Mysterious suspect. Video emerges showing a man allegedly carrying tom bradys stolen jersey. That jersey, along with one that brady wore at another super bowl, now in the hands of the fbi. Where is that suspect today . And today exclusive. Members of the famed wallenda family speaking out together about the highwire accident that left several of them injured. We questioned, was it our fault . Will they return to the wire . Nik is here live with a big announcement today, tuesday, march 21st, 2017. From nbc news, this is today, with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a tuesday morning. This is an extraordinary to say no Electronic Devices, besides phones coming into the u. S. Thats our top story. The new intelligence threat on the type of electronics that passengers can carry on flights bound for the u. S. Two reports this morning. Lets start with miguel almag r almaguer. Hes at Los Angeles International airport this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter this ban will affect about 50 flyings arriving into the u. S. Each day. Many airlines are warning their passengers of the changes. But they have until friday to fully implement them. The new temporary restrictions banning most electronics, come after elevated intelligence, indicating terror groups continue to target aviation, including, quote, smuggling explosive devices in consumer items. The ban will not affect some flights coming into the u. S. From overseas. The ten impacted airp are now on notice. Nine overseas airlines with flights directly into the u. S. , given four days to implement the new rules. Passengers on those flights will no longer be allowed to carry on Electronic Devices larger than a smartphone. Tablets, laptops and similar sized electronics will need to be checked. If fact theyre limiting this ban to a electronic device, means they must have very detailed, very pristine intelligence about what the threat is. Reporter citing efforts to hide explosives in shoes, underwear and printers, u. S. Officials decline to be more specific about their intelligence or how recently it was obtained. Theres no change for Domestic Airlines or security at home. And theres no timetable for how long the ban, affecting 50 flights a day, will last. People will get used the fact that you cannot bring a laptop or an ipad on to a flight. Reporter the push to keep the u. S. Safe, impacting how some travel into it. No u. S. Airlines are affected because no u. S. Carriers operate flights from the affected airports into the u. S. Most International Travelers wont notice any change. Back to you guys. Miguel almaguer, thank you. Pete williams is taking a closer look at whats behind the restrictions. Most of us have gone to an airport and asked to turn on our laptop to check it. What do we know about whats behind this new threat . Well, the officials were talking to arent disclosing much about that other than saying its based on an asse assessment of intelligence. This is apparently based on a combination of terrorists, refining plans to hide explosives in electronics. And assessment of security at specific airports. Thats what produced a detailed outcome at the ten airports in the middle east and africa. Its not an urgent threat. These restrictions have beenties cussed since at least last week. And the airlines have four days to put them into effect. Compare that to the governments action when a liquid bomb plot was discovered. The ban on liquid was imposed instantly, overnight. And its worth repeating that this applies only to flights to the u. S. From those airports and not to any of the thousands of flights a day inside the u. S. , matt. Pete williams in washington. Pete, thank you. Now, to the fallout of the fbi directors dramatic capitol hill testimony. Talking about President Trump and refuting his climaims of beg wipp and confirmed that there is an investigation of possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia. The president not making mention of either of those things at his political rally in kentucky. Lets start with Peter Alexander at the white house for us. Reporter good morning. Make no mistake. This was a monumental day. This morning what President Trump dismissed 24 hours ago as, quote, fake news, we know is very real. With some of the countrys top Security Officials confirming the fbi is investigating whether Campaign Associates of the sitting president of the United States colluded with russia during last years election. This place is packed. Reporter President Trump rallying red state kentucky. Louisville. Reporter but avoiding the elephant in the room, the rebuke by james comey before a congressional committee, before mr. Trumps wiretapping claims. I have in we have looked carefully inside the fbi. Reporter the president standing his ground that president obama ordered surveillance of trump tower. President obama could not unilaterally order a wiretap of anyone . No president could. Reporter and comey acknowledging that the fbi is investigating possible ties between Trump Associates and russian operatives. All of it after hacking of Top Democrats emails during last years campaign. Putin hated secretary clinton so much that the flipside of that coin was, he had the clear preference for the person who was running against the person he hated so much. Reporter his warning, it could happen again. They will