2013. from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning. welcome to "today." it is 7 a.m. on the west coast on a monday. i'm savannah guthrie alongsi -- the power house fire exploded north of los angeles. nearly tripled in size threatening close to 1,000 homes. overnight firefighters managed to gain ground on the flames. >> officials are warning they may need to issue a new round of evacuations. >> we want to get to diana in lake hughes, california one of the communities threatened this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. i'm standing in front of what used to be somebody's home. this is what they have been trying to prevent doing air drops, trying to subdue this fast-moving fire but the winds are working against them. flames light the night sky consuming everything in their path. all part of the massive powerhouse fire hepd along with by erratic winds, extreme heat and plenty of fuel. >> when it is coupled with this wind that we're experiencing right now, we get rapid rates of spread and resistance to control. >> reporter: the fire sparked on thursday and quickly spread, jumping the california ak you duct in two places. the fire is 20% contained the result of grueling efforts by more than 1,000 firefighters cutting fire breaks in to the ground and targeting hot spots from the air. >> the winds were very swirling and predictable, several different directions, changing frequently. >> reporter: more than 2,000 people have been forced from their homes, some seeking shelter at this red cross center. >> we had to leave. we saw the flames coming. we just got our dogs and were like we have to get out of here. >> i would estimate that the flames were twice as tall as the trees. >> reporter: others such as dennis decided to stay and fight armed with two hoses and his own fire gear he's collected over the years. >> it was just a ball of fire and my lungs were on fire and like i said there were ten minutes where i got nervous. >> reporter: when the smoke cleared his home was still standing, one of the few in the neighborhood. the fire on the move, still out of control. officials tell us this area in particular is rich in dry shap rel that has not burned since 1929. as far as when they believe they will fully contain the blaze they say they will battle it at least another week. >> diana, thank you. al is monitoring the situation in california from the weather channel's headquarters in atlanta. al, good morning. >> reporter: thank you so much. it's not a lot of good news. take a look at the wind flow over the next 24 hours. these are strong winds coming out of the southwest, 10 to 15 miles an hour this morning. they increase later this afternoon. as you get over the mountains they start to disperse. there are more problems there. possible gusts up to 40 miles an hour. and this is -- this pattern will stick for at least the next 24 to 48 hours. that's not the only weather story we're following. we're also looking at that deadly weather that happened over the weekend throughout oklahoma and alaska. a slow-moving system that made its way to the east coast and yet we're not even close to being finished. a lightning strike blew the bark off of this tree and sent it crashing in to a new jersey home. >> like a car exploded and then heard it again and my husband started screaming to get out of the house. >> reporter: in new york, the yankees and red sox reacting to the thunder and lightning from their dugout. >> that's bret garner and company getting shocked just as we did in the booth and as the red sox did on their side of the field. >> reporter: it is part of the same system that caused dplooshing in arkansas and kentucky and spawned tornados with winds of 150 miles an hour. as seen here, knocking over a big rig. residents in the oklahoma suburb of el reno are still cleaning up after a storm killed three veteran storm chasers. tim samaras, 55 founder of the tornado research company twistex was killed along with his 24-year-old son paul and meteorologist carl young. tornados swept in to neighboring missouri. authorities confirming three other deaths in flooding triggered by the violent storms. >> got a little shelf under the steps. under the front door. by the time i got there and started to pull the door, boom. no freight train. just boom. >> coming up in the next half hour, we will talk to mike bettes who's crew was caught up in the ef-3 twister that killed those three storm chasers. >> thank you, al. we will get the forecast of the forecast in just a moment. another major story breaking right now. we just learned of the death of frank lautenberg. >> breaking news to report. new jersey senator frank lautenberg has died at the age of 89. chuck todd has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. he's been battling pneumonia for a while over this last six months he had been in and out of the hospital, not being able to cast a lot of votes. his legacy, for one thing, this was the last member of the world war ii generation to be serving in the u.s. senate. his death means there are no more u.s. senators remaining who served in world war ii. he had two careers, business career, paycheck firm, adp, a lot of people get their paychecks from that company. frank lautenberg essentially grew that in to a national corporation and made millions out of that. he entered the senate in '82. his earliest piece of legislation was the smoking ban on airplanes back in the '80s and from there he pursued an activist government. he retired once in 2000 and then had to rescue the democratic party back in 2002 after they had a scandal plagued u.s. senator. the unique career he had, he served in both of the states u.s. senate seats. >> chuck todd in washington. thank you so much. in other news, northeastern china where a destructive fire there tore through a poultry plant killing more than 100 people this morning. ian williams has the latest from beijing. good morning. >> reporter: natalie, good morning to you. the latest we're hearing from the local authorities is they have the blaze under control now. but at least 119 people are now confirmed dead and many others are feared trapped inside the remains of what was a sprawling 17-acre chicken processing plant. we're trying to piece together what caused the fire. workers talk of a series of explosions around 6:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. this morning. possibly the result of an electrical problem. there's also talk of ammonia having been released, ul though that is yet to be confirmed. 