Wow, she has lost, like before and after. Wow. She lost all this weight, you can tell a different vibe about her, i think, this year as opposed to lets watch, they kicked it off with a musical number, which is great, i love rock n roll.

Take a break from the boys one second. Hoda, they are going cold. So these are the hot new we hope they are hot. Burger king fries, sat tis fries, we are told, because they have 30 less fat and 20 fewer calories than the classic burger king fries. They are already cold. Doggone it, hoda. 270 calories and 11 grams of fat versus 340 calories in the other ones, 15 grams. All adds up. I took a bite of the old one, always satisfying. This is the old one. These are the new ones, the crinkle ones. Im very confused. Fries are just a vehicle for ketchup for me. You like this better . I cant say i love them better, but if i had a hankering for a french fry and i wanted to try to lose a little weight, it is good. Its good. The crinkly ones delicious. 11 grams of fat instead of 15, right . It all adds up. Now we are talk about the voice. These are good.

We, the new rock n roll stars, and im biggest of them all, im number one rock star on the planet. You read what he said about his fame . About his fame, i got to a point that Michael Jackson did not break down. First of all, on the what is it, exclamation day . I have reached the Glass Ceiling and i have been at it for ten years. On his last album, he said i showed people that i understand how to make perfect my twisted, dark fantasy could be considered to be perfect. That was his last, what, cd. Album. He said jayz is more realized than me. Than i am. I. He said me. I know. Im just saying. More of his dreams and aspirations have come true. I am so frustrated and ive got a Million People telling me why i cant do it. Okay. Heres on kim. He says this she gave me everything, she gave me family, she gave me a support system. She was in a powerful enough situation where she could love me without asking me for money, which is really hard to find. Which is really hard for me to find, he says. Yeah. Now, that part makes sense. Yeah, i guess. No, it does. A couple of friends that are very, very wealthy. Yeah. How do you ever know if somebody truly loves you for you, you know . Unless the person has an equal amount of money, how are you gonna know . How are you gonna know . For sure. I think let somebody else tell you youre terrific.

Good and bad. You got to have that tension. Now, such an authentic feel to this. It really does. Yeah. Did you guys ever want to be firefighters . Think about it . My little kid, cody, wanted to go to the fire house every day. That was his favorite thing. I think its great. Yeah. The city of chicago, they really rally behind us and what were doing. As for me, when i was a kid, i wanted to be an airplane. You wanted to be an airplane . Anything. One of the things that you put on a pedestal, doing ridealongs, yeah, you get kids that tell us about that, you guys went alongside with firemen on actual calls to see what life is really like. We still do we move in, a free place to sleep and a free meal every now and then. Yeah. There when you feed us. What did you guys learn from those guys on the road . Being. To be honest, patience. Theres so much, like, bs runs, they go people forget their meds. Or its a pulse call. They actually have a wait around a long time. Theres certain periods throughout the year when theres like st. Pattys day when theyre very busy. When you know youre going to be busy. In the winter they have calls, people grill in their apartments, like in their bathtub. So, like a charcoal grill and light their apartment on fire. They respond. One of the scenestealers is pouch, the dog. What kind of attention has this dog gotten . Enough to initiate a contest that we have top fire house dog. Across the country, we had submissions from fire houses across the country. Look at that. Oh, my god. How many submissions did you guys have . Hundreds, if not thousands. Yeah. Lots.

