Its a great day to be alive and in america, monday, july fourth, everybody. Happy Independence Day. Necessary the United States air force band ceremonial Brass Quintet. They are celebrating their 70th anniversary stationed at a base in anacostia. They are scheduled to be at the macys fourth of july fireworks. We are specially grateful to all of the veterans and their family members. We want to thank them so much to their sacrifice and service. We have a great show. We say it every day and usually we dont mean it. We are joined by a true American Hero and hunk. He is adorable. His name is chris van etten, a former marine and a model. We will reveal it to you. Arson is here with some great hair style tricks that will take you straight from the pool or the beach to the party. You know that cool beachy hair people love to get. He is going to work his magic and show you how you can get that too. On three different ladies. Dont forget our favorite things. First, flag cupcakes. Need a good excuse to dig into something sweet. These are from the little cupcake bake shop right here in new york city. Little cupcake bake shop. Com. They also do a beautiful flag cake. Which didnt arrive in good shape, like me on a lot of mornings. We have a question for you. You are going to some fourth of july parties. As a host, maybe you know or dont know these things. Do you like it when the host assigns dishes for you to bring . In other words, they say i say, can i bring something . And they say, yes, you can, bring the veggies. Usually you bring wine or something. What if she needs veggies. This came up in the New York Times social cues column to phil. S when they ask, she says just bring yourself and the husband disagrees and says, you should assign a dish. Say you are known for your lasagna and Everybody Loves your lasagna. You say, can i bring something . You say, Everybody Loves your lasagna, would you like to bring that . Not you, hoda. My mom makes a great baklava, it makes a lot of time. My mom is like, i need to chunk out four hours before the party to make the baklava. Dont ask. Philip says, guests should not be expected to bring anything. If they do, insist it should be wine or dessert. Asking them to blanche blockry seems too far. If they volunteer, absolutely splchlt dw we a. We are going to gross you out z when you go to a party, do ufr take a chip, dip in a bite and take the same chip and double dip. A survey says one in four admit to it. I do it. They do on seinfeld too. Take a look. What are you doing . What . Did you just double dip that chip . Excuse me . You double dipped the chip. Double dip . You dipped the chip, you took a bite and you dipped again. So . Thats like putting your whole mouth right in the dip. Not quite but you do have probably a few germs on there. You have to live a little. Would you rather take the whole chip and put globs and globs of stuff on it and eat it. Or waste a whole chip. You do it. I definitely double dip. Onethird of a people admit to drinking out of a glass that may not be there own. I dont do that. Ive done that. Because you are not sure and it is there. Otherwise, you have to go back to the bar. In todays world, you should never drink out of everybody elses. If you have lost track of your own, go get a new one. Finally, 20 of people have committed a spill and run, which is read. Everything else is forgivable. Dont spill and run in somebody elses home. Unless its a rented place. What about a little white wine on a white carpet and no one can really tell. It is still wrong fundamentally. All right. Hoda has done that. Hoda is a trifecta, she has done all three. Have you ever gone to another persons home and done the whoopi in a different room . You meanwhile i was a stayover guest or while i was at a party. I think we have our answer. She did more tran the trifecta. What do you call four . Nobody knows. That survey, by the way, was by the boxed wholesale. We are going to play a game called name the movie president. The actors that played president s in tv shows and films. We are going to listen to a president ial actor and name from the sound of their voice. Some are fiction, some arent. If you want to talk about character. Thats whats his name, gordon gekko. Michael douglas. Your 15 minutes are up. My name is Andrew Shepard and i am the president. Next one . Ill tell you what unprecedented, kent, a tie is unprecedented. Julia louie dreyfus. Becoming president through the back door. Best show in the world. Awesome. Number three. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other. Lincoln. Thats whats his name. Who played abe lincoln. Daniel day lewis. Im on a roll. Not the same kind of roll that hoda was on at the party. Careful, careful. Next. Heroes die but they are. He also plays god, morgan freeman. You are rolling. Is there another one . You know what a tendership does, fixes the other ships. Sheen, whats his name . He goes around and fixes the other ships. Martin sheen. I cant hear it. Hoda got that on the west wing. Is that it. That was 51. All right, 52. A lot of people dont know whether someone is flirting with them. What is wrong with you. Some people think they are just being friendly. We are telling you how you will know for sure if someone is flirting with you. It can take 12 minutes to confirm. 