definitely looking out for you. hello, everyone. merry christmas. i'm andrea tantaros along with with bob beckel. it's 5:00 in new york city. this is "the five." welcome. we are so happy you could join us. many of you are probably drinking eggnog or exchanging gifts with family. we'll exchange gifts in a moment, too. first we want to talk about some of the worst gifts men and women give each other according to the new york post. let's look first at some of the worst presents women give to men. okay. clothing like ties. that's always a popular one.

what else? >> these are ugly, red monstrosities. the worst gift i ever gave a woman was hepatitis. >> oh! >> my gosh. >> well. >> have you ever given any of these gifts? >> certainly. of course i have. what else is there to get guys out of the list? i have never given anyone a

couples mani-pedi, but i'm tempted for bob. onesie pajamas aren't on the list but they are more popular this year than before. >> do you know what else? nose hair trimmer, >> what are ? >> he will? okay. listen. guys, there is no bad gift. if a woman gives you a gift, nose hair trimmer, sweater or tie, it's awesome. >> would you go to the mani-pedi. >> i will go if you go. >> that was a wonderful thing you did for me and put it in the closet. first of all, the mani-pedi, forget it. >> i thought you liked massages. >> i do. but a different kind of place. a cheese tasting course? who would go? >> i would like that. >> really? okay. good. and a watch? first of all, to get you a watch would be $30,000.

can't afford it. and gadgets, you get something nobody uses. anything that looks like a wrench is a gadget. you get things that are european style. millimeters instead of inches. >> one time i gave peter one of the remote volume helicopter fly around thing. that was a good gift. >> how long did it last? a day and a half? >> these are good gifts except for protein powder. a cheese tasting course, i think, would be fun or a cooking class where you can drink when you' cooking. doesn't that sound fun? >> no. and the grooming says you look like hell. >> these all smack of oh self-improvement. if you say, this will help you, it's insulting. nobody wants to be told they need help at christmas. >> or a nose hair trimmer. >> exactly. >> the thing you give them should be fun. a bottle of booze or a sport equipment. it should never take up much room.

if you hate it you don't want to have to look at it. it needs to fit in a drawer. so once you look t at it, you put it away and never again. >> the sports things they give out, i can't tell you the number of times i have gotten sports fan memorabilia from teams i hate. >> really? >> they get it wrong. i i'm a redskins guy. they bring me cowboy crap. >> don't get bob cowboy crap. how about the ten worst holiday presents men get women. i don't see the problem with some of these. but some are bad. a digital pedometer, high end scale. don't buy a woman a scale. that's stupid. vacuum cleaner, toaster oh even. no appliances, men. >> what's wrong with the vacuum? you can use it more. >> that's the problem, bob. i need a tool kit. >> my parents -- >> every time someone comes to my house, hey, do you have a screwdriver. i don't have it. >> i think they're asking you for a drink.

>> santa themed lingerie? what's the problem? . >> i'm all for that. what's wrong with that? >> my parents gave my sister and i tool boxes for christmas. we were so annoyed like what kind of gift is that to give? i used that tool box for years. it had everything you needed in it when a guy was not around. >> great story. >> i'm trying. >> you have given your wife chocolates, the teddy bear, everything on the list here. >> do you know the big, huge life-sized teddy bear? she put it in the back seat for, i don't know, valentine's day. it was there for three months. so she was crazy. don't ever get a woman a diet book. >> that's a great way to break up. >> talk about a quiet night. >> or break up. >> what about this one? cheap jewelry. isn't that the truth? if it turns her finger green, don't get it. >> it doesn't turn green for a

month. >> do you plan on dutching her in a month? >> i'm going to get you stuff for selling the stuff out there. the thing that bothers me here is when they talk about a diet book, i can understand how that's a pro. when it says a teddy bear, how about just a teddy? >> it says that. santa themed lingerie. >> oh. >> one of the worst gifts apparently. >> i would push back on that on the worst list. >> that would be wonderful. wonderful thing to find under the tree. >> let's hope somebody isn't receiving santa themed lingerie in our gift exchange. up first, secret santa time. to eric. >> oh! >> before you open it, we have to the play this sound from earlier in the year. >> i had three years of pictures and videos. three years of great baseball, various vacations and whatnot.

never synched it. never backed it up on a computer. those are gone probably forever. so, parents, very importantly, parents out there, synch the phones. make sure your pictures are on a computer or if someone steals your car. >> your car was stolen, phone went with it. >> right. >> this is something that can help you preserve your memories in the future. >> wow. check it out. this is fantastic. i put my iphone on it and it sinks the photos to the memory. >> and you can print them. it's a printer. >> i like the little handle. >> wow. >> you can take it wherever you want to go. >> that's an awesome gift. thank you. >> nobody prints pictures anymore. >> it depends on the pictures you want the to print from your phone, bob. >> you cannot borrow this. >> don't let him near it. >> who's up?

