So when we packed up our rav4, i brought this. Turns out my family likes dancing too. The rav4 toyota. Lets go places. Were back now. 8 14 with whats trending today. And why dont we begin with a controversial topic and some controversial comments sure to reignite the debate over working women. Really working parents. This time its coming from one of the most powerful women in business. Her name is indra nooyi. She is the ceo of pepsico. The tackled that hot button question in an interview can women have it all. I dont think women can have it all. I just dont think so. We pretend we have it all. Every day you have to make a decision on whether you are going to be a wife or a mother, but if you ask our daughters, im not sure they will say that ive been a good mom. Stark. And we realize were opening up were reopening a can of worms here. Recently we found ourselves in the middle of this debate. I sat down last week with another top ceo, gms mary barra. And i got an awful lot of criticism for one question in particular. Listen. Youre a mom, i mentioned. Two kids. You said in an interview not long ago that your kids said theyre going to hold you accountable for one job. And that is being a mom. Correct. Given the pressures of this job at general motors, can you do both well . You know, i think i can. I have a great team. Were on the right path. Were doing the right things. Were taking accountability. And also i have a wonderful family, a supportive husband. Im pretty proud of my kids the way theyre supporting me. I got a lot of criticism. I always felt this is not a gender issue. This is a human issue of work and life balance. Its a parenting issue for men and women, moms and fathers. Question i ask myself every single day. But clearly it still touches a nerve. Absolutely. Lets hear more about what indra nooyi had to say. For a working woman, hows it going to work . How do i take off for 9 00 for class coffee . I miss most. My daughter would come home and she would say a list of all the mothers that were there, and you were not there, mom. First few times i would die with guilt. But i developed coping mechanisms. I called the school and said give me a list of mothers who are not there. So when she came home in the evening, shed say you were not there. Id say mrs. Rag wasnt there, mrs. Soandso wasnt there. So im not the only bad mother. I like that strategy. Coping memechanism. Lets bring in working moms who dealt with these issues. Martha stewart and kathie lee. What do you think . I think indra is very, very right that you cant have it all. You can try. And i think you really need to have that backup team at home. If youre on a ceo path, or you are a ceo, you need to have that backup team that really knows how you want your children taken care of. You cant say that about the husband. They cant take care of your husband the way you should be. Thank you for the disclaimer. Kathie lee . I think women can have it all. I really do. I was thinking about this in the car on the way here today. How grateful i am for everything in my life. I dont think you can have it all at the same time. But you can definitely learn to balance things. And i was grateful to have a job, though, that after i had my children, take my children to work with me. And that was a great, great, great blessing. But i then later chose to leave when my children needed me more. You have to decide what kind of joy you want in your life. Do you want trophies on your wall . Do you want your children to grow . I grew up in the 80s where our mom reminded us she gave up a career in radio and doing what she was doing to raise us. It was black and white. Now it seems to be something where maybe you can do it all. I think in each family it has to be a negotiation. In our home the wife and i both work. Im going to come home from filling in the today show and she says its your turn to take care of the daughter for a little while. If you tell them exactly what youre doing, they will respect you and help you get on with your career. I really think so. Indra nooyi says if you ask her daughters whether she was a good mom or not, that she wasnt. I bet not. She also makes a point that the career clock and the biological clock are counterforces and people have to figure out whats important, what you feel is your priority. Based on all the comments and this may seem very selfserving, is it a taboo subject . Why would it be a taboo subject . I was surprised at the reaction you got, matt. Male ceos dont get the question. If a male ceo were to come out and say i am very upset i missed my sons prom and i think my kids will hold that against me. Wed ask that question. Why were you surprised by that backlash . It was something she already said. Matt was asking her about it. You said it very respectfully. I think certain people are just very, very sensitive to it for their own reasons. Ill point out. It was matts sons 13th birthday and he as a working party was there. I was at the interview with mary barra missing my sons 13th birthday. All the working moms over there and working dads, we talk about this all the time. And have for years of how we try to strike this balance. We dont ask men that question. Its also taboo when you ask women the question. Be if you ask the kids, im sure they would feel the same way. Like my dad or mom wasnt there. It depends where they are in their life at the time. Dylan and i dont have children, shes married. I hear you guys talking about being a working parent. Its intimidating, its exciting. You learn if were afraid to have a conversation because were going to