good morning. breaking overnight, emergency on board. new information this morning about doomed egyptair flight 804. investigators confirming smoke alarms were going off in the front of the plane before it crashed into the sea. this as we're getting our first look at the debris from the plane. we're live in cairo with the latest in the investigation. the gunman's motive. secret service takes down a man moments after he was spotted with a handgun in plain view as he headed to the white house gates. >> he had a gun out just in plain sight. i mean, it wasn't even hidden. >> this morning, what police are saying about what that man was thinking. major break? police in texas asking for the

driver of this car as they search for the suspect in the murder of a popular fitness instructor. this morning the latest on that investigation, including what authorities are saying now about the victim's family. and the force is with her. >> that's not me making that noise, it's the mask! [ laughter ] >> the woman who posted that video on facebook showing her laughing hilariously, taking the world by storm. nearly 100 million people in less than two days tickled pink by that infectious laughter. if you'd like to own a mask of your own, good luck with that. it's sold out today, saturday, may 21st, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and welcome to "today" on

i'm craig melvin. >> love that. we're all smiling talking about it. >> if you woke up in a bad mood, just watch that video. >> infectious laughter, right? >> we just watched it for the first time about ten minutes ago and we've watched it probably four times since then. >> i think because it's just so genui genuine. she's just purely excited. and refreshing, isn't it? >> we'll have more from her. a nice pick-me-up. paris still reeling from another tragedy. >> we can only imagine. in fact, it is our top story this morning. and really, the breaking news overnight about the investigation into the egyptair crash and what happened in the moments before that plane went down. investigators confirming today smoke alarms were going off before the plane slammed into the mediterranean sea. nbc's chief global correspondent, bill neely, is in cairo this morning with the latest developments. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. french air accident investigators have confirmed there were serious technical

computers. they were failing, smoke the cause. and this morning the first images of the debris from that plane. as the search widens this morning, grim discoveries. egypti egyptians finding body parts and aircraft seats. investigators are sure they're from the missing plane. this is the airbus that spiraled into the sea, but as it did, it sent flight data pointing to serious problems around the cockp cockpit. sensors on a window went off, one apparently opened. then a smoke sensor in the forward lavatory, then smoke in the avionics bay which controls the plane, then another window sensor. then critically, problems with the pilot's controls and computers. terror or an accident? >> we don't know yet exactly what it is, but it's a clear

terribly wrong on flight 804. >> reporter: egyptair say there's nothing to suggest technical problems. >> my first concern is taking care of the passengers. and then we get from our sources the information. we're going to be transparent and we're going to see. >> reporter: u.s. search planes have joined the hunt which now covers an area of 5,000 square miles. in a cairo mosque, the bereaved struggle with their loss. this film director lost four members of his family. one of the french dead, pasquale hess, lost his passport, but it was found on the street and he boarded the plane. a french warship is joining the multinational search to find the plane, its flight recorders, and answers. at the paris airport from where the plane took off, security is even tighter, and everyone who had contact with it on the ground is being questioned. it's 74 minutes there, pps

critical in explaining what caused it to disappear. well, for the families, of course, this is torture. the french foreign minister met more than 50 waiting relatives in paris this morning, and he said they showed intense emotion and huge dignity, and he reassured them that they would be told immediately everything investigators know. but of course, that's the problem, there is so little they don't know at the moment. back to you. >> bill neely, thank you. >> greg feith is a former investigator with the ntsb. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's start with the smoke here. that would, of course, indicate that there was some sort of fire. the question then becomes what caused the fire. are we talking something electrical or are we talking something as simple as a passenger dropping a cigarette in the lavatory, or is this a sign that there may be perhaps something more sinister at work here? >> when you look at the timing of all of the faults that came up, especially with the

smoke, those are in two different places. and when you look at the timing between those faults, it's very quick. so, more than likely, it is an explosive device or some fast-moving or fast-burning fire. electrical fires don't typically burn fast. demand fact, wiring on airplanes is designed to be self-extinguishing. if somebody were to drop a cigarette in a trash can and catch a paper towel or some toilet paper on fire, it, too, doesn't burn fast and it would not set off all those sensors, especially down below the cockpit in the avionics bay. >> greg, how are pilots trained to deal with the fire on board the plane? >> well, when you look at it, if it is just a genuine fire, using your scenario of the lav fire, somebody threw a cigarette in there, both the pilots and the flight attendants are trained to address that fire using fire extinguishers. other types of fires, if it's an electrical-based fire and they can detect maybe what circuit

