remember? >> you do know who says those. they also say they try to use general words like using an a or an. like in a galaxy far away, as opposed to the galaxy far away. >> once upon a time always worked for me as a child. >> we have some clips of our favorite -- >> should we show some of the favorites -- not ours, but others? >> yeah, yeah. >> we don't have others. let's not look at others. >> yeah, let's look at ours. that's all we care about really. there's a movie that a lot of younger people haven't seen called "chariots of fire." one of the greatest movies ever made. this is when the lead, his sister is questioning why he wants to be a runner because they're very devout spiritual people and he says this. >> i believe that god made me for a purpose. for china. but he also made me fast.

and when i run, i feel his pleasure. >> i love that. when i run, i feel his pleasure. >> that's beautiful. >> the other one is on the other end of the spectrum, it is about sex. in" funny girl," barbara streisand's character sees nicky for the first time, "hello, gorgeous." >> one that's really close to my heart. when you see a movie and it sticks with you forever. every now and then you think of that quote, you think this is so applicable in my life. right now, here's that quote. >> oh, right now. [ belching ] >> jesus, megan. >> i want to apologize. i'm not even confident of which end that came out of. >> that's not my real one. that's really not my real one. my real one is -- isn't that nasty? that is some kind of nasty.

i'm not even confident what end that came out of. >> and you won't look at an earwax video? hoda woman! >> all right. no, but really -- >> you don't know hoda, people. i'm just telling you. >> but this is if you're in love with love, this may be one of your favorite quotes. >> shut up. just shut up! you had me at "hello." >> i gave you that one yesterday. >> i already knew it before you gave it to me. so here are a list of things the three of you who are watching our show. these are things guys should never, ever, ever tell their girlfriends. "you look like my ex." "your sister is a --" "we" should go on a diet. that one, that's terrible. and they actually think they're being sensitive. >> for some guys, that's very

sensitive. "my mom thinks you should change this." "my mother," hey, my mom thinks that you should maybe, maybe if you -- it came from -- >> my mom thinks you should marry me. that ain't so bad. that's like you're the best thing in the world. >> i still don't want his mother advising him. no, i don't. >> no, i understand what you're saying. but it's better than the others. >> how about this? this one bugs me. you're getting too emotional. you're overreacting. don't ever say that. >> i can't stand it when cody says "calm down." >> ooh, ooh, ooh. >> you want to ring my chimes -- >> how about this? you look really different in the mornings. that is awful. >> now we're going to let them redeem themselves with the best compliments. this is for men and women. survey says -- number five,

compliment their clothing. i love your dress, i love your -- number four, your hair looks great. >> i like that one a lot. >> does jay say that on weekends? >> i went to go get my hair blown out and the lady couldn't take me for whatever reason. i came back and jay's like your hair looks great. i go i didn't do it, he goes oh, okay. so the next day i really did it. he walks into the apartment, he's like hey, like he's looking to know whether or not he should go in with the compliment or not and he didn't. i was like i just did it. no one can tell. you can't win on that one. >> has he ever seen -- >> the crazy hair? not for long. >> has he ever seen this? >> don't even. you know what? i'm glad he doesn't watch the show. >> i like how they just have it right there. here's one everybody likes. you smell nice. you have a nice smile. my favorite of all time -- you look like you've lost weight. >> that's a great one. >> here's the worst one.

everyone says it, not just men. friends say it, your mother says it. "you like tired." i know. it's the worst. but the survey was done by a dental care-plus intake so keep that in mind. and your teeth are white. what do you use? i'm sure that's one of the other ones they like a lot. >> i don't know why we needed a survey for this. you could have asked any woman. a new survey says women who feel ignored seek out expensive retail therapy. >> they go shopping. >> no kidding. >> i don't go shopping when i feel ignored. but they also want labels. they want to buy stuff with big labels on it. that's the other thing. they want recognizable logos. maybe if you feel ignored you want people to see that you're wearing -- yeah. like gucci or prada. >> it just means you've been over to bobbie thomas' apartment and picked out something nice. >> exactly. >> what else, hoda?

what else do we have to talk about? >> i like this one. a lot of times people leave their dogs at home during the part of the day. >> but they're alone and lonely. >> sometimes people leave the radio or tv on. now there is a great solution. it's even better than all those things, it is called dog tv. it is a channel for dogs. it is $5 a month, $4.99. it offers eight hours. the dog just looks at his own eye level and looks out. he thinks he's playing. >> i think it is so adorable. oh, look. swimming. this is actually kind of mean. the dog's watching what he's not doing. >> that's what most human beings are when they're watching tv or movies. >> look! they put it at the dog eye level. >> people laugh at this. cassidy has never been real crazy about bambino. i don't know why. i can't imagine why anybody's not madly in love with bambino. >> sure.

