Bright green light and this sighting over chicago. Were they meteors or Something Else . And taylor swift is not going to shake it off. Why the biggest pop star in the world says shes taking a stand and pulling all her songs this morning from spotify. What this could mean for how all of us buy our music. And good morning, america. Lots to get to this election morning and, robin, you are back from a big night for our friend, michael. Theres the towel. I like the gift you brought back for me. Check this out, guys. Thats all yours, george. Hall of fame ring he got last night. I could fit it around my whole hand. Right here. Look at that thing. Michael, great to see you last night running out between all those former teammates of yours. Congratulations. Thank you, thank you. Your parents were there. I mean, that was a great moment there at halftime. You know what, first of all, thank you, you guys, for coming. Really awesome to have you there and be a part of it. Just to see all my old teammates. And the fans. Then the people you play for, play with, it was the highlight of my life. And you know, everybody gets this. Every other weekend well rotate the ring. All right. Your speech was spoton. Well share a bit of that later. Thank you. Cant wait for that. We are going to begin with this big national election. Your voice, your vote. Lets take a live look at the white house right now. President obama is going to stay home today as millions head to the polls. He is not on the ballot but this election with so much at stake is very much about him and his policies. Abcs jon karl is here. Jon, this vote will shape, could even shake up the president s final two years in office. George, this will go a long way towards defining president obamas last two years in office and while he hasnt been on the ballot this election has seemed like one all about the president. This morning, president obama is playing a starring role in elections across the country. Obamas senator, not yours. Pryor, obama. Reporter in state after state, republicans have painted this election as a referendum on barack obama, prompting even some democrats to run their own ads criticizing the president. Im not barack obama. The administrations policies are simply wrong. Reporter Michelle Nunn from georgia aired this ad to show a photo of her with president obama is not what it seems. But what he doesnt tell you is that it was taken at an event honoring president bush. Reporter the president recently played right into the republican game plan. Im not on the ballot this fall. But make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them. Reporter in race after race republican candidates have made sure everybody saw that. These policies are on the ballot. Reporter the president is unpopular nationally, but even more unpopular in states with Competitive Senate races. You dont agree that the president s been considered politically toxic to many of those democrats running . It wont surprise you to hear that i do not agree with that assessment. I think youd expect him to say that, jon karl. I dont know what else he could say. Youre over at the map right now. What are the key races youll be looking at tonight when we think about this control of the senate which hangs in the balance . Reporter you have 16 states where you could see Party Control change. 13 are held by democrats but if you want to see if republicans get control, here are three states to watch most closely, first of all, colorado. This is a state that went twice for barack obama. Its where he accepted the democratic nomination in 2008. But as you can see the republican cory gardner has a slight edge and a slight edge in the early vote and could win there. Iowa, this is the state that really gave birth to the obama candidacy in 2008 when he beat hillary clinton. You have a race here that is neck and neck. If anything youve seen some momentum on the republican side with joni ernst. If republicans win both of those states, theyll win control of the senate. But there is a wild card here. Kansas. This is a state that is about as republican as they get. They havent defeated a republican senator here since 1932. But look at this. You have an independent, orman, greg orman, who could win this race. And then theres an allout bidding war because he hasnt said whether or not he would caucus with democrats or republicans. He could hold the balance of power on election night. And on top of that, there could be runoffs in louisiana and georgia in december and january. Which means we may not know who will control the senate for awhile. Reporter i think there is a very good chance we will have no idea at the end of the night would will control the senate. Let me bring in matt dowd. You saw from jons piece right there how disillusioned americans are with president obama and how much a factor this was. This is a broader rejection election. I think its an election about how sour the country is. And about both parties. Neither party in the aftermath of this election is going to be embraced by the country. The president