There are a lot of guys who are looking for work and they are all schlubby and they want to be all— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: They’re looking for chicks like us. HODA KOTB: Yeah.

HODA KOTB: No, half of them don’t, Bob. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: One out of two, Bob, you know. My first one didn’t notice, but we’re all in this together, all right. We’re all set— HODA KOTB: Are you comfy? By the way, I get why guys sit in these easy chairs and eat Funyuns. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I don’t understand how you get in them, I don’t understand— HODA KOTB: No, but look how— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: These things are unbelievable. HODA KOTB: I know, but they are cozy. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: They’re also ugly as sin, but I like it. HODA KOTB: Cozy. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. HODA KOTB: I got-- and you got your Frank Gifford shirt on? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I’ve got-- well I wouldn’t show up in anything other than my Frank Gifford shirt. HODA KOTB: Of course, you wouldn’t. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yes, we only have about a hundred of these hanging around at home. But we had a big reaction yesterday from our-- our question. Who I guess everybody in the world except for myself has read the Fifty Shades of Grey— HODA KOTB: Fifty Shades of Grey, right. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --trilogy. So we asked all of you out there who-- who you think of when you’re reading this. HODA KOTB: You picked yesterday in case people didn’t see it, Kevin Costner— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: No, who should play in the movie? HODA KOTB: Who should play in the movie? You picked Kevin Costner— STILL: Photo of actor Kevin Costner in the movie “No Way Out”. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: In No Way Out. HODA KOTB: In No Way Out. Yeah, yeah. That look— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Not-- not as the Hatfield & McCoys. HODA KOTB: And you also picked one and the only— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Frank Gifford. HODA KOTB: Gifford. STILL: Black and white photo of Gifford’s husband Frank Gifford. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yes, yes, yes when he was about twenty-seven. HODA KOTB: He looks hot. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Which is how old Christian Grey, supposed to be, I guess. HODA KOTB: I picked from the great movie Wall Street, Gordon Gekko, sexy in charge. STILL: Black and white photo of actor Michael Douglas. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yep. HODA KOTB: Michael Douglas. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Hody likes it in-charge. HODA KOTB: I like him, like that. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yep, yep. So you all wrote him with your ideas— HODA KOTB: I can’t sit in this. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --a lot of people, lot of women thought Ryan Gosling, you know. STILL: Photo of actor Ryan Gosling. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. He’s, you know, also awfully good ac-- actor too. I mean, he’s cute on the eyes, but he’s a great actor. A lot of people I think because of this magic Mike thought of— HODA KOTB: Channing Tatum. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Here is it Tatum Channing. HODA KOTB: No, no. Matt Bomer first. STILL Photo of actor Matt Bomer. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Matt Bomer. Yeah. HODA KOTB: Matt Bomer is totally— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: He’s adorable. HODA KOTB: --hot. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Absolutely hot. And Channing Tatum— HODA KOTB: Channing Tatum. Uh-Huh? STILL: Photo of actor Channing Tatum. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yes. Who’s--you know what? He is the sweetest guy. He was here last week for Magic Mike. HODA KOTB: Mm-Hm. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And he’s from Alabama. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And these Southern boys are just, they’ve been raised by— HODA KOTB: Yes. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --with manners. HODA KOTB: I agree. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And-- and I didn’t mind being called ma'am. HODA KOTB: I like-- yeah, No, I like Southern boys too. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Coming out of him, that was cute. HODA KOTB: Have you ever had a Funyun? Seriously, have a Funyun, get involved. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: A Funyun— HODA KOTB: No, Funyuns are so good, oops doesn’t matter. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Christian-- Christian Bale, also a lot of you thought which is kind of surprising because he’s not anywhere near twenty-seven. STILL: Photo of actor Christian Bale. HODA KOTB: Bite into it. Tell me how bad your breath is right now. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Oh my God. HODA KOTB: They are awesome. They are-- you have to sit alone and eat territorial bag of these, Funyuns. They remind me of— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Bunions. They fit right on it. They fit-- they fit right on it. It’s unbelievable. Hodo, do I need a pedicure. HODA KOTB: You just lost a good Funyun. All right. So here’s a question, if your friend’s husband hit on you what would you do? If your friend’s husband hit on you what would you do? Would you tell your friend? Would you not tell? How would you address it? Well, frisky.com. There’s a dotcom for everything— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: For everything. HODA KOTB: Anyway, they talked about ways to handle the situation. They say— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: First of all, don’t blame yourself. You can’t help it that you’re gorgeous and hot. HODA KOTB: And your cleavage is out. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And your friend isn’t, apparently. HODA KOTB: All right. That’s what they say that no one is perfect. So you got to remember that. Also they say never-- this is one of the-- I guess one of the solutions. Should you never be alone with your friend’s spouse? I would probably choose— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: After that? No. HODA KOTB: You choose to stay away. Would you tell your friend or not? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: It did happen to me one time. HODA KOTB: It did? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah, yeah. HODA KOTB: And what did you do? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: It’s just such a creepy feeling. It just really, really is. They weren’t close friends, but it was a friend’s husband. HODA KOTB: So what did you do? Stayed away? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I just acted like I didn’t hear him and moved to the other room, yeah. HODA KOTB: Yeah. The question is should you-- they-- they also say, too, I would say away from the-- from the person and I would-- but I don’t think I would say anything because— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: You know the guys have some things about that. HODA KOTB: What do you have to say? CHUCK NICE: I just-- I just want to say if my friend’s husband hit on me, I would tell him I am very flattered, but it’s not that kind of party. RICK YOUNGER: Yes. Well, the thing is that it’s a-- it’s a slippery slope because if you say something to her, she may take his side. Now you’re, you know, say— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Your femme fatal who brought it on. HODA KOTB: Yes. RICK YOUNGER: Right. And you know what— HODA KOTB: Or maybe you misread it. RICK YOUNGER: --but you do need to stay away from him. BOB GUINEY: Yeah. RICK YOUNGER: And as a guy, I mean come on, there’s a lot of women in the world. Just don’t tell— CHUCK NICE: Don’t tell her. Do not tell her that her that her husband hit on you. You will be the enemy from that point on. HODA KOTB: All right. That’s a good thing you brought it on— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: That’s true. HODA KOTB: --what did you do or you misread it. He didn’t hit on you. What were you thinking? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah exactly. HODA KOTB: You know what I mean? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: It’s a no win. CHUCK NICE: His-- his response-- his response will be, honey, she’s a whore. RYAN SERHANT: I personally love it if (unintelligible) hit on me. CHUCK NICE: That will be his response. RYAN SERHANT: I’m okay with that. CHUCK NICE: And I did nothing. I didn’t— BOB GUINEY: I’m a divorced guy. (Cross talking) RICK YOUNGER: She misunderstood. HODA KOTB: What does the-- what does the divorced bachelor think? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: What does the divorced one think? BOB GUINEY: Well, thank you so much for that wonderful introduction, Kathie. I say-- I say run. That’s all you got to do. Just run away and then lie about it. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Run and— HODA KOTB: Run away and lie. BOB GUINEY: Yeah. CHUCK NICE: Run and lie. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Oh. RYAN SERHANT: And send the wives and the mothers to me. BOB GUINEY: Yeah. And obviously that’s— RICK YOUNGER: Run and lie. BOB GUINEY: --why my relationship doesn’t work so well. HODA KOTB: Okay. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: All right. That was fascinating. HODA KOTB: Still talking? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Not. Are you all still talking? All right. HODA KOTB: All right. That’s my favorite line of all time. All right. So you guys are wondering where the manliest city in the United States is, there’s— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: It isn’t here. It is not-- sorry, guys. It ain’t New York. HODA KOTB: Okay. So they did this study and the way they narrowed it down was they found out the places that had the most gyms and steakhouses and home depots and stuff like that. And they also— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: That is so effective. HODA KOTB: --found the ones with the least number of manicure and pedicure places and hair salons. So here are the top five manliest cities in the United States of America. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Number one is Birmingham, Alabama— HODA KOTB: Number five. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Number five. GFX: Header “America’s Manliest Cities, Source: Combos” and supers “5. Birmingham, AL, 4. Nashville, TN, 3. Memphis, TN, 2. Columbia, SC, 1.

