in south korea, they're not too worried about that stereotype. the government has added thousands of parking spaces just for women, but take a look at them. the spots are longer and they're wider, and they are marked with bright pink outlines and figures. believe it or not, the so-called she spots are part of a government initiate to make seoul more female-friendly. an official there says they're not supposed to be offensive. no word on what will happen to men who use those special spaces. >> it's the same as recording the applause when it goes in. >> good intentions, right? i wouldn't mind a little extra space. >> i like the extra space. >> you wouldn't think it would be someone implying that you're not a good parker? >> it completely is. >> i'll take the extra space, but we don't need the extra space. >> we can make those turns. >> i park like a woman. i'm a bad parker. >> nasty notes on the windshield sometimes. let's say you're feeling a little bit achy in the middle of the night. what's the first thing a lot of

people do these days? they turn to the internet and they check wikipedia. this morning, a new study that will make you think twice about doing that. researchers at campbell university found that 90% -- let me say it again -- 90% of wikipedia entries are inaccurate. they're littered with potentially dangerous factual errors on conditions ranging from back pain to lung cancer, and perhaps more troubling than anything, researchers report that even some medical professionals turn to wikipedia from time to time. >> no! >> you can get in and edit it yourself. pretty much. mine says i was raised by wolves. people just get in there and change it all the time. >> so what's the part that's not right? >> that explains the beard. well, the summer is upon us. and as the weather heats up, a lot of us will be tempted to crank up the air-conditioning when driving. but for cost-conscious consumers looking to save on gas, what do you think is more fuel efficient, using the ac or

rolling down the windows, guys? >> rolling down the windows. >> for years, people thought actually it was the ac, but turns out you guys are right, because apparently down windows let the air rush in. a lot of people thought it would create drag on the car, especially at high speeds. >> but they said rolling down the window has found to be more fuel efficient at all speeds. so if you can stand it, turn off the ac and save a little gas money. >> that's what i was saying. >> if you're low on gas, turn off the ac. let's bring in a guy who's a real expert on this. a man who knows a thing or two about cars. ryan hunter-reay, the newest winner of the indianapolis 500. [ applause ] >> yea! >> ryan becoming the first american since 2006 to win what's known as the greatest spectacle in racing. man, you put on a show, my friend. >> congratulations. >> winning by the closest of margins. and then you held up this little guy, who just charmed everybody. your wife becky is here and your son. what an accomplishment.

congratulations. >> thank you so much. thanks for having us. obviously he stole the show. the world's smallest race suit. and it's all to scale. every logo that's on my suit. but it was just a dream come true. hard-fought finish. it was down to the wire with helio castronevez there at the end. >> i think even people that don't know racing all that well understand it's a big deal to win the indy 500. just give me the feeling of going under the checkered flag? >> it was a career-long goal to win this race. i've dreamt of just having a shot at winning this race since i was a kid, and let alone doing it in that fashion with a race that came down, second closest finish in the indy 500 history and one of the most exciting ever. >> and the first american in eight years on memorial day. that must have been an extra dose of pride for you. >> exactly. i take a lot of pride with that. memorial day weekend, our service men and women were out there. we wouldn't be able to do this great race if it weren't for them. i'm one of the few americans in the sport, it's a very international sport. definitely proud to raise the stars and stripes. >> let me see your nails.

did you chew them off? it was so tight. what was it like for you to watch? >> it was so agonizing. the thing that you guys don't understand is that i watch from a pit box, and the tv went out as soon as they got to turn four. so i had to run to the pit wall and look over. i knew a yellow car won. i was just hoping it was his. i was like oh, my gosh, this is so amazing. >> you love racing. your husband loves racing. do you hope to raise a future race car driver? >> i hope he's a golfer, to be honest. [ laughter ] >> best answer. good answer on that. >> are you getting double the checks by wearing the exact same racing outfit? >> that's the angle we're working on. >> we're working on an agent. >> and allegation a waste of perfectly good milk at the end of the race. i still don't get that, but that's all right. >> it tasted great. it was cold. it was whole milk. and he'll regret not having a little bit of it because he loves milk, but he was tired at the end of the day. we'll definitely have to get him some more. >> congratulations. >> do you leave your windows

open to save fuel? >> that's the great thing about indycars, it's always open. it's a 230-mile-an-hour breeze. it feels great. >> how many miles per gallon do you get? >> it's terrible mileage because we're going so fast. but honda's done a great job with it. >> you know what slows the car down even more, but it's a good thing? carrying that checkered flag around. >> absolutely. >> congratulations. >> good hard fight. congratulations, guys. >> thanks for having us. still to come, four-time emmy winner julia louis-dreyfus, and we're back in just 30 seconds.

we're back now at 8:16. the business oaf cigarettes is booming, but some makers are being accused of using other popular products geared toward kids to increase sales. here's nbc's gabe gutierrez. >> reporter: they reach nearly $2 billion in sales last year, but now e-cigarette flavors are under fire. the owners of kid friendly brands like thin mint and cinnamon toast crunch have sent cease and desist letters trying to keep their names out of the growing industry. the girl scouts saying, using the thin mint name -- which is synonymous with girl scouts and everything we do to enrich the lives of girls to market e-cigarettes to youth is deceitful and shameless. >> there's a common sense issue here. i mean, you don't steal someone else's brand. >> reporter: e-cigarette supporters say the vapor-producing devices that heat liquid nicotine are safer

than regular smoking, but one industry group acknowledges the specific branding practice might not be the best idea. >> those companies are obviously trying to do whatever they can to get a product out there in the market. and even though they're utilizing different tactics, that we don't agree with, we're not an enforcement agency. >> reporter: nbc news reached out to manufacturers selling the e-cigarette flavors in question, but we did not hear back. the food and drug administration has proposed regulating the industry, but has not banned candy or fruit flavors, drawing criticism from some in congress. >> they're pulling out all their stops to target children. it's absolutely shameful. >> reporter: now as corporate giants like general mills step in, what began as sweet marketing could end up in a bitter legal battle. for "today," gabe gutierrez, nbc news. >> interesting. >> people who feel passionate about those. i hear from them every once in a

