Double standard . Incredibly revealing social experiment, actors pretending to be a couple fighting on the street. He attacks her. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. Then she attacks him zblie wasn. I wasnt cheating on you. You wouldnt believe how differently witnesses reacted today, friday, october 3rd, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Im matt lauer, along with tamron hall. Tamron is here while savannah is on Maternity Leave. Natalie morales and dylan dreyer join us as well. Al is making his way back from afghanistan. It seems every day this week weve had some new development in the ebola scare and today is no exception. Now its hit home. Dr. Nancy is with us from monrovia. How is this young man, ashoka mukpo doing . Hi, matt. He sounded this morning well. Its been 48 hours. Of course, when he realized that he had a fever and was feeling achy in this environment, the word ebola pops to the top of everyones mind. He was quarantined overnight, 48 hours ago, got his test. It turned out to be positive and at that point, its all been a matter of logistics of stabilizing him. He is with Doctors Without Borders and will be air lifted out to a Medical Center in the United States. But hes good. The amount of virus in his body is low. He should have a very good prognosis. Obviously theres a larger team there in liberia, nancy, with you. So the question is, how long had you been working with him . And how close was the contact between you and the other members of the team with him once he became symptomatic . Well, once he became symptomatic, we only spent two hours together. He and i were working in a workplace and he told me that he wasnt feeling well. He joined us 72 hours earlier as an independent journalist and had been in the hospital had been in the country two weeks prior to that. So, my suspicion is that he was infected before we met him. And then he became symptomatic once we met him. We shared a work space. We shared vehicles. We shared equipment. But everyone here is hyper alert. We have not been in close proximity. No one shakes hands. Theres no hugging. So i do believe that our team, while we are being hyper vigilant, we are at very, very, very low risk for becoming ill. And yet youre going to fly out today. Youre monitoring your temperature quite a few times through the day. From my understanding, once you get back to the United States, youre going to self quarantine for up to 21 days . Yes. We are taking this very, very, very cautious were approaching this very cautiously and probably more judiciously than others. We will self quarantine on our own, take our temperature twice a day. If i, we, have a fever, obviously well then get tested. But the norm is because you must come into contact with bodily fluids, vomit, diarrhea, blood, urine or sweat directly, because we have not had that kind of exposure, even though i was in an ebola isolation unit, i was wearing protective gear. I disrobed according to protocol. We have recognized and observed universal precautions here and were going to extend that for 21 days out of courtesy and respect to our colleagues and the United States citizens. That certainly makes sense. Nancy, please wish ashoka mukpo our very best. The reason were doing a phone interview with nancy this morning is because all the camera gear theyve been using to bring this story back to the United States is now being disinfected and cant be used. Nancy, thank you very much. Thank you. Dr. Mitchell levie and diana mukpo are with us now. Thank you both for joining us this morning. Good morning, tamron. Thanks for having us. Good morning. Dr. Levie, let me start with you. I know you spoke with your son on the phone. What can you tell us about his spirits and what he has told you regarding his condition. I just talked to him early this morning. And his spirits seem better today. I think, obviously, he is scared and worried he has been filming whats happening in liberia for two weeks and seeing the death and tragedy and now its really hit home for him. But his spirits are better today. He knows hes going to come home. He knows he just has a couple more days and still his symptoms are fairly mild. Just a mild fever. I was really happy to hear how hes doing, walking around. More cheerful. Tender but cheerful today. Diandiana, as a mother, i ca imagine the worry and stress you are experiencing. What more did he tell you regarding the conditions there and the care he specifically is receiving as he waits a trip back to the u. S. . He is receiving the best care possible that they can offer him, Doctors Without Borders, in monrovia. Sti still, it cant possibly, because of the lack of resources, compare to what will be available to him when he returns to the United States. The enormous anxiety i haves a mother or we share as parents is the delay between now and him leaving on sunday. The state department has been fantastic. Theyve been compassionate. I cannot say how much i appreciate how wonderful the government is being. That doesnt take away from the fact that hes still going to be in liberia until sunday and i can only hope and pray that his symptoms dont worsen. Dr. Levie, when you spoke with your son, you told him how proud you are of him and that he return to that country to expose what was happening, the plight of the thousands who died and the social situation on the ground there. Yes. He spent two years in monrovia working with a Nongovernment Organization and really made a strong connection to the liberian people and he felt strongly when he started to hear what was going on and wanted to go back and see if he could make a difference. I was obviously conflicted as a parent but really proud that he has the integrity and desire to do something good and went back to monrovia. Im happy that he has that kind of integrity and also concern that he put himself in harms way to do that. Dr. Mitchell levie and diana mukpo, thank you so much under these circumstances. They must be so worried. Thank you. Nancy writebol, one of the First Americans to contract ebola, just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how sorry we are to hear the news of the cameraman that has tested positive for ebola. Please know we will be praying for all of you. We are praying god will bring this deadly virus to an end. Obviously, this news spreading quickly. In the meantime, were learning more about why Thomas Duncan, the first person diagnosed with ebola here in the u. S. , was allowed back into the community after going to the community with symptoms that have virus. And some of the people who had contact with duncan now quarantined as a precaution are speaking out. Kate snow is in dallas. Kate, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. At the apartment where duncan had been living, people are under quarantine and now are complaining that theyre sitting inside the very place that he got so desperately ill. Cleaners are expected to show up to that apartment complex to do an intensive sanitization of the place. The hospital late last night finally clarified how it was that duncan went to the e. R. One week ago today and was sent back home. The hospital says when Thomas Eric Duncan came to the e. R. Last friday he had a fever and other symptoms that could have been caused by many things. When asked, the hospital says he told a nurse he had not been around anyone ill. He said the same thing before boarding a plane to leave liberia. He did tell a nurse that he was in liberia. Now disease detectives are on a frontic search to did not and he was check with the people in dallas and obviously as the head of the centers of Disease Control so concerned about the spread of this virus where hot zone basically to come and sanitize the place. Its unclear if the cleaning has happened yet. A food bank sent in a threeday supply of meals, leaving the boxes outside the door. Down the street, also quarantined, the daughter of duncans girlfriend, her husband and four kids, ages 2 to 11. I spoke with her by phone. Her young kids spent a lot of time near duncan last weekend. Maybe they would be like hugging him, maybe he would be kissing. We just pray to god he hasnt spread it to them or us. Reporter his Mother Record this had video message for her son. I want to hug you, for you to hug me, for us to see each other. He really needs help. This is suffering. This is not the way anyone would want to go down in history. Reporter the president , meantime, called the dallas mayor yesterday to make sure they have all the resources they need here. Meantime, back in liberia, the government there says they will prosecute duncan for what they say he said on that questionnaire when he was leaving liberia. They say he lied when he said he had no contact with anyone ill with ebola. Matt . Kate snow in dallas. Kate, thank you very much. Earlier this morning, we talked to dr. Tom frieden and i asked him about why the apartment where Thomas Duncan was staying in wasnt immediately cordoned off and cleaned. The details of that, you would have to refer to the folks in dallas. This is, after all, the first time weve ever had a case of ebola in the u. S. When things removed, thats done safely, that it wont be disposed of in any way that would potentially be a risk. You say we have to check with the people in dallas, but this was a week. And, obviously, as the head of the centers for Disease Control, so concerned about the spread of this virus, is it acceptable that an apartment would be in that condition, a hot zone basically, for a week after that patient left that building . We have had our staff working with the local authorities. We understand that bleach has been used and this is something we expect to get resolved today. It seemed like it took an awful lot of time to have that taken care of. Yes, it does seem that way. Well have more, of course, throughout the morning.

