Will be, but they will be happy. In the meantime, today we are going to have a gifforita in honor of my favorite Football Player in the whole world. Frank gifford. Its a salted rim limeade. Theres frank. I think frank was 26 then. Can we go back to that picture one more time . That picture is so handsome of frank. I mean, wow. I know it. He was truly, truly one of the greatest looking men ive ever met. God ever made. Every time i see this picture i say to him when he is standing there, boy, does my timing suck. To which he looks at me and says so does mine. Thats the recipe for a happy marriage, people. Humor. We are in day two of our fun little game show were playing. Were bringing people in from outside and were having them spin the wheel that we have over there, and sair is a is sara is like those people love us out there. You could win some prizes. We got a crazy crowd out here, guys. They cant wait. You know its important. All righty. I know we got you, sara. We dont care if its a small crowd. We just want an enthusiastic one. Were going to choose were going to pick a person later in the chat, and we are excited. I think i might have my eye on somebody. I bet you do. You know what im saying . Shes eyeing you. We do want to shout out to Barbara Walters who is at the age of 83 suffering from what we all consider to be a childhood disease of chickenpox. And shes been hospitalized for more than a week. You heard that probably i guess it was nine days ago she fell down, and there was i think cindy adams said in the New York Post today that she actually she didnt slip, she fainted. We dont know from barbara, but, anyway, while this was all going on, it turns out that she got the chickenpox, which people say is so rare among even people over 60, so its got to be one of those things that is i bet its painful too. If its anything like shingles. We send our love to you, barbara. Listen, this is a woman who rarely falls, if you know what im saying. This is one of the more active human beings. And strong. Strong like bull. She is strong like bull. We have a fun segment coming up, and its called friendfluence. We have a quote. Here it is. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Who are you quoting . You are the average i cant remember but its a quote. Is it anon . No. Think about the five people you spend the most time with. You are the average of them. Some people say, gosh, my friends are so bitchy, and you say, well, thats why thats your group or sometimes youre with people that that exains your attitude is basically what you are saying. You attract whats within you. You do. Friends have a huge influence on how you do what you do, what youre like, and sometimes if you have to criticize a friend, if theres something that your friend is doing thats bothering you and you have to say it, its a hard thing to do if you are a good friend to someone. Thats the whole point. If you are a good friend, you will find a way to say it. In a nice way. We use the term loosely. Too loosely. Friends . Yeah. Same way when you use the word love loosely. You know . Well have a segment on this. Weve all had the kind of friend who is doing the same thing throughout our whole life. Lets say she keeps hitting the same brick wall. Shes dating the same kind of guy over and over and she comes and says, oh, my gosh, im heartbroken, but she keeps doing it and doing it. After awhile you get sick of hearing about it i think. They wont take the advice that theyve asked you for. If you respect me and want my advice and im happy to give it to you, at least try. Dont you know . Um oh, shoot. Ill think of it in a second. My own quote, and i cant remember it. It must have been a good one. If you settle for what you got, you deserve what you get. I have said that many times. Youre settling for this in your life. Youre the only one that can make a choice thats different from the choice you keep making, but you keep settling for what youve go. Therefore, ergo not to be confused with are go you deserve it because you can change things. I think its hard because i surround myself a lot of my friends are they tell me the truth when its an important subject, but i think theyre cheerleaders, and actually in a world where there are lots of critics and people are always saying something, sometimes you need cheerleaders, someone who looks at you and cheers you on and doesnt see the cracks all the time. But a real friend will do both. Will do both. You will never feel whats so funny about that . Cracks. They thought some crack humor. Thats our crew. You want to know theres a whole point. Show me your friends, and you will show me who you are. Thats it. Take a look around. Ive always been grateful that my kids for the most part a few of codys friends in college i wasnt so crazy about. For the most part they choose great friends. Thats really important. Speaking of friendships, the real housewives of Beverly Hills is are they real friends, though . I dont know. Lets watch a clip and see if theyre real friends. You brought up that i brought that up because she is suing me. Hold on. I want to go back because i dont want to go backwards. Because i dont know that you do. Yeah. But its nobodys business anyway. Why are you i agree. Thats the point, yolanda. Shhh. You see, i like yolanda. Shes the voice of reason. I just met her downstairs. She is david fosters relatively new wife. Theyve not been married that long. Shes lovely. Weve known david a long, long time. Never seen him so happy. She is the voice of reason in all that insanity and botox. Not that theres anything wrong with botox. Its fun to watch this show, and were going to speak with both of them coming up and to get their take on things because apparently brandi, the one who was screaming this troublemaker. Was at a book signing yesterday and said something so terrible we cant even say on the air about leann rimes awful out loud. Good thing she didnt say anything terrible about your book. Be grateful for that. I think brandi is coming on our show soon. She has a book out about drunk tweeting. There you go. Sounds nice. Who is this kid . This is a kid from youtube, and its a kid who they say will lift you up, will make you feel inspired. Lets look. What if Michael Jordan had quit. He did quit. No, he retired.