be back. Could be back in 2020, 2018. Theres a gray cloud you put over of people that have important work to lead this country. Reporter with republicans zeroing on iegal will that hurt or help . Hurt. Reporter this tweet from the president s official account, leading to a factcheck from the fb director. Russia did not influence the electoral process. Is that accurate . Weve offered no opinion, have no view, have no information on potential impact because its never something we looked at. Reporter backing up his boss, the president s spokesman, insisting the Russian Investigation is much ado about nothing. Theres a point you continue to search for something that everyone who has been briefed hasnt seen or found. Reporter trying to distance the president from key campaign advisers, who democrats accuse to having ties to russia. General flynn was a volunteer of the campaign. Paul manafort who played a limited role for a limited amount of time. Reporter flynn served as National Security as visor. And manafort chaired mr. Trumps Campaign Last suggested that British Intelligence might have helped president obama spy on trump tower, an allegation the grish government with rejects. And the head of the National Security agency publicly warned that spreading false claims like that risks damaging the u. S. Relationship with one of our closest allies. Lets bring in ari melbourne and nicolle wallace. Lots to unpack. Lets look at the extraordinary revelation that yes, in fact, the Trump Campaign is being investigated by the fbi for alleged ties to russia. Put it in perspective. This is not something you hear every day. This is the first time the fbi has confirmed it. Probably why they had to confirm it was President Trumps repeated statements, some were shot down. This is significant. It does not mean theres a fire of collusion between russia and the Trump Campaign. But theres enough smoke to have a federal inquiry. Its huge. There were a lot of headlines. Savannah and i were talking before the show. There were two that stood out. In the middle of the day, the potus twitter account, the white house sends out a tweet mischaracterizing something that comey said during the morning session, that director comey said in the afternoon. They knew the eyes and the ears of the world and the media were on that session and they tried it anyway. I was on the phone. We covered the hearings on our sister network. You were covering them over here. We were on the phone with the white house in realtime. And in realtime, they were denying what was coming out of their own officials mouths. This digging in on the wire trapping was described by two confidants as delusion. Defined. He was sticking by his guns. It was described as incapable of admitting when hes wrong. He puts the rest of his cabinet in a precarious position. Secretaries of defense have meetings with other countries. And now, secretary mattis is going to have to stand shouldertoshoulder with another defense secretary. And im certain he will be asked if he believes the fbi director of the United States or rather delusional president of the United States of america. Well, the other idea that came out that caught our attention was what we just saw in peters piece. Sean spicer the White House Press secretary is now saying, general flynn, he was just a volunteer in the campaign, like he was putting up yard signs. He became National Security adviser. And you have the talk of paul manafort, who spicer says plays a limiting role. He was the campaign chairman. We knowhe facts. He was booked on the show. We had him on the cleveland. Heres the strategy. Their strategy is to cleave off anybody that was not a paid staffer. This is a distinction in their minds to separate out people that may be part of this investigation into russia and trump camp ties. Ari, lets talk one of the things that the republicans spent time talking about was leaks. And the damage that can be caused by leaks of classified information. They have a real point on that. What can the fbi do to plug the leaks . They can investigate that. It was two hoearings. Democrats asking about russia, and republicans asked about leaks. You dont know where they will land. And honest and faithful people in the mill tear and intelligence services, do talk to the press on and off the record. We looked up the top ten folks on the campaign. In the general election. Seven of them were unpaid, kushner and steve bannon. You dont have to be a trumpologist to know, that volunteer does not cut ice, not legally, not financially. If you are the biggest trump fan in the world, you know the difference between true and false. So, why what is the strategy there . They are betting that their folks are so committed to trumps early success, they will pin all of this on the media and on, perhaps now, the fbi director, although thats hard to imagine, considering the arc of his campaign experience. But what i saw when i was talking to trump voters, they love this controversial agenda. They are behind him 100 in policy efforts and shaking up washington. They are not comfortable when he strays so far into the wilderness and so far away from establishment Government Agencies like the fbi. Youre saying dont expect an apology from the white house on any of this thank you very much. It is another busy day on capitol hill. Trump taking his health care pitch to