i just put it on there. if you want this to make it there for you, it's good. but i wonder if it's good for the investment? >> i think there's too much pressure put on people to have a big wedding and sometimes just an understated affair that you can afford would be fine. >> one night in vegas, couple of drinks. did i say that wrong? i'm so sorry. >> you're a hopeless romantic. i got goose bumps. >> congratulations to the couple. up next, how will that earthquake out in california impact the wine industry? we'll find out. plus he'll reveal great fall wines for under $20. hoda and kathie lee are screaming somewhere. but first this is "today" on nbc.

back now at 8:41. fall arrives in less than a month. this morning we're getting you ready with the best wines for the upcoming season. the best part about this,

they're all under $20. we have one of the hosts of nbc's "restaurant start-up." before we get to the show and the wines let's talk a bit of wine. obviously an earthquake in napa yesterday. pretty severe, a lot of damage. how's it going to impact the wine industry? >> i think the vintage was still out in the vineyard. all the grapes are perfectly protected and fine. had all that crushed juice been fermenting, could have been much worse. >> no impact on price? >> the industry is very big. it goes outside of napa valley. we'll see what happens with pricing. but it's an unfortunate event. >> let's talk pricing. everything today is under $20. >> when you go into fall you think of getting away from the lighter wines. this is proseco. this is a rose. >> what are they about 5%?

10%? >> gives it more fruity. what would you serve that with? >> like a light salad, chicken, something off the grill. you're still grilling in the fall. then your regular prosecco. floral bodied whites. pinot grigio. people think that is light. this is a fuller body pinot grigio. >> i like light, i have to say. >> this has more grip to it. >> delicious. >> this is interesting. from the republic of georgia. >> so not the state of georgia. this is georgia georgia. >> yes. this is the first place they say in the world wine was ever made. the longest. this is wine that's interesting to see this area of the world making wines that are modern, technically correct, very, very good. then we move into the reds. people think of fall and winter, they think of reds. this is a merlot from eastern italy.

this is the wine to have on the night your kids are going back to school. so when the kids go back to school, you open this up, you're at home, maybe you're going to have a grilled skirt steak. and you're going to have it with this merlot. >> this has a great aroma. >> great merlot. it's not as fruity as the american merlots. italian is more leafy. >> interesting. >> this is under 20 bucks. 15 bucks, i think. >> can i just say something? this one back here from georgia, this is like $12. that's not bad. >> this is the wine barber barbera d'alba. so this is when you're gathering the trick-or-treat basket and your kids are out. >> you'll have to carry me away from this segment. >> matt, it's been a lot of years we've been doing this. you have to get your sea legs

eventually. >> go ahead. >> everyone loves malbec. thick hearty, really delicious, extracted gemmy wine. people love it. >> while i smell this, talk about "restaurant start-up." it's a great show. guys with a concept to get you to invest. >> and we did invest. people from all over the country came with their restaurant ideas. me and tim invested in a bunch of different restaurants. it was a great first season. tonight is the finale. so it's a big finale. >> and good news. >> the great news, season two coming at you. there will be a second season of "restaurant start-up." if you think you can cook, some see us. >> and he'll write you a check. catch the season finale tonight

at 10:00 eastern and pacific time on cnbc. up next, london not calling. why the city is saying good-bye to one of the most iconic features, the red phone booths. but first this is "today" on nbc.

♪ ♪ i ♪ know i can't deny... ♪ that i got a new feeling ♪ deep inside... ♪ [ female announcer ] with five perfectly sweetened

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.

all right. we're back now at 8:53. let's get some birthday wishes from our dear friend willard scott. hey, willard. >> we're proud to be here at the farm. happy birthday. how sweet it is. pearl druck.

good morning, everyone, i'm chris cato. let's start with your first alert forecast. bill, it's warming up nicely out there. >> we saw 86 degrees yesterday in philadelphia. looks like 88 this afternoon. on the shore, temperatures will be in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees.

bright sunny skies and it's beautiful from the comcast center. right now philadelphia's up to 76. wild wood 73. cooler along the coast through the day for the jersey shore and the delaware beaches. 78 degrees, but there is a threat of rape currents, thanks to cristobal staying offshore in the atlantic. >> there are a come combination of cristobal and -- some shore towns are restricting how far people can go into the ocean. in sea isle city, people can't go any deeper than their waist. this comes as most towns have fewer life guards on staff because many have gone back to college for this season. >> some fast thinking about firefighters gave people a chance to get out of their apartment building alive this morning. fire broke out in the grant apartment building. no one was outside, and they didn't hear any smoke alarms so

they knocked on doors, to wake up residents and get everyone out safely. harding highway near franklin township, he died at the hospital, the 21-year veteran died on the force at the time. i'm chris another update for you in 25 minutes. now we go back to the "today" show, have a great tuesday.

