Please, please. I know. Exactly. I want to go on record first saying im so jet lagged and in a fog. Well, you just came off vacation i want to apologize for you having to carry the entire show. Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. So i did get back from this long flight. I went to for the holidays, i ended up going with my sister halfway around the world to a place called the maldives. Do you know where it is on the map . Its in the indian ocean. Look at us. Terrible hair. Aw. But still it was a beautiful, great time. Thats my sister hala. You have to fly to dubai, thats 14 or 12 hours. Then you have a sixhour layover. And then you excuse me, is that you in the bikini . Yes. You look fantastic. Oh, thats you look so lovely, you do. Anyway, so we spent a few days in the sun, and while i was there my mom is the one whos celebrating. Its new years. Thats me calling her. By the way, on new years eve my sister, my brother, and i were all tucked in dead asleep, and the only person partying was her oh, my god. Shes got it. You know what i did new years eve . Tell me. We had a party. It was supposed to be like five or six people. It ended up being 30 people. Okay. 6 30. Coming at 7 00. 6 30, we have a fireplace in our family room. Big stone fireplace. I go to put on the fire. Now, we leave our flue open all winter long. What is a flue . You dont know where the flue is . The smoke goes up. Okay. So we leave it open all winter long because we have fired pretty much every day. I light the fire and use one of those starter logs, which they are very powerful, they can be dangerous. Okay. Suddenly the house starts filling with smoke. The fireplace is now totally blocked. The flue was defective and it shut down. It was the most all kidding aside, i was hysterical. Richards just sitting in his chair doing nothing. I dont know if he was drunk, just like looking, what smoke . The house is black. Is black. And fortunately, i had a friend over whos a volunteer fireman. He was trying to jerryrig it. We were trying to put the logs in tinfoil and rush them outside. Did your house stink when the guests came . Everybody said it smelled like a cabin, but its a warning to people. Even if you think your flue is open, every time you start a fire you should check your flue. What were you drinking that night . Oh, my gosh. [ siren ] well, first of all, i was traumatized because thats very funny. You know what . Thats so wrong. We almost burnt down my home. But i got over it quickly, because i was given a couple of cosmos, which i hadnt had in the longest time. I love cosmos. And what do you do at your parties . What happens . Do you guys play games . Apparently we played charades. And i was very good. I dont remember that part. We always play charades. Okay. And we had i had met this group of these young guys out in jersey who perform. And i said im going to get a little group, which didnt even make sense because the living room is not even connected to where everybody was sitting. They were by themselves, no, we went and listened to them. And that was really nice. We had a little music. I love that. Just friends coming over. It was lovely. You know the thing i was talking to meredith a couple days ago and you were talking about your addiction. We all have a tv show were addicted to. I know the holidays are when people catch up on tv and stuff. Yours was or homeland. Its like a weird, crazy, cracky thing with you. Oh, yeah. What happened . No, i didnt i dont watch television, you know, like Appointment Television because i dont want to miss something. Anyway, my friend got me the first season of homeland. And she said, you have to watch this. So i watched it. And you do get addicted. You dont watch it . I dont watch it. Its unbelievable. Is it . Yeah. Its great. Okay. But i dont like to be revved up when i go to sleep. Does it make you all revved up . What do you mean by revved up . Its not a sexual thing. Its what are you talking about . What are you revved up . When your hearts pounding because its got drama and yeah. But then you can let it go, hoda, because its a tv show. Okay . You just let it go. No, what happened was, so then i decided, okay, i dont have showtime, im not buying showtime, thats ridiculous. Youre tight. I am. Then the Second Season starts, and im at home, just sitting there and im saying no way im going to get showtime. Ill see it, like you know when you see it. Yeah, exactly, when it comes out on dvd. And around 9 00, the show comes on at 10 00, i am shaking. Im shaking, and i call showtime. I see the number. And i say i need showtime. The lady goes okay. I say no, now i need it now. She thought i was crazy. Then there was a pause and she laughed and said is this about homeland . I said, yes. Oh, my god. I watch it. I have to watch it on the night, you know, the first night. My mustwatch now, i dont know if you have seen this one, downton abbey. I never know how to spell it. Its not like downtown. Just saying, its downton. Downton.

