el a -- markel and kate. you know once you start introducing your girl to the sister-in-law, something might be happening. >> that's a big introduction. >> yeah, that's going to be in our latest buzz coming up. >> susan lucci was famously nominated 19 times before winning her first emmy. she's here to share a valuable lesson with all of us about handihand i all of us. >> there's a difference between -- >> i think losing teaches you how to be a winner. >> she didn't get it 18 -- >> 19. >> on the 19th she got it. >> 19th he she got it. it's almost like bonnie rate one time won a grammy, and she said it took me 25 years to become an overnight sensation. it became the moment when you want it so bad. >> sometimes that's great, right? we'll find out. >> good. also, if it you guys want to work out,

hoda -- >> we're going to do this workout. i have a trainer who is helping me, and she's going to help you on-line too. her name is sue. that's her. >> are y'all singing? ♪ just right >> you want your tush to be toned. squeeze. >> that's sue. that's so sad. i wore long sleeve shirt to cover up that part. this is her name sue, and we're going to talk with sue, and she's going to tell us all how we can try to get in better shape. >> things you can do at home. i love that. >> simple things. >> the simpler, the better. >> just wait until you see the latest inductees into the joy fit club. wait until you see what they look like now. major transformations. >> i like that. can we talk about pink for just one second? >> yes. >> pink, as you guys know, had a new baby. i would love to hear your take on this. she didn't want her first child to feel left out, jealous, upset, so she decided

party for her 5-year-old daughter, willow. >> okay. >> she wanted her to celebrate being a big sister. not to feel like, oh, wait, there's somebody coming into my space or taking my place, and she captioned it congrats big sis. party. they had a chocolate cake that said congrats on it. >> it's so cute. that's the new baby james that she's holding sf. >> you've got two kids. what did you -- when you were trying to figure out how to make it all right, what did you do? >> i had a friend that said take a picture of mila to poppy's bassinet. you know when they're born in the hospital, they have that plastic thing where the baby hangs. >> where the baby hangs. >> i put a picture of mila in there, and really just so that mila didn't feel like, wait a minute, you know, that's my mommy and daddy, and who is this little alien? you know? she felt like she was part of it. the other thing we did is when she came to the hospital, poppy was in the nursery, and we walked mdo

we sort of helped her because we didn't want to get a stranger's baby. she said that's my baby cississ and she helped push her down the hall. >> i think we're kind of evolving. you feel like in generations past, if you are of a certain age and you think about what did my parents do? >> yes. >> i don't know. >> do you think they did something? probably not. >> they just said there's your sibling. let's all go. i think that there are certain things you probably learn by someone not watching out for all your feelings all the time. you know what i mean? >> exactly. i remember when i get into arguments with my sister or my parents just crying into the air conditioner vent. >> why? >> because i wanted them to come in and say something. i would cry -- i would be like into the vebnt. >> so they could hear you throughout the hous >> i'm n

but the point is they never came in. they jwere, like, you need to work this situation out on your own. >> you know what, there is something to be said for that. there is something to be said for discipline. i remember we were not really allowed to get angry because, you know, there wasn't yelling or no slamming of doors. i remember after i had gotten into an argument if had my parents' room, i would stomp up the stairs. my dad would be,ic loo, come back down here. tiptoe back up, and you wanted to slam the door, and you just screamed into the pillow just like -- just to get it out somehow. >> yes. >> there were -- it was like a different time. i think we're more worried or concerned with -- >> feelings. >> how is she adjusting? is she okay? >> ours were sort of small little gestures, but i will say poppy and mila do love each other. i don't know if that's from birth, but i definitely don't -- i'm sure -- probably pink felt this way. she didn't want to start off with a riy.

think this is a nicer way to make it easier, why wouldn't you make it easier? >> although sometimes the lessons are tough. >> yes. >> right? >> by the way, can i say one more time and i'm going to repeat it, if you have not read the letter that jenna and her sister barbara wrote to malia and sasha, i would encourage you to read it? there are certain pieces, and it takes four minutes to read it. >> it's short. >> it's really short. it's beautiful. and it will put you in a great, great mood. i don't know what kind of feedback you guys have gotten, but -- >> good feedback. you know what else i kept thinking after writing it is how fast eight years go by. when i was watching the piece with the pictures, i mean, that's just the most simple seeing the pictures, thinking about the fact that eight years ago i was a teacher, and i drove up and saw those darling little girls who reminded me in so many ways of my students. >> so crazy. >> showed them around. then even thinking farther back, like, when we were 7-year-olds and first sliding down that bannister, that's what i kind of got choked up. tt

this is just so sweet. >> it's a moment. there are certain moments that probably happened in the white house, and i think we do have a story that we're talking about this morning about just a famous photographer who took pictures. >> photographers i think from all -- from a long time getting ready for the inauguration this week, time.com has 12 former white house frofrz to reflect on some of the president that is they photographed. i think we hear -- here are some pictures, i guess. >> this is your family back in 1987 in kennebunkport. >> oh -- >> oh, wait. let me take a look. >> this was an official photo? who are all these people? >> i'm the little one next to my grandma in trouble probably. >> with the blonde. >> the blonde. then my sister is next to me, barbara. >> who is walking here in the front? >> that's my cousin marshall. the blue i think is pierce. then my cousin sam is in the little bee suit.

this was what -- something we would do in maine. just sit with our grandparents while they drink coffee. >> in bed? >> they read the paper. >> they would just hang around until they kicked us out. >> these are some of the favorite photographs. >> photographer david valdez says president bush, who is also my grandfather, once told him that everything he had accomplished in life, the most important thing to him was his family, his faith, and -- that's the only picture that we have of all the photographs? >> you can go on time.com and see them all. >> if you watched the green bay packers game -- >> did you watch last night? >> every second. >> by the way, can i just -- they may have a picture of me watching. oh, well, we can go to the game too. that was an mazing catch, but i was watching this game with -- >> a bunch of fun crazy people. >> i'm supposed to be doing start today. >> wait. look at this catch, th.

