from nbc news, this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> hello, everybody. it's booze day tuesday. it's october 15th. we're delighted you're here with us. >> tax day. >> tax day for hodie. >> for me. and the rest of the procrastinators. midnight tonight. is the irs open, even? >> i don't think so. >> okay. good. >> i understand they've suspended audits for the time being. >> oh, good. >> something good has come out of this. >> we have breaking news. we rarely start our show with breaking news. but we have some big stuff here.

amy poehler and tina fey say they will host the golden globes and not just for the next year but the next two years. >> they were terrific. they got rave reviews. almost 20 million viewers. six-year high for the show. and we'll be there this year. >> you and i are covering the red carpet? >> uh-huh. not nominated but we'll be there. >> that's how we roll. we have to get an update. this is also important news. yesterday -- >> yes, yes, yes. >> we talked about your bee sting. kath got stung by a bee over the weekend. the weird thing was from the beginning of the show to the end of the show her ankle turned into like elephantitis. weird. it kept growing and getting bigger. people kept giving us ideas of what to do. you soaked your foot in pickle juice. because some lady said it worked. >> if i soaked it for two hours like she told me to do it maybe would have worked. thank you, everybody. more than -- you want to see it? it's still pretty bad. it's still pretty darn bad.

i eventually -- i don't think you can tell. i eventually had to go to the doctor. i hate to do that. >> i know you do. >> i went to the doctor. i got a big ole painful shot in my buttocks. and another shot. that was like an antibiotic. then i got a huge thing of benadryl. i have to be on stuff for ten -- it's a big, big deal. >> you know why? it was hot to the touch. that usually means infection. you were woozy because of the benadryl. you're like -- >> yeah. i'm saying it again as well today. that i'm not responsible for anything i say or do today because i'm under medication. heavy medication. okay? >> we got a lot of comments. some people dispute it was even a bee. they said if it's -- >> i know a bee when i see a bee. >> don robson says you're wrong. >> was don robson there when i took it out of my boot and looked at it? >> she's on our facebook page and she knows. she said it wasn't a bee sting. she said if it stung multiple times it was a yellow jacket or wasp. >> it didn't sting multiple

times. it stung me once. >> honey bees sting once and then they die. yellow jackets and wasps can sting multiple times. and i think she's right. here are some of the home remedies for stings that people recommended on our facebook page. we don't know if they work. so but people say they do. baking soda and water they say work. >> baking soda is good for everything. >> yeah. >> meat tenderizer. that doesn't mean a-1 steak sauce. lavender oil. which sounds nice. banana peels, sliced onion. teabags. tug tobacco. >> sliced onion was a big one. rubbing it on the thing. chewing tobacco after you've chewed it. >> yep. and then my favorite, hemorrhoid ointment. so i could have shared bambino's preparation h. >> well said. but we have to point out that since we are part of nbc news we don't know if any of those things actually work. we didn't have time to test drive all of them this morning. >> thank you for caring. i appreciate it. what are we going to do about madonna? she's been banned from a whole chain of movie theaters. >> okay. she went to go see a very

serious film called "12 years a slave." while in there according to one of the patrons she was texting. i guess she was texting while the movie was on. if you guys have ever sat next to anyone who's texting a big warm light comes over. you can see it. it's distracting. so the person asked her to please stop texting. and she wasn't happy. >> she allegedly said right back to her, "it's for business, enslaver." >> she called the person an enslaver. in the "12 years a slave" movie. >> the ceo of the theater chain heard what happened and announced on twitter he has banned her for life from the chain's facilities. until she apologizes to movie fans. >> i do think it's distracting when you're in a theater or in broadway shows sometimes. people think they're being quiet because they're quietly texting. but that glow. >> yeah. the light is offensive. especially when you're really into a film. and you're so trying to watch for all kinds of reasons. you want to follow the plot. sometimes you miss one thing in a plot line and -- >> and it's over.

we think worse than any kind of texting is this. >> snacks. [ crinkling ] >> here's what people do. i've been guilty of this. they want to do it really slowly. they think if they go really slowly you won't hear it. you know? [ crinkling ] >> and it goes on for an hour and a half. >> rip it. rip it open. get the twizzler. okay. >> we tried to reach out to madonna for comment. we want to be fair. liz rosenberg. she's usually here every day. >> she's with her ears on. >> yes. so we haven't heard. i don't think anybody should wait very long for an apology from madonna. i don't know that that's going to be forthcoming. not in her vocabulary. >> okay, you guys. if you want one more reason to love sandra bullock, we have one. first of all, i think she's the coolest in everything and all that stuff. >> she's never looked better. >> she's never looked better. she knows all the words to