Bobby thomas plays stylist to the stars and shows you how she would have dressed them. She has an opinion. Guess who is back . Is it the hussy . Matthew hussy, here to answer your relationship questions. Who are you chatting with now . Erica right now who has a question for us today. Erica, whats your question . So heres my question. Is it a good or a bad idea to stay friends with your exboyfriend . Bad. Oh. Bad. We will be answering that in a few minutes. We already answered it, okay. We have a lot more questions to answer after the your local news. I want a french fry. We are back with more of today on this tuesday. Time for the other view, when we try to get to the bottom of what men are really thinking when it comes to dating. Who better to ask than relationship coach and author of get the guy, matthew hussy. Hello, matthew. So darn cute. Has his own cartoon and everything. He does. We have a question from erica. Erica asked us a question before the break, didnt she . She did. Is it good to stay in touch or friends. Friendly with your ex . My question to erica is who was it that ended it . Erica, can you hear us . I can hear you. Who ended it was it you or him . I would say in this situation, it would probably be me. So in other words staying friends with him isnt helping him. I dont think so. No. So, here is the thing, if you were the one who got rid of the person, being friends isnt helping them. And if they were the one that ended it with you a, being fries isnt helping you. So the answer is no . The answer is until you get to a point where you can genuinely say this is platonic, i dont feel anything and they do too, because really easy to be doing the dumping, you and i should be friends after this. Difference between being friends and being friendly. Yeah, friendly being friendly is one thing. Rarely do you hear the person on the receiving end, who is the one being dumped right now, rarely do you hear that person go, but should we be friends . They are hurting. Until youre happy, there was a great quote that said something, so much easier to forgive when youre happy, when youve moved on. It has to be you and them thats moved on. Hope that was helpful, erica, i would turn around and speak to you but its not possible. Okay. Good luck. Thank you, erica. All right. Who is next . Leah, skype or we have leah, reading this one. Okay, leah says, my fiance doesnt ever want to do anything with me. Wow. Doesnt sound great . No matter how many times i ask or try to plan something, he just wants to sit at home and he blames it on being tired from work. What do i do . Wants to stay home and be with her but not go out. This is any number of issues come down to the way i communicate, right . So she has to first find an emotionally neutral moment to communicate with him. Dont wait until the next time youre really angry that hes not sitting on the sofa and gor you go, see, its happened again. Maybe it is that lowt thing. Low testosterone. Wow, dont read into a situation likes that, we got to investigate. Okay. Go on. She gets to an emotionally neutral moment and says, okay this is how i feel. Firstly, show you empathize and want to help. I know youre tired from work, i know youre busy, is there anything i can do . Third, show what you actually want. Now, dont just make it about going out. Make it about the fact that you want to go out with him. Thats actually going to play to the part of him that feels good, not just im a woman, i wanto go out. But it was exciting when me and you used to go out. Can we get back to it . Never was. Maybe it never was. Who knows. Maybe she should join a Bowling League. But the fourth part of that, she has to then say, okay, this is i mean, a Bowling League . I think bowling is so much fun. She needs to find her fun away from him, he is going to get lonely if shes out bowling every night. Think it through, matthew. He is gonna get lonely if she is out bowling every night . That will go in my next book. The fourth part is give him a minute to change. Dont expect it to change tonight. Dont give him a lifetime but give him a minute. Why . I think thats all we have. Thats it . Brilliant. Thank you, matthew. Coming up, the stars rock their looks on the emmy red carpet, but our girl, bobby, says she can kick it up too. See what you got, coming up after this. I love it how much do you love it . Animation is hot. And i think it makes geicos 20 million drivers message very compelling, very compelling. This is some really strong stuff so you turned me into a cartoon. Lovely. Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Mikes being healthy and chewing like a man. With one a day vitacraves for men. Its a gummy multivitamin with more b vitamins, which help convert food to energy, and help mike do manly things, like wrestle bears and take out the garbage. One a day vitacraves for men. So i cant afford to have germy surfaces. But after one days use, dishcloths can redeposit millions of germs. So ditch your dishcloth and switch to a fresh sheet of bounty duratowel. Look a fresh sheet of bounty duratowel leaves this surface cleaner than a germy dishcloth, as this black light reveals. Its durable, clothlike and its 3 times cleaner. So ditch your dishcloth and switch to bounty duratowel. The durable, clothlike pickerupper. All right. Its time for todays style and we are taking some of the looks you saw on the emmy red carpet from good to so good. Today style editor, bobbie thomas, with small changes that can make a big difference when it comes to the wow factor. You are looking more wow than ever. Fab, fab. Thank you so much. Jump right in. So fun. Wave my fashion wand over. Connie briton and elizabeth moss. You have both of their dresses. What did you think . I liked the dresses, i wanted to swap them. Thought it would be fun to see connie in something a little more modern and clean so that her hair that all of us women envy great hair. See the swap, you will see that the black and white really allows that to be her accessory and then you will see oh. Right . I love the silhouette on her. Gives her a more balanced frame. I think it looks fresh and youthful. On liz weth elizabeth moss, i love the silhouette on her. Gives her a more balanced frame. I think it looks fresh and youthful. On elizabeth moss, see the vintage look a gatsby, the haircut balances the vintage feel and i felt it was fun. Who made the black and white one . Gosh. The one, not armani is it . I had it in the notes. Total brain fart. That was a cool idea. I like it, especially on connies frame. Lets move on to kaley cuoco. On her, shes wearing a vera wang. What i just didnt love was the horizontal line that the halter had on her frame because she is such a beautiful girl. What i wanted to do was extend the top to give her a Little Something different on the net neck line to better balance. This balances when you see the dress as a whole. If you have strong shoulders, you want to balance the neckline because that will just make them look wider. Okay. All right. Move on to tina fey. Tina. Now, this was good, i love tina, i thought this was such a wow dress. The only thing i wanted to do was accessorize, to have fun. So when you see the after, not loving these i love the statement drop pendant because its a really flattering illusion, it gives you a line, and i thought it just added the sort of glamorous, edgy touch at the same time. And so, i dont know, just something different, i gave her a little bit of a different bracelet, too. Funny how one thing elongates. Rodriguez such a master of tailoring. Make that for her, do you think . He probably did nip and tuck it perfectly. Carrie underwood. I want to go to the after so you can see the side by side. I didnt like the volume. I think too much. I wanted to see something sexier, she is a hot, young girl. I thought this was the same idea with the black belt, but just to take the volume down and show off those great legs. Yeah. Young, got that body. Kerry washington is the last one . For me, personally, a taste, a style thing. If you like the more romantic, a lot of people love this dress. I couldnt help but want to maybe see her in something a little more fashion forward because she is fashion forward. So, i picked this really fantastic jumpsuit that had the rhinestones up in the top and i dont know, i just wanted to have this marchesa . Marchesa, very romantic and bridal and she looks so good in these light colors. She wins everybodys awards for fashion. Have you seen scandal olivia pope . I just want you to send me the coats when youre done, done with the show, i want all your coats from olivia popes closet. Such a fashion plate now, i thought she could get away with Something Like this. Really cool. Bobbie, thank you. Thank you, bobster. You know what time it is . No, hoda. What is it . Time to hit the floor. Finally. Leslie is making cocktails. Oh, goody. Thats right. What . Cocktails with wine, you say . Are you serious . Are you sure . Right after.