republicans. And his Supreme Court nominee, neil gorsuch, is expected to face tough questions at his confirmation hearing. Kristen welker is on the hill for us this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter it is a highstakes day here on capitol hill. President trump will meet with house republicans, aiming to ramp up support for the Health Care Bill. Overnight, gop leaders offered amendments to the bill to win over holdouts. Among the changes, calling to repeal for obamacareera fixes. But with the clock ticking, its not clear they have enough votes. This is our longawaited chance to finally get rid of obamacare. Reporter a latenight sales pitc press ahead of a crucial vote thursday. Mr. Trump digging into obamacare again. Its been one broken promise after another. Reporter and again. Obamacare has been a complete and total catastrophe and is getting worse and worse by the day. Reporter this is the first highstakes legislative test of the young trump administration. And of the Unlikely Alliance of mr. Trump and House Speaker paul ryan. Im impressed with the president himself, rolling up his sleeves, getting involved. Listening to members brokering compromises, getting us on the same page. Reporter President Trump saying obamacare is failing in kentucky. But the rate of uninsured dropped by 20 present only points. For kentucky residents, its more complicated. Whats your key priority for a new Health Care Bill . Deductibles. I want them more affordable. Reporter youre not sure all and replaced . Reporte exactly. Reporter changes have been made to win over skeptical conservatives and libertarians. And neil gorsuch is back in the hot seat. During his opening statement, judge gorsuch trying to paint himself as above the political fray. These days we hear judges described as politicians in robes. Seeking to enforce their own politics rather than striving to impart the law impartially. If i thought that were true, i would hang up the robe. Reporter look for Democratic Senators to weigh in as they grill him about the attacks on the judiciary. His disparaging comments about the judiciary have shaken the foundations of respect for rulings. Reporter while republicans will try to highlight his conservative record. No one could have chosen better than neil gorsuch to respect conservatism Supreme Court. Reporter one gop official tells me House Speaker paul ryan expects the president to show he not only supports the Health Care Bill but he will be willing to fight for it. That allimportant vote on thursday, falls on the seventh anniversary of when president obama signed his Signature Health care plan into law. Matt . Savannah . Kristen welker on capitol hill. Thanks.

The girls are waiting their fate in the gymnasium. Then, the boys create the skits who ask the girls, who are bound by tradition to accept. The prom draw at the school goes back 90 degr 0 years when it wa into place. It was put in place to ensure that everybody would have a date. I love that. Sean says, i like the idea.

You may remember last month, several members of the wallenda family were injured when they fell off a highwire during a practice session. This morning, theyre offering insight into that incident. And nik wallenda is here with news to share. Kerry sanders is at Lincoln Center at new york city. Hi, kerry. Good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. Im here at Lincoln Center because this location will play a significant role in Nik Wallendas future. He is the seventh generation daredevil highwire walker, who as we recently saw, is always just one step away from disaster. This was in practice. An eightperson pyramid, as high as 47 feet. And his fellow performers last balance and came crashing down. Everybody fought to the bitter end. Every person fought until the last second, until they couldnt hold on anymore. Reporter among the injured, niks sister. My mouth is wired shut. I broke every bone in my face. They had to put it all back together. I have three plates and 72 screws in my face. Reporter nik and two others held on to the wire as they felt. Tom blakewell snagged reitta wallenda, nicks aunt, breaking her fourstory fall. You saved my life. We reference blake as an angel around here anyways. Blake, love you. Reporter because you were at the very top, because youre soon to be a grandmother, will you ever get back up on that wire again . Of course i will. Reporter her memory a reallife repeat of the movie, the great wallendas. For kathy rigby in the recreation of the 1962 tragic sevenperson pyramid collapse that left two wallendas dead, another paralyzed. That was running through my mind from the time we started to go down until i hit the floor. Reporter because you dont know who was at fault, does each of you wonder, was it me . You know, accidents happen. So, yeah. I think weve all questioned that. Was it our fault . What could we have done different . Those sort of things. Reporter alone, nik wallenda has walked the grand canyon, Niagara Falls, but the most dangerous stunt, that eightperson pyramid. I know its a true miracle were all alive and were going to pufully recover from this. Im overwhelmingly thankful for that. Reporter an amazing story of surviv survival. Were a highwire here at Lincoln Center, other than soontobe grandmother, rietta, who said she would get up there. Would the others get up on a highwire