up" at 10:00 eastern on cnbc. yet city is saying good-bye to one of the most recognized features. those iconic red phone booths, but first, this is "today" on nbc.

back now at 8:48. what comes to mind when you think of london, guys? >> the olympics there, those great cabs. >> yeah. >> and those red phone booths. >> absolutely. and as nbc's keir simmons explains, some of the iconic symbols are now becoming a thing of the past. keir, good morning. >> reporter: hey there, guys. good morning. it doesn't get more british than this. a red phone booth. hold on a second. i'm going to have to phone you back. i'm live on the "today" show. sorry about that. where was i? these phone booths now, the problem is they're getting

replaced by cell phones like these and they aren't the only british icon that you may one day only see in the movies. in a quiet corner of england, once bright red now slowly rusting. what used to be a national symbol today symbolizes how quickly life is changing. a world where a pocket of change connected you to e the folks back home fast disappearing with cell phones and texts and e-mails. look at this. these are britain's heritage, right? >> they are. they are the most frequently seen bits of the british image. >> reporter: across britain you can still see them, you just can't use them. they're so iconic, they've even been turned into a work of art. one's even been turned into a little library. christian lewis restores the pay phones right down to the rotaries and the coin slots.

>> people of a certain age will remember when they hear a coin in there and a rattle or ding. that takes you back. >> reporter: and text messages and e-mails spell doom for another icon. after all, who sends mail these days? sorry, your majesty. and another thing, the famously talkative black cab driver may not be in a black cab. the latest taxis are environmentally friendly many colors now. >> i'm a traditionist. i like the idea of a taxi in london being black. black cabs, red bus. >> reporter: there is still time to make that trip across the pond and see things the way they used to be. but you may need to hurry before old fashioned england is just history. the one british thing that never seems to go away is all of this rain, guys. apparently you are able to adopt

these phone boxes. i don't know what you'll do with them once you have adopted them. but just a little production secret, by the way, these phone boxes as long as i have lived have always come with an -- how can i put it -- an iconic smell. but thankfully the production team used some disinfectant over the last few hours to make it easier to do this live shot. >> keir, i remember years ago walking into one of those things and noticing that smell immediately. so i'm glad you have the disinfectant. keir, thank you. appreciate it. >> it's a pleasure. >> it is sad. i love those symbols. especially when you look at old movies even of new york and you see the old cabs. >> you can adopt them though. >> do they even have phone booths in new york city anymore? even pay phones. when i see them, i stop. oh, a pay phone. >> and there's no phone to it anymore. >> only in new york.

>> you stand there and text somebody on your cell phone. >> we'll be back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.

converted to judaism for the jokes. >> yeah. tim watt lley. >> yes. >> that was me. >> over her career she's won five emmys and had 18 nominatio nominations. >> he was on "seinfeld," yeah. >> that was the best. that was when he did the -- the mustache and the -- very nice. in fact, later on when the "breaking bad" crew was in our room, he decided -- he said i need some mustache wax. and he took his pinky and put it in aaron paul's ear. >> oh. >> come on. >> yeah. he was on fire. >> to which al said, you know, maybe it's good that this run is over. i think you've been around each other a little too long. >> yikes. >> my gosh. so seth meyers was the host. we were excited to see our nbc

guy up there d. did a great job. i love the bit he did about hbo growing up to be one of the cool kids. >> hbo is like the kid you grew up with who ended up doing way better than you expected. 99 nominations. when i first met hbo all it had was "grease 2" and "fraggle rock." i wish i was nicer to him. how many times do people want to watch a movie? one day i'm going to make a show about dragons. okay, buddy. best of luck. >> and how great was jimmy kimmel coming up there, i mean, blowing it away. taking on matthew mcconaughey. it was great. check this out. >> you were great in "true detective." you may well be the best actor, but you just won the oscar like five months ago. no offense, but how many of those speeches of yours are we supposed to sit through?

i mean, all right, all right, all right already. that's not a television face. that's a movie star face right there. where is -- where's ricky? ricky. now, that is a television face. >> and then gervais obliged and gave a television face. he did. so mcconaughey got a lot of play last night. >> yes, he did. >> a lot of people checking him out. he and woody harrelson came up to present together. they had the maroon suit on harrelson, the blue suit on matthew. and some people online drawing comparisons to "the night at the roxbury" guys from "snl." in fact, chris kattan tweeted out, this is just weird. >> but they looked great. the combo. individually they alooked amazing. then when you got them

together -- >> they looked weird. >> oh. >> it's hard for matthew mcconaughey to look bad. >> i didn't use the word bad. it's just the combo. >> i loved it. i love the midnight blue tux al had going. got a lot of ideas last night. >> would you wear a burgundy suit, guys? >> you know, i actually have a burgundy jacket. i almost wore that, but then i would have looked like woody harrelson. >> you guys already look so similar. it would be confusing. >> people confuse us -- people run up to me like, what was it like on "cheers". >> oh, the golden years. >> there was a beautiful moment last night. we knew we were going to pay tribute to robin williams at the emmys. it was billy crystal that did the job. he was pitch perfect. let's watch what he said. >> it's very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives.

