Friday on Today 7/27

Who Wears The Pants? Women Take The Relationship Lead. That was the topic of the first segment of the third hour. Anthropologist, Helen Fisher and Clinical Sexologist (I had no idea these actually existed) Ian Kerner discussed the power struggle in relationships between men and women. Gender stereotypes are dissipating and there is more equality in couples. Men are doing more housework and content with being stay at home dads. The thing is everyone thinks they wear the pants in the partnership. That's the way it should be. No single person should be in charge of all the decisions in anyone else's life. The message in this is that men and women are different but equal.

Today's Health was all about Summer Heat: Fighting Odor and Perspiration. Each of us have 2-4 million sweat glands but some of us sweat more than others. Antiperspirants block the sweat glands so they actually stop you from sweating where as deodorants just stop you from stinking. But antiperspirants with deodorant do both. They suggested using antiperspirants at night because they're more effective then. If you're an excessive sweater you can get Botox injections--if you don't mind spending a $1,000 per visit--and wear special sweat clothes, underarm pads and dress shields.

Today Throws A Wedding was all about the cake--Take The Cake. Not much information here. They showed a beautiful square wedding with doves on top instead of the traditional bride and groom.

Today's Tech featured Video Game Wars. I loathe video games so this segment meant nothing to me. Xbox 360 has a consumer warranty extension--a polite name for a recall because there's something wrong with the hardware, but they won't specify what. That has the most popular video games. The second most popular games are in Playstation 3, which has the highest resolution games there are. Nintendo is number 3. I don't know what the best thing about them is.

Marc Anthony sang a song as women wearing wedding vales danced around with their partners. Then they signed off early again and showed highlights of Al's stops around the country looking for the couple to get married on The Today Show.

And that wraps up another week of Yesterday on Today. Have a great weekend!
