gets me fired up at 6:00 p.m. show. >> we were equally, like 13." >> he's so cool. he's in a play with his wife. little bit. we have to talk about the republican debate last night in houston. so many people have been calling on marco rubio and ted cruz to go after donald trump. they said, is it too late? what are you waiting for? well, marco rubio did not wait any longer. last night, right out of the box, going very strongly at donald trump. here's a sample of some of the exchanges between the three. >> five things. everyone is dumb. he'll make america great again. win, win, win. winning in the polls. >> senator rubio -- >> inherited $200 million. if heherited $200 million, you know where trump would be?

>> i find it amazing donald trump thinks he discovered the issue of illegal immigration. when i ran for the state of texas, i promised to lead the fight against amnesty. in 2013, when i was leading the fight against the gang of 8 amnesty bill, where was donald? he was firing dennis rodman on "celebrity apprentice." >> that's just a tiny sample of what went on for two and a half hours. you heard rubio's line, that donald trump would actually be selling watches in new york, basically saying he'd be a hustler on canal street. now marco rubio has a shattered watch on his page. he scored points with the audience. when rubio went after him for allegedly hiring illegal workers at his resort. >> you're the only person on the stage that has been fined for hiring people to work on your projects illegally. >> i'm the only one on the stage that has hired people.

>> so marco rubio came loaded. research. talked about trump university, talked about why are your clothes made in mexico and china if you say the jobs are going there. >> he did what he had to do, finally. >> he did. the question is, a lot of people are asking, why didn't he do it four months ago? debate. >> at this point, trump is so far ahead of everybody else. the big question is, can they even make up the ground that has been lost all along? >> super tuesday, only a few days away. the evening's viral quote came from carson on replacing antonin scalia. >> i would look at what a person's life has been. what have they done in the past? what judgments have they made? what associations do they have? they will tell you more than an interview will tell you. the fruit salad of their life is what i would look at. >> the fruit salad of their life.

telling a reporter he misquoted a bible verse, matthew 7:16. by their fruit, you will recognize them. a lot of people talking about that. >> heated and fired up debate. people will see how it plays out on super tuesday. >> a lot of people had to turn it off because it was too much back and forth. just fighting and screaming. >> there was a lot of screaming. at one point, it got to the point where you couldn't even understand who was talking or what they were saying. >> a lot of overtalk. >> we'll see if it matters. oscars this weekend. the predictions, our predictions, and we'll see if they pan out. let's go through some of the big nominees. starting with best bikture turepicture nominee. the big short, bridge of spies, brooklyn, "mad max: fury road," the martian, the revenant, room and spotlight. that's it, right? got them all in there? >> yup. >> here are our predictions. willie and natalie choosing spotlight. al went with the revenant, and i did, too.

probably right. >> i think everybody is saying that's going to win. the revenant won the golden globe for best drama. the martian won best cam addyomedy. >> screen actors build went to spotlight. that sort of determines how peers think of the film. >> i don't know. >> they're all good movies. all those nominates are great but they're vastly different. different. >> hard to compare spotlight to the revenant. apples and oranges. >> throw in the martian for good measure. >> the revenant was about leo, one man, speaking up. >> he is also up for the best actor nominee, along with bryan cranston cranston, matt damon, michael fassbender and eddie redmayne. >> most people are saying leo is going to get it. >> he's wanted it so badly and

this time, hopefully he'll finally get it. >> is it weird i voted for him for the revenant and the best actor and i haven't seen the movie yet? i've heard so much about it. >> you have to. >> the buzz is great. >> best actress nominees. cate blanchett, brie larson, jennifer lawrence, charlotte rampling, saoirse ronan. >> like inertia, saoirse. >> i wish you told me that before i tried. everyone said brie. >> i haven't seen "room" either but i've heard good things. >> what have you seen? >> it's great that you're leading this.

>> it's on demand. >> was it nominate snd. >> robbed again. >> i saw some of these. christian bale, tom hardy, mark ruffalo, mark rylance, sylvester stallone. everyone is obviously saying stallone. >> sentimental but incredible performance. >> surprise if he doesn't win. >> also won the golden globe. best supporting actress, jennifer jason leigh, rooney mara, rachel mcadams, alicia -- >> vikander. >> why am i leading this? >> it's fun to listen. >> kate winslet. >> dave carter said this is a category that could be a surprise. willie, you said kate winslet. >> she was great in "steve jobs." al and i went with alicia vikander. "the danish girl," she was almost equally as important as the lead actor, as eddie redmayne.

i went the jennifer jason leigh and i actually saw "the hateful eight." and i interviewed her and i liked her. >> great reasons. >> we all revealed we were honest, confessions, very bad parenting moments, things we're not proud of at all. although we could somehow laugh about it the next day. so you all responded. we loved -- we got inundated with so many of your viewer fails, as well. becky said her fail was when her daughter gets her ears repierced and erupts into tears. she reaches into her purse for tissue, nothing except a maxi pad and said, this is all i have. blow your nose. crystal went tubing with friends one weekend and used her son's backpack as a cooler. the following monday, what happens? she gets a call from a camp

we'll get to that story. my husband and i were intimate and i heard a smack and our 3-year-old daughter's voice said, what's up, dada. she had smacked my husband on his bare bottom to get his attention. that comes from brenda. >> oh, brenda. >> gets you out of the mood, huh? >> wow. >> turn to the dark there. >> we love them. thank you for being honest with us, as well. i hope it felt as good to everybody else as it did to me yesterday. >> good to get it off your chest, share the moments with people. >> and we were embarrassed but happy to spill them on national television. >> yeah. al, what's going on down there? >> wow. >> yeah. >> well, i'm about to pick a supreme court justice for breakfast breakfast. little fruit salad here. >> oh, okay. i get it. >> you see what i did there? anyway -- >> all comes full circle.

ask your doctor about lyrica. does the smell of a freshly bound presentation fill you w wh optimism? do you love your wireless keyboard more than certain family members? is your success due to a filing system only you understand? does printing from your tablet to your wireless printer give you a jolt of confidence? if so, you may be gearcentric. someone who knows that the right office gear helps you do great things. and there's one place that has it all. office depot officemax. gear up for great. we're non stop, we've gotta have our extra protein. oikos triple zero greek non fat yogurt has 15 grams of protein. zero added sugar, zero artificial sweetener and zero fat. and zero holding me back! oikos triple zero. be unstoppable. mmm dannon i'm home. hey, it's dinner. a lot happens on your wooden surfaces.