500 firefighters were called to the scene as that factory went up in a ball of flames. now, survivors talk of a complicated interior, complicated exit and possibly locked doors which trapped people inside of that factory, natalie. >> ian williams in beijing with that report. new evidence this morning to support the theory that shifting dare g cargo may have caused a plane crash in april. transportation officials said the last word the pilot said on the black box recording is wait. we are trying to determine if he meant wait as a delay or wait in the mass of the cargo. accused mob boss bull jer is about to face a jury after 16 years on the lam. he received a tip he was going to be indict and went on the run. he was captured in california in june of 2011. jury selection begins tomorrow as he faces charges he was involved in 19 murders. a video of a ship christening and launch that took place last spring in wisconsin is surging on-line overnight. in images taken from the front of the boat, they slide in to the water with an exciting but otherwise what appears to be uneventful splash. as you see the video taken from the back, the wooden planks launching the mechanism broke on contact the cameraman fortunately survived with bumps and bruises. another nearby spectator had a broken leg. that boat doesn't look like it either. >> the champagne bottle did not survive. >> the woman did not know her own strength. >> got an arm on her. >> put her in the big leagues. >> head back to atlanta. al is down there with the weather. good morning again. >> good morning, guys. again, as we shift out west for our friends there we are looking at some toasty weather in the inland sections. phoenix 105. las vegas sunny and 102. denver almost 90 degrees for a high. up in seattle a picture perfect day sunshine and 53. 63 san francisco. chilly los angeles 69. inland they are looking at much warmer weather. we have got rain in the plains. a risk of strong storms northern texas in to nebraska toechld isolated tornados are possible. more likely damaging winds and hail. mid section of the country going to be spectacular. beautiful day in st. louis. 80 degrees. little rock, arkansas seeing a high of 80. 68 indianapolis. in the east coast it will be a mess. that's where the biggest problems thereby in the morning and early afternoon as the front drapes down across bringing rain with it and probably airport delays. 75 new york city. 83 as you get in to charleston, 87 in tampa. that's your latest weather. we will have the local forecast in 30 seconds right after this. he's just super, because he's my dad here's to the original superman, from sears and shop your way. good morning. it's 7:11. i'm meteorologist, christina loren. mostlq&jy cloudy over san francisco. the natural coolant is turned back on. we are done for+ the 90s at let for today. 84 on the way to livermore. 80, san josñ will 0 show the irs spent roughly $49 million on 220 employee conferences over a three-year period that began in 2010. >> to the left. >> reporter: the latest misstep for the irs this embarrassing video showing agency employees line dancing prepared for a 2010 conference. >> hey, this isn't so bad. >> reporter: the videos release comes ahead of a treasury department inspector general report due out tomorrow exposing excessive spending along with a star trek parody from the same conference and gilligan's island spoof. the cost 60,000 taxpayer dollars. the house oversight committee shows the ig's report attendees received baseball tickets and stays in presidential suites. one called it an unfortunate vestige from a prior era insisting travel and training expenses have dropped 80% since 2010. it is another controversy adding pressure to the obama administration. already under fire for the irs' targeting of conservative groups. darryl darrell issa says it is tied to washington including this exchange. did your supervisor give you any information on the need for the search more context. rely, he told me that washington, d.c. wanted some cases. >> this is right out of washington headquarters and we are getting to proving it. >> reporter: a leading house democrat blasted those claims as reckless and unsub stanuated and inconsistent with the findings of the inspector general. eric holder is facing new scrutiny over tactics his department took in leak investigation. within the west wind some associates have -- some west wing members have said they wish holder would step down but the president only recently expressed his complete confidence in his attorney general. >> thank you. john mccain joined us in the studio earlier in the morning and i asked him about the irs investigation and whether he believes the conduct was confined to cincinnati or may lead to washington. >> i think that that's the reason why we ought to have hearings. in fact, maybe even a select committee maybe called for with given the question surrounding this investigation. so i think we ought to wait and see how events unfold. certainly, when you look at the people that were targeted, it might have been something different than accidental, but i think we ought to have hearings and i think there may be an argument for a special counsel here. i think let's wait and see. >> i have to ask you about the latest video that's come