[laughter] all right. today is monday, august 12, 2013. kelly's on vacation and filling in for kelly is a beautiful -- the beautiful rebecca romijn. [cheers and applause] rebecca: thank you. what an honor. wow, this feels good. michael: doesn't it feel good out here? people waked up. people cheering. rebecca: so great. michael: it's nothing like being at home with your kids. [laughter] how are you, by the way? rebecca: i'm great, thank you. just flew in yesterday from los angeles. michael: and your arms are

tired. [laughter] rebecca: it's a long way. michael: so for you, it's like 6:00 in the honoring. rebecca: yeah. michael: ooh. are you a morning person? rebecca: i am, yes. i am a morning person. i am kind of ok with it. i woke up a couple of hours ago like just getting ready for the day. yeah, i'm good. i'm good. michael: well, you have kids. rebecca: well, yeah. the kids get you up early. we both have twins. we both have twin daughters. michael: yeah. and now, how are the twins, by the way? rebecca: my girls are great. my husband, jerry, is back at work on his new show called "we are men" for cbs but he is now shooting. so i'm now back in charge of my kids. when i was shooting my show, he was in charge and now, i'm -- michael: when you're shooting "king & maxwell," he's playing daddy. and he's like mr. mom. rebecca: yeah. i was in vancouver shooting that series. and we tag team with work so now

i'm back. michael: how are your parenting styles? are they the same or a little different? rebecca: they're a little different. we're pretty good about not micromanaging each other. if he's running the show, i don't step on his toes and vice versa. but we don't agree on each other's styles lately. but we thinks pizza for every meal is feel meal. and if i stepping on every happy meal toys, if that's any indication by the whole time i'm gone, they don't get ice cream for dinner. michael: jerry, just say i just bought the toys, honey. the kids, we have twins, as you know and your girls are 4. mine with 8. but they're so different. rebecca: yes. michael: they're so different. now is there one who's more like

you and there's one more like jerry? rebecca: yes and no. it's like a weird experiment in sociology where you have two people who were born at exactly the same time with identical up brinksings, still sleep in the same bedroom but they've been different since they were born. people are born how they were born. that's what's amazing about twins. you get to see that. one is a little more like jerry. dolly really attacks after me. our baby pictures are identical. they're both swimmers. jerry and i are both swimmer. we have not taken a beach vacation with them because they were not swimming. and last year, we had swim lessons and they didn't get anything out of it. they were still attached to their floaties and we said well,

we still can't on a beach vacation. so we found this woman who guaranteed that she could teach them how to swim in two weeks. >> and what if she doesn't do it? what do you get back? she guarantees it. rebecca: she said the parents are not supposed to come to the pool. i teach them survival. what? you teach -- push them in the pool? michael: here you go kids! >> by the end of the first day, they were diving in the pool. they're so confident in the water. and look. we just came back from our first family beach vacation finally. we did it. [applause] michael: was your husband like wearing some shorty -- rebecca: i married a guy who

wears a speedo. jerry is a speedo-wearing guy. michael: what? rebecca: i know. [applause] in his show, he wears a speedo but also a home, he's an avid swimmer and he's a guy who wears a speedo. michael: you said he wear it at home. [laughter] rebecca: well, he's aware that it might make other people uncomfortable so he's willing to put on a pair of baggy shorts and we have company over. michael: i would hope so if you have a barbecue and jerry's over there bar cuing with some -- barbecuing with some speedos i'm good. i think i'm going to get me a happy meal with a toy after this. [laughter] rebecca: he's a guy with a peedo. you don't do it, michael? michael: no, i don't want to embarrass all the guys out there. [laughter] that's a joke.

