i guess, a great male survey, but most men do apparently want to settle down. when asked how they view the ultimate male status symbol 36% list they wanted to have a family. as you see there. the high profile career and everything else. the wife and the girlfriend. 21%. so, if that's the case, then, why is do men say the truth when it comes down to marriage, you use the word early in a relationship it sets up a red flag. >> guys are taught to cherish their autonomy. guys are raised that being young and single is a great way to live. it's against the societal indoctrination of men not to be married. also, men want to move into marriage at their own speed. and you know, i was the same way. you know, i didn't want to be dragged into it. i want to do it my own way, which is great for me. men will say it's not that i don't want to get married. i want to get married on my terms. but how do you talk to a man about marriage? don't talk to him about you getting married. ask him about how his parents' relationship is, what he feels about children. and that will tease out ideas about marriage rather than confronting him. >> no ultimate ups then? >> not at all. >> another thing you say that men want you to know but they don't often tell you is apparently they like a natural body with flaws, they say it's better than a plastic body. >> well, this is a truth. and i don't believe this. here's the deal. guys are very visual. yes we like to look at a woman who is very nicely enhanced. but when you talk about living with someone and falling in love with someone, guys want au naturel. all guys will say, i love the beauty of my woman as she ages. i'm aging also, that is fine. unfortunately, society makes us believe that the woman who has all these great surgical enhancements is the ideal and for most men that is not the case. >> really? society makes you believe that? >> magazines and those type of things. >> okay. you also say that men apparently want you -- they want you more when others want you. is that true? >> 100%. now this is part of the male ego. men like the idea that someone else covets who your companion is. >> kind of like jealous? >> it can get jealous. the idea is when you look great and another guy respects and admires you, it makes your man feel good. i say all the time, always present yourself your best in to your man because deep down he's proud you look so good. >> it's fine for you to set down parameters in the beginning of a relationship but don't send mixed signals. >> mixed signals are, we agree that we're going to have the relationship proceed at a certain pace. you know, we're going to wait to a certain time before we become intimate. and the idea is you should behave that way. both the guy and the woman. don't then dress in a way -- >> provocative. >> provocative way that's going to make a guy want to go beyond the limits that you've set. if you're on the same page in the beginning then it works out for both of you. >> be honest in the relationship. >> always. >> dr. ian smith, really cool stuff. thank you so much. coming up next a classic dish from the famous palm restaurant. the recipe for shrimp bruno. first, this is "today" on nbc. this morning in "today's kitchen," what's on the menu? the perfect spring shrimp dinner. since 1926 the palm restaurant has been serving up legendary food to its customers. bruce is the fourth generation of the palm family. bruce, good to see you. >> good to see you, too. >> just ate at the restaurant in washington on sunday night. >> you did? thank you very much. >> this is one of the signature dishes. always like such an oxymoron. jumbo shrimp. >> jumbo shrimp bruno. so basically you want to start with a jumbo shrimp and really have your fishmonger devein it and cut it. because that can get kind of messy. and then you're basically going to put it in flour, put it in the egg wash. >> right. >> and then we're going to put it in our -- >> and i notice you've got a little garlic there going. >> we have some garlic, just golden brown. we're going to put our shrimp in, and cook them until they're just a pale golden brown, too. >> they cook pretty quickly? >> they took pretty quickly. this dish was originated in 1978 in los angeles. so it's a great dish. >> so once you're done? >> once that's done you're going to kind of drain the pan of the oil and then you're going to put the white wine in the pan and that's deglazing the pan. that's going to get all the flavor of the shrimp and the garlic back in to the pan. you're going to put the dijon mustard in. >> okay. >> all right. there you go. >> spatula. >> kind of twirl that around. yeah, really get it in. and then depending on the thickness, you'll put a little chicken stock here. >> okay. >> salt is one of those key ingredients you just want to use sparingly because you can always put it in but you can't take it out. and there's the golden shrimp so that's done. once this is all sort of complete you have this beautiful bruno sauce. >> thickened sauce. >> we're going to put a little butter in there. >> of course. just a little. >> one of our key ingredients at the palm. thank you, sir. and we're going to serve this on top of quinoa which is a great grain. got the essential amino acids, a lot of iron. and then if you could just gently pour the sauce from the front to the back. right. great. that's great. beautiful. >> thank you. >> now, one of your classic side dishes. >> yeah. >> creamed