guilt each other, how can we have a reasonable exchange of information . Having it all means Different Things to different people. After my daughter was grown up she admitted, mom, you did not have to come home every single night. At the time i was raising alexis, i felt i had to be home for every night. But she said you didnt have to be. You only had to be there when i needed you. So much pressure on ourselves. Hand me the can of worms back, please. People should go online and use the orangeroom. I want to hear what people have to say about it. Ladies, thank you. Thank you. Thats as we head into the Holiday Weekend, you may be thinking about barbecues and bargains. July fourth sales can be one of the best times to shop if you know what to look for. Good morning. Thanks for having me. You think big sales, black friday. But fourth of july we can also score. Fourth of july is becoming one of the biggest Holiday Weekends to shop. Discounts are from 30 to 70 . But youre still in the beginning of the season, so you can buy stuff that you can really wear for the full summer. I love it. We set up a minidepartment store because thats where i like to be outside of work to see some of the deals. Were starting out with sears. This jump suit is killer. I love it. Its so cute. Its 109. Its 40 off so now only 65. A jump suit is a great piece to add to your wardrobe for the summer. Its really polished. Looks great on all different body types. You can switch this belt out and put a different one on. Lets travel to macys. 40 off the jumpers. Is that the usual . It varies. Youre going to see theres going to be good ones ahead. This look is from macys. Theyre both 40 off. This is now under 25 and the shorts under 50. So when you add a bright colored short into your wardrobe, look for something with a color and a texture that makes it look more expensive. Another trip with shorts because im 43 years old, a white blazer with the shorts so you feel age appropriate. Skin on the legs, not the arms. Now it is swim season. The beach and the pool. Is this a good time to buy swim wear . This is the best time to buy swim wear because swim suits are discounted. But theyre not all the sizes are still available. So its a great time to add a swim suit. This suit youre not going to believe the price of this. Its 4. 99 for the top and 11 for the bottom. Its discounted so much. Youre getting the whole bikini for less than 20. People ask me was it nice quality. It is. If you want to do a white swim suit thats more covered, this is a better option. This was originally 80. Now only 32. Fantastic. Just make sure if you get a white suit, look for something with double lining. Now were moving onto shoes and sandals. Good time to find them on sale as well. And the birkenstock is hot this season. It is hot. Today we picked out an espadrille for someone who walks a lot in the city or taking for a beach weekend. These are on sale. These are 68 off. Theyre only 12. 99. You can buy both pairs. And the shoes are 50 off. Only 30. I love the black pair because you can wear it into fall. This is a popular style this season as well. Lets move over to one of the favorites for the ladies. Handbags. Your dress size may change, but your handbag size will never change. This is at bloomingdales. Whats nice at a Big Department store, you can get a buzz worthy brand. We found this pouch by mark jacobs. What was that originally . This was originally 98. Now its only 44. Okay. Pouchs are great to add into your collection. Because you can pack them and then when you switch your work tote for the weekend, just switch the pouch.

Balloons, umbrellas. Make it comfortable. Invite the whole block. And try to coordinate the food. This is a pot luck kind of thing. I love this. You can have one of those. You love this salad for a block party. Is this a kind of pot luck everybody brings something . I think its best to share on a Big Block Party like this. But make sure that you kind of have a little bit of a meeting with all your neighbors. No uncooked food. Because it should be cooked. It should be assembled already when you bring it. Bring enough for the whole block. Got to have the conversation about Food Allergies for certain people as well. Talk to me about the salad. Threebean salad which is always a favorite at picnics. Olive oil, vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper. And yellow string beans, green beans, and canned kidney beans. Look how pretty those are. Koog them in ice water. The ice water helps them retain the color as well. Mix them all together and you have a fantastic bean salad. Just really delicious. Okay. Nice and healthy as well. Dont forget the salt and pepper. This is the table. Wouldnt you like to go to a block party that has all this good stuff . Tacos and corn dogs, the favorite. And these are kind of healthy for us. How can they be healthy . Well, its corn meal batter around a really good beef hot dog. Dip them in potato salad. What do you put in your potato salad to make it different . You can use pickles. You can use sour cream. You can use i always throw a little vemuth on the hot potatoes. Its delicious. You made these individual berry pies. Theyre so pretty all for the fourth of july. Cherry pie, blueberry pie, blackberry pie, a big dollop of whipped cream. You tut the stars out of one pie crust and put them on the other. Youre learning. Thank you. So this is just it. This is a little howto. But you can do that if you want. But i think this is more fun. Dont you . The games are great. Its all about gathering people in your neighborhood. Hey, kids.

