Not last night. The Hoosiers winning its first national championship ever. They top Miami, 27-21.

03:29

Speaker A

Stayed up, watched the game. It was a fun one to watch. You put it in slow-mo and it gives it that much more of an effect.

03:35

Speaker A

You talked about a historic celebration. Take a look at this. The Empire State Building here in New York City lit up in Hoosier's colors overnight.

03:43

Speaker A

Everybody celebrating Indiana this morning. We'll get to that in just a moment. But we want to start once again with even more winter weather hitting a huge swath of the country.

03:52

Speaker A

In Michigan, blinding snow triggered this massive pile-up of more than 100 vehicles. In fact, police estimate 30 to 40 semi-trucks were involved in the accident.

04:03

Speaker A

Meanwhile, more than 40 million are under cold weather advisories from the Midwest to right here in the Northeast, even down in central Florida.

04:10

Speaker A

But despite that cold weather, Mother Nature did manage to put on quite a show overnight.

04:14

Speaker A

Look at this. The northern lights visible across much of the northern U.S. and as far south as Alabama.

04:20

Speaker A

Al's standing by with the details on the forecast. First, though, NBC's Erin McLaughlin is right here in frigid Manhattan, where it's just 17 degrees right now, huh, Aaron?

04:31

Speaker A

Reporter: Craig, good morning. That's right. It's shockingly cold out here in New York City.

04:36

Speaker A

Temperatures dropped about another 10 degrees. And that's the case around a large part of the country.

04:41

Speaker A

Even all the way down to Florida. That extreme weather is creating chaos both on the roads and in the air, making post-holiday travel a nightmare.

04:51

Speaker A

This morning, the polar plunge punching through the heart of the country, from Minnesota to Maine, with frigid temps stretching all the way down to Florida.

05:00

Speaker A

And more than 40 million under cold weather alerts. The wicked weather wreaking havoc on the nation's roads.

Speaker A

Fueling a surge in the number of emergency calls in Milwaukee. With windchills as low as minus 24.

05:58

06:05

Speaker A

You can get frostbite in a few minutes? In a few minutes, yeah. Under ten minutes in weather like this when you have that blowing wind along with the cold.

06:14

Speaker A

Reporter: From western New York to Ohio to New England, they're digging out and cleaning up from the weekend.

06:20

Speaker A

As temps drop another ten degrees. Experts say the key to safely getting through these really dangerous temps is to limit the amount of time you spend outside and layer up, think hands, feet, head.

06:34

Speaker A

And remember, you saw that scary crash in Michigan, if you're out on the roads, make sure you have an emergency kit in your car with food, water, and first aid and other supplies.

06:45

Speaker A

Craig? Good tips there. Erin McLaughlin for us. Erin, thank you. Let's bring in Al.

06:50

Speaker A

This cold will be sticking around for a while? In fact, we'll see reinforcing amounts of cold air.

06:54

Speaker A

Good morning, everybody. Hope the thermostat is not clicking on too much for you. But between this West Coast ridge of high pressure and this Hudson Bay low, this is air coming straight out of the Arctic, from the Arctic Ocean

07:06

Speaker A

And then we've got reinforcing cold air coming in. Chicago by Friday, your air temperature, 1 degree.

Speaker A

NOW HE CLAIMS HIS MOTHER DERAILED SOME OF THEIR WEDDING PLANS. WRITING SHE CANCELED MAKING NICOLA'S DRESS IN THE 11th HOUR, DESPITE HOW EXCITED SHE WAS TO WEAR HER DESIGN AND EVEN HIJACKED MY FIRST DANCE WITH MY WIFE.

23:38

Speaker A

THE FORMER SPICE GIRL JOINED "TODAY" JUST MONTHS AFTER BROOKLYN'S WEDDING IN 2022. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING AND AS A MOTHER, TO SEE MY SON SO HAPPY MEANS SO MUCH.

23:50

Speaker A

Reporter: NEARLY TWO YEARS LATER, NICOLA DISCUSSED JOINING THE BECKHAM FAMILY. BROOKLYN GREW UP SO CLOSE WITH HIS FAMILY.

24:21

DAVID, DO YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FOR BROOKLYN THIS MORNING? DAVID, ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED FAMILY BUSINESS IS BEING AIRED IN PUBLIC?

24:34

Speaker A

24:47

Speaker A

NEWS REACHED OUT TO A REP FOR BECKHAM BUT HAS NOT HEARD BACK. THANK YOU.

24:53

Speaker A

> STILL TO COME, LAST YEAR'S STUNNING JEWEL HEIST AT THE LOUVRE BACK IN THE HEADLINES THIS MORNING.

24:58

Speaker A

WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT SOME NEVER BEFORE SEEN VIDEO OF THAT CRIME AS IT UNFOLDED, WHAT IT IS NOW REVEALING.

25:05

Speaker A

> FIRST, EMILIE IKEDA IS LOOKING INTO THE GROWING PUSH IN SCHOOLS TO SAVE CURSIVE HANDWRITING.

25:11

Speaker A

IF YOUR PENMANSHIP WAS PUT TO THE TEST, HOW WOULD YOUR CURSIVE HOLD UP? WE'RE USING CURSIVE LESS AND LESS THERE IS A GROWING PUSH FROM SCHOOLS TO BRING IT BACK TO THE CLASSROOMS.

25:27

Speaker A

> WE ARE BACK AT 7:38 WITH IN DEPTH TODAY. THIS MORNING, THE GROWING PUSH TO SAVE CURSIVE HANDWRITING.

25:34

Speaker A

WITH A BIGGER EMPHASIS ON COMPUTERS AND OTHER TECH IN THE CLASSROOM, THE ART OF LONG HAND HAS BEEN SLOWLY FADING, BUT NOW A NUMBER OF STATE OFS ARE S ARE THE SCRIPT.

25:46

Speaker A

EMILIE IKEDA IS HERE WITH THAT STORY. Reporter: GOOD MORNING, A BIT OF A CHANGE-UP.

25:52

Speaker A

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU READ SOMETHING IN CURSIVE, OUTSIDE OF A SIGNATURE, A POSTCARD FROM GRANDMA OR HISTORICAL DOCUMENT IN A MUSEUM?

25:58

Speaker A

IT IS NO SECRET THE PRACTICE OF CURSIVE HAS FADED, YET MORE STATES ARE BRINGING BACK REQUIREMENTS TO TEACH IT AS A NEW GENERATION OF STUDENTS GOES OLD SCHOOL.

26:10

Speaker A

IN THE AGE OF TYPING, SCROLLING AND VOICE TO TEXT, PUTTING A PEN TO PAPER HAS BECOME MORE UNCOMMON.

26:17

Speaker A

MAKE SURE IT IS ANCHORED ON A LINE. Reporter: A GROWING NUMBER OF STATES ARE MAKING SURE STUDENTS DON'T WRITE OFF THE PRACTICE OF CURSIVE, CONSIDERED A LOST ART BY SOME AND BRAIN BUSTER BY OTHERS.

26:31

Speaker A

THOSE ARE Zs. THEY LOOK LIKE Rs TO ME. Reporter: THIS WEEK, NEW JERSEY'S GOVERNOR SIGNING A NEW LAW REQUIRING SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO INCORPORATE INSTRUCTION ON CURSIVE HANDWRITING INTO THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE.

26:44

Speaker A

OTHER STATES INCLUDING GEORGIA, KENTUCKY AND CALIFORNIA RECENTLY ENACTED SIMILAR REQUIREMENTS. IN A PERHAPS SURPRISING COMEBACK OF CURSIVE SEEN ACROSS HALF THE COUNTRY.

26:55

Speaker A

DO YOU THINK OTHER STATES WILL FOLLOW SUIT? I DO. Reporter: LANGUAGE ARTS EXPERTS LIKE LESLIE ZAROYA SAY THE MOVE IS BACKED BY SCIENCE, WITH CURSIVE WRITING SHOWN TO IMPROVE READING, MEMORY AND FINE MOTOR SKILLS IN CHILDREN.

