I dont think they were saying this. But i wish they were saying, and the man from tommy boy is now tackled on the ground. They were not saying that. They could have been. This game is critical. Now mexico won against croatia. They advance. This is a big deal. Thats important. Winning is good. When is our game . When are we playing . Thursday. We play thursday. Somebody over there is like, thursday, like we dont know. I always look crazy when im celebrating. Like somebody hit me in the back of the head with a baseball bat. I have crazy eyes when i get excited. I was telling you the other day. I was watching that with my baby. Oh, my god, we scored. Her face was like mommy, you are whack. There is a study out there. Some of in the teams participating in the world cup are following this. They say abstaining from sex may help your performance on the field. And some coaches are asking that their players abstain. The guy from bosnia said no sex in brazil. Its not a holiday. Were here to work. Chop chop. We heard that olympians village can be the place that is quite raucous. Are they saying that because they dont want her to pull a muscle . What is going on in your house . Time. Com looked at this issue. Theres a lack of evidence showing whether or not it works. Whatever in your brain makes you play better. Superstitions. Whatever, if they think that thats the thing, they should abstain. Theres times when theres a Football Game going on, my husband is a redskins fan. They havent played that well since i have known him, since hes been alive. Oh, they just scored, stay in that exact position. Im like dont move. Guys have a lot of superstitions that way. There was an american student who was at a museum. And you know how sometimes they have crazy statues and sculptures. You want to take a picture. This german student wanted to take a picture. You have to say what the picture was. He was taking a picture of a giant va jay jay. He put his legs in there. His friend took the picture and posted it. The firemen had to come, okay. And and remove him. It took 20 people. This is a sixfoot replica. Dont say sixfoot replica. Well, replica is better than gigi, or whatever you said. Jay jay. Whatever the gross thing was that came out of your mouth. Replica is much better. It took all these people to pull him out. He hasnt felt that way since the day he was born. No . No . He has a picture that will last forever. He does. And his parents are humiliated. The bachelorette was on last night. People are tuning in. A liedetector test. A group date. Jimmy kimmel watched the show and had his own take on it. Lets hear what he had to say. Yes. Are you good in bed . Yes. Have you slept with over 20 women . Yes. Do you wash your hands after you go to the bathroom . No. By the way, the guy the guy who said he was good at sex got eliminated. And the guy who doesnt wash his hands is still in it. So i have to say. I felt sort of bad that these gentlemen had their dirty laundry aired on television. The guy doesnt wash his hands. After he poo poos. Ive been in the ladies room. Im done. Watch someone come out. They walk out and say, hi. And sometimes, you know, you might forget to wash your hands. Its one of those things, when i watch someone slam the door and go out the front. No, thank you. Have you done it forgetting or racing . I probably, one time have done it. Is this a liedetector test . And maybe once. Now that i have a child, its constant. I feed her from my hands sometimes. Thats one of those dealbreakers in a relationship, dont you think . I like someone to wash their hands. Robin thicke is at it again. Hes trying so hard to get paula patton back.

It doesnt sound like that is going to it doesnt to me. Have you had any grand gestures like that from a man trying to get you back . I have not.

