borderline bar and grill celebrating a 21st birthday when the shooting broke out. teylor, sarah and nelly, thank you so much, all three of you, for joining us there this morning. and our hearts go out to you. please know that. i know, nelly, that it was your -- it was your birthday. teylor, can you tell us what you saw when the shots first rang out? >> so, i was on the dance floor dancing and all of a sudden i heard the shots and i heard the shots and i turned around and saw it was an actual person with a gun and i couldn't believe it at first but my initial reaction was to run and take cover. so i took cover. it was -- after the first time, it was silent for five seconds and then i a couple of guys that were next to me got up and started sprinting for the back door. and everyone just yelled run,

he's coming. and so there was at least 50 people that all tried getting up and once and running out the back door. i ended up getting caught on the ground and stumbled over by multiple people. i got hit in the head by a stool that was being picked up to throw through a window until some guy came up behind me and grabbed me and said get up, we have to go. >> just a chaotic scene and everybody doing the best they could in trying to help as many as they could. sarah, i understand that you saw the shooter when he came through the door? >> yes. i was sort of kind of turned that way towards the door and i definitely saw the shooter draw his gun. i dropped to the floor. a friend yelled, "everybody down," and we -- we were hiding behind tables trying to keep

ourself covered and i looked behind me and there was a spark and smoke started coming out and someone told me like that's smoke, that's a smoke bomb so, as soon as we all saw that we jumped up and i don't -- i don't think -- i was able to run out the front door. i ran out the front door, down some stairs, face planted in the parking lot, but i was lucky enough to get out alive. >> yes, you were, and we're thinking of all those that were there including yourselves and those that were killed and the sheriff's deputy who rushed in to try to do what he could. we heard about the bartender that was helping. can you just describe how people were just doing the best that they could to, teylor, in that situation, to help as much as they could? >> so, while we were all dog piled over at the side there were multiple men that got on

their knees and pretty much blocked all of us with their back towards the shooter ready to take a bullet for any single one of us and just the amount of people that made sure everyone got out okay or if they were out they made sure they went around to every single person around them and asked them if they were okay and if they needed a phone to call their family or just in general any way they could help. it was awesome. >> and we know that you still have some friends that are missing. nelly, can anybody tell us about your friends and how you hope to find them? >> so, we had two friends that are missing, cody kaufman and daniel, by the way, they were in there with us. they were by sarah. >> i was hiding with cody. >> and as soon as they got up to run out, they -- we -- >> we all lost each other. we all separated.

>> so we don't know if they were still in there, if they got out. we don't know where they are. >> the three of you, how are you all doing right now? how are you able to hold up after seeing what you saw just moments ago, not long ago? >> it, it -- it does not feel real. it feels -- it's -- i'm in shock. i'm in shock. i'm terrified. i'm horrified at this, but i know i have my good friends with me and -- >> we're glad every one of us is okay. >> yeah. we're just praying from our friends that we haven't heard from but, yeah, it's a traumatizing thing to have been -- even witnessed and you never think it's going to be you until it happens and then like this is the problem with this -- this is real. and it's awful. awful.

>> thank you three so very much. as you said, you're no doubt in shock and please get the care that you need. nelly, sarah, teylor, we hope that your friends are found safe and we appreciate it and we're thinking of you and the country is thinking of you. thank you so much, all three. the best to you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> george. >> how many more times are we going to have to hear that phrase you never think it's going to be you until it happens? this is very, very real. we want to go back to the scene right now. we're joined by the public information officer, garo kuredjian, on the scene there. first of all, officer, our condolences to the loss of your friend, ron helus. he was a man who died a hero. >> thank you, thank you. he was a great man. he was a cop's cop and we miss him. we miss him already and we're in mourning as an agency, we're in mourning as a community. >> what more can you tell us about what you found on the scene?

