Rowdiest party of the year. And were so ready were already here in l. A. Today, friday, january 10th, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to a special split edition of today on a friday morning. Im Savannah Guthrie up here in los angeles. And im willie geist along with al roker and kate snow here in studio 1a. Matt and natalie on assignment. You mentioned Chris Christie, savannah, i think he was hoping that press conference would put some of this story to bed. Not the case here in new york. Here are the front pages of the New York Daily News calling the performance pathetic and the New York Post saying ignorance is chris. This is a long way from over. And that is todays top story this morning. The political payback scandal that is raising questions about Chris Christies political future. He says he played no role in shutting down traffic as a means of political retribution. But this morning, the new jersey governor is facing a new lawsuit, more evidence to be released today. Lets get to Nbcs Kelly Odonnell at the state house in trenton this morning. Hi to you, and good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. More headaches and more problems today for governor christie. About 1,000 pages of documents will be released about the lane closures. Just as he is trying to get control of this crisis. Governor christie making a road trip seeking forgiveness. A personal visit to visit with the mayor of ft. Lee, new jersey. Im here today to also apologize to the people of ft. Lee. And, you know, terrible thing. And were going to work to regain their trust. Reporter thrust in the spotlight, mayor sokolich took his apology. He said he had nothing to do with it. Reporter emails suggest it was planned as political punishment for the ft. Lee mayor who did not support christies reelection. Christie fired his deputy chief of staff and parted ways with his campaign manager. His appointee at the Port Authority David Wildstein resigned and took the fifth. Christie says he feels betrayed. Im just stunned. And what does it make me ask about me . It makes me ask about me what did i do wrong to have these folks think it was okay to lie to me . Reporter the governor said he skds asked top aides and was told no one on his team caused the traffic mess. Christie says he knew nothing until a new jersey paper published the emails wednesday morning. I was standing there in my bedroom with my ipad looking at that. How incredibly sad and betrayed i felt. Adding, he has yet to reach the anger stage. Im sad. Im sad, thats the predominant emotion i feel right now. Is sadness. Reporter this feeds to critics perceptions that christie fosters hardball tactics. He denies that. I am who i am, but i am not a bully. Reporter part of what he will have to face today is a lawsuit filed by some Bergen County residents saying they were treated as trapped rats unable to get work where their pay was docked. Also today, the governor does not have public events. He says he will continue to talk to employees and work to find out more answers, and he expects as he is seeking more facts to be coming out. Savannah. All right, Kelly Odonnell this morning. Lets turn to david gregory. Good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. If they kept records of such things, 108 minutes for a press conference would have to set one. I guess the strategy was, let reporters knock themselves out, wear themselves out asking every single question and maybe this thing will go away. Did it work or backfir and do you think he shouldve gotten off the stage sooner . I talked to republicans and democrats who think he bought himself some space. The bottom line question is was he involved . If he wasnt involved, perhaps he can avoid political death. If he was involved, most professionals think in the business, he couldnt survive if he was involved. But if you take him at his word, he was not involved. The press conference was about being judged. He knows hell be judged now on crisis management. This is a cultural question. How did this rogue operation if were to believe what the governors saying, take root in his own office and exact this kind of petty, political revenge without him knowing or without his countenance at some level. That his deputy chief of staff do something she thought would not be supported by the governor . I think thats really the thrust of the question right now. Yeah. Thats the question of whether first the question of whether he knew and then theres whether he shouldve known. And even though this was bubbling up over the last couple of months, did christie do enough and say enough to show he was actually interested in getting to the bottom of it or was he uncurious about it . Well, first of all, at the time, this thing is going down. It just smells bad. It looks like petty, political retribution at the time its going down. Why didnt he inquire . Why didnt he try to stop something thats a big traffic problem on the first day of school impacting ems vehicles and all the rest. Its a former u. S. Attorney, what hes telling reporters yesterday, i said when this thing came out, you have an hour to tell me if we were involved. How about saying, tell me everything. I want to know everybody who was involved at every level. I think thats going to keep these questions going there. Federal investigations and obviously the state house in new jerseys going to keep the pressure on. Again, it comes down to do you believe that he had no knowledge of a rogue political operation . Or did people think this was something ultimately the governor would want if he was denied an endorsement by a democratic mayor in ft. Lee to go ahead and do Something Like this. And you mentioned this federal inquiry going on. That could go on for some time as prosecutors look into whether there was criminal activity here. Does that put the brakes on something he would otherwise be doing for 2016 should he seek the presidency. Well, theres a lot of time until iowa. And the top democrat David Axelrod said we have a tendency to look at these moments in the moment when there are very few of those. Were too far away to look at that kind of longterm impact. It will certainly fortify critics who think that christie peaked too early in his popularity after a good reelection. And republicans in the party who dont think hes that electable anyway. A northeastern governor, there are comparisons to rudy giuliani. But overall, too early to really judge that impact, i think. David gregory in washington, i know you have a lot more on this on sunday on meet the press. Lets go to willie now back in new york. Savannah, thank you. Now to a really alarming situation, West Virginia, a Chemical Spill leading to a state of emergency overnight and serious warning to Business Owners and residents there. Anne thompson is the chief Environmental Affairs correspondent. Good morning. Good morning, willie. President obama has authorized fema to coordinate Emergency Rescue efforts. American water has a clear statement to the residents. Dont