12 minutes. Here are some of the tail tell steps. Number one, here are the steps. You look good. You look really good. You look so pretty. You look really nice. Thats first. Dishing out compliments. Crossing legs is a sign a person is not interested. You fold it up. I dont agree with that. Sometimes your legs look so good you cross them to make them look that good. And you cross them toward the person means that you are into them. If you cross away, it means you are not. They said there is something called palming that means you are jess turring with wall manies up. You look hot, so hot. In 79 minutes, this is how things change. The compliments stop. The men start gazing and the women start difficult vul nlging personal secrets. They are gazing and you are talking about your ex. I was at Gloria Steinems 50th birthday. This guy is standing there just going. You know what i said because it was so rude. Excuse me, those are my breasts, my eyes are up here. What did he do . He kept looking at my breast. What did you do . I dated him. And then what does that mean . Does that mean you have totally flirted it up . Ten to 12 minutes . Cant you pretty much tell immediately. When you get the palm. You look really hot. Your so strong. Men lower their voices while palming. Down to barry white. We know what they are thinking. Coming up, a marine and a mottle. We are going to meet American Hero chris van etten. Our air force band ceremonial Brass Quintet is going to play us out. We so appreciate them.

We are learning to play lacrosse with this incredible guy, marine Corporal Chris van etten. This guy can finish a marathon. Chris is a double amputee during his tour in afghanistan, chris lost both of his leg toss an ied. Christm has made a remarkabl recovery physically because of it. Jockey has chosen chris an everyday hero for a very special campaign called show him whats underneath. Another guy in my squad had stepped on the first ied. I ran over there to help out. We got everything set up. Just as we were about to lift, the guy in my squad thats when i stepped on the second one. Thats what i signed up to do. Im glad that i was able to fight for my country and do something that ive been wanting to do since i was a kid. Not all of us are lucky with the gift of a full life. As long as i have mine, im going to make sure i celebrate it the best i can. You have to keep pushing. You have to keep going against all odds. Things are going to get in your way but whatever you do, never stop showing up. Oh, my god. That is beautiful. It makes me cry. You are one of three that have been featured in the commercials. There is a female firefighter and one other person. It is an adoptive father. How empowering is this. It is empowering for us watching you. How is it from your perspective . Well, since i got injured, i have had this want to help people overcome their obstacles and to be able to do this with jockey and kind of send this great message of positivity and strength has been great. Everything else thats out there in that genre is about sex, isnt it . Look at my fantastic body. We are selling this. I love the whole concept of show them whats underneath. Not only did you lose your legs, you lost a dear friend that day as well . Yeah. The whole squad lost a brother that night. It was something that a lot of us, me included, had to deal with that, the guilt of losing him. Thats the forefront of what i do and what drives me to help meme. Bhil you are still here, you might as well make the best of it. Working out for you is a matter of trying to deal with all you are going to for the time. It was a positive place to take all of that motion. That was my outlet and when i did to make shy semyself feel b not just physically but emotional. L ly. I look at you as a strong, solid guy. How can you help those coming back that are struggling . It is going to be a struggle. I have my bad days where it is hard to face what you have been through. Dont fight it on your own. I had a great support system. I had other Wounded Warrior buddies of mine that would help. Being there to help your friend and them being there to support you is really what makes the difference. The gentleman that found you is a very dear friend of mine, chris clark. He directed the whole thing for jockey. You were so excited. You called me and told me about this young man before i even met him, tell us about that. I loved his positivity. Chris is an example of when you are dealt a tragic circumstance and you can sit there and feel miserable and be the victim. Chris was the opposite of the victim. When i was filming, i didnt do a script. I did questions and wanted to be authentic. One of the questions i will never forget. If you knew now what you did, you were going to be a double amputee, what choice would you make in your career path instead of being a soldier . He looked at me and said, what do you mean . If you knew you were going to lose both legs wharks would you have done instead . It is an honor and a privilege to serve my country, i would do it all again. You chose the right guy. Congratulations to you. You are the sweetest thing. Chris, thank you for the great campaign. It is really awesome. Thank you. Get ready, everybody. We are about to pick our fan of the week.
