and later, craving a kringle.@ >> osgood: can striking the proper pose put you in good standing for the rest of your life? our cover story is reported by rita braver. >> so, why are they lining up to pose like wonder woman with someone you may not even recognize? >> i love you. i was so excited to meet you. >> well, 43-year-old psychologist amy cuddy -- >> please welcome amy cuddy. >> street an accident sensation. we're really fascinated with body language. >> it all began when she was

talk in 2012. >> we make sweeping judgments from body language. those judge minutes can predict really meaningful life outcomes, like who we hire or promote. who we ask out on date. >> you see images of everyone from oprah to make jagger to world leaders to athletes. she talks about the relationship between posture and power. >> what is your body language communicating to me. what's mine communicating to you. >> but she says, it's more than how you appear publicly. believe it or not, her studies show that if you stand like a super hero, privately, before going into a stressful situation, there will actually be hormonal changes in your body chemistry that cause to you be more confident and in command. >> two minutes, two minutes. before you go into the next stressful situation, for two minutes try doing this in the elevate for, bathroom stall.

putt is closer to the hole after the power pose. >> when you do the opposite, when you act like a scared animal by slouching and collapsing inward you perform worse. >> in her new book "presence" cuddy writes about how your body can influence your mind. presenting a whole series of poses that can help people feel powerful. >> and now i want to you lean back, you got it. open your shoulders. that's the ceo pose. >> i hope that doesn't mean i have to fire a lot of gleam it's funny because there are a lot of pictures of u.s. presidents sitting like this in the oval office. >> i thought she was on to something, we don't verbalize, we don't write about but we notice it. >> david gergen to worked for four presidents now teaches at march are card's kennedy school government has brought cuddy in to share her theories with her

what do you think it isn't something that's traditionally taught? we don't learn this stuff in school. >> no. we don't teach it. but you notice it if you're in the arena. you see it all the time. when i first worked in the white house for richard nixon i'd see him come out of the oval office he'd be hunched over like this, scowl on his face. he would get ready to go in the cabinet room, throw his shoulders back, put a big green on his face and walk in and boy, i'm ready for the world. pron alleged reagan had a lot of that. his bearing made a big difference in how people thought of him, the way he walked, john wayne like. those things made a difference. i thought amy was on to some things that was weren't in the research. >> made a difference in amy cuddy's own life in 2011, when friends put her in touch with the man doing this power pose. how did you come to be posing

>> there's no real good excuse. >> you some times though have compared this pose to that which wild animals looking for a mate actually strike. >> well, it does resemble, you might have noticed a peacock with its tail feathers spread. >> so you thought he was searching? >> i'm not immune to the effects that i talk about. >> i think i fell for it. >> cuddy and australian data science analyst paul coster were mast last year. >> you use a more posture. >> there have been some criticism from other researchers. some say that, well, it only works in very specific kinds of circumstances. >> i welcome the challenges that help us grow the science, right? to move it forward so that better we understand it the

>> cud depoints out that power posing can't magically give you knowledge or abilities that you don't already have. you don't mean like, being able to leap over a tall building in a single bound. >> not at all. it's personal power. it's about bringing your best self forward. having the key to unlock that best self and show it. hard wired in one direction, power to this kind of behavior. >> what is really remarkable about amy cuddy is that she is able to do the work she does. while a sophomore in college, she was in a car crash. >> i was thrown out the side of the car and i had a serious traumatic brain injury. >> you were told that you had a diminished brain function at one point? >> i had lost cognitive function, i had lost 30iq points. and i was told that i should probably figure out something else to do that i was unlikely

>> but she powered through. going on to get a phd in psychology from princeton. yet, she had a secret. you say that you felt like an impostor someone who didn't belong there. >> i absolutely did. >> you did all this work to get there. >> for a long time i had i'm thinking i'm not supposed to be here. >> her dramatic confession of feeling like an impostor mesmerize dollars the audience at her ted talk when she spoke of trying to help a student with similar fears. >> she came in totally defeated and she said, i'm not supposed to be here. and that was the moment for me, because two things happened, one was that i realized, my gosh, i don't feel like that any more. i don't feel that any more but she does and i get that feeling. the second was, she is supposed to be here, like she can fake it. sheik become it. i was like, yes, you are. you are supposed to be here.

