it is tryday friday, getaway day for everybody for a big weekend. it's june 29th. it's hard to believe we are almost halfway -- no. we've got to be more than halfway through the whole year. aren't there 12 months in a year? >> yes. i heard a rumor. >> all right. >> fourth of july is falling on a wednesday. it's confusing. >> the forefathers did so much right. they didn't get that. >> is this the weekend? >> or is it after the 4th. >> i think you'll see a whole lot of people take off the whole week. we'll be here four, don't worry. >> in one way or another. we are starting off with these awkward money moments. >> we had one the other day. >> which thing? >> we can't talk about it on the air. we were invited to a luncheon only to discover we were the hosts for it.

>> that was weird. >> one awkward money moment is when you're sitting in a big group of people and it's time for the dinner bill to arrive. what happens? if it's a big group, somebody is not going to treat. do you split it based on solely what you ordered or just say there are eight of us, divvy it up eight ways. >> do you pay for the smashed one's ten tequilas even though you had one glass of wine? >> i don't like that.

>> some people are all about the splitting. we take turns. >> we go out almost every wednesday between lunch. between sunny, hoda and i, mostly i -- i'm only kidding, we take turns. one person pays it. >> nothing worth than divvying up at the table. >> no, there is something worse. >> what? >> i can't recall. oh, asking somebody e ining som their salary is. i'll never forget i sat at a table and somebody out of the blue said, how much money do you make? >> are you kidding? >> frank was so -- >> what did you say? >> i said not enough. >> but how much do you make? i'm just wondering. >> not enough. you know what i'm saying. out of the blue. here's the trouble. when you're a well-known person they write in the papers all the time what you're allegedly making. they never say it right about me. >> 25% of the people think it is inappropriate, only 25% think

it's inappropriate to ask your salary. 75% think it's fine. >> why? >> i find that very weird. >> it's very weird. >> they say another thing we hate when it comes to money, when you're pressured to chip in on an office gift for somebody and you don't know them. >> you don't like them. >> no. >> a going away present and you're glad they're going. >> then what do you do? i usually chip in. >> you don't like hassle. >> have you ever been to a store and you put your credit card down and the person runs it and they're calling and i'm sorry, your credit card is declined. you just used it, you know you did, but maybe you tipped it on the last one. that's happened. it's really embarrassing. sometimes you're like, no, no, no. i feel like i've done something wrong even if something is just wrong -- >> you feel judged. >> i do. that's the worst. you know what money thing i love though? only disorganized people are going to understand the wonderful feeling. >> when you find it in your pocket. >> you dig into an old pair of summer shorts.

>> we've been wondering about this. >> unitedhealth care studied sen tearians. >> they say there are some things that they say they get. they sleep eight hours a day. at least. >> models say the way they say looking, they say i sleep ten hours. they sleep a long time. your body is at rest. >> it's tough to be an uber model. >> number two, they always eat a balanced meal. they have great communication with a friend or family member. >> models or people -- oh, that's right, 100-year-olds. >> they have a friend, they pray, meditate or participate in some spiritual activity every day. that i agree with. >> and they exercise almost daily. okay. those are all things. >> putting in your teeth and taking them out, is that considered? come on, does that count? we don't do any of those. i do the workout, i eat balanced

diet. >> sleeping and eating i don't do as much. today we are going to find out, aren't we? we kept a log of things. >> if you took a log of what you ate the minute you woke up and closed your eyes and fell asleep, what do you think would be on the list. >> if you actually tell the truth.

in the new film tyler perry's "madea's witness protection," a wall street investment banker is set up as a fall guy and needs to hide out in a safe house till the heat dies down. >> actor eugene levy plays the investment banker who has to break the news to his wife denise richards. >> i had no idea this was going on. i walked into the office and there's walter saying, what is

in your desk, shred everything. i'm going, what's going on? he said, you're going to take the fall for this because it's a ponzi scheme! >> hello. >> nothing better than a good ponzi scheme. >> no. >> we've seen a bunch of clips from this. we love tyler perry. he always, always delivers. >> it's a very funny movie. and i have to say he's a very funny man. >> and a sweet man, isn't he? >> he's great. he's a very sweet man. >> have you been down to atlanta where he's put half the state to work? >> yeah. the tyler perry studios. >> he's doing for atlanta what oprah did for chicago. >> he sure is. >> it's awesome. >> what did you think when you heard you were cast in a tyler perry movie it? seems like an unusual casting. >> well, i didn't really question what was kind of going on before i saw the script, but i was very excited when i got asked to be in the movie. and the fact that i got -- was getting a chance to work with tyler perry, that was the big thing for me. because i thought, man, this