Youre in or not in . Totally in. Yeah. Thats pbs, though, right . Yeah. Thats like a normal station. You dont have to pay for that. But you know what . There was an article just on that, downton abbey, and it said spoiler alert, and i should never have read it and i read it. Now i know whats happened and its ruined the whole thing. You want me to tell you . No, dont tell me. But wait. Do they stay married, the couple . I cant tell you. Okay. Okay. Its not going to be you wont sleep that night. Put it that way. Dont all right. Dont give it away. I would never. You might, because youre weird like that. You might do it. When have i done anything like that . That would be you sometimes blurt inappropriate things out. I do .

And i dont know if its pre60 depression that suddenly i felt that i was maybe approaching a milestone. I dont know. Really . Yeah. Its hard. Thats interesting. And you never, ever, ever have done anything to your face or anything, have you . Asking a question. A woman originally said to me i like you because you really dont give a damn. I thought, what does that mean . You know, you obviously dont care about your appearance, doesnt matter to you. I havent done a thing. No, because youre natural.

Its hard to get a movie made. Its very hard. Its expensive. Okay. So whats the one, the single this is a documentary, the woman who wasnt there. Its a documentary, the woman who wasnt there. Youre looking at this woman, tanya head, she was the face of the survivors network, you know, the trade towers, people who survived the attack. Oh, i remember. And she really became their voice. She was in the tower, she escaped, her fiance did not. She tells a very compelling story. Turns out, she made it all up. Oh, my gosh. The New York Times did a profile on her and discovered she made everything up, she was never in the towers, shes not a survivor, she wasnt even in this country. Wow. And so the betrayal to all the survivors who trusted her and who love her and even have mixed feelings to this day because she did give them a voice. What was her explanation . We dont know. We dont know. She disappeared right after the documentary was made. Actually, i think she went back to spain. Her new employer found out about it, i think she was fired from that job, but nobody really knows where she is. Oh, my gosh. Shes a brilliant woman, but what provoked her. She loved america. We knew that. As a kid growing up. Maybe the spotlight . Did she like that . I dont know. Probably. So there was a beautiful well, i guess were over that one. That ones done. Were over.

Shes ready to hand out 100 bucks to those who get the answers right and those who dont get kathie lees cd. Lucky them. Joining me, chief historian at the history channel. Nice to have you. Nice to be back. You ready . Im ready. All right, meredith, take it away. Okay, whats your name, hon . Dora. Where are you from . Orlando, florida dora. All right, dora, what is someone insinuating when they say when pigs fly . It will never happen. Yeah it will never happen. Shes right do i give her this . Well, when pigs fly comes from an agricultural expression. People didnt know any think about a pig. Its the last thing that could fly. So its like you go into the office, say im going to win at the lottery today. And your colleagues say, when pigs fly. By the way, theres a great geico commercial out with pigs flying. Its hysterical. Back across to meredith. Next we have emily from ft. Lauderdale, florida. Okay, emily. True or false, emily, the phrase break a leg originated in the theater industry due to somebody actually breaking their leg on Opening Night . Is that true . [ buzzer ] oh, the answer is false. Thats false. But you get a Kathie Lee Gifford album, cd. She looks happy, kind of. So the origins of that, you know, theater people are a little superstitious and they think if you wish them good luck right out in the open it will jinx them. So you Say Something opposite. You say break a leg and that will bring them good luck. All right, back across to Meredith Vieira, the host of who wants to be a millionaire. Thank you very much for pointing that out. I assume youre from florida. Im not. Im from illinois. Oh. Okay. Whats your name . Kirby. Kirby. I like that name. All right, kirby. What does it mean when you want to bury the hatchet with someone . A, plan to deceive another person. B, bury hatchets in the ground. C, to make peace with someone. D, ask someone about their thoughts . C, make peace with someone. Yes, yes indeed. Thats true. Thats putting it away. Its absolutely true, and it has a wonderful