for almost 40 years. he was the brightest star in a comedy galaxy. but while some of the brightest of our celestial bodies actually stink now. their energy long since cooled. but miraculously because they float in the heavens so far away from us now, their beautiful light will continue to shine on us forever. and the glow will be so bright -- >> then he had a line later, said robin williams what a concept. >> i love that. what a way to describe him. >> short, sweet, and beautifully written and delivered by billy crystal. >> as you knew it would be. >> yes. he lived up to expectations with that. al you had fun as well with your celeb selfies, i understand. i didn't see them. what did you get? >> you know, anybody who was -- >> oh, wow. >> we got seth there and jim parsons. matthew mcconaughey and his wife.

raised you differently. i'm sorry i don't know any facts about you. your brother's baby book contains so much information about his first year he can see every time he spit up. i'm sorry you look like a candidate for whatnot to wear baby edition. your brother had all new super cute clothes and you mostly his hand me downs. i've also loved you with every piece of me and i will never apologize for that. it was a little tongue in cheek and there's a lot of truth to what she's saying. i have two children. i was just talking to my wife about this. i like getting her input on it. she said not that you love or give any less of yourself, it's that you don't worry so much about all these. oh, my gosh, they're not walking yet, they're not potty trained yet. >> like the cheerio falls on the floor. with the first kid you throw out the box. the second one you're like here. >> kid's going walk eventually. it's fine. you just don't worry as much about it. >> it makes me sad she said i'm

now here's the deal. there's this gadget. it's 22 bucks. it's called the knee defender. you attack it to the tray table and it prevents the people in front of you from reclining. the seat they paid for. so the fight reportedly started when a man used the knee defender while he was on his laptop. a flight attendant asked him to remove it. when he refused the woman in front of him reportedly stood up, turned around, threw water in the guy's face. >> look out. >> the flight was diverted to chicago. both passengers were kicked off the plane. no arrests were made. ap reported that the airlines prohibits the use of the knee defender. united's statement confirmed the incident. i don't know if the lady should have been kicked off the plane. >> who threw the water. >> it wasn't the right thing to do, of course. but the person put the knee defender on your seat and the flight attendant says to him take it off. he refuses.

i mean, should the person who threw the water be kicked off too? >> i don't know what the extent of the fight was after the water. were they going at it? >> we haven't heard about that. >> it is a small plane. but this knee defender, who invented it and how -- is that in an airline magazine? >> i've seen it in catalogs. but my thing would have been okay you're going to put that there, i'm going to kick your seat the whole flight. i'm just going to start banging the back of your seat. >> you're in front. >> oh, that's right. >> then it's back punching. i'm going to start going like that. i'm going to put that defender. >> you know what, al? if i'm one of the other passengers in the flight trying to get where i'm going, really you diverted me. i got a meeting, i got to see my kids. because you were having a water fight over the knee defender. >> but then you think what if it's you one day that someone

puts a knee defender. so she stood up for all of us. >> she's a hero. >> she stood up and threw water for all of us. >> she's norma ray. >> well, anyway. let's show you what you got for your weather today. whether you're flying or not. if you're flying through the upper midwest and the plains, look out for showers and thunderstorms. chicago, omaha, we've got activity through nebraska. and some of this rain's going to be pretty heavy over the next 48 hours. we're talking about up to 5 inches between north platt and des moines, iowa. so we're going to be watching that possibility of some flooding. rest of the country we expect to see the heat continue in the plains. the feels like temperatures from st. louis to dallas over $100 degrees. and tomorrow it moves to the east. temperatures again feeling well over 100 in st. louis. but look at this. 91 it will feel like in boston. 92 in that's what's going on around

strong 6.0 quake. napa valley public schools are still closed for the second day, today so that officials can continue to inspect the schools for damage. the cone street pedestrian bridge remains closed. it is the only bridge that was damaged in the quake and in need of repairs. no word on when it will reopen. and 70 buildings in napa are now red tagged. more than 200 buildings are yellow tagged. red tagged mean is no entry, yellow tagged means limited entry. we're also getting word of the closure of highway 29 in napa for repairs. mike inouye will have more on that and christina will have your forecast after the break.

welcome back now. the time is 9:28. right now your temperatures still in the low 60s. we're on our way to the upper 70s to low 80s for most spots across the bay area. but you'll hit the upper 60s today in san francisco. a stretch of 70s coming your way starting tomorrow in the city by the bay. 87 for the north bay and 78 degrees, comfortable on the east shore. so here's where we're headed.