Tamron, good morning to you. This is such an important topic. So many people, men and women, victims of Domestic Violence, one in four women suffering through it, one in seven men are abused by a partner. What if you were walking down the street and saw it happening right in front of you . Would you step in if a man was assaulting a woman . What if it was the other way around, a woman beating up the man . This morning youre about to see a stunning social experiment. A warning here, some of the video is disturbing. You could tell me the truth. Why you talking to that guy last night . A boyfriend and girlfriend arguing on the street and it t gets violent. Listen the crowd speaking up. What they dont know, this boyfriend and girlfriend are just actors with the improv group octv, setting up a social experiment to test reactions. Its ripped from the headlines, tmz sports video of ray rice hitting his wife in the video, causing worldwide outrage but when Solange Knowles hit jayz, people laughed. Even comedy spoofs on tv. Let me tell you once and for all what i think of this man. Reporter so these actors hit the streets and posted their video online. Were doing a Domestic Violence experiment. Im going to be abusing him, hes going to be abusing me and well see who gets more attention. Listen. Listen. Reporter first the guy abusing the girl. Wait. Look at me. Look at me. Im talking to you. Reporter watch how people spring into action. This woman, jumping over bushes to pull them apart. Stop, stop. You dont talk to him. Im not playing. Reporter this man literally tackling the guy on the street. Were filming. Are you all right . Were filming a social experiment. Were just raising awareness. Reporter every time they ran the scenario, bystanders ran over to help. Then you switched it up and you were assaulting him . Yes. Reporter were you surprised by the reaction . Astounded. Reporter shes going to town on him. Watch acres very different reaction. This guy in the red hat is taking video. Some are even laughing. This guy walks over and joins in, slapping the man. Im getting goosebumps watching it. Reporter we showed the video to katie ray jones, ceo of the national Domestic Violence hotline. Its really heartbreaking to see that there could be a man on the street suffering and no one offers to help. Reporter we do have ta double standard in society, right . We see a woman in help, we want to jump in and help her. When men reach out to us, they often say they tried to reach out to someone or coworkers knew and they were told to put their wife in check. No matter who the victim is, Domestic Violence is not okay. Amazing video. Experts say many victims, men and women, suffer in silence. We have more information about what to do if you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship. Go to today. Com. We also have the phone number for the Domestic Abuse hotline. Somewhere around 20 of Domestic Abuse victims are men. And that number certainly is growing, even in middle and high schools, boys are victims as well. Some of the inaction was disturbing. You like to see that people are willing to put themselves on the line. And the woman who jumped over the fence. A lot of women jumped in, too. That was impressive. Jeff, thank you very much.

