Lets move to to other news at this point. Senator john mccain will be becoming more of a regular visitor to the west wing. Even saying at one point recently that he really trusts president obama. This is a big change in the relationship between these two men. When did it come about and why is it happening . You know, its interesting. The relationship was strained after the election in 2008. There are area where is they can work together. Senator mccain has been an outspoken critic, a vocal critic, of the president on foreign policy. But on some of these other issues in terms of senate rules or immigration, there is room for him to do some business there. I think senator mccain is also at a point in his life and career where hed like to return to some of that maverick status that he had which includes working with the other side in a way thats constructive, and hes done that at different points. Its interesting the juxtaposition, this may be going well, you think about benghazi, and how critical mccain was. I dont see him shrinking away from that but hes found ways to work with the white house. David, well check in later on meet the press.

This week he felt the pain of being hit on his wallet, missing out on a 2 Million Contract bonus. A tough blow that he actually learned about thanks to twitter. Brown read this tweet sunday morning letting him know he lost the sizable chunk of chain for not attending the Offseason Workout program, a demand wrote into his 2009 contract. People want to be making sure players are working out the way theyre supposed to. The only way to do that is to get them in the teams facilities working out with the trainers. Reporter its not clear how the blogger knew about the clause. But by not showing up 2 million of his 2. 92 million salary is gone, about twothirds of his total pay. Nfl players have a short window of time in which they can make most of their money. To lose 2 million over something that was so easily avoided has got to be a tough pill for him to swallow. Reporter after reading whats being called the 2 million tweet, brown fired his agent, saying he should have flagged the costly clause. The agent declined to comment, but brown did saying hes taking care of business. Quote, in my opinion, you have to be let go. We all are held accountable for our actions. This is part of the business; a business where a player finds out about losing 2 million in under 140 characters. While the 2 million loss is a hit for brown, it could be an even bigger loss for his former agent.

Hed seen his dad doing it many times but in early june, he got his first chance, almost immediately, something went wrong. I just heard the lawnmower stop. And i heard him shout out. Reporter the lawnmower hit a 2 1 2inch nail and flung it straight into abes chest. It it felt kind of like dinging, but kind of like a bruised ding nick. I pulled the shirt up and watched him breathe, as the chest expanded, the nail pulled in and looked like it could be deep. Is this what it felt like to be shot. Reporter but abe was lucky. He is head of a trauma unit, he knew not to pull the nail out. He called for his wife. His eyes rolled back and he was having a hard time breathing. The hospital xrays show how grave the condition was. The nail penetrated deep in abes heart. He was rushed to surgery. More good luck, it turns out that the nail was long enough to keep the hole in abes heart plugged. Any shorter, it could have killed him. Roughout the ordeal, abe had one brief moment of doubt. That was for like five seconds. Even like a couple days later he was like dancing in the hall in the hospital. He was trying to do the running man. Reporter seven weeks after surgery, abes just a regular 12yearold, but one with a nasty scar to remind him of his brush with death. And as for the nail put it on my shelf. Well, hes okay.

Those images can be used against them later. A cautionary tale. Lets talk about cool gadgets. I read about this preparing for this interview segment, a way to find where you can find a movie. Or a favorite tv show. Its called yidio. Its an apple app. As you saw, you can also watch it on the web. What this does, lester, it ag gates content through all these Different Network channels.

And then once you open the show, youll be able to find out, do i need to pay for it or can i watch it online somewhere for free. Might be on netflix or apple tv, but tells you where to find that. I love that. Very cool. You also have not just ear phones, but an mp3 player. Sony has a walk man mp3 player. The player and the headphones are all in one device. This is it. Youre not carrying another device. You drag and drop files onto this, connect it to your computer. You put it over your head like so. Wrong side. You put it over your head this way.