Were back now. 8 47 with todays american story with bob dawson. This one begins on a farm pond in indiana and ends where you wont believe. Reporter lonny bedwell never let a handicap handicap him. The man is lights out blind, lives far from fast water. If it gets really windy, i might get a white cap on my pond. Reporter but he decided one day to do something no blind person has ever done. Paddle a kayak the entire length of the colorado river. 226 miles to the grand canyon. Some of the most treacherous rapids in the world. Not much white water near his home in indiana, so lonny practiced in his farm pond. Learning to save himself whenever his kayak rolled over. Guides said hed have to do that a thousand times before theyd allow him down the colorado river. He did it 1500 times. There are two choices in life. Live in pity and go nowhere or just live. Reporter perhaps thats why the blind man volunteers to work as a roofer back home in indiana. Hes blind and on the roof. Yeah, but hes pretty careful. Weve actually had homeowners argue with you they dont believe hes blind. Reporter after all, he can use a power saw. And ski down mountains. The former Navy Petty Officer first class teaches other disabled veterans how to kayak. He served on a submarine, survived a war, only to lose his sight in a hunting accident three years to the day after he left active duty. His best friend tim hale mistakenly shot him in the head. It to this day is still the worst day of my life. Reporter the former marine medic tried to carry lonny through the dense forest. I said tim, ill be dead before you get me out of here. Reporter tim propped him against a fallen tree and ran for help. He told me if i dont make it, tell my kids i love them. Reporter three young daughters. I burnt the vision of my childrens face in my mind. Reporter how you handle loss makes a big difference. Bedwell decided to become more than a victim. The blind man became a beacon guiding tim hale from the darkness of what hed done. He doesnt know, but hes helped me from me just watching him go on. Reporter living life on his own terms. Bedwell refused therapy at a Veterans Hospital for a dozen years until his last was grown. Ny bedwell was once afraid to even mow his lawn. Until his daughter taylor who was five at the time told him she said, daddy, ill help you. I said all right, girl. If youve got the guts, lets try it. Reporter together they cut the grass. That little girl right there, my names still daddy. To that little girl, i can still do anything in this world. Reporter finally with the girls now gone, the single dad had time to do more than dream. A team of disabled veterans guided him down the colorado river. Their voices like fashion horns warned of the danger. Most kayakers have toe see where the rocks are. How do you do it . I told them not to tell me about them. Reporter bedwells blindness was not an excuse. It helped him see more clearly than most. Thats my boy reporter lonnys ride down the colorado put him into the history books. For today, bob dawson, nbc news with an american story a long way from dugger, indiana. He is solid. Gosh. He does more things blind than i do. All of us combined. You talk about not being defined by your disability. That guys done it. Nice. Another feather in bobs cap as well. Nicely done, bob. Thank you very much. Were back in a moment. This is today on nbc.

I need a bite. Reporter is going to the dogs. Dorothy hunt eer owns paws. For for a 30day stretch, shes only eating the organic stuff she sells. Im even doing some canned cat food. This is a succulent chicken and it tastes good. Reporter my, how the kitchen tables have turned. Its better than i thought. Yeah. It actually is. Reporter her goal is to raise awareness about whats on the labels. All the ingredients you can pronounce them and you know what they are. Thats a good sign. I dont think that people really do Pay Attention to the labels. Reporter veteran goes with the fast food for dogs. It lets you know where the ingredients are sourced. He does not recommend people eat pet food. Were not sure of the ingredients. Were not sure of potential contamination. And nutritionally its not necessarily balanced for human nutrition. It tastes like chicken. Reporter Dorothy Hunter says she just wants to shine a light on nutrition. If youre eating it, maybe youll read the ingredients of your own foods. Reporter a message unleashed from a pet lover eating dog food in a dog eat dog world. For today, joe fryer, nbc news, los angeles. Carson said when they bring out food for us to taste, thank goodness they didnt today. Im sure it came up in a meeting around here. Maybe the dogs around the corner are enjoying a filet right now. If it tastes like chicken, theres perfectly good chicken that also tastes like chicken. Yeah. What do you have coming up . We have an exclusive sneak peek of the Jimmi Hendrix biopi.