I had a predecessor on this show who had a very simple question, bryant gumbel. Why . Why are you doing this . Its my passion. Chicago, the windy city, very alluring to me. A lot of people would think the wire walker doesnt want to go to the windy city. I enjoy the challenges. I enjoy challenging myself. Ive done it since 2 years old. Ive done it since before i was born i mean, before my mom was born. The part of the stunt that willie and i are like, really . Youre going to do this . Two things im adding to up the stakes, walking from one building over 500 foot high across the river to a building thats 650 foot high. So youre going up hill . A 15degree incline. Challenges of weather. Cold quite possibly. My feet slipping. Were working on a special coating on the cable. And then get to the punch line. Then im going to cross over marina city towers and im going to do it blindfolded. Why . You know, again, its about challenging myself. And, hopefully, through challenging myself, inspiring other people to challenge themselves. Not like that. Have you tried this before . Have you walked blindfolded . Ive trained a lot, intensively, actually, but never performed blindfolded. If something goes wrong, do you have to rip that off quickly . I want to make sure that people realize its real. I dont want the magic feel to it, which is my concern on doing this, to be honest, from the beginning. I thought about doing duct tape over my eyes first, theres no way to see. That there is that emergency backup of where im going to have to take it off quick. Natalie will be hosting this event. Praying right along with you, nik.

An american freelance cameraman working with nbc news in liberia has been diagnosed with ebola. Ashoka mukpo began working with dr. Nancy snyderman and her team, covering the ebola outbreak. He will be air lifted to the u. S. For treatment. We spoke by phone with dr. Nancy this morning. We shared a work space, vehicles, equipment. But everyone here is hyper alert. We have not been in close proximity. No one shakes hands. Theres no hugging. So, i do believe that our team, while we are being hyper vigilant, we are at very, very, very low risk. And dr. Nancy and her team will be self quarantined once they return to the u. S. For 21 days out of an abundance for caution. The first person diagnosed with ebola in this country remains in serious condition. The hospital treating Thomas Eric Duncan now says he was first sent home with just antibiotics last week because his symptoms could have been caused by a number of things besides ebola and he did not reveal he had been working with an ebola patient in liberia. This morning, matt asked the centers for Disease Control if those who had contact with duncan should be publicly identified. Will you release the names of the people who have been identified by those contact tracers . Absolutely not. We release information to protect the public. At times we release patient names or other things if we have to tell people they may have been in contact. But none of these contacts are sick. None of them are a risk to anyone else. Meantime, family members and others who had close contact with duncan are quarantined in their apartments. Its being called one of the largest corporate Cyber Attacks ever discovered at a financial institution.