use the water. A Chemical Spill thursday has up to 300,000 people in West Virginia putting down their Drinking Water after concerns over its safety. A chemical called 4methylcyclohexane methanol spilled into West Virginias elk river on thursday and contaminating the water supply and putting 300,000 people at risk. The source, a leak from a nearby coal Treatment Facility making the water unsafe for drinking, cooking and bathing. The governor declared a state of emergency in nine counties as the Health Department shut down schools, restaurants and bars. Residents are rushing to local stores to stock up on bottled water, but the supply cant keep up. They had a limit of one so i wouldnt be so greedy as to steal all the water. Buys ice to use for Drinking Water. The chemical is a colorless liquid that some say smells like black licorice. And while its not lethal in the current form, may be harmful if inhaled or ingested. My hands are swollen and im having hard time breathing. Reporter there is nothing to be done to clean up the mess. An environmental spokesperson says the chemical floats on the water and will eventually dissipate, but cant actually be removed. So for now, its bottled water or no water. A state of emergency will be in place until the water is safe to use again. Officials dont know when that will be. Until then, theyre asking people to be neighborly. And those who live in unaffected areas fill up bottles with clean water to share with those who are living in areas where the water is no longer clean. Willie . Boy, thats really scary. Lets hope everybody heeds the warning and stays safe down there. Kate snow is in while natalie is out on assignment. New developments on the amanda knox story. Amanda knox has told an italian newspaper if shes again convicted of murder, she will become a fugitive rather than return to an italian prison. Keir simmons is in london with the details. Good morning. Amanda knox made these comments in a newspaper interview from seattle while an Italian Court is hearing the closing arguments of her retrial for murder. Reporter jailed for murder in 2009, amanda knox cried tears of relief when her conviction was finally overturned. Thank you for being there for me. Now, shes suggested she will not leave her home in seattle even if an Italian Court finds her guilty again. What will you do if they sentence you, an italian newspaper asked her. In that case, i will become, what do you call it, a fugitive, she reportedly replied. Last year on today, matt asked amanda if she would go back if she was convicted. I was already in prison as an innocent person in italy. And i cant reconcile the choice to go back with that experience. Reporter her coaccused, former boyfriend raffaele sollecito, is in the Italian Court for the retrial convinced they will be acquitted of the murder of british student Meredith Kercher in 2007. What little dna evidence there was to tie the pair to the killing was later found to be the result of contamination. Amanda knox says one day she would like to visit Meredith Kerchers family. So far, they have made clear they would not welcome that, still believing she was involved in their daughters murder. Now, this morning in a statement, amanda knox clarifies what she said. She says if she was convicted, if she was, legally i will be defined as a fugitive, but i will continue to fight for my innocence, adding i will not willingly submit myself to injustice.

Reporter its hollywoods very public alist party. Only at the Golden Globes do the Beautiful People of film rub shoulders with the rat face people of television. Like the movies and shows created by the stars, the globes themselves are famous for comedy, a little drama. I already did my coming out about 1,000 years ago back in the stone age.

Well talk to him in a minute. But first, natalie on assignment. Kate has a check of the top stories inside. New documents being released today in the political payback scandal that could threaten the white house ambitions of new jersey governor Chris Christie. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is at the State Capitol where critics and supporters are wondering if christies apologies are enough. Kelly, good morning. Reporter good morning, kate. It begins, of course, with the personal apology to the ft. Lee mayor. And he started off with a twohour News Conference, the longest ive ever covered from a Government Official where christie talked about feeling heartbroken and betrayed that once trusted aides are linked to this scandal. He talked about the emails and made apologies. The language used and the conduct displayed in those emails is unacceptable to me. And i will not tolerate it. But the best i can do is when i see stuff like that to end it. What they did hurt the people of new jersey and hurt the people of ft. Lee. And the person who needs to apologize for that is me. And i have. Reporter governor christie now faces potentially more headaches with upon 1,000 pages of documents being released today at the State Capitol with a state Assembly Committee investigating this. Theres also been a class action suit filed naming christie and other Government Officials because of the traffic snarls last september. Again, this all linked to traffic used as punishment for a mayor who had not supported christie during the reelection. Kate . Kelly odonnell following it all in new jersey, thanks. An update now on a story that got widespread attention when prosecutors in missouri dropped rape charges against a Popular High School Football Player from a politically connected family. The latest this morning from nbcs ron mott. Reporter for much of the past two years Daisy Coleman and her family contend she had been raped by a classmate. An allegation that divided the small Martinez Town of maryville and triggered outrage far beyond its city limits. But on thursday, Matthew Barnett pleaded misdemeanor child endangerment for what he says was consensual sex with then 14yearold coleman before dropping her off barefoot and outside her house on a cold winter night. Our analysis was after a long trial and after very possibly further dividing a community we were going to end up with a misdemeanor conviction of what we have right now. Reporter in a statement, coleman says shes grateful barnette took responsibility and that the incident will not define her. Barnettes whose fourmonth jail sentence was suspended, was initially charged with sexual assault, but the prosecutor dropped the case. Mr. Barnette truly regrets the actions to which he has pled guilty. Hell now focus on fulfilling the terms of his plea agreement. The colemans eventually moved after what they say was persistent bullying. Ron mott, nbc news, chicago. A massive Chain Reaction crash near boise, idaho, sent ten people to the hospital. State troopers blamed fog and icy roads for the pileup thursday that involved 46 cars, trucks and suvs. They say it all started when one car trying to switch lanes caused another to spin out into the path of a logging truck.