too much can come out. and i'm not an avid swimmer like that either. i'm a survivor. [laughter] you throw me in the pool, it's like let me get to the edge. [laughter] i'm just surviving. but your kids now, 4 years old. mine are 8. they have ipads. and they love their ipads. so do your kids play on the ipads? rebecca: yes, we got them ipads. this was jerry's idea. i said just get them a toddler tablet. they're only 4. and he said i'm telling you, this is going to make them so much more sophisticated in the long run and we got them ipads. you know, it's allowed us to take them to dinner out with us and actually have a conversation. we can talk to each other because our girls are busy with -- by the way, the first day they had their ipads, they were able to write their own names at the end of the day. they weren't even 4 yet. michael: wow.

they're advanced. but do you have a pet? you have a dog? rebecca: we have three dogs. michael: do your dogs use the ipad? rebecca: no. michael: in the "wall street journal," there's an article. a trainer is providing private ipad lessons to your dogs. yeah. to the dog. she's had 25 clients who signed up and she's going to teach fido how to work an ipad and how to use their nose to turn pages and to activate the apps and all that stuff and they said it teaches valuable motor skills and even promote social behavior by gauging -- engaging loaner animals. rebecca: i'm just trying to get my dog stop chewing from its butt. [laughter] michael: that's what amazes me. and if you do put your dog -- rebecca: what does a dog get out of it? michael: it teaches your dog to be social and maybe when you're not at home you dog can play games. rebecca: this is crazy. michael: it used to be turning

on tv and make some noise so he knows somebody's home. now he's like i opened up your ipad and let's go ahead and play some games on it. what if you come home and your dog found out the password to your itunes and ordering all kinds of apps on it? rebecca: yeah. [laughter] yeah, i see all sorts of problems. michael: careful. you have to be careful. rebecca: speaking of apps, there's an app that's about to be launched that lets you take a photo of what's left of your meal, post it and wait for someone nearby to claim the food. michael: no! rebecca: to trade their leftovers for yours. michael: i honestly almost lost my food right here on this table. that's disgusting. [laughter] rebecca: well, if there's leftover food, i can see -- it's all about wastefulness. it's like your kids. michael: i'm picturing leftovers in a different way.

i'm looking at a plate and somebody's like did all that eating and there's like sloppy. rebecca: i guess if you make it pretty for the picture, you can pretty up the leftovers before you take the picture and send it. it's like how much time passes? that cheese is looking kind of sweaty. can you turn it down, i wonder? once it shows up, you don't like the way it looks? michael: i think you can take it and repost it. you can regift some leftover food. how about that? [laughter] that is nasty. rebecca: it's weird, right? michael: it's one thing if i can see it sitting in the pot like they haven't touched it. but i picture a messy plate going you want some of this? no, i do not. that's nasty. when you got married, was it a traditional wedding? did you throw a bouquet? rebecca: yeah. michael: who caught it? rebecca: a friend of mine. michael: did she get married? rebecca: you know, i don't remember. [laughter] michael: oh, what a great friend you knew at your wedding. [laughter] how close was she?

rebecca: to be honest, i don't even remember who caught it. michael: but, you know, now it's kind of taboo. it's becoming taboo to toss your bouquet. rebecca: why? michael: because women don't want to scramble for it because if you're in your thirst, and you're fighting and you're looking desperate. rebecca: it's desperate. i agree. michael: you think it looks desperate? rebecca: yeah. or why not everybody at this point? not everybody goes scrambling for that bouquet. male or female. >> no. because some of these guys would be too aggressive. get out of my way, lady! [laughter] that's my bouquet! it's a ritual. it's like something that's been done forever. i don't think it's a sign of desperate. i think it's a show of support for the bride. i really do. rebecca: ok. wow. michael: it's a tradition that happens at a wedding. rebecca: you are a traditionalist. michael: i don't feel like doing it but when the line forms, you can't help yourself. [laughter]