spinach. >> over here i'm following you. >> we're just going to keep walking around. >> i go wherever you go. so we have creamed spinach. we already have our heavy whipping cream, our butter, our salt and pepper. >> come over this way. >> we're going to do a little nutmeg. we're going to do the flavor, which is -- >> reggiano parmesan cheese. >> very nice. >> and we're going to do a slurry. a slurry is you want to whisk that a little. >> what goes into this? >> cold water and cornstarch. it will really thicken this up. and that step you really do 25 minutes into the cooking process. >> okay. just spirit in? >> pour it in. you have beautiful palm creamed spinach. which of course, we have a couple -- >> oh. >> now when it comes to this -- >> we nice aside. you believe in go big or go home. >> go big or go home. we have our new wedge salad which is vina great, bleu cheese, waken. this is a sirloin. >> wow. more importantly look at this. >> that's not one serving. >> that is a slice of the tom. >> that is -- >> -- at the table. >> my gosh. >> get it for the table. you just hollow that out and people can live in there. >> hoda and kathie lee have been known to drown in this cake. >> this is a bourbon cake. >> there might be some in there. >> all right. thank you so much. all the great recipes are on our website today.com. >> and coming up, kathie lee and hoda will be in the judge's seat. >> as the competition begins to find today's voice the kid's edition. never in my lifetime did i think i could walk 60 miles in 3 days. if my mom can fight and beat breast cancer, i can walk 60 miles.

let's check in with meteorologist christina loren. >> we have rain out there. not a lot of people enjoying a walk on golden gate bridge. throughout the afternoon, we get a break. between noon and 4:00 p.m., more moisture moves through. temperatures only into the 50s and 60s today. back to you, laura. >> thank you very much. for the latest traffic and news updates, check out nbc bay area on facebook. we have another update in a half hour. enjoy your tuesday morning. with all your car does for you, he really wants to hear those three little words: chevron with techron. care for your car. captions paid for byn. nbc-universal television hello, everybody! it is booze day tuesday. april 10th. hope you're having a great day. hoda and i are having a better day so far than we did yesterday. >> we are. we're going to talk about our yesterday. but there's such a big headline out there -- >> she wanted to do this first because she has none of it. you know what i mean. >> if you have cellulite, you can't get rid of it. you diet, exercise, what is going on -- it is still there! okay. there's something called cellulase. >> look how excited she is and she doesn't even have it. >> what happens is they take your thigh -- >> take my thigh, please. >> they give it local aen these anesthesia. those layers are what puckers the skin. that yellow stuff is fat. you take the laser and you cut through the fiber puckery things -- >> and it melts the fat. >> your skin expands back so it is nice and smooth on the top. now nancy snyder man says very few side effects, if any, because it is local anesthesiaa. >> by the way, the trouble with thi thighs, you have at least five grand. >> do we have a before and after of the thighs? look at the difference! >> the skin tone's also a very different color. doesn't look like the same person's leg. >> but it doesn't reduce -- doesn't make your legs thinner -- although in this picture it does. >> it certainly does. >> they say that it just unpuckers it. >> what i don't understand -- remember when dr. wexler did my stomach -- melted -- it was so hot, she didn't use anesthesia, you feel like your skin is on fire. it actually isn't but you tell your brain that. the great advantage of this is that it is not going to hurt you. a little bruising and stuff afterwards. i say we call up dr. wexler and let's give it a try. you want us to do it? for you. for america. we'll do it. >> that means we got to show our you-no-whats? >> if the sun don't shine, who cares. a lot of people went to see "american reunion," you knew that was going to be a hit. didn't you? >> i never saw the first one. it is not up there with "enter yentl," if you know what i mean. >> we had a little shout out in this movie and we had to edit around because there was so much profanity and weird stuff. >> it is a very, very naughty little movie. >> but we cleaned it up for you. take a look. >> is it just me or do girls seem a bit -- slutty? >> definitely. teen sex, rainbow parties, sexting nude photos, saw it all on kathie lee and hoda. >> well, we are here to inform the public. though some of the things they mentioned had to be looked up by some of our staff to find out what it meant. you be the judge. >> you be looking up yourself. >> thank you for that. of all of the things they could say, there's nothing bad about that. breathe a sigh of relief. now yesterday -- >> houston, we had a problem. we were getting ready to start the show. it was a couple minutes before the show. and then -- boom, some red wine fell -- and that happens. >> we don't want to blame anybody, but it was bob. >> definitely bob. >> then bob ran away. we're not even showing that. bob was gone. so when that happened -- all right. so when that happened, what do you do when you spill an entire -- we have a before picture of the dress. when you spill a whole bunch of