we know you found a handgun. were there any other weapons on the scene? >> at this point that's all that we have. we're going to be going through a comprehensive search of the nightclub to see if there's any other weapons or if there's any other items that were secreted in there but that's going to take some time to go through. at this point it's a handgun that was discovered. >> there have been some sorts that perhaps he might have thrown a smoke bomb. can you confirm that? >> i can't confirm that. i heard that as well mainly from media outlets but our investigators have not confirmed that. >> and do we have any information at all on the killer and what a possible motive might be? >> at this point we don't. we're going through the process of identifying him. once we do, we will go through -- we're going to search his residence and search any type of social media accounts,

contact his friends, his family, go through all the investigative steps to see what, if anything, was a motivation or if this was just simply a madman who picked tonight to make some sort of sick statement. >> but you do believe he acted alone? >> at this point that's what the investigators are saying, yes. >> well, officer, thank you very much for your time this morning. again, we send our condolences to you and your whole force. >> thank you. >> and you said it, how many times do we have to do this? and you cannot become numb. you cannot become numb to this and how do you make sense of the senseless? >> it's impossible. >> you can't. >> you can't. we'll be following the latest on that story as you can imagine all morning long but now we are going to turn to washington and the firing of attorney general jeff sessions. president trump firing him less than 24 hours after the midterm elections. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. everyone knows this. it was no surprise, no secret

that president trump wanted jeff sessions gone but this one happened so fast, just hours after the midterm elections as you said that it surprised even those in the president's own inner circle. with tears in his eyes jeff sessions waving good-bye at a justice department sendoff, shaking hands with the man replacing him just hours after the attorney general was fired by president trump. his letter spelling it out. dear mr. president, at your request, i am submitting my resignation. sources tell abc news the request didn't come from the president himself but rather his chief of staff, john kelly, in a phone call first thing after election day. the president was asked about sessions' fate shortly before it became public. >> i'd rather answer that at a little bit different time. >> reporter: one of the president's earliest supporters, sessions infuriated his boss by recusing himself from the russia probe two years ago. after that sessions became one of the president's favorite targets.

>> he took the job and then he said i'm going to recuse myself. i said, what kind of a man is this? >> reporter: now leading the justice department, sessions' former chief of staff matt whitaker. the president tweeting, he will serve our country well. whitaker now in charge of the special counsel's probe, an investigation he has publicly criticized. he even mused how an a.g. could end it. >> i could see a scenario where jeff sessions is replaced with a recess appointment and that attorney general doesn't fire bob mueller but he just reduces the budget so low that his investigation grinds to almost a halt. >> reporter: this morning from democrats, outrage. the senate minority leader demanding that whitaker recuse himself. >> it would create a constitutional crisis if this were a prelude to ending or greatly limiting the mueller investigation. >> reporter: the bombshell coming less than two hours after the president ended a combative press conference about the midterms.

president trump going at it with this reporter. >> that's enough. >> reporter: insulting this reporter from japan. >> say hello to shinzo. i don't -- i really don't understand you. >> reporter: yeah, it was quite a pretty surreal event. back to the white house, there are expected to be more staff shakeups to come, both in the west wing and the cabinet, and the president is losing senior aides and cabinet members faster than any president in recent history, george. >> as you say more to come. cecilia vega, thanks very much. let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams for more. matt whitaker in charge of the russia investigation right now but he is going to have to have his appointment reviewed, his participation reviewed by ethics officials. the fact that he has spoken out on the investigation before he had the job and his connections to a witness, sam clovis, is that enough to conflict him out? >> probably not, but it will be certainly in a closer call. remember, he is the acting attorney general right now so he doesn't have to get the full confirmation from the senate,

et cetera. >> 210 days. >> exactly. >> but if you listen to what he said publicly, this was like an audition tape to become president trump's attorney general. everything he has said publicly supports exactly what the president's position has been on the investigation into his own campaign. so this isn't just consistent with positions the president has taken, this is about consistency with the positions the president has taken about the investigation into him. so i think you have to keep it clear that that's what we're talking about here. everything from the meeting with don junior, with the russians, to the scope of this investigation, to whether there should have been a special counsel in the first place, to whether hillary clinton should have been indicted. >> if he wanted to steer, hinder or stop the investigation what could he do? >> he likely is not going to end it but he could hinder it. he could -- as he suggested he could and try to starve it of funds. he could also say no if they want to seek an indictment.

