I thought it only appropriate that on our first show back, that jacket the Michael Phelps jacket, i got you a replica. Can we please bring kate in . Heres the music. Okay. Dim the lights. Tada. Look at that, turn around. It lights up. I saw that. Wow. Kate is wearing your replica of the exact Michael Phelps jacket. Batteryoperated. Thats convenient. Where are you going to wear this . I dont know. Probably some ralph lauren jeans like you are. I thought it was going to be Michael Phelps coming. We have kate and the jacket. Im thrilled. Thank you, kate. Leave it isnt that cute . Its adorable. We had a big flood when we were away. Our dressing room got flooded. We get new shoes. I walked in. And my dressing room looked better than it usually does. They said, whatever was on the floor is byebye. Heres the thing. You know what did survive the flood . We shouldnt laugh about big with loading and everything going on in louisiana. The pair of shoes you had for nine years, since we started working together, they survived the flood. We want to say welcome, officially, to billy bush. Of course. I hope you watched in the earlier hour. It was moving and touching. And by the way, watching his mom and dad. Weve loved him for a long time. But something about watching his folks. So real. And watching how much he loved his parents. Hes joined the nine. We have a party today, too. A great show. Youre having a little todays buzz withdraw, were going to get that taken care of. Any of the gossip you want, including a proposal to Miranda Lambert. And Kellie Pickler is here. Her and her husband have that reality show about the country couple and their antics. Were going to take some questions, too. And theres time to squeeze in one last vacation over labor day. Affordable getaways across the country. And from grade school to adulthood, we have to deal with rejection from timetotime. We do. We all have. And we got some advice to help you cope. That is awesome. Lets start with you in rio, baby. Heres whats cool. Our today show set was on the beach. The hotel was right near the set. You wake up in the morning, go to the set. Your toes were in the sand and you interviewed happy people, all these great olympians that had won all kinds of stuff. We had a lot of fun with the group. Everyone was asking about you. Everywhere i went. Where is kathie lee . Is kathy lee here . Is she at the other stadium . Shes not here. Shes not there. She doesnt travel well. No, no. It was great, huh . Yeah. We have fun pictures of the whole posse. Thats us at christ the redemer. So cloudy and overcast. Except for one moment where the clouds lifted and it was gorgeous. We did some trips. Went to sugar loaf. By the way, that was a game called speedo. It was called beach volley. Foot volley. Somehow, it didnt matter what it was called. You couldnt get matt into it . Oh, my god, im wearing the same dress. Nobody would have noticed if you hadnt said. My favorite moment of the whole thing was these finals, the final they called themselves the final five. I was interviewing simone. And she said her big crush was zac efron. I said look at the camera and say for zac efron. I wish you would come here. And she said, if he were to come, i would need a defibrillator. We smuggled him in. Brought him next to the place i was going to interview thoses after they won the gold. They walk in, the girls. They were like, hey. Were laughing and hugging. And i open up the door and look who is standing there. Oh, my gosh. Laurie went up first. And simone couldnt handle it. And by the way, she kept saying it was like her best day. She passed out. And the stage is set. Wow. He was such a great guy and a great sport. And i didnt realize hes popular everywhere. But you said down there, hes got a clothing line thats insane. Hes like ricky martin. Yes. He was trying to advertise. He was trying to go to a stadium and there were riots. He tried to go to a mall. They couldnt get him in the mall, it was so jammed. Oh, wow. He was by the way, the final five, all five of them who want to meet you, are here tomorrow. Oh, good. Look forward to that. And my favorite my favorite was when abbe dagostino fell during the womens 500. And the runner from new zealand falls. You know theyre not going to medal. Dagostino picks up the girl from new zealand and they start running. Dagosti dagostino, a tore meniscus. And this girl helps her up again. Bless her. And she finished the race. All of the medalists were there. And they were so fun. I said specifically, ill never forget you. When you give your graduation speech, thats the story youre going to tell. Not the story of the gold, the silver, the bronze. Remind you of why youre down there. We hear about the bad behavior. And you hear about the good behavior. And it restores your faith. Rio was amazing. With all of the hoopla. They were gracious. It was a blast. The u. S. Did well. I thought brazil brought it. And brazil reminds me of new orleans. Do you like us . Is the food good . You having fun . Like the insecure friend. It was just fun to watch it. They were going through tough times and still going through them. We have an olympian in training. Who . In my house. I spent necessary time, which i never really took after frank passed. Its been a year since he passed. And i just want to be quiet and be my loved ones. And so, i got my wish. This is my olympian, schecky, in training on my yard. He had never been willing to walk on the grass before. You never know whats going to happen. His great grandfather was the fastest runner in maryland when he was 14. Go, schecky, go. Anyway, i was in heaven. How cute is he, by the way . Cody and cass came for my birthday. Happy birthday, by the way. It was a super birthday. The today show did a big thing on the website about my birthday. And kathie turning 62. They took a year off for me. I was thrilled. Apparently john oliver had fun with his Opening Ceremony thing. Another highlight for hoda, hosting the Opening Ceremony. See what he had to say. A buildup to the rio games has been turbulent, with brazil experiencing massive recession, protest in the streets and a zika outbreak. On friday, nbc urged us to forget all that and focus on the Opening Ceremony. They are ready for tonight, to put the headlines aside, and hit the reset button and throw one massive party. Did somebody said party . Oh, no. Oh, no. Hoda got into the caparhina supply. Watch yourself, she gets grabby. She didnt know what was coming. Oh, no. By the way, this is one of our favorite moments of the day today. Its called puppy love. Yes. We have a new puppy at the today show. We have new vet dogs to raise a service dog for military veterans. Hes 8 weeks. So beautiful. And were going to help decide his name, right . Yes. Give him a name. You want to come to auntie kathie. Lick me with your puppy tongue. Do it. Oh, i grabbed something else. This little guy hi. This puppy is olivia and shes going to be in the studio with us. Welcome. Thank you. We want you to vote on his name. Militaryinspired. Heres the choices. Go to today. Com. Soarge, charlie, or ace. I put my vote in for sarge. I dont care. The audio guys are going crazy. And tomorrow, we have our puppy. And we have his name. Youre going to be with us, every day . Yes. This puppy will come in with me in the mornings. And then, come home with me in the evenings, a normal puppy life at home. And will get to learn the ropes. And then, he will be trained to be with one of our brave men. Yes. That is amazing. Thats very, very special. He just fell asleep. Oh, goodness. Its a party. Does he have play dates at peoples houses . Anytime. He can play with lola. Wouldnt that be fun . Blake wouldnt like him. We have to go. Thank you, olivia.

You must be excited as an avid fan. You didnt like the fifth one. The rock posted an instagram thanking a lot of members of the cast. But leaving one person out. He mentioned the cast but not vin diesel. Why . This harkins back to maybe earlier this month, where he posted another long rant about how some people dont conduct themselves well. Some people conduct themselves as standup men and true professionals, and others dont. In some scenes, hes not acting and his blood is boiling. There was a belief that the two of them he was complaining that he was late and right. And showing disrespect to the other actors. We dont know what happened. Who knows . Maybe its nothing. The rock is very hes an upstanding guy. I dont know anything about vin diesel. At all. No. Every time ive been with the rock great guy. Hes a great guy. Theres two sides. We dont know what happened.