He says google didnt act fast enough to pull the pictures from its websites. Google is responding saying it quickly removed tens of thousands of pictures and closed hundreds of accounts. The company adding this note. The internet is used for many good things. Stealing peoples private photos is not one of them. This is going to get a lot of attention, you Start Talking about 100 million. It might prompt people to take action and prompt celebrities to think twice. In uk theres a law that people who dont want pictures on the internet the right to have them pulled. The fact of the matter is this is stealing, plain and simple. Its an invasion of privacy. Its absolutely outrageous. So, is subway, the sandwich chain, sending women the wrong message about their bodies . Check out their new halloween commercial and then you decide.

Whatever you stay fit for im sorry for laughing. Despite the laughs cant help it. People call this ad sexist and lazy. Subway wants women to stay skinny so they can wear sexy halloween costumes.

Were wrapping up our special pink power series, to start Breast Cancer awareness month. Weve been very proud to have joan lunden as our special correspondent. She joins us again on this friday morning. This time with a little twist. To answer your questions. Carson is in the orange room, along with radiologist dr. Susan drostman to help us out as well. Joan, welcome back. Thank you. Good to be here. Are you ready for this . Weve got a lot of questions. Oh, my gosh. Weve been inundated with people asking questions. A lot of people asked this same question. Elizabeth from facebook asked you mentioned you had a normal mammogram and the problem developed in an ultrasound. Why did you have the ultrasound . Should i ask my doctor to do this as a followup . This is the resounding question. Because i had the new 3d mammogram, which they are great if you have whats called fatty tissue in your breast. But if you have dense fieb fiberous tissue, you need an ultrasound. We have a radiologist in the orange room. Shes great. If its more than 50 dense, you really need to have that ultrasound because they cant read she gave me a great analogy. She said in a snowstorm, you cant see the snowball. And if the snowball is a tumor and its in the midst of all the dense tissue, its literally impossible to see in a mammogram. Thats the analogy. Mammography is the early screening tool but it doesnt do the entire job. It falls short in dense breasts, as you have experienced. So, women who have dense breasts need to be their own advocates. They need to ask for a breast ultrasound. Most radiologists will bring that up. But if they dont, patients need to say, are my breast dense . If thats the case, ultrasound should be our next modeality that that is used. Carson, youre getting more questions . From our chicago affiliate, do you have any advice for women who recently they get the diagnosis, how do you get them from that initial shock and fear to ready to fight . Well, Breast Cancer is a team approach. Theres a radiologist that often makes the diagnosis initially. And then a breast surgeon gets involved and in some cases a medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist. But the most important thing is that patients need to be their own advocates. They need to do some research. Breast cancers are all very different. Breast cancers are not created equal. One persons treatment may be very different from another persons treatment. Be your own advocate. Thats really what makes this such a challenging journey for women. Because youre almost like shot like at meteoric speed from the radiologist on to a Breast Cancer doctor and if you happen to have triple negative like me, where there are no markers, there cant be targeted therapy, you have to do chemotherapy. Then youre sent to the oncologist. And im telling you, you can go to three different doctors, you can get three different opinions and then youre left to make to be your own patient advocate but youre making these decisions and you feel like im not the medical professional. By the way, its also a diagnosis, not only for the patient, but for a family. Oh, absolutely. For an entire family. I know youve had a lot of support. We have a question here we want to read you. Kimberly says im 9 years old and my older sister just got her ears pierced. Dont you think its only fair i get mine done, too . Youre going to switch it up on me . You know who kimberly is . Yes. Thats my daughter, kimberly. I mentioned family. Oh, my gosh. We have your kids, twins kate and max, jack and kim plus your soninlaw, evan and your new granddaughter. Oh, my gosh this is team lunden in many ways. This is definitely team lunden and sarah, who works with me, and my lindsay who works with me, shes on Maternity Leave right now because she and evan just had stand over here. Had little parker, who is 1monthold. Front and center. And jamie, lindsay and sarah, they grew up with me kind of in the land of television. And now were all this is the joy, you know. Theres you have to live in the moment. You cant be afraid of what youre going through, because you cant forget to enjoy the joy thats happening in your life. Sarah, mom is going through this, not only as a personal diagnosis, but in a public way. Shes a public figure. Yeah. Has that changed the way you, as a family, have dealt with this . Yeah. Weve all grown up, really, with our mom in the public eye. And to see her go through this with such strength and bravery, i think that we can really all learn something from that and take a page from her book as we fight our own battles in life. We are so thrilled to have all of you here. And youre waiting a few years for your pierced ears, sweetheart. Thats the bad news. Even though hers are very pretty. Thanks for your grace, joan. Thanks for your candor this whole week. I think youve helped a lot of people. All right, team lunden. We appreciate it. Thank you, matt. And team lunden.