he could say, no, i don't think you should. >> so far the white house says he won't do it. we will watch. dan abrams, thanks very much. >> during the press conference many of the reporters were pressing him about the cabinet changes, about that there were going to be not just cabinet changes -- >> he said he didn't want to go there. >> right. and then soon after, the firing. let's go to ginger now. the coldest air of the season for so many. >> yes, i'm talking about 20 degrees below average. also going to come with snow in a lot of place, missoula, montana, the roads a mess, st. francis, kansas, and now chicago will get it by tomorrow morning. rain on the east coast. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, though, the snowy cities brought to you by starbucks.

before in your life. >> reporter: evers looking for lobsters when out of the blue an 11-foot long great white shark appears and attacks. keane ripping himself from the predator's jaws, struggling to the safety of a nearby kayak. video captured the intense moments rescuers dragged him to shore strapped to a kayak and bleeding badly. keane clinging to life. >> lucky we got him out of the water because i looked back and a shark was behind the kayak. >> reporter: a helicopter airlifting him to a nearby hospital where he underwent five hours of surgery. doctors using roughly a thousand stitches to repair the damage to his body. now, keane was diving for lobsters in water that was about nine feet deep which may seem shallow but not uncommon at all to see sharks in that depth. not uncommon, michael, but i'm still sure it's very shocking for keane. >> yeah, very shocking for keane and we're joined now by keane and his mother ellie, they're here for their first live interview. >> thanks for having us.

>> keane, so happy to see you. you're an incredible and strong young man. you lost half the blood in your body. you were in critical condition. you had a thousand stitches. how are you feeling right now? >> i'm feeling great. it's good to be here. it's just recovery right now. >> and what do you remember from the attack? can you take us through those moments? >> i remember everything from when i got into the water to when they knocked me out for surgery. so i'm going into the water and my buddy is kind of behind me so we start paddling out a little bit and we stop at a couple little rocks and we don't really get anything and then we stop at this one rock that we know will have lobsters so i dive down and i'm trying to get this one lobster. i don't get it so i come back up and then i kind of look around to kind of take in the view because the sun was starting to rise and i noticed the kayak out there, so i dive down and then i don't get the lobster sadly, but as i'm coming up i feel something just tackle me and it

took my mask off and i don't -- at first i don't -- i thought it was noah trying to mess with me and trying to scare me. then i come up and my mask is off. i'm all confused and i look over. my wet suit is all ripped up and blood is starting to go into the water and i look over and i see noah's snorkel still in the water so i know it wasn't noah. and then just by instinct, i just started swimming to that kayak as fast as i can and i'm screaming for help, help, help, shark or, yeah. then i swim to the kayak. i pull myself on and i told the guy we have to get to shore. >> and in a lot of ways you saved yourself. >> yeah. >> you've been in that area before. had you seen sharks there before? >> no, that was my first time. beacons. >> first time there. ellie, i know you were there but you were on the beach and at what point did you know that something happened to keane? >> well, i was actually on a

cliff above the beach and i was on the phone with my husband and the sun was coming up and it was kind of an eerie feeling out there. it's super quiet and i was on the phone and in the background i started hearing probably just the worst screams i've ever heard in my life and i told my husband, i said, can you hold on a second. hold on a second. there's someone screaming, and i stopped to listen and i couldn't tell if it was keane or someone else and my husband actually said to me at that time, he said, oh, it's probably just keane getting eaten by a shark. and i, of course, it was -- he was joking because the chances of it really happening and it was just a few minutes later that i heard the bellowing yells of the men yelling shark, get out of the water, and i just bolted for the beach to find him. i didn't think it was keane but i just wanted to make sure keane was okay. i had no idea that he would be the one that was bitten by the shark.