out of irs employees at an employee event learning to line dance at taxpayers' expense your reaction to seeing that. >> i wonder why do they keep doing this stuff? it is just -- it hurts their credibility enormously. suspicions confirmed about what federal employees do and we know there are many hundreds of thousands of dedicated federal employees who work hard every day for us. >> let's talk about syria. you recently returned from a trip there and you said yesterday that you believe bashar al-assad has the upper hand in this conflict. you long advocated for a no-fly zone, for arming elements of the opposition. at this point, would that even be enough, if the u.s. went in, are you sure it wouldn't be the first step in an ever-deepening involvement by the u.s. >> i believe there are no good options and every day it gets worse. more jihadists fall in. we see by this morning's news that the fighting spilled in to lebanon as this unnatural consequence of this continued fighting. air power is decisive in this kind of training and climate. for example, in kusar right now, bashar's forces are surrounding the town of 50,000 people. hundreds are wounded and they are pounding it from the air. they need heavy weapons against tanks and they need the kind of anti-aircraft missiles we need to supply them. but we have to have, in my view, the no-fly zone, as well. >> you know the reluctance on the part of the administration is that you arm the rebels and you may unwittingly arm jihadist elements. you yourself said jihadists are pouring in to this country every day. even if you can get the weapons to the right people, as you say we can, how do you make sure they don't fall in to the wrong hands? >> if we make them strong and give them the strength they need to prevail others will gather around them and support them. look, is the status quo which is clearly situation where it is turning in to a regional conflict, where thousands and thousands are being massacred as we speak, thanks to bashar, hezbollah, iranians, jihadists pouring in, is that a satisfactory situation? it is not. and we have to change the equation on the ground. this scenario in the middle east could erupt in to a conflict of enormous proportion and we can't sit by and watch it happen. >> before i let you go, quickly domestic politics. do you still have faith in attorney general eric holder? >> i think eric holder has some questions to answer. i think eric holder has damaged his credibility. and i think he should ask himself whether he is effectively serving the president of the united states. clearly there have been some contradictory statements and the press understandably should be concerned about what we have found about their tactics. >> our interview earlier this morning with senator john mccain. coming up, they lost their lives doing what they loved. the brother of one of the storm chasers killed by the tornado speaks out. and angelina jolie makes her first public appearance since her double mastectomy. what she thood say about her the mystery surrounding the 90 million dlds jackpot winner. we still don't know the winner. why haven't they come forward? and what i did over the weekend. beyonce tells us about a women's concert for change and yes, i asked her about those pregnancy rumors. everyone wants to know where did she put the baby. >> would you wear a leather body suit if you were pregnant? i don't know. >> we will get in to that but first a check on the local

>> mark, you raise a good point. thank you very much. well the spotter community has a tribute on their website. they all have gps tracking devices so you can see where they are. if you look at the graphic they spelled out tim samaras, paul samaras and carl young's initials as a tribute to their friends and colleague who were killed in this tornado. joining me mike bettes from the weather channel. as people have heard, mike and his crew of two others were caught up in that same storm and you guys were able to survive, you with a damaged hand, some scratches for your other folks, but some broken bones for your driver. so mike, you get caught up in this thing. what's going through your mind as this is happening? >> you know, it's hard to say. i was aware the whole time. we were just tumbling. initially i just couldn't believe it was happening and then it was kind of survival mode after that. it was what do we have to do inside this vehicle to make sure we're going to be okay. we ducked down, seatbelts on, i remember my head hitting the air bag and we were just holding on and everything happened so fast. we were just holding on, trying to get past the tornado, trying to get out of the path of it and got caught on the front end of it. >> it wasn't until yesterday you heard about paul samaras, his son and carl young as well dying. what was your reaction when you first heard that? >> shock. shock. i knew tim pretty well and he has a very good reputation of being a great scientist and being a very, very careful driver, a very careful navigator so it's very surprising to me that this happened. we don't know the circumstances but it's shocking to me. >> you've survived this. are you going to go back out there on the chase? >> i don't know. you know, it's given me perspective, what's important in my life. it may not be up to me, al. i'll talk to my family about it. if they don't want me to go i won't go, simple as that. i have to keep them in mind. it was an eye opener, truly it was. >> we're glad you're safe and the debate about storm chasing and these thrill seekers are going to -- because you guys are scientists, a lot these folks aren't. mike bettes from the weather channel thank you. >> from all of us in new york good to see mike bettes and the weather channel team safely back home. coming up the new cheerios ad with an interracial family that is sparking hate mail online. and why hasn't anyone claimed that $590 million jackpot?

