I mean, i know theyre supposed to be nothing but why chance it . Why not go the other way . You know what hoda does when she sees a black cat or something . She does the rafael nadal thing. She picks a wedgie, then she pulls on her crotch, then she does this, this, this. What are you talking about . And thats the way the black cat doesnt get to her. There was one of those studies that people often conduct. This ones done and they wanted to know how attached people were to their internet, okay. And the question they didnt call me. If you were flying, would you rather have the internet or a seat that reclined . Would you rather have the internet or a bathroom . Would you rather have the internet or would you rather sit next to a crying baby . Which of these there we go. I am the last person on the earth you should ask that question because i dont have i dont want the internet, period. What about you . I i like the internet on really long flights. You know what the funny thing about all this is, i have an ipad, right, and i used to read a lot. I would read books or read thats when you were with nbc news. But now because i have my ipad, i find myself watching tv. Yes. I dont read anymore. Im watching decline of civilization. Everyone is because why im thinking, should read. Im like, oh, my god, house of cards, why would i read . I think i stopped reading because of that whole situation. When i was flying out to california with cass, she had been trying to get me to see this one tv show. Its on another network so i wont mention it. Mom, im telling you, if you watch ten minutes, youre going to be hooked. I was hooked. I saw it all the way. I only saw the first season but all the way. I think thats whats happening now. Because all your mobile devices now allow you to see things everywhere. Why bother reading . Its overrated any way. I know you guys are looking at this thing thinking, what is that . Its a new ad that ive been watching. Frank and i have some hearing issues at our house. That is a new hearing aid. No, it isnt. Theres a new hearing aid out and they say, its so discrete. Its a huge thing with a wire. Nobody will notice it. Bobbies buzz is coming up. Bobbie will show us the latest things. Its like ear jewelry, its not like an earring . That would be good though if you had a blue tooth, you could have that and bling it out. What is blue tooth . Blue tooth is the thing you talk in in your ear. So you dont have to i dont want that either. Now the other thing i dont want is people talking on those phones. If they get the internet and allow cell phones on think planes. Dont do that. Sitting next to someone from new york to l. A. Privacy under your own blanket with your own ipad or whatever youve got. But dont make sounds. And dont dont make sound. Okay. All right. Stop it. And dont talk. Dont yell out peoples names. Nothing like that. Phillip golonas, the social cues in new york, taught us. So lets say youre at a dinner party with some friend, and you want to show a picture of your baby on your phone. Someone says can i see your baby . Ive been doing that a lot now because ive been taking pictures of bambino. When they hand it to you, some people go, what a cute picture. Then they go like this. And they start scrolling. Then they see your sexting and everything. Im very, very guilty of that. Because i fireded if someone handed me the phone, its like a photo album, here are my pictures. Its to see one picture. I like to go through and go, ooh, whos that . I go what are you looking at . Somebody wrote in and said, is it wrong to go through the pictures . Its a common issue. Would you go through someones photos . I dont know how to do all that stuff. If someone says, im going to show you a picture, i go, how adorable, thats it. But now i know not to do it. He said dont do it, its really rude, but he understands why people do. Who cares . Ask r can we start that over again why does he know everything anyway . I dont know if he went to school for that but hes a sweet guy. So speaking of photos, this is one of those things that sometimes you feel like if youve ever been if youve ever been to a concert or a big event, if you look out into the audience or youre in the audience, everyones got their phone up and theyre videotaping and taking pictures of the actual event. Which is illegal to begin with, isnt it . Well, at the concerts here for instance, if you look at the crowd, nobodys just watching it. Most people are ers everybodys missing the moment now, right, because theyre videotaping. I do that. I videotape and i never look again at the tape. Why did i shoot it . What was i thinking . You werent thinking. I love them. I was like, this is the best thing, i better tape it for later. And you didnt . No, and while i was there, i was watching a beautiful concert that was right here through a tiny screen like this. Like, im missing it. Because its all right there. And im looking at it through here. Not great. It doesnt make any sense to me. I know that you guys are sick to death of me talking about that kind of stuff. I dont want to miss out. I am running out of time in my life, okay. You hit 60, youre aware of that. My gosh, i dont know how much time i have left. I dont want to look i dont want to be i know. I dont want a life like that. This woman charlene decided she was going to make a video about cell phones when she if you didnt have a cell phone and you attended a concert or did certain things, what would it be like, if you were like you, so this is about you. Lets watch. Okay. Who knows i saw him pull out of the parking lot and turn right and the box is still stuck. I dont think its real. Yeah. Its true. It is true. The proposal. You see. I went to a Dunkin Donuts the other day to get an iced tea with a friend. Theres a group of kids sitting there. They are all sitting there and chatting and talking and every single one them looking at their phone. Doing this. Id like to know if fewer crimes are solved now because no one can see or hear anything. You know how many cute boys walk by when you have your face in your phone . What are you missing . Hello. All right. This is not sexy to me. Were going to do instead . We are having troubles today. I should bring this up. Before we get to any of your stuff, i felt badly because you said a couple of days ago, youve been repeating it, that someone has stolen your fanny pack, okay. Thats right, my favorite fanny pack. Not that one. Not that one. Thats one of them. That one, thats my favorite one. I love your expression. That was me in israel. We dont really have a fanny pack, but we do have look at the videotape dont videotape it. So these are the oldfashioned fanny packs. Not the ones you like. Thank you. I got you three of those. Well, i didnt. Now we have something thats even better. These are the new fanny packs. This is called a bandie . This is called a brandie. You put the bandie around your waist like this and you slide in here. Your credit card and cash. And you have different ones. Theyre called bandis. Its not as clunky as one of these. I like the clunky one. But all right. Im not that im not grateful. I call bandie wear. 22. It looks like its underwear gone wrong. Thats somebody jerry. Thats jerrys. Thank you, jerry. But theyre i think its cool. You like the other ones with more room to put your keys and things. That fanny pack, the one was chanel, 30 years ago. Its gone, kiss it goodbye. It went all over the world with me. You know, i was attached to it. I know, say goodbye. Its time for our johnsons baby of the week announcement.