27:08

Speaker A

IT SHOWS HOW STUDENTS CAN MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN LETTERS TO FORM WORDS AND THEN BE ABLE TO READ THAT IN PHRASING IN CHUNKS.

27:16

Speaker A

Reporter: ADVOCATES SAY IT SERVES A PRACTICAL PURPOSE, LIKE SIGNING YOUR NAME AND READING IMPORTANT HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS.

27:25

Speaker A

AN INCREASINGLY RARE SKILL. THAT STUDIES SHOW HAS BEEN IN DECLINE FOR YEARS WITH ADVANCING TECHNOLOGY.

27:38

Speaker A

THEY DON'T NEED TO BRING CURSIVE BACK IN SCHOOLS. IT IS OBSOLETE, THE SAME WAY MORSE CODE IS OBSOLETE.

27:43

Speaker A

Reporter: THIS EMOTIONAL SCENE -- OVER A LETTER FROM CONRAD'S MOM IN "THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY" PROMPTING A PRINTED VERSION ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WRITING, BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF Y'ALL CAN'T READ CURSIVE.

28:02

Speaker A

I'LL MAKE A PASSIONED PLEA TO BRING BACK CURSIVE. Reporter: IT ISN'T CONSIGNED TO THE HISTORY BOOKS YET AS MORE KIDS ARE LEARNING THE LOOPS ONCE AGAIN.

28:11

Speaker A

THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES EVEN CALLED CURSIVE A SUPERPOWER AND HAS ACTUALLY BEEN RECRUITING PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP READ IT TO HELP TRANSCRIBE REVOLUTIONARY RI WAR ERA DOCUMENTS AHEAD OF AMERICA'S 250th BIRTH DAY.

28:25

Speaker A

ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? THIS IS MY SUBPAR CURSIVE. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. I'M SITTING HERE DURING MY SPOT, OKAY, SLOWLY -- DID YOU LEARN PENMANSHIP IN SCHOOL?

28:35

Speaker A

FOR SURE, FOR SURE. WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS? WE'RE KIND OF ALL THE SAME AGE.

28:39

Speaker A

THE KIDS NOW AREN'T LEARNING IT. MORE STATES ARE. THEY'RE BRINGING IT BACK. IT MAKES SENSE.

28:43

Speaker A

YOU'RE CONNECTING EACH LETTER, HELPING TO UNDERSTAND EACH WORD. JUST TO READ THE OLD STUFF, EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE IT, LEARN IT SO YOU CAN READ HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS.

28:53

Speaker A

JUST TO PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, IF YOU'RE A TEACHER AND GOT A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS IN THE DAY AND YOU HAVE TO -- SCIENCE, MATH, OTHER SUBJECTS THAT REQUIRE A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME ON TASK -- WHAT DO YOU PRIORITIZE?

29:05

Speaker A

RIGHT, I DON'T KNOW. TOUGH. FAIR POINT. I DON'T KNOW. THE CARD AT CHRISTMAS I'VE WRITTEN MY KIDS, THOUGHTFUL MEANINGS THEY NEVER UNDERSTOOD.

29:13

Speaker A

IS YOUR GO TO PRINT, THE -- I HAVE A HYBRID. KIND OF MESSY. AL?

37:21

Speaker A

THAT'S YOUR NEWS AT 8:00. WE START WITH THE BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES STRETCHING FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE NEW ENGLAND AREA, EVEN DOWN TO FLORIDA.

37:30

Speaker A

67 MILLION PEOPLE UNDER COLD WEATHER ALERTS THIS MORNING. THE HARSH WEATHER ALSO WREAKING HAVOC ON THE NATION'S ROADS AS WELL.

37:37

Speaker A

CHECK THIS OUT. A 100 CAR PILEUP NEAR GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, NUMEROUS INJURIES THERE AFTER MULTIPLE TRACTOR TRAILERS SPUN OUT.

37:46

Speaker A

MEANWHILE, THOUSANDS OF FLIGHT DELAYS YESTERDAY AS TRAVELERS WERE MAKING THEIR WAY HOME AFTER A LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

37:51

Speaker A

LET'S CHECK IN WITH AL ONCE AGAIN FOR A LOOK AT THE TROUBLE SPOTS RIGHT NOW.

37:56

Speaker A

THIS COLD IS DANGEROUS. IT IS NOT GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON. GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OUT WEST, LOW PRESSURE OVER HUDSON BAY, CANADA, THIS IS AIR DIRECT FROM THE ARCTIC AND IT IS BRUTALLY COLD.

38:07

Speaker A

WE GOT 43 MILLION PEOPLE FROM MINNESOTA ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FLORIDA UNDER COLD WEATHER ADVISORIES.

38:13

Speaker A

RIGHT NOW, IT FEELS LIKE MINUS 15 IN ALPENA, MINUS 4, BECKLEY, WEST VIRGINIA, NEW YORK CITY, 3 DEGREES ABOVE.

38:21

Speaker A

FOR TODAY, TEMPERATURES NOT OUT OF THE TEENS AND 20s. WINDCHILL SINGLE DIGITS TO BELOW ZERO.

IT CONTINUES TO TONIGHT. BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES, ZERO WINDCHILL IN ALBANY, 3 IN PITTSBURGH, BOSTON FEELS LIKE 3 DEGREES.

38:35

Speaker A

AND REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THESE AIR TEMPERATURES. MINNEAPOLIS, YOU'LL BE MINUS 8 ON FRIDAY.

38:40

Speaker A

1 IN CHICAGO. EERIE 16. WINDCHILLS EVEN COLDER. CHICAGO ON FRIDAY, YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL LIKE MINUS 17.

38:48

Speaker A

RICHMOND WILL FEEL LIKE 9. NEW YORK CITY BY SATURDAY FEELS LIKE 5. AND FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY, A CROSS COUNTRY STORM WITH BITTERLY COLD AIR.

38:58

Speaker A

DOWN TO THE GULF, ICE COULD BE SIGNIFICANT ICING FROM SAN ANGELO TO RALEIGH AND HEAVIER SNOW FROM AMARILLO, TEXAS, TO THE MID-ATLANTIC.

39:06

Speaker A

THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY IMPACTFUL STORM ON TOP OF ALREADY BITTERLY COLD.

39:12

Speaker A

SINGLE DIGITS SATURDAY, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, AL. > DOZENS OF BEACHES ON THE EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA ARE CLOSED AFTER FOUR SHARK ATTACKS IN JUST TWO DAYS.

39:22

Speaker A

AUTHORITIES WARN THAT RECENT RAINFALL LEFT THE WATER MURKY, WHICH HAS INCREASED THE RISK OF BULL SHARK ATTACKS.

39:27

Speaker A

THERE WERE THREE ATTACKS AROUND SYDNEY AND ANOTHER INCIDENT ABOUT 250 MILES NORTH OF THE CITY.

39:34

Speaker A

THIS MORNING, TWO OF THOSE VICTIMS ARE IN CRITICAL CONDITION. > DRAMATIC NEW SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWS THE LOUVRE JEWEL HEIST AS IT UNFOLDED.

39:42

Speaker A

THE FOOTAGE GIVING US A RARE GLIMPSE OF THE BRAZEN THIEVES WHO STOLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CROWN JEWELS, MOST OF THOSE JEWELS ARE STILL MISSING.

39:52

Speaker A

NBC'S RAF SANCHEZ HAS THE LATEST. GOOD MORNING. Reporter: GOOD MORNING. IT HAS BEEN CALLED THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY, BUT IT TOOK JUST FOUR MINUTES OF SMASHING AND GRABBING FOR THE THIEVES TO MAKE OFF WITH THOSE HISTORIC FRENCH

40:03

Speaker A

TREASURES. NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE SEEING HOW THE FOUR MINUTES PLAYED OUT IN DETAIL.