fake it, you're going to make yourself powerful and you're going to -- [ applause ] >> and now they come to meet her and they write to her. so this is just one volume of the e-mails that you are gotten. >> yeah. >> she's heard from people all over the world. >> here is amy cuddy. >> and now amy says she has one major goal. >> how do i give this away to more people. how do i give it away to more people who can give it away to more people. >> stand up straight realize who you are. to me that's where the energy is. i want everyone to know that they can have power. this is a tiny tweak that can lead to a huge change.

lead and avoid taking lessons. >> if they have a teacher they will soon paint as their teacher paints. it's best to have their own ideas. >> personal, though her paintings were, she claimed to have no deep attachment to them. >> you hate to see a painting sold after you've made it and liked it? >> i'd rather have the money. >> osgood: grandma moses left her admirers plenty of paintings to like and look at, more than 1600 in all.

short and sweet. >> in racine the holidays are all about the kringles. there's a certain skill involved in making wisconsin's pastry. good lord that's a lot of dough. >> it takes lots of this. to make the dough flakey then you have to do this. again and again to make the 36 layers. >> does everybody do this much by hand? >> as far as i know now nobody at all does. i think we're the last ones. >> for four generations, tendtsen's bakery has been mastering the technique can. >> see the layers -- really. when the family opened its bakery 81 years ago they followed the danish tradition of threat sell-shaped pastry. it earned racine with the

a kringle queen and kringle inspired polka. originally with almond and raisins now ben, junior and ben iii, make close to 30 flavors. >> almonds, apple, apricot, blueberry, cherry, raspberry, our most popular. >> to save time the pretzel shape became an oval. but everything else has stayed the same. >> my grandpa until he died would come up here, you just keep the quality, he says you'll be here forever. well, i'm still here. >> one of the first things people ask, have you had a kringle yet? >> came from scottsdale, arizona to, get one of these. >> not far from bendsten's is the danish bakery family run since 1945. >> that looks good. >> we make our own here. >> took us on tour of his 39,000 square foot facility where machines have mastered the

they make five to 7,000 kringles during the holidays they ship up to 20,000 in one day. >> late 1950s, some of the bakers started shipping kringle as gifts. and that became very popular. so the word kind of spread. people come here because we have kringles. >> larson's bakery they combined technique, rolling the dough by machine then filling and forming their vague an kringles by hand. done hutchinson's father bought the bakery in 1969. and hutchinson says a kringle from anywhere else just isn't the same. >> it's kind of like going to new york having a new york bagel. you can't get new york bagel anywhere else because they put the time into it and the labor into making it right. >> you must feel some sense of pride. >> absolutely. not a loft bakers any more. to do this and carry on the tradition of making kringles

enjoy. >> regardless how they're made, by handw help from a machine or a little bit of both, you can taste the craftsmanship in overbite. >> it seems like all the bakers here are friends. >> it's friendly competition. we want to make the best quality product, why not something everybody can be proud of. because we're all representing racine. >> osgood:. found a disease that no one has ever seen. >> osgood: still to come, will smith takes the field.

lloyd webber. >> osgood: "memory" sung by betty buckley, was a showstopper in 1908's musical "cats." the composer of that song, andrew lloyd webber. and he's back on broadway with a brand new show and talking with our mo rocca. >> i don't know what really

in the end you write it and you write it because you want to write it. >> and if lord andrew lloyd webber writes it, there's a good chance it will be a hit. during a four decade long career he spun box office gold from felines, fascists and a phantom. all of them characters in some of the most commercially successful shows in broadway history.

with the just-opened "school of rock" based on the jack black movie about a washed up musician who teaches a bunch of prep schoolers to unleash their inner zeppelin. >> it's not a musical that's going to change the course of presently know it. but hopefully you take something away from it. it's got some catchy songs. >> in fact lloyd webber is enjoying some of the best reviews of his career for "school of rock." >> one two,, three. >> the show isn't entirely new territory for him. early on he and lear wrist tim

first ever rock musicals. this sock from the 1971 show -- was so popular, two versions landed on the charts at the same time. >> that was a sound,. >> telling stories with music started early for lloyd webber. raised in family of musicians, the future fashioned a record player. >> were your musical tastes typical? >> no. i mean my love of musical

i mean it was considered to be very, very abnormal. it may sound amazing to people today. but rogers and hammerstein were considered by, as it were, how can i put it, the sort of opinion-making -- to have off the scale of sentimental. i remember once saying when i was very little, you know, i like "carousel." >> after dropping out of the royal college of music lloyd webber began collaborating with tim rice while still in his teens. the pair returned to broadway post superstar with "evita" a musical about eva peron the wife of argentina's military dictator.