Sanchez has racked up nearly 5 million twitter followers in two years meaning theres just something about the useless tidbits that has people intrigued, including all of us. Did you know troy aikman in six years passed for 16,303 yards. You know bees and dogs can smell fear. Reporter if Jerry Mcguire thought that little guy was full of random knowledge, he would have been blown away by chris sanchez. Youre like one of the smartest, random fact guys ive ever oh, stop it. In 2011 chris started uberfacts, a twitter feed filled with useless, yet fascinating facts. Among his followers, kim kardashian, miley cyrus and thousands of others. If the average man never shaved his beard, it would go to up to 30 feet long. Theres something exciting to look at your phone and see a new fact you never knew before. For example, a squirrel finds less than half the nuts it hides. Did you know in japan, you can buy a square watermelon . Because you cant always believe everything on twitter, i did a little investigative reporting with my father. Like is bad driving genetic. They say that driving well, they say bad driving, but driving is inherited. So i in some way would like to think that i got my driving skills from you. You have to exert your authorities on the road. You cant let people just push you around. Dad, i could not agree with you more. Reporter okay. So that probably goes in the fact column or it takes four seconds for silence to become awkward. You know how i love the twitter uberfacts i do to. And . Reporter thats about right. Did you know our 43rd president , george w. Bush was a cheerleader or the bible is the most shoplifted book of all time . The best fact of all, even though ive done this and this and this, the ocean at night, terrifying. Thalassophobia, fear of the motion at night. And thats a fact. I own it. I own thalasso phobia. Terrified. Theres almost a new tweet every hour. Its fascinating. I just started following during your report. Me or uberfacts . Are you on twitter, too . I notice when i wake up in the morning theres a whole slew. He actually created this neat system where its on a feed. Hell plug in 50 a day and every two hours they send it out. One of my favorites was the reason that pirates wear an eye patch was because so one eye is adjusted for below decks and one eye is add dusted for above decks. Blew my mind. I love that. You will tell a friend today. Which will take care of any awkward silence. Oh, my gosh. Did you see what was on dylans computer . What was she looking at . Maps. Weather maps or regular maps . Just the word maps. Anyway, thank you. Thank you. Lessons learned when dad is deployed and family dinners get a makeover. How one familys decision to fill his empty seat at the table ended up changing the community. But first, these messages. For a lot of families, dinnertime is a chance to catch up on the day. What happens when one member cant come to dinner because hes deployed overseas. Instead of dwelling on who they were missing, one navy family decided to fill the seat at the table with a different guest each week. Discovering one pan of lasagna at a time very important life lessons that theyre now sharing with families everywhere. Lord, thank you for watching over this family. Reporter family dinners are about as homespun as it gets. Yet for millions of families, theyve become a rare treat, especially military families like the smileys. Dad dustin is a relun nant in the navy who returned to a yearlong deployment to africa last december to reclaim his seat at the family table, a spot some 250 guests helped to keep warm over the course of that year as part of a project that became known as dinner with the smileys. Im not a super great entertainer. I wondered how we would find 52 guests. Reporter the idea started small, invite someone to share a meal with sarah and her sons to help make them less awkward. Dylan would take them to the seat and say this is my dads chair. Im sitting here at the family asking about the kids day at school, something he wishes he could do and cant. Reporter it was a year full of lessons. Up first, maine senator susan collins, happy to join the smileys after receiving a personal letter from 11yearold ford. Did you meet r2d2 . Nod nod. What was r2d2 like . He was big. Bigger than you thought he would be . This is susan, our guest. Reporter sarah is quick to note the dinners were not about china or fancy food. They were true family meals, complete with wrestling matches, barking dogs and that empty seat. If you havent lived through your dad being on deployment, you probably dont know what its like. What do you think the hardest part is . Knowing hes not there, knowing he cant play catch with you. Knowing when you wake up hes not upstairs, stuff like that. The dinners were a nice way to kind of meet new people as well as kind of forget that hes gone for the meantime. Reporter it didnt take long pour the smileys to inspire other families. Fellow navy wives Theresa Jones and Stacy Morrissey first heard about it on facebook. Sarahs inbox, full of stories ab about the impact of sharing a meal and the comfort it can bring. What was it like for you to watch continuing this new chapter in your familys life happening while you were halfway across the globe . It kind of kept me going. I was very happy to see them dealing with it in a positive way. Reporter while the dinners have stopped for now, the lessons have not. One of the most important goes back to that empty seat. Its not just military family missing someone at the dinner table, theres people all through our community and neighborhoods who eat alone every night. Reporter though for some, thats starting to change, one meal at a time. And sarahs book dinner with the smileys is available now. They were so welcoming. The boys were great. Such a great couple. Really wonderful stories in the book. What a great idea. Great idea. Those kids seemed so grounded, so in touch with whats happening, where there father s why their father is away. It was such a great story. They were great. One thing sarah said, these are really family dinners. I gave people paper towels at napkins. They ate a lot of lasagna because thats one of the things she makes. The boys would be wrestling on the floor, yelling at the kids, the dog is barking. It was really like your place for dinner. This is what we do. Really good story. Well be back in a moment after these messages. What makes . Backflips and cartwheels. Love, warmth. Here, try this.