breakers to relieve the electrical lines of any energized power. but in this particular instance, with all the multiple faults, with the window faults, that is the right-side window sensors were going off, the avionics bay had smoke, there were other faults, especially with the flight control computers, that suggests that something happened more of an explosive nature to take out a number of different systems or affect a number of different systems in a very short period of time. >> greg, we are just getting in -- in fact, just a few moments ago we started getting pictures of the debris, some of the debris that's been retrieved. what are investigators right now trying to glean from that evidence? >> when they look at that evidence, they're going to, of course, be scouring it for any signs of explosive-type material, that is chemical residue, things like that. they're going to be looking for pitting or shrapnel strikes, similar to what we looked for in twa-800, in

aircraft got shot down. there is very definitive evidence of an explosion. you'll look for penetration from inside the aircraft out, since we suspect that if there is an explosive device, it was in the aircraft. so they'll be looking at the physical evidence. and of course, they're going to be looking at all this fault information that came down through the data link or acars. they'll be trying to ferret out that to see if there is any pattern that they can use to determine whether or not this was a rapid just building fire or an explosive-type device. >> nbc news aviation expert greg feith. greg, thanks, as always, sir. >> you're welcome. >> evan kohlmann is an nbc news terrorism analyst and senior partner at flashpoint. evan, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> we're now more than 48 hours after this, and you're quick to point out the fact that usually when a terrorist group takes responsibility, it's 12 to 24 hours after the incident. so what does that tell you? >> well, look, it's not absolute. there have been groups that have claimed acts like t

months later, but not isis. if we're talking about isis in particular, isis tends to claim credit for major international acts of terrorism within about 24 hours. if you look at the russian airliner in sinai, that was ten hours or less than twelve hours. we've heard nothing from isis, nothing about this. and it's not that we haven't heard from them. they've been issuing communique after communique. their actual franchise in egypt has claimed credit for other operations in the last couple of days, but they've said nothing about the egyptair airliner. so, the question is, if they're claiming credit for killing a policeman or blowing up a car, wouldn't it seem that they would want to claim credit for a major international act of terrorism that is garnering tremendous publicity for them? and if they're not, then why? so, if it is isis, there is this hanging question. there really is very little chatter going on right now among jihadists talking about this. there's not a lot of information suggesting that a jihadist group was behind

nobody's claimed credit. >> baffling. >> you know, it's funny, you say that there is no evidence of a technical fault -- that's what the investigators are saying. there's no evidence of terrorism either. and so, that leaves us to wonder what really caused this. >> well, there's so much buzz, and they were just talking about it, about the lack of screening, of catering on these airplanes. we know, as you mentioned, isis claimed responsibility for taking down the russian jet with the soda can bomb. we've seen the photo where they say this is the bomb. is there any way something like that could have happened? >> well, look, it's possible. it's certainly possible. but the question is, how did that soda bomb, or presumed soda bomb, get on this aircraft? in sharm el sheik, where the russian airliner left from in sinai, this airport was notorious for having terrible security. and what isis managed to do was recruit an insider to put that on board the aircraft. the idea that it would be as easy to recruit an insider at charles de gaulle airport in paris, which is heavily secured and where there are many, many international flights that leave every hour is a bit far-fetched.

is it possible? it's possible. it's just the chance is remote. so, they've come to the other idea that if this was terrorism, is it possible that someone snuck this on in another airport that this airplane had traveled to? >> four different airports within 24 hours. >> including tunisia. so once again, the question is, how would someone sneak on board an explosive device on to this aircraft and know instinctively when that explosive device was going to go off and that the aircraft, it was going to be between paris and egypt? it could have driven just as easily between eritrea and egypt. and what is the significance then for isis? how does that prove the isis mission? there were, what, 60 people on board this plane? >> right. >> most of them were egyptian sunni muslims. they weren't french nationals. >> clearly -- >> so, what kind of a target is this for isis or any jihadist group? >> so many more questions than answers this morning. evan kohlmann, thank you so much. >> thank you. this morning the fbi, secret service and d.c. police are all still trying to figure out precisely why a man aac

