from nbc news, this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> yes, everybody. it is that day. it is booze day, tuesday, january 28th. and we have rock legend here today, everybody. we have mr. meatloaf hself. >> you know, it is interesting that meatloaf is on broadway, right? or off broadway or something. >> vegas, yes. >> but i do think -- >> he's been brought back because he was such a huge success last time at planet

hollywood. >> he was a huge success. he said it was more music than acting. but i would love to see that man do a little acting on stage too. >> he considers himself an actor more than a singer, which surprised me. he's a very nice man. i remember i was nervous to interview him the first time, which was years ago. and he's so normal. >> and real, yeah. >> i never met a person named meatloaf and thought he's got to be weird. he's not. he's such a nice guy. >> our friend matthew hussey and e. jean carroll. not a crazier duo. >> it is fireworks all the time. a little happy birthday to cinnamon lee, remember the puppy that when you got blake -- >> yes. >> here is cinnamon lee turning 1 year old yesterday. >> oh, my gosh. you remember how little cinnamon lee was back in the day? that's him now? >> yes. >> look how darling he is. >> so cute. i remember when you held him in your hand -- >> and gave him to my friend collin, yeah. that was cute. >>he cutest little dog.

>> and now this is going to upset hoda very much. there has been a backlash. people are taking umbrage now to the bare bikini line. bad news because landing strips is seen their day apparently and is seems like the brazilian is taking the back seat to the fuller look or some of it just call it tending your garden. >> you know what, it is because the show "girls," which is a trend setter for everything. on "girls," everybody is naked, they have been flashing a fuller downstairs. >> yes. >> and what do the rest of us do? because we have already been doing it and it is too late now for many of us because when you laser it, the party's over. okay. there's no going back. >> i don't know. i don't know. you know how i feel about that. i said it one time and i won't say it again. >> i won't remember. >> just tend to your garden. do whatever it takes to tend to your garden.

>> you know what's funny? you tend to stay in your lane, and then the world goes away from your lane and then the world comes back. that's what always happens. >> that's the problem with fads and trends, hoda. >> they last for a minute. >> just stand apart from the crowd, be a proud woman. tend your garden. stay out of trouble, you know? >> american apparel -- >> this is so weird. >> i'll let you tell this. >> they caused some controversy. they decided to display mannequins with visible pubic hair. >> she said it. >> in the windows. and they had it with underwear, so you could see it. there is underwear and a lot of these -- now that's what they're doing because that's what's trendy. we don't have any shots of it because we don't -- we're not allowed. but anyway. >> use your imagination. so people -- the whole industry has come up around -- i don't care. >> you don't care? >> i really don't care what people do. a lot of people will save a lot of money. >> you're right. >> you're right. >> we have already way too much

unemployment, going to put a lot of -- all of these ladies who came from brazil, to show you how to do it, you know, what are they going to do now to pay their bills? huh? all the people they trained. how many people i wonder make their living doing hair removal? all parts of the body? what do you think? >> i don't know. i think it is a lot of people. >> i hope the president brings it up in his state of the union tonight. that will be important. >> this is one of those fun little surprise videos, a lot of great videos on youtube and this is a great one. there is this guy named voss ali who decided to surprise his fiancee with a stuffed animal. >> with a stuffed animal. >> not just any stuffed animal. >> not just any stuffed animal. it was a bear she had many, many years ago, that had been damaged over the years, because -- >> they are, if you love them that much, they're in threads by the time you're an adult. >> missing an eye, a nose. >> everything. >> anyway, just look at the reaction when she realized what it was. >> oh! oh, my god.

are you serious? >> yes. >> i smelled him and i knew. >> i smelled him and i knew. >> oh, my gosh. oh, my gosh. >> what is his name? >> best gift ever. >> i could cry. it is whitey. >> i know. that's true. my daughter had a little paddy, little huff-a-lump that my mom and dad gave her and it's in threads. i wrote a song called ratty patty and her disco suit because she was loved so much. we had had to put her in a bear suit. she's been loved so much. but here's the question, we would love to know from you all. how would you feel about having someone take it and restore it or do you love it because -- we tried to do that to -- we have

sown paddy a little bit. if she looked brand-new, i don't thincas would be happy. this lady was, but -- >> the smell. that was interesting. she smelled it. when i was a kid, i loved stuffed animals, i had tons of them lined up on my bed. the last one was in college, a virginia tech t-shirt on him, but i remembered how cozy you felt surrounded by all your stuffed animals. >> brings your childhood back at you. let us know. what do you think about this too? >> alara baldwin -- she is the yoga instructor, married it alec baldwin. she decided she was going to do something, take a photograph of had herself doing yoga every single day in a different location. seems fine. anyway, she decided to take one while she was on a plane, flying. there she is. and the passengers seem a little wigged out, especially the two behind her. anyway, she decided to post the picture of herself doing yoga every single day in 2014.