Welcome to today on a thursday morning. Its july the 3rd, 2014. Fourth of july eve. Great crowd on the plaza. Im willie geist with tamron hall. Al is off. Natalie is making her way back from brazil. A lot of people talking about the weather. A lot of people traveling. If youre on the east coast in popular preparing to hit the roads or airports. Evacuations are underway in parts of North Carolina. Weve got a live picture here of kill devil hills, North Carolina. Dylan, is this the calm before the storm here . Oh, it certainly is. What are the chances . Fourth of july and thats when well see a hurricane hit the outer banks of North Carolina. Everyone on vacation being evacuated. This is a deceiving picture. This looks nice and calm but we are already getting reports of dangerous rip currents in these waters. Because the storm is sitting just off about exactly 345 miles southwest of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. But it is starting to churn up the water. You cant see the rip currents. Although we wont see a whole lot of rain and wind into areas like long island, we are still looking at rip currents to be a threat up and down the entire east coast. Because it is such a big Holiday Weekend to spend at the beaches, that is one thing we have to keep in mind. It will stay as a category one storm as it crosses over the outer banks by early friday morning. Then look at how quickly it moves. By 2 00 p. M. Friday, were starting to see some improvements weatherwise. Not so much in the water. Then we have to keep a close eye on nantucket. You could see the effects of this storm. But this whole area right in here, not really going to see a whole lot of wet weather from the storm. Thats going create showers and storms. Fireworks look okay. Ill get into more detail on that in a bit. Well get your full forecast in just a few minutes. Major rain and lightning up in the northeast last night. Check out some of these photographs from new york city. This is a picture of lightning striking. Theres some still images, too, that will blow your mind. Striking 1 world trade and a bunch of other places around new york city. Around the same time hit last night. And thunder that k roed buildings around here. Meantime theres a wildfire now raging near napa wine country. The popular destination for people this weekend. Aaa says about 41 million americans will travel 50 miles or more this weekend. About 85 of people traveling will be hitting the road. Air travel expected to see a slight decrease from last year. A lot of weather and travel out there. What are you going to do . Well be here working tomorrow. Yeah. Then hang out with the family. Grilling. Of course im grilling. Im always grilling. Willie got a new grill, and hes so amped up. I had this whole thing planned last night and then basically a hurricane hit. And i was, like, im going out as soon as no youre not going to stand out with the metal grill with the lightning. She had to tell you . I had my hoot up. It made me so sad. Come on, weather. Hes just getting started. You know what . This story caught our attention yesterday. Hall of famer warren sapp, great football player, hes very vocal. We can honestly say that. Good guy. N. T he is never shy about giv we so he was at a florida sports bar on tuesday and he chose not to leave a tip to his waitress. A copy of his receipt was posted on facebook saying he left no tip on the 69 bill. But he wrote boys dont tip. Warren sapp later went on twitter to explain that his server, the server kept calling him a boy. And he said that boys dont tip. If youre calling me a boy, i dont have to explain. And he explained the service was so bad he left before the world cup soccer game that was supposed to start at 4 00. The server defended her service. Said it was busy. And thats where that little tiff ends. Well, another tipping story also made head loolines. Someone just fell behind us. An ohio waitress was fired on monday after complaining about a bad tip on facebook. Not realizing the tipper was her facebook friend. Her Facebook Post read, if you come to a restaurant and spend 50, dont be a bleep and only leave a 5 tip. Seriously . This is how i make a living. Thats what she said. Texas roadhouse told us she was not fired because of that but because she violated the policy by calling a guest a derogatory name. Two issues here. Both different. But a lot of people have gone onto social media to vent. We see where a waiter or waitress is tipped poorly and they put it on blast. And if youre getting bad service, are you obligated to had tip . Im a notorious overtipper. If the service is not great, ill give a lower tip. If shes rude, hes within his right. Im against the tip shaming thing though. Why are you going on twitter and facebook showing somebodys credit card receipt, showing who they are and shaming them that way . I think what he objected to if you read between the lines, being called boys. She said to that, boys, what are we having today. She said it would have been awkward to say men, what are we having today. They got off to a bad start. And he went on to blame his view of it. It sounds obviously they have different perspectives on this. But the issue of posting that receipt with his credit card information, private information on there not cool. But i am torn. Im like you. I dont want anybody to feel like i mistreated them. I was a waitress. Hardest job i had. But my mom i took her to dinner, this lady was so mean to us. I thought she was beyond rude. And i wrote her a note and said i deliberately not leaving a tip and heres why im doing this. Blah blah blah. And i signed my name. And she added a tip. And we got our credit card bill she added it herself. We had to call the restaurant. And she was fired. And i felt terrible for that, but she doctored the tip. It reaffirmed to me she wasnt a nice person. But you are torn. If you are taking your family out to whatever restaurant, the male is 60 bucks and youve been treated poorly, youre like im splurging and ive got to give you the cash. If theyre rude and confrontational, no tip. If the service is slow or something and maybe its not the servers fault. Yeah. Exactly. And a lot of people will go over and explain, were busy. The kitchen a tied up. Thats an effort. If theyre rude, you dont have to tip. Okay. This clip is going to make you very happy right now. Its just an amazing piece of videotape. Jerry remmy is the longtime famous announcer for the boston red sox. Hes