Even the most protective adele fans wont mind once they hear it. Wow listen, you are the queen. We call you that for a reason. Did you ever expect the reaction to that cover that you received .

And i was watching one of her promos, the kids on the school bus were having a wild time with we could have had it all they were going wild.

Youre teaming up with alicia keys as well, covering classics from alicia keys and barbra streisand. We always see people try to sing an Aretha Franklin song. We even heard the president try to do his respect. When Aretha Franklin covers your song, what do you think goes through the mind of even the best artist . Wow arethas going to own my song . Yeah, mmm. They go ooh, ahh, am. Mmm . No. Just do a good job. Songs are made to be enjoyed and more than one person can sing them. Do you feel that way when people cover your songs . Yeah, sure. Especially if i wrote it and published it. Yeah. I love it. You said in an interview that this album i think that you have not felt this good about an album since 1980s jump to it. I think so. What was missing in between . I havent been as excited about a cd since jump to it, i think. And the first time i heard my music on the radio, i felt the same kind of excitement. Really . Yeah. What is keeping you so here you are, in your chanel shoes. You had some health delays with this album but whats keeping you so young and fresh .

Now to our special series, our long series were doing the entire nfl season called together we make football. Nbcs josh elliott is traveling the country to see how football has changed the lives of so many people. Good to see you, buddy. Good to see you, tamron. This is a remarkable story, truly remark yab. Its about a young mother named beth steele who, last year at a new England Patriots game in cincinnati had something happen that would change the course of her life. Patriots bengals in town october 6th. Tj invited his best friend to come out. And bought a ticket for him. Due to commitments on his end, getting engaged, change of plans on his side. I was able to step in. So the ticket didnt go to waste. Going to that game ended up being what saved my life. Last october, beth steele was settling in for a day of football with her husband when a certain color caught her eye. We went into the game. Noticed the pink sneakers, noticed the pink quarterback towel. I thought of that as a marketing scheme, but something about all the pink, it did make me go home that night and do a self breast exam. Found a lump. So at the ripe old age of 36 i went in for my first mammogram. The radiologist said, you have massive and aggressive Breast Cancer. You need to be seen immediately. I didnt even check out with the nursing staff. I just walked out, down three flights of stairs where tj was sitting in the minivan, walked around the car so the kids couldnt see me and literally laid on the ground and started sobbing. The surgeon found three tumors and two different types of Breast Cancer. While her life changed in an instant, beth resolved to keep her childrens routines the same. We decided that cancer was not the kids fault. They would not be negatively affect bid this as much as possible. Tumbling has been an important. Make moms do the makeup. It was a way for me to disguise i was not feeling well, showing up at the competition. They would always come up with silly questions about hair loss, how did they glue your boob back on . Appropriate things that were going on in our lives. Beths prognosis is now excellent. And she and her husband returned to boston for the wedding of someone very important to their story. Tjs best friend is getting married. He is the guy who blew us off and let us go to the bengals game. Your story is so inspirational to us, youre going to be the team captain. I never saw myself as a Breast Cancer advocate. Thank you, sir. After what youve already been through, nothing i have also been given an opportunity to educate women of any age that they have a risk. Had the patriots been in town any other month that year i wouldnt have found my Breast Cancer. I wouldnt have survived. Beth is here with tj and her two children. Adelaide and liam. You look like you had a blast at the game. How are you doing now . You look great. Feeling great. Powering through. Almost the end of this battle. Its just wonderful to have you here, to be able to hear this story. You know, i know nfl teams like to give game balls for the big stars of the game. I think its fair to say, youre as big a star as weve got. Tj, i want to let you then do the honors here. Something very special. Yes. Youre mvp. Thank you for making it through this with us. We love you. Thank you. Please thank your friend for bailing on you again. Wonderful thing. Something very special. The little one we saw tumbling through the piece has a Little Something for her mother as well. So, this is a very special surprise that shes going to read. Dear mommy, for the past year, youve carried us, our whole life, family.

