We know that. So the question is, did the summer go . The summer went like that. We completely wasted it. The weather was so mixed up this summer. We had a tough time with all of that. But a lot of people tonight are going to be driving home, back to their homes from whatever last gasp they had of summer. Many, many millions are going to be traveling. Were going to let you know the worst time to travel. Do not get in your car between 5 00 p. M. To 7 00 p. M. Its the worst traffic ever. So either leave after 7 00 or leave before 5 00. Heres the thing. I think that what they should do if they really want to be very, very like sure of it, the minute our show is done, you get in that automobile and dont watch anything else. Nothing else matters. My bad. Uhhuh. All right. So heres the thing. If you dont like sitting in traffic and weve all been there. Who does. Sometimes when its a spectacular day on the beach you decide youll wait and go at the last second. If you sat in traffic if you wondered how many hours do i sit in traffic every year . Depends on where you live. But the average is 38 hours. You spend 38 hours of your life, a day and a half sitting in traffic. No, i know. And most of the time you arent happy. So imagine the stress thats having on your psyche. But if you live in l. A. , theres even worse, worse, worse. You spend 42 hours in traffic. And sometimes it feels like the whole 42 hours. If you have to be somewhere thats the thing. Its always when you dont have to be somewhere that everything flies. Thats the thing that surprised me. When i first moved to new york city and i was trying to get six blocks to go somewhere. You learn you are better off walking. You cant believe and it was pouring. I remember thinking my hair exactly. Id rather sit for 35 minutes in a car 38 hours. Even in that stretch, i had to wait longer than a half hour to go six blocks. When you are in manhattan, i over underestimate or overestimate how quickly i can get somewhere. Thats when you learned about the subway properly, which is still the best way to get around town. I rarely take it, but i hear i dont do a lot of i come in in the morning and i go home. And, yes, i am wearing white on labor day, okay. So there. Because i want to know who they are that says you cant wear it. They say you cant wear white after labor day. Who are they . If you know who they is, would you please let us know . They be. Who they be. Let us know. Wed like to know. All right. So if youve ever been driving, you may be driving home with a gps although it does enhance me quite a bit. Shes been admiring herself. Theres something about me today. Her tetons. Her grand tetons. Oh, memories like the corner of my mind if you have been driving home and you have a gps do you like those . No. I dont know who she is, god bless her, but i hate her voice. Second, shes often wrong. She tells you at the last second when youve already missed it. Which causes some accidents. I think sometimes there are three turns and she says turn right and you are like, i can turn right here, here or here. Which one . You take one and then she tells you reconfiguring route. Turn around. Reconfigure this, missy because its based on old data. Data sounds smarter. People are always doing construction projects, laws are changed. All of a sudden in nantucket they said you cant go why am i talking to joe of all people when hoda is here. Anyhoo. Joe is good to talk to. Im wearing white. No youre not. Ive got white shoes. Thats your bvds. You know what im saying . They dont know that theres construction going on. They dont know that a oneway street has now been changed to the other way. The street we live on here in new york city will tell you to go down it, you cant. Collegehumor. Com decided to have fun with people getting in a car and going somewhere with somebody who was driving them. They kind of messed with the gps. Take a look. Take a right on to kent avenue. Take a left on to green point avenue. I mean right. Take a right on to green point avenue. Wow, they make mistakes. Continue straight on to bedford avenue. Want to know Something Interesting about that phone . Rough night last night, buddy . Turn right on to what did you do to get her . What did he just say . It is my first day. Can you tell . Did you buy that shirt in, a, the 80s, b, the 80s, or c, the 80s. Turn right. So, really, what did you do to get her . I told you im not bugging. I told you im not bugging. Remember to buckle your seat belt. Life is precious and so are you. I wish i could be a polka dot on your shirt. Where did they get this. I cant believe im being dissed by a computer. That is what i am talking about. You have made my day. This is actually a human being talking behind you in a car that is following you. We are following behind you and videotaping everything. Thats very, very cute. You know what, i like that because its adorable and nobody gets hurt and its not mean spirited. So much of