Call hr. Were sorry, akin akman. Anyway, so well be with you in a little bit. Well check back in with him. Hell show us moves of the day that somehow will work the abs. He claims even if were sitting here at the desk working, there is a way to work our abs. What do we do . You have to squeeze in your belly button into the spine and were going to do that for the whole hour. Were not, but were definitely not, akin akman. Wow, that turned america on. Okay. Thank you. All right. Big, big sunday night coming up. A lot of our pals out there waiting to cover the Golden Globes. This sunday night on nbc. Yeah, theyre hosted by tina fey and amy poehler. Going to be so good. I cant wait. Were going to play a Golden Globes trivia game with tim stack and we felt lonely. We didnt want it to be the two of us. We have chosen two people from our studio audience. How about those two . Okay. You two. You two. Theyre going to come in and be with us when tim is here. And we have our votes, right . We voted for we decided we would pick in four categories. I havent seen most of these movies. Im at a disadvantage. This is a guess of what we think is going to win, right, hoda, not what we loved. What we think is going to love. Since we dont trust Anyone Around here, well put them in this velvet case. I trust you. I do too. You know who is going to take this for us and put it under lock and key . Alex. Please come out. Alex put on a suit today. Alex looks like the guy from 30 rock, doesnt he . He does. Alex, my dear, keep it under lock and dear. I will not take my eyes off of it. Of course you wont. Thank you, alex. Anyway nothing alex cant do. Yes, indeed. 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 times, 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 knous 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.

As stressful as the Holiday Season might be and im still not over it, it gives us something to focus on and celebrate. January comes and off all that shopping and cleaning and cooking and partying, there is nothing to plan for. Between that and long, dark days, dark, and long, it is no wonder many of us arent fans of this time of the year. 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 go with your 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 you
