8:22 am
response time. >> squeeze that hand set when she asks you to. you're doing great. >> reporter: if there's a problem sedasye can shrink the dose. it gives more medicine if asked by a doctor. >> more medicine. >> you no longer have those situations where patients feel like they're inadequately sedated. >> reporter: it administers a powerful drug propofol. before sedasys they did not use anesthesiologists so doctors used other sedatives that wore off slowly leaving patients in a fog. mason found that this method reduced patient recovery time by nearly 20%. still anesthesiaologists don't expect to be replaced by this
8:23 am
any time soon. >> we need to do more studies to determine the safety for other procedures. >> reporter: for gilead a nurse here the machine is with m. she woke up minutes after her procedure and minutes after that she's talking. is this something you think will make things better for people who have these procedures in the future? >> absolutely. i'm ready to talk to the doctor. i'm ready to find out what they found. >> reporter: and ready to remember what she's told. for "today," joe fryer, nbc news, seattle. >> interesting idea. let's get more on this with dr. natalie azar. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i can see why this is appealing particularly when you look at the price differences between having an anesthesiologist in the room and the machine. it's a little unsettling. it's like thinking about a plane being flown without a pilot. >> i know. i think that's the natural reaction. it's the natural reaction i had
8:24 am
as a doctor and patient that i would want the doctor to administer it. but i think it's important for people to remember what this is for. it has a narrow indication. that is for these procedures for a very very select group of patients. again, for the induction and maintenance of the anesthesia. this is not anesthesia for lengthy procedures. and again the patient selection is important. you need to be over the age of 18 relatively healthy as defined by the american of anesthesiology. >> what would happen if you don't have one in there. could they help who are in there? >> no. there has to be a physician-led team. there's always a physician in there doing the procedure but the doctor doing it is not the doctor doing the anesthesia. everybody in the room this is important, has to be trained in terms of the whole process of the anesthesia. making sure there's airway
8:25 am
protection. making sure there's reversal of narcotics. people have to be trained. and there is either an md or nurse on call should there be a complication so they can respond immediately. these are e the safeguards in place. >> you think we might see more of this in the future? >> yes. apparently with even more -- machines that are going to be doing even more than this. more sophisticated than this one. this is a very early step. i think we've seen the response. >> thank you very much. carson over to you. >> thank you, ladies. coming up "entourage" and kevin dillon and jerry ferrara will be here. and our buddy nick needs to talk to you about the importance of gumption. he's getting ready.

8:41 am
much. >> kevin dillon plays johnny drama chase. jerry ferrara plays turtle. a lot of the guys have changed a little bit. they've grown up. kevin i hate to say this drama not so much since we saw him last. >> not so much no. i mean he's got a one track mind. he wants fame. not so much fortune. he really wants fame. he'll do whatever it takes to get it. >> don't give away too much. but drama fans i think will be happy by the end of this. turtle on the other hand wow. he blew up since we saw him last. he's a multimillionaire. >> yes. >> he's doing great. >> yes. he made some money since we left him on the show with mark cuban. and just how much no one really quite knows. there's an ongoing bit throughout the movie asking how much do you make. >> drives drama crazy. >> i've actually tried to find out from the director. like how much did the character make? we don't know. >> i saw the house. he did well. >> yeah. but he looks like he rents the
8:42 am
house and the furniture in it. >> and vinny might be subsidizing a bit. but he also finds love. and i don't think we can call this a date what happens in the mma ring between you and rhonda rousey. but you did what you had to do to get the date. >> it's a cool storyline. he gets caught between duh he want to go after her romantically or businesswise. and his decision is put to the test as you can see. in this clip. and obviously i have a lot of respect for her before i met her. then messing around with her in the octagon, wow. >> and the broken arm was all worth it for love. >> hey, what we do for love. >> the things we do. >> let's talk about how this came together. i think when the show went away on hbo, a lot of people thought there will be more from these guys down the road. did you feel like it was ending in 2011 or did you say maybe there's a movie here? >> after the "sex and the city" movie, i thought we'll for sure end up doing a movie. but a lot of time passed and i
8:43 am
was getting nervous thinking is this going to happen? it was sad. we wondered if we'd ever play the characters again. like are they still alive? what are they doing, you know? or are they gone forever? >> but thank god doug cracked the whip. mark wahlberg cracked the whip on doug. he wrote the script finally and here we are. >> anybody hesitate to come back or was everybody all in? >> i can only speak for me but also kind of for everyone else. we were all in it's just like kevin was saying it happened so fast from that moment on it felt like there was really no break. like we got right back into that. >> kevin, you said something that i thought was interesting about playing this character that you're so associated with. you had a career before and since entourage. when you walk down the street i imagine everybody else drama. you said it was like playing
8:44 am
gilligan probably. good or bad thing? >> that's a bad thing. you don't want to be too typecast as one guy. i do get drama, all that stuff. i did have a big career before. this has taken me to the next level which is nice. but i'll have to fight my way out of it. he'll have to fight his way out of turtle. just the way it is. >> before we let you go you're both ranger fans. elimination game tonight. you told me something fascinating. they watched the movie before the game. >> we screened it before game four and then nash went out and had a ridiculous game and they won 5-1. then kevin went to game five. >> yeah. i'm the kiss of death. i won't go to tonight's game. >> and if they win, don't even watch game seven. >> it's the drama curse. i think the only answer is we've got to watch "entourage" again tonight before the game. >> that might be it.
