the end of his show he does this thing called -- it's like his moment of zen where you're supposed to take a breath and chill out, but he often uses it for hilarity. apparently, he must have been watching our program. >> oh, dear. >> he used one moment that you had, a hula hooping moment i'm sure you recall very well, as his moment of zen. >> here it is, your moment of zen. >> all right. she always shows off. this is her hidden talent. that and sucking in one nostril. >> at the same time. get a close-up! >> what else? >> i'm sorry. i can't help it if i'm multitalented. >> you really could have hula hooped forever. if given a hula hoop and a period of time, you could have continued on through. >> i felt bad for bobby. >> never got her segment. >> i could have done it the whole time. >> you could have.
2:07 am
>> but here's the thing -- i can't do anything else. when you don't work out, that's not the kind of thing you put on your resume. hula hooper. it's a good workout. it really is. and to be able to do the thing with the nose shows -- but that's all i can do, hoda. the only reason i can is i have enormous hips. you don't have any hoops. >> i can't hula hoop. let's talk about what's annoying you before we get started. >> besides jon stewart? >> we're paging through "glamour" magazine as we tend to do. >> i think a lot of jon stewart. >> very smart. anyway, this is -- it's about men and the title is "31% of men do at work." it ain't work. the answer is brace yourself for what you might think. >> it is what you think. >> they go through and ask questions of men and actually say that the majority of men have actually measured their you know what with a ruler.
2:08 am

2:12 am
because the author was coming on today and i've not been able to stop looking at it. these pictures so make you smile. her name is adell anderson. she's here with "win my baby dreams." she's from finland. she had a newborn and was staying at home, and all parents do this. you're just in wonder about this. so she created different themes. and look at her outfits. stuff around the house. so creative. within two weeks of posting these on her blog -- bookworm -- she had almost a million visitors. this is bookworm. look at surfer girl. the baby is sound asleep. we'll show you many more later. just brilliant. >> she's pregnant again with her second baby. >> she is? another little book coming by. >> this is a pet peeve, a dilemma a lot of people have. pretend you park in a place you shouldn't have, not in an illegal spot but inconvenient for people.
2:13 am
in this particular case, a woman parked her car in front of another lady's house and the lady in the house didn't like this other car being parked in front of her home, she has kids, needs to be able to get in and out. she put a note on the woman's car, please don't park in front of my home. >> even though it's legal. >> this lady had just moved in across the street from her. >> what do you do in this case? the person giving advice, amy, says you should not leave notes. you should go to the person and have a conversation about it, say, hey, look, i've got some issues, i'm sorry, you're blocking things, blah, blah. >> bring a casserole if you do that, you know? don't let it be the first order of business. have a nice little conversation on the way out. say, by the way, park it someplace else, baby. i don't know. you know what, we all have issues. we all live on the same planet with neighbors. there are certain things i would ask neighbors to do, but that's part of being a good neighbor. unless something is dangerous, she has the right to park there.
2:14 am
i think the best way is to always go and very nicely ask. but the woman is not entitled to the parking spot. >> right. >> you know, the woman who lives there and wants her to move the car. she's not entitled to it. >> people do leave notes and sometimes they do because -- this happens in rehoboth sometimes -- there are few places to park and some people straddle two spots. they get in the middle and you can't park in front of them. >> that's just rude. >> yeah. >> i think they should be ticketed for that. that should be a violation. that's just wrong. >> yeah. >> do i have to do everything? >> apparently you do. this is the best news ever we're about to reveal to you. >> you know it, so why is it -- >> here's the thing. say you wear a size 10 shoes. and you -- let's pretend that's your size. now let's say you don't like saying ten because it's double digits. you'd rather say 9 1/2. >> even though it's true. >> some shoe manufacturers are doing vanity sizing. even if you're a 10, when you're
2:15 am
buying them they're 9 1/2. i try a 10 on, way too big, this is huge, i need a 9 1/2. >> ridiculous. you know you wear a 10. what's the point? who are you faking out, the lady that's helping you with your shoes? >> like when you go to a store and you wear a size 12 dress and you try it on at j. crew and it's a 10 and it fits. >> you know you haven't lost weight. >> you're so happy. it feels so good. >> crazy. all right. up next, your boyfriend is here. >> and yours, too. >> in a terrific movie called "man on a ledge." hey, anthony, news break -- you live in new york. the giants are going to san francisco next weekend. >> we gave you eli and brandon jacobs, all right? >> all right, baby. all right. >> and the famous rockefeller center ice rink. all in a day's work for this girl.

all righty. anthony is no stranger around here. we met him two years ago when "hurt locker" received a nomination. >> since then he's made his way from the big screen to broadway and back. he stars in the new thriller called "man on a ledge." >> about a man on a ledge. just standing there. >> and the scene you're about to see, his character tries to talk his former partner off the ledge. >> come on off the ledge. >> i can't do that. >> don't be crazy. come in here. let me help you. >> i always wondered if you were involved in this. >> involved in what? >> there's someone talking to i.a. right now. whose name are they going to come up with? >> i'm your friend. take my hand. >> whose name? what the hell you doing? get away from me! >> go, go, go! >> take him! >> i'm your friend! >> what is happening? >> you got the script.

2:23 am
the 22nd floor of the -- watch the movie. >> i did. >> i don't do cgi. it's real life! >> i know, but you can get a master shot of -- >> no. >> and then go down to the lower floor. >> i'm from new orleans. i go in. i don't want no nets, no strings. tom cruise don't use strings. he run across the building. i don't use no strings. that's real rap. >> you don't talk like that in real life. >> it's my tracy morgan impression. i love tracy morgan. that's great! >> by the way, i love your -- are you depressed about the saints? i'm kind of in a funk. >> you know what, i was sitting there in the stadium and everybody in san francisco was talking trash, and i was, like, you know what, i just want a good game. >> is that really all you wanted? >> and with 1:30 left i looked around and said our defense will fail us again. and everybody was -- >> why would you -- >> because i know them boys. if you put jenkins and porter on somebody, they will fail you. they're too small. we need -- look, so now -- >> you know what, i appreciate his honesty. >> i'm real about it.
2:24 am
>> yeah. >> so now i'm with the giants. brandon jacobs, new orleans, eli manning, new orleans. >> what do you think? san francisco? >> i think the giants will win by ten points because eli has become a man this season. >> yeah, yeah. >> when he said he was an elite quarterback, he meant it. >> do you think it will be the patriots and the giants in the super bowl? >> i can never support tom brady. >> i'm not saying that. >> too pretty, his hair is too nice. >> and he's married to giselle. >> well, you know, she's slim. that's good for him. >> she rocks. >> if he was married to beyonce, there would be some terrorism going on outside his house. so i let that go, you know, so i can't support tom brady. but i'm going with my man ray lewis. >> all right. >> in the meantime, where can we see your movie? >> oh, at the movie theater. don't buy no bootlegs. >> it coming out this saturday, this friday night? >> january the 27th called "man on a ledge." it's about a man on a ledge!