Were going to do chicken parm, one of my favorites, eggplant parm, in about half the time it would take normally. Where do we get started . If you would slice some of that egg plant. What were doing here actually, im sorry. Were going to this is one of the basic rules which, of course, ive forgotten. Were going to put some oil in our pans and heat them while we get the food ready. So these go in the oven now . Yep. By the time were ready, were ready to cook because the pans will be hot. We cut eggplant and chicken . Im going to cut this chicken in half because, of course, smaller pieces of things cook more quickly. Thats a principle of fast cooking. Ive sliced some eggplant. Ive sliced some chicken. Weve got sliced tomato. Parmesan, bread crumbs. You can mix those together. Ill get our now hot pans out of the oven. Fine. How are we doing . Doing okay. So weve got our mixture. Put that one here. Do we do layers . We stack the chicken and tomato. You do not put the tomato on the eggplant yet. It takes tlorng cook. Something like this. And then back in the oven. Salt and pepper naturally. We can skip that. Right. Back in the oven. And then five minutes later, lets say, it looks Something Like this. Ill grab yours. Got that . Yes. There you go. And now this is pretty much cooked and we put on our mixture of bread crumbs and cheese. Right on top . Right on top. And some fresh basil. Okay. And then we pop that back in the oven . Just until that browns. And this is what it looks like when its done. How long, start to finish . 20, 25 minutes. And im not kidding excuse me. And its fresh. The bread crumbs are crisp. The tomatoes are not saucy. Theyre beautiful, fresh tomatoes. You can do a cubano type sandwich with this. And the book is filled with all these fast recipes that are delicious. Mark bittman, as always, youve done it. Thank you very much. Thanks, matt. We appreciate it. Aretha franklin performing an incredible cover of rolling in the deep. First this is today on nbc.

Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, Natalie Morales, willie geist and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a friday morning, october 3rd, 2014. Im willie geist, along with Natalie Morales and tamron hall. Our buddy, al, will be back from the big uso trip on monday. We cant wait to get him back. To see his routine and the big show. Were going to see that on tuesday. Yes. Good stuff. This is a huge morning here. Yes. The queen of soul. Amazing. Can you feel shes sticking around. Shes going to hang with us. I know. Were not worthy. We really arent. Were not. Its incredible. She is going to talk to us, sing another song for us. I love the concept on this album, by the way. Songs you already love with her voice put to them. Mixing them with some of her favorite songs. And her aretha flavor. We do have to im going to tell the story. She wont get mad at me. She hates it cold. Aretha franklin hates the cold. Not her thing. You cannot have cold air, nothing. Got to keep the voice thats why her voice is so beautiful after all these years. Finally, natalie and i are happy. Its tropical. Weve been begging for the ac to be turned off. Aretha franklin comes in, says turn off the air. She does a snap. Done. Its done. Feels like were in jamaica. Take your sleeves off, natalie. Were on vacation. Thank you, miss franklin. Well talk to aretha in a few minutes. We absolutely cannot wait for that. We start this morning with ebola. A freelance cameraman working for us at nbc news in liberia has become the latest american to become affected with ebola. Ashoka mukpo started with symptoms a day after he was hired. Dr. Nancy snyderman talks about how close she was working with the cameraman. Once he became symptomatic, we only spent two hours ago. We were working in a work space when he told me he wasnt feeling well. He joined us 72 hours earlier as an independent journalist and had been in the hospital had been in the country two weeks prior to that. So my suspicion is that he was infected before we met him. And then he became symptomatic once we met him. We shared a work space. We shared vehicles. We shared equipment. But everyone here is hyper alert. We have not been in close proximity. No one shakes hands. Theres no hugging. So, i do believe that our team, while we are being hyper vigilant, we are at very, very, very low risk. You know, nancy was on the phone there for that interview because their camera equipment is actually being completely disinfected. So they have no use of that equipment. Dr. Nancy and her team having their temperatures monitored. Theyll travel back to the u. S. Privately, not on a commercial plane. Theyll keep themselves together on a private plane and be under quarantine for 21 days. Out of abundance of caution. Although nancy pointing out theyve not had any symptoms of ebola virus. Thats right. Authorities plan to prosecute Thomas Eric Duncan, the liberia man diagnosed with ebola on dallas. He lied on a questionnaire he filled out before boarding a plane on his journey to texas. It asked if he had cared for any ebola patients or touched anyone who then died. He answered that question, no. When, in fact, he aided a pregnant woman and her family. Yes. She died. Her brother died. And he assisted them at some point in time. Yeah. We now know that. Thats right. So duncan, by the way, remains in serious condition this morning at the hospital in dallas. I was surprised to learn, though, apparently there is no law here in the u. S. Requiring people to report if they have had obviously, most people do it. Its sort of code of moral conduct. You expect if somebody asks you have you been sick, have you traveled to these countries with the whole foot and mouth disease in customs, they ask you. Youre hoping its the honor code that people are checking off that they legitimately are not come in contact with the virus or disease. I was thinking, though, yes, its an honor code. But if you believe youre dying, as was this case im not saying he did the right thing by no stretch of the imagination. You ask yourself here he has been exposed, trying to save someone elses life and is asked at that moment to tell the truth. In the back of his mind perhaps, we dont know, thinking the people that have been treated in the United States have lived. 3,000 people have died in west africa. I mean, is it even an honor code or are you trying to survive . And if youre a parent with children, youre going to want to get out of there as quickly as you can and get them to the right treatment. Its hard to know what you would do in that situation. You know, your heart goes out to his family, who, as well, have been suffering with this, knowing his condition is serious still. At least he has been upgraded somewhat. Theyre doing the best they can at those airports. Its pretty rudimentary to check the fever, ask somebody to check a box and you go on your way. Were going to switch gears. Little bit. Take quite a turn here. Have you had the rite of passage that every parent has experienced at some point in their lives yet, willie . You know what im talking about, right . Lice. Have they visited you . Its going to happen this year. I see it happening this year. It happened to us this last spring. Did you get it . My kids had it pretty bad and every day i came in like i never told our hair people. Im like, my kids have i never told laura. Critters all over your head. I think because when you have product in your hair sometimes they say it sort of protects you from it. Is that right . Anyway the reason we bring this up, Jennifer Garner was on jimmy fallon, guest on the tonight show. She told the cutest story and how ben begged her to go to a party after she put on that smelly, disgusting lice treatment. Take a listen. Your kids had lice . Yes, they did. And it spreads all over the place. Stars are just like us. Did you get lice . We all got lice. No its make meeg itchy just to talk about it. It was years ago. Im totally fine right now. They comb this oil it looks like you put crisco in your hair but you smell like sulphur and rosemary. The first person i see is George Clooney. Of all people. I never met George Clooney and i was kind of like, hes so handsome. Oh, my god so i see him and i walk up to him, chatting with him, trying to act like its cool. Eye chose, you know, whatever to grease my hair. I can see that he smells me, you know. No, this is awful but hes trying to be polite. So, anyway, people keep asking why we werent at georges wedding and we were both working, but i think he didnt want licey there. Shes great. I have to say, the whole interview was really funny. At one point she impersonates her own husband when he says lets go to this party and she does it in her really cute way as every woman likes to impersonate their husband. She said i do it with love. I do it with love. Worth watching if you havent seen it. Speaking of love, whoo, disney has a new wedding cake out. Okay. So, theyre taking wedding cakes to another level. Trust me on this one. The cake that disney has, by the way, theyre using projection mapping, lighting images are projected on to a White Wedding cake. Anything can be projected on to the cake, your face. You could do a love story, a poem, anything you want. And you say, really, anything . Wait until we tell you the price tag. Because you should be able to get anything you want for this. The technology for the cake does exist outside of disney. As we understand it, it starts at guess. Well, we know. I know. You know . 12,000. Its not just for the cake. Its the full disney wedding package. We dont know what that includes. Im sure its the whole experience. Spoon and ice cream. When you start bringing in projectors. Thats a big cake, though. Cakes are expensive, wedding cakes, especially. And thats like ten tiers. The package goes to the cake. They are so expensive. Didnt that mean like you ran out of time to decorate the cake . Its just a white cake at the end of the day. Its a projector. You could put a projector and put up tinkerbell. Magical. Its a long way to go. If you like it, good for you. How about this . Oh, gosh. October is Breast Cancer month. Yes. In honor of that, were launching a charity effort called pink or swim. This is good. Through next friday, october 10th, well have a dunk tank filled with pink water, teamed up with the av on foundation of women. Which of the four of us todays take anchors you want to see dunked. We get water balloons for whatever reason. Raise 10,000 by next friday, a week to do this, the anchor with the most votes gets dunked on Live National television. All the money will go to the avon foundation. Hands up, who here wants to get dunked . Really wants to . Are there people who want to get dunked . I dont mind. I thought you were dunking us already.