And now to tom arnold who has made big changes in his life. Hes a new dad and a new person. Were going to talk to him about his major weight loss in a moment. But first, a look back at what hes been through. Four, five reporter tom arnold is a changed man since the birth of his son jax last april. Like getting nominated for an oscar every day. At 54 and a father for the first time, arnold knew he had to make profound changes in his life. All of a sudden it clicked in my head ive got a kid and youre like, oh, im in this forever. Through much of his life he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. Hes now clean and sober, but he also struggled with his weight. Ive always thought i was fat. His very public career as a comedian as arnie thomas on the show roseanne and starring with Arnold Schwarzenegger in true lies showcased the ups and downs with his battle of the bulge. At 62, hes weighed in at more than 300 pounds. Jax and wife ashley changed all that. Arnolds focus became losing the weight, getting fit and staying healthy. Ten minutes, if i could do ten minutes reporter for breakfast, arnold has gone from a sixegg omelet with cheese, six Turkey Sausage links plus oatmeal to greek yogurt with agave nectar. And chia seeds. Arnold lost 90 pounds in nine months. I really changed the way i eat. And hence the way i live. Theres no other option. And tom arnold is with me this morning. Good morning to you. Good morning. You are a shadow of your former self. And i mean that in the best possible way. Its shocking. I had no idea i was that big. And i see clips from a year ago, a show i filmed the other night. And i was like, oh, my gosh, its like i had an extra padding of me. And you forget. You only look at yourself in the eyes in the mirror if youre big, because youre embarrassed. But man, i was big. I really appreciate my wife for marrying me now. She married that guy. Well, tell me about this transformation. Because it has a lot to do with your wife. Yeah. And your new baby. That was kind of an aha moment for you. The moment jax was born, april 6th. People were sending cakes to the room, and i was eating all the frosting off the cake, going back in the other room and doing that. And then i said, wait a minute, this kid, im 54, i weigh almost 300 pounds, this isnt going to work out if i want to be around this kid. Every day is important when youre my age. From that moment on, i stopped eating like a jerk. I stopped being selfish about what i ate, and i really Pay Attention to it. And the weight came off. And as you mentioned, this is something youve struggled with your whole life. Tell me about the bad old days. What kind of changes did you have to make to change your eating habits . Well, i grew up in ottumwa, iowa, and it was an eating competition at times. When i worked at mcdonalds, i would eat eight big macs. It was always like how much can i eat . What can we do . We work hard, work in the field. But then when you work in my business now and im still eating like that and dont have that physical farm job, its a problem. My selfesteem so tied up in that. I hated trying on clothes, had to wear the same shirts over and over. Had to make sure they were clean if i was performing because only two shirts fit me. And its just felt really bad about myself. So many people can relate to that feeling. I was actually wondering, here you are, you changed so much on the outside, but as we know, so much of weight loss is whats going on up here. Right. Do you feel like a thin person . Well, i feel im a little surprised when i look and i see whats there now. I dont know if ill ever feel like a thin person, but a healthy person. This isnt a diet. Im going to be a father forever. Its the first relationship ive ever had that i go, yeah, this is permanent. You know, Everything Else in my life, my mother growing up, she left, whatever. But my son is permanent. Ive got to do everything i can for him forever. Give us a glimpse. We saw a little bit of it in the piece. What did you do to do this . And are chia seeds delicious . Theyre interesting, but im told they blow up in your stomach like a chia pet and fill your stomach up. Thats what dr. Oz says. If he says it, i believe it. No ive done a lot of stuff. I eliminated bread immediately, no sugar. Its about what you put in your mouth, but i also do cardio. Thats helps my head. Ive always done it. It calms me down. I eat healthy, ashleys helped me a lot. I have somebody cook food every three days and bring it over so i dont have to think about it. I try to go gluten free now. As time goes on, i learn more and more about food. What you put in your babys mouth, you read every label. I thought, well, maybe i should do that with myself. So a lot less calories, but ive never been hungry this whole time and i dont feel im on a diet. Well, its amazing what youve accomplished in a short time. Congratulations to you on all your successes. And congratulations to you. Thank you. Thank you. Great to see you. Which figure skaters will represent team usa in sochi .

Golden globe and emmy nominated actress Christina Ricci stars in a new movie on lifetime. Thank you for braving the cold. For people who dont know about lizzie bordon. To use the term dark is an understatement. It goes back to an old nursery rhyme. Lizsy bordon took an ax and gave her mother 40 whacks. You know this one . When she saw what shed done, she gave her father 41. Yikes. Thats a great nursery rhyme. Tell us about the movie and the role. Well, its about lizzie bordon, and she murdered both of her parents with an axe in the 1800s. And its based on a true story. Yeah, yeah. It was sort of one of the first really sensational kind of crime courtroom stories that happened in this country. It was right at the time when tabloid journalism was born. How was swinging the axe . It was good. They made me do it a number of times. Got some guns out of it. Yeah. She was acquitted way back then. Right . She was. Because it was inconceivable to the Larger Society that a woman would be able to do this. Do you think she was snent. No hello. This is like right up your alley. It was fun. Any time you do something thats such an extreme, something so foreign, its fun as an actor. And also, im kind of on crime. She wouldnt even make a headline these days, would she . No. We cant wait to see it. Little bit negative. Lizzie bordon premieres saturday, january 25th on lifetime. Two weeks from tomorrow. Christina, good to see you. Thank you.

