Lets to this. You know whos freaking out . Karen swenson. My best friend. Thats her husband and her daughter, katherine and john. Anyway so cute. Theyve been talking world cup nonstop, okay . So everybodys buzzing about it. I know. Were going to watch it. Youre going to be on the plane. Im going to listen to it on the radio on the way to the airport. You know whos into it . Will ferrell. Will ferrell is so fun. Hes gearing up for the game. He gave us just a little taste. Usa, usa its an honor to be playing tomorrow. Im not going to lie to you, im not going to lie to you, im not in the best shape, okay . You know how much time i got . Im going to try my best. In the spirit of america, if the game gets close i will bite i will bite i will bite every person and playerfy have to i love it. I love it. Could there be a better pumpup speech than that . No. I will bite every german playerfy have to. My moms watching, watching all the world cup games, my brothers totally into it. My sister who lives in dubai is watching. Oh my gosh. She so is excited in dubai, theyre getting ready, her usa shirt on is my phone number showing . No, we hope not. But i like it. Shes number one go usa. Were really ready. Theres a study out there, the wall street journals talking about it, it talks about when men wear too much cologne. Okay . Henry wears cologne. But he does not wear too much. You know why . If he wore too much mama would say, take a shower. You dont like it . Too much cologne is nauseating. I mean, i hope im not offending any of the gentlemen here. Too much cologne in a confined space, i think if its in a confined space. In an elevator, in a car, on a plane. But too much of anything. Right . Weve learned this. Is not a good thing. Do you remember since we love will ferrell can we show that clip from anchorman when he was doing the cologne bit . Its called sex pan author by owed on, illegal in nine countries. Yep, its made with bits of real panther. So you know its good. Its quite pungent. Oh, yeah. With a formidable scent. Stings the nostrils. In a good way. Yep. I have to be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline. Theyve done studies, you know. 60 of the time, it works. Every time. That doesnt make sense. Im sorry. Can we just watch a will ferrell movie . For the whole hour, why not . Have you ever been in a situation in a cab or a elevator i just hold my breath or hang my head out the window of the cab. Ive never said anything to anybody. Okay. Have you ever said anything to a stranger . Not to a stranger, no way. But what do you think makes men put on way too much . I think either, a, its summer, theyre hot, they think they dont smell great, so they think a few extra squirts is going to be good. Not good. Thats never good. I think theyre going out, usually i think certain cultures like more cologne or perfume. I think its the pictures of the hot men in the ads with the abs on the beach that inspire my husband to wear a lot. What do you mean . Have you ever seen the ads for like calvin klein cologne, the sixpack . I believe that henry thinks, if i spray more i will look like that. We do that, guy dozen that. Henry, do you think that . Henrys not here. He could be. Somewhere out there. So heres kind of an interesting story. All right. So this freelance journalist wanted to figure out, beautiful means Different Things in different countries, really. So he decided to take a photograph and send it to different photo journalists around the country and did them to photoshop it to see what is beautiful to them in their country. So heres a look at the original. This is a plain photo. Which by the way i think shes beautiful. With not a stitch of makeup on. Heres the united states. Big hair. Light makeup. Heres argentina. Pretty, its interesting. Philippines. Wow. Morocco. Interesting. She received over 25 photoshopped photos so far. Its so interesting. Because beauty really is different. You know what i think is interesting, i thought the first picture was where she looked the most beautiful. I feel like thats just culturally, you know with not a stitch on. I grew up with a mom who bought makeup from echards, walgre walgreens. When did you start wearing makeup . I remember going to church in sixth or seventh great, i was excited about something, i put makeup on. I came and sat in the car and my dad wouldnt let me go. I mean, i looked like a clown. Two little rouges. Blue stuff. I think maybe if i knew how to do it well, he probably wouldnt have known. Remember the bonnie bell lip gloss . Everybody lopd bonnie bell. The watermelon, the strawberry. You could get away with that. When was your first . I think i was late. I think i wore it in high school a little. I always tried to wear lipstick, my mom always said, you dont have lipstick on . Put lipstick on. She thinks you dont look good without it. My mom at meals is putting lipstick on when shes done eating. Women and lipstick. Even when i go jogging, im going out running. What do you mean . Hike this . Yes. Go put on lipstick. Oh my god, im going running. Im going to the gym, i never need lipstick. You never know who you might run into. I had this situation on the walk home from a restaurant where i was feeding my child spaghetti so i had spaghetti on my ankle, on my purse, all over my face. I run into taye dougs on my street. He said, hey, i know you but i dont know how. Hi, im jenna. Thinking, mamas got it he said, you have some green stuff in your teeth. He