red wine on a white dress or tan dress that one was, you want to just kind of toss it. >> you all were very sweet to give us some suggestions. >> let's try some of these. >> because you don't have donna at your house. >> these were your suggestions. first you said -- >> it was red. >> you said use white wine to take out red wine. >> white wine. we're wasting white wine on red wine. >> this one is -- let it settle. >> that's club soda. >> which is going over to the wine. >> and this is hydrogen peroxide. >> which sounds like because it's scientific sounding that that might work. now we'll blot. >> dab. >> look at the difference. look at the difference. that is the personality difference right there between hoda and myself. all right. you just smashed the heck out of it, hoda. go ahead. all right, let's see. the first one was the white wine. not much. >> why don't we just show this. nothing worked really at all. okay? i don't -- maybe you have to soak it all day. >> though it did go in down to the other one. >> okay. so that did work. i would have thrown the dress away but not donna. >> everybody needs donna in their life. donna, come on over here. >> this is donna. first of all, you guys remember -- this thing was covered in red wine stain. donna used -- >> thank you, bob. >> donna -- poor bob. donna used some magic potion. what did you do? >> i just soaked it in this cold water solution which is perk. it's cold water, color safe. >> how long did you soak it? >> overnight. >> then boost, which is granular. then you put it -- >> what is the boost? >> it just boosts the color and getting the stain out. those things could have possibly worked if you -- >> i just thought it was a goner. >> but look at this, it is absolutely perfect. >> that is shocking! >> so as soon as you changed in the commercial, i just submerged it. >> this stuff we looked it up, perk, it is actually used to clean plastic dolls, like antique gorgeous -- >> yeah. my friends makes dolls from adam alexander and he's the one who introduced it to me. >> donna? love you. >> it's still wet. but thank you for cleaning it. you're the best. we also did an experiment yesterday, the case of the sinking coke can. we saw that the coke -- it went right down to the bottom. >> the coke sank and the diet coke floated. >> so we thought we were so genius and einsteinish over here figuring this out. but apparently everybody and their brother already knew about this especially the third graders an the science teachers. here's the -- look at this kid. zachary. he actually has a -- >> it was one of his scientific projects. yeah. >> let's go back to see what hillary said. this is what one of the science teachers says the deal is. regular coke contains sugar and diet coke contains aspertane. the density of water is one gram per milliliter. >> yeah? anyway, we want to show you how much sugar is in ten packets. >> ten packets of sugar in one diet coke. i guess they're claiming that the weight -- >> of the sugar. >> which can't be that heavy. >> the aspertane to sugar -- excuse me, sara, what? >> it is a fructose syrup. that's not how it is in the coke. >> then what are we having the expeechriment for? >> let's see if it works for diet pepsi. >> just stick it in there, hoda woman. let's see. >> what did that show? >> where else can you see this stuff? >> this is the best show -- ever! here's one of the greatest things about "today." you probably didn't know it but the people at beneful tell us that today is hug your dog day. remember we had the littleby onyea say? the minute i got home yesterday i was told i had to take a picture with our doggies. there's all three of them. yeah. lola and bambino and louis. >> they always say -- if you want to know who loves you more, your wife, or your dog, lock them both in your trunk and about four hours later open the trunk an see which one's happy to see you. it's your dog. always! no matter what. you can leave it for ten hours. they shake their tail -- they're so happy to see you. >> why wasn't that the friday funny. that is genius, genius, genius. we have a couple of friends from facebook who also sent us pictures of their dogs. this is rose and cooper. then we have sherry with snoop. then we are heather and pickles. >> i'm sorry, but there is something about -- i was getting my manicure yesterday. jackie, my manicurist since cody was born says -- all right. i will take the dog. i will take -- >> i said get in line. beyonce, 500 people want to adopt that little dog. >> yes. all right, you guys, last night was "the voice." we'll talk about it tomorrow because the elimination is actually tomorrow. but it is a great show. can i just say one thing about bianca and lish? i went to do zoom ba with them last night. these girls can shake it! no, wait. bianca and lish can dance their you-know-whats off. >> they work in our food kitchen all day long. like for hours. >> i didn't know they were such great dancers. a big thank you hadden to you zumba class. we have some kids who have come in. we have our own big grown-up "voice" chairs an we're going to select our team today. or some members of our team today. >> okay. we don't have to do "the voice" from last night -- >> no. because we want to save time for these kids. they've come a long, long way. >> we have a lot coming up. >> we're going to head to the judges' chairs right away for the much-anticipated premier of the "today's kids voice" competition.

