00:00All you have to do to be a good friend is just be there for someone.
00:05You can smile or you can give them a hug.
00:08Come on! Give me a hug!
00:10Aw, there you guys!
00:11Come on!
00:13Hi, everybody! We're here at InStyle to open some mail!
00:20Okay, let's get to it. Elmo, you want to start?
00:23Oh, sure. Wait a minute.
00:25Um, Elmo can't read yet. Elmo's only three and a half.
00:28What are we gonna do?
00:28Oh, well, good thing I am here. Yes.
00:32Oh, you can read more.
00:32I will read the questions for you.
00:34Thank you, brother.
00:35Okay. I have always wondered, not me, but the person writing this.
00:38The person writing this.
00:39What kind of music does Elmo listen to?
00:42And here's a follow-up.
00:43Who is your favorite musician?
00:47That's very difficult. Elmo loves music.
00:49It's one of Elmo's favorite things in the whole world.
00:51Yeah, Elmo likes jazz and pop and rock.
00:54Oh, and yacht rock, especially.
00:56Lots of music.
00:56You know, Elmo's got a lot of different artists that Elmo loves.
00:59Elmo's mommy and daddy really like Ella Fitzgerald.
01:02We listen to her.
01:03I love her. I love her.
01:04And Elmo loves Stevie Wonder.
01:06Oh, I love Stevie Wonder.
01:08You know, a lot of Elmo's good friends like Madonna and Paul McCartney and Lady Gaga.
01:13But you know what? Elmo's been listening to Miley Cyrus a lot.
01:17Because she just visited Sesame Street and she was really, really cool.
01:21Okay, let's see.
01:22Oh, it says Ernie on it.
01:24Bert loves oatmeal and paper clips and Ernie loves his rubber ducky.
01:28What are other things you both love?
01:31Oh.
01:32Oh.
01:32Well, we both love music, right?
01:35We both love music, rock and roll, jazz, fusion.
01:39Marching bands.
01:40Um, yeah.
01:42Yeah, I love marching bands.
01:43Yeah, okay, but...
01:43Well, we both love animals, right?
01:46Animals like lions and tigers and...
01:48Pigeons!
01:50Um, okay.
01:51Well, uh...
01:53Oh, and we both love living on Sesame Street.
01:56Oh.
01:58Well, actually, that is true.
01:59We do both love living on Sesame Street.
02:02Hmm.
02:03And we both...
02:04No, no.
02:04Stop while you're ahead, Ernie.
02:06Oh.
02:07Gee.
02:07Uh, that's good advice, Bert.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Hey!
02:10We both love good advice!
02:12Ernie!
02:14Oh.
02:15Here's one for me.
02:18What are your tips on being cute and lovable?
02:22Oh, well...
02:24You have to smile a lot.
02:25Yes!
02:26Smile until it almost hurts!
02:30Ow!
02:31Ow!
02:31You okay?
02:32Yeah, I am.
02:33Oh, be kind.
02:35That is also very important.
02:37Here, here, here.
02:37Make sure to brush your fur twice a day.
02:40Oh, right.
02:41Uh-huh.
02:41Never skip leg day.
02:43No.
02:44And always have a couple of dance moves ready to show off.
02:48Ah!
02:49Come on!
02:50Give me your dance moves!
02:52Ha-ha-ha!
02:53Ha-ha!
02:54Woo-hoo!
02:54Woo-hoo-hoo!
02:56Yeah!
02:57Hey, you know what?
02:57Grover also has the cutest poses.
03:00Do some of your cute poses for us.
03:02Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:03Look at that.
03:04Oh, my goodness.
03:05Come on!
03:05Come on!
03:06That's so cute!
03:07Oh, it's adorable!
03:08That's our most favorite one, this one.
03:09I can't watch.
03:10It's so cute!
03:11What is the best part about living in your trash can?
03:15Oh, well, it's quiet and I get to be left alone.
03:18I wish I was there right now.
03:20Ugh.
03:22Oh!
03:22This one is for all of us!
03:24Oh, oh!
03:25Okay.
03:25Okay.
03:26What is your go-to bagel order?
03:29Ah!
03:30Oh!
03:31Hmm.
03:32Well, you know, Elmo likes a classic New York bagel.
03:35Yeah, with cream cheese.
03:36But it has to be from New York because of the water.
03:39See, Elmo knows about New York.
03:40Oatmeal, untoasted, with nothing on it.
03:44Perfect.
03:45Three-day-old jalapeno cheddar bagel with olive and pimento cream cheese.
03:50If it's not tough as a tire, I don't want to eat it.
03:52I like a blueberry bagel that is toasted.
03:56Yummy!
03:57And then I also like to put a little bit of peanut butter on it and some honey and a
04:03banana.
04:04I like to keep it, you know, simple and classic.
04:07Just an everything bagel scooped out.
04:09Toasted lightly on one side and dark on the other.
04:13Egg a little runny and cheese sliced very thin.
04:16Not too thin, just a little thin.
04:18Half an avocado, a thick slice of tomato, just a little salt and pepper and ketchup.
04:23And, uh, yeah, just your usual classic New York bagel shop order.
04:27Are you done?
04:28Mm-hmm.
04:29You should see the line behind him after he orders.
04:32Huh.
04:33I like a sesame seed bagel.
04:36Because it sounds like Sesame Street.
04:39And I always order it with a shmear.
04:42A shmear of what?
04:44Oh, it can be a shmear of anything.
04:45I do not care.
04:46I just like to say shmear.
04:47Oh, true.
04:48Shmear.
04:50Shmear.
04:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:52Do you know what this says?
04:54Well, Elmo knows Elmo's name.
04:55It says Elmo.
04:56Yes.
