from nbc news, this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb, from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> hello, everybody. it's try day friday. march 28th. and we hope you're going into a really, really fun weekend. hoda is going to be working. i'm going to be working. we'll tell you about that in a little bit. >> yes, we will. have you ever been on a plane or on a train or in the store and you're next to someone on the phone and the person is talking -- >> like this? >> so loudly. >> yeah. >> okay. so if that ever annoyed you, we have something funny for you to

see. there is a company called mediocre films. and they specialize -- >> you love them already, right? >> they specialize in pranks they post on youtube. this is what happens when a guy approaches some loud cell phone talker in disney land. take a look. >> i'm just about to go get lunch, ride a ride, i think. what are you doing? >> hopefully we get it done. >> i love getting it done. >> are you talking to me. >> no, no. i'm on the phone, sorry. >> we got here after 10. it was fine. >> so it was good. you're missing traffic. >> how is riley doing? >> riley is great. you know riley. you know how riley is. can you hear me? i don't think they serve food in the tiki room. he's doing what? that's weird. why would he -- why would he do that? this thing called cell phone crashing. i was answering what you were saying.

>> that's great. >> you're the guy that does the thing -- >> i'm the guy that does the thing. >> you were answering me. >> a little bit. >> that's genius. >> yeah. >> that is funny. >> is nothing more frustrating than hear having a phone conversation, you're like, what is she saying? what did she say? i want to know. >> i can't get over the people who have the thing in their ear and you can't see it. and they're walking along and they're, like, i told you five times and i'm not saying it again. you're going, like, you never told me once. you think it is your fault, your fault. >> you can't discern from crazy or someone on the phone, you know? >> thank goodness there is philip because he can always tell us. in sunday's new york times social qs column, he had it covered. >> what you should say to a co-worker -- >> what? >> who speaks very loudly and happens to be in the cubicle next to you, okay? now, this person said the colleague also does not love criticism.

and we all have been around it at work. people sit close together in cubes, they're on the phone, everyone has got a conversation, all very important, and sometimes the person next to you is too loud. what would you do if someone who is very sensitive happens to be a loud talker. >> get another job. yeah. philip wright said he's outraged every time his partner tells him he's speaking too loudly in a restaurant. >> he did speak loudly. >> he does. he does. i don't know. you know, i can't believe anybody gets anything done on wall street. when they're all yelling and they're all on the phone and they're all -- >> what would you say, if i was -- you don't mind, i'm on the -- >> yeah. that's hard. >> nobody likes criticism. >> some people are loud. we had a few guests on, the ones who talk really loudly and they're right next to us and we don't know what to say. often we're like, wow. >> but the good thing is we know they'll be gone in three minutes. >> for the most part, it's fine. >> i remember doing live shots

in front of fires. >> those kind of live shots. >> no, the kind i used to do when i was a journalist. >> an award winning journalist. >> when you went to a huge event, reporters are lined up there is one -- like this close and each person as soon as 6:00 hits, everyone gets cued at the same time and it is like this cacophony, everybody starts talking at the same time. >> you got to keep thinking about what you -- >> very hard not to repeat what the person next to you -- there was a fire. there was a fire. i'm, like, oh, my god, i'm saying what she was saying. >> you're thinking, they're better than i am. >> how did they get that info. i didn't know they caught the guy. they're literally two inches away. >> do you ever stop in the middle and go, they did? where did they get him? who was it? >> they pull out and show there are tons of reporters all standing there. >> do you miss it, hoda, at all? be honest? are you happy with me? do you miss the fires and the murders and things?

>> i didn't in the beginning think i would miss all of it. since not covering tragedy and scary things, i feel happier and maybe it is because i'm ignorant. maybe i'm just -- like i -- it is more fun not to go deep on sad things and, look, i had my share of sad things, i covered them, lived through them, but there is something nice about making people feel better instead of telling them things that are going to make them feel depressed. >> enough of the other people are doing that. we don't do that. >> we don't do that. >> i don't care what anybody says. i adore you. >> what are people saying? >> they love you. women feel, and i could have told you this, i thought it was a little earlier than that, women feel invisible by the time they're 51 years old. do you ever feel invisible? >> that's an interesting question. we all have been through in our 20s where you don't even realize you're hot, you have no idea, and then when you're 30, you