while. >> i do, too. >> so put that in your pipe and smoke it. >> now you're going to hear it. we have a series we call the social, and this morning we're tackling a biggie, pregnancy etiquette. having a baby is an exciting time, but as the baby bump grows, unfortunately sometimes so does the amount of awkward behavior and unsolicited advice, often from complete strangers. take a look. everyone loves a baby, but as most moms-to-be discover, the nine months leading up to the big reveal are often filled with socially awkward bumps in the road. >> it's a little pregs and big pregs. >> wait, when did we start -- >> isn't it amazing the difference in our sizes? >> people tend when you're pregnant to say wow, you look so big, how far along are you? or you look so small. >> out of nowhere, they'll just say, my god, your boobs are

gigantic. >> a family was outright, how much weight have you gained? i don't know if they're tracking it or if they have some sort of pool going. >> you never say things like you look like you're ready to pop. >> yes. it is not a turkey. >> no. >> it's a person having another person. >> people ask me if the doctor checked to make sure there was just one baby in there. or when they touch your belly like that. that's a little bit uncomfortable. >> all of a sudden your belly is like public property. >> a perfect stranger just beelines over to me and puts their hand on my belly, it's completely unacceptable. arer it's not a buddha. it's a pregnant belly. don't rub the belly. >> yeah. >> shouldn't really be eating that. should you be out right now? should you be wearing those heals? >> when i would tell people that i wanted to have a natural birth, a lot of people were very negative about that. >> we started telling our friends. they would ask us if it was planned. >> don't ask about names. because they don't want your

opinion. or worse, they'll actually tell you, you know, well, we're thinking of sassafras. could be good for a boy, good for a girl. you know, giraffe. >> who wouldn't like giraffe? >> oh, no. it's bad. it's bad. don't ask about names. >> all right. one of the biggest breaches of pregnancy etiquette, we asked you to weigh in on today.com. 44% of you said people touching your belly without asking was the worst, followed by comments about your weight and unsolicited advice. and the worst violators turns out, you said it's your own family. so what's a pregnant woman to do? etiquette expert thomas farley is from whatmattersmost.com. this is a can of worms. you and i agree, it wasn't in the piece we just saw, but the whole asking someone if they're pregnant is almost never okay. >> well, it's just -- it's a land mine. >> unless you're 1,000% sure that this is the case. >> unless you're the ob/gyn delivering the baby, don't ask, right?

>> exactly. and the same goes after the woman has given birth. you don't want to ask her when are you having the baby? >> mine field. i've had that happen. four months ago was the answer. it's not good. it's never good. is it ever okay for someone to reach out and touch your belly, or must you be invited to do so? >> you want to be invited. and typically the woman will guide your hand to the belly. you want to wait for that invite. can you imagine walking down the street and somebody decides to touch your hair? that doesn't happen. nobody would think of doing that. same with the belly. even more so. >> on the flip side, is it rude of a pregnant woman to say oh, the baby's kicking, do you want to feel? >> it's a very special moment. i think if you've got that kind of a relationship, do it. a lot of people feel awkward about that. >> nosey questions. for example, wow, how much weight have you gained for this pregnancy? >> rhetorical question. >> are you kidding me? >> this is where the family can be the worst offenders, as the poll shows. i'd say keep the questions rosy and not nosey. so supportive. loving.

caring. comments about weight definitely off the table. >> a lot of people ask, do you know the baby's name? do you know the baby's gender? i don't find that offensive. but some people think it's getting up in their business. >> you know, every couple has their own narrative to tell. whatever that's going to be, that's their per rorerogative. it's your comfort level. if you want to say we know the gender, we know what name we're going the use, great. >> so let me play the role of the nightmare guy. okay, so, is it always wrong for me to look at a pregnant woman and say, are you going to breast-feed? >> yes. can i vote? 100% of co-hosts say yes. >> i've heard people ask that question. it's ridiculous. >> i think, again, if there's a particularly close -- maybe it's a sister. >> fine. >> but unless it's the husband or the partner, you definitely want to keep that question completely off the table. >> yeah. >> just so i don't get hate e-mail, you ask that question. >> oh, was the baby planned or

unplanned? >> that's a tricky one. you also get questions about multiples. if somebody's have twins or triplets, oh, was this a natural childbirth? that is something you want to leave off the table. >> come to think of it, matt, you did ask me if i was pregnant. >> i saw a dramatic change in your normal behavior. >> i wasn't drinking. that's why. i didn't have a vodka shot. >> it wasn't based on appearance or anything. >> yeah, likely story. >> this is a wonderful chapter for any woman and her partner. this is something to be enjoyed and embraced and the family and friends need to embrace it like wise. >> thomas farley, thank you so much. always a good hot potato issue. coming up, we've got a treat. julia louis-dreyfus is here. she's going to share her real life journey to discover things she never knew about her father william louis-dreyfus, who is also here. we'll check in with both of them. we will get some tales about julia as a

a very good morning to you. it is 8:26. i'm laura garcia-cannon. today, san mateo city planning commission will try to figure out what to do with the land that once housed a popular ice rink. the owner of the land where the bridge point ice rink stands has submitted a new plan. the owner wants to knock the rink down, replace it with at least one retail store. dozens of community members say the rink should stay, because it benefits thousands of local kids. the ice center closed in 2013 and has not opened since. let's check that morning commute with mike. how's it looking out there? >> looks like everybody, skaters or not skaters have hit the roadway. we're looking at northbound 101. look at this map. the entire stretch of 101 approaching tully. the worst is backing up approaching the camera, because of an earlier car fire. also at the bottom of your

screen, 85 northbound at saratoga, another crash there. that's your second for the morning along that stretch between 87 and that area, 485. 280 also jamming up. through the south bay, tough. look at all of these feeder routes where southbound 880 is the culprit. that early backup has things tough threw sunol. and you only get a little break south through alamo and danville. but walnut creek, tough. a new crash there, bogging things down there. >> all right, thank you very much. we'll be back in half an hour with another local news update. see you then.

did you hear about the abominable ice cream man? what's that? he's a crazy ice cream eating monster who loves creamy delicious tillamook ice cream. (whispering) seriously? (door creaks) he's fast. tillamook ice cream, tastes better because it's made better.