if we look at the comment section you find ugliness and hatred, some of the darkest places online. are you surprised by the reaction of this ad? >> i'm not surprised at the reaction because social media is the new kind of ku klux klan white hood, allows you to be anonymous and say the things you would never say to a person to their face but a lot of this is generational also. people in my generation are still stuck in giving the side eye to an interracial couple. i think younger people have gotten used to seeing black and white and latin and black and latin and white. that's not going to be an issue in years to come. >> donny your company did an interracial couple in an ad 20 years ago. >> 20 years ago. >> but you still think this is somewhat unusual for madison avenue, why? >> what's unfortunate is i still think 97% of companies would stay away from this. they'd say i don't need the letters which is a shame. in real i when do you an ad like this, yes there will be some fringe crazy people that go oh! and they go crazy about everything but in reality you're making a statement about your company, we're progressive, we're inclusive. we are about today and great advertising holds up a mirror to who we are and where we're going. the shame is, once again i did an ad with a biracial couple 20 years ago. we see it in movies, tv, but advertising is late to the game. my challenge to advertisers, get where the country is going. >> i was struck watching this, didn't strike me, we talked about the generational thing but how infrequently we do see interracial couples in any advertising. >> we are in a post racial environment with a black president and we are cohesive as a family here at the "today" show but a lot of people still see black and white and they like to bring out the dirty and the nasty. i'm glad we're having this conversation. >> there's an interesting point advertisers have one objective to make money for their shareholders. within reality there's 1% that are interracial couples that's probably what the representation should be. we can't overreact because once again their job is to sell product. this is a smart way to sell product. >> are we somehow kind of giving voice to this, few people that go on anonymous comment sections and say this kind of thing by highlighting it like this. >> we're also giving voice to the fact it's heart healthy and you know that makes me happy. >> oh, star, okay, bringing her own agenda item at the end. >> donny doesn't an advertiser have a responsibility to push the conversation forward. in other words you're not held accountable to that 1%. >> your responsibility is to do what's right for your brand and for cheerios this is right. there may be some brands, there may be some real mainstream, if i'm selling quaker oats i'm probably not doing that. i salute cheerios and get smart, more advertisers need to do it. >> star and donny, thank you as always. in other news we normally associate concierge with luxury services but target wants to bring it to the masses. nbc's mara schiavocampo has more. >> savannah, good morning. target wants to take their customer service to the next level. they just announced they'll be placing beauty concierges at stores around the country, part of what could be the changing face of retail. personalized concierge service. >> may i show you the rest of the accommodations?

>> yeah, started with just an image. i think books are for me they're not built things, they're found things and i had this image of a little boy in a wheelchair who was flying a kite and the image wouldn't go away, just stayed and i thought well there's something here, just wait and let it grow and little by little the amusement park showed up down the beach from where the little boy was flying the kite and the story started to form around that, and i thought to myself, why have i waited so long to do something with amusement parks? they're just scary places. >> they are. is it true the overlook hotel from "the shining" was in your original head an amusement park. >> "the shining" was going to be called "dark shine" and the idea was to have the family caretaking an amusement park in the offseason and then i thought it's kind of hard to trap people. you got to find a place that's a little more isolated so i settled on the overlook. >> is that how you do the stories, do they just come to you. you said you let it sit there and wait for it to come to you?