would turn on her. >> played in complete triumph. >> evita was a hit. but "cats" based on the poems of t.s.eliot and lloyd webber's first musical without rice was a mega hit. >> i played the cast album "cats" so many times my brother almost killed me. he'd come into my room, i'm sick of hearing about the jellicle accounts. >> you no what he jellicle cats are, do you? >> i don't. >> a corruption of what the english sort of posh upper class say, dear little cats. so dear little cats become jellicle cats. >> dear little cats. >> you were in "downton abbey"

>> are you a cat person? >> yes, absolutely. >> how many do you have? >> well at the moment i have four. all turkish van cats. >> tushish van. >> what a van cat? >> a van cat is a a swimming cat. >> they go into your swimming pool. >> yes. >> they're very friendly but extremely strong willed. >> with cats and then phantom of the opera, lloyd webber became famous beyond the world of musical theater. >> i was asked if i would play the role of amadeus in movie of that name. >> yes. >> i turned it down. it was one of those things. the more i said, no, the more they thought it was great idea. >> what a wild thing to be asked. like 1982. >> it remember the final meeting was just before the opening night of "cats" on broadway. finally i said i'm really not doing. this i am really flattered but

if i play a role it's got to be my music not mozart's. one of them said, rather good idea. no, no, please. >> when the movie came out did you think maybe i should have taken the role? >> no. i thought what a good thing i didn't do this. >> lloyd webber seems keenly aware of his own limits. he writes the music but not the words to his shows. why haven't you written hire ricks in your shows? >> i can't. >> have you tried? >> this is not a skill that i really -- writing lyrics something which is very specific and the great lyric writers, they have a turn of phrase and way of writing. i simply couldn't get near. >> not all of his shows have been smash hits on broadway. what was up with the musical where everybody was on roller skates pretending they were trains? >> that was great fun. it was a very stupid idea to bring it here in the form that

it's still running in germany. it's written for kids. entirely written for kids. >> don't try r cry for andrew lloyd webber, he's got an as carr, three grammys and seven tonys, phantom of the opera longest running show ever. >> lot of british people don't like to talk about money. but i'm not british. by some measure you're the richest man in all of pop music. >> i very much doubt that. >> i think you are. >> i have done extremely well but you might find that compose irrelevant and lyricist of the lion king were rather ahead. >> you think elton john has more money than you? >> owe yeah. >> no, there's no way. >> you got a billion is a thousand -- >> it doesn't matter. most important thing that money is to use it that's why i have my foundation. but i can assure you that i am no where near the top of the tree when it comes to the rich

>> we stand corrected. andrew lloyd webber is number two. just behind sir paul mccartney on the list of rich brits in music. he's doing just fine. we've come to the part of the interview we sum much your life. how would you describe it? >> i think i'm the luckiest man alive, really. i'm able to do the one thing in my life that i really love. i'm 67 now. i'm still doing it. i don't intend to stop. >> osgood: coming up. happiness and health. anything but simple. so finally, i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms.

and the majority were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible. just press clean and let roomba from irobot help with your everyday messes. roomba navigates your entire home cleaning up pet hair and debris for up to 2 hours. which means your floors are always clean. you and roomba from irobot better together . arturito soup! okay, okay. arturito soup!

>> osgood: it happened this past week. cheery news from grumpy folks everywhere. a report in the british medical journal "lancet" cites a study concluding there's no link between happiness and a longer life. the study tracked a million british women ages 50-69 for ten years. researchers asked the women questions about happiness as well as their health and concluded, quote, happiness and related measures of well being do not appear to have any direct effect on mortality. so much, it would appear, for the whole cheer up school of self help, which warns the disgruntled that worrying and fretting could drive a person to an early grave. still, there are some caveats.

own self assessments of their happiness. and remember, the study was women only. there's no guarantee what's true for a million british women will hold true for enone grumpy man. don't worry, be happy >> osgood: coming up. >> took a good idea, turned it into an atomic bomb.