8:45 am
>> congrats. the movie is great. >> thank you. >> and jerry by the way will be back in our next hour. entourage opens next wednesday, that's june 3rd. up next what nick offerman wants you to learn from america's gutsiest troublemaker. and whether or not he will bring back the stache. let's hope so. but first this is "today" on nbc. ♪ ♪ ♪

8:48 am
will we see it again? >> some day. i mean, i'm a character actor. so that was something i used for my character whose name was ron swanson. but that job is over. so that tool is hung up in the tool box for awhile. >> but you call yourself a mustache icon. do you feel like that's you know losing the mustache as subtracted from being a mushtache icon? >> i would never call myself any kind of icon unless it was an icon of belching. >> really? >> i'm very bold at gas. >> say more about that. >> sure. i'll run you through the menu. >> let's talk about the book. one of my favorite words in the english language. you profile 21 people ranging from george washington to conan o'brien. what do they have in common? >> well, those two are tall. they're american who is have inspired me with the way they've lived their lives or things
8:49 am
they've created in their careers with a sense of humor. but they all sort of show me the way they can live in which i can be more decent to my fellow men and women. and it seemed like a good hearted thing to pass along. >> you actually did the research right? >> i did. the difference between my first book and this one is this one required homework. >> why would you do something like that? >> it was -- it did not occur to me when i thought of the book that i would have to do a ton of homework. but it was enjoyable. you tell a great story about teddy roosevelt that displays gumption. >> it's true. there's so many great stories about number 26 but he was campaigning in milwaukee and he was getting ready to speak and someone tried to assassinate him and they shot him. and the bullet passed through a glasses case and a folded up
8:50 am
speech and entered his chest. and he stopped and said he checked out and determined it hadn't entered the lung. and then he said i don't know if you are away but i've just been shot. it takes more than that to kill a bull moose. and then he spoke for 90 minutes while his shirt is soaked with blood. and they later determined it was safer to leave the bullet in him than to pull it out. so he bore that slug the rest of his life. >> that's a man. >> can you imagine someone on the campaign trail just getting a splinter they'ded have to go to the hospital for a week. >> and end the campaign. last time we had you on you mentioned the previous book there were canoes involved. you were seated in one. al roker and i in the other. we were trying to fit in one together. and al so enjoyed the experience that he volunteered to bring in his canoe from home. how does it feel? >> i don't think i volunteered. >> you did, actually.
8:51 am
>> yes, i did. >> you've never left that canoe. that's how much the segment meant to him. >> you can really feel at home in a canoe. he looks right at home. >> still making your own canoes by the way? >> not as frequently as i was. i'm too busy reading books about benjamin franklin. >> the book is smart, funny. the man is nick offerman. thanks for being here. we'll be back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.

9:01 am
unbelievable. they have for the first time in houston a flash flood emergency. they have never issued one. >> what does that mean? >> flash flood emergency means life threatening conditions exist at that moment. and -- >> you see the pictures, you understand why. these are drivers who i guess in the flash flooding they can get through the water. >> the mantra is turn around, don't drown. at least eight people have died. there are 12 people missing. about 209 fans were stranded at the toyota center that had gone to see the rockets take on the golden state warriors. you can see the jumbotron telling people stay in place. some of those folks are just getting out now. but it is really frightening what's going on there. some areas picking up 10 inches of rain in several hours. and there's some heart breaking stories out of this.