joyce chang is executive editor at "cosmopolitan" magazine and r.g. allen is with us. let's talk about male envy. establish first, joyce, what it is. what is frenvy? >> a double whammy of emotion, first the hit of jealousy when your friend has something that you want followed by a quick hit of guilt over how to deal with that conflicting emotion so it can be tricky to unpack. >> we've all experienced this, willie, you admit you as a guy have experienced this a little bit, sure maybe not as much as the ladies do. does it impact the relationship with your friends? >> it can impact a relationship but you first have to acknowledge that you're experiencing this and figure out then what you can do with it. if you don't acknowledge it, those feelings will sort of take over and sometimes you're envious and then guilty that you're envious, so sort of figuring that out and being courageous enough to have the conversation with your friend. >> oh you it el them in. >> i say do you. some people say you don't, just sweep it under the rug but my thing is having a courageous conversation, something's going on and i don't know what it is but i'm really happy for you but at the same time -- >> exactly. >> it's differing levels of frenvy, the fleeting moment when you see someone's vacation pictures on facebook and you say ooh i wish i were on that vacation or ones that are a little bit deeper when you see a friend get a promotion at work and you're feeling a little stagnant in your own career so it's much more about what's happening with you in the moment than what's happening actually in your friend's life. >> what about with kids, that's another one that comes up, your kids are playing in a group, you watch one that's the same age as yours and you say oh, that's a good looking kid or that kid -- >> better behave. >> that kid behaves or walking or that kid's reading. that does come up. >> we have to recognize that it's part of the human experience to feel a little bit of a tinge when you see your friend's kid is doing better than yours in something but i say have an action plan. if you're feeling like the grass is greener on the other side no matter what the issue is, then you got to water your own grass so that means like get to work with figuring out what were you going to need to make yourself feel comfortable. like i said, it's really about you. it's not about them, but the other side of that is that your friend might be a little bit too insensitive and bragadocious of what's going on with them and you need to pay attention to that, too. >> how do you tackle that talking to them about that if they are bragging too much and kind of rubbing it in your face if they have the perfect child and you don't. how do you do that tactfully and keep the friendship going? >> be kind, have a courageous conversation, be open and be honest, and say look, you know what? you're talking a whole lot about what's going on and i feel like you know there's monologue, not a dialogue. let's talk about what renegotiation looks like with our friendship, but that's hard to do if you're not really good friends in the first place. >> well i think it's also important to keep it focused on yourself rather than accusing someone of you keep talking about your children endlessly and turn it on yourself. i keep hearing you say x, y and z. i feel this way, and take ownership of your own feelings so you're not putting too much on them because really it's a question of perception really. >> that's a good way to handle it. all right, make sure we do that. got that willie?

[ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. for more information including cost support options, you see the "mini" ion my chest? funny, yes? no. i'm huge. flavor? i'm bursting with it. creamy? i ooze it. rich. creamy. and 100% natural cheese. mini babybel. snack a little bigger. it fills you with energy... and it gives you what you are looking for to live a more natural life. in a convenient two bar pack. this is nature valley. nature at its most delicious. whether it was that big movie flop or something called fish flop, millions of you set google on fire with your searches. >> here to tell us about some of the hottest topics that spiked online is google technologist daniel sieberg. good morning. >> good morning to you both. >> it's usually not about what is hot in terms of what is searched but what is spiking online.