40:08

Speaker A

THIS MORNING, FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE SEEING THE LOUVRE JEWEL HEIST UP CLOSE. SURVEILLANCE VIDEO AIRED BY FRENCH BROADCASTER TF-1 SHOWS TWO THIEVES USING CIRCULAR SAWS AND THEN THEIR FISTS TO SMASH DISPLAY CASES INSIDE THE FAMED PARIS MUSEUM'S APOLLO DPAL GALL

40:29

Speaker A

AND THEN SNATCHING $102 MILLION WORTH OF FRANCE'S CROWN JEWELS, BEFORE CLIMBING BACK DOWN THIS LADDER TRUCK AND ESCAPING ON MOPEDS INTO THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

40:40

Speaker A

THREE MONTHS SINCE OCTOBER'S BRAZEN DAYLIGHT ROBBERY, FRENCH PROSECUTORS SAY FOUR MEN ARE IN CUSTODY, INCLUDING THE PAIR SEEN ON CCTV.

40:49

Speaker A

ONE MAN'S GIRLFRIEND HAS ALSO BEEN CHARGED AS AN ACCOMPLICE. BUT THERE'S STILL NO SIGN OF THE MISSING TREASURES, INCLUDING THIS NECKLACE NAPOLEON BONAPARTE GAVE TO HIS SECOND WIFE.

41:01

Speaker A

WITH EVERY PASSING DAY, FEARS GROW THAT THEY MAY BE LOST FOREVER. ALEXANDER PORTIER, A FRENCH LAWMAKER LEADING A PARLIAMENTARY INVESTIGATION INTO THE HEIST, TOLD US LAST YEAR -- I FEAR THAT THESE JEWELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN CUT TO PIECES.

41:19

Speaker A

THE LOUVRE, THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR MUSEUM, RAISED TICKET PRICES LAST WEEK FOR AMERICANS AND OTHER NONEUROPEAN VISITORS.

41:27

Speaker A

IT NOW COSTS $37 PER ADULT, AS THE MUSEUM TRIES TO FUND UPGRADES TO ITS INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING THE SECURITY SYSTEMS THAT FAILED SO BADLY DURING THE HEIST.

41:38

Speaker A

WE DIDN'T CAUSE THE ROBBERIES OR, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT HAS HAPPENED.

41:42

Speaker A

BUT WE'RE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO PAY THE CONSEQUENCES. Reporter: AND UNLESS THE STOLEN JEWELS ARE RECOVERED, FRENCH AUTHORITIES SAY THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A HOLE IN THE HEART OF THE GRAND MUSEUM.

41:55

Speaker A

AND THE FRENCH PROSECUTOR LEADING THE CASE SAYS SHE HAS NOT GIVEN UP HOPE THAT THE JEWELS MAY STILL BE RECOVERED.

42:01

Speaker A

BUT SHE IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THOSE FOUR MEN IN CUSTODY ARE NOT COOPERATING AND SO FOR NOW, THIS SPRAWLING INVESTIGATION CONTINUES.

42:09

Speaker A

CRAIG? ALL RIGHT, RAF SANCHEZ FOR US. THANK YOU. > NOW TO A BIG SHAKE-UP IN THE NFL.

42:14

Speaker A

THE BUFFALO BILLS YESTERDAY FIRING THEIR LONG TIME HEAD COACH SEAN McDERMOTT. IT COMES AFTER BUFFALO'S HEART BREAKING PLAYOFF LOSS TO DENVER LAST WEEKEND.

42:24

Speaker A

McDERMOTT COACHED THE BILLS FOR NINE SEASONS, TAKING THE TEAM TO THE PLAYOFFS EIGHT TIMES.

42:29

Speaker A

SEAN McDERMOTT WILL NOT BE OUT OF A B. NOT AT ALL. HOW ABOUT THE RAIDERS?

42:36

Speaker A

WE'LL TAKE HIM. THE BAR IN LAS VEGAS IS WAY DOWN HERE. IF HE CAN GET TO 500 -- > ON "POPSTART," AN INTERESTING TAKE FROM MATT DAMON HOW STREAMING AND WATCHING MOVIES ON OUR PHONE IS CHANGING HOLLYWOOD.

42:48

Speaker A

> FIRST, VICKY NGUYEN IS HERE TO HELP US COPE WITH A COMMON COMPLAINT THESE DAYS, THE RISING COSTS OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.

42:57

Speaker A

HEY, VIC. NEW YEAR, NEW PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS BECAUSE YOUR DEDUCTIBLES HAVE RESET OR MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE > BACK AT 8:14.

43:14

Speaker A

WE'RE HELPING YOU MANAGE THE SOARING COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. YEAH, TOP OF MIND FOR A LOT OF FOLKS RIGHT NOW.

43:20

Speaker A

THE LIST PRICE ON HUNDREDS OF MEDICATIONS IS INCREASING THIS YEAR WITH A TYPICAL HIKE OF ABOUT 4%.

43:26

Speaker A

THE GOOD NEWS, THOUGH, THERE ARE SOME STRATEGIES TO HELP LOWER THE COSTS. WHETHER YOU HAVE INSURANCE OR PAY OUT OF POCKET.

43:32

Speaker A

IT IS GOOD NEWS. HERE TO SHOW US HOW IS NBC'S CHIEF CONSUMER INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT VICKY NGUYEN.

43:42

Speaker A

HOW YOU CAN SAVE IF YOU HAVE INSURANCE PLANS, HOW TO SIFT THROUGH THAT AND SAVE WITH THE BEST DEALS ON MEDICATIONS.

43:50

Speaker A

MAYBE YOUR DEDUCTIBLES RESET OR YOU HAVE A NEW INSURANCE PLAN. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHICH ARE THE PHARMACIES IN YOUR NETWORK.

43:56

Speaker A

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE INSURANCE WEBSITE, CALL THE 1- 800 NUMBER ON THE BACK OF THE CLUB AND CALL YOUR LOCAL PHARMACIES.

44:05

Speaker A

SOMETIMES IT IS CHEAPER TO PAY FOR YOUR MEDICINES OUT OF POCKET, EVEN HAD YOU HAVE INSURANCE, YOU NEED TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND ASK.

44:10

Speaker A

AND ALSO GO TO THE WEBSITE OF THE DRUGMAKER, USUALLY THERE ARE SOME COUPONS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE STARTING A NEW MEDICINE THAT CAN HELP OFFSET THE COSTS.

44:18

Speaker A

OKAY. SOMETIMES I FOUND THE PHARMACY THAT THEY'LL GIVE YOU A COUPON TOO. YES. ALWAYS ASK.

44:22

Speaker A

THE PHARMACIST. THAT'S A GOOD TIP. WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE INSURANCE VIC? A LOT OF FOLKS SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE -- THEY CAN'T AFFORD INSURANCE.

44:31

Speaker A

27 MILLION PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE IN THIS COUNTRY AND THAT'S PROBABLY A LOW ESTIMATE ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT CENSUS DATA.

44:37

Speaker A

THAT NUMBER IS LIKELY TO GO UP THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND THE SUBSIDIES THAT HAVE EXPIRED.

44:42

Speaker A

AND SO, WHAT YOU DO NEED TO DO IS AT THE VERY BEGINNING, WHEN YOUR DOCTOR IS PRESCRIBING YOU A NEW MEDICINE OR YOU CALL YOUR DOCTOR NOW OR GO TO THE PHARMACIST AND YOU SAY, IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE THAT IS AS

44:53

Speaker A

EFFECTIVE? IS THERE A GENERIC? IS THERE SOMETHING THAT IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE FOR ME?

44:57

Speaker A

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, YOU HAVE TO NEGOTIATE THE PRICES OF YOUR MEDICINE AND YOU CAN SHOP AROUND AND YOU CAN FIND DEALS.

