Performance by the texas tenors. Love them and ambush makeovers because we missed everybody at the parade yesterday. Hope you had a great thanksgiving. Hope you enjoyed the parade. We have bad news for you, so you might as well brace yourself as youre sitting there scratching your belly because the average american, just so you know, consumed yesterday 4,500 calories. Is that like four days worth of food basically . About. About. 3,000 on your turkey dinner, 1500 calories on snacks and drinks. Thats the only way that saves me. I love that meal so much, i dont snack on anything. You dont . Huhuh. Because then you dont have your appetite for all the good stuff. You are right. Heres a question, when you go to someones home for thanksgiving, do you ask for leftovers . Do you say hey. Hey. Im leaving. Going to eat that . Taking that turkey . Going to finish that . Apparently this is a big thing. People go to other peoples homes and not wait to say does anyone want extra Sweet Potatoes . They come and ask, may i have whats left in that dish . You know, diane, she is an etiquette expert, says unless your host offers, you do not ask for leftovers. If leftovers are offered, you may, of course, say yes. Best rule of them, err on the side of some people show up at peoples homes and this is what we have read and heard from sources with their own tupperware committee containers just not to inconvenience the host so you dont have to give me a dish that youll never see again. That i wont ever remember to return. Do you return peoples tupperware . Yeah. Oh. Okay. It just seems almost like a nothing. You just bring your own ziplocks, right . Ziplock have the containers that look like tupperware so theyre sturdy containers. Sometimes i dont im not trying to be rude. Sometimes i dont intentionally return something, not because im like, an extra plate. I think i forget about it. Not you, hoda, really . You know what someone forgot about on our table . Oh, my gosh. We dont have a drip, a drop of red wine. We have water. Santa claus is coming tonight santa claus is coming tonight so put out some cookies and try to sleep tight santa claus is coming tonight so put out some cookies and drink up that wine santa claus is coming tonight all right. Marcus collins, john and jaycee. Thanks, you guys. Thank you fors the serenade. Well see you in a bit. Work on another number, will you . Nice. Nice little surprise today. All right. It is black friday and that means why do they call it black friday . I dont know. They should call it green friday. Yeah. The day you buy things. Yes. The question is, do you start buying your Christmas Gifts on black friday . Keep in mind thanksgiving came late so there are fewer shopping days between thanksgiving and christmas. So youve got to get busy. What i realized too that when youre in the city, especially, and see the Salvation Army red kettles and everybody doing their dances and stuff outside of it, theyre already Salvation Army is 26 million in the hole this year. Why . Because they are only allowed to ring their bells from thanksgiving through Christmas Eve outside of most of the retailers. Six days less. Think of that, about that when you make a little donation to them. Oh, yeah. I didnt realize that. I didnt know that either. Heres another question four. How much money do you spend on your kids at christmas . There is a survey out there that says most parents well, a fourth of parents will spend up to 500. Per child. But most will spend between 100 and 200. Yeah. 500 seems a lot i think. It seems like a lot. Depending on what your kid wants. Once they start to get older they want things far more expensive, electronics and they want a certain pair of shoes. Forget it, cas. And those things are incredibly pricey. I know. It does seem like most of youre right. Most of the Electronics Even for younger kids who want those things. I dont know what the right price range would be. Sometimes after christmas there are kids that get everything they get so much stuff they dont appreciate anything and they play with it five seconds and throw it away. Its really you know what they might like . What . We have something that is unique and were not sure if its good or not but they have brushing your teeth is a thing you do every day, a couple times. Please. Most of you do. Anyway and the ones that dont, you dont know who you are, thats the trouble. Here are different flavored toothpastes. They have one that comes in cupcake. Cupcake. And one that comes in bacon. See, i love bacon, but i like to brush my teeth after i have bacon so i dont smell like bacon. You want yeah, right. I cant imagine wanting to brush your teeth with bacon. Where are we spitting . Im not going to try it. Why not . Because the texas tenors are here. Put it on my nose oh. I might try. Bambino is going to go crazy over me when i get home. Oh, hoda, youre really doing it. Is it the bacon kind . I did cupcake. Of course you did cupcake. Spit. You cant swallow it. Someone didnt think this through. Oh, shes going to go off camera. Oh. I got to. Im sorry. I didnt see a by the way let me smell your cupcake breath. Smells like cupcake. It does. Yeah. Whos going to love that, your girls that are here this weekend. Theyre going to love that. A novelty item created at where can they buy it . It went past. Firebox. Com. 11 each. All righty. Anything else to talk about . Bad behavior while driving, people. You cannot believe some of the things we have to do this. Well do the naked. This is so good. Okay. So what if you were minding your business in your house, go on to your patio or terrace whatever it is. To take in the moon. And guess what. You look across the neighbors. Its their moon. There are people, and this woman theres a woman who wrote this article because the people who lived across the street from her were they liked to walk around naked. Nudists. They walked around their house naked. The dad barbecued naked. The kids sat around the table with the parents naked and ate. The woman loved to garden. Do you know how many times you have to bend over when you garden . Do you have any idea how many times you have to contort your body to actually do gardening well . Well, so she wants to know what she should do in that situation . Look, when shes on her when shes upstairs on their terrace, she can see down into their their backyard. Their living room. All of their business. What would you have done if your neighbor bore was doing that . Besides moving . I dont know. You cannot ask people to do Something Different in their own home. They have the right to do it. I feel bad because i dont really think theres anything you can do. You can say, listen, i have small children, they look outside. Theyll Say Something like, the human body is beautiful. Yeah. But yours isnt. Ill never forget the time we were in france and we were at a lovely hotel and cody was all excited because he heard all the ladies go topless. Oh, lord. How old was cody . 8. I dont remember. Were there. And were and the first day goes by and he says mom, why do all the old ladies do it and none of the young pretty ones . All the older ladies with the, you know, flopping everywhere and throw them over to lift up the kids. Exactly. Whats funny, in new york, and anyone whos lived in Apartment Living knows when youre in your apartment and there are buildings all around you and i dont have shades on my windows. I know you dont, hoda and you have told me that you do the dash sometimes. Well, people do because you know why . Your bathroom is here, the bedroom is there and heres your option. Do i take all this time to find a robe and put it on or dash for ten seconds . Nobody but it is a little intimidating because you can see i can see what people are doing in their apartments. I can see when theyre having dinner. You can see when theyre having breakfast. What makes you think they cant see you dashing . Its thrilling. Its exciting. Youre like oh, my god, i made it. Its fun. You only think you made it. Probably 400 people go, there goes ho idea dashing again. Its time for friday funny. I love that. From facebook fan linda. So thank you very much. An 82yearold man named morris went to the doctor to get his annual physical. A few days later, the doctor saw his patient morris walking down the street. Morris was with a gorgeous, hot, young woman with a tight skirt and high heels on his arm. Couple days later, the doctor asked morris to come back in for a Little Office followup. When morris walked into his office and sat down, the doctor said, youre really doing great, arent you, morris . I was surprised to see you on the street with that young girlfriend the other day. Morris looked at him confused and said, just doing what you said, doc. You said to get a hot mama and be cheerful. Doctor started laughing and said, i didnt say that, morris. I said youve got a heart murmur, be careful. Pretty good. Thank you, linda, for that joke. That was cute.