for the second midterm in a row for him can win a president ial election usually going away. But for the second midterm, this is a rejection of him and his leadership because he is the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party is likely to lose seats. Thats what its looking like. Lets look ahead a little bit to 2016. A new poll out this morning which Shows Hillary clinton far more popular than her potential republican opponents right now. And in many ways, todays midterm is the starting gun for 2016. I think it will start tonight before the pols close. All these candidates will be in their rooms, potential candidates and i think the biggest question mark in this whole thing is hillary clinton. Democrats will pivot off her and republicans will pivot off her. She is the candidate most popular right now. And i think at that point is that decision she has to make. Everything else falls from there. The dominos fall based on hillary clinton. Okay, matt dowd. Thanks very much. Youll be here and jon karl will be here. Well have our special election hour. Seven hours of breaking news across all our platforms. Primetime special at 10 00 p. M. Right here on abc. Were covering it more deeply than ever before. And youll be right back here tomorrow morning with the latest. A scandal rocking the air force. Two commanders in charge of our Nuclear Missiles have been fired. The military calling it a loss of confidence in their leadership. This is the latest setback for this group of elite officers. Abcs Martha Raddatz is here, has the latest. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. I think people forget that there are 450 nucleartipped missiles across americas plains. I was there last year visiting one of those nuclear facilities. They had real leadership problems then. They have real leadership problems now. Apparently, these two commanders relieved of duty, one for saying to a pregnant air force worker that her career would be negatively affected by pregnancy. And also just some verbal abuse. Theyve had real problems in the past with gambling, drugs, alcohol, and cheating. Theyre trying to clean that up right now. People want to know, are the missiles secure when you have this behavior . One of the things they told me is absolutely this will not affect the security and were thankful for that. Yeah, thats a small thing to be thankful for a big thing to be thankful for. And martha, youre going to be part of our election coverage. You know its election day when martha is here, jon. George. All excited about the evening. We might take a little nap this afternoon. Maybe a little one. Well turn now to that desperate search for a young woman violently abducted off a philadelphia street. You see her forced into a car. The whole scene caught on camera. Abcs reena ninan has the story. Reporter kidnapping on camera. Police say youre watching the chilling moment an unidentified man snatches 22yearold carlesha freelandgaither, off a quiet street in germantown, pennsylvania, just before 10 00 sunday night. And then drags her, kicking and screaming, to his car. Keep watching as the struggle ensues. Carlesha nearly breaks free but then just off camera, her kidnapper manages to shove her into the vehicle. You can see the trunk shaking as police say carlesha struggles, even busting out one of the cars windows. But its not enough. The video ends as the car takes off. Both carlesha and her kidnapper gone without a trace. You can see shes putting up a fight and putting up a heck of a struggle. But hes able to get her into the vehicle. Reporter this morning both police and the fbi are poring over the video and say the abduction appears to be random. Youll see him parking, exiting then walking back up the block and waiting on this young lady as she approaches the intersection there and crosses over, the male, he then follows her. And then he grabs her. Reporter at the scene carleshas glasses and cell phone. Weve learned she moved into the neighborhood just two months ago and was walking home from a party for her godson. The street quiet, but not deserted. You can see one driver pulls up just as carlesha and her kidnapper disappears off frame. A person on foot shows up, too. And Police Say Witnesses have come forward saying they heard carlesha screaming for help. This is a joint effort doing everything that we possibly can to find this young lady. Reporter carleshas devastated father also hanging up flyers and he has a message for that mysterious man. I just want her to come back home safe. I dont care what anybody has to do. Just let my daughter come home. Thats all im asking. Reporter Philadelphia Police are now offering a 10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest or conviction. Police say they are looking for a ford taurus silver or gray with two busted out rear windows on both the driver and passenger side. George . Thanks very much. To amy with todays other top stories. Good morning, everyone. We begin with some unusual sightings lighting up the night sky. Police dashcam in West Virginia caught this