that stuff is. I like it. Wed love to know. What do you think . Is it distracting . Wed love to know some horrible story. It told you to go somewhere and you went over a cliff. Stuff like that. Heres a note from phil and his social qs. Are you ready . I am. It read, im a young lawyer and a man. I work with a more senior female lawyer who refers to the secretaries in our office as girls. Shell say please give these papers to the girl outside or the girl at reception has a package for you. These are mostly middle aged women and usually older than my lawyer colleagues. Still the women shes talking about dont seem to mind. Isnt this behavior sexist . Should i Say Something . Philip says its always wrong to refer to them as girls. I disagree. I dont mind. At 60, feels good to be called a girl. Believe me. Its relative. I think it depends on who is doing it. What tone. Give it to the girl out front. If its very dismissive like that, nobody is interested. I think for a woman doing it to women, i dont think its as offensive. I like the word broad. Give it to the broad in the front desk. I like that. That says it all. It does. Frank calls them gals. Its not his fault. But gals is generational. You have to cut people a little slack. Cut them some slack. I dont think anybody means it meanspiritedly. If they do, you know it when they say it. So if you are one of these moms out there who likes to share pictures of their children on social media. Inappropriately and who cares. But, anyway, a survey of huggies found 67 of new moms share pictures from the delivery room. So the baby is being born and people are snapping pictures. So amanda, one of our producers asked people on social media, do you do this . She was inundated. The pictures everybody is so proud of their children and so thrilled they are actually able to give birth. Here is baby cordelia making her entrance. Cordel arks, is what i said if you were listening. So here is melissa, minutes after. Maybe thats her last name. Youre right. Its melissa minutes after giving birth. Or its melissa minutes. We dont care. Here she is. Next is this picture. Sabrina second. Im kidding. Sabrina moxley hoda. Eres robby and christina with their brand new twins. Theres my shower cap. I have that one. Thats a beautiful picture. And finally, if facebook was around in 1978, this picture would have been posted online. Remember i told you amanda our producer. Thats amanda, baby. She came in with a screech. She was way ahead of the trend because thats what she is. Shes a social media phenom. Freak do you mind the word girl . Gal . Broad . Lets do favorite things. Im happy to do it because we get asked to endorse a lot of different books and stuff like that. This particular book, i fell in love with this. Its called freddy the frogcaster by janice dean, the weather machine. 10 on amazon. Com. Its just adorable. It really is precious. I was dlietd to gave blush v i was delighted to give a blurb. What did i say there . You wrote, even amphibians should allow their dreams and janice has written a charming whimsical story that will appeal to the inner frog in all of us. I see sunny skies ahead for freddy the frogcaster. I want ella and hannah to hannah to have it have it because they will adore it.

Run to your phones. Were going to reveal our fans of the week. Probably not you. And guess who is back . That dynamic duo. E. Jean carroll and matthew hussey. Something is going on with those two. They are a match made in heaven, right after this. We all know relationships can be tricky. Especially if you have a hard time reading the opposite sex. Weve enlisted some excellent help. Back by popular demand are two people who have a lot to say. E. Jean carroll and love life strategist and author of et the guy, matthew hussey. They are an odd couple and we love them. Jackie says different parenting styles is our biggest problem. Im the stern one, always the bad guy. Where is the meet in the middle . You are asking two people who do not have children. You are the experts here. I say if youre going to have children, have a child to enjoy the child. Dont fight over the child. But theres a discipline issue that can fracture even if you are disciplining, cant you enjoy and enjoy each other . No. Thank you. But thanks for asking. Next, matthew. To our next expert. That was a good start. You have two parents firstly going for the kid is the lowt point of leverage. Go for your partner. In communication, the kids say you have two demigods. The kids looking up to the mom and father and they are gods in that world. You are only as strong as your weakest link in that scenario. If one of the parents is not going to be strong, it affects the whole thing. I believe two parents have to get in a situation where they actually say to each other, whats our vision for this child . Whats our vision before the children even come to the planet is a good time to have that conversation. The vision for the childs