look back of you in your 20s and you go, my god, and you keep going all the way, why am i complaining at 40 when i'm 50, 49 now -- >> we'll have a big old birthday for you in august. there is a big -- a new survey done by the herbal remedies company. they found that most women claim to feel invisible toward the other sex. other women still check you out, probably. >> i think a little, if you look pretty or like -- >> or smile. it is fun to smile at somebody and they're just stunned that you're smiling. you know what i love to do? >> what? >> get on an elevator in new york, hey, how's everybody? are you all having a good day? yeah. people are so stunned. >> you're right. you're right. the whole invisible thing, i do remember clearly, like, when i first moved to new york, i

didn't know anyone and i wasn't -- i hadn't been on the air so no one -- no one would have any reason to come up and say hello. i walked into a cocktail party and i'll never forget how awkward i felt and i was trying to get in on conversations and it is so weird, you're like, hey, how are you doing? and they're like this, good, good. and i'm, like, okay, let's go to the next one. all you want to do is leave. sometimes you're standing while activity is going on around you and you have a glass of wine and you're all kind of alone. it is a weird feeling to do it. >> now are cell phones. now you can pretend you're busy or take out a cell phone and check your messages or play candy crush. >> which, by the way -- i didn't know. >> did money buy you any? she does not know the name of her investment -- >> i never had anyone to do that, so his name is matt money. i told him the only request i ever made to him, ever, was buy candy crush. because i like it. i don't know if he bought it. i hope he didn't listen to me. it was a mistake. it didn't do well. how is it possible? >> i don't know. this is one of those things that everybody does and bit time i'm

mildly interested, it is a fad that has passed. i love it. i still don't know what candy crush is and i don't care about tv shows, i find out -- it is the last -- it's been on for 12 years and it is last episode, thank god i never got into it. how did i survive? i've never seen an episode of any of them. >> it is true. and then everyone is crushed when they're over and you're moving right along. >> doesn't upset me one bit. >> this is a big one. the olson twins are adorable. what do you think of people wearing socks with sandals? here is the olson twins getting off the plane. they had, like, tube socks, sort of, with those birkenstocks. anyway, they apparently -- everybody knows on the plane how cold it gets. if you have sandals, you're freezing. >> a big pair of cozy socks and put them own and take them off and put your shoes on before you leave? >> a fashion trend -- >> that's a trend, i never owned a pair of birkenstocks.

>> me either. >> they came and went six times. i don't think they have gone, have they? >> it may be hip among the kids. there is a disney show called so random. a musical tribute to the fashion trends. take a look. ♪ do you mind my eyes are up here ♪ ♪ but it ain't fair i'm rocking crazy fresh footwear ♪ ♪ bringing back socks and sandals ♪ ♪ bring them back sock and sandals ♪ ♪ what, what, what socks and sandals ♪ >> i see an ihoda. >> no, no, no. friday funny. >> let's do it! we're running out of time. >> no, we're not. >> a teenager looking for work walked up to a nice looking home and knocked on the door. the owner answered, he said, excuse me, sir, sorry to bother you, do you have any work for me today. the owner said, if you go around back, you will see a gallon of paint and a clean paintbrush.

if you paint my porch in the back of the how i'll give you some cash. thanks, said the kid. i'll take you up on that. around the corner he went and started the paint job. he returned to the house to inform the owner. finished already, said the owner? good, sit down, i'll get you the money i owe you. as the teenager sat there waiting to be paid, he decided to correct the owner on the one mistake he made. he said, just so you know, it is not a porsche you got back there, it is a bmw. >> oh! that's a good one. time for our johnson's baby of the week, new moms and adorable new additions to their families. >> the first johnson's baby of the week is madeleine claire neff born in houston, texas, on february 5th and her mom renee says she likes the spotlight and having her photo taken. >> and elias christopher jonathan gahagan was born on february 12th, weighing 6 pounds, 7 ounces. his mom offers these words of wisdom, encourage all talents in