"the big short." >> osgood: now our subject is a film mixing comedy and finance. nobody could be more surprised than "the big short" has may it to the big screen than the author of the book that inspired it. john blackstone offers us a preview. >> in a way "the big short" is part of a hollywood tradition, the disaster movie. a disaster we all lived through.

and turned it into an atomic bomb of fraud and stupidity. >> "the big short" looks at what caused the 2008 financial crisis that cost millions their homes, jobs and savings. >> the whole housing market is propped up on these bad loans. they will fail. >> the movie starring steve carrell, christian bale, brad pitt and ryan gosling was nominated this past week for four golden globes and two screen actors guild awards. >> anyone could see there's real estate bubble. >> it tells the story of a few investors who saw the bubble being created in the housing market when no one else did. >> a guy who gets his hair cut at super cuts doesn't wear shoes knows more than alan greenspan. >> yes, he does. >> the film is based on the 2010 book by michael lewis.

balls who are the on the margins who saw crisis as it was developing. nobody wanted to listen to them. and they made fortunes betting on the collapse of the system. >> if morgan goes under we end up with nothing. >> i say when we sell. >> this isn't about you. >> i say when we sell. >> it wasn't based on characters are you always on the look out for character. >> if you ask me what starting point for books, almost always that. the character in the wakes. >> the cologne? >> no. smell money. >> the characters in the big short are in a complicated situation involving risky mortgage bonds sold by big banks. >> this is your basic mortgage bond. >> they are trying to figure out what happepe if home owners begin to default on their mortgages and those bonds lose their value. >> the default rates are up from one to four percent.

they will, going to zero, too. then that happens. >> what is that? >> that's america's housing market. >> i did wonder while i was working on it, can this be really a book? >> it turned out to be a best seller on the "new york times" list for 28 weeks. but lewis didn't write it with a movie in mind. >> i don't feel i'm responsible for the movie. it's a very nice situation. if it goes well people give me credit for it. if it goes badly i just say, he did it. >> he is screen writer and director adam mckay. >> you don't think of a book about that public as being a page turner. >> and you don't think of mcpay as an obvious choice to write and direct a movie about complex financial issues. his previous works are will ferrell comedies. including "anchorman." >> i immediately regret this.

>> say time to thank you from my family of course my red hot smoking wife, who is a stone cold fox. >> when we do big silly comedies you learn to disengage from worrying about what the critical response is and you just worry about making a movie that works. >> when mckay had to explain how banks disguised risky mortgage bonds to look like security investments he brought in celebrity chef anthony bourdain. the banks stuck with unsold bonds he says were like a chef stuck with unsold fish. >> whatever crafty levels i don't sell i throw into a seafood stew. it's not old fish. it's a whole new thing. >> diabolical. later i found out he was a little dubious until he saw the movie then he was over void that it actually worked. >> during filming, lewis never

you find, at least, found hollywood baffling. >> i still find it baffling. such an accidental quality. >> in 2003 producers offered to buy the film to money ball about lock and a's general manager billy babye. >> he was really unhappy about the idea of movie being made. i said, don't worry, they will never make the movie. they pay you until you get bored and move on. i say, one day he called me. it was very funny he says, you bastard, brad pitt's coming to my house and my wife is putting on make up and the baby-sitter's wearing a dress. you said this wasn't going to happen. with brad pitt playing babye money ball was a hit. lewis book the blind side also became popular movie starring sandra bullock. as a suburban mother who takes in a homeless high school

>> you protect his behind side. you think of me. >> "the big short" is lewis' 12th book but it has much in common with his first. liars poker, about his brief experience working on wall street during the stock market boom of the 1980s. that, too, was a best seller. but lewis admits books about the financial markets don't necessarily appeal to every reader. you said you didn't think your mother would read "the big short." you weren't sure? >> if my mother watches this, i'm in trouble. i don't know that she has. narratives about walls even when i'm the main subject i'm not so sure she graph fates to those. >> if she's goes to see the movie "the big short." >> she will see the movie. >> she will understand it? >> totally. very smart and interesting. i think she'll be, wow, that's different.