history. When American Indian tribes got together and sought peace between the two of them, they would literally bury the hatchets. Theyd put their weapons under the soil to show they no longer needed weapons. Its one of our few phrases that comes from the American Indians. Very nice. Back across to meredith. Your name . Ashley. Ashley from . Phoenix, arizona. Phoenix, arizona. All right. [ applause ] thats lovely, people here are so pleasant. True or false, the origin of the phrase barking up the wrong tree comes from hunting dogs barking at the bottom of trees where they mistakenly think their prey is hiding . False. [ buzzer ] oh. Look at her cringing over the cd. You got the cd whoo somebodys cheering. All right. So the answers true there. Well, its true. Its an old hunting metaphor, and lets say the raccoon goes up one tree but the dogs are barking up another tree, they are barking up the wrong tree. Okay. Theyve made a mistake. Theyve gone the wrong direction. We have one more. Time for one more, mer. Its hard coordinating all this. Your name . Cann candice. Candice from . Prosser, washington. Lovely. How did the saying beat around the bush originate. Shy young lovers would chase each other around bushes, in bird hunts participants beat the bushes enabling others to catch the birds in nests, farmers would beat bushes to ensure good harvest, or the origin is unknown to this day . D. [ buzzer ] no indeed. A good day for kathie lee. Another cd. The correct answer is b, the bird hunt participants. Yeah. They would go into the fields. The birds would be hiding under the shrubs and in the tall grasses. And they would go and beat around them and the birds would fly up into nets or people would take aim and shoot them. Oh. And it means stop, you know, going into all this activity that leads to nothing, go straight to your point. Thats why we use it. Thank you for coming on again with us. Always so much fun. Happy new year. Meredith is going to come back. If you want to lose a few pounds, maybe your new years resolution, were going to take a look at some of the hottest diet books after these messages. Look at that. But thanks to hotwire, this year we got to take an extra trip. Because they get us ridiculously low prices on really nice hotels and car rentals. So we hit boston in the spring even caught a game. And with the money we saved, we took a trip to san francisco. You see, hotwire checks the competitions rates every day so they can guarantee their low prices. So, where to next . How about there . Hotwire. Hotwire. Com thats why i take new trubiotics. Its a daily probiotic that helps in two ways. One helps support digestive health, the other immune health. Stay true to your health. New trubiotics. From the makers of oneaday. We all know this, losing weight is one of the most popular new years resolutions, and everyone is always looking for a new way to shed pounds. Yes. Dont look at me that way. Today were looking at two new diet plans that keep new check by counting. David zazinko is the author of the 8 hour diet. And j. J. Is the author of the virgin diet. Thats catchy. David, lets start with you for a second. The eighthour diet concept is eat all you want in the course of eight hours . Yeah. But what you should really be doing is taking the calories you would normally eat in a day and putting it in an eighthour window. If you do that, youll lose massive amounts of weight, and youll get on a path to better health. Why . Because you are giving youre feasting for eight hours and youre fasting for 16 hours. Your body nature didnt intend us to eat for 18 hours a day. And thats what were doing. Were grazing throughout the whole day. Three meals, three snacks, or six meals. So the whole idea is give it a chance to clear the toxins, process the food, and if you do that what youre going to find is that losing weight is pretty effortless. And youll see your Health Profile improve dramatically. Youre saying eat anything you want. I did segments, eat this, not that. And you were specific about not eating anything you want so you could load up on thousands and thousands of calories in eight hours p. The good news is, if you want to eat pizza and burgers, ice cream and wine and chocolate, you can have a 400calorie burger instead of 2,000calorie burger, which is a very eat this, not thatlike notion. So if you do that and youre doing these things in your eighthour window, whether thats 10 00 to 6 00, 12 00 to 8 00, whatever it is, youre going to turbo charge your weight loss. Lets go to j. J. s book. You have something different. You said there are