i wonder if she told them what she was up to. >> listen, i need to stretch. it is a long flight. coming or going from ireland, i think. or maybe that's his daughter's name. i don't know. somebody said ireland. i don't know why we showed you. slow news day. around here we're happy for a slow news day. >> yes, we are. >> last time you went to the movies, you go to the theater, get in your seat and the previews start. okay. they did a study and found there are 7 to 8 previews -- seven to eight. and now they're trying to get the theaters to make the trailers shorter, no longer than two minutes, not 2:30, and they want the trailers only to be shown within five months of the movie's release. sometimes you see a movie and it is 2015, 2016, coming soon. i've been to the movie theater, you get your seat, and in new york you have to be early to sit with who you came with.

i've gone to movies 15 to 20 minutes before and you have to sit there and they have to sit there. >> you've also gone alone, which you're proud of. >> i do that. because it is dark and you're by yourself anyway. really you're just watching. nothing wrong with that. >> nothing wrong with it. i'm just asking what is -- you can't legislate that, right? people don't -- theater owners don't have to play the previews, do they? are they legally required to? >> i don't -- usually i get -- after the fourth one, everyone goes -- you hear the audience collectively sigh, like, oh, my god, another preview. i do like them when there is a movie i'm crazy about seeing, every preview is usually exactly in that genre and i think i can see that, i can see that, i can see that. >> i hate when they give away the best stuff, though. they have to be careful not to do that. i don't like it when you buy a dvd. the other day i watched such a great movie. i loved it, called 42. the jackie robinson story, which is just such a good movie, but i had no idea there were like four previews on it. and --

>> do they let you fast-forward? >> on this one i could, but still. >> 20 minutes of previews before a movie is too long. >> especially if you got there 20 minutes ahead because you're a new yorker and get a seat. and we're sorry, there is nothing we can do about it. all right. does this describe your workplace? you hear swearing everywhere, every other word is the f word or whatever it is. >> "the wolf on wall street" started this conversation because there were more than 500 f-bombs in that. [ bleep ]. >> yeah. and we want to know do you think this kind of language is the new normal at work? >> i hope not. depends where you work. >> probably depends on the workplace. in newsrooms around the country, it is something you hear. and it is also something you pick up. because you hear it. no. >> you know, most prone to it. >> if you want to know if you're somebody who is prone to cursing and you're not sure, all you have to do is have somebody

sneak up behind you and scare the you know what out of you. and the first thing out of your mouth -- [ bleep ] -- tells you what you are, because it is terrifying. >> boo. >> and i'm always afraid on the air, when i burn my finger, that's the first thing, put your hand on the stove -- [ bleep ]. >> what do you say >> that. that's when you know. >> some perts say cursing is a sign of insecurity. >> it is not. [ bleep ] >> but others say -- >> that was very close to an ftc fcc violation. violation. >> others say when you use humor, swearing can be a good stress reliever. i think it probably can. how are you feeling? >> any who. >> maybe it is because of your bra. >> it could be. >> we have to talk about it tomorrow. we'll bring it up. there is a brahat apparently can tell you whether you're in love or not. >> if you're turned on. >> yes. if you're so excited about your bra just pops open on its own.

>> i run everything from an ipad. >> what? >> yeah. >> you know how to do that? >> it didn't work properly before. it worked for two shows and then shut itself off. i have like 32 potential questions. when someone of them have 16 or 17 pictures. they wanted know do an 85-minute show and i looked at them and laughed. i said, first of all -- >> that's two of your songs. >> exactly right. so we kept running and they had a show following and we were supposed to give them a half hour to turn over. and one night we went about seven minutes before they were supposed to go on. they were the -- the cast was great, the producers of the show that didn't like it. >> you to like the singing better or the acting part, when you're on stage? >> i like the acting. yeah. there is some stuff i love singing, "bat out of hell" i love singing, "revved up," "paradise," i love. >> has your voice withstood the test of time? >> i still do "bat out of hell"

and "took the words" and "paradise." as you get older, your voice gets deeper. people, i was 26 when i recorded that record. so people comment -- they listen to "bat out of hell" all the way from st. louis and when i get up there, my voice is deeper, they say, your voice is deep, you don't sound like you used to, well, no. >> i don't look the same either. what about that? >> i look better now. but, you know, as you were doing all your intros and your opening, what was first one about the teddy bear? >> the little teddy bear. what was your thought on that? >> they restored it. >> yeah. >> i want to know where that is, because i want to send myself to that place. to be restored. >> okay. what did you think about the brazilian waxing going out of favor? >> i couldn't hear that. brazilian waxing, well, you know, it has been ouof favor with me forever. and the one thing about the f-bombs, i did a movie with sam jackson, and i did, like, five scenes. i had 72. >> yourself? >> yes.

