hello, everybody. it is tuesday, or booze day, as it is known around here,
october 26th
. it was a really -- it is a
taylor
-made day for everybody here, wasn't it?
>>
it was a
perfect day
for an outdoor concert.
taylor swift
, hello.
>>
she rocked the plaza.
>>
it was packed.
>>
she is adorabldorable.
>>
can i tell you what i like about her? this is what i like about her.
>>
matty and chloe.
>>
look at the whole gang sing. i love how they know every single word of the new songs.
>>
and then they see it come out today and they know the words.
>>
taylor
packs the house. number two, his dad is with her and he's such a sweet, sweet guy, so nice.
>>
and i got up this morning, there was a text from a certain son of mine out in
los angeles
saying, dear mom, please tell
taylor
she's got a
big fan
on
west coast
and here's his number. i did what my son did, i passed it on to her, so much talk about the
bad boys
in her albums, you know. she writes -- the lyrics are quite provocative about certain men who have gone unnamed and i said, we got to break that -- the
bad boy
habit. she said, i know. call. we'll see, we'll see.
>>
i think she's such a sweet kid, though. 20 years old, right?
>>
should we ask the girls what they thought. they're supposed to be in school, of course, today.
>>
everybody played hooky, by the way. everybody played hooky today and it was fine. did you love?
>>
so good.
>>
taylor
signed stuff for you guys afterwards. what did she sign?
>>
she signed our physics lab.
>>
and what did it say?
>>
please excuse kathy and maddie.
>>
we'll see if that works.
>>
such a gracious kid. now get back to school, go.
>>
i had fun yesterday, i'm busy, busy. the aarp, together with the --
>>
that's my group.
>>
i know. they had this great thing at the west harlem
food bank
, terrific deal, people came out, volunteers handed out food, we had a line of people passing the food from the truck inside. it was one of those really, really great events and they also got a book along with their food. who knew?
>>
hoda, how are you holding up? is everybody asking you that? you're in
cindy adams
' column today, saying you turn around, there's hoda.
>>
no, she said she spent as much time promoting her book as she spent hunting for a husband, maybe she would have a better go. that's what she said.
>>
you didn't have to say it on national television. i have a
book signing
in new york. 8:00 or so.
>>
when does the craziness end?
>>
i was doing yesterday, this is weird, i was packing and cleaning and --
>>
you're about to make a move.
>>
and shredding. here's what i was stuck on. i know 50% of america is divorced. so we all kind of get it. what do you do with all of those
pictures
?
>>
you still have them?
>>
well, yeah. they're in albums. anyway, so i got a shredder from best buy. i don't know what else you do? do you save them all? you save a few.
>>
depends how amicable the split was. in your case, i say shred them.
>>
i was shredding and the motor burns out on the shredders, they're so cheap, seriously. you can only go for like 15
pictures
and then -- but i did save a few. i didn't know what to do with them. do you keep them? what do you do with them? what do people do with their -- what did you do with your old
pictures
?
>>
i don't know. it has been so long, i don't remember.
>>
i don't have space. i can't drag them along with me.
>>
you're not storing them at my house, that's for sure. speaking of lousy sex and who isn't, that's the segue, up to one half of
women
report
sex problems
. but only 10% take any kind of action to resolve it.
>>
most
women
are saying that the sex in their marriage is lousy, but they don't care. they're just -- they're fine.
>>
they don't do anything about it.
>>
they just say that's life.
>>
and what do men say?
>>
i think for
women
the problem in the bedroom is desire. and they say for men the problem is plumbing. so for us it is like we don't really -- you're like, eh. for the guys it a physical thing.
>>
cas, are you still here?
>>
she's gone.
>>
still here. i'm still here.
>>
don't want to hear this next one, cas.
>>
no. this is called the
snuggy
sutra.
>>
we're sorry. we're sorry.
>>
okay.
>>
okay, now you all heard of the -- that other one.
>>
you know the snuggies, the snuggies are out and they have a new way to sell the
snuggy
. it is called the
snuggy
sutra. everyone gets cuddled up. we got the approval to show the
pictures
.
>>
these are the only ones we could show. they're hysterical.
