Hospital Arrival Surprise00:14:54
Bird stories you'll ever hear from a speeding car, or how about a zoo?
I'm still standing up, and he's like, Push!
Plus, so you were charged with battery on an officer.
Real housewife Luann De La Seppes on her messy divorce, arrest, bad behavior, and if she's done with drinking.
Coming up next.
Are you ready to save some lives today?
I love you, Becca.
Today, the craziest burst stories you'll ever hear.
Surprise, caught on tape arrivals.
They're nothing short of amazing.
Now, we got the unforgettable and unexpected burst that will put you in the front seat of the most dramatic first minutes of life.
From a speeding car down a beltway to the most surprising places that you'd never expect someone to have a baby, like a pizzeria or how about a zoo.
Let's take a look at the most unbelievable stories.
It's a race against time.
Following Leisha and John on their way to a Birthing center.
They're not alone.
When it comes to giving birth, the best laid plans sometimes go awry.
In theme parks, fast food restaurants, malls, and big box stores, elevators, and even airplanes, women have given birth in the craziest places.
One woman made it to the hospital, but not to her room, documented in these photos and video that went viral all over the internet.
Back in the car with Leisha, the clock's still ticking.
Now it's looking like Leisha might actually deliver on the highway.
Kamika and Justin's surprise delivery happened at an Omaha zoo.
I got halfway up the hill and my water broke.
I was like, her head, her head.
And he was like, he felt down there.
He was like, oh my God, she's having the baby.
And as for John and Leisha, turns out it was Mother Nature who was in the driver's seat.
Oh my goodness.
The mom who delivered that high speed birth is here in a daytime exclusive.
Leisha, I must say, I've never seen a birth anything close to that.
But before I get to the story, you're pregnant again.
Yes.
We could do it right now on set.
No.
We could retrain it.
Stay tuned at home.
It could happen right here.
So, what's it like watching that video again?
Does it remind you of what it felt like?
A little bit.
It was very scary for me.
I just was really glad he was safe.
I was pretty much in shock, but it just.
So, what actually happened?
Describe that.
I actually, you can't really see in the video, I reached around and I felt his head right there.
So, I was like, oh my word, he's out of me already.
So, I didn't really know what to do.
I was like, I got to push him out.
So.
It is.
So he consciously said, I feel his head.
He can't go back.
And you just bore down, you pushed.
And then.
And then just slid right out.
How'd you make sure you didn't drop him?
Actually, it was kind of.
My pants kind of caught his head.
Oh, yes, your pants are halfway down.
Yeah, because I didn't get them all the way down because I was like, okay, I'm going to do everything.
So I just.
I kind of was glad that his pants were there because it kind of cradled his head until he came on, until I could get a hold of him.
And so that was.
This could be a whole new way of giving birth.
To anyone who goes to the hospital from now on, don't take your pants all the way off.
It's a backup system.
It's a backup plan.
All right, so Josiah is now three years old, and he's here with his dad, Misha's husband, and the driver, John.
Come on out, Josiah and John.
John, how are you?
Can I have Josiah here?
Sure.
How are you, honey?
Say bye, mommy.
You don't remember any of that.
Say bye.
I'm going to come back to you in one second.
But, John, how were you able to record this thing?
So, you had that, you had it, was your phone?
What did you have there?
It was a little GoPro camera, and I tried a few places to set it up on the dash and stuff, and nothing really worked.
I was thinking, even though I kept telling her that we weren't going to have the baby in the car, as she kept on getting further and further into her labor, I was going, there's a possibility.
So, I took it and I set it next to my leg.
Put a couple fingers on it and drove like this, not looking at the camera.
Thank goodness.
All right, there's one other part about this story.
The fact that it really just blows my mind.
But when Josiah came out, you can sort of see in the video that he's a good sized child.
You want to share how big he was?
He was 10 pounds, three ounces.
Yeah.
Imagine giving birth to a 10 pound, three ounce in the highway.
And I got to say, for me, the best part wasn't even that.
The best part is what John said after.
Josiah came out.
Everyone, listen carefully to two very interesting comments that he makes.
Play the video, please.
Oh my gosh!
We just had a baby and we did it!
High five, babe.