So are you your best friends worst enemy . Carlen is the author of friendfluence. The surprising ways friends make us who we are. Shes here with joyce chang who is cosmopolitans executive editor. Hoda and i disagree on this a little bet. Dont we . I think part of it is we want our friends to cheer us on, but we also want to know the truth, and i think that theres a fine line or do we want to know the truth . Should you tell your friends the truth . Theres a fine line. I mean, the friendships are so powerful, and your words are so powerful, and as a good friend its hard to navigate that balance, but i think its important if you are truly a good friend to say the things that your friend needs to hear, but from the right place. Its how you say it. Its so how you say it. A good friend is supportive most of the time, but shell occasionally have a more difficult conversation with you, which you can really learn from if you are open from it. But dont be cruel. Ask her questions that allow her to sort of talk about herself rather than being blunt. Lets tree tend your friend has a boyfriend who is like all the other boyfriends shes ever had. Just as bad as the last one. Shes crying and telling you, oh, what a terrible thing. What is the right thing for a good friend to say to her . I think a good friend says, you know, i feel like youve been unhappy before in your relationships. Do you think theres a pattern here . Do you think theres a pattern . What is the pattern here . What type of man are you falling for . Is that the right type of person for you . Why do you think youre crying. Why do you think its not working . Make them answer their own questions. Then it sounds like youre interviewing them. Theres a fine line how to do that as well. I think the first time its one kind of a conversation. The tenth time its got to be a different kind of conversation. Just like parenting in a weird way. First time your child does something its a little no, no, no, were not going to do it again, but the time theyve done it a tenth time you have a different conversation. Should you just take some should certain friends be sort of put on the sidelines . Should you she means dumped in a nice way. Break up with friends . Well, i mean, friendship is a twoway street, and you have to be getting something positive from the friendship too, and if your friendship becomes dominated by the same problem over and over again and you have had the conversation and youve tried to get her, you know, to come to a place to realize what she needs to realize in order to get herself out of her own sort of pickle, maybe its time to reconsider, you know, is she really the right kind of friend for you . How much time in your day do you have for this . How do you get out of that, though . A lot of girls have competitive friends like you get your haircut, they get theirs. They like theirs better. You lose five pounds. They lose eight pounds. Whats the right way to navigate that kind of friendship . Sometimes theyre good friends minus that trait. Right. Friends are powerful influence, and you have to realize when its a Bad Influence and when its a good influence. I think you know overall if a friend is supportive and really cares about you versus that friend who is consistently undermining you and not really supporting the core of who you are and your identity. Isnt it true that what goes in comes out . Say youre around a negative person all the time. That negativity is going to seep into you and its just it will. You have to make sure you have plenty of positive friends and maybe have that one friend who is a little negative and she offers something else, so thats okay. Funny. Overall you want positive friends. The flip side of this, speaking of the twoway street, is that you have to be open to criticism from your friends because they can see patterns that you cant see. Let them know its because you love them that youre doing it. Okay, ladies. Thank you for coming on and joining us. They dont like each other at all. All right. They were plucked off the plaza. Oh, they are. Which game are we going to play . Well find out later. Calling all the single ladies. Sara shows us how to get a date for valentines day. I never like valentines day. But when you wake up s, in the middle of the night it can be frustrating. Its hard to turn off and go back to sleep. Intermezzo is the first and only prescription sleep aid approved for use as needed in the middle of the night when you cant get back to sleep. Its an effective sleep medicine you dont take before bedtime. Take it in bed only when you need it and have at least four hours left for sleep. Do not take intermezzo if you have had an allergic reaction to drugs containing zolpidem, such as ambien. Allergic reactions such as shortness of breath or swelling of your tongue or throat may occur and may be fatal. Intermezzo should not be taken if you have taken another sleep medicine at bedtime or in the middle of the night or drank alcohol that day. Do not drive or operate machinery until at least 4 hours after taking intermezzo and youre fully awake. Driving, eating, or engaging in other activities while not fully awake without remembering the event the next day have been reported. Abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations, or confusion. Alcohol or taking other medicines that make you sleepy may increase these risks. In depressed patients, worsening of depression, including risk of suicide, may occur. Intermezzo, like most sleep medicines, has some risk of dependency. Common side effects are headache, nausea, and fatigue. So if you suffer from middleofthenight insomnia, ask your doctor about intermezzo and return to sleep again.

Then the drinks started flowing and things seemed to pick up. So what happens if all three guys like the same girl . Its a text message under the table. Like, rob, got this one.

Can i say that . Im extremely socially awkward, and it works well because you can just play off his weirdness. At least one more, but see what happens. I usually dont turn down a round of drinks. Im probably going to say that water sounds amazing right now and that i wont be out late. Cheers. What happened . It was a fun group. Yeah. It was one of those things. Pharra is definitely going to get to jersey eventually. Maybe not with those guys. I love the idea. It takes the pressure off. I love it. Thanks. That was fun. Who picks up the tab at the end .