gun in his hand and refused orders to stop. the secret service gunned him down in front of horrified tourists. the gunman was hospitalized overnight. at last check he was in critical condition. jim miklaszewski has more. >> reporter: the scene at the white house suddenly exploded with shouts of "shots fired!" secret service officers scrambled to their posts. >> just had a shooting. >> reporter: the suspect identified as jesse olivieri of pennsylvania was openly carrying a handgun as he walked directly toward a security outpost at the southeast corner of the white house grounds. >> and so, he had a gun out, just in plain sight. i mean, it wasn't even hidden. >> reporter: taylor kate said it looked as if he was in trance. >> like he had a mission and he was just doing that. >> larry samples says secret service officers repeatedly ordered the man to halt. >> drop your gun. he walked towards the officers. he just kept onome walking

striking the suspect in the chest. he was seriously wounded and rushed to george washington hospital. it's only the latest in a long string of bizarre and potentially deadly assaults on the white house. a pilot killed himself when he flew his small plane into the white house. a gunman sprayed the front of the white house with automatic weapons fire. and most recently, an armed fence-jumper made it all the way into the white house. >> that was jim miklaszewski reporting there. to the race for the white house now. and donald trump picking up a big endorsement on friday from the nra, this as his attacks on hillary clinton show no sign of slowing down. nbc's jacob rascon is outside of trump tower here in new york. jacob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as the polls show the race tightening, both look to define each other as an unacceptable alternative. and this morning they're reaching out to a demographic they both desperately need. >> i justan

everybody. we're going to be working very hard. >> reporter: it's a tough sell for donald trump, promising hispanic voters in a pretaped, ad-libbed video, i'm on your side. >> national hispanic christian, three great words. >> reporter: the mostly republican crowd not impressed. >> you're going to like president trump. [ laughter ] >> let's pray. [ laughter ] >> i've been a person of faith all my life, and -- >> reporter: hillary clinton's pitch more polished and direct. >> you know, we're hearing some divisive and dangerous rhetoric in this election. we have a candidate who wants to tear families apart. >> reporter: the front-runners are at war, trump tweeting about "crooked hillary" at all hours of the day, "zero imagination and less stamina," he says, "dishonest." at the nra convention in kentucky, where trump picked up the gun lobby's endorsement, even t

assault rifle ban, trump saying the stakes have never been higher for gun owners. >> hillary clinton wants to abolish the second amendment. just remember that. we're not talking about change it. she wants to abolish the second amendment. >> reporter: hillary clinton, meanwhile, more direct than ever, tweeting trump is "unqualified to be president." >> thank you all! >> reporter: and don't forget about us, bernie sanders and his supporters say, not ready to back down. his rallies still drawing thousands. the democrats struggling to unite as more republicans fall in line. >> i was a rubio guy, but marco lost, and i will enthusiastically support the republican nominee. >> reporter: and donald trump is off this weekend before heading out west for more rallies and his first major fund-raiser, this as his democratic rivals and their surrogates are busy campaigning in california, new mexico and florida. >> jacob

months after giving testimony in a civil case against her husband, we are getting a first look at what camille cosby had to say about the sexual assault accusations against her husband, bill. as it turns out there was a lot she refused to talk about. nbc's morgan radford is here with more on that. morgan, good morning. >> good morning, guys. it was interesting what she did say, but more importantly, what she didn't say. in fact, while her husband became america's favorite tv dad, camille cosby often shied away from the spotlight. now his wife of more than 50 years and his business manager, camille cosby, has been trust back into the limelight in this civil trial, where seven women claim that her husband not only assaulted them but also called them liars. in a february deposition just unsealed friday, camille cosby refused to answer questions nearly 100 times, citing spousal privilege as prosecutors questioned her about the accusations that her husband sexually assaulted seven women. >> we think she's got important information to provide to us. >> reporter: on whether her husband acted with a lack of integrity, c

answering that." on whether it was deceitful to pay more than $100,000 to a woman who may be the product of an extramarital affair that began in the '70s -- "i do not have an opinion," she said. and finally, an admission. "it was a big deal then, yes." >> if bill cosby has something to hide, we see his wife in these depositions potentially helping him hide it. if people believe bill cosby and his wife, they may interpret her stonewalling as simply her response to what she sees as an unreasonable witch hunt. >> mr. cosby, do you want to say anything? >> reporter: cosby has repeatedly denied all claims of sexual misconduct. >> there's no response. >> reporter: while his wife, often elusive, has stayed in the background. >> at the end of the day, a jury is going to determine who has more credibility. is it the seven women that we represent or is it bill cosby? >> reporter: more than 40 women have identified themselves as victims. just this week, 26-y