I want a honey.
So, I wonder if we still have to pay for using the birth center.
I don't have a honey, baby.
I don't have a honey.
It tells the story perfectly.
Honey, we did it!
The royal we, you're screaming in pain with catching the baby, doing it all yourself.
And what's the wee Kimasabi?
What was that all about?
You know, I had a part in it too.
I got her there.
What'd you say?
Have you liked cars?
No.
You like cars, honey?
Yes.
A little bit?
Yeah.
I do like cars.
I got you a little Oz car.
Say thank you.
Thank you.
Say thank you.
You like that?
Yes.
Say thank you.
He's not as happy as you think.
So, really, what we got you, honey.
Was we got you your own car.
Oh my goodness.
Josiah is going to get to drive his own car.
Oh my goodness.
When you get home in your driveway, you're going to have this car.
And are you going to drive any of your siblings in it?
Yep.
You are?
Yep.
And drive like your father did, very carefully.
Thank you so much for being here.
I'm very proud of you.
Oh my goodness.
Thank you so much.
Up next, the wackiest place.
I never thought I'd hear of someone giving birth.
I'm going to give you two hints.
Kids love going to this place, and, well, it can be a little bit wild.
Think about those clues and be right back.
She was high on crystal meth and hallucinating when she gouged out her own eyes.
I thought that's what I had to do.
An exclusive interview with 20 year old Kaylee Muthart.
All new Oz.
That's coming up tomorrow.
We are back reviewing the most unforgettable births in the most outrageous places that no one would ever see coming.
Now, Kamika was visiting the Omaha Zoo when she had a.
A wild surprise delivery.
Let's start at the very beginning.
Thanks for joining us.
So, you're eight months pregnant.
Yes.
And you wanted to stay busy, see if you could go to the zoo.
Why not?
So, you see the leopards, you see the elephants, you see the zebras.
You get on a train.
Yep.
And you ride the train and you begin to realize something's not right here.
Not right.
So, what did you do?
So, we get on the train and my husband and my mom's like, I'm like, something's not right.
It's not right.
We need to get off.
So, my husband and my mom's like, Aren't you supposed to be taking breathing techniques?
And I'm like, What?
This hurts.
Forget those breathing takers.
And then my husband, like, it's okay.
We're closer to our stop and just calm down.
So I'm looking at him like, okay.
So we get off the train and I'm like, I'm sitting, well, they get off first.
And I'm sitting there pacing.
I'm like, okay, am I going to make it?
Am I not?
We get past the carousel and my water breaks.
I'm like, help, help.
And he's like, no, stop.
I'm like, you're not a doctor.
So he's like, okay, I got you.
I got you.
So we get to the gate and the gates are locked off.
They're doing construction there.
Oh, no.
So the ladies in the back, they're trying to find the key.
To open up the gate.
So you're locked in the zoo.
Yeah.
And at this point, the baby is starting to come down.
The baby's head is already in my panties.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
I'm standing up still.
So you felt the head come out of you.
Yeah.
This is again another story.
The panties helped out.
Yeah.
So it's a recurrent theme here.
So the panties catch the baby's head.
Yes.
And my husband's like, I'm like, her head, her head.
And he's like, what are you talking about?
So he goes around and actually feels it.
He's like, Oh, her head.
So he's like, okay, y'all, situation change, situation change.
She's having the baby.
So they just start pulling out their phones and looking.
I'm like, guys, are y'all gonna help me?
So I'm still standing there bent over.
And so he thinks in his mind, like, okay, well, we gotta have this baby now.
So he just pushes my shorts over.
I had big shorts on, big boy shorts on.
He pushes them over.
He's like, push.
And I'm literally, you guys, I'm still standing up.
And he's like, push.
I push again and she's there.
Boom.
Oh my goodness.
So he caught her?
Yeah, he caught her.
So he did that right?
Yeah, he did that right.
All right, we're going to meet Justin, the husband, and the husband who couldn't figure out when you said, it's her head, it's her head.
And little Drea is here.
So come on up.
Made her debut at the zoo.
Now coming on the show.
There's Drea.
Oh my goodness.
Can I hold Drea?
Yes.
Oh my goodness.
She's so pretty.