Figure skating championship which helps determine who will represent america at the winter games began last night in boston. 22yearold ashley wagner, the twotime defending national champion, squarely in the spotlig spotlight. Ashley wagners Olympic Dreams began more than a decade ago. After just missing out on qualifying for the last olympics, the stage is now set for her to earn her ticket to sochi. When you see me at the u. S. National championships, in my mind im going to be freaking out. Im going to be like, oh, my god, theres so much at stake at this one competition. But im going to try and focus mostly on the fact that im welltrained, ive been doing this for most of my life, i should get my act together and go out and skate. And Scott Hamilton is nbcs olympics figure skating analyst up in boston for the competition. Great to see you. Hey, scott, how are you . Good morning. Im doing great. Awesome to be in boston, wicked. Wicked. Okay. Youre in the spirit. So ashley wagners the twotime national champion. A lot of people looking at her to be the leader of this figure Skating Group for the americans in sochi. Last night, she came in fourth in the short program. A lot of people expecting her to do a little better. How does that affect her chances of making the team . You know, honestly, i dont see any problem with her making the team at all. Shes been the top american lady for the last two years. And shes got, you know, great position to even medal, might be a potential medal winner at the olympics. I dont see any problem with her making the team. And shes fit. Shes healthy. Shes ready to go. She may have wanted it a little too bad last night, may have gripped it too tight going into that combination, but did the rest of the program beautifully and intense performance. And a great watch. So i hope people tune in today and watch it. Hey, scott, its hoda. Im liking this 18yearold gracie gold. I love her last name. She did very well last night. Tell us about her chances. Well, very well is an understatement. She was amazing. She looked like a princess on the ice. The look of her, the way shes packaged herself, the way shes prepared herself. Shes got a new coach who coached evan lysacek to a gold medal in vancouver. She came out and owned it last night. She did everything perfectly, beautifully in a spectacular fashion. I think it was a National Record for a lady short program. And shes in the lead right now. And shes got a comfortable lead. She may just win this thing. And the big favorites in ice dancing, scott, meryl davis and charlie white. How are they looking heading to sochi . Spectacular. I watched their practice yesterday and they just i mean, theyre perfect. Theyre absolutely perfect. And when you look at their biggest competitors, i mean, theyre perfect, as well. So they skate together and have the same coaches. Its an amazing story about how they push each other. And charlie and meryl never looked better. So i anticipate them really competing well for the gold medal in sochi. All right, scott. Great to get your insights on everything. Talk to you soon. Thanks, scott. Great. Thank you. Good to see you guys. You got it. You can catch the prudential figure skating championships tomorrow at 3 00 and 8 00 p. M. Eastern right here on nbc. And you know who else is up in boston . Who .

Shes from aspen, missouri, and she loves to go for rides in the car. Gets in that car and jump around and goes everywhere. Dorothy mike, bartow, florida. And she is 100 years old today. And she likes to play bingo. Thats good for the mind, they tell me. I wouldnt know. I dont have one. They say older folks love bingo. Computers, theyre now into that. Edward kulik, augusta, georgia.

Coming up next, bold predictions. Who will be walking away with the Golden Globes on sunday night . [ wind howling ] [ female announcer ] it balances you. [ water crashing ]. It fills you with energy. And it gives you what you are looking for to live a more natural life. In a convenient two bar pack. This is Nature Valley. Delicious granola bars made with the best ingredients in nature. Nature valley. Nature at its most delicious. We are gearing up for a party here in los angeles. For sunday nights Golden Globes here on nbc. The stars will be out in force. But who will win the coveted awards . Here with his predictions, dave carter. Host of frontrunners on fandango. Are you ready to go out on a limb . I am. Egg on my face maybe on monday, but well go for it. We wont remind you. Wait, yes we will. Best drama. What are the contenders . A twoway race between 12 years a slave which got the most nominations and also gravity. I think 12 years of slave because it has the big sprawling cast, i would give that the edge, but also that some of the Hollywood Foreign press dont love the movie so much. And when theres only 85 people, a couple votes can swing it one way or the other. So my pick is 12 years of slave but i wouldnt be surprised if gravity takes it. What about best actor in a drama . I think the star of 12 years a slave. Not many people knew him or knew how to pronounce his name. I think they will. They do now. This will position him as a frontrunner for the oscar. But also you cant count out Matthew Mcconaughey for dallas buyers club. Best actress, you have a surprise here. Blue jasmine. She is incredible. So great. I think shes going to dominate the whole awards season. I think shell win at the globe and at the oscars. She hasnt been campaigning because shes been in australia working, but i think shes going to make a big appearance and thats going to set her on pace to win everything. So the globes are a little odd. They have the best drama category and then the best comedy category, which the movies are kind of comedies in this category . In the past, actual comedies have been nominated for best comedies like the hangover, which won best comedy a couple of years ago. This year, its kind of like in the middle ground movies. And the foremost one is american hustle. That got tons of nominations. The whole cast was nominated. Its really coming on strong in the awards season. I think it will win. Who do you think takes the awards in comedy section . I think for best actor in a comedy, youve got Leonardo Dicaprio and christian bale, theyre the two front runners. My vote is leo. And for best actress, i think its meryl streep for august osage county. It would be her ninth golden globe. If theres an upset, its amy adams for american hustle. And whats great is theyre friends. They made doubt and julie and julia. Whoever wins i think theyll acknowledge the other. How wonderful for amy adams to share it with meryl streep. Thats incredible. Preview to tina and amy. Some say theyre the real stars of the night. They killed last year. I was in the room. Im hearing their opening is very spectacular this year, and theyve been working on it for weeks. I cannot wait to see who they make fun of. I remember all the great jokes at the expense of james cameron. Last year. They can get away with stuff no one else can get away with. Theres something about the cheshire cat grins that are sharp. Theyre sharp but not unkind. Perfect hosts. Well, ive written down all your predictions, dave. See you back here monday. Thanks. Lets see how you do. And you can catch all the excitement right here on nbc starting with our Golden Globes, the special, and al, carson and i will be here monday Morning Bright and early. Well give you a complete wrap of the evening. Coming up next, will they bite . Stars of the shark tank weigh in on an invention we found in our crowd. But first this is today on nbc.