45:06

Speaker A

IT TAKES SOME WORK BUT IT IS DOABLE. ALSO, CHECK OUT THIS WEBSITE, GOOD RX, A SITE THAT HAS A LOT OF COUPONS.

45:12

Speaker A

IT ALLOWS YOU TO COMPARE THE PRICE OF YOUR MEDICINE ACROSS CVS, WALGREENS, IF YOU'RE A MEMBER OF COSTCO, CHECK WITH THEM.

45:19

Speaker A

SOME OF THEIR MEDICINE PRICES ARE LOW. MARK CUBAN HAS THIS WEBSITE, HAD IT FOR YEARS NOW, COST PLUS DRUGS.

45:24

Speaker A

IT DOESN'T HAVE ALL OF THE DRUGS OUT THERE, BUT IF YOU CAN FIND YOUR MEDICINE THERE, THE COST WILL BE MUCH, MUCH LOWER.

45:29

Speaker A

AND THEN IF YOU GO TO YOUR DRUGMAKER, A LOT OF THEM HAVE A DIRECT TO CONSUMER CASH PRICE.

45:35

Speaker A

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, ABBVIE, LILLY PFIZER. THERE IS SO MUCH IN THE NEWS NOW ABOUT HEALTHCARE POLICY.

45:45

Speaker A

CAN YOU SIFT THROUGH IT FOR US, LIKE, MAYBE WHAT CONSUMERS REALLY NEED TO KNOW.

45:49

Speaker A

LET'S START WITH THE GOOD NEWS. IF YOU'RE ON MEDICARE, IF YOU HAVE SEEN THE PRICES OF TEN POPULAR DRUGS GO DOWN 40% TO 80% THANKS TO THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT, THINGS LIKE ELIQUIS, JARDIANCE, A POPULAR DIABETES MEDICINE, TRUMP HAS

46:13

Speaker A

NEGOTIATED SOME DEALS FOR THOSE POPULAR GLP-1 DRUGS LIKE WEGOVY AND ZEPBOUND TO LOWER PRICES IF YOU'RE PAYING CASH.

46:21

Speaker A

THE WEBSITE IS SUPPOSED TO LAUNCH SOMETIME EARLY THIS YEAR. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF SPECIFICS, WE DON'T HAVE A FULL LIST OF THE MEDICINES THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

46:28

Speaker A

WE TALKED WITH HEALTH EXPERTS WHO SAY, LOOK, IF YOU HAVE INSURANCE, PROBABLY NOT GOING TO MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR YOU, BUT FOR SOMEONE UNINSURED OR WANTS TO PAY CASH OUT OF POCKET, YOU COULD SEE DRAMATICALLY LOWER PRICES.

46:39

Speaker A

I MEAN, THE REALITY IS, VIC, LIKE, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD THEIR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS RIGHT NOW.

46:45

Speaker A

RIGHT. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A DRUG, AND YOU NEED THE DRUG, WHAT CAN YOU DO?

46:49

Speaker A

WHAT ARE YOUR -- WHAT IS YOUR RECOURSE? PLEASE DON'T RATION THOSE DRUGS CRAIG. THERE ARE RESOURCES.

46:54

Speaker A

CHECK WITH THE LOCAL AND STATE PROGRAMS IN YOUR AREA. YOU DO HAVE TO BE PROACTIVE.

46:58

Speaker A

YOU HAVE TO ASK QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF. BUT THERE ARE ALSO NONPROFITS AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL HELP FUND THOSE MEDICINES THAT YOU NEED.

47:10

Speaker A

START AT NEEDY MEDS.ORG, A SEARCH TOOL THAT CAN HELP YOU FIGURE OUT WHICH ORGANIZATIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA .

47:19

Speaker A

IF YOU'RE IN THE HOSPITAL, ASK FOR THE PATIENT FINANCIAL NAVIGATOR. THAT IS A PERSON, JUST BE STRAIGHT WITH THEM, I NEED HELP COVERING THESE MEDICINES AND I'M GOING TO NEED WHEN I LEAVE THE HOSPITAL, WHAT CAN I DO?

47:29

Speaker A

AND THEN, FINALLY, IF YOU GO TO THE MANUFACTURER AND YOU ARE UNDER INSURED OR UNINSURED, THEY WILL ALSO HAVE PROGRAMS THAT CAN DISCOUNT OR PROVIDE THAT MEDICINE TO YOU FOR FREE.

47:38

Speaker A

YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT -- YOU HAVE TO QUALIFY. IT BEARS REPEATING, DON'T GO WITHOUT YOUR DRUGS.

47:43

Speaker A

DON'T GO WITHOUT YOUR DRUGS. DON'T RATION. LAST QUESTION, QUICKLY, CAN YOU GET A BETTER DEAL AT ONE PHARMACY VERSUS ANOTHER?

47:49

Speaker A

100%. IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS WAY. DRUG PRICING IS SO NOT TRANSPARENT. I THOUGHT IT WAS STANDARD.

47:55

Speaker A

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. IT IS NOT STANDARD IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. IT BEHOOVES YOU TO ASK, TO NEGOTIATE, AND SOMETIMES ASK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PRICES AND SHOP AROUND.

48:03

Speaker A

GOOD ADVICE. GREAT TIPS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR. ROKER, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT OVER THERE, GOOD SIR?

48:08

Speaker A

LOTS OF COLD AIR. LAKE-EFFECT SNOW ON THE LEEWARD SIDE OF THE GREAT LAKES GOING TO BE A MESS.

48:14

Speaker A

FIRE RISK CONTINUING IN THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. AN DON'T FORGET, CHECK US OUT, "TODAY" SHOW, SIRIUS RADIO, BUT RIGHT NOW THE BEST PART OF THE MORNING.

48:31

Speaker A

SPOTIFY, WHAT IS OLD IS NEW AGAIN. IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD, AUGUST THINGS 2016 ARE BACK.

48:37

Speaker A

ACCORDING TO SPOTIFY, THERE HAS BEEN AN 800% INCREASE IN USER GENERATED 2016 PLAY LISTS SINCE JANUARY 1st.

48:44

Speaker A

TOP TRACKS INCLUDE "LET ME LOVE YOU," "LEAN ON ME," "LUSH LIFE," ANOTHER BIEBER SONG "SORRY" AND "ONE DANCE." WHAT WAS THE TOP SONG ON BILLBOARD'S CHART BACK A DECADE AGO?

49:03

Speaker A

HERE IT IS. ♪ YOU LIKE THE WAY YOU LOOK THAT MUCH YOU SHOULD GO AND LOVE YOURSELF ♪ A LITTLE PLAZA THROWBACK.

49:14

Speaker A

IT WAS A BIG YEAR FOR JUSTIN BIEBER, RANKED NUMBER ONE JUST A DECADE AGO.

49:19

Speaker A

SPEAKING OF THE PLAZA THROWBACKS, UP NEXT, HILARY DUFF. THERE IS SOME MOMENTS IN "TODAY" SHOW CONCERT HISTORY THAT LIVE ON FOREVER.

49:27

Speaker A

THERE IS FERGIE'S FLIPS AND WE HAD RICKY MARTIN, THAT MASSIVE CROWD, ONE OF THE BIGGEST WE EVER HAD.

49:33

Speaker A

AND NOW THERE IS THIS HILARY DUFF DANCE. OKAY. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

49:57

Speaker A

SO HILARY JUST PERFORMED HER FIRST HEADLINING SHOW, IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 20 YEARS AND DURING HER CONCERT IN LONDON, THE CROWD WENT CRAZY WHEN SHE INVITED A FEW FANS ON STAGE TO DO THE ICONIC WITH LOVE DANCE WITH HER.

50:12

Speaker A

HER NEXT STOP ON HER SOLD OUT TOUR IS HEADED TO TORONTO BEFORE SHE MAKES HER WAY STATESIDE NEXT WEEK.