Oh my goodness, she's beautiful.
Yeah.
So, what was that, Justin, like?
First of all, did she describe the story correctly?
Were you not processing that Ria's head was already out?
Yes, people were taking pictures.
I just wasn't paying attention to them.
What was it like to actually catch your child?
It was, I can't explain it.
It's one of the most greatest experiences in the world because you don't see a lot of men doing it.
Well, you see, you got a surprise.
Gift.
You got a welcome gift from the zoo.
Yes.
Right?
So we got a little surprise gift back for you.
We got a Skype reunion I want to give you.
Do you remember the nurse that helped you at the zoo?
Yes.
Her name is Nurse Crystal.
She's here at Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha.
There she is.
She was at the zoo that day working.
Hey, Crystal.
Hi, everybody.
Great to see you.
Were you used to providing bandages at the zoo's first aid station?
What was it like to have a baby on its way?
Dr. Oz, it was crazy.
I am a nurse with Children's Hospital and Medical Center, and I received a call on my radio for a woman in labor.
And as we were approaching, I realized there is a lady on her back.
And I'm like, oh my.
As I run over, I get closer, and baby Drea is laying in dad's hand.
So I was.
That was crazy.
I, of course, as a pediatric nurse, I just went straight for the brachial pulse to make sure she had a really strong heartbeat.
And made sure mom was comfortable, and we could hear the rescue squad sirens coming down the hill, so we knew that they were very close, also.
So, Chris, what would you want to say to Kamika, Justin, and Baby Drea?
You guys, I just want to say congratulations for making the Dr. Oz show.
This is so cool.
And I want to say, on behalf of Children's Hospital and Medical Center, thank you for being part of letting us be part of your story.
We have a huge gift basket.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Lots of stuffed animals, t shirts for the Family cups, sippy cup, little knee pads for when she's crawling and walking and all that stuff.
And we'll make sure that we get that to her for her first birthday.
And we will be having a big bash at the zoo.
So I look forward to seeing you guys for that.
God bless you, Crystal.
Thanks for being a nurse.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you so much.
And congratulations.
She's absolutely adorable.
Thank you.
Well done and well told.
Thank you.
Up next, you've got a special delivery outside a pizza parlor you're not going to believe.
That's right, a pizza parlor.
We'll be right back.
Tyra Banks on Motherhood and the true story behind her nose job, All Nuas.
That's coming up on Friday.
We're back with the most unbelievable births, and now a special delivery in front of a Brooklyn pizza shop that no one could have predicted.
And by the way, look, it says, We deliver.
You see it up there?
So they got it right.
Mom Tiara is here.
She was doing some last minute preparations for the baby.
When she started to go into labor.
So you actually had this pizza place, and like the other moms who have been here, you'd had a child earlier.
Two.
Two, yeah.
So you sort of knew the routine.
So take me back to the day that you had your third child.
You're in front of the pizza parlor, your husband calls 911, but they don't get there in time.
Right.
So you ended up having the baby in the car in front of the pizza parlor.
Yes.
So explain those moments.
What do you remember?
I just remember we were, I remember people looking at me, and they felt like it was happening, and they were like, oh my God.
As we were pulling around, these are people in other cars or on the sidewalk?
On the street, there's people playing basketball, and they were like, Congratulations!
And I was like, Oh my god, is this really happening right now?
And we were right by our.
Just in between shots, they're congratulating you.
How did they notice you're in the car?
They saw my face.
It was all over my face.
They were like, She's going to have a baby right now.
So we were pulling around.
It was actually only about a few blocks from our house.
So we were really close.
But I just told my husband, I don't even remember the words coming out of my mouth, just call 911.
And they told him he had to pull over so they could.
Find us, and that was where we pulled over.
But by the way, getting home isn't the solution here.
Getting to the hospital is the solution.
Yeah, yeah.
So we were on our way to the hospital.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
So let me bring out baby Charlie if I can, and your husband, Eric.
Come on out, guys.
I got a hold there.
Okay, can I come back?
Pizza Delivery for Baby Charlie00:02:20
You want to go to Dr. Rouse?
I've learned, by the way, you let them keep seeing their parents.
See, that's how Santa Clauses do it, by the way.
