they talk the most [ bleep ] about the people who cared the most. i'm sorry, daytime television. i'm sorry for the realness. >> some of the things he said, i thought, were great points. >> it's like a motivational speech. >> why are we fighting with each other? >> we are one race. i like some of the stuff he said. but eight minutes. we just saw 30 seconds of it. >> picture if you listened to eight minutes. ellen, she was doing the uh-huh, uh-huh, cut aways. the funny thing is, sometimes you have great advice, but it's how you deliver it that makes people take it or not take it. sometimes if it's too long -- >> or i couldn't really get it, but if you're comparing yourself to picasso and walt disney, where maybe he was, or trying to bring it out of people -- >> i don't know. >> when he said my point is, i was like -- >> what is the point? >> anyway, but okay. so embarrassing things kids

say. we always talk about how kids blurt weird things out. like at the grocery store. >> everywhere. >> inappropriate. mommy -- >> what's the worst? >> i can't remember. i'm not saying that. we'll go ahead. what's yours? >> well, mila has started saying a word that rimes with bagina. >> kind of sounds like that word exactly. >> okay. >> but with a "v." >> yeah. >> henry and i are like, where? she'll say it around the house. >> do you crack up? >> yeah, and we turn red. she's said other embarrassing things like, "shake my booty," when she walks through the school. told a little boy to shake his booty. i was like, i didn't teach her that. mila, shake your booty. >> embarrassing kid moments. here's some of the stories we got. my daughter was late for day care when we finally got there.

she announced, mommy had diarrhea. >> another one, her 2-year-old went through a phase of calling everyone mommy or daddy. when a repairman came to see the house, screamed, daddy is here! >> finally, a dad said when his daughter was little, he was a single father. after a few years he got married. soon after, his daughter walked up to the new wife and told her, you can go home now. it was over. >> so sad. kids, we promise you don't want to miss this performance. >> wait until you see who is behind this powerful voice, right after this. brandon thinks heaven in a jar. that's because our ingredients come from places like... pleasantville, iowa! and farmers committed to responsibly sourced oils... blended with ingredients like cage-free eggs. we're talkin' real ingredients. for three generations. mm. heaven.

fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you brought your own ketchup? yah! i promised my mom i'd stay off high fructose corn syrup. moms know best french's has no high fructose corn syrup. tastes great! french's... only real ingredients.