bright light, look at that. More than 200 sightings reported across 13 states. Nasa says it was likely a meteor. A similar fireball was seen streaking across the sky over japan monday night, setting social media ablaze with witness accounts. In chicago, however, this light moved slowly across the sky. Nasa says that may have just been a piece of space junk. All right. Lots of different explanations there. You be the judge. Just as millions of americans plan their travel for the holidays, the government is suing Southwest Airlines this morning claiming the airline failed to properly make important safety repairs. Southwest is fighting back. Abcs david kerley joins us now with the details. David, good morning. Reporter amy, as you mentioned it involves 737s which the faa says are improperly repaired. It warned southwest about this, but the airline put the planes back in service anyway. This morning, the government is suing southwest for 12 million, thats the second biggest fine ever against an airline. It was announced this summer but southwest disputes the faa findings and has refused to pay. Now, starting back in 2006, a contractor in everett, washington, was replacing the aluminum skin on 44 jets. But the faa says when the workers put in a sealant and adhesive in the joint they didnt put these rivets in fast enough to ensure a good seal so that moisture wouldnt get in there. Southwest says it is looking forward to defending its record in court against the government. Amy . All right, david kerley, thanks so much. And from planes to cars, the government is investigating whether honda failed to report deaths and injuries resulting from defective air bags made by the Japanese Company takata. 5 million hondas have been recalled. And in north carolina, a group of Good Samaritans jumped into action after a pickup truck crashed into a gas station. Surveillance video capturing the moment the truck sped into the station slammed into a pump and burst into flames. Bystanders rushed in saving the father and son inside. The father had suffered a seizure behind the wheel but is now recovering, thanks to the help of those Good Samaritans. President obama has declared a disaster on hawaiis big island where lava flowing from the kilauea volcano is threatening a small town. The lava is now taking over a swamp, boiling the water. The disaster declaration frees up federal money to protect the town. And finally, a violent felon who escaped from a florida prison has been recaptured. Ronald mccoy was serving life for Armed Robbery but lucky for authorities, mccoy proved worthy of our evergrowing dumb criminal file. After three days on the lam Police Easily spotted him at a gas station. Why, you ask . Because he was still wearing his prison uniform. Oh. Three days later after escaping. Forgot that small detail. Hello . I just escaped from prison, everyone. Okay. Its the new black. Really . Wasnt it like halloween around that time . Maybe they thought it was a costume. We had some smart Police Officers thank god, capturing that dumb criminal. Love the file. All right. Lets move on now to a big battle brewing in the music industry. Taylor swift abruptly pulling Health Care Workers all of her albums from the streaming Service Spotify days after the release of her hot new album 1989. Well, now spotify is working hard to try to win her back and Rebecca Jarvis has our story. We are never ever ever getting back together reporter it looks like taylor swift is never ever getting back together with spotify. The number one streaming service in the world. After swift and her music label abruptly pulled her entire catalog from the service, which has 40 million subscribers. Swift has never seemed a big fan of streaming services writing in the wall street journal last summer that piracy, filesharing, and streaming have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically. And every artist has sandaled this differently. The move sets up a showdown with apple, where swifts music is Still Available on itunes. For her new album 1989 the singer had an exclusive agreement for a trackbytrack release on itunes. And on beats, a streaming service which apple acquired last january. 1989 has had an incredible opening week run, with 1. 3 million copies sold. But swift didnt release 1989 on the service. Insiders speculate swift has always been weary of spotify, initially refusing to release her 2012 album red to the service. Spotify says they hope swift will change her mind and join us on building a new music economy that works for everyone. And from what im hearing this morning, taylor swift isnt the only artist planning to go this exclusive route. Rumor has it beyonces new album will drop november 14th, also exclusively on itunes. And, robin, the thing is, this changes how we listen to music and also can change how we pay for music and what we pay for music most importantly. Stay tuned. Thats for sure, rebecca, thanks very much. To that special night for our guy, Michael Strahan. Number 92 in your program, number 1 in your heart, that man right there.