They never see Santa Claus, they only see mom and dad.
What's it like here?
You're sitting in your car, people playing basketball, delivering pizzas, eating pizzas, and you're delivering a baby boy.
What's going through your mind?
So we were just trying to focus on the 911 call, right?
Communicating properly, making sure that I was listening to them, but also making sure that I was okay with Tiara and.
Finally, he was coming, and that was all I was.
And there wasn't a whole lot more.
What are you going to tell your son when he's older about what happened that day?
I'm going to tell him that it was a beautiful experience.
It was raw, it was something that no one really goes through, and it was wonderful.
But if I had the choice, I would never do that again.
So I got a special treat from you from Morocco's Pizza Palace.
Sal and Tommy, the proprietors, are here.
Come on up, Sal and Tommy.
Here, come on over.
Here, come on over.
So, we have a pizza here for baby Charlie.
Oh!
We got one here for the doc, you know.
Oh, I got one too.
I got this one a little special.
I've got it for you guys.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
Come join us.
Nice to meet you.
How are you doing?
Very good.
Now, did you guys know this was all.
Have a seat.
Have a seat.
Come on, buddy.
He was the beau here.
Did you guys know this was all going down outside or were you just making pizzas?
Actually, we weren't there that day.
We were at the other locations and we got the phone call.
We were like, what?
We usually hear all this stuff, you know, because we're in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn.
So, what do we have?
What should we taste?
All right, so this one here is the.
It's for Charlie, and we renamed our mini pie at the store the Baby Rocco.
The Baby Rocco.
So now everybody knows that.
With a little arugula?
Is that arugula?
Basil.
That's fresh basil.
Basil.
So that's like a plain margarita pizza, and we put a little basil on top.
What's mine got on it?
Well, yours.
We made a little special.
Yours is special.
We made the pizza.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
Now we're talking.
What do you think?
Emerald green with broccoli.
We don't play around for Dr. Oz, you know?
God bless you, bucking gradually.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Renaming the Mini Pie00:15:19
We'll be right back.
Today, Luanne DeLeseps from the Real Housewives of New York City is here opening up about her arrest and promises to get real about her issues with alcohol.
Sometimes reality becomes just too real.
Over the past year, The Real Housewives of New York City star, Loanne de Liceps, has made headlines from her life off camera that rival any storyline on primetime TV.
Her marriage ended in a messy divorce scandal when her husband was caught cheating.
She was arrested for trespassing, intoxication, and attacking a cop.
Today, Loanne is here.
To break her silence on the aftermath of her bad behavior and whether she is ready to give up drinking for good.
Please welcome the woman who will be always known as the Countess.
I was holding them back.
They were charging your door.
So, thank you for coming.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Good.
You've had an exciting year.
Yeah.
So, let's start at a place that's as logical as any other.
It's the night before your engagement.
You're having an engagement party.
And while the cameras are running, you're confronted by the reality that your soon to be fiancee husband has cheated on you.
Yes.
Why not call it all off in the moment?
You know, that's a good question.
I.
I chose to forgive him because I always see the good in people.
It was a big mistake, looking back, obviously, but I chose to forgive him.
If you can't forgive the ones you love, who can you forgive?
So I really chose to forgive him.
And I was okay with that.
When you love somebody and the relationship falls apart, it hurts even more.
And divorce can be devastating anyway.
Yes.
What did it feel like when you realized it was really over?
You know, that guy that got stuck in the rocks and he had to cut his arm off to get free.
That's what I felt like.
You know, it was such a difficult decision, especially after only seven months of being married.
But I was suffering a lot and I was unhappy, and my children were unhappy to see me unhappy.
And it was just not working.
I mean, it was just, he had this bachelor lifestyle that he really couldn't give up.
So you get divorced.
A few months later, you're back to Palm Beach, where you were married.
Yes.
And in that same place, something happens that we want to talk about right now.
You end up getting arrested.
Yes.
Just explain to everybody what went down.
I've read the tabloids, everybody here has as well, but I need to hear the truth from you, from your mouth.
Well, I was going to a wedding in Chile.
Friends of mine were, their daughter was getting married in Chile, so I planned to go down to fly from Miami.
