>> we do the show in chicago, and then we go to the airport to come back to new york, and both of the men show up. >> in the airport. we were having a drink. what else is new? in the bar. they walk up. both of them. >> separately. >> first the one that got the date shows up. that's all right. we'll sit with him. then the other guy who didn't get the date, a doctor. >> he is very cute. >> adorable. >> so, anyway -- >> oh. >> awkward. >> if you haven't seen enough of kim kardashian -- >> and who hasn't? >> she is now posing in what appears to be naked with her boyfriend on a french magazine called "ofici leon." >> which means? >> official men. >> and it looks like they're -- >> the last i heard was kim wanted her privacy. that's the latest deal. >> i don't get it. >> i think it would be just another kanye and kim cover if

it weren't accompanied by the fact that they want desperately their privacy and how much kanye is teaching her about that, and it just is incongruous. you have to be taken seriously by what you do and what you say, and those two things are at odds, to most people. >> i don't know how much she got paid for this cover. we were trying to find out. but apparently when she did "playboy" she got a quarter of a million dollars. >> for the cover and the inside. careful. >> and then i think there was some other -- she gets paid a lot to do these things, but you also wonder too -- >> you wonder, too, i turned down a certain paycheck to show up at a certain place to be paid $1 million just to show up. i told you. i was having lunch with chris when we were out in los angeles and the phone rings, and it's kim, and she'd just gotten back from rio de janeiro the day before. she's four months pregnant with her little girl now, i think, and i said where is kim? she's at the airport. where did she go now? she just got home. nigeria. that's what she does, though.

by their own admission, they're not actresses, they're not singers. that's what she gets paid to do. >> i'm not judging, but you do wonder when is it enough? like, when do you have enough bank? why do you have to keep getting the next paycheck when you clearly are doing very well. i know it's for a moment in time and you feel like you got to strike while the iron is hot. >> i think that's what it is. >> i feel sort of like how many houses do you need? how much do you need? that's my question. >> everybody has a different answer to that question, don't they, hoda woman? all you need is for somebody to return your wallet, and you're a happy person. >> can i tell you something -- >> as little as there is in that wallet or as much as there is, it doesn't matter to you. it's the simple things in life that make life worth living. >> oh, my god. ♪ little acts of kindness, not the taking but the giving ♪ ♪ it's the limb things that matter as you make your way through life ♪ ♪ it's the way you treat your neighbor it's the way you treat your wife ♪ . >> always --

online and other places. they don't all sit and wait. >> the trend turned, and that's what they were trying to get a new demographic, and they got it. >> speaking of trends, did you see the other trend that people are talking about in fashion at the oscars? the sneaker trend. >> oh. this is a matter of age. notice who is doing it. >> there are a couple of people who said i'm not doing the heels. i am doing the sneakers, and those two people were sally fields. >> good for her. she's over it. >> she got cozy, and bradley cooper's mother. if you look closely. you don't have to look that closely. there they are. >> you have bradley cooper on your arm, you can wear anything you want. don't you think? notice, these ladies are of a certain maturity. >> they're also smarter than everyone else. >> that's called maturity. there are probably a couple of bunions involved. >> let's talk about cheating. this is important information. what constitutes cheating, infidelity?

>> it depends on the person. >> it does. >> it depends what you think about what cheating is. >> here's -- according to the university of michigan study, and we're going to vote on what we think is cheating. >> this is always so interesting. >> sexual intercourse, is that cheating? okay. let's just move on. yes. i'm going down the list. >> you know what, 97.7 people -- percentage thought so. who are the people -- who are the 3%? who are you? >> is oral sex cheating? >> do we have to discuss? >> let's move on. kissing on the lips? >> you know what, i say yes, but -- >> i will say -- i say yes with a caveat. >> i will say -- >> you say no? >> i say no, and i will tell you why. >> why? >> because one of the hardest things in the world to do is when you are kissing somebody and you know what you are doing is wrong, you leave, and you tell me that that's not a hard thing to do. >> kissing on the lips. >> yes.

>> is that a -- >> no, it's not like going all the -- if you had a choice between your partner kissing somebody and having full -- >> here's the thing. i'm saying if some guys walks up -- >> are you talking to me? >> if some guy walks up to me and gives me his lips. in the south some men do that, friends. >> and perverts. >> you kiss them on the lips, is that cheating? >> if some guy comes up and kisses you on the lips and you had no intention to kiss him on the lips? no. >> okay good. moving on. >> i'm just saying the hardest -- it's not -- everybody is tempted in life. the hardest thing in the world is to walk away from it. when you are in the throes of it. that's hard, hoda woman. >> okay. let's move on. texting erotic messages. >> that's not good. >> is it cheating? e-mailing pictures naked. >> that's just fine. what are we talking? >> holding hands. is that cheating? >> i hold hands with my brother. >> and regis. >> forming a deep emotional bond?

>> that is falling in love, and that's more dangerous, actually, than a one-nightstand. >> i agree. >> how about this? sitting in someone's lap, and you know you have done that. come on. you do it on this show. >> i would pick out the more -- i would on purpose pick out the gentleman that, first of all, was having fun. you could tell. usually if he didn't have any hair and was quite roly poly, that's the guy. i admit i have sat in about 5,000 laps. in my 40 years of life performing. >> what does frank think when you are sitting in anyone's lap, even for fun. >> no. when i was on stage with that guy -- yep, yep, yep. frank -- >> frank does not even like you looking at someone else. i've seen it. >> but he didn't mind anytime my nightclub act. >> if certain people were sitting in the audience that were threatening to him, then -- he would have minded. >> yeah. >> i think that's what it comes

said. there hasn't been a country radio station here in quite a while, so it's hard to promote your shows when you come here. >> you know what's changing, though, i was down in the keys the last couple of weeks, and i was listening to all you and your cohorts on "the highway." which is sirius. then it goes everywhere. it's making great inroads. >> that definitely helps a lot, but, you know, i think coming here playing a place like the garden, that's such -- >> that's cool. >> that's such a cool venue, and to come in and sell it out, it was great, but to sell it out that quick, was not quite what -- you know. >> it's interesting. it's unique. sometimes you hear a country song, and you say automatically i know exactly what this is. you have a little country, a little rap going on. tell us about your style. >> well, you know, i grew up in middle georgia, which is, you know, hotbed for southern rock music. >> allman brothers country? >> absolutely. i grew up listening to country, southern rock, blues, r & b, you know, a little bit of everything. just from my hometown, i mean,

well throughout parts of the south and then really going to plummet by this weekend as far south as florida. orlando only into the 60s by friday. cooler to the north in minneapolis, upper 20s. not quite as much precipitation on the map by this weekend. so getting a bit of a break throughout a huge portion of the country. a few showers possible. the disturbance moves through parts of the south into the appalachians, might see some snow in the higher elevations. going cold enough even parts of the south might see a few flurries this weekend. nothing to get too excited about. anytime you see snowflakes flying in the south it's kind of a neat deal. then in the northwest another system moving onshore for monday. that's going to work farther inland along the northern tier with a chance for some snow on monday. still a few showers in new england. and things at leaf the temperatures starting to rebound throughout parts of the southeast. milder air working back in. upper 50s in atlanta, 70 in orlando. remember, week days on the weather channel you can wake up with al and stephanie.
