2:08 am

2:09 am
too. he's cute on the eyes. great actor. a lot of people because of "magic mike" thought of channing tatum. >> no, no. matt boemer first. he's adorable. absolutely hot. and channing tatum, he's the sweetest guy. he was here last week for "magic mike." he's from alabama. southern boys, they have been raised with manners. i didn't mind being called ma'am. coming out of him it was cute. >> have you ever had a funyun? seriously, get involved. funyuns are so good. >> christian bale, a lot of you also thought. which is kind of surprising to me because he's not anywhere near 27. >> bite into it. tell me how bad your breath is right now. >> oh, my gosh! >> they are awesome. you have to sit alone and tear through a bag of these. funyuns. they remind me of college. >> bunions. they fit right on it. it's unbelievable. boy, do i need a pedicure. >> so here's the question. if your friend's husband hit on
2:10 am
you, what would you do? what would you do? would you tell your friend? would you not tell? how would you address it? well, frisky.com -- there's a dot-com for everything -- they talked about ways to handle the situation. >> first of all, don't blame yourself. you can't help it that you're gorgeous and hot. >> and your cleavage is out. >> and your friend isn't, apparently. p. >> that's what they say, no one is perfect, you've got to remember that. also they say, this is i guess one of the solutions. should you never be alone with your friend's spouse? i would probably choose -- >> after that? no. >> would you tell your friend or not? >> it did happen to me one time. >> it did? >> yeah. it's just such a creepy feeling. it just really, really is. they weren't close friends, but it was a friend's husband. >> so what did you do? >> i just acted like i didn't hear him and moved to the other room. >> the question is -- they also say, too, i would stay away from the person and i would -- but i don't think i would say anything. because --
2:11 am
>> the guys have some things about that. >> what do you have to say? >> i just want to say, if my friend's husband hit on me, i would tell him i am very flattered, but it's not that kind of party. >> yes. >> well, the thing is, it's a slippery slope because if you say something to her, she may take his side and now you're, you know -- >> you're a femme fatale, you brought it on. >> or maybe you misread it. >> but you need to stay away from him. as a guy, come on, there's a lot of women in the world. don't do it. >> do not tell her that her husband hit on you. you will be the enemy from that point on. >> right. >> she'll think you brought it on. what did you do? or you misread it. he didn't hit on you. what were you thinking? >> exactly. it's a no-win. >> his response will be, honey, she's a whore. >> i personally love it when -- i'm okay with that. >> i did nothing. >> i'm a divorced guy. >> what does the divorced bachelor think? >> well, thank you so much for
2:12 am
that wonderful introduction, kathie. i say -- i say run. that's all you got to do. run away and then lie about it. >> run away and lie. >> and send the wives and the mothers to me. >> that's why my relationships work so well. >> that was fascinating. not. >> they're all still talking. are you all still talking? >> that's my favorite line of all time. all right. so if you guys are wondering where the manliest city in the united states is -- >> it isn't here. sorry, guys. it ain't new york. >> the way they narrowed it down is the places with most gyms and steakhouses and home depots and stuff like that. >> that is so sexist. >> they also found the ones with the least number of manicure and pedicure places and hair salons. here are the top five manliest cities in the united states. >> number five is birmingham, alabama. number four is nashville, tennessee. >> oh, yeah, i love me some
2:13 am
nashville. number three is memphis, which is a lot like nashville. number two is columbia, south carolina. >> are you noticing a southern trend? >> yes. >> and number one, the manliest city in the country is oklahoma city, oklahoma. wow. okay. there you go. anything? >> my wife is from there. >> thank you for that. >> did you just call your wife manly? >> no! >> you just called your wife manly. >> i did not. i said my wife is from there. i was about to say, she knows manly men. that's why she chose me. >> why did she leave the manliest city in america to come to new jersey and marry you? >> because she got the manliest man but in the most cultured city. >> you cleaned that up good. >> saved it. >> that was nice. >> all right. >> this next story is going to upset a lot of people, we think. in germany, this mayor decided that women are not good parkers and they can't park their cars well. so this mayor decided that the
2:14 am
trickiest spots he was giving just to men. there's actually a symbol, a male symbol. >> male-only parking lots. >> look at him smiling and pointing. >> i say taze him and then vote him out. >> he says it's too complicated for women to learn to park in those spots. just for men. >> too many angles and too close to the cement pillars and garages. >> they say the spaces for women are wider, well lit and closer to the exit. >> stop laughing. what is wrong with them? >> we're just so pathetic. >> what is wrong with that? >> you guys think that's funny? >> we did research on the topic. >> you know, the whole women can't drive thing comes from -- you know where that came from? >> where? >> science. >> all right. i just want you to make sure when y'all get mad, make sure you get the right black guy. that one. >> it's all scientific.
2:15 am
a lot of research. >> and what does the science say, professor? >> it says that i am a dummy. because i can't believe i just said that. >> we can't believe it either. >> this guy has to go home tonight. >> they have these cars now that will do it for you. >> you just push a button and it parallel parks for you. >> have you ever had, not that i have -- i see people have such a hard time that you start to panic. you sweat like crazy. and you pretend like something is wrong with the car. you just get out of there as fast as -- >> i do have trouble parallel parking. i will admit. i'm not great at it. what? i'm not very good at it. i'm not. can you parallel park well? >> i learned -- the problem is people don't pull up to the spot. >> up close enough. >> there's a spot. you got to pull up on your own car. >> i don't like to get that close to the other car. i'm afraid my rear view is going to hit it. >> my gosh, hoda, if you can't do that how can you host a magnificent television show like this every day?
2:16 am
>> i can't get my chair down. try to get your chair down. >> the trouble is we have rear ends. that's why we women cannot get out of the chairs. are you sunk in there? >> i couldn't breathe. i was getting swallowed. okay, so your good buddy cheyenne -- >> oh, i love cheyenne jackson. >> tell us what he's doing. >> he let us know that he started writing songs, and so you know him from tv's "30 rock" and a terrific star of broadway. today he's releasing a brand-new single which he wrote. i love this song, it's titled "before you," sounds a little michael will buble-ish and jason mraz. the entire video is available today. i just want you to see a little bit of his video. ♪ there has to be a way for me to find a sunny day ♪ ♪ and now you make me want to sing ♪ ♪ i was lost in my head trying to forget ♪