>> not counting sam? >> not counting sam. he had a lot more. the problem with that is is not necessarily saying it, it is when you have to go, you know, loop it -- >> post production. >> post production to get rid of them for the air playing version. >> you have to say darn. >> after 72 you have to come up with a whole bunch more stuff. that's the problem with that. and "the wolf of wall street," i love previews before the theaters, before the movie, on dvd they suck. >> i agree. >> i agree with meatloaf on everything. >> and one more. i forget. anyway, so, yeah, we're back to -- it is a really good show. and, you know how you can judge stuff like that? you're not asking me any questions, but i only have a limited time. and i love talking. >> how is everything about the show? we'll fade to black eventually.

>> so, anyway. so it allows me just to be nuts. >> let's test your great acting ability, okay? >> okay. >> we're going to do a dramatic read of one of your songs. >> kathie lee will start it. >> and now our bodies are close and tight. it never felt so good. it never felt so -- >> excuse me. >> it never felt so right. >> that was really good. >> i think we're going to go. i think that's all we got. >> another one. >> that was really good. i can't follow that. >> hoda has a line. >> oh. >> and we're glowing like the -- >> oh, my god. >> -- on the edge of a night. glowing like the metal on the edge of the knife. and here's your line. >> i'm speechless for once in my life. okay. okay. come on, baby, let's hold on tight, yeah. rock my world, baby! >> all righty then.

we're back with matthew hussey and e. jean carroll who will answer your questions just ahead. >> before we get to the ones you sent in, we wanted to bring in someone from our crew who had a question. this is mary, married ten years. what is your question for them? >> my question is, how around valentine's day, the girls get very excited, and they want

to -- they expect a lot. so how do we -- and the gentlemen -- lower our expectations so we don't get disappointed for valentine's day? >> okay. valentine's day is the super bowl for female champions. it is the one day every year that women are loved and adored. the most erotic festival all year. >> wow. >> so, here are the rules. never expect a man to bring you flowers. never expect a man to bring you champagne. the less you expect a man to do on valentine's day, the happier you will be. >> matthew? >> here's my -- i would say measure him on balance with the rest of the year instead of measuring him on one day. if he's a great guy the rest of the year, who cares if he doesn't care about valentine's day. if he's an idiot the rest of the year, valentine's day doesn't make up for it. so -- >> so true. >> one day and every other day of the year.

what you have to make sure is this man celebrates you every day. if you get a chance to celebrate that in a special way on valentine's, great. for damn sure, don't listen to every other woman out there and their expectations. >> should you let them know, should you somehow hint you want something nice for valentine's day or just wait? >> don't hint you want something nice. hint you're excited about sharing the day together. >> with him, yes. and let's remember, there are two sides to this love relationship. he has expectations. he's every bit as much a part of this relationship. right? >> very happy. >> every day is valentine's day. >> oh. >> good guy and good lady. >> is your husband here? >> no. i hope he's watching from his office. >> all righty. thank you very much. we'll be back with those guys. rules to live by if you want to clear the clutter, hoda, once and for all. >> and jill martin with all the must haves for valentine's day for everyone you love. first, your local news. >> my teddy bear.

"today's relationships" is brought to you by hershey's spreads. we are back with more of today on this booze day tuesday. and "today's relationships," all your burning questions will be answered. >> here they are again, the dynamic duo, "elle" advice columnist e. jean carroll and matthew hussey, host of "love life" with matthew hussey. >> we love them both. >> yes, we do. are you ready? >> ready. >> let's get ready. caitlin is our first person. she wrote in a letter to us, how do i deal with my husband's ex and her family as she is unfortunately my stepkids' mother. they're giving us a rough time. >> the most vague question anyone ever heard. here's the thing, you can't control that situation. and that's why it is inherently scary, because, a, you feel like you're on the outside of it,

and, b, you can't control it. this is one of those situations in life where it actually pays to be the strong silent type. you have to kind of be the one who keeps a low profile. don't overcommunicate with those guys and instead of focusing on how he's performing, focus on how you're investing in the situation with him. in other words, if you're being strong for him -- >> be supportive. >> you're being supportive, you're encouraging him, spend time with the kids, do what you got to do, he'll know your his real teammate. >> whatever makes the child happy. what keeps this child happy and calm, and looking forward to seeing her mother-in-law, whatever, whatever keeps the child happy, that's -- >> that can -- stepkids can be teenagers. >> little brats. >> we don't know what's actually going on. >> i bet they are. >> question two. beth is 58 years old, i'm single with a marginal at best dating life. my friends tell me i'm too picky. i'm happy to say i usually get