And so I checked into the colony, to make a long story short, I had Rosé at lunch.
With my girlfriend, we split a bottle of Whispering Angel, which is normal.
And then there were some people there that were fans, so they sent me more rose.
So I drank more than I usually would.
Then we went to Julie's, and on the way, we stopped and have not one martini, but two.
So by the time I get back to the colony, I was pretty sloshed.
And then, I don't know, I got to tell you, Dr. Oz, it's not something that I, you know, that's kind of a regular kind of thing, you know what I mean?
In terms of the drinking path that I was on.
So, I almost think that somebody slipped me something because I don't remember a thing after that.
I really don't.
A lot of what I know is recounted to me because I was with a male friend of mine who I was dating before I met Tom, and he hadn't been drinking, and he told me exactly what happened.
So, apparently, I was being loud in the jazz club.
They asked me to leave.
So, I go, okay, fine.
And I go up to my room, and Julie's with me as well.
So, Julie stays at the bar, gives me privacy.
I go to the elevator, I press the fourth floor.
Don't ask me why, because I'm staying on the third floor.
I press the fourth floor.
I get out.
My bag drops because I'm fumbling for my key, and the gentleman picks it up for me.
And by the time he gets up with the bag, I'm in a door.
I'm in a room.
So now he doesn't know if it's my room or not, right?
I'm staying at the hotel as a guest.
I'm checked in.
And you're with your ex boyfriend?
I'm with a boyfriend, an old flame of mine.
I get into a room.
Apparently, he told me the maid was turning down the room.
Can you imagine?
The maid was turning down the room.
So she disappears.
And I close the door, I'm in my room, right?
There's a knock at the door, it's security.
You're in the wrong room.
Are you by yourself in the room?
No, I'm with the gentleman.
You're in the wrong room.
I said, No, I'm not.
This is my room.
So the guy goes, Is this your room?
I said, Yeah, of course it's my room.
He goes, Is that your Blackberry?
I said, Of course it's my Blackberry.
I don't own a Blackberry.
That was really a mess.
So, anyway, so now the security is telling me I have to leave.
And I said, No, it's my room.
I was adamant that it was my room.
Don't ask me why, but I was.
And so they called the police.
So then he got nervous.
He got very nervous for me.
He went down to get Julie.
And by the time he got back, I was in handcuffs.
It's just the craziest thing.
If one thing, it was like the perfect storm.
If one thing had gone differently, it probably would not have happened to me.
But I'm, well, we'll get to that.
But I'm glad it did because it was a major wake up call for me.
So you were charged with battery on an officer.
Yeah, I was going to tell you about that part.
Yeah.
So what happened?
This is the craziest thing.
So, what happened was, they come now to arrest me.
Now, I'm a drunk woman in a hotel room, in my own hotel, but not the wrong room, granted.
Yes.
That's true.
But so they come after me, and I was drunk, so I wasn't equipped to handle it.
And I got scared.
And I ran like a child to the bathroom.
Okay?
And so I locked myself in the bathroom.
So then he tried to open the door, and he opened the door, and then I closed the door, and it hit him in the forehead.
So that's battery that I did on a police officer.
Disorderly, you acknowledge that.
Disorderly, that's for sure.
Intoxication.
Totally.
Resisting arrest.
Yes.
It's all true.
It's ridiculous, but it's true.
And I feel so terrible because it's so not me.
You know, I've been on the show for 10 years.
Dr. Oz, you know me.
You see me socially.
I mean, I took a tumble in Mexico.
That's when I was happy.
I took a tumble on tequila.
But yeah, it's not me.
I'm a nurse.
I did a fundraiser for the Red Cross.
I just can't believe it.
But it was a major wake up call for me.
That I was in a position where I treated someone like a police officer who I have the utmost respect for that way is just.
I'm beside myself.
I'm horrified.
I'm embarrassed.
I'm ashamed.
It was to.
Be thrown in jail was just the most horrifying thing that's ever happened to me.
And I could, you know, to be totally out of control like that and not be able to hand yourself, that's when I said, you know what, I need to go to rehab and take care of myself.
And I just had, for me personally, I had no choice.
It was like, you know what, you're doing this.