here if there was no net below . Good question, kerry. That leads us to nik wallenda. Good to see you. Before we answer that question, you said that piece was shot a couple of days ago. Theres been improvement, physical improvement in your family members since then. Actually, my aunts foot cast has come off. My sisters jaw is no longer wired shut. The doctors are blown away at strong the performers are. Its a miracle. We had a performer fall 35 feet from that wire. He landed on the ground on his feet and called his mom. Its a miracle. Its a miracle. We heard from grandma and from you, youll get back on that wire. And you have some specific news about when and how youll do that. Thats right. Extremely exciting. We heard a lot of lately with ringlingling closing. Big apple is back. Were going to start in new york city, in the fashion theyve done for 40 years. An i, along with my family, will be headlining on that show. Youre going to be a regular member of the big apple circus for a long period of time . Thats correct. 40 weeks, starting in october. Well open in Lincoln Center, beginning of january. Its exciting for me because ive had fans that have seen me over Niagara Falls and the grand canyon saying when are you coming to our hometown. Thats what about to happen. This is not your grandfathers circus. Youre updating what is done. Thats what its about. Bringing it to a new generation. Theres been a challenge that we faced and partially because the media has painted the circus as a negative connotation. Circus is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. Its not by impressing them but inspir new big apple circus. Sfwh when you move here, you know you cannot just string a wire between skyscrapers in new york. Well see if they get them to agree to something. Will you do the eightperson pyramid again . Absolutely. Ive lived by three words. Never give up, for generations. We will. We will continue to do what we do. Its our passion. Hard for people to understand. But this is in my blood. Be careful. Good to have you here, lets go over it dylan. Thanks matt.

Possible record highs again down across parts of the Southern Plains and into the southwest. Youll notice a cooldown across parts of the midwest and Northern Plains. Theres the weather across the country. Good morning, everybody. Were looking for a nice day today. Current temperatures are mostly in the 40s. But well get sunshine back later on this afternoon and that will allow temperatures yes 60s. Partly to mostly Sunny Afternoon is on the way.

It could damage the Cherry Blossoms even further. And thats your latest forecast. Guys . Dylan, thank you so much. Time for whats trending today. You like small talk . Yep. Nope. I like chatting people. Getting to know people. Im not a big fan. Rather have a conversation. Im just awkward. I dont like it at all. I dont know why. Im not good at it. Apparently, though, there is new research to support why you should try to incorporate a little small talk into your life on a daily basis. A psychologist at cambridge, makes it right. Thats real. Conducted a study to see what impact a little a person. She suggested talking to your coffee shop barista or making small talk over art at a museum. Those who engaged in small talk, even when they dreaded the task, reported they felt happier at the end of the exercise. Humans are naturally social creatures. And connecting with others, mentally physically. You hold your nose and make pleasant conversation. Ill do it in a coffee shop, in a taxi. Im not good at it at a party. Youve made a career of witty banter here on the today show. Youre good at this. No, im not. Youre good at it. I like to talk to people. You can chitchat with anybody. Im the person on the plane, can we move the seat from this one . Anyway, were all married here. One thing that is the key to a happy long lasting marriage, what would you guess . Laughter. Laughter is the correct answer. Communication, also good. But according to dating guru, the one sign whether you and your partner are meant to be, do you have a sense of humor . When you share the sense of rumor, you see the funny side. Youre more relaxed. And you can diffuse any argument easily and quickly. I think thats true. I can see that. Yeah. Mine was more shes laughing at me. Im trying to make the distinction there. I think annette makes me laugh more than anyone ive ever met. She has a very wicked sense of humor. When someone makes you laugh, thats very romantic. You like that person so much. Things get heavy in marriage. They talk serious stuff. And it helps to work through that by having levity. We can laugh about it. Heres a great example. Championship round of the world baseball classic h angeles. Last night, netherlands taking on puerto rico, facing off in the first sellmifinal. One of the players on the dutch team got ahead of himself. He singles to right field. Takes time to rally his teammates, as he makes his way back to the bag. Molina tags him out at first. A little lollygag there. The dutchman is in disbelief. Puerto rico wins the game, advancing to the title game. They will play the winner of tonights game between the u. S. And japan. Who celebrates a single . Well, guess he was trying to say, lets rally here, guys. You do that when youre standing on first base. Wow. Carson, pop start . Pop start in my blood, ladies and gentlemen.