Inspired by the best feelings in the world. Glade. Sc johnson. A family company. Has motionsense activated by your movement, the more you move the more it protects. Do more. Degree.

Her assistant, bobbie. Im the sous chef. Im going to get you shaking and stirring and lets shake and stir. Talking wine cocktails. Like to get doubleduty out of things. I think if you start out with wine it is booze day tuesday. A great wine, you can do double duty by accessorizing with that. I want you guys grab your cocktail here. Which one, the champagne . I did a sparkling sunrise. Bobbie this is yours. I like that you said accessorize. Starting out with the basic prosecco, rubina prosecco. That is nice. Named this for the nbc sunrise. Basically im using balsamic vinegar. No stop it. Seriously. Balsamic, the sweet kind, just a little touch, a little elder flower liqueur, a tiny bit and topping it off with prosecco, boom, voila, adds earthiness. Delicious. I would have never thought either of those other two things were in there. Very simple. Accessories some more and put bobby to work. Love mint. I can smell that. Grab your white wine glass, ladies. Off the basics, basic black dress and add the accessories now. Bobbie, im going to give you a glass of this. This is the butari musprofero from greece. I love it when with you talk dirty. Its delicious. A little herbal hint, you can use pino grigio, whatever you want. To get the last waning days of heat, you can add a little mint. Very simple. Bobby, take the little mint and you can stir it up, muddle it a little bit, crush t. Crush it. What does that do . Releasing all the aromas of the mint and the basil. Then add a little bit of doesnt look as pretty. Really going to be this one . Then why are we drinking the other one . Then what else goes in here . Then, boom, gonna put a tonic water in it. You can get that, too. This is called the herbal delight. I like that. What do you think . Breakfast. Makes you feel healthy. Herbs. You can eat the herbs. Our final one remember when youre making a wine cocktail, you want to start out with good wine. You dont want to drink bad wine. This is a wonderful shiraz from pen folds, canuga hills. 15. Australian wine, isnt it . Yes, its good. Take a taste of that wine. How do you know in the store what is good wine or not . You trust me. You just buy it and try it. Okay . Then bobbie now youre going to get to work. Make a little fall sangria. You add a little bit of orange juice, i put some berries on the bottom of this and stirred it up. Bobby, poured the whole thing of cogniac in there. Oh, bobby. Ive been trained well. She did the whole thing. I love you, ms. Bobbie. All right. Cheers. Cheers, everybody. Whats your favorite, hoda .