>> 30 seconds and press on it to get the rest of the juice out. if you just make a margarita, the juice is raw and acidic and you get the bite from the white pit, we'll take the sugar, this is about a quarter cup of super fine sugar, four teaspoons of lemon and lime zest and of course a little salt in everything, and we're going to let that sit. if you let that sit up to 24 hours, at least four hours, what's going to happen you get a rich, mellow citrus flavor and it's much better like twice as good for the margarita. this has been sitting and we have blue agave tequila, up to 12 months is great. longer than that is bad because there's too much flavor. we put that in. you don't want too much flavor with everything else in there and triplsec, you don't want to overpour the citrus favor so one part each the juices, lemon and lime, the tequila and the quantro, in this case triplesec. this is an all will you ice tray, we like this the best. here is the trick it has a removable cover. you fill it up, you can overfill it, put the cover on, drain out the excess liquid and put it in the freezer, and store it up to 45 degrees like this. >> nothing leaking. >> there is something new in the world of ice cube trays. >> it's groundbreaking. there we go. >> you said margarita mixes are made by the devil themselves. >> did i say that?

>> over 100 people. so we -- we put up little signs in our house, please do not use, we have port-a-potties. but people don't listen. >> well, when you got to go, you gotta go. >> hoda walked in on bobbie's mother. >> she had to go. >> she didn't follow the rules. >> she probably didn't flush. >> anyway, it was a beautiful wedding. the next night frank and i went to the palace theater in stanford and hosted the d.a.r.t. damien's angels research trust. raised over bz 350,000. the beach boys were awesome. sonny grasso, the french detective, he was being honored. and by yesterday, frank and i were looking at each other going -- what's your name? so anyway, we have a big announcement to make, hoda-woman. >> it's time for our big reveal. we are going to be on a magazine cover. >> yes. >> and it is an honor to be on this one. so we're really excited. >> you're not going to see it today, though. >> we can't give it away until tomorrow. >> we can tell what it is, can't we? >> yeah. >> okay. we are the cover girls of not "maxim." >> no. >> not "penthouse"? >> no. >> not even "playboy." >> no. >> it's "aarp." you've not even officially qualified to be on the cover of "aarp." >> i'm knocking on the door. >> we're going to go to a luncheon today at a restaurant in new york and we're going do see our cover, and if we don't like it, we're not going to be here tomorrow, okay? >> when you open "the new york post" and look at the front page, usually you get a surprise just because of the way they do their headlines. >> they're colorful. >> this one was even more so. it's michael douglas and he talked about how he says oral sex gave him cancer. originally, people were saying it was the smoking and drinking, which i think is what people were, i guess led to believe or thought. but he gave an interview to the "guardian" when they were asking him if he regretted the smoking and drinking in his life. and he said well actually if you want to know what gave me cancer, it wasn't those things. it was oral sex. >> and the irony of that is, that's supposed to be safer than all of the other stuff. >> oh, wow. it's a tough subject. but you know what, it's so underreported. and it's so on the rise. hpv is the most commonly-transmitted sexual infection there is. there are more than 40 types of hpv. this one known as hpv 16, frank's number. and it manifests in the back region of the throat and mouth and he two times was misdiagnosmisdiagnose ed. and finally a friend looked down his throat and saw he had a walnut-sized node. good for michael for talking about it openly and it will probably save lives and we don't want to insinuate in any way who infected him. he's married to an absolutely beautiful actress and a lovely lady. the thing is kids, young kids, especially think that this kind of sex is just fine. and they start doing that sort of -- behavior. and it seems like today. >> it's not one of the things that kids are thinking about. >> and they're not worried about it. they're not nervous about it later on we're going to have a discussion with a gentleman who has written an important book called "what do women want?" he basically talks about how much we've been wrong about women's female sexuality. >> it's an interesting topic. one of his headlines in his book is we always think that the man is the one who strays. this is -- >> or the aggressor as well. >> or the aggressor, and they say women are the nesters. women want one person. he is saying no, they did tons of research. he's saying that's not the case. that women have just have a wandering eye as much as men do. >> are hard-wired in their dna just as much to. so that's going to be fascinating. any time you are promiscuous in terms of how many partners you have, whether you're the male or female, you exponentially increase the probability of disease. >> and again we're -- >> nobody likes to talk about that. they like to talk about freedom. >> we're talking about young kids in school who sometimes don't realize. >> okay. so good for michael. we're glad he's cancer-free for the last couple of years. it's everyone has a story week on how we make these segues -- that's how we do that. ♪ everyone has a story >> what a singer! >> who is that? >> when lauren was 15 years old, she lost her precious sister, jessica to sudden cardiac arrest. a few months after losing her, lauren found out she was pregnant. she was in high school. and rather than give up the baby, she decided to keep it. and show everybody out there that not all young mothers drop out of school. and are terrible mothers like we see on these teen mother shows. so with the support of her family, she finished high school. while raising her child. and she just graduated with a degree in elementary education from college and is the proud mother of an 8-year-old daughter, kalina, as well as her 9-month-old son, maddox. i just wanted to highlight her story and there they are, and so we have sheryl on the line. and who else, her mom? who else is on the line with us? >> it's sheryl and lauren. >> hi, lauren. >> great, great to talk to you all. >> how are you? >> do i hear your little one in the background? >> we're so excited. >> sheryl lalu and lauren clinton, from port st. lucie, florida, right?