we're back now at 8:30 on a tuesday morning, 27th day of may, 2014. you look up, now you say this is nice. you looked up later -- >> a little rain, about a 20-degree temperature drop by tomorrow. >> next part of the week is going to be a little colder. it's all right. we can handle anything. welcome back, everyone. >> well, just ahead, julia louis-dreyfus is here, along with her dad, they're going to talk about the very personal project they have been working on. plus, what keeps him coming

with that. and our temperatures, thanks to the stronger sea breeze, running a little bit cooler today. 70s around san jose. low to mid-70s near the peninsula. upper 60s, closer to san francisco. and into the north bay, 81 degrees in santa rosa, and pleasanton, 83. 79 in danville. and the trend ahead, we'll show today is probably going to be one of the cooler days, warming towards thursday, and for the weekend, temperatures drop as a low pressure system moves in. we'll see temperatures cooling saturday and sunday. >> don't forget, get your weather any time you need it, go to the weather channel on cable, weather.com online. and this young man, your mom has the same birthday as natalie morales? june 6th? >> june 6th. >> that's impressive. and by the way, when you come down to the the -- hey, alex. what are you giving out there? alex is our plaza producer. >> nice "america's got talent" sunglasses. >> that's what happens when you come to the plaza, you get free stuff from alex. thank you very much. now let's go back inside.

guys? >> all right, al, thank you so much. four-time emmy winner julia louis-dreyfus stole our hearts, of course, playing elaine on nbc's hit sitcom "seinfeld." now she's making us laugh as vice president selena meyer in the hbo series "veep." but her newest project is different and it's a very personal one. it's a documentary called "generosity of i" and traces her father's decision to sell his extensive art collection to benefit the harlem zone, which is a charity that helps people at risk. jay fielden is the editor of "town & country," holding a special screening of the documentary tonight to kick off a philanthropy summit. >> good morning. that was well-spoken. >> we really got everything into that intro. >> i think we're done. >> i was nervous because you all were looking at me. it's such a pleasure to have you here. especially with such a personal project. i watched the film last night. and i just thought, this is a side of you we've never seen, and we really learn a lot about your dad. what was it like to do that? >> it was wonderful. when my dad first told me that i

was going to gift his collection as part of an endowment for the harlem children's zone, i was utterly floored. i thought -- i spoke to my husband brad, who's the director. and we thought it would be great to get him on film talking about it. and it evolved into this. we really were doing it just personally for ourselves. but it's a good document showing what this is all about, the artist, the harlem children's zone, the importance of that organization, of course. and we're so happy to be partnering with "town & country" to help get the word out. >> mr. louis-dreyfus, i couldn't help but notice -- during the whole film, we see how much you love this art. and then we learn that you're going to give it all away. was it hard to part with something you've been collecting for 50 years? >> well, if i had found a way of taking it with me, i mightn't have given it. busince i can't do that, it's

the next best thing is to give it to jeff canada. and his educational effort. >> jeff canada, of course, is the founder of the harlem children's zone. a great philanthropist. jay, this is how you're kicking off your philanthropy summit. what do you think about what mr. louis-dreyfus is doing here, could be either a model or an inspiration to people who want to give? >> yeah, i think he's probably going to have founded a new movement in philanthropy called eureka if i lon toreeka philant you're at home watching an amazing show about jeffrey canada and you decide to make this amazing gift to an organization that needs it so much. so at "town & country" we've always looked at what it means to give back and he's hit a new level of what that means today. >> you learn a lot about you, of course. we also learn a lot about your taste in art. i love that they call it outsider art, that you didn't necessarily buy what was fashionable or chic necessarily expensive, right?

>> no. i bought what i liked. and, of course, that's no certainty that the art is good. but it is what i liked. >> and julia, you grew up around these pieces. >> yes. >> what did you learn about your dad in the process that surprised you? >> well, you know what i learned in making this film about my dad -- and we spent a lot of time together -- was his personal emotional investment, not only in the artwork itself, but in the lives of the artists whom he's gotten to know in the process over many decades. and how immersed he has been in the art world for decades. so it's been a remarkable journey to tell this story. >> it's so obvious in the film how proud you are of your dad. >> yeah. >> especially that he's giving this away, this great gesture of generosity. but be honest, was there

anything you're like dad, don't give that one away. i'd like to keep that family heirloom. >> i tucked a couple in my bag on the way out. >> and mr. louis-dreyfus, i'm sure you get asked this all the time, but tell us what this young lady was like as a little girl. i mean, did you always know she was going to be a star? >> well, i couldn't tell whether she was going to be a star, but i knew how natural she was. and how much she liked life and fun. she was always very funny. and fun to be with. >> well, she is a delight. >> that's a nice shot. >> we get out all the old shots. nice to have all of you here. congratulations again. >> thank you. >> you can catch the documentary on the website generosityofi.com. check it out. coming up, pop star cher lloyd performs live on our plaza. and next, howie mandel on tonight's return of "america's

got talent." but first, this is "today" on nbc. moments of certainty.

8:40 now, get ready for some wild acts. nbc's summer hit "america's got talent" returns tonight. judge howie mandel is here with a preview, and also a big announcement. howie, good to see you. >> huge announcement. you can call me howie mandel. you don't have to call me judge howie mandel. >> okay, fine. usually i say your honor. >> to you i'm just howie. >> we've known each other a long time. >> minutes. >> there's been turnover on a lot of the other judges' tables on shows like this. why do you still love this? >> five years i've been doing it. i'm addicted to talent. talent is my -- but i love this show. and i love the paycheck. and i love nbc. >> did you put that in the correct order? >> well, politically correct

order. no, i love the show. i can't believe this is a job. people -- hopefully millions of americans will sit at home watching it. i'm getting paid to do the same thing. >> as someone who's been in show biz for a long time, is it watching that moment when someone lays it all on the line that you like? >> i have such empathy for anybody who's willing to walk out in front of people. just walk out in front of people and you don't know what's going to happen next. but then that moment that you speak of, where somebody's life has changed forever when they're just plucked from obscurity and then their dreams are coming true right in front of everybody's eyes. i can't tell you -- there are no words to describe that feeling. >> even before doing this show, you had a pretty good eye for talent, i would imagine. now you've honed that eye for talent. is there someone through the audition process that you look at right now and say people in this country will know that person's name coming up. >> yeah, this year there's probably more than one person. and we say this every year, that the talent just keeps getting better, but there are a few names that you're going to know. not only names, but this year