is -- this man is iconic. >> he really is. his story is extraordinary. >> they say the same thing about you. they sent us a bunch of clips speaking about the actors and actresses. ed he -- he said being able to work with you guys were mano y mano on the set with jokes. >> well, i think he had more than i did on the day. i got into this thinking i was going to play straight man, which was another thing that excited me about this. my role originally in the script was straight, which appealed to me. the idea that i was playing straight to madea, playing a straight man. when we started shooting, he opens it up and tells you, you know what? why don't you on this one veer off and go a little nutty. >> so you don't have to stick to the script? >> exactly. >> so you're in the witness protection program in madea's

home. >> right. >> hiding a white family of five in madea's neighborhood is funny to start with. >> yeah. that's what she says. we don't even have white cars in the neighborhood. how are we going to hide them? it's great. i'm telling you, being on the set with tyler perry as madea and uncle joe -- >> that's great. >> and here's the great thing about tyler perry. >> you don't know whether to say "you he or she. >> well, you never know. you're acting with madea but when he says cut, it's like, who is it now? it's fun watching him. he puts the camera -- when he gets the camera isolated on to a close-up on himself especially, he just goes crazy. completely off script. you know the funny thing is when you read the script, there may be one line in there that reads kind of funny for madea. but when he does it, he

improvises pages. >> oh, he does? >> and that's what he uses in the movies. that's the gold. >> isn't that great? this was your 59th, who's counting, movie. >> that's right. >> i cannot remember anything you were ever in that wasn't just fabulous. you are so, so good. >> yeah. >> it's hard -- i think my favorite so far -- and i haven't seen this movie yet -- is "best in show." >> yeah. >> "best in show". >> do you have a favorite of all 59? >> "for your consideration." i love that one. >> "waiting for guffman." all the movies i did with chris guest i have a soft spot for. i had fun doing "bringing down the house" with steve martin and queen latifah and of course "american pie" is great part of my life. kind of turned things around for me. >> we are huge fans of yours. thank you for coming to see us. >> you're welcome to drink the glass of wine we provided for you.

carole -- my mother-in-law often makes comments about what i'm doing and saying when i confront my husband, he says i'm taking it the wrong way. how can i express i take these things personally? >> this is a good one. it happens to a lot of people. your husband needs to do a better job being the relay man between the two of you. but at the core of this is, you need to respond in the moment to your mother-in-law. you're an adult, she is an adult. just because she's your mother-in-law, she doesn't have special power over you. talk to her the way you talk to another woman. say, i don't like being told how to raise my children. >> ooh, willie. >> open the lines of communication. judge, tone though. >> people only have power over you if you give it to them. >> it's a little like prison. if you show you're weak early, you're in trouble. >> all right, who else do you have, sara? >> i'm here with linda from wisconsin. >> hi. i'd like to know why don't men ask directions when they're lost? >> this is it an age-old

question. >> do they know their lost? >> they won't admit they're lost. this is why an industry of gps devices was created for men. we are a boo to the economy, our inability to ask for directions. it's a pride issue. we know we don't know where we are going. if we admit we don't know, we lost something. we will never admit it. >> it's all about impotence. >> we'll act like men have some sort of sixth sense, i have an internal compass that will guide us off this small mountain road. we'll probably disappear. >> i see the sun rise in the east. that's frank. so he knows where west is. >> it's pride. >> go ahead, sara. this is from abby -- why does my husband continue to put his bowl in the sink -- >> his what? >> his bowl. >> i'm sorry it's the second thing that goes. >> it doesn't dry in there, how can i get him to stop doing that?