This is the pursuit of perfection. From nbc news, this is todays w al roker, natalie morales, and willie geist, live from stuo 1a in rockefelr plaza. Welcome t today on this friday its january 10th, 2014. Im willie geist with al roker and Jenna Bushhager here again. Welcome back. The Chris Christie press conference and apology yesterday Headline News everywhere. Not just the new york area but across the country. No doubt. Didnt go over so well with the tabs. The New York Daily News calling it pathetic. This one is tough. The New York Post says ignorance is chris. The governor speaking for almost two hours at a press conference. Hour and 48. That is pretty lengthy. It is. He said im embarrassed and humiliated by some of the people on my team. I had no knowledge in the planning or execution and stunned by the abject stupidity shown here. Ultimately im responsible for what happens under my watch, the good and the bad. He fired his aide, brid jet kelly. He said he fired her without talking to her. Just fired her. If somebody did that, if i was, you know, the governor, i would want an explanation. I would want to know, a, why did you do it. B, who was in on it . Was there anybody else. How do you fire somebody with something this momentous and not find out a little bit more . Maybe that was the first step. The firing. And then the conversations come later. Or no . I dont know. Once youre fired, you have no i dont have to talk to you. Yeah. You said it it was based on the emails made public. They were disseminated through the media. I think he did all he could do yesterday. He was overwhelmingly apologetic. 24 times he used i apologize. I think he wanted to answer every single question. You know . Honorable. Yeah. He wasnt skirting around anything. Fired some of his closest aides. His campaign manager. He didnt leave himself a lot of space. He said i knew absolutely nothing about this. He said i was blindsided and woke up a couple of mornings ago and heard about this. If kelly says heres an email or order from the governor, he finds himself in deep trouble. No evidence of that. You have to assume hes telling the truth because, you know, he is a smart man. He knows that would come back to bite him. Right, right. You know . He did say he couldnt guarantee when a reporter asked there arent more stories of retribution like this. He said im smart enough now i dont know. Maybe there are more emails throughout. Even if thats the case, now going forward, if you have other plans, how can you present yourself as a competent executive thats right. If all this stuff is going on and you dont know. Im sure theres conversations going on today in his office. You think . Conversations. A couple of them. Bmight be a big meeting righ now. Interesting to see how long the legs of this story are because hes obviously a guy talked about as a president ial candidate, perhaps nominee. If this comes back to haunt him or if the attention of the span of the American Public is such that it goes away. It was completely ignored by the latenight comics. Completely ignored. A dream come true for the guys in late night. Take a look. Christie quickly left the News Conference to deal with a more personal crisis. The velve eta cheese shortage. He said one thing that seemed fishy to me. I was blindsided yesterday morning. I was done with my workout. Right . He could have said he was on his roof putting ribbons on unico unicorniunicor unicorniunicor unicorns. Would have been more likely. Hillary clinton said, party bringing in the air sacks. Thats right. See that coming. That was amazing. Fantastic. Those jokes arent going anywhere. The Golden Globes are sunday. We are geared up. Al, you will be on the red carpet. 8 00 7 00 central. Sunday night. Going for gold is the special tonight featuring interviews, several nominees. I got a chance to sit down this week with Bradley Cooper. Your boyfriend. Narrative. I think you would have to show you you have a bromance. You couldnt even speak to him. He laughed through the interview. He is a good man. A nervous chuckle. You hit a lot of really hardhitting subjects like this one. Like his got to ask you about the hair. Yeah. Curlers. Your idea . Unfortunately, yeah. Really . You volunteered to have that hair . I did i take it from the question that not a good choice . No. It works for you. I dont know if it would work for everyone. Right. You got the hair. This is the hair. You did that . I tightened up the curlers. I love its a great movie and the 70s period stuff. The costumes and the hair and the chains. Just i love david o russell. You interviewed him as well . Yeah. I did last year and he is a terrific guy. So smart and thoughtful about movies. Passionate. A clique now. Christian bale and Jennifer Lawrence. You have to meet my girl jennifer. Im like, Jennifer Lawrence . Ill meet her. Why not . Loves al roker, as well. She is not a bad girl to love you. Shes a nothing wrong with that. A big fan. Not as big as you of Bradley Cooper. All right already. Come on. Go golly. You love the man. America loves the man. What do you have going on vacation next week . Turks and caicos . Yes. All right. So buzzfeed has a post up. Guys can relate. Things that happen yes. Guys and women. Significant things that happen when your significant other is out of town. How many can you relate to . Youre excited about the extra space in the bed. Yes. All right. Spread out. I love when i can use his pillow for some i dont like it on an every night occasion. Its hard. When he is not there and has to get up early, i got 30 more minutes, i spread over to his side. Anybody snels. Yeah, yeah. You spread. Yeah. That would be an awkward reveal. That would be this next one, a little odd. You let some personal hygiene and grooming fall by the wayside. I dont do that. I still shower, right . Wash the hair . Yes. Okay. Yeah. Al, do you wash the hair . Really . Serious seriously . Is that like the christie cheese joke . I shave my legs. I do. I dont like to feel the spike on the sheets. There you go. On the sheets . Yeah. Nobody likes that sound. You decide with full conviction to look great for them when they come back so you go to the gym once. Not really. Discuss and nauseate yourself by the times you say i miss you and i love you. I dont know about nauseate. I say it in a nice, norm away. The way you always do . Yeah. How about this one . Apparently not connecting with these. Gone long enough and not already initiated, this is when you make your awkward foray no. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who came up with these . Buzzfeed you start sexting. Not me. Even if it has these are young people. One of the things it said i do relate with is you save your shows for when your husband gets home. Were a big breaking bad like seven years later, i know. Were finishing and last night i was hoping hed get home and it was 10 00. Get home. Save your shows because you cant cheat and, you know, and watch it without your husband. What about the shows he doesnt want to watch . Thats true. The bachelor. Yeah. Thas just me. My bad. Shes out of town. You watch your series of Bradley Cooper films. Come on. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So theres a video making the rounds online this morning. It is from 2012. Picking up steam today.

