On Monday, July 1, the official Today With Hoda & Jenna Instagram account posted a clip from their conversation involving showers.
"I'm all about saving time," Kotb said. "So in my shower, I have all my hair products, all my body wash products, the glove with, like, the loofah thing."
"The other thing I like to do is, 'Oh, there is my toothbrush. While I'm in here, I'm gonna put it on,'" she continued while gesturing as if adding toothpaste and brushing her teeth.
Kotb added: "'Oh, look at me. My conditioner is setting in, I'm brushing my teeth, I know how long this takes,' and then," she added before mimicking spitting in the shower. "All done. Out."
Meanwhile, Bush Hager sat next to her with a shocked and disgusted look on her face.

Kotb acknowledged there are some people, like Bush Hager, who are "horrified" by the idea of brushing their teeth in the shower.
"Yes, I do believe that the shower is not a place to brush our teeth," the former first daughter shared, jokingly adding, "I believe that's why God made a sink. Or a human."
She further explained, "You go get in the shower and you step on your plaque? You step on all the gunk?"
Although Kotb pointed out that she steps in everything she's washing off her body but it all goes down the drain, Bush Hager still wasn't sold on the practice, declaring, "I stand by the sink."