chloe goins filed a lawsuit against playboy founder hugh hefner, saying he conspired in cosby's assault of her at his mansion in 2008. unable to be reached for comment, the 90-year-old mogul also gave sealed testimony on wednesday in a suit filed by judy huff, who says cosby forced her to perform a sex act on her at the playboy mansion in 1974, when she was just 15. >> we're having a wonderful time. >> reporter: accusations against a once gregarious husband and now a virtually silent wife. camille cosby has remained publicly committed to her husband's innocence. the comedian has five civil cases still pending, and the only criminal case that was ever brought against him has a preliminary hearing on tuesday in pennsylvania. and cosby is expected to attend, guys. >> morgan radford for us this morning. morgan, thank you. in other headlines this morning, mexico has approved the extradition of drug lord joaquin guzman, better known as el chapo, to the united states. authorities agreed to do it after receiving guarantees he wo n

el chapo's lawyer plans to challenge the extradition. investigators searching for the killer of texas fitness instrektor terri bevers now say her family and friends have been cleared in the case. in the month since her death, police have received more than 1,000 tips but still have no suspect. they do say they are looking for the person who was driving this car spotted near the crime scene earlier that morning. the popular instructor was murdered inside a church as she was about to teach a fitness class. let's bring in dylan dreyer now. how about a check of the weather? >> yes, and rain is on the way, up and down the east coast, eaviest down through delmaarv and into the baltimore area. so the track's going to be a little wet for the preakness later on today, although the heaviest rain will fall this morning. it will still be fairly showery as we go

for three men united by a common purpose, preserving the legacy of america's fighting men and women. tom, you've been writing about world war ii, talking about it for years now. what does this honor mean for you? >> well, what it really means is that i accept it on behalf of the greatest generation. i mean, it really belongs to them as much as it does to me, because it's a tribute to them. and when i wrote the book, it was at a time when no one was paying attention to that generation, in part because they didn't raise their hands and say, look at me, look at me. >> i'll see you on the beach! >> reporter: in "saving private ryan," tom hanks also sought to tell that generation's stories and to bring a sense of humanity to his portrayal of captain john miller. the film is required viewing for french infantry troops to learn what it took to free a continent. >> i came across an anecdote that someone said about their captain. this gentleman had a

wife once, and then he would tear it up in a million pieces and scatter it into the wind. and he asked this captain, well, how could you do that with a letter from your wife? and he says, because it's here and it's here, and that's all that matters. >> reporter: all three men worked tirelessly to bring the world war ii museum to life. >> museums are obviously about remembering history, but also writing history, remembering history in a certain way. how would you think people should remember world war ii? >> the american spirit made a difference. our innovation, our ingenuity, and the fact that we were fighting for our democracy. we want people to remember the strength of america, how america could come together. >> reporter: all three were presented with flags that flew over the american cemetery in normandy, a symbol of the lasting bond between two nations, partners through history facing challenges today. for "today," richard engel, nbc news, paris.

of these skills, you can choose which of the tasks that you want to pick up. maybe the handyman job isn't for you, but the organizational skills are. but for a handyman in new york city, you can make $57 an hour -- >> really? >> you could wait in line for tickets or for the new iphone for $24 an hour. >> that grabbed my attention! if you're willing to wait in line, someone will pay you to wait in line. >> about $24 an hour, on average, in new york city. now, these are negotiable on a platform like this, but supply and demand can dictate the price, too. >> i love that. and before we run out of time, i want to get to instacart. someone asaid you need to order your groceries, but you can work on the other end. >> if you're 18, you can work for instacart. it's basically an online shopping and delivery platform for groceries. >> okay. >> so, if you want to order your groceries online, someone's going to have to shop for them, check you out and also deliver them to you. so, you can do any three of those jobs for instacart. you could do all three of them, get paid possibly more, including tips and bonus. and of course, you need a