understand it. >> osgood: next -- this is for you.

coming to town. >> osgood: the identity of at least one secret santa remains secure this holiday season. but his good deeds are known far and wide. here's steve hartman. twas a few weeks before christmas whenner this arose such a clatter the people of pittsburgh must have thought something was the matter. but far from it. once again this year the man in the red coat only known as secret santa is out doing random acts of kindness across america. every year with the help of his elves and local law enforce. that anonymous wealthy businessman gives away way about $15 0,000 worth of hundred dollar bills to total strangers. >> that's it. >> asking for nothing in return except to spread the kindness.

coordinator at the ymca she said she want to use some of her money to help the kids in her after-school program. >> i promise as soon as i get out of here i'm going to call my job and be like, guess what? >> couple hundred in there. >> i got to quit talking to you i'm running out of money. we love you. you're doing great. don't stop. >> thank you so much. >> secret santa has been doing this for about a decade. but he says he feels more needed now than ever. >> this year the time is perfect for everybody to come together one random act of kinding. >> is she a christian? >> who knows. a muslim? who cares. all he looks for are people who seem like they could use a little comparing in their lives. >> merry christmas. >> in other words, anyone. >> kind isn't bridge between all people. kind suns one thing that cuts through everything regardless of

>> and really that's what he's handing out here. not the money. money doesn't make people break down like this. these are the faces of people overwhelmed by something truly priceless. >> come here. i want to talk to you. >> unless you doubt that consider this. >> this is a hundred dollars from secret santa. >> her name is mildred morris. >> i just came from chemo. mildred has stage four breast cancer. she said a million dollars couldn't have turned her day around. yet here she was overjoyed. >> god bless you. >> i am happy. >> you've got to explain that to me. >> it's just amazing that there's so much compassion out here with all this other ugly stuff going on. >> every year people tell me they would like to do this but they don't have the money. now we know the only currency

>> you can hug him, too. >> osgood: still to come. actor will smith. and harmony for the holidays. i'm lucky to get through a shift without a disaster. my bargain detergent couldn't keep up. so i switched to tide pods. they're super concentrated so i get a better clean. 15% cleaning ingredients or 90%. don't pay for water, pay for clean. that's my tide. with the pain and swelling of my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... ordinary objects often seemed... intimidating. doing something simple... meant enduring a lot of pain. if ra is changing your view of everyday things

orencia works differently by targeting a source of ra early in the inflammation process. for many, orencia provides long-term relief of ra symptoms. it's helped new ra patients and those not helped enough by other treatments. do not take orencia with another biologic medicine for ra due to an increased risk of serious infection. serious side effects can occur including fatal infections. cases of lymphoma and lung cancer have been reported. tell your doctor if you're prone to or have any infection like an open sore, the flu, or a history of copd, a chronic lung disease. orencia may worsen your copd. if you're not getting the relief you need... ask your doctor about orencia. orencia. see your ra

>> that's what i'm talking about. >> it's "sunday morning" on cbs. here again is charles osgood. >> osgood: will smith costarted with tommy lee jones in this science fiction comedy "men in black" back in 1997. by contrast his latest film "concussion" is grounded in science fact. his performance as a researcher into football safety won him a golden globe nomination just this past week. all in all, pretty good grist for questions from our tracy smith. >> i found a disease that no one has ever seen. >> what bothered you most about taking on this role? >> i'm a football dad.

years at oaks christian, which is a football power house. you know, just one of the most beautiful times in my life as a parent, the bonding, the excitement for the family, the friday night lights. i loved it. so, you know, when he r i received this screen play, i was -- i was really conflicted. >> repetitive head trauma. turns you into someone else. >> i really don't want to be that guy. >> the guy who -- reseals that playing football could potentially cause brain damage. >> the movie "concussion" will smith is the dr. bennett omalu, the nigerian-born pathologist who found out what kind of