>> and i got to say, keane, your recovery has been just amazing. you're back in school part time. and, ellie, for you, what has the recovery process been like for keane from your side of this? >> well, it's been a lot of work. it's been life changing for sure, it's constant bandage changing, just getting through all the doctors, trauma therapy, orthopedic surgeons, infectious disease, o.t., you know, i mean, it's just -- it's really rocked our life as we know it. we're getting the new normal. >> you were just worried about him dating now you got to worry about all that stuff as well. but the silver lining to all this, there's been so much support. you had a chance to go to game four of the world series and you met your hero clayton kershaw who is a great guy and what do you want to say to all those people who have reached out and offer support? >> it's been amazing. i never knew that it would be overflowing the way it is. this is one of the most tragic things that our family has gone through.

we're happy keane is alive but we have a long road ahead and we're excited that we have a go fund me that's helped us with the medical bills we weren't prepared for and just the outpouring of our community and, you know, just our really close friends and family. we felt very enveloped in love through all of this. >> and here's the big question, are you going lobster diving again? >> definitely. >> all right, my man. >> we're happy you're here. thank you for being here. we're so happy you're doing well, keane. hopefully we'll see you soon. robin? >> great to see him doing so well. michael, thank you. coming up, a real ufo? you heard me. real ufo, could it be? why some harvard scientists think so. come on back. real ufo, could it be? why some harvard scientists think so. come on back. ♪

cigar-shaped, tall as the empire state building and traveling at 196,000 miles per hour. harvard scientists are now offering a theory, it's alien. >> it's nothing like we've seen before. when you rule out the impossible, whatever remains, as improbable as it is, must be the truth. >> reporter: dubbed oumuamua, or first messenger, it could be artificial, even sent intentionally to earth to probe us. but there's no real evidence, furthering our fascination -- >> look at that thing, dude. >> reporter: -- with unexplained phenomena in the sky. remember that navy pilot's close encounter with a mysterious object? >> it's rotating. >> reporter: and there was this sighting of what pilots described as a 40-foot-long tic tac 100 miles off the coast in 2004. >> i have never seen anything in my life that had the performance, the acceleration -- keep in mind, this thing had no wings. >> reporter: that one was never explained either and alien is

not a legitimate explanation for this one. plenty of experts will tell you that. they will go as far as saying it's insulting to science to actually suggest this is alien. as scientists, you provide a theory, you offer evidence. you don't say, well, you can't prove your theory so this must be a possibility as well and even saying it's clickbait. >> just clickbait? >> it comes in speeds and moves around. pilots have seen other things and then it disappears. you know what i call that, alien. >> if it was alien, we probably would have had it before 7:50 in the show. >> they're going to check us out. >> they rolled down the window, took a peek and they sped off. >> when something beams you up don't call me for help because you don't want to believe it. >> that will be a special report. >> that would be breaking news. >> george, when i got the assignment, you were my first thought, he's going to kill me. coming up, are you feeling sad? we're not. could be the season, though, if you are.

he felt be suffering from the ptsd. >> reporter: authorities say the 28-year-old learned at home with his mother and used his mom's car to drive to the bar in thousand oaks, california, where thousands of students gathered for college student night. >> the shots kept going and going and going. we just heard people say run and we booked it as fast as we could. >> we got multiple people down. we need a lot of ambulances. >> reporter: hundreds of students gathered for college night at the borderline bar and grill in thousand oaks, california, when a gunman burst in just before 11:30. >> i just started hearing these big pops, pop, pop, pop, and the gunman was throwing smoke grenades all over the place. >> reporter: authorities say long was dressed in all black, throwing smoke bombs and began firing into the crowd. people smashing windows with chairs trying to escape. >> you say you have been coming to this bar for years? >> years. >> that you consider other people that go there and the people that work there family?

>> yeah, definitely. there's people here that i've grown up with, went to elementary school with, high school and college with and then people that i met here that i've just become very close with. >> reporter: sheriff's deputies arrived and engaged the suspect in a firefight. one of the deputies killed. >> he was a great man. he was a cop's cop. >> reporter: sergeant helus on the phone with his wife when the call came in. on he said to her, i got to go. handle the call. i love you. >> reporter: this morning, unable to find two of her friends. she spoke with robin roberts. >> we're just praying for our friends that we haven't heard from. it's a traumatizing thing. >> now, authorities saying the shoot did have an extended magazine on his gun. they don't know yet if he reloaded. they're also saying that it appears he shot a security guard first and then the employees to the right.