50:18

Speaker A

PRETTY COOL. NEXT UP, SPHERE, THE VEGAS VENUE, ONLY OPENED UP A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT IS BECOMING A MUST SEE ATTRACTION THANKS TO ITS IMMERSIVE SHOW, SHOWS LIKE THE REIMAGINING OF WIZARD OZ.

50:31

Speaker A

♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE MONKEYS MIGHT BE FLYING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

50:45

Speaker A

SPHERE ENTERTAINMENT WORKING ON A NEW STRUCTURE SET TO OPEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. IN THE METRO AREA.

50:50

Speaker A

THE PLANS ARE FOR A BIT SMALLER SCALED DESIGN OF SPHERE. AROUND 6,000 SEATS INSIDE THE VENUE COMPARED TO THE ONE IN VEGAS THAT HOLDS 18,000.

50:59

Speaker A

A FEW YEARS, THE DMV WILL HAVE THE SPHERE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT AMAZING WASHINGTON COMMANDERS STADIUM.

51:06

Speaker A

HOW IS THAT GOING TO FIT INTO THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES? WHEN YOU SAY DMV, MOST PEOPLE THINK -- L D.C., MARYLAND, VIRGINIA.

51:17

Speaker A

IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW. IN A RECENT CONVERSATION ON JOE ROGAN'S PODCAST, MATT REVEALING HOW WRITING SCRIPTS FOR STREAMING IS A DIFFERENT BALL GAME THAN FOR THE THEATER.

51:29

Speaker A

THE STANDARD WAY TO MAKE AN ACTION MOVIE THAT WE LEARNED WAS YOU USUALLY HAVE LIKE THREE SET PIECES, ONE IN THE FIRST ACT, ONE IN THE SECOND, ONE IN THE THIRD.

51:37

Speaker A

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU -- THEY RAMP UP AND THE BIG ONE WITH ALL THE EXPLOSIONS AND YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR MONEY IN THAT ONE IN THE THIRLD THIRD ACT, THAT'S THE FINALE.

51:46

Speaker A

NOW, THEY'RE, LIKE, CAN WE GET A BIG ONE IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES TO GET -- WE WANT PEOPLE TO STAY.

51:52

Speaker A

AND WOULDN'T BE TERRIBLE IF YOU REITERATED THE PLOT THREE OR FOUR TIMES AND THE DIALOGUE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ON THEIR PHONES WHILE THEY'RE WATCHING.

52:00

Speaker A

THAT'S CRAZY. CHANGE THE WAY YOU PRODUCE THE MOVIES. WOW. REMEMBER THE OLD JAMES BOND MOVIES, THOSE ALWAYS STARTED OUT, THE MOST INCREDIBLE ACTION SCENES.

52:11

Speaker A

007. WE HAVE NO ATTENTION SPAN. FINALLY, LUKE COMBS, OUR BUDDY WILLIE HOSTED ANOTHER SUNDAY SIT-DOWN LIVE LAST NIGHT IN NASHVILLE WITH COUNTRY MUSIC STAR LUKE.

52:20

Speaker A

HE WAS HIS GUEST. CMA ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR OPENING UP ABOUT THE GROWING POPULARITY OF COUNTRY MUSIC.

52:26

Speaker A

YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER GROWING UM UP AS A KID, YOU ASKED SOMEBODY WHAT KIND OF MUSIC THEY LIKE, I LIKE ANYTHING BUT COUNTRY IS THE ANSWER PEOPLE WOULD SAY.

52:35

Speaker A

THAT ALWAYS BLEW MY MIND A LITTLE BIT. LIKE, MAN, IT IS LIKE SAYING YOU DON'T LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC IS LIKE SAYING YOU DON'T LIKE BREAD.

52:41

Speaker A

THERE IS SO OM," THE LATEST SIN OFF HIS UPCOMING ALBUM. ♪♪ ♪ LYING HERE NEXT TO YOU ♪ A GREAT EVENING AT CITY WINERY, NASHVILLE, THE VENUE SPONSOR.

53:15

Speaker A

LUKE'S NEW ALBUM "THE WAY I AM" DROPS MARCH 20th AND THAT INTERVIEW AIRS NEXT SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1st.

53:24

Speaker A

BE SURE TO CHECK THAT OUT. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON IT? COUNTRY MUSIC? I LOVE IT.

53:28

Speaker A

HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE? MORE POPULAR? THE MOST POPULAR FORM. YOU LOOK BACK INTO THE '70s, YOU LOOK ON THE AMERICAN TOP 40, COUNTRY MUSIC WAS PART OF THE TOP 30 EVEN BACK THEN.

53:39

Speaker A

TEXAS OR KANSAS. SOUTH CAROLINA. YEAH. I THINK THE DEFINITION OF COUNTRY HAS DEFINITELY EXPANDED.

53:45

Speaker A

DEPENDS WHO YOU ASK. THERE ARE PURISTS OUT THERE, LIKE, BLAKE, WHO MIGHT HAVE AN OPINION ON WHAT COUNTRY MUSIC SHOULD BE AND THERE IS OTHER PEOPLE WHO SAY, IT IS EVOLVED OF LIKE ALL OF US.

53:53

Speaker A

THAT WAS THE ANALYSIS I WANTED. GOOD TIME. MORE IN THE BREAK, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I REALLY THINK.

53:58

Speaker A

YOU CAN EXPLAIN THE DMV THING. STILL AHEAD, THE WEATHER OUTSIDE MAY BE FRIGHTFUL. BUT YOUR SKIN DOESN'T HAVE TO ♪♪ > WE ARE BACK AT 8:30 ON A TUESDAY MORNING.

54:20

Speaker A

IT IS A COLD ONE TODAY. BUT WE HAVE A HUGE CROWD FILLED WITH SMILING FACES OUT HERE ON THE PLAZA.

54:26

FAIR ENOUGH. ALSO COMING UP, FOCUS ON A KEY TOOL ON "TODAY" FOOD FROM SEASONING TO CLEANING, HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF YOU'RE TAKING PROPER CARE OF YOUR CAST IRON SKILLET?

55:13

Speaker A

ARE YOU DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY? WE HAVE ERICA KIM FROM "THE NEW YORK TIMES" HERE TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS.

55:19

I KNEW IT WAS COMING. SOME SORT OF BIRD SOUND. WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL GUEST OUT HERE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF THE CHEERS YOU MAY HEAR.

55:38

Speaker A

THE ONE, THE ONLY CHANNING TATUM. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. SORRY IT IS SO COLD.

55:44

Speaker A

YOU HAVE SOME NEWS THAT MIGHT HEAT US UP A LITTLE. I'M HOPING. I'M HOPING.

55:50

Speaker A

YEAH. I'M SO EXCITED. WE'RE BACK HERE IN NEW YORK WHERE EVERYTHING STARTED FOR ME.

55:58

Speaker A

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR TEN YEARS NOW, GONE ALL OVER WORLD AND BRINGING MAGIC MIKE LIVE TO NEW YORK CITY.

56:01

Speaker A

MAGIC MIKE LIVE. LET'S GO! AND YOU'RE BRINGING IT BACK TO NEW YORK CITY. WHAT IS IT ABOUT NEW YORK CITY THAT YOU LOVE?

56:07

Speaker A

LOOK, IT HAS GOT THE -- I CAME HERE TO FOLLOW DREAMS. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PLACE IS FOR ME.

56:13

Speaker A

I LOVE NEW YORK. YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING IN THE WORLD HERE. AND I DON'T KNOW, JUST LIKE THE HEART OF HEARTS FOR ME.

56:18

Speaker A

YOU CAN FIND THREE OR FOUR OF EVERYTHING HERE. EVEN WHAT YOU WEREN'T LOOKING FOR.

56:26

Speaker A

AND GREAT NEWS FOR FOLKS ON THE PLAZA TOO, RIGHT? EVERYBODY HERE AT THE PLAZA GETS A PAIR OF TICKETS.