>> why did i make such a big deal about it? >> a lot of people wonder what is a healthy amount of sex to have in a long relationship. what do you think? do the numbers show anything? >> there's no magic number. you have to have enough that it doesn't get stale but you don't have so much that it gets predictable. >> why do you think so many of these things are just appealing to so -- thousands and thousands of people -- >> because people -- a lot of times couples say they don't want sex. a lot of times what i experience is they just don't want sex with him or they don't want the type of sex they've been having. >> they want something else. >> when we talk about sex, we're not necessarily talking about intercourse. and older couples might be very sexual but they don't necessarily fall into the traditional definition of sex. >> there are all kinds of intimacy. >> there are. >> we wondered how often are people having sex. because that's what we care about.

this was the percentages, 6% said every day. >> what? >> they're lying. >> 25% said three to five times per week. >> 52% said one to times on a good week. and 17% who say they can't remember the last time -- >> it's how you define sex. are we being sexual? if i'm not being sexual with me wife every day, i think i'm failing as a husband. that doesn't mean we're actually having intercourse but it means i'm going to put the fact that we're a romantic connection first. we can be lovers and best friends but only in the order of that priority. >> people confuse love with sex. >> and you have to look at the age, if you poll a bunch of 20-year-olds, that's going to be very different than if you interview that's 60. the purpose of sex, of course, is reproduction and we're not reproducing in the 50s and 60s. >> if people are watching and are concerned, we always say the

same things, have a date night. >> that doesn't help. >> it's the idea that it doesn't help to take a bubble bath and have date night if when you do try and have sex, it feels like you're having sand paper in your vagina. >> oh, that was unfortunate. we were doing really well till then. >> karen from baltimore is across the street with a question. help us, karen. >> i'm. i'm karen from baltimore, maryland. i'm a police officer and i work midnights. when i get home, we have seven children. i was wondering how we can have intimate time during the all the craziness and scheduling with the children. >> she's an extreme children. >> she's had enough! >> you know they've had sex for sure. >> oh, honey. >> clearly she wants to have more intimacy in her life. any advice for her? >> you have to make it a priority. we are a romantic relationship. when? and also, i'll tell you, when

need an s.o.s. a scheduled orgasm schedule. >> have the kids figured out what that means? >> i hope not. but now that they're watching -- >> lock the door. get rid of them. but part of it also is the insomnia issue when somebody this busy is operating on two minutes of sleep. if you finally get a little time off, you want to sleep. and i think that's such an important point that people don't address is you need to get some rest. >> we hope this has entertained you at home and you've learned a little something you can apply to your personal life. >> thank you so much. >> thanks, guys. does your motorcycling neighbor think he's the leader of the pack? >> how to get him to keep the noise down before he becomes a real drag. and bobbi thomas is here with the questions she gets most. heck, i saved judith here a fortune with discounts like safe driver, multi-car, paperless.

everyone says leaves of three you want to stay away. that is absolutely true. if you see a leaf that has three clovers or anything, stay away. >> moekt bite -- mosquito bites is another one. when you get bitten, i say i have a mosquito bite but i don't know -- >> could have been a spider, could have been a bee. >> true, true. >> a lot of us, in this area, we are getting mosquito bites. they just sprayed for them. they are pesky. most of us aren't going to get west nile from them. but some of us can be really allergic to them. i have strong reactions to them. they are attracted to dark clothing, alcohol, perfume, sweat, pregnant women. >> now we know why. >> they love -- oh, really, pregnant women? >> different blood types. the important thing to do is treat the itchy symptoms. you have an antihistamine to use at home, you can do that. if you had generalized symptoms like a fever or rash that started, you want to see a doctor about it. >> you know, speaking of that, remember last year i didn't see

a doctor for the longest time because i had a bee sting. within a couple days, i looked like i had elephantitis. >> and bee stings, that can be different and scarier. >> a lot of people are highly allergic to them. and they get anaphylaxis -- >> that's what i had. >> you get everything. >> it was hideous. it may be a bee sting, but maybe not, a wasp or yellow jacket. it could be something else. if you have swelling like that, you need to see someone right away. for most of us, if you get a bee sting, what you should do, this is interesting. don't use tweezers to pick off the stinger. there's a venom sack attached to that stinger and you can keep injecting venom into your skin. >> what do you do? >> use a credit card or your fingernail with a straight end to scratch it off. >> weird. >> take a credit card with you. >> we do that! >> i never leave it at home. >> spiders, how do you know if you have been bitten by one?

>> sometimes you might not know until a couple hours later. a couple spiders you need to watch out for. if you live in the midwest, you want to look out for the black widow. everyone's heard about it, but may not know what it looks like. interestingly, it's got this little shape on its body like an hourglass. >> and the red spot. >> if you get bit, what do you do? >> it will look like fangs. you may not know you were bitten. you may not have symptoms until 15 minutes or an hour later. you can have nausea, vomiting and even seizures. if you have those symptoms, see a doctor. >> you could die from one, can't you, if you are that allergic to them? >> usually black widows aren't as severe as the brown recluse. if you get bitten by one of those, go to an emergency room. >> thank you. have an awesome day.