The New York Times says grandparents represent a bigger chunk of the population than ever. And with People Living longer, it means taking care of our aging parents. According center, 15 of americans with a parent, age 65 or older, say their parent needs help. But when you take that parent and move that parent to 75 years or old. The number jumps to 33 . Over the next three days, we will tackle issues faced by children of aging parents, like where your parents should live. How do get them help if you need it, and how to pay for their care. Jean chatzky is todays financial editor. If you have issues, talk to your parents. Parents are mixed. They love the fact youre concerned. But they resent it when you tackle their independence. Lets talk about housing, where your parents should live. You have three options. And the first one is, stay where they are. 83 of seniors want to stay home. But you may need to add additionaddition al care to that parents get older. And the home may need modifications. Lets talk about the modifications. Some simple and others not so simple. Were talking about an entry, where you can live on a single floor. Doorways that are 36 inches or more. Hallways that are 42 inches or more. And switches and handles that you can grip. We go back to this one. The extra wide doorways and hollowho hallways. If a parent ends up in a wheelchair, they are accessible. How expensive are the modifications . Do you do that in ned advance . You want to do these things overtime. Were talk about 100 to faucets to six figures to add a master bedroom. You want to think about downsizing or moving where these things are possible with less money. All option when it comes to housing. This is moving your parents into a continuing care community. Tell me about that. Right. These have become popular in recent years. Theyre stepdown communities to care. You move in when youre healthy. You have an apartment with a house or kitchen. As you need more care, you move into assisted living, where you take your meals in the dining room. As you need more care, you may step into the nursing facilities at the same place. Be careful. These things are popping up. But they can be very expensive. And theyre not highly regulated in a lot of states. You need a good recommendation. You want a lawyer to read your contract. The third option is to have your aging parents move in with you. Or you have move in with them. This gets touchy for a lot of families. It is. My mother has told me this is her plan and its good to know. You have to make sure you have space for this to happen. That if you need renovations, theyre the same things that we were talking about only 1 of the homes in the country are equipped that way right now. And the cost of this daytoday care can get expensive. Were talking 22,000 a year. If you need to bring in a home health aid, which is why so many people decide to offer care themselves. And that cuts into wages and retirement. Lets go to the top. We started by saying you have to have is frank conversations with your parents. If theyre not at the stage of life with they think they need to consider this, how do you broach the subject . I would like to broach it on a birthday. Broach it because im thinking about these things in my own life. Broach it because you have a friend going through a similar scenario. Theyre not one and done conversations. They get easier the more you talk about them. Jean, good information. Thank you, as always. Were going to put all of this information on today. Com.

Within an hour, it will be dry. And within 24 hours, it will be cured. I trust you on that. This is a cool table. Work table. Big, sturdy work table. This one is 99. But it comes with a couple onboard clamps. We put them in here, so you can show how you clamp it in. You can put two of them together and get a big work area. I learn things with you. I have probably five hammers at home. My gosh. You have a newfangled hammer. Whats different about this . When you vibration. This has put a shock absorber in the middle of the handle right here. Thats going to lessen the violation, to keep your shoulder all set. Now, you have six hammers. 45 bucks, different sizes. Have them for framing, as well. Everybody needs a nice drill. 20 volts, lithiumion. But whats cool about this, is if you take the battery off, you have got a usb plug to charge up your phone. If you lose the battery or the drill, you have the ability with an app, to press the button and locate the battery. Its going to start beeping and blinking, so you cant say to your wife, i dont know where the drill is, i cant get work done. Thats a problem. You want to be able to say that. We give her the app. She can find the battery and the drill. Drills and hammers and screwdrivers are like that other sack in the done. Always learn something with kevin oconnor. Great to have you here. Happy spring. Another rousing edition of dining with the dalys. Youre going to love what they have on todays menu. First this, is today on nbc. Were back. 8 47. Another installment of our favorite segment, dining with the dalys. Carson and siri are talking perfect pairings, just like them. Their favorite bites and the beverages that tastes great with them. We have mysterious science theater eating and watching and drinking. This the a good