Whatever. Hodas going to have fun. I think hodas been cheating, i do. Along the way. A little bit. Not on the show. We have been on other shows, i have not had a sip on other shows, although they are pushing it. I did Mike Huckabees show on fox. The up with you did before. The saintly Mike Huckabee tried to do that to you . There was a glass there off camera and i said, oh, my god, whats that . We wanted you to feel at home. I reached for it. I wasnt going to drink it allegedly. He said it was called baptist wine, which is grape juice. Mr. Huckabee, hes a sweet man. Are you finished with your tour, book tour . Im going to go to palm beach this week and do a book signing. People love you down there. Thats a fun spot for us. At jennifer millers jewelry store. You have to share her. I will share. Okay, guess where were going. Were going to los angeles. Yes, we are. Were taking the show on the road, sunny california. All kinds of details how you can join us out there. Starting february 11th. Were going to have two weeks of shows. Two weeks of shows out there. Its going to rock and roll. Today, though, is mild here. Its going to be 50 degrees. Its just weird. Weird weather. 60some degrees, foggy where i live, wet. Saras out there in the wetness and looking for a couple of people in the crowd who are going to come in and get their game on with us. Get crazy. I want to see some of these people to see where were going to pick from. Oh, wow. Good. Building up. Excellent. Sad news this morning for ashley judd and her husband of 11 years. Hes the race car driver, a lot of people know, dario francetti. They said they were splitting, calling it quits. They put out a joint statement together saying they decided to mutually end their marriage. They always will be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on love, respect, integrity, and joy. These things are always well worded, and you understand why. They always ask for privacy at a time like this. I always say when i read back. Can you go back to what it says exactly . Here it is. That doesnt help me. Here it is. That makes it worse. Well always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed. If you have all that, then why cant you make the marriage work . Im not saying they dont have it, im not questioning. The wording is always interesting to me. I think if youve got all those components in your relationship, why would there not be hope for that marriage . We dont know what goes on. Thats what im saying. Is it just for the prepress. Something that struck me about her relationship with her husband. I remember being envious is a strong word, but thinking, wow, they are very, very lucky. I remember how it seemed how deep it was, how open it was, and how it seemed to be steamy, very kind of public steamy relationship. She kept saying, you know, we always keep our relationship, you know, keep the home fires burning, and sometimes after 11 years, you think god, if they can do that, why arent we doing that . Its hard to keep home fires burning if youre not home. Its very hard. Hes on the road. Thats a grueling schedule. Shes an actress. Almost never shoot movies and things where you live. Youre almost always on location. It takes a very, very extraordinary relationship to last through that sort of stuff. But back to the question, do people who seem to have all that chemistry and they talk about it and you peek in, is it real and why dont i have that. We saw that with heidi klum. I dont know why you dont have it, i pray for you every day. Mock tail, i dont even want it. We were so surprised when they broke up. Heidi klum and seal. They got married every year. Renewed their vows. Every time you saw them, they were kissing. Beautiful babies. Ashton kutcher and demi moore seemed to be publicly affectionate. When you saw them, you peeked in and thought if i could just have that. Not just that that keeps two people together. It helps. I think thats a big part of our culture problem. Whats that . The media tells us that its all about sex. Sex is a wonderful part of a Good Relationship but its one component. You could have the worlds greatest sex life and have a lousy marriage. But you always hope you can still have the steam after years and years and years and years. Whats the truth . You cant. Thats the end of that. You cant. You can have something thats even better and deeper. If thats what you want is just steamy and steamy, first of all, your bodies are going to tell you differently. You age and men lose their testosterone by the time they are age 50, theyve lost half of it. Women go through hormonal changes. Cranky. Setting yourself up for why dont you find a different kind of contentment and have those moments when you still rekindle what you have. You need the rekindling moments, too. Youre not the same person you were when you were 18 years old. You can still have romance and you can still have hot sex. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Not as often or as long. [ laughter ] but then you really appreciate it when you have it. Theres a lot of we talked about public affection, theres also public proposals. Weve been seeing tons of. If you google proposals 1,000 will come up. Thats why its not special to me. Too many people doing it and its lost its appeal. There was one in l. A. , guy decided he would propose to his girlfriend, threw a pink smoke bomb up in the air. Alert the s. W. A. T. Team, great. She said, yes. He proposed got down on one knee. What did people behind them waiting in line to get to a doctors appointment or work, how were they feeling . Great blessings on the couple . They were fine. Thats the last thing l. A. Needs, more people stopping traffic. They did one on broadway. Cinderella is on broadway, a couple got up on stage, a man proposed to her Police Officer proposed to his girlfriend up on stage. Why that one doesnt bother me, it doesnt impact other people who are not interested in you getting you know . I do wonder about public proposals. It seems like there are certain things you want to say. People like it on the jumbotron or jay leno. We live in a society that really doesnt nothings sacred anymore. Everybody tells everybody about everything. All the details. Im reading a book right now, im not going to talk about the book. I cant believe one person wrote that about another person in their life. I think, what does that tell you about the person that wrote the book . Everything. Right. You dont know if everything youre reading is true about the person, but you find out everything about the person writing that garbage. By the way, on to a fun note, we have a great show today. We have Liza Minnelli in the house. Yes, we do. We also have the other great stars of cabaret with us after 40 years. And Michael Bolton. He is singing for us. And we have enjoy.