the bar has been raised. it's the most outrageous year ever. the craziest acts. the most amazing acts. the youngest and oldest people we've ever had on the show. we have like an 8-year-old knife-thrower who's throwing knives at his 6-year-old sister. >> see, we discourage that in my house. >> we discourage it in my house, too, but on "america's got talent," nothing is discouraged. there are no rules. we have the oldest act we've ever had. 94 years old. he's a strength act. a strength act. unbelievable. >> and by the way, speaking of strength acts, you displayed great strength recently. you actually did a little shirtless dancing. >> that's not strength, that's stupidity. why do you have to show -- that's not me. >> i was going to say, you look great. >> look at me. that's me. you know what? sometimes you do things -- >> there you go. >> we don't have to talk about that. there i am. >> howie, you look good. >> thank you, sir. the truth is, had i thought about it, i wouldn't have done it. and had i known that you were

going to replay it over and over again, i wouldn't have done it. some decisions aren't -- i was hot, it was the end of the day. i just joined the crowd. >> enough said. this announcement, by the way. >> can i make it now? >> go ahead. >> okay, so here's what happens. this is the biggest talent show in the world. and 48 people get to go to live shows at the iconic radio city music hall. us judges have only picked 47. >> so there's one slot. >> one slot left to go directly to the live shows. that's why i'm wearing this shirt. "today's got talent." we are going to let the "today" show viewers choose that final contestant. >> they don't have to audition. >> you're going right through to the live show. this is how we're going to do it. first of all, send a tape or audition, go to today.com/agt to send a video of your audition. anything goes. i just told you anything. you don't have to sing. you don't have to dance. anything goes. and, they will come here, you guys will whittle it down to

three people on the plaza. and then your viewers will vote for the one person that goes to the live shows. so we are letting you, "today," we are letting you decide who is that final person. and matt, a dream will come true. you can make the next superstar. it doesn't say today.com/agt, but that's where you have to go. >> i just wish you were a little more into it. >> i love it! it's amazing. wait until you see the tapes you get. >> i can't wait. >> some of them aren't even for families. >> howie. good to see you. >> all right. tonight. >> head to today.com for more on the "today's got talent" contest. tonight, 8:00/7:00 central time right here on nbc. up next, a live performance from cher lloyd. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

gridlock. teacher layoffs. and a 60 billion dollar budget deficit. that's what john perez faced when he became speaker of the california assembly. so he partnered with governor brown to pass three balanced budgets, on time. for the first time in thirty years. today, the deficits are gone and we've invested an additional 2 billion dollars in education. now john perez is running for controller, to keep fighting for balanced budgets. democrat john perez for controller.

the toyota concert series on "today," brought to you by toyota. >> she was just 16 years old when she was a finalist on "x-factor" and took the world by storm. >> that's right. 16-year-old cher lloyd -- she was 16 then, she's 20 now. four years later, she's a multi-platinum star releasing her album called "sorry i'm late." but she's right on time this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i guess that's the first question. "sorry i'm late." late for what? what does the title mean? >> well, i'm not late to occasion. i wasn't late today. i think i was very early. but i mean it in a way of my music, growing up a little, and getting to know myself. that's how that title came around. >> sophomore album. your first album was a huge success. the bad news is your first album was a huge success, and a lot of people get nervous bringing out a second album. are you nervous?

>> i know that it's what my fans want. so any which way that it goes, i know that they're happy so far. i've seen today on my twitter, they're going crazy for certain songs, so i'm really happy that they're loving it. but of course i would love for it to be a success. that's why i make music. i want people to like my music. >> a lot has changed in the last four years. you got married. >> i did. >> and the sound is different on this record. you think it's more you? >> yeah, most definitely. i took a lot of time out to really concentrate on my song writing. i wasn't as confident before. but i was this time around. you know, i just had a crack at it and you can really tell that it's come from me. >> and now we're going to know. what are you going to sing? >> i'm going to sing my new single "sirens." >> ladies and gentlemen, cher lloyd.

know better sleep with sleep number. from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today" on tuesday morning. it's may 27th, 2014. i'm willie geist along with al roker, natalie morales, and tamron hall, and a great crowd outside on our plaza. what's setting up to be a pretty sticky day in new york city. >> yeah, we've got a cold front, what we call a back door cold front. normally they go west to east. this one's coming from the north to the south. going to knock our temperatures down probably 20, 25 degrees. >> from sticky to chilly. >> but you've got the seersucker on and that's all that matters. >> it's after memorial day. what the heck, time to break it out. made some extra money this weekend selling ice cream.

worked out nicely. had the truck up to about 80 miles per hour. >> a southern lawyer. >> exactly. matlock. the john grisham look or something. today classes are cancelled for a full day of mourning and reflection at the campus of uc santa barbara. still so many unanswered questions in the aftermath of last friday's massacre that left six innocent people dead as well as the alleged gunman elliot rodger. the victim's names george chen, weihan wang, cheng yuan hong, katie cooper, veronika weiss, christopher michael-martinez. the main memorial event today is scheduled for 4:00 on the campus at ucsb. there have been vigils at other university of california campuses in los angeles and san diego, just to name a couple. this morning, many media organizations are reporting that a now 20-year-old woman was named in rodger's manifesto. rodger allegedly blamed that woman for this rampage. nbc has not confirmed those details. we certainly will not identify

her or her family. but again, many people have put her right out there. >> yeah, she's in the papers. >> and another victim in all of this, which is horrific. >> yeah, it is. and we heard again from mr. martinez, the father of one of the victims, and his passion and his love and his anger and all those things, that stew of emotions coming out and speaking for so many people after this terrible event. >> also the girl who helped christopher martinez. she ran to his aid, like so many others, ran to assist and she said she was administering cpr, she looked and she recognized the face and she turned to others and said this is chris. can you imagine the grief and pain they have today? but they're all together at this memorial, being there for each other, as we've seen too often in these tragedies. but you need someone to lean on, you need someone to cry on and to be there with you. it's tough. it's awful. >> there are no words to even try to begin to describe the unspeakable tragedy and the feelings that that community is now experiencing. >> and the questions.

>> the questions. and certainly the mental health of this young man as well. >> think of his parents. of course, the families -- >> the race to the scene, and the mother hearing on the radio as the story was unfolding, and then to find out that it was her son who committed those terrible acts. >> our joe fryer reported -- he didn't disclose the identity of the individual, but a friend says that this young man told him before, you know, i want to kill everyone. and the first thing i thought is, at what point do these words turn into the ability to act and do something? he said it out loud. so many signs. >> so many signs. and for five years apparently had been working on this so-called manifesto, which is basically a psychotic rage against women. >> we often talk about how these people fall through the cracks. this kid didn't fall through the cracks. his parents had him in therapy from a very young age. they were working on this, and you can't be by your kid's side every second. they certainly tried.