56:34

Speaker A

56:46

Speaker A

MAGIC MIKE LIVE, I HEAR THERE ARE ACROBATICS, AN AMAZING SHOW. HE'S STICKING AROUND. HE'LL TELL US MORE ABOUT THE SHOW, MIGHT NEED TO GET A LITTLE -- A LITTLE PERFORMANCE OF IT COMING UP.

56:55

Speaker A

HE'S ACTUALLY ANNOUNCING THAT CRAIG, CARSON AND I ARE GOING TO BE IN MAGIC MIKE.

57:00

Speaker A

NO, NO. CHEER FOR THAT. NO ONE WOULD COME AND SEE THAT. ACTUALLY, THEY WOULD PAY -- PAY US TO LEAVE.

57:09

Speaker A

AL WANTS TO BE IN MAGIC MIKE. COME ON. LET'S GO. I'LL GET YOU RIGHT UP THERE.

57:19

Speaker A

ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEE A BODY ROLL, AL. COME ON. LET'S GO. LET'S WARM IT UP.

57:25

Speaker A

UNFORTUNATELY, THE NAME JELLY ROLL ALREADY HAS BEEN TAKEN. ANYWAY. LET'S SHOW YOU WHAT WE GOT GOING.

57:32

Speaker A

I'M SORRY. YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA, FOR THAT IMAGE. TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT BLUSTERY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.

57:40

Speaker A

OUT WEST, NICE AND WARM. COOL DOWN SOUTH. WE GET TO THE END OF THE WEEK, LAKE EFFECT MACHINE CRANKING UP.

57:46

Speaker A

PLENTY OF SUN OUT WEST. BY THE END OF THE WEEK, WE HAVE THAT WEST COAST STORM DEVELOPING AND IT IS GOING TO HEAD SOUTH AND IT COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM.

57:54

Speaker A

THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THE COUNTRY. AND THAT'S YOUR LATEST WEATHER. IS THAT ALL WE HAVE FOR TODAY?

58:05

Speaker A

I THINK I PULLED SOMETHING. UP NEXT, DOES THE COLD OF WINTER HAVE YOUR SKIN LOOKING LESS THAN ITS BEST?

58:12

Speaker A

HAVE NO FEAR. DR. HENRY IS HERE WITH SIMPLE SOLUTIONS THAT WILL HAVE YOU BUT, FIRST, THIS IS "TODAY" ON NBC.

58:27

Speaker A

> WE ARE BACK AT 8:37 WITH YOUR HEALTH. WINTER WEATHER LIKE THIS WREAKS BRUTAL COLD JUST DOESN'T DRY YOU OUT, IT CAN CAUSE REAL DAMAGE FROM HEAD TO TOE.

58:36

Speaker A

THANKFULLY WE HAVE DR. MICHELLE HENRY, A "TODAY" CONTRIBUTOR AND NEW YORK-BASED DERMATOLOGIST HERE, WITH EXPERT TIPS TO WINTERIZE YOUR SKIN.

58:44

Speaker A

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. LET'S DIG RIGHT IN. FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE SUNSCREEN HERE.

58:48

Speaker A

I HAVE TO BE HONEST, I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT IN THE WINTERTIME. OH, NO.

58:53

Speaker A

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, THE SUN RAYS DON'T GO AWAY ON WINTER VACATION.

58:59

Speaker A

IT CAN BE WORSE. I THINK WE ASSOCIATE IT WITH FRANKLY HEAT. NO, NO. WHEN IT SNOWS, DAYS LIKE TODAY, YOU'RE REFLECTING THE LIGHT.

59:07

Speaker A

YOU'RE GETTING EVEN MORE. YOU'RE DOUBLE DIPPING WHEN IT IS SNOWING. WHEN YOU'RE SKIING, THE HIGHER UP YOU ARE -- THAT MAKES SENSE.

59:14

Speaker A

10% MORE. PACK ON THE SUNSCREEN. WE HAVE FAVORITES HERE. I LOVE THIS ONE BY LAROCHE POSAY, IT WORKS FOR EVERYONE.

59:22

Speaker A

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES, I WEAR IT EVERY SINGLE DAY, IT HAS A LITTLE LACTIC ACID IN IT.

59:28

Speaker A

IF YOU'RE PRONE TO BREAKING OUT, ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. AND THEN ONE IS SO YUMMY. THIS IS A STICK, IT IS EASY TO USE, IT IS GLAMOROUS, MOST DELICIOUS TEXTURE, ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES.

59:41

Speaker A

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM SPF YOU RECOMMEND? 30 FOR DAILY USE. 50 IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, APPLY EVERY TWO HOURS.

59:48

Speaker A

YOU TALK ABOUT LAYERING AND HOW THAT'S IMPORTANT. YES, LAYERING IS SO IMPORTANT. WE LAYER OUR CLOTHES FOR OPTIMAL WARMTH DURING THE WINTER, THE WINTER AIR IS A MOISTURE VAMPIRE.

59:59

Speaker A

WE NEED TO LAYER TO HAVE OPTIMAL MOISTURIZATION. WE START OFF WITH SOMETHING LIKE A HUMECTEN SERUM.

60:13

Speaker A

THIS HAS HIALURANIC ACID. ALL THE BARRIER CREMES HAVE CERAMIDES, FATTY ACIDS. FILL IN ALL THE CRACKS.

60:24

Speaker A

DOES IT WORK TOGETHER? I THOUGHT USING A SERUM AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SECOND.

60:31

Speaker A

THE BEST ONES ABSORB QUICKLY. GET YOUR LAYER ON, RIGHT? THESE ARE GOING TO FILL IN THOSE CRACKS BETWEEN YOUR SKIN, SO IT FUNCTIONS OPTIMALLY, TO FORTIFY AND STRENGTHEN IT.

60:42

Speaker A

WHEN YOU'RE REALLY DRY, VASELINE. OLD SCHOOL. OLD SCHOOL IS PERFECT. IT HELPS TO LOCK EVERYTHING IN SO YOU HOLD THE MOISTURE.

60:50

Speaker A

WHAT ABOUT FOR PEOPLE WHO WORRY ABOUT BREAKING OUT WITH ALL THE LAYERS? YOU HAVE TO USE THE RIGHT PRODUCT.

60:56

Speaker A

VASELINE IS NOT CAMEDOGENIC, IT DOES NOT CLOG YOUR PORES. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT HERE, YOU SAY IT IS NOT JUST YOUR FACE THAT NEEDS A LITTLE TLC.

61:09

Speaker A

YOUR HANDS. I SEE A LOT OF HAND ECZEMA. WINTER IS HAND ECZEMA. IT IS THE PERFECT STORM.

61:15

Speaker A

COLD AIR, HOT WATER, ALCOHOL SANITIZERS, AND OUR HANDS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OIL GLANDS. I LOVE THESE HAND CREAMS.

61:22

Speaker A

THEY'RE TINY, ONE IN YOUR POCKET, ONE IN YOUR PURSE, ONE AT YOUR DESK, AND THEN MY FAVORITE IS THE OVERNIGHT GLOVE TIPS.

61:30

Speaker A

I LOVE TO PUT A NICE CREAMY MOISTURIZER ON MY HANDS, I PUT ON A NICE GLOVE.

61:35

Speaker A

LEAVE THEM ON AT NIGHT. LEAVE THEM ON AT NIGHT. NICE AND SOFT. I DID IT LAST NIGHT AS YOU CAN SEE HERE.

61:40

Speaker A

IF YOU FEEL MY HANDS, THEY'RE MUCH SOFTER THAN YESTEROH, YEAH. SINGLE THINGS YOU CAN BUY IN THE STORE THAT HAVE THE KIDS.

61:51

Speaker A

I LOVE THESE. THE GEL-LINED ONES LOCK IT IN. TALK ABOUT SKINCARE PACKAGING AND WHAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR.