What sleeping in separate beds can do to your marriage. We uncover. And bobby thomas is here with the buzz. First, these messages. Its time to talk about sleep. In the classic 1950s sitcom i love lucy ricky and lucy were famously known to sleeping in separate beds been that was due to Television Standards back then and it didnt always mean bliss for them. Could it be healthy for your relationship . Here to hopefully put the subject to rest so you can get some, dr. Carol ash, the director of sleep medicine at Meridian Health and dr. Jeff gardere. We were talking about the number couples that sleep in separate beds. According to one study, 40 . That seems high. Does that mean separate rooms, like lucy and ricky, what . Separate beds, separate rooms, its actually a surprising number. I would agree with both of you. Theres reasons why you may not be able to sleep in the same bed with someone. Theres a different temperature ideal for each of us. Menstrual cycle, menopause, pregnancy. Snoring. A big one. And you might just be a light sleeper. You know, for people who want to sleep apart, its okay. But we hear so much about the fact that theres a negative impact on your health. Some of us dont get rest. How many years is this taking off my life . It definitely causes premature aging. It causes many diseases we hope and treat, cardiovascular disease, weight gain. Theres also underlying issues and sleep disorders that you dont want to ignore. What could it do to a relationship . Because kathie and i were talking about this. Once you start Something Like that its a statement. It is a statement. Both of you agree on the separate beds or separate bedrooms, then it works out. If its only one of you who wants to do it, then of course youre going to have a partner whos upset about it. And i believe it really does build that wedge in the relationship. And it makes it much more at risk for more issues that may eventually end up in a breakup. Then you havent dealt with the problem. But yet youve established a precedent. Exactly. We see if its only one person wants to do it, usually theres some sort of an emotional conflict in the relationship and it becomes, you know, avoidance. One person doesnt have any trouble sleeping. Theyre like, im fine. And the other person is the one who doesnt get any rest. I guess you have to weigh whats worse, not sleeping or harming your relationship. The problem is, you dont want to fall asleep on the relationship. And thats the problem because if its about your own selfish need to get sleep and youre not really attending to the needs of the partner, then that could be a real issue. Well, you brought a couple of items here that might solve some of the problems. These are some simple things you can use if you decide i dont want to sleep apart but theres still that restlessness. This is called night wave. It emits a blue light, a pulse, on the wall that you synchronize your breathing too. It helps you relax. Think about it like counting sheep. Regulating your breathing and your rhythm. Oh, wow, okay. Its like glow to sleep mask. Theres little lights inside the mask you can focus on and that helps eliminate the worry and the intrusive thoughts. Its not soft. On the inside, its tough, i would agree with you. I like to sleep on my side. Theyd be i dont know that that would look it really does work, but the other thing you see with that, it allows you to increase melatonin, production of melatonin, which makes you much more tired and allowed you to sleep. Naturally. The last couple of things . If your temperature is an issue, this pillow is a cooler fabric and it also has greater aeration so it will keep the temperature cool and the pillow sonic speaker blocks out noise that you might have problems with if youre a light sleeper. Thank you very much. The problem goes on and on. All right. Reasons mommy drinks. Were going to give you a few. Were going to take a humorous look at being a new parent.