said, good to see you but you have a lot of green things in your teeth. And then mila laughed and we called it a night. You know what, im surprised he said something. I think it takes a really strong guy to tell you. Dont you hate when youve visited with lots and lots and lots of people, then you get home . By the way. Right here, right here . I got home and i still had some in my teeth. Of course. It was a jungle up in there. Lets move on. The facts of life reunion. Heres a great reunion. How about this, blair . Remember blair . And mrs. Garrett . Look at blair and mrs. Garrett. All right . Her names lisa wellchell and charlotte ray. They put it on instagram. Anyway. Is this going to air . I hope so. Next month lisa is starring with kim fields, who played tooty, i loved tooty, in a movie on hallmark. Facts of life 79 to i remember watching the halloween special and we were scared. It was a comedy but they were 5. So anything, there was a ghost or something in the dorm, barbara and i could not sleep. Terrified. I dont have the belly exactly. Heres one of those great fellgood pieces of video. Pope francis was driving through italy on this country road. Looked out of his window and he saw signs asking him to bless an angel. So he got out of the car and he found this young disabled woman named roberta, take a look. I love this. Oh my gosh. Thats one of the things that just makes you want to cry. Especially, you know what, hes so unique in that way. I love this pope. Look at the car hes riding in. He pulled over on a country road when he saw signs. I mean, that tells you everything about that guy. You can say, im one with the people. But he shows it. He actually is. He shows it. Were going to end with a little ihoda. Oh, good. I love the Zac Brown Band. I hate to keep going but them but i cant help it. I keep listening in my apartment over and over. This is a song by the Zac Brown Band with great harmonies called sweet annie. Crank it up in your house. Here comes the best part. Its coming. Ready, are you ready . Here it is. So good. I agree with you on your Country Music things. Can we just savor that for one minute . Sweet annie by the Zac Brown Band. It reminds her of alabama, a new kind of alabama. It sounds old. I like old country. Awesome. Is it okay or not okay to have career denial . Career denial . Heres what we had to say about it. It seems ridiculous to me. You know what hoda . Be grateful for every blessing that comes your way. I didnt mean you, i meant them. Whatever. I say define yourself any way you want, to but never forget the people or the job that helped you get where you are today. Wow. Profound insincere but profound.

Very, very, very creepy. Its pretty disturbing character, yeah. How did you study to play warren jeffs . Id been fascinated when he was in the news at the time of his arrest. And then when i read this terrific script, and it was being directed by this wonderful director, gabriel range, i started to read a lot. The most useful thing was warren being a pathological narcissist recorded himself, made audiotapes of everything. He used to be a schoolteacher. All of his lessons. Later on, these bizarre sessions where he would train his wives. Essentially what was expected of them sexually. It was all in religious doctrine. I got to hear hours of his tape, his voice. And i kind of his personality i would listen to it over and over and over again and work on them. To find the voice, also his personality. Ew scary. That personality, i watched him, i was freaked. How did you get that personality out . What did you do to separate, when you were filming this, from warren . Scenes where it was hard. Its what we do, actors. Some of it was hard, some of the scenes are really awful. The ways that, you know in this community, you know, women are subjugated anyway. Its a its a culture that is essentially women are almost like slaves. He took it to another extreme. So this is really uncomfortable stuff. Lets talk scandal. Weve got to. Done with that. Season four is approaching. Yeah. Anything, any tidbit, any crumbs . Any details, any i know nothing, i keep telling you people well, chanda doesnt tell us. And really because they work on the scripts to the last minute. Yeah. And, you know, i really think chanda and our team of writers are constantly creating new ideas. New stuff happens all the time. So we dont know usually until a couple of days before we start filming. Weve heard Kerry Washington plays practical jokes with you on the set. Harass. She likes to tease me. What does she do . She mocks me. You know. I cant even think you cant even explain . Well, one of the funny ones was okay, this is embarrassing. In the first one that i directed, season two, it was very challenging. Because actually i had to direct a love scene between me and kerry. It was this time when kit and olivia are reunited, we have this amazing love scene, its very passionate. But i did direct a sex scene with the two of us. So it came down to where like, what kind of underwear fits where . It had never been seen that way. I think he wears boxer. Boxer briefs . Kerry goes, tony, you dont want to wear boxer briefs, men of a certain age shouldnt wear boxer briefs. I love the music they played during your sex scene. Like boom yeah. Yeah. Playing on the banjo . On the banjo. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Thanks for coming to see us. Warren jeffs premieres this saturday on lifetime. Let sleeping dogs lie.