currently, this is still under investigation and they don't have a motive yet. robin. presidt trump firing attorney general jeff sessions 24 hours after the midterm elections. let's go to our senior justice >> >> reporter: good morning again to you, robin. sessions was one of president trump's regular targets. he hasn't been happy with him since he recused himself from the russia probe two years ago but still this firing caught people even in the president's own inner circle by surprise. it happened just hours after the president held a press conference here where he was asked about sessions' fate. he wouldn't answer that question. not long after that question, though, the resignation letter was made public from jeff sessions and it made it clear this was not his decision. he said, quote, "dear mr. president, at your request, i am submitting my resignation." now, sources tell us that the request didn't come from the president himself. it came rather from his chief of staff, john kelly, in a phone

call to sessions first thing after election day. now, it's sessions' former chief of staff who will take his job, matt whitaker. also that makes him in charge of robert mueller's investigation. and needless to say, democrats are outraged partly because whitaker has publicly criticized the russia probe and some are now demanding, robin, that whitaker recuse himself just like sessions did which we saw outraged president trump. >> and we know it's going to be another busy day for you there, cecilia. thank you so much. coming up, as the days get shorter, nights get longer, how to spot the signs of seasonal affective disorder, something called s.a.d. dr. ashton is here to explain. and lara, what do you have upstairs? >> i'm here with our friends michael symon and tory johnson cooking turkey for the holidays. we also, of course, have "deals & steals." it is thursday, including savings on these great oven mitts, not foam fingers, oven mitts. we'll be right back, everybody. >> high-five.

the behest of his wife, amal. you know the deal. happy wife, happy life. [ laughter ] he's done with two wheels for good. he says following that very scary accident, you guys remember, this summer in italy when he was hit by a car when he was riding a scooter. the bike is actually listed on ebay. right now, the bidding is up to about $26,000. it is a limited edition, has only 25 miles on the odometer. i guess she was already working on that. [ laughter ] it will be signed by clooney himself if you are the buyer. the entire sale, because he does not really need the money, he's giving to charity. it will go to an organization, yeah. [ applause ] it's a beautiful organization. i just looked it up this morning and it's called homes for our troops. it's a charity that builds and donates specially adapted homes for wounded veterans. the bidding ends around this time next week, so check that out. [ applause ] yep, no more two wheels for george.

also in "pop news" this morning, oscar winner emma thompson received britain's highest award on wednesday accepting her damehood which is, of course, the female equivalent of becoming a knight. thompson revealed she has known prince william since he was little and they're such dear friends that, when she received the honor she said i can't kiss you, can i? the future king answered lovingly, no, don't. [ laughter ] that's her story. thompson starred of course in one of the great holiday movies of all time, "love actually." >> "love actually." >> it's the 15th anniversary. >> is it? >> yes. >> how did you know that? >> 15th anniversary -- george, i love "love actually." one of my favorites. >> we all do. >> congratulations to dame emma. she now joins the ranks of dames judi dench, maggie smith and julia andrews among others. [ applause ] >> she was here not too long ago. she is a hoot. >> she is so funny. >> can you imagine when prince

william -- >> oh, yes. >> oh yeah. george, there's a lot of protocol involved. i don't know it but there is protocol. finally, as you guys know, we all just dealt with daylight saving this weekend. imagine not having to set your clocks twice a year, not losing an hour of sleep in the spring, it not getting darker earlier in the fall. well, voters in california can. nearly 60% of their state voted yes that it would spring forward all year long. that would mean darker mornings but sun later into the day and many argue daylight saving is outdated. i learned it was created during world war i to conserve power. the change would mean more daylight later into the evening, that could be a boost to the economy. a negative, it would not get light until almost 8:00 a.m. in the winter in l.a. that's tough. >> nobody wakes up that early in l.a. anyway. [ laughter ] >> good point. >> i disagree.

