>> you know what? seattle has the reputation for being, you know, wet all the time. and having spent almost two months there, some of the most beautiful weather i ever had. absolutely gorgeous. very hilly. and like san francisco. so it creates all kinds of hazards. >> they closed some schools. a lot of flight cancellations. looking at snow it makes me want a little here. we haven't had any snow here. >> hoda! >> i'm just saying. >> you don't commute like i do. have a heart for all of us that come in from the suburbs. >> a lot of people go to meals and you have your phone with you. and sometimes you can help but take a peek at it, at inappropriate times during a meal. you were talking about that commercial. >> there's a new commercial with at&t where a couple is trying to have a romantic dinner. the woman catches him using his phone.

2:37 am
>> you're supposed to give me a hint back there. >> true. [ buzzer ] >> oh, no. >> she was going say false. >> that's one of those things. people think if you do crunches it will flatten it out. you can't spot reduce. you have to do 250,000 crunches to lose one pound of body fat. that's what you're trying to get rid of to reveal those rippling abs. go to the gym and work your whole body if you want to shed the fat. >> where are you from? >> melbourne, australia. >> by law how accurate must the calorie information be on a nutrition facts panel. within five calories? within 20 calories. no more than 5% off or more than 20% off. maybe it's different in australia, so maybe this is not a fair question. >> we use kilogels. i'll say 5%. [ buzzer ] >> this is going to surprise you. >> the correct answer. there's 20% leeway there?
2:38 am
>> 20% leeway. this is shocking. if you ate every single meal with 20% variance in the wrong direction that's 30 extra pounds of weight at the end the year. that's because the restaurants say the food packagers say it's difficult to nail that. 20% is a lot of wiggle room. >> back across to kathie lee. >> gentleman from new orleans. true or false you should work out every single day if you want to lose weight. >> false. >> how do you know that? >> how is that false? that's false. >> it is false because your muscles need rest and relaxation to rebuild themselves. when you do strength training, resistant training, even on the tread mill your body needs down time to help repair itself. three days a week usually enough. >> okay. four days of rest. i like it. >> jerry here is from the jersey shore. jerry, wow. how many tea spoons of sugar are in a can of soda, three, six, eight or ten?
2:39 am
>> i would say ten. >> yes. >> a smart girl from the jersey shore. >> okay. she meant that in a nice way. so ten. >> that's right. >> oh, my gosh. >> this is still shocking. if you want an example of how crazy this is. take a glass of water and try to dissolve that much sugar in it. you'll get an idea of why you should stay away from full sugar colas. >> they say diet sodas make you put on weight. why is that? >> it could be psychological. as much as anything es. but if you are into soda, go for the diet and not the full sugar. >> this sweet guy is from long island. he's rooting for the giants this weekend. what is the minimum amount of time you can work out each day and still lose weight. is it eight minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 45? >> i'll go with c. [ buzzer ] >> wow. >> that's rude. so the minimum amount of time you can work out each day to lose wait is 15 minutes.
2:40 am
>> that's right. that's all you need on the gym. a lot of people get on the tread mill and go to sleep. if you're doing strength training, you only need 15 minutes a day. actually more likely to stick to your workout if that's as much time as you need in the gym. >> it's all calories. isn't that the deal? >> if you build muscle. not arnold schwarzenegger size muscle. that muscle burns fat sitting there. if you're nicely tone, you can keep that weight off longer. >> ladies from gainesville, florida. which has more carbohydrates, an apple or orange. >> i'm from florida, so i'll say orange. >> i like her reasoning. the correct answer is an apple. >> it's an apple. don't let that dissuade you because it's not that much more carbohydrates than orange and has more antioxidants which are
2:41 am
good for health benefits. >> doesn't an apple have a lot of fiber. >> it does. keep you fuller longer. >> like it. back across to kathy. >> a lady from baltimore. she's rooting for the ravens. you are more likely to purchase unhealthy foods at the supermarket if you are using a shopping cart or a basket. >> i'd say a shopping cart. [ buzzer ] >> no one can get anything right. >> a lot of anger here. >> okay. the correct answer is basket. surprising because you think with a cart you would have more room to throw in more stuff. >> a stumper. what researchers think having that basket on your arm, cradling that basket it activates your nurturing instinct so you're more likely to go for the feel good junk foods. >> matt, thanks. all good information. thanks for coming to see us. kathie lee is on our way back. guess who is with us. donnie, donnie, deutscheman, right after this. [ male announcer ] when do you take 5-hour energy?