Natalie has petitioned no, no, no. Im not petitioning. You just said i would love to do it. I was just saying im not going to say no. Youre up for it. Yeah. Its a great cause. We support the cause. She wants it. Thats not the point. Because tamron doesnt want to. Im using reverse psychology. The princess bride. I have a video for you to see. Everyone knows how long it takes me to get my hair straight. Dont do that to me. We know how cute it looks when its curly. Natalie, youre not helping. This is going to be a fun week. Youre not off the hook. If willie does it, he should do it in a magic mike tank top. Ladies, vote for willie. I think willie really want it is. You know you want to show those aberonies. You would create the biggest splash. Thats an insult. Thats a compliment. We have Something Else we want to tell you about. Its called facebook friday. Take a look at this. If youve ever had an itch that you cannot reach what are we talking about here . One that doesnt require ointment. What . He said it. Take a look at this bear. This is hilarious. It was posted to the Washington Department of fish and wildlifes facebook. Its already been viewed more than 2 million times, according to the departments spokesperson. That is cute. Now we have a challenge for. You i think thats a man in a bear suit. Its a big dude. If you can make us laugh obviously its really easy to make us laugh. Hence the reason we laugh throughout this whole show. Upload a photo or video to our Facebook Page that you believe guarantees that we just wont smile, that we will laugh. Keep it clean, people.

It is about four lost boys of sudan who relocate to the United States just before 9 11 and they see the employment counselor who tries to get them a job. It is a story we should all know, really uplifting. Based in truth . It is based on the events of the lost boys of sudan, but what is interesting about it for me is that even though it is a story we want kids to know, i have reservations about kids seeing it. There is the horrors of war but there is smoking of pot and adult stuff in it. It is what happened in that country. I think an older kid you share that with and expose them to what is going on. What other children had to go through. Having said that, i dont think it is for small kids. Getting great i took my 10yearold and it was a really great experience for the two of us to see this movie together, we talked a little bit before what we were going to see, what was going to happen, prewarn him, but at the end of the movie, so beautiful, it is about a family story, how family supports one another through everything, thick and thin. Educational. Really educational. At the end, my son had tears. We both had tears in our eyes. He said, mommy, it is such a good movie, thank you for taking me. It is important. I dont think a lot of movies have that message. Lets talk about the last one. Huge book. Yes. Alexander the terrible horrible no good day. It looks like it is a cute film. But it is a hilarious film. They made this not just about alexanders bad day, but the whole familys bad day. It was so relatable. My daughter and i laughed so hard. Everyone can go see this. I was with it is a great family film. Whole family will enjoy it. Not just kids have bad days. We all have bad days. I recommend it for everybody. Before we go no sex, no violence, totally clean.

I would get report cards that would say, ana and her friend amy are like laurel and hardy. So i ended up after saturday night live i did quite a few broadway musicals, wicked. You know the soundtrack from wicked, thats one of the most demanding physically roles in the the gravity song. I think it sounds a lot like that, actually. It is incredibly demanding. It was very difficult. But it was fun, fun, fun. And such a great way to make up for lost time vocally and train. I had this jazz act, to wrap that up, like for a while now, for ten years.

It seems like the kind of thing that would happen to amy. She always attracts drama. You can say it. It is just me and you. Just because i dont like to be around amy doesnt mean i dont care about her. Anyway, whoever took her is bound to bring her back. Nice line. Good ones.