>>
sara is in one. she's in her
snuggy
sutra. the idea is to get cozy and have a in you position.
>>
who would have ever thought you could use arms for other things. it is interesting. they swear it is 100% doable. on the
cold winter
nights, snuggle up.
>>
i guess so. and they said the guys who were trying it out just had some wine and got, you know, got in one of those and did like a twister game, fully clothed to see what would work and what wouldn't. that's too much information and that was really stupid.
>>
do you know the walkman is a done deal now? it is gone. remember your first walkman? who doesn't remember that. it changed the world, right? okay, it --
>>
that's the funeral music. it's dead.
>>
last shipment went to japan where it originally started, right?
>>
i loved when i got the first one, it was so cool you could walk around with your music. i remember what a cool thing it was to --
>>
if you jumped around, the music jumped as well and then you got the one that you could actually exercise in, remember that?
>>
oh, remember from the '70s. or the '80s. the '80s.
>>
220 million of them, i think they had a very, very good run.
>>
they did have a good run.
>>
where would you be without your ipod today?
>>
they keep getting upgraded. every time you get one, remember they were the big clunky ones --
>>
yes, i do. very funny.
>>
they get
smaller and smaller
and smaller now.
>>
why cannot elderly
women
, i don't mean elderly,
middle aged
women
wear long hair anymore?
>>
you wear long hair.
>>
i know. but every day of my life i'm tempted to cut it because i love my hair, but it is not
age appropriate
anymore.
>>
there was an article in "the new york times," people think when they hit a certain age, they should
cut your hair
, oh, you're so and so,
cut your hair
.
>>
who makes up these rules, i ask you, hoda.
>>
there are a lot of
women
in their 50s who wear long hair and wear it well. you, close-up,
kathie lee
, long hair, wear it well, okay. and then
maria shriver
.
>>
maria has one of the greatest heads of hair i've ever seen.
>>
great hair, lots of it, long, good for her. all right. who else?
sophia lauren
. there is maria with long and straighter hair.
sophia lauren
. let's pop up the
pictures
of the people.
cher
.
>>
that's not that long. look at the body on her.
>>
it is long.
>>
she's still showing cleavage too.
>>
look at
cher
.
>>
well,
cher
's going to, you know, she's going to not listen to anybody else's rules.
>>
and then there is jimmy. who makes fabio look look liike a girl.
>>
he wears it better than anyone, doesn't he?
>>
they say it underminds your professional credibility.
>>
it doesn't.
>>
every time i go
cut my hair
, my us is says -- he hates it.
>>
men like it long.
>>
he looked up from something and he looked up from something and said, hi, butch.
>>
when you
cut your hair
?
>>
yes. did not like it.
>>
men love long hair. he don't see why
women
have to cut their hair. i don't understand why people bring it up. it is brought up a lot. they say why doesn't so and so cut her hair, not about you but about other people. they never, ever say it about you.
>>
there are other things in life like drinking and we have some solutions for you. this is very funny. you no he hknow how lazy we are as a nation anyway. now you can use your remote, but it also has got a
bottle opener
right there. you can sit there, don't even have to get up. just open your bottle, crack it open, change your channel. change your channel. you still have to have your woman go get the cold beer, i suppose.
>>
your woman. and even if you're lazier than that, check out jonathan's deal.
>>
something for cody for christmas. look at this.
>>
it is a t-shirt where you --
>>
show us how it works.
>>
a t-shirt with a
bottle opener
on it and you just --
>>
pop it. that's sad. that's really sad.
>>
what do you think? should i send it to cody?
>>
no.
>>
she goes, no.
>>
all righty.
>>
hi, sara.
>>
you're all snugly up. anybody in that with you?
>>
i wish. yeah. okay, so we were asking about the exs
pictures
and lindsey said shred the
pictures
and make new memories. michelle said you put them in a
shoe box
atop your closet. a lot of people say shred, shred, shred.
>>
you're still in the apartment you shared at some point. you're now going to make a huge emotional leap to a brand-new home, right? so make a heart leap as well, hoda. leave the past behind.
>>
i was shredding.
>>
it reminds you of how far you've come when you look back at a picture.
