IT WAS FUN. IT WAS JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.
>> I MISSED YOU TOO.
>> ANYWAY, MILA KUNIS AND ASHTON
KUTCHER ARE KNOWN FOR KEEPING
THEIR RELATIONSHIP PRIVATE, BUT
SHE RECENTLY OPENED UP ABOUT HOW
SHE FIRST TOLD HER MOM ABOUT HER
NEW BOYFRIEND.
NEW BOYFRIEND. >> APPARENTLY MILA SAID TO HER
MOM, SHE WAS LIKE,MENT NO, I
HAVE -- MOM, I HAVE TO TELL YOU
I’M DATING SOMEBODY.
SHE WAS LIKE, OKAY, WHO.
BRACE YOURSELF FOR THIS ONE.
SHE SAID, I’M DATING ASHTON
KUTCHER.
KUTCHER. AND LITERALLY HER MOM SAID, SHUT
THE [ BLEEP ] UP IN RUSSIAN.
>> IN RUSSIAN.
I DON’T KNOW WHY.
THEY HAD WORKED TOGETHER AS KIDS
BASICALLY IN "THAT ’70s SHOW."
>> AND THEY’RE BOTH MOVIE STARS.
>> SO DO YOU REMEMBER HAVING TO
HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOUR
MOM ABOUT WHO YOU WERE DATING?
>> DO YOU REMEMBER -- WHAT ABOUT
WHEN YOU IT WOULD YOUR PARENTS
THAT YOU WERE DATING FRANK
GIFFORD?
GIFFORD? >> OH, YEAH.
>> THAT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE --
BECAUSE HE WAS THE BIGGEST STAR
IN THE WORLD.
>> I KNOW.
>> WASN’T HE?
>> PRETTY MUCH.
IN THE SPORTS WORLD, DEFINITELY.
>> SO WHAT DID YOU SAY?
>> WELL, MY FATHER -- IT WAS
INTERESTING BECAUSE MY FATHER OF
COURSE HAD BEEN A BALTIMORE
COLTS FAN ALL ALONG BECAUSE WE
LIVED IN MARYLAND.
ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST
ADVERSARIES, OF COURSE, WAS THE
NEW YORK GIANTS.
WE DESPICEDSED THE GIANTS.
EVERYBODY IN MARYLAND COULDN’T
STAND THE GIANTS.
I REMEMBER MY FATHER SAYING,
EXCEPT FOR THAT FRANK GIFFORD.
NOW, THAT IS ONE CLASS ACT.
THAT GUY IS A CLASSY MAN.
SO IT WAS FOURTH OF JULY
WEEKEND.
WEEKEND. MY MOM AND DAD WERE COMING UP TO
STAY WITH ME.
I HAD A BRAND NEW LITTLE HOUSE
OUT IN THE HAMPTONS IN THE WOODS
AND EVERYTHING.
AND EVERYTHING. THEY WERE GOING TO MEET FRANK
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THEY WERE HESITANT.
23 YEARS OLDER, BEEN MARRIED
TWICE BEFORE.
TWICE BEFORE. ALREADY A GRANDFATHER.
IT DIDN’T LOOK RIGHT ON PAPER,
THAT’S FOR SURE.
BUT MY FIRST ONE LOOKED PERFECT
ON PAPER, AND IT WAS A DISASTER.
SO YOU CAN’T GO BY THOSE THINGS.
>> HOW WAS THAT MEETING?
DO YOU REMEMBER?
>> FRANK, SO SMART.
THE WAY TO MY PARENTS’ HEART,
DEFINITELY THROUGH THEIR
STOMACHS.
STOMACHS. HE HAD STOPPED AT ALL THOSE
ROADSIDE MARKETS IN THE HAMPTONS
BEFORE HE GOT THERE.
YOU COULD HARDLY SEE FRANK HE
HAD SO MUCH.
MY MOTHER IS LIKE, FRANK!
>> WERE THEY STAR STRUCK AT ALL?
>> NO, NOT AT ALL.
IT WAS FUNNY, TOO, BECAUSE THESE
KIDS WERE RENTING THE HOUSE NEXT
TO ME.
TO ME. THEY WERE MAKING TONS AND TONS
OF NOISE AND EVERYTHING.
FRANK SAID TO MY DAD, I’LL JUST
GO OVER THERE AND HAVE A WORD
WITH THEM.
WITH THEM. MY DADDY SAYS, HOW ABOUT I GO
OVER THERE WITH THE TORPEDO AND
HAVE A WORD WITH THEM.
LIKE, I’LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
THEY JUST GOT ALONG GREAT FROM
THE VERY BEGINNING.
WELL, THEY WERE THE SAME AGE.
MY PARENTS WERE HIS PEERS.
>> I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.
WOW.
WOW. >> BLESS HIS HEART.
IT’S ALMOST THREE YEARS SINCE
HE’S PASSED.
HE’S PASSED. >> AUGUST, RIGHT.
>> ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, HODA WOMAN.
>> DOES IT SEEM LIKE THREE?
>> OH, THAT’S -- YEAH.
NO, IN SOME WAYS IT SEEMS LIKE
YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY. IN SOME WAYS IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S
BEEN 15.
BEEN 15. IT’S WEIRD.
IT’S WEIRD. YOU GET WAVES.
WHEN I WAS DOING THE MOVIE, OF
COURSE IT WAS VERY MUCH ON MY
MIND BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT A WOMAN
WHO’S LOST HER HUSBAND.
THE SCENE THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT
YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY. EVERY WOMAN THAT’S LOST HER
HUSBAND, AND I’M SURE EVERY MAN
THAT’S LOST HIS WIFE TOO, OR
PARTNER, WHATEVER, SOMEBODY
YOU’VE LOVED DEEPLY AND A LONG
TIME, YOU HAVE A MOMENT WHERE
YOU JUST ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE A
WIDOW.
WIDOW. IT LOOKS WEIRD TO YOU FOR THE
LONGEST TIME.
LONGEST TIME. YOU DON’T DEFINE YOURSELF THAT
WAY, BUT -- AND FOR ME IT WAS ON
OUR ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF HIS
PASSING.
PASSING. THAT WAS WHEN I TOOK MY WEDDING
RING OFF AND PUT IT ON THIS
HAND.
HAND. SO THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE
MOVIE ABOUT WHEN SHE FINALLY HAS
THAT UNDERSTANDING THAT I’M
READY.
READY. I’M READY TO, YOU KNOW, NOT BE
DEFINED BY THIS ANYMORE.
>> I BET A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
NODDING THEIR HEADS LISTENING TO
THAT.
THAT. >> I TALK ABOUT THE 17 MILLION
WIDOWS IN AMERICA, BUT I DON’T
KNOW HOW MANY WIDOWERS THERE