So there is a new study out, and it claims, now think about this in your own life, people demote old friends when they get new ones. Do you feel like sometimes your new friends youve got to have friends no. Wasnt a friend to begin with. Thats what i think. Ive got some friends that ive had for 50 years. And i think what trumps people is time and accessibility. It is not the love of a friend. I got to the point where i thought i have no time for any i dont have time for the friends i have. Certainly dont have time to make new ones and then i met you, hodi and then i realized there was room in my heart for lots of friends. But i spend more time with you than i do many of my older friends because of accessibility. Exactly. I like you. I think ive kept my same core group of friends. I wish i liked them. It would be so much easier. Theyre awesome. I know my place. Youre in the group. I know. But im in the im in the pecking order. Im way back no, youre not. Way back. No, youre not. Thats all right. I know my place. There is a great in the new york time stimes, the social q this is the question. She went to a restaurant, she had a reservation, shes standing with the maitre d and somebody sitting at their table, the bill is on the table, but they havent left the table yet. They are lingering. Right. So the question is loitering, except youre aloud. Youre standing there, they have the bill and what are they doing. Theyre talking. More coffee, your bill is here, our reservation was ten minutes ago and here we stand. The question is, philip said it is the restaurants responsibility to make both parties happy. Wow. Thats not easy. Should you say as a manager of a restaurant or a waiter, do you think should you say, should you rush them along after the bill comes . This happened to us the other day. We were in florida where we had a place for years and years and years and one of the few gorgeous days and we were lingering at a table near the water. We were having a wonderful time and but because they know us and know we would not want people to be waiting, the manager came up and said, would you move to a smaller table because we have a big party. Im always happy to do that. I think if the staff doesnt know you, and youre new to the restaurant, you have to wait and let somebody finish their meal. I think you do too. And i usually dont do you hang around often after your bill comes . It depends how much if we need a nap. We dont go out to dinner that much. Sometimes we linger. With regis and joy, we can go on and on and on. But most of the time, i dont like people so much, im anxious to get home. I hate when you have a reservation and youre standing there and it is time for it, and if youre late, they say, youre late for your reservation, if you show up ten minutes late. They say reservations are just approximations. You got to read the fine print, i guess. So who has time to do that . I dont know. We would love to hear what you all think. Thats why god made facebook so you could tell us and we could vent and put and connect and all that. London has come up there is a new concept in london called the pay per minute cafe. Here is the deal. They will give you coffee for free, they will give you, i guess some snacks for free. Treats. All you have to do is pay a nickel for every minute youre sitting at the table. It is an interesting concept. I first read it, i thought how in the world can they make any money at all. But there say problem with those kinds of cafes where people plug in their phones, they plug in their computers and it is their office. And then somebody wants to come in and check their emails and have a little latte are out of luck. So apparently it is very, very successful. Its slogan is everything is free except the time you spend there. Lets do the math. A clock face in russian. It is a very successful chain in russia. It is working in other places. It is working in other places, yes. An hour is about 3. Wait, lets make sure thats right. 5 cents. 5 times 60 is is a lot. Why did we say about 3 . It is exactly 3. But, i mean, you have to wonder the snacks, what is it some peanuts . Cant be good snacks. Cant be. They have a microwave, bring your own food and it sounds a little shady. Bring your own stuff. More and more like a dorm, you know . And thats where swine flu starts, swine flu and slime flu. It started in codys dorm, his apartment at usc and went all over the world from there. Ive never seen anything like it in my life. Time for friday funny. This jokes on me. This is the first time ive seen it. I know. Yes. I like it. Lets see if i can do it. A woman driving i cant. A woman driving a car panicked in a snowstorm. She started to get disoriented so she pulled over and tried to just calm down. Calm down. She remembered her dad once told her, if you ever find yourself in a blizzard, just wait for a snowplow to come by and follow it back to a safe place. Smart. Sure enough, a snowplow came by and she followed it. She drove behind the plow for about 45 minutes, tailing his every move, perfectly, perfectly, finally the driver of the plow got out and asked her what she was doing. I cant wait to find out. She explained her daddy told her, if she ever got scared in a snowstorm to follow a plow. The driver nodded and said, well, im done with the walmart parking lot, maam, do you want to follow me over to best buy now . I hate to say it, but i was awesome you read cold copy better than anybody. That was good. I never want to see them again. Thats fun. Should we start that . It is better. It is like most of the show.