"rapper's delight." she was on this -- it's like the best thing going. she was on this uk show called "jonathan ross." he said oh, i understand you like "rapper's delight." keep in mind she's speaking to an audience that doesn't know what rapper's delight is probably. >> they might. >> the sugar hill gang from 1979? i don't know. i know every word. because i love it too. they didn't play the words to sing along to. they just played her the beat. and she sang it to the beat. >> let's crank it up so we can really hear it. >> if we could give ms. bullock the beat she has requested. >> you're not even going to play the lyrics to show that i know them? >> we'll know. ♪ >> what am i doing? ♪ i said a hip, hop ♪ bang, bang boogie, up jumps you don't stop rocking to the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat ♪ ♪ now what you hear is not a test i'm rapping to the beat ♪ ♪ and me the crew and my friends are going to try and move your feet ♪ ♪ see, i am wonder mike and i'd like to say hello ♪

♪ to the black to the white the red and the blue ♪ ♪ the purple and yellow ♪ bang, bang, the boogie to the beat ♪ ♪ the bang bang the boogie to the beat ♪ >> i can run, but i can't hide. >> by the way, she learned all those because she wanted to impress a guy in high school she liked. she said i bet you if i know all the words to "rapper's delight" he'll look across the room and see me doing the words and he'll like me. that's what she thought. >> can you imagine she was at one time that person? dying to have a guy -- some pimpled guy looking at her? >> and she knows all the words. i love that. >> hoda, hoda. speaking of words. my brain is on -- what's it called? that syntax thing? synapse. >> your synapse. >> slow. >> "the voice" was on last night, you guys. this is the best part. this is the battle rounds where people go head to head. and there is an opportunity to steal. this first one, this was so tough. there was a woman named tess ann

from jamaica. she was versus donna allen. donna allen was the oldest singer in the competition. she chose adam. wrapped her legs around him. it was this big thing. let's watch and see who won. who do you think won? ♪ you won't find him drinking at the table ♪ ♪ holding dice or staying out till 3:00 ♪ ♪ you won't ever find him being unfaithful ♪ ♪ you will find him ♪ you'll find him next to me ♪ you won't find him trying to chase the devil ♪ ♪ for money, fame or power out of greed ♪ ♪ you won't ever find him where the rest go ♪ ♪ you will find him, you'll find him next to me ♪ >> who would you have -- who would you have chosen? >> they're both really good singers. i think that lady singing right now sounds a lot like tina turner in her heyday.

i'd probably -- that's the most memorable voice. i'm only hearing a little bit. >> adam ended up choosing the other girl, tess ann. and nobody stole the other lady. >> really? hmm. that may be something they're going to regret later, hoda. remember, we played that game here. >> i know. >> you do. you got to strategize. >> watch. this is when a steal does work. this is one of the battles that ended in a steal. nick hawk versus gray. ♪ dancing in the moonlight ♪ take me down like i'm a domino ♪ ♪ every second is a highlight ♪ when we touch don't ever let me go ♪ >> all right. all right, all right, all right, all right. winner of this battle is gray. >> gray is the winner of this battle! >> this honestly mes the world to me to be here. >> oh, adam, you screwed up so bad. >> oh, my god!

>> wow. >> how about blake saving the day again? how about -- >> as if he rode in on his steed. >> i cried. >> yes. >> oh, my god. he saved that kid. >> he can do no wrong with hoda. what else have we got? are we out of time? >> i think we're out of time. >> we just want to encourage everybody to go online to klgandhoda.com. because we really do want to have you be a part of our favorite teacher. >> yes, yeah, yeah. >> go online, vote for your favorite. has it become okay to put other people down? >> it'll never be okay. but people are doing it more and more and more. >> yeah. we have nothing but love for these fine men coming up. after that, who are they? we've got our guys panel back. >> look. there's the divorced one, bob. we'll be right back.

all right. how many of you are guilty of sitting around with your friends hating on a reality show or an actress or even gossiping about another girlfriend? >> we don't know anyone like that. >> nobody. >> it's become all too common to put other people down. so has it become okay to be a hater? "cosmopolitan" magazine. covered this topic. joyce chang is its executive editor. and she's here along with psychologist dale atkins to reveal what hating actually does for us or to us, ladies? i don't know. >> hello. >> can hating do something good for us? >> well, it's kind of a double-edged sword. you know, on the one hand it can make you -- it can give you a temporary little boost of your ego. and sometimes when you pile on it allows you to form a little community, whether it's on facebook or twitter. >> yeah. but it's so mean. how can that be good in any way? >> it's not good for you. i'll tell you that much. it's not only not good for the person you're sending all this negative information about, but it's not good for you. it's not good for your brain. it's not good for your altitude.