I knew I was on a highway to hell.
I knew I was.
And I even say it on the show.
I'm talking to Bethany in a scene and I said, you know, I think I need to go to a spa.
And she was talking to me about going to a spa.
And it comes up, and because, you know, I was just drinking too much.
And I was using it really to self medicate and not really looking or dealing with my emotions.
So let's talk about this a little bit.
So, this is your Twitter apology.
This is the first time in Palm Beach since my wedding.
And being here brought up long buried emotions.
I want to offer my sincere apologies to anyone I may have offended with my behavior.
I'm committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018.
First of all, it's very self aware.
I must commend you that you wrote this.
This Twitter post.
Because most people won't acknowledge long buried emotions as a root cause of a problem.
Yes.
Yours weren't even buried that long.
Well, I had a lot of burials.
I mean, you know, my first marriage was a killer for me.
I checked into Deepak Chopra for two weeks after the end of my first marriage, which was devastating for me.
Devastating.
Never got over that, really.
And then, what else?
Hmm.
There was a car accident.
I tumbled down a mountainside with the two children in the car in Switzerland, and I thought I killed myself and my children.
I really did.
I thought I was going to be dead.
It was really rough.
I'm sorry.
I think I need a Kleenex now.
And then, The best I can do.
You're such a gentleman.
And then I think, you know, this last thing just did it for me.
I just cracked.
I just cracked.
I don't know what happened.
I just cracked.
But it's all good now.
I want to thank you for being honest.
Because the biggest lies we tell are the ones we tell ourselves.
Yeah.
And the fact that you can get it all out is a big first step.
Yeah.
It's big.
You mentioned a lot of things that I'm going to come back and talk on if it's okay.
Yeah, sure.
Because I want to help.
I'm here now.
You're helping.
So we come back to questions everyone wants to know is the land ready to give up drinking for good?
Stay with us.
Tyra Banks on Motherhood and the True Story Behind Her Nose Job, All Nuas.
That's coming up on Friday.
That's a clip from the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City.
It's on Bravo, of course.
The Countess Luanda DeSeps is here and she's opening up about your relationship with alcohol, which I commend you for doing, but I want to get serious about this a little bit.
It was a long, loving relationship.
You know, it's so funny.
I'm sorry that I'm crying, but, you know, it's now that I'm not drinking, you know, my emotions are like right at the top.
You know, before they were buried.
And now they're just right here, which is so unusual for me.
So, pardon me.
So, are you not drinking anymore?
No.
I just can't for the moment.
I just have not had a drink, and I can't even tell you when.
Well, do you consider yourself an alcoholic?
You know, it's a good question.
I don't really know.
I think that I'm a self medicator, that's for sure.
Pain and my emotions, and until it didn't work for me anymore, until it got me into a lot of trouble.
So, what would it take for you to decide that you can't drink alcohol ever again?
You know, I don't know.
I live in the moment.
I live for today.
For today, it's just not drinking.
And I don't really want to drink right now.
I don't need it.
I'm actually better without it.
I'm so much better without it.
I wish you the best.
Thank you.
And I do beg that you think about the alcohol.
It's hard to acknowledge it.
Yes.
No, I've acknowledged it.
Yeah.
And it's, you know, thank God for rehab.
That's all I can tell you because it really saved me.
It really saved me.
And it's, for anybody out there, it's futures in West Palm Beach.
I mean, where is it?
Outside of West Palm Beach.
So I want to say that because they really helped me a lot and they were fabulous up there.
So thank you again.
I'll bet you were telling me this story.
We can catch a new season of The Real Housewives of New York City, Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
I'll be right back.
Up next, the wise and hilarious Allie Wentworth is here with life changing advice for your everyday stresses.
Plus, she's sharing a secret, little known secret, about her husband George Stephanopoulos that you never guessed.
Can you give us a hint?
Just one little hint.
It has something to do with you, Dr. Oz.
Oh.
When Allie Wentworth asked me to just start her show Nightcap last year, I love every minute of the shooting.
You know, you just saw her character Stacy ask me for some advice, but in real life, Allie's known for giving.
Very wise advice that happens to be hilarious.
She's here today to take your questions about everyday stresses.