>> deputies had interviewed him. he was of age. so they couldn't commit him into some sort of mental institution. he answered the questions. they said he behaved accordingly. so, you know, there was nothing more. >> but he also said in this manifesto, if the authorities had gone into his room -- that's what he says in this manifesto. we don't know because obviously he was very smug in this, saying basically i got away with this. but he says if they had gone into that room -- but what are the rights of an individual, privacy in your home. >> had they also seen the videos, which his mother saw. they had them before they went. had they seen those videos, they would have known this is a kid who is snapping. on to what i think is just a great story, shifting gears here. jim carrey, we all love him. he's such a wonderful guy. and when he gets onstage, normally he makes all of us laugh. he's such a great comedian. but at a commencement speech in

iowa on saturday, he gave students in the audience some really heartfelt advice based on his own family. he said to the crowd, my father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. instead, he got a safe job as an accountant. and when i was 12, he was let go from that job and our family had to do whatever we could to survive. i learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you could fail at what you don't love, is you might as well take a chance on doing what you love." i just love that. it's so profound and so true. >> but you've got to understand what his dad did. because out of love for his family -- >> sacrifice for his family. >> i remember my dad was a great artist and was very good. a good commercial artist. at the time, a young black man couldn't get a job in the commercial artist union, so took a job as a bus driver because he had a family to feed and you make those choices. you would rather take the other choice, the creative choice.

but, you know, for jim, he learned an amazing lesson from his dad, which is another gift his father gave him. >> by the way, when carey was a struggling comedian to make himself feel better, he did write a check for $10 million and post dated it in ten years. he slipped that check into his father's casket when he was buried. his father, by the way, percy passed away in 1994. >> chasing your dreams, is a great message. but when you're in the moment, you've got kids and they've got to go to school and provide a meal for them every day. it's harder. >> but he made the sacrifice for jim, as our parents made sacrifices for us and we are their legacy. we are here because of them. >> as parents, all you wish for your children is to be able to allow them to pursue whatever it is they dream to do in life. >> the pursuit of happiness. >> so that they're successful and can take care of us. >> that's it. >> you want to write a check right now for $10 million, i'm

happy. >> you better be nice and courtney is going to be cooking somewhere famous. i'm going to be the one who takes care of you. >> aww. >> yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am. >> she will. you know she will. >> still not getting the car. >> made the case for the car, just with that. >> i was going to say. i would give her that. that's a good argument. >> another inspiring story, actually, is a young man, a valedictorian, out of florida, that we have been talking about. i don't think we're going to do this one, though. but i'll tell the story, anyway. because adam said -- adam, i'm calling you out. told me we were doing the valedictorian story. okay. well, this kid is amazing. his name is griffin furlong. he lost his mother at the age of 6 to leukemia. and he, along with his father and his brother, were in a homeless shelter for two years in louisville, kentucky. his family always had financial struggle, often having little to eat, let alone invest in his education in this tutoring and different things that might be available. but despite these incredible

odds, he has gone on to a 4.65 gpa. >> geez. >> that's what i'm saying. 4. -- >> valedictorian. >> his attitude is never give up and he became the valedictorian of his class, despite this. and we were talking -- we all have adversity. some far worse than others and we know that. but when you can see a kid like this guy, griffin furlong, who looks in the eye of adversity who says i'm taking it on and i'm going to win. it's incredible. a lot of great stories coming out. florida state, working on getting a scholarship and the moneys available to meet his expenses. >> i have a feeling he'll get those. >> isn't that amazing? >> 4.65. i didn't know it went past 4. >> that's how good he is. >> they have to remake the numbers. >> that's a.p classes you and i didn't take. >> definite point on those. >> it's like one louder. goes to ten, makes it go to

eleven. >> he explains how did he this. >> positive mind-set. i tried to accomplish everything i needed to do. i know that i have everything to lose, so i just pushed myself. i mean, school is all i have. family is all i have. i'm doing everything for me and what i've been through. i'm doing it for my mom. >> that's his mother there. >> and he had a baseball cap and would write on it every season, never give up. >> wow. >> so if we learn from jim carrey, $10 million check and this young man, never give up. believe in yourself. call it into existence. >> well done. on a completely unrelated note, we've got some cool video to show you. this happened on sunday afternoon in california. san joaquin valley, route 99. everybody is okay. that's the first thing to say here. a train hits a semi truck that had stalled on the tracks. >> oh, dear. >> here it comes. >> the driver jumped out of the cab in time. >> the engineer blowing the whistle. >> yeah. and the lights and the gate. >> oh, gosh. >> that's like a hollywood

movie. >> the train is carrying tanks. it's a military train. see that? >> wow. >> there you go. driver is okay. got out. truck not so much. >> yes. how about a look at the weather? >> okay. so a lot of folks went to the beach this weekend. well, we've got i think the beach weather to break all beach weather. take a look. this is lake superior. marquette, michigan. >> ice. >> that's ice. that's ice. water temperature, 36. tell her about the shrinkage-jerry! that is rough. kayaking around icebergs. that is nuts. well, anyway, hopefully things warm up very soon. we've got a lot of serious weather to talk about down around texas. last four days, areas have picked up over 5 inches of rain, and there's more falling. we have flash flood watches, flash flood warnings between austin and san antonio. why? look at the radar. it's all lit up. you can see heavy thunderstorms now pushing in. rainfalling amounts, you can see dallas right now, you're going to be into the thunderstorms later this afternoon with temperatures in the low 80s. rainfall amounts over the next

several days, up to 5 to 7 inches north of houston and on into central louisiana. that is going to cause some flooding. that's what's going and right now, we're seeing temperatures in the 60s around the bay area. and with the sea breeze picking up for the afternoon, around san francisco, we have 61 right now. and for the game time, first pitch temperature, should see low 60s too. we'll see temperatures in the 70s around the san jose, mid- to upper 60s closer to san francisco, and into the north bay, we'll see highs near 80 in napa. 83 in pleasanton. temperatures today, a bit cooler and then trending a bit warmer approaching thursday. and that's your latest weather. >> all right, al, thanks a lot. coming up next, how to survive a car crash, from your seatbelt to your air bags, what you may be doing wrong and how to fix it, right after this. and how to fix and how to fix oh john don't wallow john iin ice cream.s over.