up in the booth with his partner calling the cubs and red sox game. Its a blowout, the cubs up big. Then this happens. The tooth falls out and it leads to a long discussion about what to do with the tooth. The tooth. This is a first. Yeah. Youve lost a lot of stuff during games, but youve never lost a tooth. No. Which tooth is it . Something up front, i hope . Its on the side. You cant see it . Cant see it at all. There it is. Yeah. Thats unbelievable. I think its a cap. I think its a cap is what it is. It looks like it because its got a point. Theres a nail in it. You shouldnt have a nail in your teeth. What . It just fell right out. Can you put it back in . Im not going to put it back in. There it is. Thats jerrys tooth. We dont have enough time in the show to show you they went on and on about should i try to get it back in . Then his partner don came in with a pair of pliers. He was kidding. It was an incredible moment. Meanwhile, theres a baseball game going on. Oh, it was just classic. Why cant that happen here. I want your tooth to come out. What . You would sacrifice my tooth for entertainment . Lets see what i can do. See like the movie hangover. Oh, yeah. With the pliers. Anybody have pliers . Somebody already fell behind us. I dont know what that was. I think you have a better piece of videotape than i just showed. Okay. So politicians we know hold press conferences every day. Some of them get a little emotional, but we may have reached the pinnacle. A japanese politician had a dramatic meltdown yesterday when he was asked about allegations that he misused public money for personal travel. And here it is. [ speaking japanese ] [ screaming ] its like i lost my tooth. Give it back to me youre saying just keep the money. Its not that big a deal. We didnt know shake it off. Keep the money, man. George and lucy is going to do that to you. Dad, why they should have a press conference every night at dinner. Put little microphones in front of them. I love this idea. Dylan has an update for us on the forecast. Lets get a check on it. Todays weather is brought to you by yoplait greek. The yoplait greek tasteoff is on. Its compare etaking the taste yourself. Right now arthur is a hurricane. We are looking at winds up to 80 Miles Per Hour. Warnings in effect in hot pink there. We are going to see conditions deteriorate especially over the water for eastern North Carolina. Right along the coast. Its a category 1 hurricane. By friday at 2 00 a. M. , crosses over Cape Hatteras, but a cold front is going to bring the bad weather to parts of the northeast for friday. It should clear out in time for fireworks. However, areas like massachusetts will see a lot of that rain on friday. So theyve moved their fireworks up to good morning, im meteorologist bill henley. Storms will break for hot and humid conditions during the day today. 90s this afternoon and then late this afternoon, a chance of more severe thunderstorms move through the area and overnight tonight, some heavy rainfall as it moves up the coast. The fourth of july, good news for firework displays and then beautiful weekend weather saturday and sunday and nothing but sunshine and low humidity and then heat returns next week. Have a great day.

Drama between a former hot couple. Zac efron shows fans how to dance. And our sneak peek at the life of a music legend. He shows us how to wiggle. Why didnt you say that . I dont know. Here with ticket to hollywood is editor in chief of showbiz. Com. This first story, a lot of drama apparently behind the scenes of one of my favorite movies the notebook. I know. The director of the movie sat down for an interview for the tenth anniversary of the film. And he revealed ryan gosling and Rachel Mcadams couldnt stand each other. It got so bad they said youll have to bring in a new actress because i cant work with her. A shouting match ensued between them. And somehow they worked it out and they ended up having an offscreen relationship. Im still scratching my head around that one. And their love scenes, their chemistry in that movie, its stunning their behind the scenes were like that. A director would call them out on this ten years later. Its one of those things that he didnt think anybody cared anymore interesting. Lets move to another one. Zac efron wiggling, i guess, in instagram videos. It looks like zac efron and his new pal Michelle Rodriguez have been hanging out in italy. He is technically wiggling. You see him here wiggling to jason derulo. His friends caught it on instagram to share with the world. We havent really seen him dance since his High School Musical days. But he hasnt lost a beat here. And he should be doing more dancing movies now that hes back this is him in another one . Hes on the left this time. You can see Michelle Rodriguez jumping. Theyre having a lot of fun. Fans are definitely getting a treat out of him. He can move. All right. This photo of the week. We showed it moments ago. We did not reveal the face of the person surrounded by dogs. Who is this . This is daniel radcliffe. He was seen in brian park with about a dozen dogs. And harry potter fans do not fret, hes not changing his acting career for a professional dog walker. Basically this is a film for a new judd apatow film called train wreck. Plot is under wraps. The studios dont want to say too much about it. Theyre keeping the mystery for this. It looks like hes really doing a lot of things. Frankenstein. A nptatio lets move to the tweet of the week. This from a Kelsey Grammer. And hes now correcting peoples grammar. Kelsey grammer grammar. Lets give an example here. One guy tweets the movie down per scope is one of my favorite moves. Its a movie i can watch over and over it. I believe it should be its. So he joined twitter. And now hes correcting peoples grammar. It looks like hes having fun doing it. He created a Kelsey Grammer grammar. But interestingly enough this is not the first time he joined twitter. He joined back in 2009 and 2010 and had to announce his divorce with camille. But looks like he has a new purpose with twitter. I think we want to get to the sneak peek of the jimi hendrix b biopic. Lets take a look. Watch out for your ears. I want my music to go inside the soul of a person. For me its colors. I want people to feel the music the same way i see it. Theres so much competition right now. Queen, the who. Do you think youre better than them . He looks the part, doesnt he . So it looks like john ridley is the director.