During his fourdecade career, Michael Bolton has won two grammys and sold over 53 million albums and singles. His hit songs, like how am i supposed to live without you, has taken him to number one. Recently, he showed off his comic side on snl invited by Andy Sandberg to write a new hook to a song. Michael is obsessed with one particular movie, and by the way, the video got nearly 99 million hits on youtube. Take a look. He was born, he yearned for adventure oh, captain jack hes a chester of the surf what it did for your career, baby. Michaels out with a new book called the soul of it all my music, my life. Great to see you. Spent a lot of the day reading through this book. So many people assume you had so much success right off the bat. Even though you did get your first recording contract at age 16, tell us about those years you didnt have anything going on. The years you can remember. Enough about hazy up until i had a record deal when i was 16. I signed with epic with cbs records. I thought, wow, i made it. 18 years later, i had my first hit. Long, long run. Whats great about your book, you learn about you, but theres opportunities artists may have taken to trash people in his life. Thats what people do, talk about bad relationship. They want to sell it. You steered clear of that. Why did you decide to write this . Thats part of the theme, the soul of it all, getting the point of everything, the point of your life and different chapters of your life, including some of the hardest moments and times. Understanding the meaning of it, what the depth of it is. That doesnt really work well with trashing and pointing fingers at other people and blaming. Thats just negative energy you dont need. What was the purpose for you, in your private moment when you said im going to write this book, what did you want to accomplish from it . Well, for me, if you know anything about golf okay. Yeah. Okay. You dont want to hook in golf. Dont say hook. You want to hook in music, but not in golf. You do know. I played the front nine. Im now teeing off at the back nine of my career and my life, and this book is my tee shot. Thats great. Theres a lot of things i want to do, films, musicals, more albums. I have another album coming out february 8th. Theres a lot going on, but the story, ive been putting chapters away and putting moments away i think should come up in the book. Then i had a few great people. Fortunately for me ive got a great publisher and great editor, whos here by the way, who believed in my story enough and hearing about what the story was like and how that will resonate with people who have had some rough spots and dont think that its all about the glamour and the glitz. What was your roughest spot, when you talk about one of your lows that you really pulled out of, how would you nut shell that . The single hardest time was sitting at the Kitchen Table with three young daughters and wife and not wanting them to know how broke we were. Keeping it from the kids. Right. And having rent checks bouncing and a really nice guy as a landlord who said, i cant carry you anymore. You have to leave. We didnt have homelessness, the term, we werent using that back then. It was just, the reality of it, was right there. So, thats something you never forget, you never get it out of your system. Speaking of your children, theres one really interesting portion of the book, you were sued for plagiarism. Copyright infringement. I felt your pain, wait a minute, i never heard this song before. We had a tape of us writing it together, and you were still found to be guilty. That goes to the soul of a person, pardon the pun. You stole somebody elses child and called it your own. What happens is your child gets taken from you. Yeah, yeah. I felt for you. That was up there with one of the worst things that could ever happen to anybody. The book is really interesting. Very uplifting, a lot of life lessons. Beautifully written. Even though you dont trash anybody, i think its going to sell a whole lot of books. Hopefully, you wont kick hoda off the New York Times bestsellers. Youre welcome to it. She will make room for you. Plenty of room for us. Of course, there is. Are you going to sing for us a bit . I am. Michael is sticking around for not going to say what youre going to sing . Surprise us. Ill surprise you. Melanie fiona is going to do a duet with me. Going to be great.