But well begin this half hour with the new york grandmother accused of trying to hit a hit man to kill her daughters exboyfriend, the father of her grandchild. Police say she put down a partial payment on the job. Abcs Mara Schiavocampo has that story for us. Reporter new york psychotherapist melissa shown shield may seem like your average grandmother but this Morning Police say she is also a criminal. The 57yearold was arrested for, quote, paying another person to commit murder. Allegedly trying to hire an undercover officer posing as a hit man to kill her daughters exboyfriend, ernesto negrio, the father of her grandchild. I believe this was a serious attempt to find somebody to murder an individual. Shonefield who pleaded not guilty invited our crew into her home but wouldnt comment on the case but her daughter alexis tells abc news exclusively that her mom is concerned about keeping her safe from negrio who alex says says mistreated her. She kept telling me it wasnt her fault and loves me. Reporter in Court Documents the undercover officer she allegedly tried to hire says she drove her mini cooper to a walmart parking lot friday morning because she wanted to have negrillo killed. We came to an agreement that the job would be done for 11,000. The officer also claims she made a 5500 down payment in cash. There was exchange of money. Final plans were made. Reporter shonefield is married to a prominent den cyst. Now alexis says they are picture perfect family is being torn apart by these allegations. My mom is the glue in our family, you know. Shes shes the one who makes sure everything is okay. Its hard watching my mom fall apart. She was made to be a monster. Reporter these out on bail and alexis father denies he knew anything about the alleged plot. We reached out to negrillo for comment but did not hear back. Well turn now to a headline making case out of nashville where four former Football Players from vanderbilt are accused of sexually assaulting a female student when she was drunk and unconscious. A jury trial begins in two of the men. Reporter this morning a jury is expected to be seated for this highprofile trial. Two of four former vanderbilt Football Players accused in the alleged Sexual Assault of a young woman in a school dorm. When did you first learn that your athletic scholarship was potentially at risk . When i spoke with coach franklin. Reporter brandon vanden berg and cory beatty, the first to stand trial and facing multiple counts of aggravated rape and sexual battery, both pleading not guilty. I dont see a major problem here. Reporter police say the vic was vandage bergs former girfriend and the most explosive evidence the jury is expected to see, some of what happened was caught on the dorm Surveillance Videos and police say vanden berg took pictures of the Sexual Assault on his cell phone and sent around to friends. I found images of the victim being brutally raped off of your defendants cell phone. Reporter in june of 201 police say vanden berg just 20 years old and his then girlfriend were coming back to Gillette Hall after a night of heavy drinking. Police say the Surveillance Video shows the young man carrying her limp body to vapiden bergs second floor room where three of the men are accused of raping her but vapiden bergs defense Attorney Says that video doesnt tell the full story. Were missing some angles that weve been told we were missing so we want to see where those cameras are and see what people viewed. Reporter defense lawyers for the player say the young men were too drunk to remember what happened that night. If convicted they could spend decades in jail. For Good Morning America, steve osunsami. Dan abrams joins us now. We saw there the two men on trial. Cant remember what happened that night. Apparently the alleged victim cant remember what happened either so how does that impact the case. Youll have different kinds of defenses for these two defendants. But lets start with the fact that the alleged victim here says she doesnt remember anything. Ordinarily that would be a huge hurdle to overcome in a case like this. Except it seeps that in this case they have photographs, they have video. They have testimony of someone who may allege that he helped cover up after the fact and thats going to be the key is going to be their text messages, et cetera, after the fact that are going to be crucial pieces of evidence in this case so you may not even need her testimony. But you say two different defenses . Thats right, because there are two people of four on trial right now. One of them is not even accused of a forcible sexual act. Hes the one who actually had some relationship with this woman and it seeps hes more accused of helping organizing, et cetera, in this but still charged with exactly the same crime. His defense, it seems is going to be i didnt have the intent, i was too drunk, i didnt know what was happening, et cetera. One of the other defendants who is charged with a forcible sexual act, we dont know exactly what the defense is going to be. I would expect its going to be some version of consent. Expect that all the Defense Attorneys are going to be putting the police and prosecutors on trial. You already heard it in that sound bite there where theyre questioning why they didnt get certain evidence, where other evidence is or isnt. But theyre going to have to do more here than just challenge the police and prosecutors. Vanderbilts role could be an issue, as well. The defense is actually saying that when these students were questioned by the vanderbilt authorities that they were coerced into saying things that they wouldnt have ordinarily said so its the reverse here. The defendants saying the university was too tough on us. A lot at play here. Dan abrams, thanks very much. To ginger with the weather. Lets talk freeze, yes, freeze in the southeast. How about we look at places like South Carolina and georgia. South georgia even in that frost advisory this morning but things, they are about to cook and warm up. You know, last weekend columbia, South Carolina, had their first and earliest ever trace of snow. Today into the 70s. Louisville, 67.