example of what it would be like to dine with the dalys for sure. Were excited about todays meal. Im going to make an appetizer. But fillet on toast. Its we have a baguette. Eightounce fillets. Sugar and horse radish. Im going to show you how to pickle red onions. You want to cut the onion and leave the root intact. Im going to slice it thinly. Dont spend the whole segment pickling onions. In this jar, we have onions and were going to add sugar and salt and white wine vinegar and let that marinade. Thats it . Its so good for sandwiches, salads. We have our baguette. I like to slice it diagonally. Were going to toast this for about ten minutes. I burn bread. Thats really good. Carson is fillet. Did you season it, darling . Its television. Salt and pepper, put it in a cast iron pan for four minutes. Flip it. And put it in the oven, six minutes for mediumrare. Carson will show you how we cut it. Thin as possible. We like to pair this with a layer cake cabernet. Talk to me. Lets layer it is pup we have the horse radish, which you can buy in the market. And the pickled onions. This is great if you want steak at dinner but you dont want to commit to a full entree. You get this little toast. I like to do arugula with that. Thats what the arugula is for. And the pickled onions. Its so pretty. You can use roast beef. They have it at a restaurant. Its a delicious appetiter. Everybody loves it. Talk to me about the cheese. This is inspired by a place in santa monica. They would invite people to come for a Grilled Cheese ale pairing. Weve done some pairings since then. This is a belgian ale, a triple. Hearty, strong alcohol content. This is being paired with a sour dough, and a muenster cheese. Those pairings with the ale, work out pretty nice. Matt is mixing up his pairings. Matt has a porter in his hand. That goes with the pumper nickel bread. And thats an extra sharp cheddar. Bite first. And then, all kind of wash it back with the beer. The third one is a hef wisen with a multigrain. And thats a pepper jack cheese. This is fun to have people over and do tastings and cut the version ever. It really is so good. I think you should try this other one. Rye and what . Pumper nickel and extra sharp cheddar with the porter. Do i keep the sandwich in my mouth when you drink . Whose idea was the potato chips . That was for you. I like to put potato chips in my sandwich. Is that a chocolatey beer. If youre trying to come up with a pairing, how do you figure that out . Its what seems to make sense. The extra sharp cheese, the darker beer. A lot of research. A lot of research. Try it out. Its a spicy pepper jack cheese. Thats the third sandwich . Im going slow. You can do any pairing. Who is going to eat that steak you cut . You want you can make the kids regular Grilled Cheese sandwiches. This is like a pepper jack cheese. Very nice. Spicy. Just take that. Thank you, sir.

As you hear dylan humming, shut up and dance with me by walk the moon. Dylan isback. Al is off. Alexander. Thank you. Cant get rid of me. The applause never gets old, though . I show up. Come on. Take your kid to work day. Fine. Have you met . We did in the hallway. And im sorry. But you just had a baby but wear . Like, how does that . I noticed because i have the baby, i dont have time to eat. I grab a cookie and i dont eat for six hours. Is it like breastfeeding, doesnt that help . You burn like 500 calories a day by sitting there. Thats been fantastic. Can you use someone elses baby . I need to burn some calories. Thats like hand that rocks the cradle creepy. How was your first day back . When im at work, you notice that when youre back at work, youre so busy, its not that youre not thinking of him. But your so things. I was expecting him to be like mommy. Who is feeding me right now . I dont care. If he was like, i missed you, you would be on ellen. Its harder for me. He is always sticking his tongue out. Thats so sweet. As long as that stops by age 16, hell be fine. No more pictures. This is making it harder. Im fine if i dont see pictures. I need to detach. Thats got to be tough. I dont get emotional often. I will say this. Dylan is like, youre like my tough friend. I feel like im a wimpy person. Okay. Its fine. I forgot youre jumping out of helicopters. Before i met this strong woman, shes the tough one. Yeah. Im not an emotional person. Moms are tougher than what i do. Ive seen it. Stand by. Were going to talk about your day. She can lift cars. I have lifted cars, yes. I im more of a softy. I was at a wedding for great friends of ours. Im sorry im probably not going to xri at the wedding, just being honest. I was a mess, walking down the aisle. Tears rolling down my face. It was i dont know whats happening. The good thing is, the shows over, you can do your thing and go home. Yesterday, i flew to atlanta after the show. You said that. It was really cool. I was on the set, of strianger things 2. It was amazing. If you havent seen this show. Its on netflix. I bingewatched eight episodes. You have cute kids. This young boy vanishes. Theyre in a small town. In the small town, they uncover the mystery. A building that you never know whats going on inside. And theres underworlds and monsters and aliens. And its so creepily awesome. Yeah. Its so incredible. I think all the kids its superno, s