she got tired of death and destruction. you're doing happy with kathie lee. that's the kind of guy i want to be married to. i don't want to be married to -- done, out. yes, out. >> you're so ruthless. >> courtney says, at the beginning of the relationship dating, you meet a guy, sparks fly, the passion and chemistry is there. guys will text and call all the time, following the initial meeting and then it slowly fades off. sometimes the guy even just disappears. is that that they're no longer interested, the conversation just can't be sustained via text or they're truly busy with other things? >> no, generally it is not any of the last ones. it is he's not interested. the more comfort and truth there, though, is that oftentimes he could be. the reason we often aren't interested in someone is because they represent too much of one thing and we feel like they're missing something. >> i'm sorry. >> a girl broke my heart a few years ago. you're on the edge of your seat. >> i am. >> broke my heart, and a year

and a half later i called her and we had a chat and got past small talk. i said honestly, from your side, what was wrong? she said, you really want to know? i said, yes, i want to know. she said, you were boring. yeah. you were boring. and i through gritted teeth, i say why, why do you say that? she said, when i met you, you were the most ambitious man i ever met. you could get anything you wanted. but a year in, a year and a half in, all of a sudden, you weren't spontaneous anymore. you sat on your laptop, that's all you did, we didn't go out, didn't have fun. >> why didn't she tell you that? >> here's the thing. whether or not she told me was irrelevant for the truth that i got out of that, which was that ambition alone wasn't attractive. i needed more than that. it is the same with anyone. when you don't get that call back from a guy, very often there is one thing you're missing. that makes him see you as one dimensional. and we have to be many different things. >> yes.

>> e. jean what do you think? >> now you're look a male lightning bolt. i think you can go two ways with a guy like this. number one, start introducing him as your fiance, which will shake things up. or number two, start dating a new guy. >> that will always do it. >> and he'll be jealous or you'll have a new guy. >> i love these two. they're just so much alike. >> here's one quick one, my husband holds grudges so bad. if i forget to do something or say something wrong, i never hear the end of it. any advice for one of those guys? >> never trust a man who holds a grudge. you don't know what you're dealing with. don't touch a woman who holds a woman too. >> here is the thing about grudges, they come from insecurities. if you -- you can say you forgive someone, if you still hold the grudge, there is an insecurity underneath it all where you're still feeling insignificant, it is like if you -- you're jealous and a day later, you feel the grudge, you say you've forgiven them, you still feel the insecurity of what they've done. >> thank you, kids. if you have questions for this crazy patience go to

the valves of her heart. to try to get rid of the persistent infection, they inserted tubing directly into her veins. unfortunately blood clots formed around the tube and some of these clots ended up blocking blood flow to her lungs. it was a painful experience for deanna who described it as hot burning lava in her lungs. now almost two years later, she is healthy again and thanks to the garden of dreams, she's so excited to be heading off to her first prom. >> her mom meredith is here. >> oh, gosh. >> are you ready to see your little girl? >> i'm so ready. >> don't turn around. just stay here and let's look. come on out. step right out. >> oh, how beautiful you look. i love the color of that dress. >> how sweet. >> thanks, mom. >> what do you think of your little girl? >> wow. you look beautiful.

leisure" magazine's international editor. >> very important. and we like him. >> thank you so much, guys. >> nice to see you. >> always good to be back. >> booking your hotel room, we're always looking for a good rate. what is the best way to start off? >> you know, you want to know what the trend is. if you're going to be traveling in the next two months, is the price going up, is it going down, when should you target it. there is a website, a brand-new one, called the sweetest. and like a hotel suite. >> okay. >> they will show you exactly what the price trend is going to be. it starts up like a very traditional hotel website. they'll show you what the hotels are, we have it up here. they'll show you what the hotels are, pictures, the descriptions and give you a letter grade of what the hotels -- hotel prices. >> and then do the trend, though? >> then you -- you'll get a graph that will show you the prices going up, going down. it is a great tool if you want to time your vacation. >> okay. >> here is something that happens. you book your room, you're, like, i booked my room and you click online later and you see the price went down and you're

holding this expensive room. >> the price can change hour by hour. and how do you know if your price went down? book your hotel, with the company called tingo. tingo.com. book it and they'll guarantee you the lowest price at the time. if the price goes down, they cancel your reservation, rebook you at the lower price and you don't -- >> you don't lose the reservation. >> don't lose the reservation. everything stays the same and they recredit your credit card with the difference. the average consumer saves about 50 bucks. you can save a whole lot more. >> that's a lot. tingo. >> what is blind booking. >> blind booking is where a hotel will greatly reduce the price, but they don't want to -- they don't want to sully their reputation by having steep discounts. they go to a third party option site, in this case, hotwire.com. they give that inventory to them, and you bid on it, but you don't know the name of the hotel. so hotwire.com has secret hot