I told brad you need to get in there and fight his own fight. Seemingly on the rise, this is the third major fight since april. Some saying the new playoff style format for the sprint cup championship with three rounds of elimination ending in a final fourtype showdown between drivers is changing the culture of the sport making racers drive harder. The drivers in my opinion have never been under more pressure. I think the format is responsible for that. Reporter but more drama on the track could mean an improvement to nascars sagging ratings. As of july according to sports media watch, 15 of 16 sprint cup telecasts saw declining ratings over last year. And for nascar fights like these perhaps adding the drama and also the violence. None of the drivers involved in the fight were speaking on monday about the fight but keselowskis Team Owner Roger Penske is firmly in his corner saying while it was unfortunate brad has my 100 support, lara.

Brandi hitt has the details. Reporter children are cute, but for much of the year, sick. Sniffling sneezing and spreading germs all around the house. We often call children petri dishes because they have a slew of illnesses and if theyre not already sick, then they may be harboring something. Reporter while many socalled kid illnesses are oftentimes no biggie for kids they can sometimes be brutal for adults. Many of these diseases parents may be already immune to. But if you havent had these before and youve been exposed to some of these illnesses, it could really throw the body for a loop. There are four they recommend moms and dads watch out for, the first coxsackievirus, a common virus that causes fevers and blisters in the mouth and Parents Magazine editor got it from her 6monthold son. He was sick for three days. For me it lasted two to three weeks. I was dizzy and nauseous. Reporter next hepa, spreads when food or water contaminated by another infected person. Fifth disease, facial race, congestion and fever and muscle soreness and can show up like allstarlike pain in the hands with so flulike symptoms and the good old chicken pox, both kids and dulls get blisters but adults can become much more ill. With the vaccine there are fewer cases than ever before. One of the best ways to help protect infection is to get vaccinated. Reporter for Good Morning America, brandi hitt, abc news, los angeles. And dr. Rich besser joins us now. Scary stuff there. Thank goodness actually getting these diseases is kind of rare for adults. It is rare and, you know, you dont need to wear a hazmat suit to protect yourself when taking care of your kids. There are simple things you can do to cut down on that risk. Like what are they . For hepatitisa and chicken pox try and reduce the chances your kids get the infection so get them vaccinated fully and on time. If youve never had chicken pox you can get the vaccine. If you travel make sure you get the hepatitisa vaccine. For testifies disease and coxsacki teach them about good hand washing and cover their coughs with the elbow and keeping them home if sick. That way if your friends do that too itll cut down on everyone getting sick. All the commonsense stuff to protect yourself and kid, washing of the hands and covering of the mouth. Everything we know helps them and us. The good news chances are you had it as a kid. Youre not going to get sick. Rich besser, thanks very much. Matthew mcconaughey coming up.