With a camera not helping. We are going to see a chance of stronger storms today in the northeast. Kind of a rerun of what we saw yesterday especially in new york city where we had crazy lightning and very powerful storms. We could see those storms today from maine down into virginia. And then the middle of the country is nice and quiet today. High pressure is in control. Nice and comfortable in the 70s and 80s. Couple of spotty showers out in the rockies. Then on the fourth of july, want to point out to what we will see a couple of showers in e the morning in the midatlantic. Its not because of arthur. Its because of a cold front moving through. Those should clear out in time for the new york city fireworks. But its in new england where arthur is going to press closer especially friday into early saturday morning. We could see rain through boston into parts of connecticut. The rest of the country is looking really nice for the fourth of july. Again, we should see improvements. But watch out up and down the east coast for the rip currents. Even when its not raining or all that windy, we are going to see the chance of the rip currents. The fireworks forecast for the macys fireworks display, partly cloudy and breezy. We will see rapidly good morning, im meteorologist bill henley. Storms will break for hot and humid conditions during the day today, 90s this afternoon. And then late this afternoon, a chance of more severe thunderstorms rolling through the area and overnight tonight, some heavy rainfall as hurricane arthur moves up the coast. Clearing skies, though, on friday. Infourth of july. Good news for fireworks displays and then beautiful weekend weather saturday and sunday and nothing but sunshine and low humidity and into the 80s. And heat returns next week. Have a great day. And thats your latest forecast. All right, dylan. Thanks a lot. If youre having friends over for the fourth of july, why settle for the traditional hot dog when you can have a spiral one . Here with tips to check out is dayna. Good to see you again. A fourth of july themed drink. Yes. This is a layered drink which is a perfect addition to your weekend barbecue. She has a million subscribers on youtube. Shes very popular. To do this, tamron, if you want to you need three different drinks and they each have different sugar contents. Put the sweetest in first. Pomegranate juice first. Tell me when. Thats good. Then use some sprite. This is a bit tricky. You want to pour it in very slowly so you dont blend the layers. There you go. Pour it down the side a little bit. Slows down the flow of the liquid. Doing it right . Yeah. Put in quite a bit. We get the idea. And then im going to keep going. Go to about half of that. Then the blue stuff . Its a raspberry flavored water with jelly bean food coloring in it. So its got that nice blue color that will make it perfect for the independence theme. Im speeding mine up. If it doesnt look right, i had to speed it up. Then the blue last. Slow as well. Pour it down the side of it. There you go. And if you take the time, it will look like this. Beautiful layers. I get the point. All right. Lets do a little diy crafting. Willies favorite thing to do. This is also from the same Youtube Channel. Were going to make seashell candles. Willie, if you want to take the glue gun and put a little glue on the base of the seashell. Then grab a wick and stick that on. You can also buy wicks that have a bit of a base to them. But you need to keep those up and stick them on. Once you have that, it will come out with Something Like this. With the wick on there. If you want to very carefully take some of the hot wac. What is this exactly . That is hot candle wax. Looks like this. Fill up the seashells with this. And you want to let it sit for about an hour until it is fully hardened. Then you get the gorgeous candles there to put on your table as table decorations. Stupid question. How do you arrive with this . Just take candle wax and melt it down . They actually come in forms like this. You put them in the microwave for a couple minutes. And were kicking up hot dogs. Yes. Apparently weve been drilling them all wrong. This tip comes from the chow tips series on the chow Youtube Channel. They suggest you have to spiral cut your hot dogs. To do this you take your hot dog and skewer it through the center. Wow, wow, wow. There you go. And once you have that, you want to take your knife and hold it at a bit of an angle and cut all the way down to the skewer as you roll the hot dog away from you. And you get this wonderful spiral shape to your hot dog. However clous you put the cuts together is however if you can do this, god bless you. Because i cant. Some people are super creative. Then youve got the spiral dog. Its important to do that. Because that way you can get more surface area to get more meaty goodness. Or just put your hot dog on the grill. And lastly this comes from the polish Youtube Channel that has a number of gurus. This is a cute and inexpensive way to make a chalk board messaging board. A picture frame. You want to paint the glass frame with chalk board paint. Then you can stick it back into this picture frame and you get this beautiful thing where you can write your happy july fourth messages on there. Thank you so much. Full videos on today. Com.