supernostalgic. And they cant recreate an era like that. This show has done it. These kids were born in 2004, 2003. I know. One of the main characters, 11, there was a record player. When i started a show, i didnt know what this was. Oh, you mean on the show. No. In real life. Just in general. They have Little Things that you dont notice. Like a trapper keeper on the table. You saw all this . I wanted to show you pictures. We have to be careful. In the background, if theres something that may give away. During thor 2 i took a selfie. And there was a pooart of the s in the background. Im trying to say hi, im in london. They were cool about it. I almost gave away a massive, massive secret. People are into that these days. If theres something in the background. Last time you were here, we talked about the fact she got in a fight with ronda rousey on tv. She was the nicest person. She was in pain from pretend fighting. I cant imagine having to fight her for real. I would crawl in the fetal position. Im sorry. It was fun. What about yesterday . Did you work yesterday . I did. I was just you guys know on my show. Just shoot multiple people all the time. But one of them fell from the ceiling. That was cool. For a stunt. I cant follow this story. I jump from a ceiling and shot him. Casual. We have a clip. You do. Not of that. But whats going to air tomorrow night. Yes. This lead we had on shepherd so far, what if we lose it . Confidential informing. Then, we send him in. Not before. Are you that intense in real life . It depends if i want to scare somebody. I have a baby picture my mom gave me. I had that from the beginning. The death stair in the headlights thing. Slightly cross eyed. Our clips are small. Everything from tomorrows episode on is like a massive spoiler. Were gearing up for our finale. Its intense. They cant possibly be showing anything because its like every little scene gives away a bunch of stuff. Blindspot here on nbc. Are you ride people . Do you like Amusement Park rides . Any safe thrill. I could do that all day. Really . Im terrified. Thats right. We talked about that. Its scary. It makes sense. Youre up high and around. And the dropping in any stomach. Really . I used to run around. And the lines are ridiculous. Back in the day, you would be wrapped around. That two minutes of thrill was worth getting back in the line. Now, the lines are going to almost be a thing of the past. Thats the hardest part when youre waiting to get on the ride. Jimmy fallon is work ing to sole this problem. When his new ride opens at universal orlando, hes going to replace the line with couches, Live Entertainment by a barbershop quartet at volcano bay. Visitors will be given wrist bands that will alert them when its their turn to get on the wide. Universal is our sister company. Theyre coming up with this idea. Would you rather have intenter n entertainment on a ride . I have the Attention Span of a flea. Anything in a can distract he is a thats genius. Thats the point of the parks to be overly stimulated. That will go superwell. Thats fun. I wont go on the rides. You can watch the Live Entertainment. Yes. Ill just be in line. Did you see online. Thats an east coast thing, isnt it . Is it in line . On long island or in long island. Ive been trying to figure this out. On long island. But i say online. Im waiting online. Youre on a computer . You say in line . Yes. What did you say before online became a thing . Before i started saying online. Its a east coast thing. Im trying to fit in. Is it on, in, around. Speaking of fitting in, prom is a point of tension for some. If you dont have a date or whatever. Everybody is talking this morning about this school in freeport, illinois. Here, that school, youre assigned your prom date through a random lottery. That would have been beneficial for prom because he wanted to even out the number in the limo so we could pay our share. That makes sense. Do you have a picture . Ill bet my mom does. Do we have a picture . Dont judge me. You were gorgeous. Are you kidding me . My mom excluded my date in those pictures. Where did you grow up . I grew up in grapevine, texas. I went to prom half an hour. And i got out of there with my buddy matt. We went to play xbox. Did you stay in your dress . No. That went byebye real quick. I was in sweats. What about me . Where did you were in prom in jersey . Yes. I was very tan. I dont know why i dressed like i was going to a wedding. I guess i was excited. I love that. I was in wichita, kansas. Senior year. My dress was conservative. I feel like is that you . I look like a different person. It doesnt look like you. Hes married with three kids. Hi, david. Thats me. It doesnt look anything like you . You dont think so. Can we zoom into her face . All right. You are like a fine wine. I had it pulled back with ri ringlets on the side. I was trying to do something fancy. Same smile. I had my diamond necklace. My mom made me get fake nails.

Temperatures will be cooling off in areas like st. Louis, even though itll be in the 60s today, thats above average, yesterday was about 86 degrees. So youll notice a difference today for sure. And we could see some severe storms across the Tennessee River valley, especially later on this evening. Thats a look at the weather, now heres out your woin de.

