because you sent in your best days er that? >> it will be part of it.

he wine bot out. >> and i have a perfect record on the winebot. perfect for ll righty. this is our issue. a new bill has been introducey legislature to outlaw texting while walking.

>> that was lame. >> certain things are worth it. >> okay. i think >> okay. joke over. nice talking to you. all right. if you draw blood, be back. if it passes, what could happen? >> you could face 15 days in >> a $50 fine. >> or both. so do you think it's a good idea for someone like right now alex would be on his way to prison for 15 days because >> sounds like a good idea. [ applause ] >> so the question is it okay. so i think that the way too ridiculous and severe if you are texting and walking. kid texts you something important and you have to text him back. you're under arrest kathie lee, cody needed something.

why don't you hashtag it team hoda for a change. >> let's go back to the initial idea of this. we're wondering if itagainst the law. >> illegal and you should go to jail and pay a fine. >> we're just asking should it be -- >> that's what i thought. >> no, now you're try -- >> no. i think it should be a >> here's the choice. >> hoda! >> do you get arrested and go to jail or do you not. that's what we're ou want to win that battle. >> stop it. >> i haven't even started yet, guys and you got the winebot i'll give her this one. >> no, don't give it to me. >> what if somebody is going to be killed because they're not looking around? they're either going to go -- they're going to go into a bus, a bus is going to a pedestrian is going to fall, you're going to sue the city. it's so dangerous to walk and be doing this.

somebody is going to die pum they're making this a law. >> jail. >> this is the idea. should texting while walking be >> what's the penalty? >> that was the question, hoda. ted aked out is because when they talked about the penalty i said, 15 days in jail for being arrested. if it was a misdemeanor and you were like hey, slap on do it. >> then they're going to keep on doing it. >> exactly. well finally the starting to win. >> that's what's wrong with our tion. our laws don't me anything. >> let's just debate texting and walking. >> if it was somebody you loved that got killed, it would be law. >> and if your son cody was going to prison for 15 days job you wouldn't like it. >> i wouldn't like it but he it again. >> what if you went to jail tomorrow because you had to text

>> i don't know who andy is.'t matter. it's important. >> i wouldn't do ill while i'm walkinhen i'm sitting down. i think it's much more dangerous than we give it attribute. >> can we take one wine because i don't think it's going to last. >> the question as we know is should it be illegal to text whale nd go to jail. let's send justin bieber to or believers. tell them why. >> this is interesting. justin has announced -- >> that looks a bit like a woman right there. i'm sorry. i keep thinking, is thatristen stewart? does it not like like kristen stewart? is that bieber? >> yes. he just announced on instagram that he's not long going to have meet and greets with fansbackstage after con seshts

fans pay up to $2,000 fsh or that let's read why justin originally said he wanted to make this change. he said, quote, i enjoy meetingible people but i end up feeling so drained and filled is so many of other people's spiritual energy that i end uped and unhappy. i warrant to make people smile and happy but not at my and i always leave feeling mentally exhausted to the point of depression. the pressure of meeting people'st he's supposed to be is too much to handle. and he wants to stay in a healthy mind. >> he has 114 showsom now until late november. maybe he should not do as many tours and live up to his obligations. i think he's awfully young andy fit to be so exhausted. look what taylor swift does with her fans. and iit.

i've been in this business a long long time. i've never heard of peopleid. charity stuff. but you get paid? somebody gets paid for you doing what you should hello to your fans and be kind to them. not thousands of them. >> $2,000 for a backstage meet and greet?rd of that. >> but at taylor's concert, i continue know this because of ot picked, they hand pick super fans from the audience and bring them back as a >> there's no money. obviously people are going to get their money back. it's not a good idea to disappoint fans at that point.e already agreed to he should do and maybe change the policy afterwards. but that is notpeople that love you will stay with you for the rest of your career if you treat them right. >> you've been in the business for a long time and

that, what did you have to do? what's the drill? >> regis and i -- for years iing nightclub acts. then regis and i did it 20 years together. you go out there and all the ll waiting to see you, you see. >> right. you know? if you're working inty, they'll bring in the high rollers. that doesn't mean that we got paid any more but that's what you do working for them.to say hello to high rollers. >> the company backstage who organizes some of these things. they said it was a issue. they claimed there was some security issue that forced them to cancel all of the meet andhen justin put out the instagram that said he was tired or whatever he said exactly. >> who knows what's going on in his private life. if he would stop some of thatess he wouldn't be so tired. just me, just a mother speaking. i love the kid. i've known him a long long time

we know. >> and i think anyone who has been a sounding board for a friend who's been in painmetimes you do take on the pain with you and i's not simple. >> this is different, though. he's very good about going to t and being there for sick kids. that's a different thing. he's talking about after his shows. not dumping their problems on him, i don't think. they're just thrilled to meet him. we'll see. hoda is winning by i hope nobody gets hit by a bus. this is going to helpes go go to the rest room. you can't go. jennifer garner told this great story about when she had dress she didn't know how to use the bathroom because i.d. was big and flowy. there's something called ay.