growth and the environment of love we want to create of how easy is it to for that child to be who they want to be. Thats the important thing. Then every action has to follow that vision. Dont you wish youd said that . Heres the important thing. As two parents, if one of them is being stern and someone not, the distinction you have to make is between tone and message. Its okay for tone to be different. Not okay for message to be different. Youre going to take 20 minutes with the next answer, too . Its going to be easy and stern. Ready. Heres from susan. My husband and i disagree about his lack of grooming. Ew. He refuses to cut his hair. Its very long. He wears it in ponytails. Plural. I hate it. What should i do . Those are called pigtails when theres two of them. You cant say that for a man, though. Its like willie nelson. Its his head. His hair. Leave him alone. If he came up and said to you, honey, i think youd look better if you lost 15 pounds, its the same thing. But its cleanliness, though, isnt it . Shes talking about cleanliness. Grooming. I hate it when women and men start to tell each other how to look, how to behave. How much to wear. How its his hair. How little to wear. Exactly. Honey, put on a little garter belt tonight to come to bed. Let him have his own hair. Let them be who they are. But what if they stink . In any case, none of that, what you guys just said is right. Oh, really . If you are going to be how are you enjoying your last time on the show . Is it good for you . Im going to enjoy it now. Your job as someones partner is to be their sexual pleasure, is to be the person they are attracted to. If you arent providing that for them, then who is going to. If you arent attracted to long hair you better be bold and tell him. You dont have to tell him by saying i dont like long hair but be positive in your reinforcement and be bold about what you would like. They dont often start out that way. They start at after 30 years, they go they get lazy and stop washing. Where does it stop after this. First its the hair. Then its what hes wearing. Then his jeans, butt. Heres the only caveat id add to the person that asked this question. If you are going to be bold about what you want, be okay with it the other way around, too. Be fair. Thats the way it has to be. If he wants you to look a certain way, you have to be open to that, too. But if you want a hairstyle that im not attracted to, what, im not going to be attracted to you for the rest of my life . I just look at you the minute you open your mouth i want to go down on my knees. Thats how good looking you are. Thats a special scenario. Well, all righty. You think you know a person, but apparently not. Thanks, kids. Happy labor day. Its crowded down there. Are we putting your face why do we have to say that .

We are kicking off this labor day fun day monday with the falls hottest boots and how to wear them. Those ankle boots are everywhere. But which ones can you wear with a dress or your jeans, get them tucked in or not. It gets kind of confusing. Amy is here from instyle and is about to enlighten us. So the ankle boots are all in this season . Ankle boots are all the rage. We have so many new styles. Theres really something for everyone. Okay. Good. We start off with sachal. Is that how you pronounce her name . These are fall boots. These are 99 we hear. Exactly. These are from nine west. This is the split front booty. This is a great update on the booty friend weve been seeing for a few seasons because its so wearable with the v shape in front. It gives you a little leg cleavage, well call it, which is much more flattering than a traditional ankle boot that can cut off your leg at the ankle. It can shorten you very much. Great with cropped pants, skirts, dresses. Easy way to update your look. And they are 99. 99 from nine west. Thank you. Kristen is coming out next with the next set of hot fall boots. And these come from french connection. French connection, yes. These are what were calling the peekaboo bootie. They have beautiful cutouts. Look at the detailing. It shows a little bit of skin, which lightens up the boot. Its not as heavy like some boots in the past were kind of very heavy and again, this gives it a lightness. Makes it a little more feminine. Its a great matchup with this dress if you can believe it, is vegan. It adds a femininity to this edgy dress. And also looks great with cropped pants. So what should you not wear those boots with . Your grandmother. Although if your grandmother is really hip. I think can pull it off. But she should not wear tights. You dont want to wear tights with this look because you wont be able to see the detailing. Also wear it with tapered pants so you can see the beauty of the shoe. And intrickcy of the detail. Thank you. Next up is kathryn. Shes got a flat boot. This is the mens wear trend. This is huge for fall. This is a really cute goto weekend look because its so comfortable.