rebecca: michael, did you watch "breaking bad" last nighting? it is appointment television. i was so excited. michael: i d.v.d. it. i didn't watch it. i had to take some sleep so i could get in all the beauty of you. rebecca: i got in last night and i was having trouble wit. i missed the first half which was devastating. i love the show. i love the show so much. and i have not -- when i was shooting my show up to vancouver, it was the first time on episodic catch television and "breaking bad" was part of it. they call it binge watching. "binging bad. " so i caught up on all my episodes of "breaking bad" when i was shooting "king & maxwell" and i finished the third season at 10 a.m. and i walked into the the elevator of the building

that i was doing and brian cran on was in the elevator. and i was still in -- i was still in it. michael: he may have been in your building cooking up a little something. but he's an amazing actor. and funny. he was on the show like a week or so ago. and he is so talented and so funny to go from comedy like, you know, what was it? gelman: malcolm in the middle." michael: and then to be this guy from "breaking bad." what a show. he is scary on the show. rebecca: i was on the elevator with him. i was having this weird physical reaction where i was like what is happening with my hand? michael: you look him in the eye? rebecca: no. walter white was standing behind me. it was crazy. [laughter] it was good, though. michael: i have to watch it. it's on my d.v.r. i will be watching it. when you buy stuff, do you take

back a lot of stuff you buy? rebecca: you know, i do a lot of online shopping. michael: really? >> they've made online shopping so easy to return things. yes, i return a lot. because that's the first time you're seeing it when it shows up on your doorsteps. michael: i like to go up there and see it and touch it. i'm too lazy. even if they send me the envelope, i put it in there and i never make it to the post office. or if you got to walk back to the store, i would be like too much work. rebecca: you know what's too much work for me? pushy salespeople. that's too much work. and i like the privacy of trying things on in my own home and deciding there in my own lighting if it's ok. [laughter] michael: i have my own private lighting when i try on my stuff. rebecca: dressing room lighting be unforgiving. michael: there are a lot of people who like to return a lot of stuff. if you do, they're tracking you now. there are certain stores who track people who take back a lot

of merchandise. maybe you're a big shopper but they know how much you return, how much they can county. your dollar that they can key. if you buy something, don't try to keep the tag for three weeks and return it. they know about you. rebecca: wow. michael: be honest. rebecca: they're keeping track. michael: so let everybody out there know, they're keeping track. they're watching you. they are watching. and they did this poll. "u.s.a. today" did this poll. i'm curious to what you have to say. when is it important to appear youthful? rebecca: like in your life? michael: like. at an event. at what event would it seen like it's most important to appear youthful? rebecca: a reunion? michael: bam! rebecca: did i get it? [applause] i got it? michael: yes. well, the fifth thing is first date.

9%. i mean, you want to show up with a first date looking all like you've got some energy. rebecca: right. michael: 16% at a job interview. rebecca: ok. michael: 19% at a wedding. rebecca: right. michael: because you may catch that bouquet. the other person you want to marry may be there. another 19% at a birthday. yeah. like you're really 16. i'm 30. and 19% class reunion. rebecca: yeah. michael: because everybody wants to see their old classmates and then go home and go -- rebecca: have you been to a class reunion? michael: i graduated at the class of two. rebecca: a class of who? michael: a class of two. myself and julie johnson. i graduated second in my class. [laughter] rebecca: good for you. michael: and i'm completely honest with that. i was number two. what were you? i was number two and last in my class. guess not too many people can say that.

[laughter] so i haven't had any class reunions. have you? rebecca: i went to my 20th high school reunion. michael: how was it? rebecca: it was fun. you know what, i feel like i did want to become youthful. it was two years ago. michael: if i was in a bigger classroom, i would like to appear youthful. i go home, did you see dan? oh, my goodness. he's so gray. he's not aging well. must be living hard. rebecca: i thought all the ladies looked particularly great on the whole. michael: that was probably one of these things the second they got the letter, say let me get on a plan. there are going to be some women there. i cannot have becky ann talking bad about me. rebecca: so i have some news about pizza. new york -- trip advisor just came out with the ratings for all the best pizza and new york did not win the first slot. new york is behind san diego. michael: what?