Hi mom. Hi sweety. Try the new dannon oikos greek frozen yogurt. Dannon. How many times has this happened to you . You go to the store to return something and youre confronted by a not so nice employee. There are ways around poor Customer Service. Here to show us a few of them, a consumer reporter for cnbc. Com. Good morning. Lets establish what were talking about first. If you get a bad meal, bad encounter with a waitress, get bumped from a flight. A lot of things people encounter day to day. You have to go in knowing what you want out of the interaction. A lot of people they just get so wrapped up in the fact theyre up happy that they have to think about do you want an apology, do you want a refund. Is there some other recourse to make you happy so you know what to ask for. Before stepping foot in the store, know their return policy and other things about the store . Super important. The best way to avoid getting a bad deal is to think about before you buy which stores have the best Customer Service policies. Theres some known for going above and beyond for it. If youre not sure, theres a great site where they do Monthly Consumer rankings. You can kind of get a sense of this. The policies can be different if youre talking about electronics. Apple has a 14day return policy. Targets is 45. A big difference there depending on what sort of service and policy you might face. Also look into loyalty clubs. If you read the fine print, you get better Customer Service if youre in the club. Always worth it to say im a loyal member. I shop here all the time. A lot are moving towards elites. If you spend 1500 at best buy, youll get double the return policy, up to 30 days to return, and a dedicated Customer Service line. There are other places that also offer that sort of special extra level of Customer Service line to elite members. Is it a good idea to complain on social media whether its bad service at a restaurant or flight delays . Its helpful. But again you want to be targeted. It doesnt really help if you just tweet to the airline. You want to look for the page that is your Customer Service team. You do see a lot of companies that are particularly offering Customer Service on social media, facebook, twitter. And this a separate team than might be handling your phone line. So you need to make sure who youre tweeting. Is that constructive if i put one delta assists. You know them already. I didnt mean to single them out. They all have them. They do.

So shell take her tail and rub it in. They have a musky. She doesnt like her own smell . No. Theyll take flowers and rip it up. Theyll take millipedes and run it all over themselves like off. So how bad is her natural smell if she doesnt like it . Musky. Now she smells like i dont know. That is amazing. Shes kind of like a soupedup raccoon. Come on over. Just kidding. She probably would start rubbing if you wear perfume or cologne or even deodorant, shell stick her head in your armpit to get the smell on her. What do they eat . Anything they can. You can find them in texas now and the thing about these guys, youve got to be very careful. They live in bands, big groups.