this past memorial day marks the unofficial start of summer. sadly, though, it also kicks off the deadliest season for driving in 2012, more than 3,300 people are killed each month in june, july and august. >> but there are ways to protect yourself and your family. and increase your chances for survival, if you're ever in an accident. deborah hersman is the president of the national safety council and former chairman of the ntsb. deborah, good morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> i saw her notes last night and was so surprised the number of accidents in the summer. we think of bad weather in the winter and accidents, but these numbers are staggering. >> it is. and actually, people think that wintertime is the most dangerous time. but actually, february has the lowest number of fatalities per month. it's actually the summer months where most people get killed. and you can imagine it's because a lot of families are taking vacation. kids are out of school and a lot of people are celebrating memorial day, 4th of july, labor day and there is alcohol involved. >> and then a lot of kids are getting their first car, so you've got a lot of new drivers, a lot of teen drivers. in fact, there's a spike, number-one cause of death for teens during the summer.

>> that's right. and it -- motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for our teens. and their first year behind the wheel and their first 1,000 miles are the deadliest. and so we really need to do a lot more to help our teens and their parents learn how to make driving safe for them. >> what do you say to parents who want to give this advice to their kids? what's the number one thing they need to know? >> i think for parents, it's about modeling the behavior that you want your kids to replicate. but also, there's a lot of resources out there. the allstate foundation has partnered with national safety council to make sure that information is out there for best practices in the state. >> for example, limiting the time of driving and limiting driving at night. >> that's right. two huge things. passenger restrictions, because one more passenger makes you 44% more likely to have a crash. >> okay. so the seatbelt, of course, is your first defense. and tamron is going to show us how to do that. wow. picked a good dress. didn't know what we were doing

this morning. >> so i'm buckling up. >> so the good thing about seat belts, these are really low-tech. but they are the best defense when it comes to a car crash. >> did i do it right? >> so the really important thing here for tamron, it's low across her hips. and you want that seatbelt to restrain the bony, strong parts of your body. so your hip bones and your sternum, chest bone. so it's great. it's coming right across your sternum and over your shoulder. and it's not cutting you in the neck and it's not over your abdomen. >> you also hear women who are more petite complain. and i used to take it off. and obviously i don't do that now. but because it would hit you in this awkward spot. >> so the good news is, we have a lot of cars that actually have better adjustable devices. and so you have adjustable a actuators here. obvious times for your shoulder belt, bring it down if you're shorter and raise your seat up if you have an adjustable seat. >> what about car seats? so many parents put them in and surprisingly not putting them in

correctly. >> i know. and so -- tamron, do you need a hand? >> i've got it. you guys go on. >> tamron -- just get up right now, i'm blocking you. >> i'm just going to sit here. i wasn't prepared, i'm sorry. >> it's okay. car seats have come a long way and what we have here is actually a car seat that can go through the life span of the child. this seat is for 5 to 110 pounds. so the really important thing is to pick the right seat for your child. make sure it's sized appropriately. we're going to come over here and i'm going to show you two ways -- >> now al is going to get in that. and i'll buckle him correctly. we'll see if we know. >> that's right. oh, baby. >> there's two ways to install a car seat. one is to use the traditional seatbelt. and you can thread that through and bucklel it in. >> sure. >> the other way has to do with what's called a latch attachment. and you can see these alligator clips. this is to help make installation easier for parents. if you look down in all of your cars that have been manufactured

recently, down in the bite of the seat, there you go. you can feel it, al. there is a hard attachment that you actually just latch this into. al, you want to do it? >> sure. >> he's had some experience with this. >> he does. >> yes. there we go. and then you adjust it. >> absolutely. so now it's tight in there. and you're going to adjust that and make it really tight. the important thing with either a seatbelt or the latch system, you don't want more than one inch of side to side movement. >> and forward-facing, rear-facing? any difference? as far as safety? >> yep, forward-facing, you want to make sure you actually take advantage of the tether at the top. what you do is you have an attachment back here. look at your car's manual and look at this car seat. and what this does is, it makes sure you don't have forward head excursion. this is not coming forward in a crash. really important. >> all right. don't take it for granted. look at the manual, practice makes perfect. >> and a lot of times you bring it to your dealer and they will

install it for you. >> and there are thousands of certified passenger seat technicians across the country. they will do this for you for free. >> good advice. thank you, deborah. up next, we get you caught up on the news you need to know before you leave the house. and later, the skinny on sugar and the low-calorie sweeteners. how much should you be consuming every day? we'll answer those questions, honey. right after this.

what else have we got. >> rao. rolling all over. >> what does that even mean? >> i don't know. >> ltnt. long time no type. those were the ones in this initial news letter that haven't made the cut. long time no type, as in texting? we weren't 25 years ago. >> pagers, i guess? >> or e-mail? >> long time no type? no one would say that because you're not exchanging -- i don't know about this. long time no type? >> we're going to look into this on "news nation." >> i'm going to have an investigative report. >>. >> pos. parents over shoulder. >> that's a valuable one to know. how did you learn that one?

60s and low 70s for the weekend. >> and that's your latest weather. we all know that we should limit our sugar intake as part of a healthy diet. let me get you away from the sugar cane. but with all of the different option, white sugar, high freak toes corn syrup, it is hard to know if some are better than the others. >> some companies have even removed certain sweeteners from their products. take a look at this ad yoplait. >> we want you to feel better about your favorite flavors. yoplait light and original are now made with no high fructose corn syrup. while we use only natural colors and natural flavors in yoplait original, so anything else we can do for you, let us know. >> all right, but this ad from the corn refiners association says there is nothing to be worried about. >> wow.

you don't care what the kids eat, huh? >> excuse me? >> that has high fructose corn syrup in it. >> you know what they say about it. >> like what? >> it's -- >> that it's made from corn? it's natural. and like sugar, it's fine in moderation? >> she told her. so here to help us figure out what's best for you and your family is "today's" diet editor, madeline fernstrom. what's the deal? >> this is one big part of confusion. the high fructose corn syrup is just part of this equation. all these added sugars can be an issue. what we're going to talk about is what to know about them. the body recognizes all of these things, whether they sound good or not, as the same thing when it gets digested. >> including artificial sweeteners? >> these are all just regular sweeteners. we are born with a sweet tooth. people say i have a sweet tooth. that comes from nature.