foods that we are sensitive to, we dont digest well, and if we would just get those out of our diet the weight would fall off. Its dramatic what happens. Its really clear, i think to you too, that weve been following the wrong set of rules, that this isnt a calories in, calories out rules. Our bodys not a bank account. Its a chemistry lab. And food is information. I found over the years working with doctors, doing testing there are seven key needle mover foods that most people are intolerant to. When we pulled them out and swapped them for foods that were similar but often tasted better list some of the things. So people know what youre talking about. What are the seven . Gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, soy, peanuts, and sugars and artificial sweeteners. I put them together. But you know what . Ive got to tell you, thats good. Because if people are listening going thats everything im eating, youre going to have huge dramatic results. The average weight loss i see is seven pounds in the first seven days. But is that seven pounds of fat . I dont believe you can lose some of that is inflammation. Youre creating massive inflammation by eating these foods and start to crave these foods that are hurting you. When you pull them out the first three days are rough ill tell you because youre craving the foods. But after that people come in for the weight loss but they stay because they feel better. Do you try each others diets . Just out of curiosity. I think the good thing about the eighthour diet is you can combine it with anything. You can combine it with the virgin diet. Or the eighthour virgin. Or the promiscuity diet, if thats your thing. Okay. Its restrictive. I mean, yours you can only have the eight hours but they are not deprivation by nature. The average diet is a deprivation diet. And if you look at what were telling you im going to say hey, you know, instead of soy milk have coconut milk. Youll probably like it better. Its not depravation. By the way, when you eat as well as what you eat matters. I totally agree, snacking all day long makes us i cut dairy out because i always felt terrible afterward. I have to tell you i ended up losing weight not even meaning to because i always felt crummy and sluggish and icky. That was one of my major intolerant too. I kicked it out. We need to connect the dots between what were eating, how were feeling, what we weigh. We wish both you guys great luck on your super diets. Youre good advertisements. Were ready, were ready. Coming out this fall. Thanks, kids. You want all eyes on you when you walk down the aisle . Wedding gowns that wont break the bank. Right after this. Oh, my gosh, i love these twins good morning.

How are you . Thanks for having me here, especially with all the dogs that need homes. Exactly. So many people, this is their christmas present. Youre going to give us pointers. If youre thinking of getting a dog, a puppy is the most labor intensive. If youre a firsttime dog owner, dont get a puppy. They need to be taught and you need to be taught how to handle them. The first thing you do with puppy socialization is come out and bring them from person to person, right . So they dont get used to just being in your home with people. And when you hand them off to someone, hand them off like that. With the rear in the hand . Rear first. Not face first because thats really friepting to dogs. Oh. And not just with people but can we put lavinia down . Yes. Theyve got to meet other dogs, too, when theyre a puppy. Is she a puppy too . No, shes full grown. You want your puppy to meet an adult dog. They are playing, yeah. There you go. Good girl. You want your dog to meet a dog that isnt going to be aggressive. Vinny, come here. Come here, girl. Okay, then lets go right to hand them back. Rear first. Rear first. Once you get your puppy out socializing with people and dogs, you start training. The first thing you do is teach them how to walk on a leash. Today we have sophie, and sophie is a yearold dog who comes from south carolina. She was abandoned. And you can see shes kind of wild. Yeah. So the first thing you do is teach them to walk on a leash. Thats called heeling. Lavinia. Did you catch her . I did. Hoda. Take a treat, have them on your left side. Hold the leash next to your side. Okay. Pay attention. Im trying. Im trying. Walk in a circle. See how shes trying to jump around and im using the leash to control her . Holding that tight. Yeah. Im holding on pretty tight. Good girl. Having the leash connected to your dog, showing them how to walk is the easiest way to show