And I'm finally getting to the bottom of something that people have been asking me about a lot her husband, George Stephanopoulos.
Come on out, Allie.
How are you?
Oh my goodness.
He's such a movie star, isn't he?
Oh.
Yes.
She humored me.
No, you were great.
You were really great.
Before you get into the meat of this discussion, where you're actually helping other people, I got to clear something up.
I get asked questions about George Stephanopoulos, ABC News anchor, all the time.
I mean, are we related?
Are we the same person?
Right?
Yeah.
I say, no, we're not the same person.
They never believe me.
Well, because you've never both been seen at the same place at the same time.
Ooh.
Well, actually, I have evidence, one piece of evidence.
Okay.
But I'll show it only if you agree to clear up this conspiracy.
Yes, I agree.
Am I the same person as your husband?
You are not.
Yes.
Yes, you are not.
Here's the picture, evidence in point.
Here we are together this past summer.
But you look so similar.
And he's Greek and you're Turkish.
So it's all kind of the same.
Who's better looking?
You are.
I've been married for 16 years, so everybody looks better looking to me.
You talk about George a lot.
By the way, it's books called Go Ask Allie.
We have books on the show a lot.
This thing is just so well done and so funny.
Thank you.
So funny.
But you talk about George, and it's not always funny on that count.
You learned a lot in those 16 years you just mentioned.
Yes, I have.
Seems like a lot less, doesn't it?
Or not really?
Than 16 years?
Depends on the day.
Gossip Cleanse and Pineapple00:07:40
So there's a story you hear about going on a family trip where you just messed everything up.
Oh, yes.
Oh, no.
Threw away all the planning poor George had done.
Yes, by the way, everything you need to know about marriage is how your spouse responds to.
Mistakes.
So, George and I were taking our two daughters to Spain and we're taking a night flight.
We walked up to the TWA lady, we gave the passports and the tickets, and she said, as they're usually so kind, you're not going anywhere tonight.
And I said, what do you mean?
And she goes, your girls' passports have expired.
I know, I know.
It's a mistake we would all make, and it was one of those things where it was my fault.
So, I did what any mature woman would do, and I ran.
And I hid behind this.
I hid behind this.
Indian family that were saran wrapping their luggage, and I kind of blended in with them for a while.
And finally, my 12 year old found me, and she said, Daddy's mad.
I said, Is he mad, like mad, or is that vein bulging out on the side of his head?
Because that's nuclear.
And she said, No, the vein's bulging.
And I thought, Oh my God.
So, to make a long story short, we were in the cab.
It was silent.
And I thought, My husband can now unload everything on me.
Because, you know, sometimes you have like a backlog of anger towards your spouse, and like he'll leave his boxers on the Floor, and then all of a sudden, you'll be like, and another thing, your mother never thanked me for Thanksgiving in 1974.
So I was ready to be waterboarded by him, and we got into the taxi, and it was totally silent.
My 12 year old handed me a starburst like I was in prison you know, like you probably won't eat for a while, mom, you better take that.
So we get home, and we got into bed, and I said, I'm really sorry.
And he said, Of course, I don't worry about it, I love you, and like put his arm around me.
Now, he could have really, really let me have it.
And then I did that thing in bed, women, we do, but we don't like it.
So, Ally, I was giving advice, and it's always funny advice.
But here's a really wonderful example from the book.
She says, Take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar every morning, natural diuretic.
I just want to see if you're going to do it.
I mean, this is mean.
Why?
You're telling them to do something just so they'll see if they'll do it.
I think that your show, somebody once told me to do it, so every day I take two tablespoons.
Of apple cider vinegar, and I don't know why.
All right.
Bring me the Shotsky one.
I have no idea why.
In that case, here, drink this now.
This is a whole different way of doing it.
We'll do a Shotsky?
All right, yeah.
I usually have a coffee chase at her.
Three, two, one.
Mmm.
Whoa.
Oh, my God.
Is it good for you?
No, I wanted to see if you'd do it.
Yeah, of course it's good for you.
Okay, good.
Not always like that, though.
All right, so we got some questions.
You have your post here.
Yes.
I'm going to go to the audience.
Okay, the doctor is in the house.
So who's got questions here?