>> but a minor detail before the golden state feels like they're getting more golden. a federal law would be required before this goes into effect. >> okay. >> do you guys know that the two states that always are daylight savings, arizona -- >> and indiana. indianapolis never changes. >> oh, i didn't know that. >> what do you guys think? would you want it to be daylight savings all year? >> the morning doesn't affect us. >> we get up anyway. >> i always kind of dread the hopping of the clock. i know we're going to talk about that coming up. >> we will. >> all right, so we move on now. >> thank you, lara. we'll move on to that the cover story. hailey baldwin and promoting sales of all sizes and rebecca jarvis is here with the details. >> that's right, today more than half of women aged 18 to 65 in this country wear size 14 plus and it's hard to believe that it's taken so long for retailers to catch on to this novel new idea, show models of different sizes wearing the same look. ♪

>> reporter: model hailey baldwin is the brand-new face of the fresh holiday campaign from online retailer pretty little thing featuring women wearing the exact same outfits side by side. the catch, they're radically different shapes and sizes. the campaign getting praise on twitter. one user writing this is what every clothing website needs. nothing more annoying than seeing something on only a plus size model or only on another model who is petite. and another saying, hopefully this inspires across all brands because we're all here for this movement. >> it's the right step for them to take to be more inclusive and to really show real women wearing their clothes. >> all right. >> reporter: it's the latest twist in an ongoing movement by retailers to shake up how women are represented in fashion by showcasing real bodies. aerie has been a trail blazer using untouched images in their ad campaigns. and rihanna shows how sexy all

body sizes can be in her savage by fenty collection. but it's the side-by-side image of the models that's gotten women talking. asos earlier this year started showing the same outfits on different body types. >> they're not making you go to a different microsite. it gets the exact same real estate on the page that any other size would get. >> reporter: and size inclusion is not just good marketing, it's also good for the bottom line. according to the market research firm the mpd group, clothing sales for curvy women have been growing faster than total apparel sales in the u.s. which is why i expect you'll see more of this. while consumers are comfortable buying electronics, toys, appliances online we are still somewhat hesitant to shop for clothes because it's really hard to tell how they're going to look in person and this helps get rid of some of that uncertainty, robin. >> all right, thank you very much, rebecca.

and now to you to our "gma" health alert. as lara was just talking about we just turned back the clock. are the days getting shorter? yes, they are. are you feeling the winter blues is the question. it could be a medical condition, seasonal affective disorder, known as s.a.d., and dr. jen ashton is here with more. >> good morning. >> tell us what this is. >> first of all, it has a pr problem, robin, this is a real thing. this is not fluff. it is legit. it has a lot of mood features that overlap with those of major depression and this is something that health care professionals see a lot of. lay people experience it and the reason it has a pr problem is because people think, it's just in your head, it's just fluff. take a look at these symptoms, they're real and they typically affect a change in the mood that occurs early in the winter, fall. you could be sleepier and have less energy and have changes in your appetite and crave carbs. this is real, this is not in your head, and that can lead to weight gain. a lot of these signs and symptoms are the same ones we see in someone dealing with

major depression. >> okay, there are some misconceptions, so we're going to have our beautiful studio audience help us out. you have your paddles. >> no pressure. >> no pressure. i'm going to ask you a question and you answer true or false. okay. seasonal affective disorder, called s.a.d., can only impact people in cloudy cities, only if it's overcast, cloudy cities? do you think that's true or false? we got some smart cookies. >> they are so on point, robin. this is absolutely false because you can experience s.a.d. or sad anywhere. it tends to be more common the further away from the equator you are. but i want to be clear, just with the change of seasons you can experience this. we don't know why, there are a lot of theories about what causes s.a.d. it could be changes in your biological clock or circadian rhythm, or changes in serotonin or melatonin levels in the brain, or even genetic factors. the bottom line is, robin, you don't have to suffer in

silence. >> what can you do? >> number one, light therapy. you see these a lot, okay, i will caution people they can be effective but don't just go online and buy one randomly. consult with a mental health professional first. and then your diet. food is medicine. green leafy vegetables and some dark chocolate. healthy carbs. i don't want you to reach for white sugar. that's just going to make things worse. again, incorporate these and don't suffer. this is real. >> and please, someone said a tanning bed, no. >> no. no bueno. >> thank you. just want to make sure. >> for sure. >> let's get it over to ginger. let's see your "gma" moment. this should make you smile or get a giggle. 13-month-old henley who lives in kansas city, missouri, and her grandmother says she just loves to clean. you know when you get compulsed about that little spot. watch henley. >> cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. yeah, good job. yeah. >> yeah. you know what this tells me, i need to get miles, my baby, starting to work because he's