it was hot. it was about 83 degrees out. everybody was shvitzing. >> you were a cool customer. we didn't see it at all. you were there. you got to talk to all these stars. "breaking bad," "modern family." bryan cranston and julianna margulies. everybody talking about when julia louis-dreyfus won her award and was making her way to the stage. she gag been when they were on stage together presenting for best actor in a comedy and later came full circle when julia won for best actress. let's watch. >> you look so much like the actor in "seinfeld" who played the dentist that i dated as elaine, you know, and who

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. gwen. sarah silverman.

minnie driver, lena dunham. just a few. >> what's your technique to get these a-list celebrities? >> i drop a $20. >> veteran move. >> they stop. that's how i get it. >> celebs gravitate to al roker. jennifer lawrence on the biggest night of her life was talking about al roker. >> roker technique. look at him blushing. come on. you know you like it. >> stop it. >> keep going. keep going. stop. little bit more. little bit more. well, you looked amazing in your suit. and another amazing red carpet et moment. take a look at this one. that's al. >> that's not a good look. >> but 7-year-old edie. the make a wish foundation wanted to give her this opportunity. and giuliana rancic took her on

the red carpet dressed up for this. edie is from lake mary, florida. she was diagnosed with cancer of the retina when she was only 19 months old. she is cancer free now and red carpet bringing it. adorable moment. you know what? thank you for making her wish come true. look at the pose. she gave a little angelina jolie. >> hip out. >> she was like i watch e. i know how to do it. >> incredible. >> okay. little bit different topic here. do you think where you fall in your family makes a difference how you're treated? >> birth order. >> "huffington post" ran a story, an apology letter to my second child. the mother of two writing you're only 11 months old and i already

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

sorry. saying i don't know about you, i'm sorry. >> but here's the deal. you know, as the first born, i don't see any problem with that. >> works well for the first born. >> i agree. i love being my mother's favorite child. sorry, todd. it happens. >> okay. getting deep here. >> al relates to it. >> i'm the oldest. >> i'm the oldest also. >> that's interesting. we're all first borns. >> yeah. and not too competitive. >> our siblings love us. >> i think they do. >> yeah. don't take a poll. >> i won't poll. but we have to get your input on this story as well, al. united flight from newark to denver was forced into a -- they diverted the flight, an unscheduled stop on sunday because two passengers got into a fight over a seat that would not recline. 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 the countr

i have friends always asking for beauty advice. i give them the knowledge i know. >> and now you have millions going on your youtube videos. you say there's five things we should have in our makeup back. >> mascara, brows, blush, also a lip product, and a base. so concealer or foundation to give a more even complexion. >> so we should always have this with us. >> always. >> we have two women. i love how we've done this. one-half of her face is bare. the other half has been done by missy. tell me what you did here. >> basically i applied mascara to open her eyes here. and i plied a red lip. which takes attention off of her eyes. if you're pressed for time, use a lip color that is the center of attention. >> pressed for time, pick the lips. >> yes. it takes the focus off your entire face. >> and i like how she still looks natural with this pop.

obviously you see the difference in the lip but she's still clean with a pop. i think that's key. because i don't want to look like i'm performing in theater here. next is diana. what did you do? >> with diana i focused on the brows. it gives her more of a youthful look. >> is that what our viewer can do? >> yes, ma'am. you always go with more of a brow powder than a look. opposed to using a pencil. >> and trick for finding the right foundation. test it on your cheek? >> your chest. >> whenever people sew you, you see it as a whole. >> we're back right after this. this is "today." >> thank you.

all too often couples get into a rut when it comes to intimacy. >> and very quickly sex can fall to the bottom of the to-do list as seen in the movie "date night". >> no, no, no, you just put it in your mouth -- >> oh, oh. we could still fool around. >> really? only if you're into it. >> no, i would love to. let me just get the -- >> yeah, okay, you know what, no? i'm totally fine if we don't. >> how do you address your issues and reconnect with your partner? dr. lauren striker is the author of "love, sex again."

>> and hal runkle is a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of the scream-free institute. we're not going into detail. >> good to see you both. it is a problem for -- we're living longer. >> that's right. >> if we're still in a marriage, all of a sudden you're celebrating your 70th wedding anniversary. >> for a lot of people, intimacy is something you're so busy that you don't even have time to take care of it. >> i think we have to recognize that there's a cycle of sex throughout our lives. and in your 20s, it's all about sex all the time. and then in your 30s, it's sex with a purpose because you're trying to make a baby. in the 40s, you see the bed and all you want to do is go to sleep. and then in your 50s, it gets interesting. hopefully you're in that crowd that says, kids are gone, we used to like sex, let's reconnect. but all too often, that's not what's happening at all. >> and in your 60s, you're saying, did we ever have sex? >> what's sex?

>> 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.