Here to help turn those winter blues into a season of cheer, really, is psychiatrist mary ann chi. Am i pronouncing it right . Absolutely right. New york director for the medical center. You hear anecdotally about people who suffer from this. We did this today. Com survey and our results said 82 said yes, they are affected by this type of year, only 18 said no. Were talking about a scientific thing. A chemical thing . There are a lot of factors that can contribute. You hit the nail on the head, the darker colder days of winter, longer days of winter. Recordbreaking cold days were having, and shorter days of sunshine, so there is different phenomenon going on. There is serious depression, some People Struggle with, maybe less seasonal, there is seasonal affect disorder. Which i have in spades. And not surprisingly, so many people, particularly now, are saying, yes, i am feeling blue. Im feeling the post holiday we started saying you need something to look forward to, you look forward to christmas, new years and then long lull. Groundhogs day. Nothing going on. Is that part of it . Absolutely part of it. There is also more isolation after the holidays. You have this blitzkrieg of holidays from october through early january, and a lot of people are really connected face to face. Then they lose that. So it is really important to plan to be around people, to incorporate activities and things you can look forward to, where you are connecting real time, face to face with people around like the super bowl. Super bowl, valentines day, or even simple things like starting a book club, having dinner parties once a month or even every few weeks, planning little trips, maybe places you wouldnt normally friends, really great ways to stay connected and have something to look forward to. I found something as simple as putting Fresh Flowers in your house can lift your spirits. Little things. This is the other important thing, on a day to day basis, what can you do to brighten that day, to bring the gloom of the outside not into your home. What can we do, doctor . Youre the psychiatrist. Im the psychiatrist. I think a hot bath is a great thing to do. The warming of the soul, gives you kind of a moment to treat yourself, it doesnt cost a whole lot of money, it is a simple activity, sometimes just making yourself a nice cup of hot tea and giving yourself that moment to step back and say this is where i am. Sometimes people need to Pay Attention to someone who has it worse than they do. Whenever im in a funk, you can walk by someone on the street and go, oh, my god, it reminds you, kind of stop the whining portion of the program. Perspective. A whole lot of perspective. We lose that. Is some of it all wrapped up in all the expectations people have about the holidays. Absolutely. Why do we set ourselves up for failure like this . This is going to be the best christmas ever. I cant wait until new years eve and then it is never what we concoct in our mind it to be. Anticipation and expectations can save you or kill you. A lot of it is about the attitude and post holidays, just forgive yourself. Its okay. Maybe it didnt work out the way you wanted it to, but there is always the next holiday and what can you do to make things a little better right now. Is there any more room on your couch . I like you.

It is time to get the other view on dating and relationships. Here to get inside your mans head and tell you what hes really thinking is relationship expert and host of i heart radio matthew hussey. Who else would it be . Thats the name of the show. We love him, though. We do. Donna has a question. Im ready. When a guy crush pronounces you to others as the nicest person hes ever met and loves you from the bottom of his heart, have you been placed in the nonromantic friend zone . Youre like deep in the friend zone. How would a man like drowning in the friend zone. No way out after that . No guy, if hes comfortable enough to say that, if he liked you, he would be certainly comfortable to say that, you know, say im into you or i find you sexy or something. But to say that really indicates youre in the friend zone. Here is her biggest problem is when he says that, if shes a nice person, which i suspect she is, thats kind of part of her identity, when he says shes the nicest person ive ever met, shell take that as validation to keep being nice. But she needs to stop being so nice. Spend a day being bossy. Spend a day teasing him. Spend a day peppering your everyday language with more sexual language instead of saying he looks nice tonight, say you look sexy tonight. As soon as she starts doing that, he wont put her in that role anymore. Maybe he just isnt attracted to her. Maybe. Or maybe shes not with everyone and everyone thinks shes just nice. Thats the big danger when youre too nice, everyone can think youre too nice. Youre nice, hodi. You can be nice and tease someone. Right. We call that a unique pairing. You find two qualities that seem opposing in the same person. But what i say to her, we create a guide that helps people break their normal patterns in the new year. If she has a pattern of being too nice, we can fix that, we have a guide called the six short cuts to love in 2014. You can find out on your website, actually. I like the way he says pattern. You skip a lot of letters. Debbie in her 50s asks this. There is a guy at my gym ive been conversing with over the past two months. Do you think it is okay to ask him if he would like to get together. Im a bit old school and would prefer for him to ask me out. Im also not sure about how to go about doing it. What would you suggest . You got to start taking action. If you keep being old school, youre going to be really old school by the time you find someone. Yeah. If she wants to ask him out, there is a way to do it. She says, go for a hike or Something Like that with him. Youre at the gym anyway, do something sporty, something hell be part of and say, you know what, im going hiking this wednesday, you should come. If you have time, you should come. Shes not putting a question mark on the end of it, question marks people less sexy. You put a question mark on something, it is like youre inviting doubt. Youre asking them do you want to come. If you say, im going hiking on wednesday, you should come, the only question i have to ask is whether they can, not whether they want to. That way if he doesnt like her, he wont take her up on it. If he does, he will. No risk of rejection because she never asked in the first place. It wont be awkward the next week at the gym. I did that, there was a guy in the gym probably whenever it was a year or so ago and i thought he was cute and i walked up to him and didnt know what to do and i wanted to have a drink after the thing or something. And i said, oh, do you work around here, maybe we can get a drink after and he was with someone and i was humiliated. After that, i never spoke to him, hardly looked at him because i was so embarrassed. Rightly so. If he said im getting a drink late, if youre around, come. There is no possibility of rejection. But she goes to the gym at 5k 5 00 in the morning. Where do you go for a drink . After. I like im sharing my insecurities on this program. Vicki asked this. If i catch my husband lying about small things, does that mean hes likely lying about important things like cheating . I look at this one of two ways. Either shes crazy or he is. I think hes the type of person that is lying about everything, hes too spineless to want to just say certain things that might get him in trouble or shes the type of nightmare woman who makes it difficult to tell the truth ever because she reacts in a dramatic way to everything. That exists too. Sometimes people start lying about Little Things because they go every time i tell some truth about something you overreact. It is easier for me to lie. There is two things. Firstly, tell him that hes in danger of you taking his words less seriously if he keeps lying about those Little Things. I know theyre not the biggest things in the world, but if you keep doing it, i wont take your word for things anymore. But make it easy for him to tell the truth. When he does tell the truth, react in a way that makes it easier for him to tell the truth next time, not harder for him to tell the truth. Thats good. By the way, she jumps straight to cheating as well which is an insecurity there. We got to go, but have you ever had your heart completely broken. I had my heart broken, yes. Why . Why do you ask . Because you have such wisdom for a young man and you seem to have seen something coming and it just it is nice to know youre human too. I absolutely am. Thank you for telling us. We have to go. This is great. Next time. Next time hell tell us about his heart break. If you have a relationship question for matthew, go to klgandhoda. Com, hit the connect button.