you have a tendency to look at the world through a different lens actually when you are consumed with this negativity. so let's say you're having this little negative party. then you go out and you look at things and people differently. >> what about this? i've been in the manicure place. everyone's lined up. someone says oh, my god, did you see that interview with so and so? everyone says oh, my god. it doesn't seem like there's any harm in it. it seems like you're expressing your opinion about something happening. maybe you don't like the person. or you thought oh, my god, i can't believe she went out with no clothes on. it was terrible. what's so bad about something like that? >> well, actually, sometimes it's just a conversation starter. and it gives you a point of bonding and connection. >> right. >> from there if you can take it and move into a more positive direction, whether it's that topic or something else, it's just an icebreaker. it's when it consumes you rather than using it as a springboard into something else. >> when you're consumed enough to start your own website that says ihatemileycyrus.com or something, i mean, that really says a lot about you, doesn't it? >> it says more about you and

what is not happening in your own life. >> is it a jealousy issue? >> often it's a jealousy issue. that often is underscored by not feeling comfortable with your own life and needing to elevate yourself by putting someone else down. >> isn't there a difference between doing that to somebody you see on tv or someone who seems holier than thou and talking about a girlfriend? those seem to me to be two different categories. >> those are totally two different categories. when you weigh on on a tv show, and you're like what's going on with that character, what's going on with that plot line or you see a reality show where something is happening, it's completely different than when you talk about a real person who -- you know, that's where you cross the line into bullying sometimes. >> reality shows are real people. well, they're supposed to be. >> playing a certain kind of role and a certain kind of part. >> you're in a conversation and your friends are like oh, our friend is such a blah, blah, blah and you're sitting there. what should you do? >> i'm so glad you asked this question. because you have a choice and it's all about choices. and you can either continue and have this spiral go down or you

can back up and you can say, you know, i'm just not comfortable with this. if you're not willing to do that you can just change the topic. >> that's what i do. i change it. >> and you can go somewhere else. because each of us have the power when we're in a group of people to change the topic. it's all about opinion. it's all about who's got their dog in the race at that moment. >> it is hard, though, to say in a group, you guys, i'm just not comfortable. your whole group would be like, what's up with her? you know what i mean? and sometimes you -- >> but maybe it would also convict the people that, you're right, she's our friend. we shouldn't be talking about her like that. >> haters is such a part of our vernacular now. >> i hate the word "hate." >> it's actually easy to throw into conversation, just be like you guys, do we really have to be such haters? and it just makes it light and it turns it around and you take back sort of the potency of what a hater really is. >> i think what joyce is saying is so important. we have this what we call the helper's high. where your brain really changes when you are trying to be kind to people and talk kindly. there's also a hater's low. and you can feel the energy change. >> you sure can. >> you can just say, wait a minute.

let's just take a step back and let's just think about what's happening to us. because it comes back to you. but i think you can say, you know, we've done this. now let's go there. what else is going on? >> interesting article, by the way. >> thank you very much, ladies. see you next time. >> get your burning relationship questions ready, everybody. we've lined up our hot guys who can't wait to tell all. >> oh, and he doesn't want to be anything but a great performer on "today." you know who we have here? multiplatinum singer/songwriter gavin degraw. first these messages. crisp, fall rocky mountain air makes an epic journey through pines, wildflowers, and aspens. and is matched only by our journey to capture its scent. crafted by expert perfumers for your home, air wick mountain woodlands and crisp air is part of our limited edition national park collection. airwick. the craft of fragrance.

crowd. >> hi, i'm cindy. i have a question. do men prefer a woman who's got an ego or a woman who's more modest? >> oh. >> wow. >> that's a great question. >> well, not too much ego. but confidence is sexy. you know, it's like, i don't like it when women are always tearing themselves down. you see that a lot. you know, i'm too fat, i'm too this. because most of the time if we are with you, whatever you got, we like that. if you think you're fat, hey, i like that fat. stop talking about that. >> confidence is key. no question about it. if you -- i love a woman that knows what they want, feels great about themselves, has that great positive energy. >> shawn? >> i don't like to have to constantly be telling them, no, you don't look fat in this. no, you don't look fat in this. no, you don't look fat in this. no, you don't. >> but what if she looks fat in it? >> i'm not going to tell her. >> she doesn't want to hear that. >> she's not going to hear it from me. i'm not going to say, yeah, of course you look fat in that. >> i'd like to know. >> you would not.