>> if he's leaving those in the sink you have a bigger problem than dishes. let's get back to the topic, if we could, please. very serious segment. i want to get back to the topic. guys, if you're leaving your bowl in the sink, this goes back to the question of boy becoming a man. put it in the dishwasher. watch how long this takes. count for me. >> 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004 -- >> five seconds. >> what is the right technique? >> leave it there. leave it there let his dishes pile up. then he says, why are the dishes there? because you left them there and we don't have a maid. put your dishes in the dishwasher. it will save the dishes and save your relationship. >> what a nice tag line. we've got to go. you rock. that's it. >> you are so lovely. we love you. >> keep them out of the sink. that's a rule at our house. up next -- how to create those sexy celebrity styles at home, right

also, what i did here i added extra lighter color to give her some dimension. you can play with these colors. >> what do you do, wrap your hair around the doughnut? >> you pull the donut through the ponytail. then you clip this on. then all that hair, wrap it and use two hair pins to secure it. >> and it makes you like six inches taller. i like that. >> we like it. >> next up, what do we call this? >> this is a -- >> >> finger curl. >> the wet look is very in. finger waves. it's like old school hollywood which is very hot today. you can see -- everyone in hollywood -- i will demonstrate how to do this. it's very easy. it's not as complicated as it looks.

it's a fishbone. mika kelly had it. instead of three pieces of hair, you use two. you just crisscross and it will give you the look. it doesn't have to be so perfect. >> a messy braid is so pretty. >> it is great. >> this is just a bit much. >> with lee, it really works. >> you rocked it stepping into the spotlight. >> lee, we'll be seeing you soon. we are excited for you. hoda, what's up next? >> we'll find out your eating personality and how you can drop extra pounds. then we take a trip to the zoo with julie scardina. let's check in on the next seven days, watching a couple disturbances across the country. much-needed rain in texas, we need that. what we find across the great

lakes, hopefully nothing like what we've been dealing with, showers and thunderstorms pushing across the ohio valley, hopefully not a repeat of friday, with big storms pushing into the nation's capital. cool and comfortable across the northwest. everybody else, it is a heat wave to end all heat waves. it is brutal out here, 101 in d.c., 106 in atlanta, that will be the all-time record high. we've already done that in columbia, south carolina, nashville, tennessee. these triple digits expand all the way back toward the southwest. how good does seattle look at 70 degrees? as we go into the day sunday, still again just a few isolated thunderstorms right along the northern edge of that ridge where there's just a little bit of weakness. some of us are rooting for thunderstorms but they tend to be strong under this scenario. texas, we'll take whatever we can get. no real changes for the northwest or temperaturewise through time. look at sunday's forecast, the heat just building for some of us, 101 d.c., 91 new york city, 95 chicago.

you get the idea, right? 98 in billings, 69, again, very comfortable across the northwest. a lot of these cities flirting with phoenix-like temperatures. into the day monday we go. no changes, again, still cool on the corners, beautiful up and down the west coast. if you're looking for the 60s and 70 s, that doesn't change fr a few days. 97 in dallas, the rain going away for us in texas. into tuesday we go, more of the same, little busier across the northern tier of the country, a little heat relief across the southeast, dropping to 94 in atlanta. we'll take it. then appreciable rains into wednesday, new york down toward atlanta and finalizing the next seven days, more storms for the southeast. you can catch "wake up with al" weekdays 6:00 a.m. don't miss it.

are you a grazer or do you stick to three meals a day? do you love protein or crave carbs?

when it comes to dieting, one size does not fit all? >> madelyn is here to show us how to identify our eating personality and how doing that will help us lose some weight. we all have one? >> we all have one. if you're honest with yourself, you say, what do i naturally like? there are four different eating types most people fall into. you girls were nice enough to keep your own food records. >> just for one day. >> but that gets you thinking what kind of eating personality you have. so let's begin. the most popular is the grazer versus three meals a day. grazing means you want to eat all through the day. you can actually do this successfully. there are pros and cons to each. but if you want to eat all through the day, this is about a lunch, probably around 500 calories. so if you want to divide it up all through the afternoon instead of having something you would have at noon, you could spread it out or eat it all at once. >> does your body digest it differently?

is it better for your mojo so to speak? >> it isn't better at all unless you have a medical illness like diabetes. you can have structured meals three times a day, but that's all you need. but you can overconsume because you're constantly thinking about food. we are fueling all day, but for what? think about that. >> are you a grazer? >> are you a grazer or do you eat structured three times a day? >> i don't eat three times a day. i barely eat in the morning and i love lunch. that's my main meal and i rarely eat dinner. >> so what i would say is you're more of a structured eater. >> i should be a size zero. >> we are not counting that today. hoda, you're more of a grazer. you eat throughout the day. >> she's a horse. she eats all day. >> it's a lot. >> it's like a trough. >> what do you mean a trough? >> a horse eats at a trough. >> this is easier to figure out. we have the protein lover or carb craver. what do you gravitate to normally? >> the carbs.