>> to day that. >> oh, dogs. >> santa paws. >> pretty paper. oh, it will fit the dog. i love it! this is so cute. greg really could fit in this. >> it looks like a leg warmer for a fat person. >> it does. >> there is another gift down there. >> is that for your dog? >> yes. you put the legs through there and like this. american flag, see? that's weird. we got each other. >> freedom has the same one. >> they can get together and be twinsies. >> i see a photo in the future. >> i love it. thank you. >> another one, but we'll find it. >> christmas should last all year. >> ready?

>> bob! from secret santa. >> who is it? >> guess what, it's me. i thought long and hard about what to get you. i feel good about it. i think you'll be happy. >> i will? >> something i can show on television? >> it's heavy. >> okay. >> that's awesome. >> who is it from? >> it's the new paperback of "the joy of hate." that's my book. >> if you haven't bought these yet. >> that's a good one. >> "score card." oh, i missed that one. everybody taking notes? go to amazon and they are all

>> oh, boy. opa! thank you, bob. really terrific. >> well, the greek flag is to put around you when you get in the boxing ring with me. >> that's cute. >> here is the reason why. here are your own greek boxing gloves. you and i have been boxing for seven years. geez, they don't fit your hands. greg, do this. >> at first i thought it said greg. >> you always hit me on the leg. >> i poke you. >> don't drop your flag. this country is in enough trouble as it is. >> okay. gregory. >> ooh, a serious present. >> like something you get in a box. >> how did you know i wanted

paper? i love paper. i love -- >> it's beautiful paper. >> awesome. >> there you go. >> an adam le vine t-shirt. you know i will wear this. >> what does it say on the -- >> i finished second. >> the back is the best part. >> oh, i finished second. >> the original t-shirt -- >> hey, i'm sorry. go ahead. >> the ornlal t-shirt was actually adam le vine basically naked. >> i have that one. >> i figured you had a fitted tee. >> do you see one down there? >> two more. santa just delivered it. >> dana. >> oh, wow. >> can i swap the gutfeld books

jasper's having a last scratch -- and shake. off we went to africa on a more than 6,000 mile journey to be part of the first mercy ship mission to the congo. we flew from new york to germany and gabon and finally to congo. shortly after we arrived peter and i were greeted by the founders of mercy ships. they launched their organization in 1978 to help the forgotten poor. >> i just want to welcome her, thank her for coming. >> over the past 35 years mercy ships visited more than 575 ports in 72 nations. it is the first time to the congo and they will be there for ten months. most people don't have ak sesds to basic medical care and many

haven't ever seen a doctor. on board the floating hospital i met the man who steers the ship, captain tim and took a tour of the bridge. i also met buck, the 180-pound taning and drill exercise dummy. i got a tour of the kitchen by head chef ken hatfield the from north carolina. he and the staff serve from 1200 to 1700 meals a day. when i go home, if i have gained any weight -- >> you can call it mercy hips. >> i can call and complain? >> call it mercy hips instead of mercy ships. >> the entire crew including the doctors and nurses are volunteers. nearly half from the united states. you never know who you may meet including the security team. the ship is in good hands.

with his feet is caused by a problem that's in his brain. so because of that, it is not something that a surgery will be able the to correct. >> reporter: over the next ten months thousands will undergo surgery to remove tumors, have cleft lips repaired. >> one of the most moving things is you show them quickly on when they are waking up, show them their face in a mirror, they are moved that their face that's always caused them shame is now -- they can see it's better, even with the bandages on. >> reporter: there are so many angels aboard the africa mercy like dr. gary parker, or surgeon mark shrine or finance director john wall to name a few. i marvelled at how well they work together and how devoted they are to helping others. a lot of people asked me for my deepest impression from the

week-long trip in the congo. it was a great reminder that kindness is at the heart of humanity. we can learn a lot from the people who make mercy ships possible. that brings back great memories. good news to report, mercy ships signed a contract for a new built, the largest charity ship ever. many of you helped. donations have been pouring in since that rt ro. in order to say thanks peter and i made a donation on behalf of the five. the equivalent of ten surgeries. it will happen within the next ten months. we got a message from the ship. >> on behalf of the crew and all the ships we want to thank the five for their participation and interest in us. we want to wish you a very merry christmas. >> she's so cute. what do you think? >> i love it when people make donations on behalf of me! >> do you? then you don't have to?