Kelly, tell us what you want to do to be happy. Hi, guys. Well, i wanted to get healthy in 2014. I have a big family, i have a lot of responsibilities. I just wanted to be more healthy for my children and for my husband and my life. Im going to school to be a Nurse Practitioner and i want to be a good example to my patients and to live a healthy and happy life. You need to be a good example of that. So what should she do . Life gets in the way, doesnt it . We all have a lot of obstacles, a lot of buts, i want to be healthier but, the key is to kick your but and get a bigger why. Why you want to do it is bigger than your but, youll make the change. With kelly, she wants to be a good example for her kids, for her paretients, think how it affects her physical health and her emotional health. Concentrate on that. Concentrate on your why, it makes your but smaller. I like that. We often do say that, what i would do, i want to balance everything, except for one thing, i have my kids and i have to take care of them, i would work out but i cant. I this i that does the problem gets in the way. It does. It is not that the problem isnt there, but you focus on your why, make that bigger and focus on what is this going to do for me, that will get you back on track. Okay. A comment on our Facebook Page was interesting. One woman said her biggest obstacle was im never able to make decisions for myself, even little stuff. So heres the thing. When we have that label of im indecisive, guess what, shes indecisive. First thing i would do is change her label. Change your label. What do you say to yourself, if you could stick a microphone in your brain, what would you hear yourself saying to yourself . What makes you indecisive . Fear. Fear, should it be this, should it be that. Fear of making a mistake. Just go with it. How do you tell yourself just to go with it. Fear is a very real thing to people. The best way to overcome fear, face it, yeah. You dont have to be perfect. I think were such a perfectionistic society, it has to be the perfect decision. Make a decision, go with it, if it doesnt work out for you, make a change later. I think baby steps are the best way. It is easy to get discouraged, you tried something, it didnt work, you dont want to do it again. So many of our joy fit people who come on after they lost 100 pounds, it started with one step. One day. And then yeah. Be merciful to yourself. Forgive yourself, absolutely. We forgive ourselves. The best book to read for changing your life, thank you so much. First this is today on nbc. If you made a commitment to change your life in 2014, but youre just not sure where to begin, there are a lot of books out on the market right now. Which one is right for you . Psychologist and author of your next big thing ben michaels recently blogged about some of his favorites for the huffington post. You have your greatest hits on the table. Start with the first one and tell us why you like it. Absolutely the element is a fabulous book. It gets at what is that passion that you have, that one thing that when youre doing it, time seems to flow and you dont even notice it. It is such a wonderful thing and it can encourages you to spend a little time every day doing that one thing that gives you joy. I like that. So smart. The drive is the next one. Daniel pink talks about the fact that money is not a great motivator. Things like purpose, and passion, these are the things that truly motivate us. And in fact, sometimes you pay people for a task, they become less motivated to do it. Finding that one core thing allows you to push forward when days are tough. And many people with the most money have the least happy people that ive ever met sometimes. People should understand that doesnt automatically give you happiness. What is number three . Four hour workweek, i like it. Only one hour a day, so sort of like four hours. What i love about this book, tim ferris breaks things down into the simple components, things you can do to make time more efficient. For example, using email to like a game, trying to get your emails done really, really quickly, or trying to use hoot suite to get your social media done at the same time. Tools he gives you in the book to make your time more effective. And then what do you do with the time you have left . Relax. Have a drink, like you guys. I think there is something about having a deadline and knowing it has to be done by sometimes i play that game with myself. Like, it might sound stupid, well order dinner in, it will be here in 40 minutes n 40 minutes, ill see if i can get this done, this done, this done by the time the person comes. Who is we . Anyway, so sorry, everybody. Trying to get some tidbits. Last one is return to love. This is my favorite. In this book, Marion Williamson takes faith and puts it front and center in your life. Your life is defined by what you believe in and what gives you meaning and in this book, she really takes faith and shows you that if you define what that is, define what your values are, you can live a really rich life full of love. I dont think it is possible to be truly, truly at peace in your life without examining that one aspect of your existence, which is your spirit as well. Without faith, there is no life. I like him. Me too. Your last one . The last one is a classic the 7 habits of highly effective people. This one, steven covey breaks things down to what you should be doing with your time, to give you meaning, and purpose with your life. It is not about how much money you make, but how much meaning you make in your life. Thanks. Those are all good. I like him. Hes a beautiful spirit, hodi. Thanks. Thanks very much.
