dancers. and i come strolling up at 15, like freaking out that justin timberlake was there. and he's like you have big feet for a girl. and i -- i'm sure he doesn't remember this at all. but i was so impressionable. i thought the world of him. 16 years later, it stuck with me. it really scarred me emotionally. >> she wears -- >> a size 10, which is fine. if you're tall like she is. >> and you are. >> people often go, well what size? well you're really tall. how much do you weigh? i'll say 152. well, that's because you're tall. bu >> i think it's weird. >> in proportion in you know what i mean. >> you don't forget. think about a cruel thing someone said to you when you were a kid. >> you never forget the cruelties. you never forget the kindnesses. you try to forgive the cruelties. you do remember. >> you remember. >> but you can't forget. >> so this thanksgiving when you guys are all sitting around the thanksgiving table and someone's about to say something, think twice before you blurt out something that might not be

we have a bachelor update. >> come on, amanda. >> to tell us all about it is our guest, the beautiful amanda avery. >> so there's drama in bachelor world. i'm going to take you back to a year ago when ben higgins was the bachelor. remember him? he looked like peter brady. that's how we kind of remember him. he ended the show with a proposal to lauren. they were going to live happily ever after. they got their own spin-off reality show that we've been -- wedding. full-fledged wedding planner mode. she's picking out dresses. this week on the show, the show brought in a therapist to kind of talk to them. it was supposed to be funny. and to kind of check in and play like newlywed-style games. the topic of the wedding came up and all of a sudden he burst into tears. >> don't do that, guys, oh, don't do that. >> take a look. >> i don't want us to rush it.

figuring out. i think making a commitment like marrying somebody involves knowing what you're getting into. there's still things we need to know. >> i have no idea what just happened. i had no idea that ben was feeling this way. and i feel completely blindsided. >> i feel like we have so much me at this point to, like, really feel comfortable getting married. >> so you're saying the wedding is off? >> yeah, i am. >> wait, should have postponed. >> yeah, so this is the big wedding, like they were going to have a big -- i'm holding hope

>> what do you think? >> i watched the show and she has been so gung-ho with the wedding and you can see him pulling back and getting glassy eyed. this was a bombshell though. for him to say -- because they probably have some kind of deal going or this was going to be a televised wedding. they did go to chris harrison the host and say officially the wedding has been called off. >> oh. >> now saying that, there's two episodes left of this reality show which follows the ups and downs of the relationship so we will see. >> some people do get that way wedding. the girl's planning and planning and the guy's retreating. >> the crying thing is -- >> no, i believed his tears. >> i believed it too. he did break down. they even went wedding cake shopping and she picked out a coconut wedding cake. he's like, i'm allergic to coconut. shouldn't we know these things before we get married? so it's these little things that happened. >> i love when amanda visit us.

the one that comes out of the oven just like the picture. perfect gorgeous bird. that's what most our callers are asking about. it's our favorite actually. and the turkey is just brushed with oil, put it in the oven and close the door. >> oh, so don't use a bag? don't tent it? >> you can put it down, colin. >> so if you use a bag, it's a little different. it's more steaming than a roasting method. >> we hope you guys can hear at home -- >> i'm sorry, we're having a little bit of issues with the call breaking up a bit. but she said don't put it in a bag, stick it in the oven. >> here's the thing, use the butterball, and when the little temperature thing pops out, it's done. there you go. presto. >> we prefer if you have an oven thermometer. >> see, an oven thermometer. >> you're not selling your own birds? >> no, 170 in the breast, 180 in

sterling k. brown was studying economics but he was bitten by the acting bug and he changed his major to theater. >> it hasn't worked out very well. >> we're so glad he did because he has a knack for picking some incredible shows like his role as burton for seven seasons on the military drama "army wives" and most recently his emmy-winning, may i add, turn as christopher darden on the smash hit "the people versus o.j. simpson crime story." the best shows on television. critically acclaimed nbc series "this is us." he plays randal who was adopted as a newborn by the pierson family. nothing says family like teasing your siblings. take a look. >> excited to meet your girlfriend? >> olivia is not my girlfriend and you're going to be cool. you're going to be cool, right? >> i'm as cool as the other side

it's amazing. >> you guys seem to get along like nobody's business or else you're great actors. >> you know what it is, you can't fake camaraderie. we have a genuine love and affection for each other. we get a chance to show that in front of the camera. we're great people that enjoy each other's company, that's it. >> did you have any idea it would be this massive a response? >> we knew that from the beginning there's a lot of buzz from the trailer because the trailer had like 95 million but until people actually watch it, you never know how it's going to be received. >> it's such a crap shoot, isn't it? >> it really is. >> well, you came off that emmy win playing christopher darden, which was amazing. just reliving you up on the stage receiving your award and what you said in the end about your wife and how she -- what did you say, rocks your chain? >> hottest chick in the game. >> something like that. >> am i close? >> the hottest chick in the game

>> and then every other person who came up started to say the same thing. it's crazy. >> that night, do you feel like it's one of those life. changing nights for you? >> yeah. it was an out of body experience. >> first of all, when i walked up on stage, first of all, said my name, which you don't know if that's going to happen or not. my cast mates who are all fantastic who are nominated as well. other people from fx. so when i walked up, on stage, people were standing up applauding me. >> they don't do that unless it's deserved. we're so happy to have you. god bless. the decision to ride on and save money. he decided to save money by switching his motorcycle insurance to geico.

with their car and left the scene. he had to be airlifted to the hospital 45 minutes away where he was admitted to the icu for internal bleeding and a broken pelvis and back. my parents were driving from wisconsin to florida where they had rented a condo. they were in nashville when i made the dreaded call. they immediately turned around and drove straight to our house in minnesota to help out with our two kids, griffin and alis. brian was in the icu for six weeks undergoing multiple surgery, procedures and dialysis. uncertain. with the hospital so far away, i couldn't commute back and forth either day. my parents stayed the entire time so i could be with brian 24/7. they took the kids to school, to all their extracurricular activities. they helped them with their homework and comforted them when needed. griffin said it best, meme and papa took us to school a little late the first day back. after that day, it felt pretty normal. as the weeks went on, my mom kept reassuring me, you need to be with brian, we have the kids.

taken care of, i was able to concentrate on brian's recovery for his entire three-month hospital stay. my parents put their entire lives on hold. there is no real way to thank them or express how grateful we are for all they did f uors. they truly symbolize the meaning of family and the sacrifices parents make for their children. >> beautiful. now we get to meet shawna, her husband brian and her amazing parents, luanne and jim are here. so great to have you all here. this was recent, so how are you >> feel great. >> yeah. long time in that hospital. >> it was a long time, yes. >> i mean, when you think about your parent's support, because you always wonder what we woulder do when we got into this kind of situation. i mean, i guess you had no doubt that your mom and dad would be there lickety-split, huh? >> absolutely. >> describe what they meant to you during the time. >> just being in the hospital,
