and hoda kotb, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. congratulations, you made it. >> it's friday. >> it's try day friday, march 4th. jenna bush hager is in for kathie lee gifford. listen -- it's called lush life. >> i knew you were going to say that. >> i also include myself. this is someone named sarah larson. yeah, see. >> this is a good weekend song. kick off your weekend. lying around the house? we'll show you how you can make money off of that stuff. and so many people have a little trouble getting a good night of sleep. i've not been sleeping well this week. we'll get you the tools. >> and if you're looking for an interesting way to keep in shape, these firefighters have

it's a hot program, called the firefighters work-out. >> you got me. >> we can't wait. me may not even work out. but we get to hang with them. plus, all of those activities, i need this, when i call my mom and i'm like, nina's in ballet, and she's 2 1/2, are they necessary? so we'll tell you what to do to raise a successful child. >> and all of those activities, we have a question for you. you're in traffic, someone cuts you off, you're alone in the car, no kid, how many times do you totally pound on the steering wheel and yell [ bleep ]? whatever your word of choice, do you feel better when you're done? don't you feel relieved? there is science behind this. they told "new york magazine" that it feels satisfying to scream out a curse word because it is so taboo and it is a

because if you say, oh, shoot or -- >> but there are some words that, for example, we took mila to a museum. she was sitting on the potty. i was about to go. now mommy has to go. we're already sort of dirty. i stand up, my phone has fallen from my back pocket into the toilet with both of -- and i beep! >> what did she say? >> she was like, mom! times. >> she copied you a few times? >> yes. >> it's the worst, and that's what gets you in check. you do not want a 2 1/2-year-old going to school and dropping a book and going, beep! >> they say if you put your hand in a bucket of cold water and you swear a lot, you can keep it in longer. i remember babysitting a little kid, and he was having a great time and he yelled out the f-bomb while i was babysitting

i didn't even say it. so all i could think of is, when i leave and his parents come home, he's saying and and me. he saw how crazy i went when he said the word -- >> henry and i could not help but laugh, we were like, oh no. and that's not good. but the other reason i think it is fun to swear is that it is taboo, but it shocks people. so if you're a person -- >> who they don't expect to see -- >> like my mother, sometimes she does it with friends of hers that are a little older and slightly more conservative and she'll just go -- f and everybody -- she used to do it to us. and we look at our mom and we're like, mom! it does work for people like us, but for real ladies, for real classy ladies -- mom! >> it's funny. even when kathie lee does it,

but when she does, you do a double-take. >> although she cusses at me a lot. >> that's a whole different animal. i don't know if you were watching the oscars, but there was a picture of whoopi goldberg and some beauty company who thought it was oprah winfrey. >> which is ridiculous. do they look alike? >> no. >> not at all. >> but we do realize -- they pollapologized and what not, but we do realize that a lot of celebs look similar. we're going to have a game, two celebrities, and name who is who. shailene woodley and jennifer lawrence. jennifer lawrence is on the right. >> that's easy. >> next, lake bell and amanda peet.

have bangs. they both do -- >> okay, here is orlando bloom. and kit harrington. upon orlando bloom is on the right. can we just say for a minute because we know what they look like because we have looked at them in magazines, we oogled them. >> we oggled. we ago -- oogelled. >> we google them on the internet. >> jordin sparks and america ferrera. jordin is on the left. yeah. >> they do look similar. >> isla fisher and amy adams. >> amy on the right. >> amy on the left. exactly. >> their eye colors are different. >> oh, yeah, they are. >> but by the way, that is something.

>> once i got mistaken for hulk hogan's daughter. >> wait, what's her name? >> brooke. they said you look like the daughter of, the daughter of -- >> have you ever heard that before? >> no, but she is really fun, i like her a lot, but -- and mariel hemingway. >> oh, that's interesting. >> what about you? >> i get gayle king all of the time. they're like, i love your best friend oprah, and i just say -- >> i wonder if that's more that you're in similar work -- >> i think there are similarities. there are days when we -- >> it's too late. >> all right. this is -- we have a question for you guys. does your husband like to dance? >> yes. >> joel likes to dance, too. >> don't you think that's a prerequisite? i know it is for me.

>> or that wants to dance. as long as they don't dance crazy weird, i think a guy that likes to enjoy himself, yay. i don't even mind if they're not good at it. >> no. >> so here are some questions that some couples had. >> buzzfeed did this. >> they asked them to imitate each other's dance moves. >> he crosses first. >> repetitive, a lot of this, a lot of this -- >> she dances like a overexcited school teacher. it's a lot of -- [ laughter ] >> she dances and she goes there she goes, there she goes, she's just -- >> commentary, that's it. >> i love it. >> how does henry dance? >> by the way, and go. when i first fell in love him, we kissed to little troy.

would go like this. i don't know if he just -- it was like he was gambling and doing dice. and i was like -- >> was that the first time you saw him? >> i was like, oh, my gosh, he would probably say that i'm like the mom dancer. what are y'all saying back there about me? >> you are the mom dancer. >> what are you saying? i see you turning red. >> oh, you know what, don't ask them. >> oh, gross! [ laughter ] don't ask them. don't be nasty. >> i want to hide somewhere. i'm horrified. >> that's the last time i've ever danced. how does joel dance? >> joel keeps it -- joel's a jock, so he keeps it close, but he does sometimes extend the arms a little. >> arms out. >> i was watching with those arms.

how about do you ever slow dance -- sometimes we will slow dance to music in the house? don't you love when you put on a little slow country and it's like seventh grade slow dancing. >> yes, yes. we have one of our jams. >> i do love that. i do love a slow dance in the house is one of the funnest -- >> we actually do family sunday evening dance parties and we put on whatever mila wants. to? >> mostly "frozen." and swing low sweet chariot. >> oggled. >> it's googling. >> no, it is not oogel. >> does anyone have a phone with

>> we'll do it during the commercial -- >> we want to google ogle. >> no, it is ogle. >> does anyone have a phone with all right, is that it? do we have more to talk about or are we going to break? okay. here is something interesting, you guys. >> i mean, the wheels have come off. >> in england, when it's that time of the month, some companies have designated those specific days where women are having a time of the month they can have a day off and not take it as a sick day. they say some women have a really difficult time, they're doubled over, it's very painful, they're cranky, et cetera, et cetera. so now they can take the day off. we were talking about this in the makeup room. we thought it seems silly. for one thing, once you work with the same group of people over and over again, you sync. >> so everybody would be off. >> it would be like a ghost town. i can't come in and neither can you or anyone.

husband wishes this existed is that he had the day off. the day when the hormones get going -- ogle. >> it's -- >> you said oogel. >> no, i didn't, i said ogle. come here, please. i want you to tell me what it says exactly. this is davey, this is one of our researchers. >> he's the one that made fun of me. >> tell me what it says exactly. ogling. thank you, thank you. go ahead. you can say it. >> congratulations. >> that was not even -- >> congratulations, you win the pronunciation contest like it was ever -- my 2 1/2-year-old can pronounce words better than i can. we got it, it runs in the family. if you can't sleep, your mind is racing all of the time, find out how to flip that switch and catch some zs after this.