someone did a michael jackson on his tiptoes like it's a move and -- >> i'm a cowboys fan, so i was quite disappointed with that catch, but it was good. i don't know if they have a picture of me just eating a ton of food. wow. that's so flattering. that's an empty -- >> margarita. >> there is a chip and margarita in my hand. there is an empty nacho canister in another, and i was teaching mila how to dip queso. she said what's a nacho, and everybody was, like, wait, your child just asked what a nacho was. i was, like, mila, we need to talk. i need to introduce you to the queso. it's a cheese dip that mom loves to drink and spoon. i taught her how to dip. then i heard her go, poppy, come here. >> she showed poppy. >> this is the queso, and she was dipping it. at one point she did feed a

>> everybody okay? >> we washed the mouth out with a little water, and she was fine. i think it's important to teach your kids early about snack food. >> yes, it is. it is. i hope joy doesn't watch our show. >> that caption was start tomorrow, by the way. >> that's good. okay. so aaron rodgers, as you guys know, did such an incredible job last night for the packers. this final score was 34-31, which means the packers -- >> i so wanted it to go into overtime. i love overtime so much. >> it was right there. >> i know. >> again, some fans are also talking about aaron rodgers' personal life. i don't know if you guys remember this, but last year his brother jordan was on "the bachlorette" and he radio he veeld that the rodgers family was in a rift with the nfl star. there wasn't a lot of conversation going on over the years, et cetera. you know, that was one of those things he went, oh, the guy is on "the bachelor." who cares? who knows if it's true? the young man's father is now

speaking out, aaron and ned's father is speaking out to the "new york times" about the family's relationship with aaron. he described the relationship as complicated, and he said -- the quote was fame can change things. he also confirmed that he and his wife do not attend the green bay packer games, and regarding his famous sons, he says one in the news is enough for us. that's kind of heart breaking. >> it does break my heart. >> aaron rodgers, you know, by all accounts that i know, seems like a really great guy, and you watch how good he is at what he does, and there's nothing better than doing something great and being able to share it with everyone you love. >> and have your parents be there to enjoy it in the pride of your talent. i think also his dad was his football coach growing up, i think. i think they all played football, these boys. >> anyway, you also wonder, too, when the dad was doing the interview with the "new york times", sometimes i would just know how my mom would be. you just are talking, and you are not really laying it all out. you are saying, oh, it's complicated, w

cetera, et cetera. aaron rodgers was asked about this comment, and he says he does not want to speak about his family's drama in public. he responded this way. i just don't think it's appropriate talking about family stuff publicly. that is that. >> coming up, you're going to love these. stick around for our favorite things at the end of the show. they are worth it. >> okay. it's our big 4-0 for joe, and orlando bloom this weekend. >> what? we're going to have celebrations coming up on celebrity buzz coming up. andrew wanted nothing to do with his volcano demonstration. tears, tantrums and stalling. then his boss informed him, there was a sweet bonus attached if he saw the project through. and with that extra bit of motivation, the science project is complete, and andrew is back in good standing. management 101. that's just good business mom. return to real food. dairy products made with california milk. from our family farms to your table.

in terms of, you know, not winning or -- people would lost. well, i never felt like a loser. i never felt like a loser. first of all, says it wasn't mine to lose. i had never won. most importantly, i felt like a winner because i had this amazing part to play, and i was so excited every day to go and play this part, great material. >> i want to hear your take. you just lived in the moment. it wasn't about what you were going to get from it. you loved your job, and that was enough for you. >> that was it. i loved playing this part. >> sam, what did you learn from susan about winning and losing? >> i think what struck me about susan is the fact, like she said, she was grateful for the opportunity. she wasn't railing against the fact that she didn't win, she didn't blame. she embraced the opportunities that were presented to her, and that's a big part of losing is how you perceive it, and she decided not to make it this thing that defined her. >> there were two things that touched me about your story. one is that young kids were sending you their trophies because -- so you must have felt like a winner.

if you have uchd it so many but you have my ballet trophy. >> it was amazing. these two little girls from pennsylvania who sent me -- little sisters sent me their ballet trophies, and i wrote to their mother, and i said i can't keep them. why don't you come here to the studio with the little girls, and we met, and it was lovely. randy sent me his oscar. >> even more than that is the reason that you guys were joined together was because of your son. you taught your son lessons without even realizing you were doing that, right? >> uh-huh. yes. and during the course of the interview, and thank you so much. oh, there is andre. >> cute. >> yeah. >> what did you ask her son? >> i asked basically how her losses and her approach to losing impacted him and, you know, he gave i thought a profound answer about how he respected that she got to go to work every day, she didn't -- she didn't let it define her. she had her brief moment of crying, and then she moved on

and got to work. i think that's >> what -- when you heard that from your son -- >> oh, i didn't know that andreas had that observation or feeling. if your children think anything you did is good, that's a wonderful thing, and let alone to hear it right from him. you know? i have to say my children -- i would go home and an andreas and liza would have made a cake or balloons and spectacular things that i have in my life because i didn't win the emmy. >> thank you so much. >> it's so full of so many different stories. >> what advice for kids to teach them about losing? what do you tell kids? >> the biggest thing is embrace the opportunities that come from losing. learn the lessons that you have been dealt from losing, and grow from it. >> do what you love. >> do what you love where. >> that's one of the best pieces of advice in all. >> the book is called win at losing.