You want to cook with us. Is it okay to date a coworker . We asked online what you thought . Who better to weigh in than kate white. Author and former cosmo so what im saying is, people like options. When you take geico, you can call them anytime you feel like saving money. It dont matter, day or night. Use your computer, your smartphone, your tablet, whatever. The point is, you have options. E di to r. Now to a summer pageturner you wont be able to put down about a tv host with a mysterious enemy. Its called eyes on you. Just the kind of juicy read you would expect from kate white. This is book number nine for you . Yeah. Oh, my god. Where do the ideas come from . I was inspired as a girl by nancy drew. I love doing devious plots, whodunits combined with psychological suspense. Its fun for me. This is truly a whodunit. This is based on an anchor, a little close to hoda. You dont want this story to happen to you. Things start happening to her like acid in her makeup. Small things at first. They escalate. She begins to realize she has this secret enemy that wants to bring her down or maybe even cost her her life. Where do the ideas come from for you . Sometimes, i keep a file of great crime articles. Sometimes ill overhear something, even in a hotel lobby that gets me thinking. You start with the germ and move it out from there. All the years of working with cosmo, you know how a real workplace works and that Office Romances do happen. Thats an interesting subtopic. I wanted to get that in there. It makes it a little sexy. Also. Its an issue we face. A lot of people get involved with people they work with. It can be a good thing. It can be bad thing, too. Is that a nono . In your opinion . If youre two peers, there is no policy against it, youre single, a lot of people get married that way. Most companies forbid if one of you is a supervisor. Robin gets involved with a coworker. Which kind of makes things worse for her. We did a poll on today. Com. 75 of the readers have had an office romance. Is that high . Does that sound high . No, it doesnt to me. Its not . A lot of studies have said its obvious i havent had one. There are a lot of studies that show around 40 . I just thought, the today show viewers happened to be honest. And there is an issue in the workplace of women and competition. A side note. Thats something im sure you studied a lot at cosmo and in your life. I worked with so many wonderful women. You love it. Sometimes there can be someone who has it out for you. If you get involved in an office romance, one of the dangers of it spilling over to the workplace, too, is that people get annoyed with that, particularly if youre the woman. Were more likely to get annoyed with a woman. Even if its totally not against the rules, youre two peers, you have to be careful. What is going to happen when its over . I mean, hes sitting right there. You know. Well as you said, equals makes it better. What is the problem if you get involved with a boss . That can be a sticky situation. It can be grounds for termination. It can damage your career. You dont want to go there. You dont. You want to be known for your brand and what you bring to the table. Not for the fact that you got involved with jason. What is the next project for you . You have such an interesting career path. What is next . Im working on another suspense novel. I give speeches. I would say to anyone who has toyed with the idea of, would i like to change careers, do the math, see if you can pull it off. And go for it. Its delicious to be on your own. I love advice one woman gave. If youre in a job you dont love and one you do love, spend 10 of your time and money toward the other job and slowly amp it up. That way, you dont feel trapped where you are. You can try other things. You can romanticize things, too. I started writing mysteries while i was still at cosmo. Well, youre good at it. Thank you.

We worked with cetaphil to find amazing women for the gentle but powerful contest. We were looking for someone who lives and gives back with empathy and kindness. We have chosen Mary Beth Schewitz. She suffered in the loss of her 20yearold son max due to sudden cardiac arrest. Shes started a foundation. Today, we celebrate mary beth and her story. That thursday started like any other for my family. Max helped me with a chore and said, gotta run, mom, i love you. Those were the last words max spoke to me. He collapsed at work and doctors could not revive him. Max died of sudden cardiac arrest. We soon learned that an ekg test cloud find hidden problems in kids like max. If found in time, they could get treatment. They didnt have to die. I vowed then to help find these kids. Through the max schewitz foundation, we have provided 45,000 ekgs to chicago Area High School and college students. Over 800 needed more evaluation. Of those, many had lifethreatening situations. They will now have the opportunity to live full lives. I cherish that we were able to give them this gift. And Mary Beth Schewitz is joining us. How are you . Im well. Tell us more about your son max. Max was a handful. He was a child that smiled from birth and filled our lives with joy and adventure. He loved reptiles. We had many in our basement. Mmhmm. I bet you did. One of those things when you hear a story like this, you say, how could that happen . He was young. The heart was strong. What was it . He was seemingly healthy. Took many risks with his life. We wouldnt have guessed that the greatest risk was in his own body, his own heart. After he passed away, you have two other kids. Youre married. You have started this foundation together. How has that helped you heal . You know, we now have a much bigger family. Truthfully. In a way we never anticipated. People, you think when you have lost a son, you have lost his whole future. His future wife, future children. Things you might have looked forward to are gone. But, unexpectedly, things come into your life in a way that grows your family. That i have all of these children who we have saved, who are darling kids and fun to follow and see what theyre doing in their careers and what their goals and hopes are. It must be astonishing to have a machine in a school and realize that a child, you found out there was a problem before it became a problem. Thats an incredible thing youre giving to people. It is. It is a remarkable gift. Im honored in my sons memory to be able to do that for these kids. You call them the max substitutes. You said theyre living the lives that your son didnt. Talk to us about some of them. These kids. I would say one of the first kids we found was conrad. An excellent spokesman for the foundation. Hes grown from a 15yearold boy with long qt that will tell you our testing saved not only him but his sisters life. She was in grade school when we found him in high school. Oh, my gosh. Wow. They were immediately put on medication and now expect to live full and complete lyes. Their children will be at risk. They know this now. Thank you for all the work youre doing for all in the kids in maxs memory. Its my honor. Were back with more. But first, this is today on nbc.
