[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, FIRST OF ALL,
WE LOVE THAT SONG, BUT THERE'S
SO MUCH TO ADMIRE ABOUT THOSE
TWO GUYS, BECAUSE BLAKE LOVES
HIS GIRL, GWEN, WHICH I'M FINE
WITH
>> ARE YOU SURE?
>> HOW ABOUT GARTH, WHENEVER HE
COMES TO STUDIO 1A, AND HE'S
COME BEFORE AND HE TALKS ABOUT
TRISHA, AND HE CALLS HER HIS
QUEEN.
>> YES
>> Y'ALL, IT'S THE SWEETEST
THING.
ONE TIME SHE WAS ON AND HE
TWEETED -- WE WERE INTERVIEWING
HER AND HE TWEETED AT ME AND IT
SAID, PLEASE TELL MY GIRL THAT
SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL TODAY.
>> HE ALSO, WHEN I INTERVIEWED
HIM ONE TIME, AND I LOVED GARTH
BROOKS GROWING UP.
IF YOU WERE AN '80s TEXAS GIRL
OR '90s, Y'ALL KNOW.
WE HAD HIS POSTERS, WE LISTENED
TO HIS MUSIC
I WAS NERVOUS TO MEET HIM, HE
WALKS IN AND TAKES OFF HIS HAT
AND SAID, HOW YA DOING, MA'AM?
I'M NOT A MA'AM, BUT --
>> HE LOVES HIS WIFE
>> HOW CAN WE RAISE EVERY MAN TO
BE LIKE THAT
>> THERE ARE CERTAIN GUYS IN
THAT CATEGORY.
I ALSO THINK DREW BREES IS IN
THAT CATEGORY, DON'T YOU THINK
HE'S THE QUARTERBACK FOR THE NEW
ORLEANS SAINTS
THERE ARE CERTAIN MEN YOU JUST
WONDER, WHAT DID THEIR MOM AND
DAD DO THAT THEY TURNED OUT THAT
GOOD
>> YES
>> AND CAN'T YOU TELL A GUY
WHO --
>> STANDS UP
>> WELL, CAN'T YOU TELL A GUY
WHO BUSTS THROUGH THE DOOR AND
YOU'RE STANDING RIGHT BEHIND IT
AND YOU'RE GOING, WHO ARE YOU?
>> DID YOU EVER DATE HIM
>> YOU DIDN'T DATE A GUY LIKE
THAT
I ALWAYS LOOK TO SEE IF THERE'S
A WEDDING RING, BECAUSE I WONDER
IF SOMEONE TOLERATES THAT.
>> MY DAUGHTER IS FASCINATED
WITH OUR DATING LIVES BEFORE HER
FATHER AND I GOT MARRIED, SO SHE
ASKED MY PARENTS OVER CHRISTMAS.
MILA IS A LITTLE ROMANTIC.
>> WHAT DID SHE ASK?
>> SHE SAID, WHAT WERE MOMMY'S
BOYFRIENDS LIKE BEFORE DADDY
LIKE AT CHRISTMAS DINNER, YOU
KNOW
AND MY DAD WAS LIKE, REMEMBER
THAT ONE
AND HE WOULD NEVER STAND UP AND
HELP -- LIKE, HE WOULD COME FOR
HOLIDAYS AND STUFF, AND HE WOULD
NEVER STAND UP AND HELP MY MOM,
AND SHE WOULD EVEN SAY, CAN YOU
COME HELP?
AND HE WOULD JUST LAY THERE.
DON'T WORRY, I DUMPED HIM.
>> I THINK SOMETIMES IT'S ABOUT
THE TINIEST GESTURE IN THE
WORLD.
MY MOM WAS VISITING OVER THE
WEEKEND, AND STHE LIKES TO HAVE
HER BAG BY THE DOOR WHEN IT'S
TIME TO LEAVE.
SHE JUST LIKES TO HAVE IT THERE.
>> DO YOU HAVE YOUR THING?
>> I DO.
I WAS GOING TO SAY
JOEL AND I ARE IN THE KITCHEN AT
7:00 IN THE MORNING.
HE'S IN HIS BARE FEET AND HE'S
GOT HIS T-SHIRT ON FOR HALEY'S
BIRTHDAY
MY MOM SAID, MY BAG IS ALL
READY.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT JOEL DID?
HE LOOKED AT ME, HE LOOKED AT MY
MOM, AND HE SAID, LET ME GRAB
THAT
HE WENT UPSTAIRS AND PUT IT BY
THE DOOR
IT'S LIKE A LANGUAGE OF LOVE,
IT'S PEACE OF MIND
I SAID TO JOEL, I'VE NEVER LOVED
YOU MORE THAN I DO RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE YOU DID THAT ONE LITTLE
THING THAT MAKES MY MOM FEEL
GOOD
IF YOU LISTEN TO YOUR LOVED
ONES, THEY'LL TELL YOU WHAT THEY
WANT, AND SOMETIMES IT'S SO
SMALL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO
ANYTHING MAJOR
>> YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY
ANYTHING
THAT'S THE KEY
HE JUST KNEW
>> USUALLY WITH MEN YOU HAVE TO
SAY IT LIKE SEVEN TIMES.
THE GARBAGE, THE GARBAGE, ARE
YOU GOING TO GET IT?
>> BY THE WAY, SOME REALLY NICE
MEN CAME WITH THEIR WIVES TODAY.
I SEE ABOUT FIVE IN THE
AUDIENCE
>> WE WANT TO THANK THE MEN.
>> RAISE YOUR HAND
LOOK, THERE'S A LOT OF MEN WHO
CAME WITH THEIR WIVES!
>> YOU GUYS ARE GETTING, WE
SHOULD POINT OUT, SUCH BROWNIE
POINTS
>> AND WE LOVE THE GARTHS AND