>> but a couple weeks ago, frank and i were gone and i said cass, baby-sit bambino. she says -- ugh! they watched "best in show" together. and bambino is so excited when he sees her now and she's bonded with him over "best in show." that movie is one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. >> i love there -- that one. >> i think there's something to that. >> i think we feel like laughing. it might be time for kathie lee's friday funny. >> this one is short. >> good. >> and i can't believe -- i can't believe this actually got past practice and standards. sent in from kerry from ohio. if you have a problem, you find her on facebook. when i got out of bed this morning, i had chest pains. looked down and realized i was stepping on my nipple. >> that is good! that rocked.

>> i had one last week that was so funny and they would not let me use it because it had a word that starts with scr and ends with a "m" for a man's part of his -- >> area. >> and in the middle there's an "ot" and i was not allowed to say that. i could say nipple up the wazoo but i'm not allowed to say that. >> i don't know why. they have a standards persons that goes through all that? >> i have obviously never met that person. jo ann says don't talk about that. it's time for "bobbie's buzz." >> hi, ladies. >> you look like you've lost weight. >> i actually love that dress. the color is so pretty. >> you never say you like what i'm wearing. you always want to put me in something different. >> it's earth day this weekend so i was inspired to find some eco friendly things that are very stylish. these of course, if you have any platforms like these laying

around you could reclaim them and up cycle them. giddy spinster is the seller but she takes old shoes and reinvents them. i actually really like this. this is a great gift to maybe give a girlfriend. >> i love this. what i love so much is you so desperately wanted to lift that up and show us what -- they've nailed it down because nobody is allowed to take anything. >> this other one is really, really cool. these are pens that last for seven years. from seltzer goods. they're adorable. did you know 100 million pens are discarded every day? that's a lot. >> why would we know that? >> i don't know. but i was kind of impressed when i was told that so these are the seven-year pens. they'll write 1.7 something every day. some people like the refreshing

feel of a can when you open it up, but that's bad. these are eco cans from uncommon goods that you can pop and use out of the bottle to minimize the cans which is really cool. you pour the soft drink in there. it feels like a can, but then you can -- >> cool, bobbie. thank you, honey. you never know what's going to happen when "the real housewives of jersey" get together. >> are they here? nobody warned me. >> well they're in the back and coming out right after this. ♪ so every year my family throws this great reunion in austin. but this year, i can only afford one trip and i've always wanted to learn how to surf. austin's great -- just not for surfing. so i checked out hotwire. and by booking with them, i saved enough to swing both trips. see, hotwire checks the competition's rates every day so they can guarantee their low prices. that's how i got a 4-star hotel on the beach in san diego for half price. ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e ♪ hotwire.com

they were boring in 1968 when they coined the term maxi dress. >> they were granny dresses before that. remember? >> they were all ankle length. the high-low is one of the hot trends you'll see. i think anyone can wear this trend, no matter what your age as long as you wear it in an appropriate fashion for your age. >> we're going to go through all the different ages. let's start can katie, in her 20s. she's sporting this maxi. >> i adore that. >> so cute. >> it is quintessentially beachy. right? from baby fat, cut-out, zigzag chevron -- >> a little skin with you not too much. >> when you're in your 20s you can show off a little skin. i saw halle berry wearing a cut-out dress. that's $39.99. the hat from burlington coat factory -- $9.99. it is a great coral, beachy inspired jewelry. all my models are wearing jewelry from stella and dot today. >> they're terrific. >> really nice. i love the pearl necklace. >> thank you. >> next up, sidney is in her

30s. she is petite. if you're under 5'5", what should you look for in a maxi? >> all of the women who are shorter in height, i want to say you can wear the maxi dress. here's the key -- either one solid block of color head to toe or a print that's evenly dispersed throughout the dress. her print is petite. make sure your prints are proportional. she has a side slit too for a little sexiness on the side. she'll pop out a little angelina. this is a wonderful ruffle dress from nordstrom. >> very pretty. >> 40 and fabulous. we have sit ufrgs comeing out. ready for an evening out. >> tell us about that. >> this is how you wear the maxi dress for evening. i think this color, so beautifully frames her silhouette. she's well endowed so i think the support under the bust that gives her a lot of support and go for a slightly thicker strap.