2:20 am
war that's been going on since the beginning of time. so why are men and women so different? >> and will we ever understand each other? helen fisher is terrific. she's a biological anthropologist and the author of "why him? why her?" >> so nice to have you here. maybe you can make sense out of all this for us. is there really a definitive answer? >> sure. there's all kinds of answers. first of all, i think we should begin to bust some of the myths we know about men. you know, we've spent 50 years busting myths about women. i think we need to bust myths about men. one of them is that i think men are more romantic than women are. they fall in love faster than women do. because they're so visual. >> you say they're visual. is that falling in love? or is it falling in lust? >> it's falling in love. because we put them in a brain scanner and study the brain circuits, and it is falling in love. >> really? how long does that last? >> overnight. >> men are 2 1/2 more times likely to kill themselves when a
2:21 am
relationship is over. not only when they fall in love, they also want to do more kissing in public. it's called mate guarding. they want to show everybody this is theirs. they want to move in sooner. >> do they? >> they want to introduce the person to their relatives, and they have more intimate conversations with their wives and lovers than they do with their -- >> women have more intimate conversations with their girlfriends. we don't share as much. >> that's surprising stuff. >> let's look at some photos. this depicts what you're talking about. first pictures of two women talks face to face. i guess this is how women discuss. they look at each other in the eye. they're close. >> we do it face-to-face. we anchor and engage. and we talk. and it comes from millions of years of holding a baby in front of your face, cajoling it, reprimanding it, educating with words. >> let's look at two men. this is how two men discuss things. okay. maybe not. there they are. >> as soon as the guy on the left looks up, the guy on the
2:22 am
right will look away. >> i think it comes from millions of years from sitting in the bush of africa on the grass trying to hit the buffalo in the head with a rock. can't be talking to your neighbor while you do it. >> look at the third picture. >> it's funny when you're talking to a man sometimes when they're walking they reveal more because they're not looking at you. >> ah! >> if you want a really good conversation with a man, do it while he's driving a car. he can't go. you're side by side. you're not looking at him. >> i love it. our third picture is a man and a woman. let's check this one out. >> that's the point. >> she's all wrapped up in him, and he's totally not. >> wouldn't you say she's more romantic? >> no, no, no. she's trying to reach him, and he's feeling invaded because he's trying to reach her. he's talking as if she's sitting next to him. they're looking forward together, and that's the way men can talk to you. >> tell us about us because we took a quiz that was going to tell us about our personalities. and we don't know the answers at all. >> it's a questionnaire that i did. 10 million people have taken it
2:23 am
in 40 countries. i'm measuring the traits linked with four brain systems. so i said, maybe kathie lee and hoda will take them. >> what did you learn about us? >> you're very high estrogen and very low testosterone. >> not anymore. it's because i'm post menopausal. >> but the brain is built in the womb. it's building more connections between the front and the back, between the two sides, giving you -- giving you both your verbal skills. >> but it asks about empathy, about mechanical skills and directions. >> you have a tremendous amount of empathy or you wouldn't be able to do your job. and that's estrogen related. i'm not surprised you can't park your car. both of you were very low on the testosterone scale. >> then why do i have so much facial hair? >> you're a girl, face it. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for coming to see utz. we're going to find out if

2:50 am
them. for example -- i know. why do we have to make it easier for them? but we do. >> let's do it. >> here is a perfect example. keep baskets in a place where he's typically dropping his towels, let's see if he can just get them in there. >> what looks nicer in your home than baskets everywhere? >> oh, look, andre can play a game. >> this is for the guy that's still a kid at heart. if you want to make it a little easier. >> i'll get it, andre. no problem. >> let's see if she can get it in. >> all right! >> you turn it into a game. to throw the dirty socks. >> that may not be the most appealing thing. >> not unless you love basketball things hanging in your home. >> well, this would be plan "b." take a hutch. this one i got from wayfair.com. it was under $200. you can get it at a thrift shop. a hand-me-down. cut a hole right out of the top, and let that become your hamper. >> that i like. that's smart. so now you don't really have anything showing. it looks like a bookshelf. and the clothes are tucked away.

would you do that? >> definitely. he really like that one. >> bob was leaving coffee all over the place. he also has a thing with water bottles. if we want to fix up that issue, what's a way to do that? >> what's the thing with all the coffees? >> it's easier to just bring another one down. >> than to bring one up. >> right. >> it's easier when you got to bring them all up at one time. make one trip. >> but you never do, andre. >> i do once in a while. >> so what about the water, sweetie? >> i have a method to the madness. instead of too many water bottles, get a carafe. fill it up with water but keep it on a tray. this is one of those trays you can use in your bathroom. and your glass. that way, when all is said and done, you load up the tray and take everything together, right? >> all right. >> great idea. but i wouldn't bank on it. >> yeah. you don't think it's going to happen. >> i like the idea. >> you like the idea? >> yeah, i do. much better. >> this is going to make it easier. >> same with the coffee cup over there? >> same with the coffee cup. exactly. >> that's not working. >> not at all. >> we only have like a minute