9:02 am
julie shields was on the phone with her sister laura and she knew something was wrong. and just listen to this. it's heart breaking. >> we are in a house that is now floating down the river. call mom and dad. i love you and pray. she is with her babies and she will be with her babies always in heaven. >> they haven't found them. her husband jonathan managed to escape. he has broken bones and a collapsed lung but laura and her two children 4 and 6 are still unaccounted for. another heart breaking story, alyssa ramirez was on her way home from prom she was homecoming queen. flood waters swept the car off the road on sunday near san antonio. she didn't survive. and there's more coming. we'll detail that coming up in weather, but the atmosphere is set up they're going to get a bit of a break after tomorrow. then the atmosphere will reload thursday and friday and bring
9:03 am
more heavy rain. >> the swath of the state that's affected by this. my family's there. you sent me that note sunday morning saying how is everything there and my mother is in burlington. her back yard is flooded. but it's just this huge mass of texas being impacted by this. and arkansas and oklahoma as well. it's bad. >> if there's any silver lining it's the drought has been eliminated. but just now it's feast or famine. >> we'll stay on top of this story. another one we wanted to tell you about we've seen this several times in recent years. and it happened again in ft. lauderdale, florida. a water spout lifted a bounce house more than 50 feet in the air with three kids inside. as you can see right here. a water spout when it touches on land -- >> becomes a tornado. it was an ef-0. but still enough to do that kind of damage. >> my gosh. here's what the ft. lauderdale
9:04 am
police department said about the incident. >> that bounce house was occupied by three small juveniles. the juveniles fell out of the bounce house onto the sand. the bounce house continued to travel across the parking lot, through the median and onto the southbound lanes of a-1-a. >> it's amazing these kids survived. three of them in there. two of the kids already released from the hospital. one held overnight just for observation but they say that child will be okay. you know, we saw this a couple years ago. two kids were hurt in colorado last year. in 2011 13 people were hurt in long island. jeff rossen did a report in the last hour and talked about needing to get those stakes deeper in. >> can you nail it to sand? >> if you have deep enough spikes. but they have to be way down in there. >> you can barely get an umbrella to stay steady. >> we had one of those bounce houses years ago and you see
9:05 am
right on the -- it says death may occur. i mean, when you see that you're kind of like do we really want to blow this up? i'm not so sure. and another safety tip, if you see trees blowing which indicates winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour, probably best to take it down. macy's thanksgiving day parade, winds over 22 miles per hour, they take the balloons down. it's not worth the risk. >> amazing to see the force of mother nature. that gust of wind, how it lifts that -- it's like a kite. pretty unbelievable. >> but the kids survived and they're going to be okay. thank goodness for that. >> something else that caught our attention this morning, we love sharing anything that will make you smile. and this one's out of tuscaloosa -- i can say that all day. tuscaloosa, alabama. what? oh, that was a joke. i didn't see that coming.
9:06 am
>> what happens after they get loose? >> the tuscaloosa. >> your tusks get loose. >> like loose teeth. >> yes. >> willie you keep thinking about it. >> i'll just say roll tide. that's all i've got. >> so back to tuscaloosa. receiving his high school diploma, a boy got a big surprise that goes in an amazing direction. take a look. what you hear are screams because there is his mom petty officer second glass dara turner surprising her boy on his graduation day. they've not seen each other in nine months. she was deployed to guantanamo bay. he even got a scholarship, by the way, to alabama a & m in the fall. >> there are hugs and then there
9:07 am
are hugs like that. >> beautiful moment. >> you could watch that all day. all right, well is the lion the king of the jungle for real? >> yes. >> is he? not if he's being chased up a tree by a herd of angry buffalo. take a look at this lion scampering. >> is that simba? mufasa. >> that was the mean one, right? >> no. that was scar. mufasa climbs up the tree to escape the wildebeest stampede. >> they don't look that interested. they look like they're just walking by. >> the lion is like i'm not taking any chances. >> you need to see the video prior to and probably -- he was probably trying to attack a baby and then they all gather. well, there's a viral video if you go on youtube these wildebeests all come to the
9:08 am
rescue of a baby wildebeest. it's been viewed millions of times. but i'm sure -- because i'm a naturologist? >> naturologist? >> i made it up. you made a story about tuscaloosa and simba. i'm a naturologist. >> because the tusks get loose. that's what happens. >> naturologist would know that. >> willie required more. >> i needed a long explanation. i'm still working through it. again roll tide. >> we'll explain in commercial break. >> this is incredible video burning up the web. >> we have verified this? >> yes. marco wilson making a ridiculous -- you have to watch this again and again. one handed odell beckham style. wilson already has 11 scholarship offers to play in college. he's only a junior. you can see why right there. his older brother quincy plays at the university of florida. so that level of talent runs in the blood. unbelievable. >> 11 scholarship offers and
9:09 am
he's a junior. >> that's an athlete right there. >> he can write himself a ticket to wherever he wants. >> looks like it. al, how about a look at the weather. >> i think i will. well, we are talking about all this wet weather that just will not stop for our friends in texas. harris county. almost 11 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. generally houston gets about 5.4 inches for the month. they've more than doubled it. wettest mays for fort smith, oklahoma city, wichita falls. and down i magnitude. corpus christi seeing their wettest months. and we push this system forward and to the east. you'll see heavier thunderstorms come through. again, another round of showers and thunderstorms dallas and houston again on wednesday. and pushes to the east eventually. so far today we do have the risk
9:10 am
of damaging winds and the possibility of tornadoes. tomorrow much of the same area will see that same possibility of isolated tornadoes. rainfall amounts anywhere from 2 to 3 inches through the southeast. little bit less for the next 48 hours from oklahoma city to dallas. but we see that firing up thursday on into right now lots of clouds and a little bit of drizzle and light rain. you have been seeing that around san francisco for you this morning. you see the drops on the lens there. our microclimate data network over the san francisco area shows you about .004 inch in portola. cool temperatures through the day. 70 in san jose. for the north bay highs near 70. >> and that's your latest weather. up next, a new season of