[ male announcer ] maxwell house french roast. always good to the last drop. how often does this happen in you meet mr. right who would be mr. perfect if only he would change. >> or perhaps you married the perfect partner except there's just one or two little things that irritate you -- like how he dresses or the way he chooses food or how he smells. i added that. >> there are some things you can change and others you may be better off just learning to live with. >> here to help with that our leslie jane seymour, editor in chief of "more" magazine -- he says so. he looks too young to me -- dr. ish major. it is hard to know the difference. there was that off-broadway show that said, i love you, you're perfect -- now change. >> exactly. big mistake, don't even go there. >> right. >> but do you hear the usual thing is that people do not change, people tell you who they are -- >> and that the older they get the more impossible it is. >> but i think you can change. i really believe if you fundamentally like the person, you like their values, you like how they spend money, you like their sense of humor, those kinds of things -- that's how you connect. the outside stuff, i have single friends all time who are saying to me, he's a little heavy, i don't like the way he dresses -- unlike this guy -- those things can be changed. we can work on those. >> is it nature though or nurture here? from it is a little bit half and half. there is a big genetic component to behavior but the bigger parts is the habits, those tendencies. those are the things we learn. right? we learn how to cope in different situations over time. those little tendencies we use. those are the things that can prus trait folks if you don't know -- >> first of all, you have to let them know. that's the hard part. when frank and i first started dating, he was so jealous. if i just said hello to somebody. that has not changed. it is ridiculous. >> but if you bring these things out -- a lot of people when they get into relationships over time they don't ask for what they want, they don't say i need to change. i need you to behave in a different way. >> i said that, it didn't work. you don't know frank! >> i think most men though -- i guess women, too -- will listen and will actually accommodate their partner because they want the relationship to continue. >> should you just change the way you're seeing it, look, he's going to be this way, the only thing you can change is how you react to it. he's going to be jealous, you have to be tolerant. >> i'll give you an example. my husband is chronically late. my kids an i have a little routine now. when he picks me up at the train station i tell him it is five minutes earlier than it normally is because we all know he's going to be five minutes later. even though every clock in the house is set five minutes ahead, he's still late. >> can you change those things? >> you can. >> work around it. >> like you said, it is about how you work around it. there is a way to ask for the change. let's say the cap's off the toothpaste, make him a part of the team. relationships are a team sport so you wants to be on your side. don't say you leave the cap off all the time. say that cap on toothpaste, it keeps getting left off. >> miraculously just is off. >> buy a new kind of toothpaste. as women we control the purchasing. so there's no discussion of stuff like that. you can undercut it by what you do. >> we don't mean to be male bashing here but once in a while a woman has a really bad habit, too. >> but the nagging doesn't work. for anybody. tell us why it is. >> the nagging is words. guys we don't respond to words, we respond to action. >> they do not respond to words, do they? at all! >> as you want the change, don't tell them what they shall do. you show them what you are doing. >> you want the garbage taken out and he always forgets. >> so you let him see you struggling taking that garbage out. >> but it's a little bag. >> just let him see you do. in a guy's mind -- >> run past his naked with the only thing but the garbage. >> for instance, things like i have friends who are having issues in their relationships, their marriages, they're saying she's like this, she's like this, she won't change. i have said if you go into therapy, that will change the part that you play and it will change the dynamic. >> thanks, guys. >> we could have spoken about this all day but we have a big competition coming up. the chairs are ready and waiting for "today's voice the kids edition." our first week's contestants are getngir thedy ting their hearts out. but will any of them make the cut? we'll find out after these messages. i'm done. i'm gonna...use these. ♪ give me just a little more time ♪ [ female announcer ] unlike mops, swiffer can maneuver into tight spaces without the hassle and its wet mopping cloths can clean better in half the time, so you don't miss a thing. mom? ahhhh! ahhhh! no it's mommy!