Everyone is trying to distinguish themselves and then theres this. Its called the pavlock. A real product in development. The premise . Experience the electric shock that keeps you on track. Reporter you set a goal in its app. If you dont reach that goal lets say 10,000 steps for the day by 4 30 p. M. , this is what happens. Ah. Yeah, it shocks you. 255 volts of motivation. So as you contemplate the next gadget youll strap to your wrist, i got to get running to avoid another jolt. For Good Morning America, becky worley, abc news, San Francisco. Wow. That is motivation. It shocks you. Incredible. Lets go to ginger with the final check of the weather. How about we start with a big happy birthday. Your name. Vonda. Here visiting in new york. A marathoner. Marathoner over here and right here, congratulations. And it is mild and delicious weather here in new york city ahead of all of that, well, what was cooler and windier. The forecast in the next couple of day, staying mild, not only here in new york but look at some of the numbers for washington, d. C. Stays in the 70s, philadelphia, mid to upper 60s but things change. Big rain coming through wednesday into thursday. I want to leave you the look across the nation because it is a Flash Flood Watch for, again, austin, texas and san antonio this morning. Parts of oklahoma and arkansas good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco with thin clouds and more sunshine and warmer weather and lowtoupper 60s at the coast and 69 to 74 is the afternoon highs around the bay. It will stay warm all seven days all that weather brought to you by car max. These are the pictures, whats so funny. I grabbed your phone that we get. A little beauty of amy, george. Thank you, ginger. Coming up, Matthew Mcconaughey is here. The oscar winner talks about interstellar. Hey, good morning. So great to be sitting next to the one and only Matthew Mcconaughey. Hot on the heels of his oscar and golden globe wins for the dallas buyers club. The man is everywhere. Cover of magazines starring in interstellar which i want to say has gotten terrific reviews, exhilarating being one of the descriptive words. Matthew plays former astronaut turned farmer charged with saving the world. But first he needs to get to the bottom of what teachers are telling his daughter about space exploration. Use of machine. If we dont want a repeat of the excess and wastefulness of the 20th century we need to teach our kids about this planet, not tales of leaving it. Youre one of those useless machines they make is called an mri and if we didnt have any of those left they would have found the cyst in my wifes brain before she died instead of after and then she would have been listen to this because she was always the calmer one. This takes place in the near future and its a space adventure that you call one hell of a ride. Yeah. I mean, we go further into space in this film than ive ever read and surely further than ive ever seen on film. Yeah. You know, i mean from worm holes to black holes to surfing 1600foot waves in a spaceship. And all Jessica Chastain without a green screen. Yeah, no green steen, the director builds all the sets so you dont have to play pretend as much but react to whats happening and thats much more fun and easier as an actor. The movie is epic. Yeah. And yet very intimate and emotional. Thats a lot to try to get in there and christopher nolan, thats what he does. Yeah, i think he did it to the best hes done it yet in this film. This was more personal to him. I mean, at its heart its a father daughter relationship. Its a parent child relationship and how do you say goodbye without a guaranteed return ticket for where youre going which is what happens to my man cooper. And that part everybody will understand. If youre a parent or weve all been children before weve all had those goodbyes and this is to the extremextreme. Watching it i couldnt help but you seemed so connected not only to coop but your feisty daughter murph. You had to be influenced about thinking about your kids. I suppose so. Ive been asked that. I didnt every day think how do i feel about my daughter vita but for a father for four years im sure it had a lot of import on my performance and understanding of it. So many questions about this film. Let me just say its phenomenal, people much it is great and opens this week. We have a lot to talk about because our viewers have written in. Do you mind . Please. They love you, madly. Social media has given us these questions, we are calling this our all right, all right, all rightning round. Trish tweeted whats your Favorite Movie you ever worked on . Oh, well, right now i would say interstellar and youll see why this friday. No, you will. Buckle up. Instagram, stacy, austin, texas, says whats your most treasured Family Tradition and favorite camping spot . Good question. Family tradition, i got to say, we usually get together for christmas for two weeks and go to one of our familys house we pick it out around october and that usually lasts two good weeks. Favorite camping spot . Probably down on the frio river in south texas. Stacy will meet you there. Has having a family changed the role you accept . Probably. Im still not making before interstellar i wasnt really making many that my kids could go see for awhile. Interstellar, they can. But