from sugar cane, from sugar beets and natural fruit. if you look at the added sugars, what you have in the diet from natural fruits is not the issue. all these things are added. this is cane sugar, whether you cube it, whether it looks more natural to you, this is just one step less processed from regular sugar. all of these added sugars are the issue because there are health ramifications from all sugars. >> so how much added sugar should we be getting daily? what's the maximum intake? >> according to the american heart association, you know, reliable source, it's not as much as you would think. it's about 5% of your calories. let's say 100 to 150 calories a day. that translates for women into about six teaspoons only in a whole day. for men, it's about nine. it's not much. >> when we move into other kinds of sweeteners, like honey, agave, molasses, brown sugar, any difference? >> there is no difference that the way the body will see this. spoiler alert, you're not doing yourself a favor if you swap out regular cane sugar for agave or

something like that. you want to cut down all added sugars because the health issue is for rotting teeth, for obesity that has its own health issues. these are the kinds of things to worry about. it may look more natural or healthy or better, but it's always going to be viewed by the body as the same thing. getting it to your mouth and making that behavioral change is something different. >> so sugar gets metabolized as sugar, no matter what form it comes in. >> agave, low glycemic index? >> in general, when you talk about different sugars and how it affects your blood glucose, it's the amount that you're going to be using generally. all these sweatene sweeteners h different taste profile. basically, high fructose corn syrup or table sugar are two little sugar molecules. high fructose corn syrup is almost identical, although studies are really inconclusive about whether it's worse for you, but it doesn't seem to be. >> all right. let's give an idea here of how much extra sugar we're talking about. >> we all know about sugars in

things like cakes and cookies. look another a 12-ounce soda. that's ten teaspoons. that's above your recommendations. >> that's a lot. >> things like granola. >> still a lot. >> or your favorite, a blop of ketchup has a teaspoon in just a tablespoon. >> there are myths out there that they can cause weight gain or that they can cause sweetener, so what is the reality? >> the fda explores all the safety issues. this is a free country. you can bring up whatever issues, but the fda has approved many of these sweeteners. the big three, the pink, the blue, and the yellow are generally recognized as safe and have a food additive classification, which is even more rigid. the plant based are generally recognized as safe. so use them or don't use them as part of a healthy diet. a new study out today goes compared to water, you actually seem to lose more weight using them. you can't replace a meal with a diet drink and think that's going to help you or aborter

you see a lot of houses for sale this time of year. maybe you're thinking about putting your own on the market. there are some industry tricks to finding a buyer fast and getting your asking price. >> here to test our home selling savvy is mike aubrey. mike, good morning. going to puttous the real estate test here. you found some real homes, virtual tours. you're going to show us the homes and we're going to have to guess what's wrong with them. >> absolutely. i think some of it is going to

be obvious. my friends at true place, i want to make sure you understand this, these are not staged. this is a real house that is actually on the market right now. >> all right. so that's a big tease. let's get into the first before picture. >> you got it. okay, so what we're looking at here looks a little bit more like the bates motel than say a house that you might want to go buy. we've got what kind of problems going on? >> curb appeal is bad. grass needs some fixing up. >> that tree. >> the tree is bad. you also are looking at your neighbor's house next door. not identifying exactly the property that you are looking at to buy. i think that the house just looks dark. they talk about selling houses during the spring market. wait just a little while for these trees to start to get leaves and guess what you see -- >> let's see the after. what do we got? >> let's see the aftermath here. okay. there we go. >> boom. instant curb appeal. huge improvement. >> absolutely. >> so is that worth it putting

the money in to fix the grass, get the trees out. is that worth the return you're going to get for fixing it? >> absolutely. i think you've got about two to three seconds, when somebody pulls up to a house, to really grab their attention, or you're going to lose them. in this case, the picture on the left puts us in a scenario where i think people may just drive off. the picture on the right, it's warm, it's inviting, we see all kinds of green outside and somebody wants to go in and see. >> absolutely. let's move on to the next one. this is an area in the house, i guess it shows the breakfast room right when you walk in. this is how they're showing it? >> i swear, there is no schtick here, i am not making this up. this is exactly how they found the house when the photographer went to take pictures. >> never actually painted. >> in terms of that, i like the color on the house. but what's the skinny with the compressor in terms of what kind of work they're going to do? i like the fact that they have something to clean the floor, but you might want to put that away. overall, this is a great room that gets tons of light, but it

just is completely messy. a little bit of elbow grease in here can put you in a situation where somebody wants to buy it. >> there you go. >> remove the clutter. let's see. this is how you stage it, right? >> this looks great. this a clean, orderly room. i think that this makes a buyer want to be in this house. and maybe wants to buy it. here comes my warning. my next picture, again, i promise, this is not staged. this is real. >> going into the family room for this one. >> here we go. >> does the guy come with the house? >> the photographer actually got there and apparently the guy had been painting the breakfast room or something like that, and maybe took a nap, and never woke up while the guy was going through the house. >> the cheetos on the table, too. >> this is a big problem. no doubt about it. you kind of don't want that. i think that this is a nice room and there's a lot of really good stuff that could go with this room, but we're not really identifying the fact that there's really nice hardwood floors in there. there's neutral paint on these

walls. i think you know they've got some great ceiling fans, stuff like that, but it really is lost in just the chaos of the space. >> let's see what you did to it. what does it look like after? there you go. just straighten it up a little bit. >> pretty much. >> real quick, last picture, the bathroom. okay? >> you got it. and our last picture, quickly, i think that this one is another pretty easy one. you look at it -- i mean, just in case you've got grease all over your hands, they were nice enough to leave something to clean that out. i mean, i think we've got a really lose the clouded shower curtain, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. this is just -- there you go. you get rid of everything. it looks clean and it certainly makes a buyer want, in this case, to be in this house. >> all right. mike aubrey, thanks so much. amazing. >> don't sleep on the couch in your own real estate photo. >> pretty bad move. >> some bad virtual tour pictures. coming up next, we've got some simple solutions to your everyday beauty problems, like some simple solutions to your everyday beauty problems, like how

beauty expert jen has much more solutions. they called me in for this segment. >> we've got some thing for you at the end. >> let's talk first about hair and flyaways. what are we doing here? >> do a perfect ponytail and it gets ruined. the best way to fix those is with a toothbrush. you'll take a toothbrush. take your hair spray. any hair spray works. spray it on the toothbrush. then you can just sort of work it to spot treat the flyaways with the toothbrush. danielle can work on it herself over there. what's great about this is if you use a brush, oftentimes you'll end up snagging your hair style. a toothbrush is delicate enough that it's not going to mess up your style and the dense bristles really help to get the hair spray evenly disbursed. >> get those fine hairs, too. what about static? >> static can drive a person crazy in the summer. you can smooth out your strands with the drier sheet.

