from nbc news this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb from studio 1a in rockfellar plaza. congratulations, you made it. jenna bush hager is in for kathie lee gifford. listen --

>> this is how we're going to kick off your weekend. do you have a bunch of things lying around the house. old phones, toys and that stuff, we'll show you how you it make money off of that stuff. and so many people have a little trouble getting a good night of sleep. we'll get you the tools. >> and if you're looking for an interesting way to keep in shape, these firefighters have it. >> you got me. >> we can't wait. me may not even work out. >> and all of those activities, i call my mom and i'm like nina in is ballet and -- are all of the activities necessary? >> we have a question for you. you're in traffic, someone cuts

car, no kid, how many times do you totally pound on the steering wheel and yell [ bleep ]? whatever your word of choice, do you feel better when you're done? don't you feel relieved? there is science behind this. they told new york magazine that it feels satisfying to scream out a curse word because it is so taboo and it is a great, quick, easy way. >> but there are some words that, for example, we took mila to a mu seek. she was sitting on the potty. now mommy has to go, and i stand up, my phone has fallen from my back pocket into the toilet and i bleep!

>> yes. >> it's the worst, and that's what gets you in check. you do not want a 2 1/2-year-old going to cool and saying. >> they say if you put your hand in a budget of cold water and you swear a lot, you can keep it in longer. i remember baby sitting a little kid, and he was having a great time and he yelled out the f bomb while i was baby sitting him. i didn't even say it. so all i could think of is when i leave, if his parents come home, he says it, and he thinks it's me. he saw how crazy i went when he said the word -- >> henry and i could not help but laugh, we were like oh no. but the other reason i think it is fun to swear is that it is taboo, but it shocks people.

does it with friends of hers that are a little older and slightly more conservative and she'll just go -- f and everybody -- we look at our mom and we're like mom? it does work for people like us, but for real ladies, for real classy ladies -- mom! >> and kathie lee doesn't curse a lot, but when she does it's different. i don't know if you were watching the oscars, but there was a picture of whoopee goldberg, and they thought it

we realize that a lot of celebs very do look similar. we're going to have a game, two celebrities, aem name who is who. shaleen woodley and jennifer lawrence. next, lake bell and amanda peet. >> amanda peet, yeah, they both have bangs. harington. can we just say for a minute because we know what they look like because we have looked at them. >> we oddle ggled.

interment. >> jordan sparks and america fer ferrera. >> isla fisher and amy amends. >> isla fisher is on the left. something. who do you get mistaken for. >> once i got mistaken for hulk hogan's daughter, brook. they said you look like the daughter of, the daughter of -- here it comes, hulk hogan. >> have you ever heard that before? >> no, but she is really fun, i like her a lot, but what about you? >> i get gayle king all of the time.

friend oprah, and i just say -- >> i wonder if that's more that you're in similar work -- similarities. there are days when we -- >> it's too late. all right. guys. does your husband like to dance? >> yes. >> joel likes to dance, too. >> isn't that a prerequisite? >> i have to have a man that can dance. >> or that wants to dance. as long as they don't dance crazy weird, i think a guy that likes to enjoy himself, yay. i don't even mind if they're not good at it. here are questions couples had. >> couples that imstate each other's dance moves. >> he crosses first. >> repetitive, a lot of this, a lot of this --

school teacher. >> lot of -- >> she dances and she goes there she goes, there she goes, she's just -- >> commentary, that's it. >> i love it. >> how does henry dance, by the way, it's like and go. when i first fell in love him, we danced to little troy. but he had a dance move where he would go like this. i don't know if he just -- it was like he was gambling and doing dice. and i was like -- >> that was on one of the first times you saw him. i was like it's fun. he would say that i'm a mom dancer. what are you all saying about me. >> you are the mom dancer. >> i see you turning red. >> don't ask them.

don't ask them. don't be nasty. >> i want to hide somewhere. i'm horrified. >> that's the last time i've ever danced. >> he is a jock, so he keeps it close, but sometimes he extends the arms a little. it's kind of like flying. right? how about do you ever slow dance -- sometimes we will slow dance to music in the house? don't you love when you put on a little slow country and it's like seventh grade slow dancing. yes yes. >> one of our jams, i do love that. i slow dance in the house is one of the funnest -- >> we to sunday family evening

>> what does mila like to do. >> mostly "frozen." >> oggled. >> it's googling. >> we're going to google it right now, it is oggling. >> no, it is oggle. >> does anyone have a phone with google on it so we can google oggle. all right, is that it? do we have more to talk about or are we going to break? okay. here is something interesting, you guys. >> i mean, the wheels have come off. >> in england, when it's that time of the month, some companies have designated those specific days where women are having ta time of the month they

it as a sick day. they say some women have a really difficult time, it's painful, they're cranky, now they can take the day off. we were talking about this in the makeup room. we thought it seems silly. for one thing, once you work with the same group of people over and over again, you sync. so goodbye, it would be like a ghosttown. i can't come in and neither can you or anyone. >> the one reason i think my husband wishes this existed is that he had the day off. the day when the hormones get going -- oggle. >> come here, i want you to tell bhae it says exactly. this is davie, one of our reachers. he made fun of me earlier. >> oggling. thank you, thank you. go ahead.