>> but if this were available, i'd eat this. but the oatmeal is available here if the crew actually leaves us one. these guys can eat! it's unbelievable. >> you naturally gravitate to this. would you look for this? or eat what's there? protein or the carbs. >> you're going to be out of focus the next three weeks. >> i look better out of focus, right anthony? >> now we have something -- think about this. this is taste versus volume, okay? the taste person is, i just want intense sweetness, real fat, real sugar, or i don't care what it tastes like as long as it's a lot. >> taste. i'd rather have something small of delicious. >> 300 calories for a single scoop of the real stuff or three scoops of things edited down. lower fat. less sugars. >> when hoda was telling me what was on her list, it was hilarious. >> i had five lifesavers, six donut holes, half a donut, part of a brownie.

this was all before a show. that's what i eat. >> we are going to where your speciality is. >> she gets all those donuts and feels bad about it so she plops an orange in the middle. >> i want people to think i'm eating fruit. >> are you a sweet tooth or a fat tooth? >> sweet. >> you can satisfy this in all kinds of ways. have it with fruit, have it with smaller amounts of things that you're doing when you're nibbling on those things. then you have a fat tooth. these are things that people who like smooth and creamy things. they're not really into sweets. they don't like sweet tastes. like a low-calorie ice cream oreo gurt or yogurts or a latte. what do you like? you don't have a sweet or fat tooth? >> i like salty. i really would prefer to have chips and guacamole. >> thank you. i feel thinner. what happened? up next, why do we need our zoos? find out when we come back. but first this is "today" on nbc. ♪ elephant and buffalo and beagle ♪

now on "today's call of the wild," why we need zoos. if you ever stared at animals

through that plexiglass walls, you might be surprised to find out zoos can be their only hope for survival. >> for the 175 million people who attend accredited american zoos and aquariums every year, it's an opportunity for families to do something together while learning about animals, an incredible diversity of nature. julie scardina is here to tell us more. >> julie! >> julie! >> hi, ladies. >> this is a beautiful animal. it's a bobcat. >> that's right. this is jerry. >> we have a jerry, too. >> they're both adorable. >> they are both adorable. >> jerry is actually one of our most plentiful cat in the u.s., but so many cat species are in peril these days. up to 80%. the lions, the tigers, the cheetahs you might meet at busch gardens or around the world are in peril. >> his mother was a rescue, right? >> that's right. >> he's not vicious? >> he was hand raised so he certainly is comfortable around people. he is one of our ambassador animals.

>> cody doesn't like him. >> the awareness you get when you go to meet animals at a zoo or see animals at a zoo, you do realize we need to help these animals in the wild. some of the most passionate people are people that work at the zoo. they become inspired and go on to save those animals. >> bye, jerry. we'll go ahead and let jerry jump off. there you go. we'll bring out another really popular species at the zoo. here come our penguins. >> oh, these are -- >> everybody loves penguins. >> oh, they're just ridiculous. >> oh, look at this one! >> he says, hey, what happened to my girlfriend? >> you want to come up? >> shall i get him? >> no. that's all right. >> he'll peck your eyes out. >> kathie lee, hang on to this one. >> yes. >> just put your hands around -- there you go. i'll go ahead and pick him up. >> hoda, be nice to the penguins. >> i'm trying be. oh, that's sweet!

>> people don't realize that, as popular as penguins are, 13 to 18 species of penguins are in decline. the great thing about zoos is we share our expertise and knowledge about raising and caring for animals. so back in 2000 when there was a major oil spill off of south africa, 20,000 penguins were saved not only by seaworld personnel but by professional zoos around the world. even now, we are doing what's called a chick bolstering program helping chicks abandoned by their parents because they can't find enough food and helping raise those chicks to go back out into the wild. >> okay. here he goes. >> he likes hoda, but hoda doesn't like him. >> shall we go to the tank? let's go to the tank. >> here are some of our bamboo sharks which are also hatched out at seaworld. >> you can't get up close and snugly with them, right? >> you actually can. you can put your hand in there. they have a weird feeling skin if you go one direction or the other. >> are they alive?