Hands up.
I know I got a couple here.
I know Mary's got a couple.
Here, Mary, take it away.
Of course.
Allie, I find myself exhausted all the time.
Between work, family, business obligations, what do you do to keep that amazing level of energy that you have?
Have you tried Red Bull?
No.
I need to.
I actually, I'm a big believer in humor, and I think that we need to laugh more, particularly now in our culture.
And even though my husband is in carrot top, we do try to put a lot of humor into our life.
So I get energy from fun.
And I think in the mornings when you wake up, you should say to yourself, I'm going to choose to be happy.
I'm going to choose to laugh.
I love that.
And that helps.
I've kept my vote.
Thank you.
While you're laughing, Anthea, take it away.
What's your question?
Hi, Allie.
So I have some friends who like to gossip a little bit, and sometimes I indulge, and, you know, we like to spill some tea.
Yes.
I love that phrase, by the way.
The gossip of spilling tea.
Spilling tea.
Yes.
So how do we break the cycle?
Because I feel like it's negative energy.
You know, I have a chapter in my book about it because, you know, sometimes we have a friend who's.
Getting divorced or maybe drinking too much.
And we think we're being helpful by talking about it with all our friends.
Like, can you believe it?
No, I feel so bad.
You know, she's been sleeping with a 20 year old rock star.
And, but you're gossiping.
You're sort of perpetuating the story that ends.
You know, you've played telephone before, you know, and you hear one thing and at the end it's a totally different story.
And I feel like, especially now with social media, gossip is such a toxic thing.
So I now try, I'm on a gossip cleanse.
So, I try not to gossip at all in my life, and it's better.
You're good at cleanses.
And by the way, her colon, Christine, back to the earlier topic.
My colon, I keep all my jewelry in there, it's so clean.
Go ask Allie, wonderful book that's in stores now.
Give one to a friend, it's that good.
Up next, Allie's sticking around for her most controversial advice.
Here's the question Does this, be honest to it now, belong on a pizza?
Aha, one of the biggest debates out there.
Don't say yes yet.
People come after you.
You don't want to miss what she has to say about pineapples and pizza.
I'm excited to talk about it.
She was high on crystal meth and hallucinating when she gouged out her own eyes.
I thought that's what I had to do.
An exclusive interview with 20 year old Kaylee Muthart.
All new Oz.
That's coming up tomorrow.
Best advice from Dr. Oz is stand up and look at your poo.
You love talking about that stuff.
Every time I poop, I check it to see what shape it is.
Sounds kinky.
Should be in an S shape, and I don't want to brag, but all the day long.
That's fantastic.
Clever, the delivery.
You're so talented.
So fun.
Those are some of the castmates of Allie Wentworth's show.
Nightcap, she's back now with a piece of her own advice that is super controversial.
Allie recommends that everyone have ham and pineapple pizza.
Why would you ever even think of recommending that?
It never crossed my mind.
First of all, it's sweet and sour, which I love to mix.
And second of all, I mean, if you wanted, you could scrape it all off and put.
Kale on it.
Broccoli.
Broccoli and kale.
But it's also a metaphor, which is I believe you should try new things.
You know, when I worked for Oprah, I jumped out of a plane, I went nude on a public beach.
You did?
Yes.
Oh.
Whoa.
There are just some things that are too radical.
The beach part was okay.
Yeah.
But the president of Iceland actually has banned, tried anyway, to ban pineapple and ham combos.
It's racist.
That's what he's banned.
That's what he's working on?
They don't have a lot of other problems there.
That's one of the biggest issues.
The internet's been fighting on wars.
You know, holy wars fought over this stuff.
Who here has never had pineapple and ham?
Hamza.
Most of the audience has never tried it.
Very smart people.
Oh, come on.
It's a life changer.
Well, she says it's a life changer, but it's Allie.
So, Allie with the pristine colon.
So, I had my team look into this.
Here's what I found out pineapple, lots of sugar in pineapple.
So, it has about 150 calories or more to already pretty high calorie pizza.
But, in fairness, it's got vitamin C, it's got other antioxidants.
So, there's a theoretical benefit.
But you're just saying taste it to challenge yourself, to break your rules.