At lucky number 15 which is ridicio is us. We were very honored. Thank you, everybody. That was really, really nice. There are a lot of great people who were honored in this. Also a lot of great people that were left off the list. Were sorry for especially here at our network. We want to apologize about that. Diane von furstenburg. Its a little awkward when your boss, the chairman of Nbc Universal news group, is number 33. How is that behind us . Its big news to her. We just figure were only a few away from beyonce. Only 13. Think about it. 13. Were 15. Beyonce is number one. Only 13 people we have to knock off. Its not going to be that difficult. Weve got lena dunham is up there, tina fey and a lot of people. How long can they hold on . The ceo from pepsi really has started restarted a conversation, i guess, because a lot of people its a conversation. Its about can women have it all. She was at an i have an idea festival. She was asked about motherhood. She has two daughters. She says she doesnt believe that women can have it all. I just dont think women can have it all. I just dont think so. We pretend we have it all. We pretend we can have it all. We plan our lives meticulously so we can be decent parents, but if you ask our daughters, im not sure theyll say that ive been a good mom. Im not sure. My daughter will come home, and shell say list off all the mothers that were there, and you were not there, mom. First few times i would die with guilt, but i developed coping mechanisms. I call the school and say give me a list of mothers that are not there. When she came home in the evening, she would say you were not there, you were not there, i would say mrs. So and so wasnt there. Im not the only bad mother. Shes very loveable, by the way. She i remember when the american cancer society, who every year they honor a different person, mother of the year. Many, go t yhono gre. Oldthem,go discussion. Especially women who are trying usyoyomom,youkn to juggle and balance. N interesting every woman is different. I think what are your priorities . I have always felt you know, so fwrafl that i had the kind of job thats part of it. Thats key. I think a woman can have it all, but she cant have it all alone. Right. She has to have a good partner that helps her. She has to have good help that can help her, and she has to have keep yourself grounded. Im just grateful you have to have an attitude of a willingne willingness. To be victorious viktor victoria. It was just such an honor to help me. Jewel where i julie andrews. I know. It was right there. I want that watermelon so much. They asked me to take over for her one day, and i all my dream was to be i want to do broadway, i want to do broadway, and my daughter was 1 years old, and i said my daughter is 1, and shell never be 1 again. You know what she said to me. Kathy lee, i remember when i had to make decisions like that as well, and youll never regret putting your children first, but youll always regret when you dont. I thought it was wise of her. I think youre right. If you have choices, its i think its easier. I think a lot of moms are out there trying to juggle dropping their kid off at daycare and feeling guilty and theyre working on all cylinders, and they dont have, you know they dont have a way to have other people help them, so theyre kind of on their own. I think what is interesting too is there are a lot of we keep talking about helicopter parents that are there for everything. S are overdoing it, and it makes the other parents feel terrible. That is a great point. When i was growing up, my mother and father never came once to school. Ever. I would panic if my parents showed up at my school. All of a sudden a couple of generations later youre a terrible mother iffure not there every day, and youre not if i couldnt be lunch mother one week i said is anybody going to die because im not lunch mother . The pendulum is here with us. Parents didnt show up at anything. Pow the parents are here. Lets bring it back into the middle. Something that makes sense, please. In the middle lane. All right. This is we love william and kate no matter what they do. Theres nothing thats better than a natural reaction. When andy murray got beaten at wimbledon, look at their faces. First of all, look at how reserved the others look. Oh, terrible. Look at kate and william in the front. They are devastated. I think thats what makes them so loveable. I think so too. Theyre not buttoned up. They dont try to look demure. They just are who they are. She looks like somebody who feels like shes got it all, right . One thing she doesnt have is privacy. Right. Everyone has to give up something. What have you given up . Everything youve ever wanted in life now that you have me. What are you talking about . Eye think of my sacrifices in a minute. Lets talk. Its National Watermelon month, and its been its so cold, hoda. Heres the thing, though. Do you like it cubed like this or on the rind . I would definitely go on the rind. Sour jacks watermelon candy surveyed a bunch of people. They say more than 50 spit out the seeds instead of picking them out. Okay. Do you pick or do you spit . Depends on who im with. What if you are all by yourself . If im all by myself i spit. Now, 76 of people like it cold. Some people like it ice cold, and some people like it room temp. What do you like . Ice cold. Ice cold. Dont put salt on it like kyle does. A friend of ours. People put salt on it. How could you do that . This they say that 55 of people like to have it on the rind and not cubed. People put vinegar on their french fries. I love that. You do . You dont love that . No. I dont. Salt spoils it for me. To each his own. We cannot judge. Since its a beach weekend, i decided for my ihoda to do a beach song. What are the chances of me liking this . About 2 . This is its by michael francy, okay . Very kind of easy breezy. Just take a listen. I think youll like it. Its called the sound of sunshine. Here i am waiting for the storm to pass me by thats the sound of sunshine coming down can you pick up on the beat . Yeah.

Well, maybe well play it next week. Maybe well play it. Sharing it . Yes. I would like to hear that. Is it okay for mom to dress sexy around their kids . Heres what we had to say about it. Your body has just made a miracle. Its not about you. Youre right. Heres what i say. Yes, its okay, but why . Why why . Why dont you take the attention off your ta tas and on your kid . Its poetic. I like that. Youve grown up. Whatever. We want were doing a we want you to pick what we are going to cook, so we are making cheese balls. One of kathie lees favorite dishes. Go to klg and hoda. Com. Hoe vote on which kind of cheese balls were going to make. Apparently there are lots of kinds. Olivia munn, happy birthday. Its her birthday. I have a book signing in delaware on saturday.
