their purses, their handbags. it's sort of human nature. if you're not grabbing your kids, if you're in the in that situation where you're a parent you surround yourself with your possessions and get out. >> we're not going to judge what they were going through. maybe there was no fire or smoke where they were sitting and they had two seconds to reach down and grab the bag in front of you. >> but still a big no no in any situation. just get out. make sure you're safe an your loved ones are safe. >> grab the cigarettes and liquor you bought. there's more in san francisco. making the rounds this morning, a 1998 interview getting hot online, dustin hoffman talking to the american film institute. he gets very emotional talking about his role in the 1981 film "tootsie" he hadn different idea about how he viewed women after he put on that costume and

hair and make up the first time. >> i was shocked that i wasn't more attractive and i said now you have me looking like a woman. now make me a beautiful woman because i thought i should be beautiful if i was going to be a woman. i would want to be as beautiful as possible and they said to me that's as good as it gets and i know that if i met myself at a party i would never talk to that character because she doesn't fulfill physically the demands that we're brought up to think we have to -- that women have to have in order for us to ask them out. there's too many interesting women i have -- i have -- i have not had the experience to know in this life because i have been brainwashed. >> you hear a tremble in his voice. >> he gets very emotional. he actually has to take a breath there, you see, to collect himself. but, you know, when you watch that movie he said it was not a

comedy for him. most of us thought it was a great film and really funny but there's such a touching message in the movie and what he was saying was so touching in the sense that somebody like tootsie would have been overlooked by people and you would have passed her on the street and not even taken a second glance and he felt that he misjudged and didn't give people the time of day and was brainwashed as he said. >> that's absolutely true. it's human nature. >> we're guilty of it. >> somebody that looks a certain way grabs your attention. that's just a reality of human nature but unfortunately i think -- as you get older you see things more important and you are more mature and meet people you may not have met when you were younger that were smart or funny or interesting or have a cool job or life story. >> you hear and get so much more

of the history of a person as you age. you just kind of look past the sup sup superficial and get into the heart and soul of that person. >> very cool moment there. >> have you heard of phomo. >> i heard about it 42 minutes ago. >> me too. we don't suffer from fomo which is a fear of missing out but a lot of people do. people are concerned that others appear to be having more fun and rewarding experiences than them. i guess all of this comes from our reliance on social media. obviously people posting all of their great vacations and things that they're doing on facebook triggers the facebook envy we also talked about. >> right or tweeting from an event where a lot of people are and you're not. >> missing out. what's going on right now i'm missing out on? >> it's a study -- one of these studies we talk about. 56% of are afraid of missing out on life events and important status updates. 27% of the people in the survey said they go to social media when they first wake up to make sure they haven't missed anything overnight. >> these are people are all

ages. it's not just the under 20 set we're talking about here. >> right. absolutely. >> at some point in our lives we have all experienced a little bit of this. you're not invited to that party and everybody else is going, right? >> i used to have a thing in college where i could not start writing a paper until everyone else in the house was in bed because i wouldn't be sitting there on the computer knowing great things were happening outside. so i started about 2:00 in the morning. 7:30 run in, hand them. it was a c effort. >> look where you are today. >> i graduated. i have the diploma. we don't need to talk about the numbers. i was just catching up to yolo and now fomo. >> i'm missing out on the lying. >> there is a australian man that's going to revolutionary the english language. he created a symbol for the word

the. >> that saves you so much time. >> the idea here that it would be like for and and it would appear on a keyboard and you could hit it instead of writing the word the. >> write. two extra characters on twitter it would take up but then imagine when you're tweeting or -- you have to then go to the symbol function and that takes -- he's saying it's going to make people more efficient, i think if anything it's the opposite. you to double click to get the symbol signs. >> he's investing 75,000 dollars of his own money. he now has this app that you can download to your keyboard that will put the symbol on. >> let's practice and see how long it takes us. >> you wouldn't be writing it hopefully. >> i think you have the time to knockout the e at the end maybe. >> i think that's ridiculous. just take the extra time. >> i'm going to sound old again but when you get the e-mails or the texts with just the r or the

u, i always say to myself was it hard to write the y and the o before the u? >> on twitter it does save you. you only have 140 characters to express you're. >> that's true. >> so ru saves you a lot. >> i'm not sure the th is going to catch fire but we'll let it play out. >> it's $75,000 investment. we'll see where it goes. >> must have money to burn. >> apparently you're a big hit with mel b. >> i love her. >> she was here filling in for me and she had a lot of great things to say about you on access live. take a listen. >> you were just on the "today" show with our friend willie g. who we love. >> i love him. he's a sweetheart and he has a dirty sick kind of humor. >> he does which he can't do at 9:00 a.m. >> i love that man. he was whispering in my ear a few things. >> dirty, sick humor. whispering in her ear. what am i missing? >> these are false accusations.

yourself busy. >> as much as you focus on your kids you also have to focus on your relationship. not only physical intimacy putting that sex and fizzle back but emotional intimacy. one of the easiest ways to connect is be nice to each other. we forget about that because we're so focused on everything else but show affection and kindness. >> and the key with the kids around, lock on the bedroom door. get a padlock if you have to. whatever it takes. >> you know what else, wear them down during the day. get them to bed early. it's long summer nights. be selfish with those. >> as parents we feel guilty. moms we're not spending enough time with the kids but the fact is we need to focus on our relationship. lock that door. do whatever you have to do to get the one-on-one time with the significant other. >> it's also important to wear the kids out but even engage in family activities all together. that creates a little spark. >> i sometimes will do a fun family activity like bowling or

minigolf but bring a babysitter. we'll split off and regroup with the kids. you have to get creative with your time. >> i never thought of bowling as a turn on. >> if you have a lock on the bedroom door. >> it reminds you why you are together and when you're with the same person you forget what brought you together in the first place. talking about how you met and why you love each other is important. >> we have great e-mails. our first letter comes from tiffany. my husband and i have been together for 13 years. we have two beautiful little girls. i love my husband so much but we both work two yjobs. i'm 31 years old and feel like i'm in my 70s. what can i do to spice up my love life before it's too late. >> go out with other families. take a three day weekend. you can rotate who is going to watch the kids. again it's like get the kids out in a group, in a pack. get yourself sometimes with other adults that you trust

around your kids and be able to break off as a twosome. >> and the fact that she still loves her husband is so important because passion is the key to desire. tell him i love you. we need to spend time together. let's plan it. as ian said, new lingerie, whatever, just to get the spark going. >> toys. >> exactly. just to get the spark going. >> make the effort. >> okay. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> coming up next, can you tell the difference between expensive store bought furniture and perhaps some do it yourself items? we'll put ourselves to the test here. we'll have you all play along right after these messages. my name is lee kaufman. married to morty kaufman.

basic lamp kit at the hardware store, it's basically this piece that holds the light and the wire in place. so we used the lamp kit to turn this very simple vase into a lamp and then made it sparkle. >> all my years of hgtv watching paid off. >> do you save that much money because i look at that and say i'm going to buy the lamp. >> lamps are expensive. this was maybe a $25 project. >> okay. >> what else. >> we have this painting, the abstract. this is like channelling your inner five-year-old. >> we got that? >> yes. >> this anyone can do. you always think to yourself couldn't i do that? you can. we started with this gold leave and using a dark to light palate we went to down. you make sure you step back and see what's happening with the big picture but it was really easy. it took a couple of hours. we did it while watching the "today" show. >> how about that? is that diy. >> it's not. no that's not.