04:57Yes, that is right.
04:58This is a question for you, Elmo.
05:00Okay, okay.
05:01Here's this.
05:01Many people have visited Elmo on Sesame Street.
05:05That's true.
05:06Who has shared good advice with Elmo?
05:10And what was it?
05:11Oh.
05:12Well, let's see.
05:13You know, Mr. Michael B. Jordan taught Elmo that it's important to ask questions.
05:18It's the best way to get to know somebody or to meet a new friend.
05:22And, um, oh, oh, Mr. Jonathan Bailey visited us on Sesame Street and taught us all about
05:28how to take a moment for ourselves.
05:31Mm-hmm.
05:31That was very cool.
05:32And, um, you know, Elmo was just hanging out with Team USA for the World Cup.
05:37And they taught Elmo how to be a good sport.
05:39You know, win or lose, you should play with kindness and be a good teammate and have a lot
05:44of fun.
05:45Have you ever gotten any advice from somebody who was not famous?
05:49No.
05:50Hmm.
05:51Okay, Abby, what does it take to be a good friend?
05:56Oh.
05:57Oh.
05:58All you have to do to be a good friend is just be there for someone.
06:04Yeah, just be there.
06:06Just, you know, you don't even have to say anything.
06:09You can smile or you can give them a hug or just sit there with them and know that they're
06:15not alone.
06:17That there's someone next to you that cares.
06:20That's really nice.
06:22Yeah.
06:22Just thinking about it makes me love my friends because they're always there for me.
06:27Yeah.
06:27And I'll always be there for you.
06:29That's right.
06:30Come on.
06:31Give me a hug.
06:32Yeah.
06:33Oh.
06:33Come on.
06:35Yeah.
06:35That's wonderful.
06:36I love it.
06:37I just love it.
06:38Okay.
06:39Let's see what we got here.
06:41Well, this is interesting.
06:43Yeah?
06:43What are some of your rules for being a good roommate, Ernie?
06:49Ernie?
06:50Well, that's a simple one, Bert.
06:52Sure, you need to always be kind and considerate and always keep things clean and tidy and stay
07:00quiet and respect your roommate's space and things.
07:04Ernie, that does not sound like you at all.
07:06What are you talking about?
07:08No, no, Bert.
07:09I was describing my ideal roommate.
07:11Yours is obviously messy, plays loud music at night, and loses your favorite bottle cap from
07:16your bottle cap collection.
07:19Wait, you lost what?
07:21Hey, let's do another one.
07:23How would you describe yourself?
07:26Well, if I'm not mistaken, I am fuzzy and blue.
07:32I am eager to help others like yourselves by reading these letters to you.
07:38Um, I am proud because I can build very tall block towers.
07:45Yeah, and, um, I am lovable and huggable and I am cute, too.
07:51Yeah, very true.
07:53Yeah, go ahead.
07:53Hug me.
07:54Give it a try.
07:55Is that not huggable?
07:57Definitely huggable.
08:02How did you become friends with your pet worm, Slimy?
08:07Oh, well, it was a completely miserable rainy day.
08:11Just the way I like it.
08:13He, he, he, he, he, he.
08:14I was splashing in mucky, muddy puddles getting really dirty when I look down and I see this
08:20tiny worm doing the same thing.
08:22He liked dirt just as much as me.
08:25He, he, he.
08:25Yeah, we've been friends ever since.
08:27I recommend everyone have a pet worm.
08:30You can't live in a trash can without him.
08:32What does Elmo do when he has made a mistake?
08:37Huh.
08:38Uh, well, Elmo knows about this one.
08:40You know, Elmo reminds himself that it's okay to make mistakes.
08:44You know, we all make mistakes, but it's important to not give up and, and keep trying until you get
08:49it.
08:49You know, if Elmo made a mistake or did some, something to hurt one of Elmo's friends feelings, Elmo apologizes
08:56and says sorry.
08:58It's very important to say sorry.
08:59And know why you're saying sorry, too.
09:02And then Elmo reminds himself that we all make mistakes and it's okay to make them.
09:07Yeah.
09:07Yeah.
09:08Um, I think I actually made a mistake right now.
09:11Oh, really?
09:12Yeah, this question was for Abby.
09:13Oh, it was for Abby?
09:14What?
09:14Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.
09:16I just kind of agree with what Elmo said.
09:18It was so beautiful.
09:20Ah, thanks, Abby.
09:20Yeah.
09:21We almost had a lot of experience learning about mistakes.
09:24Tell me about it.
09:26Okay, Abby, this one is for you.
09:27Okay.
09:28What is the most magical thing about Sesame Street?
09:33Oh, that's easy, Grover.
09:35The most magical thing about Sesame Street is all the joy and kindness that we have there.
09:40I mean, we're monsters and fairies and chicken and people and big bird and all kinds of different,
09:48all of us getting together in the community and everyone feels the love and the joy and
09:55we celebrate and we have a Snuffleupagus.
09:59Right?
10:00That's true.
10:00That is true.
10:00I mean, where else are you going to find a Snuffleupagus?
10:03That's true.
10:03Big bird, right?
10:05Yeah.
10:05Yeah, I do not know.
10:06I mean, it's big and huge and magical.
10:08I mean, what?
10:09Yeah.
10:09Is there a Snuffleupagus land or something?
10:11No.
10:12Not that Elmo's a weird one.
10:14Well, that was a great question.
10:16Oh, yeah.
10:17Thank you so much for having us in style and we hope everybody out there has a great day.
10:22Yeah.
10:23Hey, now I want a bagel, right?
10:25Oh, yeah.
10:25Let's go get some rain.
10:27Yeah.
10:28With a smear.
10:29Oh, I know what you like.
