LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Celebrities are no different from the ordinary person, and Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager from 'Today with Hoda & Jenna' proved just that. On Thursday's episode of NBC's talk show, a certain hot topic turned into an embarrassing conversation and ended with Hoda calling Jenna "a bizarre human." 'Today with Hoda & Jenna' is a controversial talk show that discusses entertainment gossip and things happening in the showbiz world. But, more than their discussions, it is the duo's comments that always make way for controversy and end up on the news. The topic of last week's episode was Gwyneth Paltrow and her controversial comments on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast. The hilarious saga ensued right after that.

'Call Her Daddy' is a podcast that has evolved into a global movement. Host Alex Cooper, who runs the podcast, has bulldozed a lane of her own with this space, which usually talks about changing the world and feminism while spitting in the face of misogyny.

Gwyneth Paltrow spills the tea on sex with exes

During the podcast, host Alex Cooper asked Paltrow about her sexual experiences with two A-list exes and to compare them. As you might know, Gwyneth Paltrow isn't a woman of a few words and she likes being completely transparent about her opinions and experiences. On this podcast, she was completely bare and didn't hold back. "That is very hard," Paltrow began to think about how to put it out, but, without holding back she said, "Brad was like this sort of major chemistry love of your life at the time, you know? "And then, like, Ben was like, you know, technically excellent," Gwyneth discussed with Alex, who broke out in laughter.

Jenna Bush Hager recalls wedding night with husband

While discussing Gwyneth Paltrow's controversial comments, The 'Today' duo sided with Paltrow and said that it shouldn't have been controversial as she didn't actually "diss" her exes. This topic led Jenna to ask Hoda if she ever "kisses and tell" to which Hoda said that it's a type of "betrayal" to your partner if you're in a relationship. Hoda then asked the same question to Jenna and she revealed that she keeps her personal life private and does not disclose any details about her relationship.

After she shared this, a photo of Jenna and her husband Henry from their wedding night appeared on the screen, and the former first daughter seemingly was embarrassed over the picture. Clearly uncomfortable with it, Jenna said nervously, "That was the night it all happened, ya'll!" The sudden comment caused the audience to erupt in laughter, with her co-host Hoda calling her a "bizarre human."