Today, all about travel. Heather poole, a professional Flight Attendant and amichael. Michael is going to give us insider secrets to get better first, lets talk about flights. Good morning to you. Give us three things we can do if we Want Better Airline Service . Take an early flight. Youre going to be least affected by mechanical problems and delays. So got to wake up early. And for the love of god, book yourself more than an hour between your flights, in case you have a problem. That seems to happen to everybody. You did it to yourself. Shortly. Im surprised they let you do that. Im terrified of flying. Sitting in this chair i cant feel my legs. And youre in the middle row, too. The aisle, i can handle. Thank you. Moving on. I have a question im supposed to read. What do you do about people who are serious germaphobes . The three germiest things are the tray table, pillows, blankets. I thought they washed those . If theres safe. But the pillows just sit on the chairs. I used one yesterday. Okay. This is how you build your immunity. You build your immunity. Tray tables. I see moms change diapers on tray tables. I see babies eat off of the table. Ive seen feet on tray tables. Use your sandwich wrapper as a buffer. Thats common sense. What about advice for families . I have three little ones. Traveling with a party of five for us. I hate to say this. But this is the truth. When a mother comes on with children, people shake their heads. They pray they dont have to sit next to her. When a dad comes on with kids, hes superdad. And everybody ogles him and does anything to help. Thats true. If you were traveling as a family and you dont have seats together, let dad handle that switch. People will jump up and do it. Its crazy. It was great flying with you today. Good husband. Theyre not mine. How are you . Were going to talk about hotel stays. How fancy is this . We have the bell. Hamilton tickets here. The key to a good stay. It starts with timing. You want to avoid the crazy busy. You dont want to arrive on a friday or a sunday. Why . The staff is really harried and stressed and theres very low invenn tetory inventory. Your chances of getting an early checkin or a bump up to the next room level is at its slimmest. Everybody wants to know, rates. We want the know how we can get the cheapest room. I hear you. Heres a trade secret. Its based on occupancy. Most hotels operate at 80 or bless. What i say you do is call the hotel and call them directly. Not the 800number. Get on the ground level. Do they have things at the others dont . You g youre going to get the real information. And you want to know, on the day you arrive, whats the occupa y occupancy. Unsold rooms are 20 , will probably the ocean fronts, the suites. The more expensive, the slower they are to sell. Also, i say to book directly. Hotels love when you book directly. I didnt know that. You would be surprised. A lot of times, you can get a better rate going directly to the hotel. What about what jamie was asking about the germs in hotels. Hot topic. The finest hotels are going to be the cleancleanest. But in the hotel industry, cleanliness, like changing the bedding, is not mandated by law. They have to provide clean sheets. Does this mean between guests . You ask the manager what theyre standard is. If you think theyre dirty, you have to watch them change your sheets. Just ask. Its fine. You can drink some bourbon. Heathe so much. Good advice. Up next, mentalist oz pearlman is back to blow your mind. Thats after your local news. Happiness is powerful flea and tick protection from nexgard.

Its the pronouncing of it. The founder of social skills. Good morning. Nice to have you here. Theres some people here that cant live without the digital assistants. You say, you should be able to caution. I this nk its time to take step back. We will think this is so primitive. Now, i think is the opportunity to say, our screens are already a conversation killer. I think these, they can dumb down our conversation. Important to take stock. I will tell you, faye. We have an alexa. Everybody seemed to talk about it. We took it out of the living room because the kids were yelling at it and fussing at it. I thought it was fun because they were giving it commands. But after a while, they are fussing at alexa. You say theres a way to incorporate kindness. You can incorporate it by role modeling.

We can use for the basic questions that mom or dad dont have an answer for. By the same token, if we go to the assistant for everything, we are destroying the conversation im sure people agree with you. I like it for the mundane tasks. By the time i found my phone in the house, got to the right app, i got four Text Messages oh and a news alert went off and im back on my phone for five minutes. Do you have a line, when you can or cannot ask it something . Or times when were powering it down . Is that something important to talk about . Family dinner time, power it down. If youre barking commands, youre ruining dinner. And anytime you have guests over. As the noise level goes up. And the devices cant sophisticated any way. Go and indido it. I agree entirely. Particularly when people are over. You should try four 6yearolds. Alexa, play this, play that. Alexa is saying, will you sit down. Start telling it that. Go ahead.