we'll give her some static. what you'll do is take a drier sheet. a fresh drier sheet. >> scented or unscented? >> it doesn't matter. unscented s probably better. but if you like the scent of one, there you go, hair fragrance. you'll just go over your strands section by section and smooth it out and it works just like it does with your clothing and static to get rid of any sort of flyaways. >> nice. >> and then don't throw this away. when you're done, you can still use it in the drier and then use it to get deodorant stains off a black t-shirt. >> how's that work? >> show us how. >> we've got our deodorant stain right there. all you do is work the drier sheet, keep it dry, don't wet it or anything like that. work it over that deodorant stain and before you know it, your shirt is just like new. >> what is it about a drier sheet that works? could you use something else? >> a drier sheet has just really good friction so it's going to get that graininess of it really helps to get in there. >> and it doesn't leave lint behind. >> so use it on your hair, the

drier, tank top. >> willie just said to me this morning, i lost my eyelash curler, what do i do? >> thank you for bringing that up, tamron. >> you're in luck, because all you need is a teaspoon. you can warm it up in your hands for a second. then hold it right above your eyelid. then you're just going to bend it up, work your lashes along to press them along this curve. and, you know, you get the idea. work it along. then quickly take your mascara while you have that fresh curl and put it on to solidify that curl. and voila. >> that's pretty cool. and this works, right? >> it works. people love this. >> walk around with a spoon in my purse. >> you just really have to press your lashes. the curve of the spoon, that's the curve you'll get on your lashes. >> next up -- >> next up, we've got panty

liners. i think this is one for the demo. where's ross? we've got brave ross over there. >> this is for sweat stains? >> we decided we wouldn't make you take your shirt off today on tv. but ross is going to. pesky sweat stains. ross, come on over. if you're wearing a button down or silk shirt, something that's going to show those sweat stains. >> wow. >> oh, my. >> show time. >> getting a show. >> you take a panty liner. they're thin. they've got good adhesive on the bottom. take your shirt. and here you go. >> how did someone find this out? what person said let me try the panty liner for perspiration? >> i don't know, but i'm grateful they did. press it in. do it on both sides. put the shirt back on. and it's going to absorb any sort of perspiration so you don't get off the subway with sweat stains. >> and it will stay in place. >> it's good and sticky. one more great thing for the

long time. so many people do. people use a wedding or some event as a goal to lose the weight by sometimes people by the outfit in three sizes -- we just did that on how to give your dress size. >> the dress i'm in right now i can't even breathe. >> me neither. but we're going to fight the bloat later. >> a lot of people were not at the wedding. beyonce and jay-z were not there. >> right. >> and anna was supposed to be there but she wasn't there. the new york post ran an article. >> yes. hoda is going to read some of it because i said no. >> here's the thing. it's a very small article. a lot of people run articles that are big and splashy. the new york post ran a teeny bitty article. and it says, i lert, yawn, kimye weds. then it says to -- how would you describe them? horses patooties got married

it exploitive? people thought it should have been delete from the show with just an explanation. >> you sign a waiver when you agree to do those things. you don't open it, they do. >> the weird thing about reality tv is it happened, he's going to be in a lot of shots. i think spending a third of a two-hour show is too much time to be spending with a guy who passed away because you get invested in him and his story and it's hard and painful to watch. >> you have to put yourself in the family's shoes. that will tell you the right thing to do. >> right. a couple other lighter things to get to. >> i hope so. depressed. >> so in seoul, south korea, in case you're wondering, there are women-only parking places. they're bigger. they're closer to the mall. you get -- you're right next to the -- they're wider so you can get in there. and they're marked, clearly marked. some people said, oh, that's sexist. but i like it. i want my space up close with lots of room because when i pull in, you need room to open the

beano. there are four foods that i'm going to show you that have some sort of magical power that actually help to depuff you. the first is summer squash and zucchini. that's because it's loaded with water, low in sodium. it also has potassium. those three attributes work together to get rid of the water. >> we're going to make some -- >> who cares. >> i love bananas. i care. what we're doing is we're making ribbons with the zucchini and the summer squash and it's going to come out to be this lovely low-carb, low-calorie pasta salad. a little bit of lemon juice, parmesan if you want to take a piece. the recipe is going to be on your website. no cheese here. >> okay. >> no cheese here. just a little bit of lemon juice and pepper. easy, right? very low calorie. >> uh-huh. >> next up we have grapefruit. >> sorry.

>> grapefruit is loaded with the water. it's a juicy fruit. it's only 120 calories and it's got the potassium as well. what i like to do is peel it. i take the membranes off and create shaved grapefruit with a little bit of mint. h is a fun thing to do. you can also put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. >> who would have thought to put those two things together. >> i love grapefruit with mint. >> so refreshing. >> you're debloating by the minute. >> i feel better. >> i feel thinner. >> this is my version of a long eye land iced tea. i call it a berkshire iced tea. i made it yesterday. it's incredibly slimming. i take a lemon-ginger tea bag. steep it five minutes in a cup of water. cool it off in the fridge. then you add a shot of grapefruit just. you have the grapefruit now. >> it's good. >> great. >> a shot of rum. >> it's better to not use a straw. sip it straight.

>> you suck? air. >> exactly. >> delicious. >> now we have cucumbers. one cucumber, 45 calories. more than 95% water and it has that potassium so it's going to flush you out. i call this cukes on cukes. greek yogurt, the pro bite tibi settle the stomach a little bit of cumin and cilantro and garlic and pepper. this is on your website as well. lastly, i call these my health freak fries because instead of using potato i'm using hicama slices. it's crunchy and i saturate it with lime juice and a little ground black pepper. >> i'm done. >> joy, home run. >> home run. >> joy, as usual. >> for these recipes go to klg and hoda. first, this is "today" on nbc. > thank you.