to a football player's brain. >> the nfl owns the day of the week. same day that church used to own. >> someone says in the film the nfl owns a day of the week. >> yeah. were you worried about taking them on? >> i'm not expecting to be invited to the super bowl next year. denzel will probably get my tickets this year. but after meeting dr. omalu and getting up to speed on the science i felt solid that i'd be willing to take whatever i had to take to deliver the information. >> you'd be willing to take the hit essentially. >> yeah. >> truth is he's been up for a challenge all of his life. >> will smith was already a successful recording artist when

tv series. he had zero acting experience. but it wasn't much of a stretch to see him play a wise cracking teenager. >> it is amazing, you certainly have grown, will. >> well, we all have. >> but this was a stretch. >> the book is primarily about paralysis. >> in "six degrees of separation" smith played social climbing street hustler and he got so into the role he had tough time getting out of it. >> so my character was in love with stockard channing. so the movie ended and all that, i go home, i'm a newlywed and i six month old baby. i'm thinking about stockard. i'm like -- and i realized that i had fallen in love with stockard channing. >> you, will smith. >> me, will, had fallen in love with stockard.

i'll be outside hotel room, say, stockard, hey, what you doing n. >> but that's good acting. >> that's terrible acting. that's not acting at all. >> bad acting or not will smith had goal back then to be the biggest movie star in the world. >> you know what the difference is between you and me? i make this look good. >> did you think it was a little audacious to say, i want to be the biggest movie star in the world that early on? >> i mean, i think, yes. but i think it's -- it's as audacious as saying, hey, what if we take this metal and wrap it put some stuff out on the sides and fly it over the ocean. >> you have to dream big in order for it to happen? >> i feel like i made up of what is called a new old saying. being realistic is the most

mediocrity. >> there must be something to that. will smith whose wife jada is a star in her own right has two oscar nominations. most of the past 20 years few other actors have packed a bigger box office punch. >> welcome to earth. >> 1996's "independence day" alone grossed more than a quarter of a billion dollars. >> that's what i call a close encounter. >> in fact will smith is the only actor ever to star in eight consecutive number one films. did that make you feel infallible? >> yes. definitely felt that i couldn't miss. and that perspective got corrected a little bit. how -- >> it got corrected. >> what corrected?

shoot. >> do not move. >> 20 13's "after earth" which also starred his john jaden was one of those misses. >> one thing that doesn't go right with you, but doesn't go right with your kids, i was -- i was devastated. >> did you get into a funk? >> i was in a funk for those three days. and then that monday morning i got a call that my father was diagnosed with kwaner is. and it was like, got it. i understand. >> perspective. >> got it. perspective. crystal clear. >> and maybe that explains why the 47-year-old smith wanted to do "concussion."

the world denying my work. but men, your men, will continue to die. >> in the movie smith's character is vilified after he goes public with his research. >> tell the truth. >> the real dr. bennett says it's all true. >> i was bruised, battered, marginalized, ridiculed, dismissed. pretty much asked to shut up. and -- >> shut up? >> they wanted exterminate me professionally by requesting that my paper be retracted. >> they wanted to earl terminate you professionally, wipe out your career basically. >> if your scientific paper is retracted you're finished. >> the film is true to every detail he says down to the way he talks. >> i listened to his voice and, you know, bennett's voice is a lot more round. the sound of bennett's voice is

>> and that laugh. >> i know, right? yeah. you know. >> isn't that beautiful? >> what do they want? >> want to you say you made it ail up. >> they're accusing you of fraud. >> this is not just a film about football or concussions this is your life story. >> absolutely. >> what do you want people to take away from that? >> what people want to take away is that we are one family. we are one love. we are one hope. we all need to be joyful people because life can be wonderful if we choose to make it wonderful. >> nicely put. >> i don't think i'm going to try to top that. >> but he may try to top

for will smith being a huge movie star just might not be enough. >> there's a contribution to the world inside of me that i can't reach. there's a thing that i'm supposed to be doing, there's a person that i want to be that i always thought reflection in my grandmother's eyes, you know, of what it is. but i can't reach that thing. there's so much more that i feel that i have to offer that access in myself. >> still now? >> still now. absolutely. >> any idea how that's going to come out? >> people keep saying all the crazy kind of stuff they have been saying on the news, lately about, walls and muslims and they are going to force me into the political arena. >> what are you going to run for? >> i mean, i got to be the president. you know. come on. >> why would i even -- mean, really, what else would i run for?