asked for a second date. i think by the second date you know if there aren't any sparks. . am i not giving it enough time. >> i think you're not picky enough here. if you're going to the second date, isn't quite sure if she likes the guy the first time, now -- i think you have to be even more picky or else you end up with somebody less fabulous than matthew. picky, i think -- we're picky for a reason. we're trying to choose the best husband, the best father for our children, our happiest future. so be as picky as you want. >> do you know all that in one meet? >> here's the problem. this question is a complete red herring because she's clearly not going on enough dates with different guys. you can't say the same question as i never get chemistry, i have a marginal dating life. you don't get to have it both ways. clearly she's gone on one or two dates a year and the rest of the time it's i'm not seeing anyone. and it is easy to say you don't have chemistry when you go on a couple of dates.

>> she could be having six or seven dates a week. >> no way. no way. all right, let me tell you something, if she's -- if she's going -- if she's going on six or seven dates a week, her problem is she doesn't bring any chemistry to it. it has nothing to do with him. >> we're offending pretty much everybody today. >> i have thousands of women come to my events. usually when somebody says i never get any chemistry, it is usually indicative of they don't bring chemistry or they're not going for the guys they like, they're going for the safe option that will never reject them. >> so what -- >> men are not picky enough. >> all right. here is this. angie asked, we lived together for four and a half years and he has yet to clean. i would like to know how to approach this concern. four and a half years. this is a slam dunk. you don't like our people, hussey. >> again, firstly, the fact she hasn't told him in four and a

half years says more about her than it does about him. >> game over. next question. >> the second point is there is so much she's not saying in this question. this question is a misdirect. because you can't be the type of -- >> matthew, you can't jump into all these women's heads and just assume -- >> after four and a half years of not communicating, you think that's her biggest problem in the relationship. >> you know those little yellow gloves. get two pairs of those. make two martinis, turn up the music, hand him -- and go in that bathroom and work that ring around the tub. that's what you do. that's what you do. >> no. e. jean, this is not going to be solved by a pair of rubber gloves. i know most of your questions are solved in that manner

somehow, but that's not how this one's going to get solved. this is not about a woman who can't get her guy to clean. this is about a woman who can't communicate with her guy. solve that in the relationship. >> you always give women a bad name, matthew. >> trust me, i'd be giving the men a bad name if they were asking the questions. >> you two make a great couple. >> matthew will be back on valentine's day to answer your questions. go to klgandhoda.com and click the submit button to enter your questions. do you have piles and magazines and letters in every corner of your house? >> yes, she does. >> i do. >> tips to organize your space and mind. hope your a listening to me, mom. with valentine's day on your mind, jill has gifts to melt anyone's heart. >> all right after this. a relaxing trip to florida.ake you know? just to unwind. but we can only afford one trip this year, and his high school reunion is coming up in seattle. everyone's going. then we heard about hotwire... and realized we could actually afford to take both trips.

once and for all. stephanie sisco for "real simple" magazine is here with rules to get you organized for good. >> hey, stephanie. >> she has rules and if we just follow these simple rules, maybe we would all be organized. >> yes. >> it can help get us started. >> you say one in, one out what does that mean? >> when you bring something new into your home, get rid of something else. you buy a new top, you go to hang it up in your closet, get rid of one you may not have worn in over a year. >> a year is what you -- if i haven't worn that in a year, chances are i'm not going to wear it. >> definitely with clothing. >> one thing i do is whenever i'm trying to clean out one area, i'm, like, i have like a box of stuff and i take it and put it in the other room and shove it under the bed because this room's clean and that's out of sight. >> thou shalt not transfer clutter. that's rule number two. don't shuffle the stuff from room to room. if you take the time to move it, you might as well spend your time more wisely and deal with the problem. >> what do you do with it? you don't want to get rid of it.

you don't know where to put it. >> it is paper piles, you go through and open the mail and just -- >> she doesn't like to open the mail. >> thank you. the next one is a lot of times, i do this, you have two or three sets of tweezers, scissors, a lot of extra stuff laying around. >> don't want duplicates. duplicates are problems. get rid of multiples and say you have a corkscrew, bring home a new corkscrew, get rid of the old one. >> don't go crazy, stephanie. now you're just being ridiculous. >> who invited her? all right. >> clearly she's never seen our show. >> you say it is important to have a place -- you call it a place for nothing. >> exactly. at "real simple", we're not about perfection, we're about reality. we suggest keeping a spot where you can dump the stuff temporarily that you don't have time or energy to deal with and then once that spot builds up, that's when you take the time to put the stuff away. >> a catch all. >> i got this thing from ikea, a huge thing and it closes up so you don't know what's in it.