the film finds mystique, professor x and their team of x-men taking on apocalypse, their greatest nemesis yet. but the "x-men" aren't the only superheroes team in town. >> no one should have to encounter that kind of evil, except you girls. i think you can handle it. >> reporter: 30 years after the original, the "ghostbusters" are back in the form of an all-female reboot. >> we don't want mass hysteria. >> get out of the city! >> reporter: jason bourne is also suiting up for battle along with d.c. comics supervillains in "the suicide squad." the movie stars margo robby as harley quinn and an almost unrecognizable jared leto as the joker. from bad guys to bad moms, mila kunis, kristen bell and katherine hans bring the laughs as they set themselves up for the ultimate showdown with a seemingly perfect clique of moms. >> are those store-bought doughnut holes? >> um -- >> i'm going to

people who are agreeable. >> oh! it went in! it went in! >> reporter: andy sandberg's making it to the big screen with a history yoerk mocumentar "popstars never stopping." and pixar's "findi ining dory" s nemo and crew on a new adventure, the search for dory's family. >> my mom, my dad! i have a family. >> reporter: so, grab that popcorn, the summer of '16 has something for everyone. >> come on, got something better to do? >> reporter: for "today," joelle garguilo, nbc news, new york. >> we have eric davis with us this morning. he's back. he's fandango's managing editor. i feel like after today's show, i clearly have to sit down and watch some movies. >> this weekend, if folks are heading out, what's a good clique to check out? >> a little something for everybody. "angry birds" for families. people who have played the game. we have "neighbors 2," the rare comedy sequel that's pretty good. my recommendation is "the nice guys" is a fantastic

crowe, ryan gosling. think lethal weaponesque. from the director, shane black. it features ryan gosling sitting on a toilet sequence that will ever exist in cinema history. trust me. >> we should note that "neighbors 2" is from our sister company, nbcuniversal. >> there are so many. let's break it down by category. >> okay. >> what if you just love love? you want a good love story, what would you say? >> "me before you," this is what you need to see. it's based on the popular book about a smalltown woman who falls for the paraplegic man she's taking care of. if you're looking to get your ugly cry on, you don't even bring the tissues, you've got the paper towel roll, this is the movie. for the sappy fan, myself included, highly recommend. you won't go wrong. >> what about the blockbusters everybody will be talking about? >> there's a lot of them. a lot of sequels, a lot based on pre-existing franchises. we have "ninja turtles" war craft, we have "star trek

beyond," jason bourne, suicide squad, there's a lot of them. i'm looking most forward to "x-men: apocalypse" because it's a culmination of the films that began in 2000. so if you're an "x-men" film, you're required by law to see this movie. also "jason bourne" because matt damon is back and it's teasing a chase sequence on the las vegas strip that looks insane. and my most anticipated is "suicide squad," about a bunch of bad guys, starring will smith and jared leto and margo robbie. i've got a little crush on margo. >> just a little? >> just a little one. goodness, there are so many. let's stick to the categories and talk about comedies. >> i feel like this is the summer for the comedy. >> really? >> a lot of contenders. "popstar" starring andy sandberg. this looks great. "central intelligence" with dwayne johnson and kevin hart, it's great for anybody who's reunited with a friend on facebook and then you realize they're a complete lunatic. "ghostbusters" has a great female

femalesensom bale. and "bad moms," that will be the moms night out movie of the summer. >> how about kids? >> we have "alice in wonderland: through the looking glass." "finding dory," it's another slam dunk for pixar. my most anticipated, "the secret life of pets," from "despicable me and "minions" people. it follows the secret life of pets when we leave the house. i am a dog owner, so this speaks to me or howls to me. it looks like a lot of fun. >> we should also note that "the secret life of pets" is from our sister company, universal pictures. >> one more category, documentaries. i have a feeling there is one that will be a talker. >> there is, and it is out now. it's called "wiener," following anthony weiner's failed mayoral campaign. you remember the sexting scandal. this is a fascinating documentary. we've never been this close to a political scandal before. i think it's a tremendous doc. i would be shocked if it's not on the short list for the oscar at the end of the year. >> wow! >> t

we've never seen something like this before, so i highly recommend seeing "wiener" when you can. >> really? oscar-worthy. >> yes. >> how do you have time to see all of these movies? >> i don't know. >> it's amazing! >> i know. >> eric davis, thank you so much. up next, how to make the most out of your memorial day weekend, but first, these messages. ♪ ♪ ♪ it's time to get seriously silly, people. ♪ join red nose day to do some serious good to help fight kids' poverty. ♪ it's simple: just get your red nose, only at walgreens, and get your silly on, seriously. time is running out. get your red nose today at walgreens. goohello new coppertone sport. it's reformulated to feel lighter on your skin, but still protects and stays on strong.