We dont have to blow it over the fourth of july weekend . Right, you can indulge, its smart choices. All of our visitors are coming for food. Im going to describe these and youre going to say which is fewer calories. Wait a minute. I hear someone at the door. Open the door. Look whos here, aunt louise. What shes brought is potato salad thats man nats based, italianbased pasta salad. Whats the question . The question is, one cup of each, which has fewer calories . I know. Pasta salad. You would be wrong. I was going to go with the other one, whatever it was. It was going to be potato salad. Man nats you can spread a lot and use less. Oilbased dressing can be deceptive. I thought mayonnaise was fattening. It is. Oh, someones here. Whos there . Oh, its larry the fatherinlaw. A lean burger with lettuce and tomato, and then a hot dog with sauerkraut, which is lower . The one that is definitely lower in calorie is the hot dog. Thats right. Thats right, because its something that if you use lean beef, thats good. A lot of people dont like that because it tastes dry. You can mix in some choppedup mushrooms for moisture. Hot dogs not a great quality protein so have just one. But its all about portions. Justify yourself. Somebodys here well, look at this. Elizabeth from across the street. Would you like to have two ribs or a quarter of a chicken . Theres two . Chicken. You are wrong. 380 calories for that chicken with the skin, or 300 for the ribs. If you like it, just have few ir. Take the skin off. Who is it . Moving right along. Oh, look. Our younger brother damian is here with some libations. Youve got a lime cooler and a beer. Going with the beer, lower calories. Hoda would be right, 150 calories. I know my alcohol. One cooler is not a spritzer. I was going to say. I havent had a wine cooler in a very long time. Who is there . Who is it . Its candace, our coworker, who is a fiberrich girl. Shes brought baked beans and corn. Which one is going to have fewer calories . A ear of corn or half a cup of beans . Id say corn. You would be right. 100 calories versus 140. Both good choices. Who is it . Oh, its little blake whos bringing dessert that mommy made. Cupcake or brownies . Brownies. Whoo its the frosting. So what happens . Is this the tiebreaker . Tiebreaker. The tiebreaker is linda coming with some snacks. Carrots and celery sticks with half a cup of guacamole. Or a handful of chips and salsa. Which is lower . Chips and salsa. Hoda is right. Youve won a watermelon. Jenna can have it. Youre such a good sport, hoda. Coming up how to sneak a little Summer Learning and make it fun for your kids too. Whats a fourth of july Party Without drinks . Refreshing cocktails that will be a smach at any summer bash after this. Vo this is the summer. The summer that summers from here on will be compared to. So get out there, and get the best price guaranteed. Find it for less and well match it and give you 50 toward your next trip. Expedia. Find yours. Ugh. Heartburn. Did someone say burn . Try alka seltzer reliefchews. They work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. Mmm. Amazing. Yeah, i get that a lot. Alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. Enjoy the relief. Now that summer is here, kids just want to have fun. There are easy way to sneak in learning and prevent summer brain drain. The best news is your kids will be willing participants. Here with fun ideas is ceo and founder of ibewise. Com katherine cohen. Interesting debate. Some people think its a good idea if kids go to school year round because in the summertime they get mushy and have to get caught 100 they get back to school. Theres a. The out by Johns HopkinsUniversity School of education that says kids are learning theyre losing two months of grade level math skills over the summer and more in reading achievement. So it is important to keep your kids brains active during the summer. But there are creative ways to do that. Some people are fighting for longer school years. If thats not going to happen yeah, a lot of kids go to camp, does that work . That is enough to have your kids brain clicking . They can go to camp but i always find families plan a trip somewhere, they want to go away. Heres a way to get your kids involved. They can help plan the routes and the costs and look up the history and facts of the places theyre going so theyre learning geography, theyre learning about financial literacy, theyre learning organizational skills. Thats smart. Usually kids pile in the car, go to the beach, thats the end of it. It makes the vacation a learning trip is what youre saying. Exactly, handson activities. Gardening or baking. Youre learning about science. Youre learning about science, nature. If youre baking youre measuring things, having to learn about measurements. And they have to read instructions. A lot of kids, i know were going to get to apps, a lot of kids are glued to video games. Thats whats happening. Its summer, they play games, that cant be good for your brain or can it be . I liked going back to the basics. I think board games and puzzles are great ways for families to get together and it helps improve kids problemsolving skills and social skills. Old School Scrabble and boggle which help build vocabulary. There are alternatives to video games. They have scrabble online, on the ipad. Exactly. I obviously am biased because my mom was a librarian, its in my dna. Public libraries are an amazing resource for kids. They are. Theyll put together book groups for kids, a way for kids to interact with peers, also keep up their reading over the summer. They do other activities for kids as your kids are doing. Language classes and things like that. Language class at 14 months. Doesnt she sing cool songs . Lets talk about apps. So all the apps im going to give you are free. So the first one were going to look at is from the wwf together, Elementary School kids. Whats cool is you can look up endangered species all over the world. Learn about conservation. What i love about it is theres this interactive 3d globe. So go around the world, lets choose a spot here. We can learn about madagascar, ringtailed lemur. Kids are going to remember this from madagascar so thats great. Middle school kids, you say mass ninja . This is also for Elementary School kids. Lets look this up. My second gracer was on this playing, this is fun. Basically youre a ninja, youre in your tree house. And you have to defend your tree house from these cat bots and dog bats. After you eliminate them, math problems come up and you sneak those in. Thank you, we really appreciate it. Soy we have to wrap. On our website well have all the apps and everything.