61:56

Speaker A

EMBRACE THE JAR. IF YOU LOOK IN HERE, A JAR IS MEANT TO HOLD A VERY THICK CREAM.

62:02

Speaker A

THIS IS NOT GOING TO COME OUT OF A PUMP, RIGHT? YOU WANT A THICK CREAM, SCOOP THAT UP, LAYER IT ALL OVER YOUR BODY, IT WILL GIVE YOU THE ADDITIONAL MOISTURE.

62:10

Speaker A

EMBRACE THE JAR. IT HAS LESS WATER AND MORE OIL. THAT'S CRITICAL. AND IF YOU CAN'T READ THE HARD TO REACH PLACES OR CAN'T REACH THEM, A BACK APPLICATOR IS PERFECT.

62:20

Speaker A

USE ONE OF THOSE. A LOT OF MY PATIENTS COME IN, WIFE IS TRAVELING, NO ONE TO PUT THEIR MOISTURIZER ON THEIR BACK, DO IT YOURSELF.

62:29

Speaker A

WE'RE OUT OF TIME. BUT A HUMIDIFIER WAS THE LAST ONE. GOOD ADVICE, DR. HENRY, THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS.

62:35

Speaker A

CRAIG? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. > COMING UP, EVEN MORE BRIGHT IDEAS, BECKIE STRUM IS HERE.

62:40

Speaker A

BECKIE IS ABOUT TO GUIDE US THROUGH THE YEAR'S NEW AND SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTED TRENDS WHEN > AND WELCOME BACK.

62:56

Speaker A

IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT HOME DECOR LOOKS LIKE IN 2026, WE HAVE YOU COVERED, FROM LIGHTING, COLORS, TEXTURES TO THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A HOUSE FEEL LIKE A HOME.

63:06

Speaker A

BECKIE STRUM FROM MANSION GLOBAL HERE TO BREAK DOWN THE YEAR'S HOTTEST TRENDS. GOOD MORNING.

63:15

Speaker A

WELCOME TO THE "TODAY" SHOW. THIS IS MY FAVORITE, ANALOG JOY. EXPLAIN THAT. THIS IS ABOUT UNPLUGGING AND SLOWING DOWN.

63:24

Speaker A

IT IS ABOUT CARVING OUT A SPACE IN THE HOME, A DEN OR FAMILY ROOM, WHERE YOU REMOVE OF THE SCREENS.

63:28

Speaker A

IT IS NOVEL, YOU REMOVE THE SCREENS AND REPLACE IT WITH THINGS TO CONNECT WITH FAMILY.

63:33

Speaker A

SO, EVERY HOUSEHOLD IT WILL LOOK DIFFERENT. SOME PEOPLE WILL BE PUTTING A ROUND TABLE AND CHAIRS FOR BOARD GAMES, SCRABBLE, MAYBE IT IS SETTING UP A PUZZLE FOR THE FAMILY.

63:43

Speaker A

OTHERS ARE GOING TO LINE A WALL WITH BOOK SHELVES AND CREATE A BEAUTIFUL SEATING AREA TO SIT AND READ TOGETHER AND STILL OTHERS MAYBE WANT A MORE ENERGETIC LAYOUT AND THEY WANT A PING-PONG TABLE OR BILLIARDS.

63:54

Speaker A

I LIKE THAT. STATEMENT STONES AND BOLD MATERIALS ARE A THING FOR 2026? THE MINIMALIST KITCHEN, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT, IS OUT.

64:04

Speaker A

WE HAVE TO REDO OUR KITCHEN. SO, WE'RE THINKING ABOUT OLIVES, STONE THAT IS PURPLE, PLUM, MAYBE THE VEINING IS DRAMATIC AND BUSY.

64:16

Speaker A

AND THAT IS A PRACTICAL PURPOSE AS WELL. BECAUSE THAT BEAUTIFUL MARBLE IS LOVELY, BUT IT CHIPS EASILY AND IT STAINS EASILY AND IT IS A HANDFUL TO TAKE CARE OF.

64:27

Speaker A

HAVING SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE FORGIVING IS GOOD FOR ALL OF US. NEXT TREND IS ALL ABOUT CLASSICAL DESIGN, SOMETHING CALLED HERITAGE DESIGN?

64:35

Speaker A

HERITAGE DESIGN. THIS IS ABOUT PUTTING THE FOCUS OF OUR INTERIORS ON THE LITTLE ARCHITECTURAL EMBELLISHMENTS INSTEAD OF THE FAST FASHION OF FURNITURE.

64:43

Speaker A

THIS MEANS ADDING WANES COATING, A LOVELY BENCH UNDER A WINDOW OR A NICHE AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY FOR A DESIGN MOMENT, IT IS ABOUT LAYERING THINGS THAT MAKE A HOME FEEL POLISHED AND A LITTLE BIT NOSTALGIC FROM THE

65:00

Speaker A

PAST. PERSONAL ART AND STORYTELLING. THIS SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER -- THIS IS MY FAVORITE. I THINK THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS JUST TO TAKE A PIECE OF ART WORK FROM YOUR KID AND PUT IT IN AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FRAME

65:09

Speaker A

AND IT ADDS SO MUCH WHIMSY TO A ROOM. THIS IS ALL ABOUT WHAT I LIKE TO CALL ANTI-A.I. DESIGN.

65:17

Speaker A

ANYTHING HUMAN MADE. QUILTS ARE AN AMAZING EXAMPLE OF THIS. NOTHING MAKES A ROOM FEEL WARMER THAN A QUILT THAT SOMEONE HAS SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY ON.

65:25

Speaker A

THE THINGS THAT HANG ON OUR WALLS SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING. THEY SHOULD ABSOLUTELY MEAN SOMETHING.

65:29

Speaker A

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LIGHTING. LIGHTING BY DESIGN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? THIS IS HONESTLY A WELLNESS TREND AS MUCH AS A DESIGN TREND.

65:38

Speaker A

PEOPLE ARE LEARNING THAT THAT HARSH BLUE LIGHT MESSES UP OUR SLEEP, OUR CIRCADIAN RHYTHM.

65:47

Speaker A

IT IS ABOUT REMOVING THE HARSH OVERHEAD CAM LIGHTING AND LAYERING LAMPS, FLOOR LAMPS, SCONCES, TABLE LAMPS TO KEEP IT ALL BELOW EYE LEVEL, ESPECIALLY IN ROOMS BEFORE WE WIND DOWN FOR THE EVENING.

65:58

Speaker A

SO, THE FAMILY ROOM, THE LIVING ROOM, THE BEDROOM, ESPECIALLY. WE WANT THAT LIGHTING TO BE BELOW OUR EYES, WHICH SIGNALS TO US THAT IT IS TIME TO REST.

66:09

Speaker A

OH. DO AWAY WITH THE HARSH OVERHEADS? GET THEM OUT OF YOUR HOUSE AND REPLACE THEM WITH LAYERED LIGHTING THAT IS SOFT AND MAKES IT FEEL BETTER WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT IN 2026.

66:18

Speaker A

BECKIE, THANK YOU. FIRST TIME ON THE SHOW, YOU CRUSHED IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

66:22

Speaker A

MR. DALY. GREAT JOB, BECKIE. > WE GOT ERIC KIM HERE, OUR BUDDY, FOOD EXPERT FROM "THE NEW YORK TIMES," HE'S GOING TO ANSWER YOUR SEARING QUESTIONS ABOUT A VERY VALUABLE TOOL IN ANY KITCHEN.

66:32

Speaker A

THAT'S > WE ARE BACK WITH "TODAY" FOOD. WE'RE FOCUSING ON CAST IRON SKILLETS. AND THE BEST WAY TO USE AND CARE FOR THEM.

66:47

Speaker A

"NEW YORK TIMES" FOOD COLUMNIST ERIC KIM IS HERE TO TELL US ALL OF HIS SIZZLING SECRETS AND A DELICIOUS SKILLET PORK CHOP TO COME.

