>> we'll discuss that today? >> such a reaction from all of you about that. so -- we'll discuss that today. >> couples can sit and not have anything to talk about. >> nothing to say. yeah. but, yea, here's what i noticed happened since i first moved to new york in 1982. the crowds are so much -- so much noisier. >> yes. >> there used to be -- almost like golf. you just didn't -- you cheered and then, boom. there's a lot of noise. >> oh, hoda. no. >> i love that it's so rude. >> why? >> because you're not supposed to. >> it's interactive. >> i guess what, they don't know there's a bunch of people there? yes. there are a bunch of people there, but, still -- >> interrupt a serve or something, but it's fun when the crowd gets involved a little. >> would you like it if you were out there? >> you never put yourself in somebody else's -- >> i do. no. i -- i don't know because i don't know how to play. so i'm not good. i don't know what it would feel like under that pressure. when you're in it and everyone's getting it excited.

>> i'd like to hear from you. as you noticed a lack of civility in our culture. that's why i stay home. somebody can yell at me from a boat, but that's about it. where i live. >> this dovetails into diana nyad, she was the 64-year-old woman, you guys, who swam all the way from cuba to florida. >> she's 64. >> watch this. she's 64. >> hey, it's unbelievable. what are people -- >> that was the easy part of it. [ laughter ] >> so what are people doing now? they are bashing her. they are questioning the ability of it. they are questioning the validity of it. wondering if she cheated. they're saying that she might have held on to the boat. saying she had gear on that protected her from getting her face stung, clearly -- >> you know, she was saying that actually hinders her. i mean, even though it does protect her, had weighed her down in ways. some of the protective gear.

here's the thing. a lot of them were saying, well, when i swam the english channel -- i don't think there are any sharks in the english channel. i could be wrong. i've never -- i've never even swam in my pool, but i don't think there are sharks. this is the first time anybody's ever done it without a shark tank at all. shark cage, i mean. >> right. >> so let's give the woman her due. >> i think bashing -- >> why are you bashing everybody? i love when the people look for something that is wrong. awe thaw have to spoil it for me. she did something that was incredible. >> if she did it, that is wrong and she should fess up. but five vessels accompanied her on this thing. they said because there was a portion of her swim that seemed like it was way too fast, that she couldn't have done it unless she was actually holding on to one of the boats. >> she said it was a current. >> the gulf stream, it changes all the time. >> yes. >> let's give the woman -- >> give her a break. >> the benefit of the doubt and unless it is proven somehow. if you don't have any proof, don't say it. >> yeah. >> that's what i say. >> unfortunately, instead of going off getting beauty

treatments, which she need right now and deserves. i'm talking about -- you know, getting facials. getting her nails done, getting -- a four-hour massage. this woman deserves all of this. she's got to do a skype call tonight with all these naysayers who did the english channel. big deal. >> and "million second quiz" was on last night. this was the show we've been waiting for. ryan seacrest is a master. it is unbelievable. >> it is a ten day, 24 hour a day thing. >> yes. >> it's a game show. >> everyone's exhausted and they're answering questions. >> they don't know when they're getting their food, when they're showering. >> it's my idea of hell. >> i doubt there's any wine involved, hoda. >> forget it. >> didn't look like it. >> forget it. >> and not enough time to put on makeup. oh -- it's hard to understand what's going on, but it's exciting. i have to say, i didn't really know what was happening, but you can't stop watching it. it's one of those shows.