of the fire and watch you some christmas movies. i really don't like these movies. >> i know that he is the only one without a christmas sweater and hat. >> that's right, sorry. >> but you like them. >> i love these guys in the podcast. >> talk to me about the genesis of this situation. it started with you. >> yeah, like april i was kind of sad because it wasn't christmas. and i was thinking about these movies and i was like, i just want to watch these movies now and i want to watch it with my friends and i knew that this guy especially would never agree to it. >> accurate. >> and so i said what if i made it a podcast and like, you know, tricked them into doing it kind of and he said yeah and here we are. [ applause ] >> please ignore the microphones. go on. >> it was one of those things where i said i'll do one in the summer. it's dumb, it's stupid. we'll watch one movie and never talk about it.

we did one, the lead actor in the film called us, he wanted to come on the podcast. he thought it was hilarious. next thing we are here and i got to watch all 37 of them. >> that's why you got him involved. can you tell us a little bit more why. you admit you're not into it. >> i love christmas. i do. like i love being around family. i understand that, and here's the other thing, hallmark is creating a moment and that moment is you know what the ending of this movie is going to be and you like it, right? you like it. [ applause ] listen, everybody knows -- nobody in this room right now came here to see deck the hallmark but if michael and robin and george weren't here, you would be upset. you would beup set. well, at hallmark, you sit down and watch the movies and you know the ending because you want to feel happy. but for me, i like to see, you know, a little bit of a different movie from time to time. [ laughter and applause ] >> you guys are completely obsessed. 37 movies. basically have to abandon your families to get this job done.

>> oh, my goodness. look, my wife has been amazing through this. but i mean i got to be honest with you, the other day she looked at me and goes, can we please watch something other than hallmark? and i looked at her and i said, babe, we made vows are to better or worse, hallmark movie 37, we're going to do this. we're a family unit. >> i got to be honest, i never thought i would be in a marriage where i was required to stay and watch a hallmark movie and my wife could get up and leave the room. [ applause ] >> yeah, yeah. >> you're a high school principal. >> i'm a high school principal that is accurate if you can believe it. >> what do you the kids think of this? >> well, i'm educating america's youth. i tried to keep this podcast separate from education as much as i possibly could. but in the last few weeks, it has kind of snowballed. we're on "good morning america." i don't know if you guys know

that? what, right now? >> no. [ applause ] and so right now during first period pretty much all the 6th to 12th graders are watching so go back to work, kids, first period. [ applause ] go back to work. >> let me ask you this, panda, is there somebody that is a dream for you? there's a lot of recurring actor, actresses. is there one that you really -- >> it's unified thing here. candace cameron bure. that's got to happen. >> we want -- >> meaning of christmas. >> look, we talked about this earlier. >> can we do it right now. >> where is the camera? candace, if you're watching, from our heart to yours, please, we've had some differences. you've made some good ones, you've made some eh ones. we would love more than anything. you got a movie coming out. >> we got a sweater for you. >> that's right. >> we got some hot cocoa. >> you may have been the wrong one to lead that pitch.

and speaking about it, we have no chance of getting her on. >> one more question. what happens after the holidays? >> that's a good question. >> oh, my gosh. >> we talk about it a lot. >> yes, we do. >> i know we'll have to take some time off and say hi to our families. >> this is grueling. >> it's going to be tough. >> 37 movies in the next two months. that's crazy. we'll take a month off and then we're going to go from there. i think we'll keep doing it. i think we're going to keep doing it. [ applause ] >> yes. >> i was under the impression that it was a marathon when i crossed that finish line i was done and now it appears that may not be the case and still trying to talk myself into it a little bit. >> hallmark is not going to stop. >> you're right. they make them all year long, it's le autumn harvest and summer of love and -- >> what makes a good hallmark movie? >> you guys take this one. >> i love the snow. even if it's fake, i don't care. i love the small towns, the small town -- >> the small-town vibes.