this is what i saw when i was running through the park. it made me stop, i got tears in my eyes, i thought to myself -- hats off. there's a man there who is making his way around the track, he's doing, he's part of a race and these two guys are from this group called achilles international. they help all kinds of people who want to work out. and to watch this moment -- >> just to watch this moment in front of you, it made me fill up and i said to myself, my favorite thing is going to be that moment. sweet. >> and now i'm embarrassed by mine. it's a t-shirt, but not just any t-shirt. i love this -- this is called wear love. i love it because it likes a little retro and stuff and it says, put it on, wear it out. which is what those people were doing. it's a regular t-shirt, it sells for $28, the hoodie is $39. i just love them, i think they're beautiful. you can get it at -- wearlove.com. >> exactly. >> well could it be you?

>> it was one of the most surprising things i found. we think that men are programmed by evolution to spread their seed, be promiscuous and women are more driven to seek out one good man. i would say when anything, when it comes to sex, monogomy may be more of a problem for women than for men. >> because? this is scientific research? >> if i can do a goofy little hand-grab. >> here's committed relationships, desire starts at about the same point, women for men, plenty of sex drive, plenty of desire. women decline gradually. women seem to decline much more steeply. >> what causes that? >> different theories, one of the prime drivers that researchers talk to me about when it comes to women's desire is the desire to be desired. and maybe that sort of wanes a bit? >> that's a turn-on. >> it is a turn-on to know that someone looks at you a certain way. especially when you've been told growing up that you shouldn't seek out that kind of attention. we have all of these mixed messages. which you know -- which is unfair and it's just not true. but all of this complicates how we interact with one another. how we even talk to those monogamous partners in our life and add to that all the magazine articles that talk about a million ways to have sex just like it was in the beginning. >> and magazines say it's possible to have that, as long as you have a new partner. >> trying to find a female viagra pill. >> the reason i wrote about that for one chapter was less to sort of put a pill out there as to kind of look inside the neural pathways of sex give us a fascinating glimpse into that we might have to think in new ways about our relationship. one of the things we've been told over and over is share in the chores, share emotionally, great, wonderful, i'm a romantic, i'm into that. that's probably not going to stoke desire. maybe we knneed to put a little more distance. >> if you're in a monogamous relationship, how can you keep it alive? >> and again a lot of us choose that, because that's the way our society is organized. i think having your own identity, being able to go out with your friends, have lives and vacations separately and not just together, knowing who you are, you know, breeds that kind of desire, too. that you know that you are someone who is wanted and appreciated and attractive. and then you bring all of that erotic energy home to your partner. is something important. >> because ultimately, don't you think that most erotic thing is the brains, anyway? and, isn't it true that after, people just want to feel the way they felt at the beginning. they want to be told the things that partners have stopped telling them. >> i say too often we've told women from when they were girls right on up that their sexuality is to be somehow distrusted. i think strangely, we're a sex-saturated society. we think everything is unrestrained. for women it's definitely still a double standard. >> sex-saturated, not exactly sex-satisfying. >> and we should be sex-positive. >> stop trying to one-up each other. >> thanks both of you very much. >> monica seles is serving up something new. >> monica seles is serving up so[ hosmer ] i kinda knew their reaction would be a little like, you know, "what are you thinking?" oh, i had a knot in my chest. i didn't really want her to go but...i knew she could do it. i felt like there were bigger and better things for me to do.