but leave it to will smith to think big. >> osgood: up next, a life of harmony. nothing. romance. 18 inch alloys. you remembered. family fun. everybody squeeze in. don't block anyone. and non-stop action. noooooooo! it's the event you don't want to miss. it's the season of audi sales event. woman: it's been a journey to get where i am. and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement

so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today. terry bradshaw? what a surprise! you know what else is a surprise? shingles. and how it can hit you out of nowhere. i know. i had it. that's why i'm here. c'mon let's sit down and talk about it. and did you know that one in three people will get shingles? i didn't know that. i did. he's on tv saying it. but have you done anything? (all) no. that's why i'm reminding people like you to ask your doctor or pharmacist about your risk of getting shingles. because if you had chickenpox then the shingles virus is already inside you. (all) oooh. who's had chickenpox? scoot over. me too! when i got shingles i had this ugly band of blisters and look that nasty rash can pop up anywhere and the pain can be even worse than it looks.

we all in? (all) yes! good, 'cause if not we're gonna watch highlights of my career 12 hours straight. i know, talk about pain. seriously now, talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about a vaccine that can help prevent shingles. >> osgood: a song of the season sung by the heavenly voices of the choir of new college oxford. the chorus is beloved in england and martha teichner now we'll see and hear why. >> for more than 600 years.

such thing as history,. >> come join us. >> only a way of life that might begin this way. london's burning >> with a lesson from edward higginbottom leader of the choir for 38 years. each spring parents and children are invited to see what it's like to be a chorister. they literally try it on for size. >> the real thing that makes a difference is this child of five gets to put on a cassock and a ruff and stands alongside one of the boys here and sings. as best they can. or you know opens their mouth and prefends to sing. >> i can remember when i first

breathe in this. and that was my first thought. >> meet tom. >> then i started breathing very deeply and i sort of got the hang of it. >> since its founding, the choir has always had 16 boy choristrs plus several more in training who sing alongside the men. only four new boys are chosen each year to replace the four who age out and leave at 13 or earlier, if their voices have changed. when you auditioned, was it scary? >> well, my legs were almost between liquid and solid. >> this is oscar. what was it like when you heard you got in? >> i was, oh, my, gosh,

>> singing has just become part of me, my life now. >> this is joseph. >> we practice a lot. but when you see the results you get -- the rewards sort of cancel out all the hard work which you have to put in. >> hard work indeed. their lunch breaks, their afternoons, their weekends for as long as six years spent learning music theory. and the music they will sing at evening services in the chapel. as well as on tour around the world. the choir has also recorded extensively. as long as the choir has existed new college school has existed. but the choristers live double lives as normal boys and as professionals.

potter film, putting on their caps and gowns, leaving their classmates behind for the rigors of the song room. there's no sense that they're losing their childhood? >> this is their childhood. what richer childhood could you have? instead of doing things all kids, instead of playing football, they're still messing around. >> even singing for fun. before it's time to work again. for the time they are here, their days are spent filling the medieval buildings with music. these gargoyle stay and stare boys have come and gone. on december 10, 1738, chorister william hicks carved his name.

hundreds of initials carved in and i think mine were somewhere in here. >> 250 years later, cbs news sunday morning producer jon carras left his mark. >> this is 1978-1988. and here i am, right in the middle in the front row. i have left a little piece of myself here, but the other thing is this place stays with me every day. each year brings its regular rites of passage, its beginnings and endings. >> here by in duct you -- at the end of the school term new boys were formally inducted. [ applause ] and edward higginbottom a titan of british choral music retired. when he's not exactly leaving,

july, dinner, by how we over do it. christmas is our biggest blow out. which means that underneath all the plastic snowmen and chocolate santas and holiday sales way down deep, part of us still values the promise made in a cave in bethlehem,000 years ago. that's a promise that there is more to this world than what we see. there is meaning to this life beyond how much stuff we have or how much money we owe. it's a promise that no matter how dark the world seems, we are heading toward a light. for believers christmas holds the hope of forgiveness and salvation. but even if your faith has faded, christmastime might care about. if you lost those you love? the season reminds you that love is real. that love is the only emotion that does not fade with him. time makes love grow stronger.