HODA KOTB: Mm-Hm. Number three— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Is Memphis, which is a lot like Nashville. HODA KOTB: Number two is Columbia, South Carolina. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Are you noticing a Southern trend? HODA KOTB: Yes. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And number one. HODA KOTB: The manliest city in the country is— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Is— HODA KOTB: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Wow. HODA KOTB: Wow. Okay. There you have it. Anything? RICK YOUNGER: And everybody’s rushing to get there. RICKM YOUNGER: My wife is from there. HODA KOTB: Thank you for that. RICK YOUNGER: Yeah. So— HODA KOTB: Anyway— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Is-- is she rather manly? CHUCK NICE: You just called your wife manly. RICK YOUNGER: No. (Cross talking) CHUCK NICE: I think you just called your wife, manly. RICK YOUNGER: No, I did not. I said my wife is from there. I was about to say, she knows manly men. That’s why she chose me. HODA KOTB: Oh. RICK YOUNGER: She’s from Oklahoma City. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Why did she leave the manliest city in America to come to New Jersey and marry you? RICK YOUNGER: Because she wants the manliest man but in the most cultured city. And here you go. HODA KOTB: All right. Well, this is— (Cross talking) CHUCK NICE: That was-- that was nice. HODA KOTB: All right. The next-- this-- this next story is going to upset a lot of people, we think. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yep. HODA KOTB: In Germany, this mayor decided that women are not good parkers, and they can’t park their cars well. So this mayor decided— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: You think that’s funny, do you? HODA KOTB: --that the trickiest spots he was-- he was giving just to men, there’s actually a symbol, male symbol. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Designating them-- male only parking lot. HODA KOTB: Oh, look at him smiling and pointing. STILL: Photo of Triberg, Germany Mayor Gallus Strobel posing at a male only parking lot. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Oh, my gosh. HODA KOTB: What is wrong with him? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I say Tase him and then vote him out. HODA KOTB: Anyway he says it’s too complicated for women to learn to park in those spots. So they are just for men. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Too many difficult angles and too close to those cement pillars and garages. HODA KOTB: They say that the spaces for women are wider, well lit, and closer to the exit. Stop laughing. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Because we’re just so pathetic. HODA KOTB: What is wrong with them? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: You guys think that’s funny? BOB GUINEY: We did a research on this topic actually. And, Chuck, you said that this was informed by what again? CHUCK NICE: Oh, you know, the whole women can’t drive thing comes from, you know, where that came from? HODA KOTB: Where? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Where? CHUCK NICE: Science. RICK YOUNGER: All right. I just want you to get mature. We-- we all get mad, make sure you get the right black guy. (Cross talking) BOB GUINEY: Amazing of information and it’s all scientific. CHUCK NICE: Yeah. HODA KOTB: Oh. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And what does the science say, professor? CHUCK NICE: It says that I am a dummy because I can’t believe I just said that. BOB GUINEY: We can’t believe it either that. I like it. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Well, now— HODA KOTB: They’re doing something— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: They have these cars— CHUCK NICE: Hey, hang on. HODA KOTB: Okay. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --they have these cars now that will do it for you. HODA KOTB: You just push a button and it parallel parks for you. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Have you ever had, not that I have, but I’ve seen people have such a hard time in those parking spaces that you start to panic. You sweat like crazy. And you just-- you pretend something’s wrong with the car. And you just get out of there as fast as you-- and you— HODA KOTB: I have-- I do have trouble parallel parking, I’ll admit. I’m not great at it. I don’t think it’s-- what? I’m not very good at it. I’m not-- I mean, are you good-- can you parallel park well? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I learned that-- yeah, you’re supposed-- the problem is people don’t pull up to the perfect— HODA KOTB: Close enough. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --spot. CHUCK NICE: That’s it. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: There’s a spot on the-- on the-- on-- you got to pull up on your own car. HODA KOTB: I just don’t like pulling up that— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And then you— HODA KOTB: --close to another car. I’m afraid my— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Well, not that the beep, beep, beep thing on both ends. HODA KOTB: --rearview is going to hit it. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: My gosh, Hoda, if you can do that how can you host a magnificent television show like this every day? HODA KOTB: I can’t get my chair down. Try to get your chair down. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: The trouble is we have rear ends. That’s why we women cannot get out of these chairs. Are you sunk in there? HODA KOTB: I couldn’t breathe. I was getting swallowed. Okay. So your-- your good buddy Cheyenne— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I love Cheyenne Jackson. HODA KOTB: What-- yeah, tell us what he’s doing. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Oh, you know what, he-- he let us know that he started writing songs, and so, you know him from TV’s 30 Rock and also terrific star of Broadway. Well, today, he’s releasing his brand-new single which he wrote. I love this song. It’s titled, “Before You,” sounds a little like Michael Buble’ish and also— HODA KOTB: Oh. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --some Jason Mraz. And the entire video is-- is-- is available on AOL’s music home— HODA KOTB: Mm-Hm. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --I think today— HODA KOTB: Can we watch it?

KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: He said that we could show it only if we promise to let him come back and sing it in the studio for us live. HODA KOTB: Maybe he could play Christian Grey. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Ooh, Cheyenne wouldn’t be so bad at Christian Grey. HODA KOTB: What Cheyenne? How about a little Cheyenne Jackson? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. So we’re so happy for him. You know, it’s-- it’s-- most talented people you meet also do something else very, very well— HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --you know. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And so he’s a doll l. So we’re very, very happy for him. HODA KOTB: How’s your Coors Light? You’re not into it? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I’m not-- oh, I have to have Maryland crabs to go with this chair— HODA KOTB: Take one more sip. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --or it’s just not the same. HODA KOTB: Take a sip. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Got any of those back there? HODA KOTB: Mm. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: All righty.