>> i love the christmas traditions. it reminds me of when i was a kid. >> absolutely. [ applause ] >> hand it to hallmark. >> i will tell you this, i have a feeling you could talk about anything and we'd be listening. congrats on the podcast. >> thank you so much. >> thank you guys for being here. we really appreciate it. and now coming up, we have our countdown to thanksgiving with our friend, celebrity chef michael symon, gobble, gobble, michael. three ways to make turkey for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

[ applause ] michael is the owner of mabel's barbecue which is divine and right now we are doing turkey talk? >> turkey talk. we like a little bit of turkey talk. >> you have simple ways to prep it for all of us. >> three different way, right? >> three different dishes you could make with one turkey, stra. >> people are getting their menus ready. you like smoked turkey. >> i do but the best part about thanksgiving i think is the leftovers for me so what i want to do is show you how to smoke a turkey, show you how to make breakfast with a turkey and a snack with turkey the next day. >> you do it. >> this is a huge tip.

so you've seen this a lot. you spatchcock the turkey. take the backbone out of the turkey. >> what do they call that? >> spatchcocking. >> i won't try to say that. i'm not saying that. but cut it in half. >> if you go to your butcher and you say take out the backbone and it reduces your cooking time by two-thirds so in one hour, 450 degrees, my turkey is done. >> everybody should just do that. >> i think it's the best way to do that. >> okay, done. >> we smoked ours, so took apple chips and soaked them in water and put them on a pan and start the stoveto have covered in foil to bring the smoke up if you don't have a big smoker and stick it in that 450-degree oven and then you're done an hour later. >> an hour later. >> on thanksgiving, this is an effective way to cook it. >> yes. >> it's not going to take too long. >> no. one hour. one hour. so you obviously -- you want to check the temperature of the leg and thigh it's at 160 degrees.

i baste it with a little bit of butter then when it comes out you finish it with gravy just like this. >> should everybody buy a thermometer? >> thermometers are the greatest gift you could have. now, next we're making a frittata. you know why i like making a frittata, michael strahan is the worst whisker in america. the greatest athlete i know. you're better. a little more power, stra. a little more power. >> very messy whisker. >> treat it like a quarterback. come on. be aggressive. get in there. >> power. people in the front. >> that's good. >> we'll work on it in the off-season. so all we do with the frittata, salt, pepper, whisked eggs, scallion, we go right in our pan with melted butter and the great thing about a frittata is you could just get it going, stir it around a little bit and then take that turkey and put it on top. sprinkle some on top. >> that's turkey. >> that's turkey. and then. >> a little bit. >> i like a lot of turkey in mine.

>> that'the beautiful thing. go more. go more. don't be afraid. >> it's very fluffy. >> light. >> mine are flat. >> so you start it here and move it and significant it in the oven, it pops right up. >> i forgot the oven part. >> turkey frittata. >> little late night/morning snack type of thing. i have turkey. i have cranberries, onion, stuffing, my favorite brown mustard, a little mayonnaise we put on the outside, and hot sauce. you build your turkey -- i haven't been on tv in a while. i can't speak. >> we got you. >> you take the mayonnaise, one of the great tricks when you're toasting bread. you can do this -- >> my mom does this. >> you don't put butter on the outside but mayonnaise. it adds flavor and what it gives you is perfect golden brown goodness which you can see right here. >> oh. >> doesn't it have a little too much tang, michael?

>> no, it gives it a little bit of sweetness. look at how golden brown it is. >> gb. >> golden brown. this is much better than my plain white like bread, not cooked. >> it's just a little more fun. >> it's a grilled cheese -- >> put it on white bread and eat it right out of the fridge. >> that's what i do. >> me, too. >> i tell you what, thank you very much. i love coming over to your house after thanksgiving. >> you come. you both -- >> you're making leftovers for us. >> we're opening mabel's in vegas. you guys got to come. >> i heard. congratulations. >> mabel's barbecue. here we come.