it probably has in ways i dont even know. Yep. And to be continued. Hey, its matthews birthday. So we got you some treats. Great. Can you come on out . Happy birthday, Matthew Mcconaughey. Thank you for the gift of interstellar. It is a ride and a half. Enjoy it. And i have to tell everybody that it opens nationwide on this friday. Didnt we also get him a journal . Isnt there a journal for this man . Tacos and cake. Baby tacos and cake and we do have a journal that goes with that very cool thing you wrote in gq magazine. Every man should have a journal. Thanks to Peter Callahan for the food. Tell us when it opens. This friday, the 7th of november, 2014. Happy birthday, matthew, boom. All right, all right, all righty. Happy birthday, baby. Cheers. These guys shouldve gone to my place, cuz right now, i have two breakfast croissants for just four bucks. Theyre both made with a freshly cracked egg and melting cheese on a buttery, flaky croissant. Try the supreme with bacon and ham, or the sausage. Theyll fill you up for whoa hey what are you doing . You cant make a commercial for your restaurant at my restaurant not if you keep interrupting me, i cant. Oh here we go feeling in my soul hot in cleveland. Its hotter than ever. Last season ended with a serious cliffhanger and so happy to well cam valerie bertinelli, jane leeves and Wendie Malick to tell us what we can look forward to in season 6 and already season 6 . Season 6. When last we left you, your character had multiple yes, not a bad situation to find oneself in. A lot of proposals. Three proposals and so we get to find out who she actually picked this season but i mean if it was up to me id have all of them. Yes. Tim daly its really special. Davey foley. Dave foley makes me laugh. I want everybody to see a clip. In the season premiere you go back to l. A. Yes. I can only imagine. Here it is, hot in cleveland. I hate to admit it but i may be falling in love with l. A. Again. Remember those louboutins i was trying to find in cleveland but said they didnt exist, well, they do exist and now theyre on my feet. And they are killing me. Wait till you hear about this new l. A. X. Ercise fad. You hang upside down like bat. That makes sense. Have you ever seen a fat bat . As a matter of fact, wendie, you have not. Last season you got to celebrate 100th episode. That just had to be quite a moment for everybody. It was it was so surreal to think that we at this stage in our lives are on another show that has legs like that. We always talk about having legs on our show. You have legs on your show. But it is the exception to the rule and we realize we just got very, very lucky, very lucky. I mean between us we must have about a thousand years of television. 175 years of experience among the four of us. The fourth being betty . That other girl. And when you were here last, valerie, you were talking about this is im a huge fan. I watch the show all the time. And the blooper shows, the bloopers. I know, right. We probably have the longest blooper reel of any it keeps getting longer. Do you have a blooper . In honor of betty not being here, here we go. Action. Valerie. Im coughing. I know what action means. So do i but its been so long she does that all the time. Like just off the top of her head shell just come up with something and all of us are like, did she just say that. With her its always double entendres. Nothing too gross. What is the best piece of advice shes given each of you. I think its to show up every day and live your life and find joy and be kind. Gratitude. And keep your sense of humor. Dont sweat the small stuff. Life is just too short. Have a positive attitude to life. She has the most positive attitude of everyone ive ever met. Its sickening. Really annoying. Since you are the hottest cast in television, we have a little show were going to play its hottest in cleveland. So i was told you all have little buzzers. Do they have little buzzers. Walking in. Walking in. Walking in, the buzzer. And put the one reach in. This looks like that one is easy. Oh, very good. Who was the hottest dresser . Betty. Yes, she wears animals all over her. Who has the hottest dance moves . This one over here. She had her leg all the way up lash ooh. A little bit of twerking. You dont have an ass to twerk with. Who has the hottest shoe game . Oh, valerie. Well, in person i do but i valerie has a closet full of insane shoes. But i couldnt wear for eight months because i broke my foot. Very upsetting. The first time i put on louboutins in that episode. Oh, youre just so i know you were just they hurt too. Dont try this at home. Final one, who is the hottest mess . All of us. Except betty, yeah, we really we have our moments. We take it in turns. Yes. But were very low maintenance in real life. This is all an illusion. Really . Yeah. Were all a hot mess. Except you. And lovable, lovable hot mess and as i said its on tvland and it is a hoot. Its just good, good television. Thank you. Thank you. I hope everyone keeps watching it because we love our jobs. When i grow up i want to have hair like yours. Thank you. I can give it to you right now. Thank you. And the guest stars that you have all, hint, hint. The guest stars hey, any time. Yes. Hot in cleveland airs tomorrow night on tvland. My momma is from akron. It makes sense. Well be right back.