2:47 am
if he's not telling you he loves you after a year and a half then he doesn't. >> what if he doesn't tell his mother. >> then he's a closed off guy. i'm on the street, and i'm like, i love you, babe. >> next up, shelly is asking, she had a blind date, real nice guy. they talked and joked for hours. she told him she was having a good day. she texted him the next day to thank him. she's never heard back. >> you know, there's a great expression it is what is it. you can justify, maybe he's on a business trip. he obviously is just for whatever not interested. you might disagree. i know it's good manners to text after the date. let him give the response. whenever a girl does that even though it's nice, she's really -- let the guy say i had a great time. obviously it's a polite thing to do. don't do it. >> five different guys were texting to my daughter. she says mom it's so simple never be available. how did you get so wise. >> she figured out the magical
2:48 am
formula at a young age. >> next up from bonnie. i want to know why my husband won't admit he's wrong. is that a man thing? >> i don't think it is. honestly that's completely gender irrelevance. i've been with women who can't say i'm sorry. there are men who can't say i'm sorry. some people are like that. i don't think that's a man thing at all. >> but it's more of a man thing wouldn't you say? >> honestly? i've only dated women. i've been with women. and i've been with a bunch of women where it's not in them. there are men like that also. >> that's a huge problem in a person if they can't say i'm sorry. that's as important to learn to say that as it is to say i love you. >> next is from cindy. why is it that when a man is sick the world comes to a stop. when i'm sick taking care of the kids and house goes on. men are big babies. >> because we are.
2:49 am
that's true. i'm the biggest baby. women are stronger. i'm not just saying this to make nice with the audience. women are stronger. stronger in dealing with pain. they make babies. we are bigger babies and women are stronger in every way. >> if it bothers a woman what should she say? or should she say something to her husband? >> say hey you like to be taken care of? i go back to this, you have to say stuff. i get you're a baby but sometimes i like to act like a baby also. man up. >> christie wants to know why is it when her guys buddies call her, the mom, he's out the door in a flash but if i need help the response is tomorrow. >> there's a lot of themes we keep getting about men taking their women for grant it. as a woman you can't let it happen. you got to call men on the mat and say dude you're mother called you, your buddy called you.
2:50 am
i call it open direct communication. you know we need to be told. we need to be smacked around sometimes. it's that simple. >> in a loving way. >> i was just waiting -- your eyes went twinkle, twinkle. >> love our deutscheman. >> thank you, donnie. >> coming up next, guys -- he's sorry. to text or not to text a thank you note. what do you think? >> you know what i think. >> know what you think right after this. good morning. a lock at your seven-day forecast as we track quite a bit of winter weather across the country. we've been following our big storm moving through the northwest, expecting more rain and snow mix around the seattle area. very heavy rain through western oregon and parts of northern california. the bay area will see the low clouds. could interrupt travel at sfo with the fog and the showers

2:55 am
is that about the norm, do you think, one-third? >> i thought that was not so bad. that was pretty good. >> it surprised me. because of the world we live in today. >> but then we have 14% who never write a thank you note for anything. not a job internship interview, not any interview or a gift. >> why? >> probably weren't raised to do it. >> when do you think a child a young person should write a thank you note? >> they should learn at a young age by drawing pictures or something. but as soon as they get a gift. if they learn the art of closing a circle. you know so that they receive something, they say thank you, they send a note, a card, a picture. if you establish this behavior for any gift that they receive then it will become part of their life. >> e-mails are such a part of kid's lives now. they don't know how to write in cursive. >> they have no penmanship. cody writes something to me and i can't understand it.