this dress is by macy's. the clutch is the "it" bag. obviously this is for evening but it is from dress barn for $30. >> it looks much more expensive than that. >> thank you. >> we talked about high-low, that's what erin is wearing. tell us the body type this works well on. >> erin is very tall. she can wear the high-low look. the two key things here are, age wise, we did try some dresses where the high was a little too high. also you got to have a little bit of height to you to pull this look off and you got to love your legs. those are the general rules are wearing the high-low trend. it is also color blocked. this dress from xoxo. wherever the lighter color is the highlighting color. we're really showing off her legs and for good reason. her shoes are by rue la la. the dress is $68. all the shoes on my models are

at ruelala.com. when you're going for the shoes, a wedge has more fabric involved and most of the dresses are a-line cut. >> the new shoe. it's nice, as well. nuke thank you. last up, bonita is our 60s model. >> we skipped a decade. we skipped over the 50s because i think bonita was in her 50s. she is so beautiful. the rules apply for both decades. i say go for bright hues. this gorgeous print, all of her clothes actually are from shopit-tome.com. those sensitive about their arms, you can see through her sweater just a little bit because it is knitted. it is like a tease of the skin. if you get -- i'm going to ask her to throw it off because -- >> she looks amazing. >> when you are in your 60s and have you amazing arms like this -- >> show them, baby. >> you've got to flaunt what you've got.

tax season is over but before you file your financial records into your stash of things you are afraid to trash file, we have a better idea for you. >> editors at kiplinger's magazine have compiled a list of what to keep and what to toss for the post-tax clean-up. and for those who haven't actually paid their taxes -- yet. kim langford is the contributing editor. nice to see you. thanks for being here. >> this is one of those things you worry about. you are afraid to throw anything away because inevitably someone will say do you have that special piece of paper? >> or we need to see it so you can buy this house. >> i think people keep way more than they need to because they're just afraid. there is real specific advice about what to keep and what to toss.

and you can toss some things and feel comfortable with it. >> but for years it was five years you keep your taxes. the last five years. this year i thought -- they say keep three. now you're saying keep those no matter what. >> keep just the returns. that's just those few pieces of paper, the 1040 and those things that go along with it. don't need to keep all those receipts beyond three years but just the form. can be clues for some things in the future. for example, if you are applying for a mortgage, sometimes they ask for several years back. if you are applying for disability insurance or going out on claim. or a lot of times when you finally sell an investment, you have to figure out what you purchased them for and these can give you some clues so you don't have to pay more taxes later. >> in this digital age, so much is on line. even i know that, hoda. right? >> which is shocking. >> why is it a big deal? it's in cyberspace for you in you need it. >> the key is to keep those returns. that you can keep online. i say go back to all your tax records that you kept for the last few years and put them online. >> then do a back-up so they're

there. >> exactly. >> what other things should we hang on to? you say your home's purchase price and major home improvements. what are you saving there? >> most people these days aren't having to pay taxes on their home sale gains. there's big exclusion. if you've lived out of two out of the past five years. but if you move before then you may have to pay taxes on your home sale and if you get a big gain on your home sale you may have to pay taxes. if you've added an extension, a deck, all of that can lower that tax bill and make a big difference. >> you also say keep records of stock and mutual fund purchases in taxable accounts. let's say -- talk about what we can throw away. we have so much junk in our houses. we can get rid of things. first you say get rid of tack documents. like what? >> all those supporting documents. all that stuff like -- >> how about just money market documents? >> anything like that. your investment documents. investment documents you can toss after three years. all of those receipts and

canceled checks that you have. the key thing is -- >> the canceled checks. >> keep them for three years because that's what you'll need because the irs has up to three years to -- >> to get you! >> what about your utility bill? >> you can toss them! after you get the next bill, the next month and you see that you've gotten credited the right amount, unless you're using it for home office deduction -- unless it is tax related, you keep it for three years. otherwise, toss it out. >> what about your credit card receipt that comes once a month? >> that at the end of the year when you get that year-end statement, you can get rid of all those. all those things you have accumulated throughout the month, after they match up, you can get rid of them. >> you should shred them and not throw them away for others to find. what about your prescription -- when you buy magazines? >> as long as it is all working out, you can get rid of that.