rate hotels that will give you the location. we booked one in las vegas. they show you the location of the hotel, the amenities, the price, but not the name. so here's what you do, though. there is a secret. there is another site called hotel deals revealed. they use the exact same description, same hotel rating, but they tell the name. so you have to do a little bit of detective work, not a big deal. >> go there first. >> you could go there first and go to hotwire.com and get the steep discount. >> i like what you said. >> real gamblers. what if you want the cheap ones? >> there is back bid. this is interesting. if you have a hotel you booked, you go on to backbid.com, you tell the -- the site how much you paid, what dates you're traveling, the name of your hotel. if any hotels in that destination think they can beat that price, they send you an e-mail with the name of their hotel, and say we can give you an even better rate. >> they're monitoring that and say, sounds great, but -- >> instead of you searching out the best price, the best price comes to you.

>> is the best way to call the hotel and try to get yourself a good deal? >> there is always a debate in the travel industry about that. it really isn't true. sometimes at a small hotel you can do that. at the big chain hotels, probably not going to happen, no. >> all right. thank you for all your information. >> you are excellent. >> thank you so much, guys. all right. >> we're about to make a real splash. >> julie scardina brought her own party to celebrate seaworld's 50th anniversary. time for today's call of the wild. save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.d everybody knows that. well, did you know pinocchio was a bad motivational speaker? i look around this room and i see nothing but untapped potential.

they provide a balanced amount of activities, all the different things that we do with them, which are taking care of them through the behaviors, exercise, the play behaviors we do, the enrichment we offer. so -- >> let's start with the first one. >> pelicans. >> the pelicans. >> i adore pelicans. >> this is panama. he has a great -- >> he almost ate kate. >> come over here. >> i love these guys. they're ridiculous. >> she was rescued as a 2 to 3-year-old chick from the wild. ambassador animals, they teach people -- panama, that's your favorite. got some fish over here. >> some fish. >> yes, there you go. good. >> want this? okay. >> they are so much fun to watch. i sit and watch -- sometimes not. don't like that one? >> they really remind people who

come to the park there are things we can all do to help wildlife actually. some of those things are making sure we cut our fish -- that when we cut our fishing line, we don't leave it in the water. one of the main things that happens. >> okay. all right. so let's get to this. >> this is a great one. these are two species people really fear in the wild. >> they get along beautifully together. >> people fear them because they think the stingrays will sting them as soon as they have anything going near them. and of course sharks, millions, hundreds of millions of sharks are killed every year. >> what kind of shark is that in. >> this is a bamboo shark, very small sharks, only get to be three, three and a half feet. and these stingrays -- >> no. thank you very much. >> we have a new area called explorers reef, where guests can come close and that's when you learn. >> why do they have stingrays if they're not stinging us? >> they do have barbs on their tail. >> like i said. >> okay.

>> it is much like trimming your fingernails. it grows like a fingernail does, made out of carotene, but -- >> now i'm listening. >> all righty. >> they only use it for defense. when you go in the water, just do the stingray shuffle. and that scares them off. >> what is that? >> we have a beautiful -- here we go. >> they're amazing. >> they're beautiful. >> their legs are as long as yours, hoda. >> oh, my gosh. >> pinkie loves to show off and dance. >> they don't even look real. >> i know. she was hatched out at our busch gardens tampa park. we have flocks of flamingos. our breeding programs are very successful. they parade throughout the park. guests get a chance to walk with them. >> they're beautiful. >> i got to see these otters. dying. what is happening here? look at these. >> buffy and zandter.

>> oh, my gosh. >> 15 years old. they were born right at our seaworld. >> what do they -- they eat a variety of different fish and shrimp. >> nobody wants that fish over there. >> i know. >> how old is that fish in. >> they eat the whole thing. >> those guys take the whole thing. >> hold it above the head. buffy. i want the sharks instead of the fish. >> thank you. >> all right. will. what the heck. that's a big one. >> they're the smallest species of otter in the world. >> you're the best. >> next week, country music star -- >> zandter the fish. >> and jackie collins. >> zandter. >> have a great weekend. i'll see you at the amp.
