-Welcome back to the show.
We didn't really even have to compete this time on our show
'cause we did our dance challenge kind of together.
Here's us from the bit that we just did.
-Yeah, we decided that we're better together.
[ Laughter ] -We are better together.
And it was fantastic.
Are you -- have you been playing any flip cup?
-No. [ Laughter ]
-I don't like bringing it up.
The only reason was because, you know, it wasn't that fun for me.
But whatever. -But it was great for me.
You know, I am sad to say,
I think people are actually scared to play me.
Everyone saw me play you, and they were like, "Oh."
They're scurred. -They're a little scurred?
-Yeah, I think -- I think I'm just kind of the champion.
[ Laughter ]
-That's ridiculous.
-At least that's what I like to think.
-But you've never played flip cup before you played me,
and you just --
-Yeah, I'm like a one-hit wonder.
[ Laughter ]
-But I couldn't even believe it because you were like --
Backstage, you're like, "Yeah, I never played before,
but, sure, I'll play. It'll be fun."
And then, I'm like, "Okay." And you just went...
And I was like, "Are you kidding me?"
-But we've always been better together, because then I
helped you finish your flip cup
'cause you couldn't get very far down.
[ Audience "Oohs" ]
-This is insane. I mean --
-I'm here for you. -Thank you, yeah.
And I'm here for you, too. -Your next flip cup competition,
just call me in, I'll be your backup.
-Okay, I will. We'll be partners.
-Exactly. -'Cause I also heard
you're good at "Mario Kart." -Yes.
Well, I used to be very good at "Mario Kart,"
but I haven't played in a while.
-Well, I mean, but what do you mean you used to be?
I mean, I used to be good at flip cup, you know?
I still play the ga-- I still play the game, you know?
But I mean, like, next time.
Which Mario Kart is yours? Which one do you play?
-Princess Peach is my favorite, 'cause I think she has
the best balanced kart, and, also, she's very fast.
[ Laughter ]
And she's kind of sassy on the road.
-Oh, my gosh! She's not sassy.
What are you talking about? She's not sassy at all.
Sassy... -Whose your person?
-Oh, Bowser. -Really?
He's kind of a jerk.
[ Laughter ]
-See, I think you're judging him by his looks.
[ Laughter ]
He looks like a mean -- Well, he actually is mean.
He steals the Princess and kidnaps her sometimes.
Yeah, so he is kind of a jerk.
-We wouldn't like each other on "Mario Kart."
-Oh, wow, this is gonna be a really --
But I think Bowser does like Princess Peach.
-Oh, right. Okay.
It's just me that doesn't like you.
[ Laughter ]
All right, it's one-sided. -Hey, I wanted to --
I wanted to ask you something, because your husband,
Justin Verlander, who is an amazing pitcher, love that guy.
He's been on the show a bunch of times.
You love -- [ Laughter ]
I mean, yeah, but I loved him before you.
[ Laughter ]
-You get competitive about loving him.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah!
He's your husband, but he loves me!
No, we asked him to do us a favor because we had a game
called "Drop It In" that we've done with a bunch of athletes,
and what we do is, we make up all these silly sayings
and see if they can drop it into interviews.
-Yeah. -And then, if they look
at the list and they go like, "Oh, yeah.
Maybe I'll drop it in." And the interviewer
doesn't know why they're saying any of this stuff.
So we asked him to help us out, and he did.
I just want to show a clip of -- here's your husband.
-You've got the supermodel wife. What's the secret?
You gotta tell the youngster how to do it.
-Man, there's no secret.
You know, I recently watched the movie "Fever Pitch."
It still holds up. [ Ding! ]
So, I mean, love, baseball, all that.
-My movie, "Fever Pitch." -Yeah.
-That's right. He's right.
[ Applause ]
-Honestly, it really does still hold up.
Because I really relate to Drew Barrymore's character.
You know, every time she gets so mad because she'd have to
look at the Red Sox schedule before planning, like,
a wedding or going to Paris. That's what I have to do.
I'm constantly looking at the Astros schedule, and sometimes,
even when you look at it, you get it wrong
like I did and almost missed my wedding.
[ Laughter ] It's tricky.
-That is true. That's right.
I forgot about that.
So, you actually -- your real life is "Fever Pitch."
-Yeah, if you make a sequel, you want to, you know,
get some stories, call me up. [ Laughter ]
-Yeah, I'm going to.
I want to you about -- talk about Strong4Me.
Explain how you got involved with this and what it is.
-Yeah, well, I partnered up with my trainer, Ben Bruno,
and he wrote this great 12-week program
that's 30-minute workouts that you can do anywhere.
Because, especially as a new mom,
it's so hard to find time to work out and stay fit.
And Ben and I wanted to make it convenient for everyone,
anywhere, because it's so important.
-And you actually told me that your dog, Harley,
is your workout partner?
-Yes, Harley is, for sure, my favorite workout buddy.
-Now, what does Harley do --
You brought -- You brought some videotape here,
just some footage of you and Harley working out.
Now what does -- [ Laughter ]
Now what does he really do?
[ Laughter ]
-He clearly takes working out very seriously.
He is -- -So, he waits for his turn?
Or what does he do? -Yeah.
-What was he doing there?
-He's just, like, glaring at Ben, who took that video.
I mean, apparently, he doesn't like any social media
at the gym. [ Laughter ]
-He's like, "Don't post this." [ Laughter ]
-He's like, "I don't look my best."
[ Laughter ]
-But, do you -- #ShareStrong is something
that you started on Instagram recently.
-Yes. -And I saw bunch of my friends
doing it, too, and just basically saying
what inspires them. -Yeah, so I wanted --
We're bombarded every single day
with so much fakeness and so much B.S.
that, you know, with retouching and filters
and comparing ourselves to other people's fake self,
and I wanted us to take a second
and remember to love our true, raw self.
And it's just so important, you know,
with all this fakeness going on, to remember who or what
continues to motivate us to be our best, strongest self.
-Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
Good for you.
-And it -- It's so great in this community
with this hashtag.
Now you can scroll through and see all these people
sharing these awesome, inspiring stories,
so when we're not feeling our best,
you can go through and read these stories,
and we can continue motivating
and spreading this amazing positivity.
-Yeah, if you have a story -- [ Applause ]
If you have a story, post it in #ShareStrong.
And it will make other people very, very happy.
-Especially me. -Yeah.
Kate Upton, everybody. [ Cheers and applause ]