She can get to be a couple hundred pounds. Adorable. Shes just going to come and sniff around. You dont need to be afraid of them . No, shes just exploring this area. Shes obviously never been here before. Warthogs, these guys live in africa. Theyre superadapted for arid environments. They drink almost no water. He looks like he could be prey for everything. Lions, leopards. Aw. Bottom of the food chain. Look how hes on his knees. Thats how they move around. Shes going after. Why dont we bring out our next animal. These are raccoons, right . These are two baby raccoons, orphans. Were going to feed them a little bit of a treat. Fruit loops. They can get in anybodys trash can. As you mentioned, raccoons, even though theyre cute, they live all around us, they are wild animals. You never want to try to make them a pet. That goes for any of these animals. Well, theyre nocturnal, arent they . They are generally nocturnal. In urban areas, oftentimes youll see these guys coming out to take advantage of garbage and human food. Theyre running out of fruit loops. Just because you see these guys in the day time does not mean theyre rabid but you never want to approach any wild animal. These are our favorite because ranger rick is our mascot. They are very cute. Lets bring out the next animal here. Whoa, they were fighting other the last fruit loop. This guy is it is a mere a meerakat. Its a kikaju. You can pat her on the back if you want. Its very soft. Its actually kind of waterproofed. These guys live in central and south america and rain forests. Im going to turn her around here. Shes looking. No, she wants well, theyre used to what does that mean . Shes really clinging on the back of my shirt there. Check out the tail. The tail is prehensile. It means they can actually hang from it. They tuesday as a fist. These guys eat fruit and nectar. They have a really long tongue. He likes the way youre smelling. Speaking of smelling. Speaking of smelling, we will take out the smelly animal now. This is the otter. This is the north American River otter. I cannot tell you how bad this thing smells. They kind of reek a little bit because theyre related to weasels and skunks. Theyre related to skunks . All the animals in that family has scent glands and they use them to communicate with others of their species. Beautiful, beautiful animals. Honestly. Also a baby. Theyve got waterproof fur. You can see how awesome this is. These guys live in rivers and streams all throughout north america. They were once really almost wiped out. Because we protected then, theyre starting to come back. And not an animal you would see very regularly, but an important one out there in the ecosystem. Its own ecosystem, yes. Now, this one is kind of special. Im going to let one of you guys hold this out in the air. Hold your arm out like that, kathie lee. Whoops. So anyway, this is a white necked craven.

A lot of mothers are nursing and you have to be careful with that. Cocktail that goes along with each, right . Right. What have you brought us . Well, we can start with the baby belly. The beleni.

These are rope mussels which are usually cleaner. You want to be careful you dont use them if theyre open a little bit or theyre unusually heavy because that means theres internal grit.

Then i will show you how to make the escargot. Then im going to show you how to make this. Were going to take two sticks of butter. Thats enough for two people, isnt it . One for each. So were going to put a little tabasco, worst shire, lemon, shallots, garlic, fenle and parsley. We mix that up into our softened butter. Weve made a little ahead here to keep things moving. Weve seen the mussels, weve cooled them. Then were going to put the mussels right on there. This is great because you can make them ahead of time until your guests come.