no, you would not. >> yes! >> but you don't look fat. >> would you still go out with me if i told you the truth? >> i'm thinking of my husband. i've been with him for 27 years. he's not going anywhere. but you know what i'm saying. >> you can't handle the truth. >> you can't handle the truth. next question from kelci, k-e-l-c-i. okay. how can i get my husband to understand that money isn't the only important thing for our family? i understand it's important for well-being. a paycheck doesn't make us whole or raise our daughter to be a great person." a lot of guys are just focused on work. >> she's leaning in. >> she can tell him in the middle of sex. she can just whisper in his ear and go, "money's not everything." >> or scream it. >> then he'll remember it. >> money's not important until you don't have any money. then it's everything. that's the truth. >> but you know what, though? it's like sometimes you -- you can have experiences that will drive home the fact that there are things more important than money. you know what you do? one morning get up before he gets up. take everybody out of the house. the whole family. just go. just let him miss you guys for a while.

>> that's weird. >> or she could get a super high-paying job. then he wouldn't worry about it. >> that's true, too. okay. >> another quick one from our crowd. >> hi, i'm tara. i'm wondering, should women color their hair or gray gracefully? >> i want bob guinea's answer. >> i'm saying gray gracefully. there you go. i'm putting it out there. unless you're still in your 20s. then color it, please. >> you know what i found? i found that most -- that's the thing that makes the woman happy. like my wife, she's always making sure that her grays aren't showing. getting rid of the grays. she's probably going to be mad at me for even mentioning this right now. but it's like i don't have a problem with it. >> as my son says, dad, there are products now. there's products. >> we're going to take a commercial break, guys. we'll come right back with more. >> shawn wanted to say something. >> shawn is coming up. don't worry. your time is not gone.

>> the whole idea that there's a percentage that we are aware of, half the time when i zone you out i'm noeven aware that i did that. so as far as i'm concerned, zero percent. ask my wife. >> it's football season right now. we got football thursday night now. sunday. monday. >> you're busy. you're busy. >> we are distracted some of those times. >> we don't want to tune you out. but the amount that women talk, you can't physically listen to it all. i'm not -- >> oh. >> it has been statistically proven that women, really they talk more than us. they insert an amount of letters and words that we can't even -- >> we think we've heard it all. but then you get a quiz later. that's what happens. honey, we're doing that thing tonight i told you about four months ago one time. and you're like, oh, yeah. that definitely -- i bought this stuff for it. then you find out -- >> that other question. what are you thinking right now? the moment you ask that question you made me forget what i was just thinking. >> okay.

word so you don't have to say i hate your parents, get them out right now. >> help? >> right. >> go up to them in the morning and go fish sticks. and she goes, okay, mom, you have to go. >> i love to watch shawn. >> it depends on what your background is or whatever. having your in-law come could mean you're going to eat more regularly. you're going to have -- >> like when my mother comes up or when her parents come, usually that means that's some free date nights. >> that's nice. >> what are you looking for in a girl? since we have 30 seconds. >> what am i looking for? >> hopefully a woman. >> i'm looking for a teammate. you know? i'm looking for a teammate. i'm someone who's working -- i feel like working almost 100% of the time. to some degree. essentially there's a difference between a job and a career. a career you can't clock out of ever. you know? so pretty much all the time i've got work on my mind. really all the time. i'm sure a lot of jobs are like that, too. literally if i slack off at all

my career might suffer. i really need a teammate when it comes to a relationship. >> then you're better off not dating right now, honestly. until it calms down. >> are you -- >> no, no. >> he makes it good, though. somebody who's a partner and is in on your -- knows what you're doing. knows your business. >> an employee is what he needs. >> i've got to say all these new rules. coolness is the number one factor for me. you know what i mean? can you just roll with it? with my kids and my job and -- >> all right. don't add more drama. >> right. be cool. >> guess what? >> be in the huddle with you. >> all right. shawn is still talking. >> a song from gavin degraw. shawn is still talking. >> how to save some money by taking your fall garden into spring. >> and fun gadgets that will gear you up to stay in shape. carly's with us coming up after this.
