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 ag 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, 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. 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 . 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 matteha 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 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 sim 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 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 from new zealand and they start running. Dagostino, a tore meniscus. And this girl helps her up again. Bless her. And she finished the race. All of the medalists were there. 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. 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 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 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. 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. 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.

And no matter who you are or when it happens, theres nothing fun about being rejected. If you were turned down for a job, or romantic interest didnt share your feelings, you have to be prepared. Er rejection, are two women in a are launching a cool thing a video series, lisa, author of uninvited. And shelby crockett, a teenage youtube sensation. Stop it. With over 1 million subscribers. Look at her putting on makeup and everyone clicking on it. This never goes away, this whole thing. You and i went through the same rejection is so painful. Were all dealing with it. Were dealing with past rejection, or dealing with rejection or fearing that rejection is right around the corner. Its how you recover through it. Its what happens to you after that moment, right . Right. How you deal with it. Thats right. And so many times what happens is, somebody speaks a line of rejection. And if that line becomes a lie inside of us, something wrong we believe abou liability in all of our future relationships. It goes from a lie, to a life of its own. Yes. I dont know whats happening right now. You want to stop it before that happens. Exactly. Youre in middle school. And i dont know, you dont get picked for the team. Youre the last one. And youre feeling really rejected. Give us some advice for someone going through that. Well, i personally have experienced that when i was growing up. Chosen. Chosen. And so, i just kind of tried to laugh it off. Yeah. Because you cant really put that more attention on yourself. You should just try to use humor. I do it with humor, yeah. As a parent, we have an opportunity to speak truth into that child in that moment. And really help them understand that rejection, what it is and what it isnt. We have to acknowledge its painful. Yeah. Second of all, dont minimize the pa sure that as parents, we dont get swept up into the drama. And instead, we can tell our child of a story at the time we were rejected. And we have the benefit of time now. Maybe we can say this rejection is a redirection and show some them positive to get out of it. Lets go to high school. Go to high school where it gets really bad. Yeah. Right here. A loft time its romancerelated the hormones are raging. And no one asks you out to the dance. Thats what happened to the girl with frizzy hair and glasses. You do face stuff like that. In the media world, you know all about. As social media for me, im right into it. Especially on youtube. I get negative comments all the time. What do you do . I see it for what it is. A lot of people say things behind a computer screen because theyre not talking to you directly. And hurt people hurt people. And healed people heal people. And we have an opportunity, i think, as parents, to speak into the lives of our children and encourage them, dont bash, hash or trash on social media because the internet never forgets. And make sure we dont invite Public Opinion into our very private day. What if people are piling on. Every kid felt that if they are i think, especially, when im talking to my children or someone like chelsea, i have to remind them that success and failure doesnt rise and fall on other peoples opinions. We have to make sure we look at our childs character. You are brave and courageous. And worthy. Thats right. It still hurts. Even when youre a grownup. And when youre a superstar like hoda. Well, rejection feels the be by reinforcing the worst thats been said to us. Right. We have to make sure that we travel back to some of those original forces of pain and rejection and really learn to deal with it and recognize that when rejected, we cannot hold up the banners of vic to imand victory at the same time. We have to make sure to hold up the banner of victory and walk in the absolute assurance of love. We are loved. And she writes from a the equation. And prove verbs 11 2 is great.