66:54

Speaker A

I CAN SAY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU, ERIC. I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU. YOU WERE IN OCTOBER MAKING SOME PASTA FOR US.

66:59

Speaker A

GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. LET'S START WITH THE SKILLET.

67:02

Speaker A

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT? YOU CAN SEAR MEAT AND YOU CAN MAKE BREAD IN IT.

67:06

Speaker A

I LOVE THE SKILLET. IT IS SUCH A VERSATILE PAN. THE CAST IRON SKILLET IS ONE PIECE OF METAL.

67:12

Speaker A

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE IT. IT IS A NICE PAN THAT GROWS WITH YOU AS YOU COOK THROUGH YOUR LIFE.

67:18

Speaker A

ALL SKILLETS AREN'T CREATED EQUAL. HOW DO YOU KNOW TO FIND A GOOD ONE? THIS IS LODGE?

67:23

Speaker A

THIS IS A GOOD COMPANY, A GREAT COMPANY, THERE IS LOTS OF DIFFERENT ONES OUT THERE.

67:27

Speaker A

I HAVE TO SAY WITH CAST IRON, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TOO EXPENSIVE. IT IS REALLY JUST A PIECE OF METAL.

67:32

Speaker A

I THINK COOKING IS NOT AS DIFFICULT AS PEOPLE MAKE IT OUT TO BE. I THINK IN THE PAST PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COOKING WITH CAST IRON FOR GENERATIONS.

67:41

Speaker A

THIS GOES WAY BACK TO THE CAMPFIRE AND THE ORIGINAL ONE POT. WHAT ARE YOU MAKING FOR US TODAY?

67:47

Speaker A

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A PORK CHOP THAT GETS SEARED IN THE CAST IRON. ONE TIP I LOVE TO TELL PEOPLE, TO MAKE THE CAST IRON NONSTICK, HEAT IT FIRST.

67:55

Speaker A

AND THEN YOU ADD THE OIL. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. A LOT OF SEASONING GOING ON WITH THESE THINGS.

68:01

Speaker A

DO YOU HAVE TO DO ANYTHING BEFORE YOU START COOKING WITH YOUR CAST IRON? DO YOU PULL IT OUT -- YOU'RE SUGGESTING SOME OIL.

68:06

Speaker A

YOU CAN START COOKING WITH IT RIGHT AWAY. THE ONE THING IS TO SEASON IT, WHICH IS WIPING THE PAN WITH OIL AND PUTTING IT IN THE OVEN IN LIKE A 350 DEGREE OVEN UNTIL IT STARTS TO SMOKE LIKE THIS.

68:17

Speaker A

WHAT THAT IS DOING IS IT IS THE FAT AND THE METAL ARE, LIKE, COMBINING AND FORMING A THIN LAYER AND THAT THIN LAYER IS WHAT MAKES THINGS NONSTICK.

68:25

Speaker A

THIS IS THE BEST APPLICATION FOR THE SKILLET, WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO. YES, SEARING MEAT, A FATTY MEAT LIKE PORK.

68:32

Speaker A

DO YOU COOK WITH CAST IRON? I DO. BUT IT IS INTIMIDATING BECAUSE OF THE CLEANING FACTOR.

68:37

Speaker A

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT WHEN IT IS DONE. TAKE SOME SALT, I LIKE USING COARSE KOSHER SALT, AND WHEN IT IS IN THE DISHWASHER -- NO SOAP AND WATER?

68:49

Speaker A

NO SOAP AND WATER, BUT YOU CAN USE SOAP AND WATER. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID ABOUT THAT.

68:53

Speaker A

SALT AND TAKE A SCRUB AND SCRUB IT DOWN AND RINSE IT. MOST IMPORTANT THING IS CAST IRON RUSTS.

68:59

Speaker A

SO, YOU REALLY -- WHEN IT HITS MOISTURE. SO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS AFTER YOU WASH IT AND DRY IT OFF, TAKE A PAPER TOWEL WITH SOME OIL AND JUST REALLY, REALLY, LIKE, WIPE THE INSIDE WITH IT.

69:11

Speaker A

IF IT IS RUSTY, YOU CAN BRING IT BACK. YOU CAN BRING IT BACK. WASH IT WITH SOAP AND WATER AGAIN AND -- IT IS REALLY THE OIL, YOU KNOW, WIPING IT DOWN, AND MAKING SURE -- YOU'RE KIND OF LUBRICATING IT, LIKE WHEN YOU

69:23

Speaker A

PUT MOISTURIZER ON YOUR FACE IN THE MORNING. A LITTLE PORK CHOP HERE. YOU'RE GOING TO SEAR IT FOR TWO OR THREE MINUTES.

69:28

Speaker A

JUST GOING TO SEAR IT. DO YOU COOK WITH CAST IRON? OH, YEAH. MY MOTHER'S CAST IRON.

69:33

Speaker A

LOVELY. SEE? THAT'S A NICE PIECE TO HAND DOWN. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. IT IS A PIECE OF CAST IRON THAT HAS BEEN SEASONED OVER THE GENERATIONS.

69:40

Speaker A

WE CAN FLIP THAT IF YOU'D LIKE. THAT'S BEEN SEASONED OVER THE GENERATIONS MEANS THAT IT IS GOING TO STAY NONSTICK.

69:48

Speaker A

LIKE A REALLY OLD CAST IRON IS SHINY AND BEAUTIFUL. SO WITH THIS PORK CHOP, I LOVE MAKING A PAN SAUCE.

69:54

Speaker A

LIKE MY LITTLE -- I LIKE A MEAT PRESS. IT MAKES SURE THE SURFACE AREA OF THE MEAT REALLY HITS THE FLAT SURFACE OF THE CAST IRON.

70:04

Speaker A

OKAY. THE SAUCE? THE SAUCE IS AMAZING. I'M GLAD YOU LIKE THE SAUCE. SHASHIMI TOGARASU AND I LIKE TO USE MAPLE SYRUP AND SOY.

70:22

Speaker A

THANK YOU, CARSON. AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH THE PORK CHOP, TAKE THEM OUT AND YOU ADD THAT LIQUID MIXTURE INTO THE PAN.

70:28

Speaker A

AND IT BUBBLES UP IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, LIKE, CHICKEN? YES. YOU CAN USE IT WITH ANYTHING.

70:34

Speaker A

AND I THINK WHAT IS LOVELY ABOUT THIS IS YOU HAVE THIS GORGEOUS SAUCE, AND IT EMULSIFIES WITH THE BUTTER.

70:40

Speaker A

THIS IS MY, LIKE, TRICK. I LOVE HAVING A BUTTERY PAN SAUCE LIKE THIS. AND THEN YOU POUR IT OVER THE PORK CHOP.

70:49

Speaker A

OH, YEAH. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT PORK? I LIKE THE -- THE '70s AND '80s, I THINK OF -- GOD BLESS MY MOTHER, BUT THE PORK CHOPS WERE JUST DEHYDRATED, ONION SOUP, THEY WERE GRAY, BUT NOW YOU CAN COOK

71:05

Speaker A

PORK TO WHAT, THE FINAL TEMPERATURE -- IT CAN BE LIKE A STEAK. IT CAN BE LIKE A STEAK.

71:10

Speaker A

I LOVE THE FAT CAB OF A PORK CHOP. I LOVE CHEWING ON THAT. I LOVE WHEN PORK TASTES LIKE PORK.

71:17

Speaker A

THAT SOUNDS WEIRD, BUT A LITTLE SALT AND PEPPER IN THE PAN SAUCE BRINGS OUT THE FLAVORS IN THE DISH.

71:21

Speaker A

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY SOME? IT IS SO GOOD. YOU'RE GOING TO CARRY IT OVER?

71:28

Speaker A

I LIKE TO DO A LITTLE LIME ZEST AND WHAT THIS DOES IS IT ECHOES THE CITRUS ZEST THAT IS IN THE SAUCE.

71:35