family and friends. we have some great ways for you to enjoy all of the latest tech gear, some quick getaways. but we are going to begin with nbc medical contributor dr. natalie azar. we'll talk about how to protect yourself from the sun and the strong rays. good morning to you. >> good morning, sheinelle. >> i feel like the first question should be about rep reapplying sunscreen. we just don't do it. >> no. it should be reapplied every two hours, no matter the strength. whether it's spf-30 or spf-50, it's every two hours, but also, remember to apply 15 to 20 minutes before you get out in the sun. and a big thing people have to remember, especially with their kids, after swimming or sweating, you have to reapply more frequently than every two hours in that instance. >> really? >> yes. >> more than every two hours? >> if you're sweating or swimming? yep. even if it's water-resistant. you don't want to take a chance. >> it's interesting. we went on vacation last week. i underestimated the amount of options that we have these days. >> yeah. >> sprays, creams. do you have one that you prefer? >> personally, i prefer spray for me and for my kids with a little bit of a

i do prefer it because it's just easier and i can chase them around with it and i feel like i reapply more frequently because it's just easier. but a few issues about the spray are this -- if you're spraying into the wind and you're not rubbing it in, you may not be getting it uniformly. and secondly, there are concerns that the fda is looking into as far as inhalation with children. >> oh. >> i wouldn't want my children applying it yourself. you can spray it into your hand and put it on the child's face yourself. >> there was something that got our attention. the fda found that half of the sunscreens didn't meet their spf claims on the bottle. >> yes, very news-worthy and perfectly timed for our segment and for the summer. consumer reports found that 30% failed to meet what they put on their bottle. basically, they'll claim that they have a certain spf and they found it was much lower, consistent with findings that they had been having for the last number of years. there have been some concerns raised i think that are sort of legitimate

that the consumer reports used, but the statement from the american academy of dermatology is still to use an spf of 30. i will tell you that after reading the article myself, i thought i'm going to err on the side of caution and go with an spf of 50 just in case. you know, that was my interpretation of it thus far. >> and you're the doctor, so we'll take it. dr. azar, thank you for coming in this morning. >> thanks, sheinelle. swim safety is also important this time of year. join dr. azar and the nbc news health team and the cdc on monday at noon for tips on healthy and safe swim season. you can join the conversation using #healthyswimchat. now let's send it over to craig. >> sheinelle, thank you. jason tans is editor at large of "wired" magazine. he's rounded up some of the must-have summer tech gadgets and apps. jason, good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, craig. >> let's start with this. this looks really cool. it's for folks who might be going on a hiking trip, might be going to the beach for the weekend. this helps lighten the load a bit. >> what's better at the end of

>> amen to that. >> but you don't want to bring a six-pack on a hike. it gets warm, it's heavy, it's pretty disgusting at the end of the hike. this is from backcountry beverages. and what they have is a system where with any fresh water source, basically, you add this flavor packet and activator, and you can get carbonated, fresh beer. >> that's cool. >> yeah. so, the syrup is super highly concentrated, like 50% alcohol, but when you but it in the water, it gets down to 5%. shake it up, they've got a porter, a lager, and there's more coming. >> time to get your playlist ready for the backyard barbecue, for another trip to the beach. >> yes. >> any music-sharing apps we should be looking at? >> in fact, yes. let's say you have friends over and you're stressed out about the playlist, right? you don't know which songs to put on. this is a music app called flo. and it allows you to create, basically, everybody links together into one common playlist, and anybody can add songs to that playlist in realtime and you can just

and the other cool thing about it -- >> that's cool. >> it is cool. and the other cool thing is if you have a bluetooth speaker, it can go through one phone, but if not, it will play simultaneously through everybody's phone at the same time. >> and this is something i have. >> oh, you do? >> yeah. when you're firing up the grill late at night. >> yeah, firing up the grill or again, camping or mountain climbing. this is called the snow peak mola head lamp. the problem with head lamps, they're great, but you really crane your neck. if you're looking at a map, you don't normally bend that much. so, this tracks your eye movement and goes down further than your head. so you can tilt the normal amount and the lamp will go down or up as well. that's the snow peak mola headlamp. >> thank you. dylan has great getaways for us. >> that's right. if you want to get out of town next week, you don't have to spend a lot. sarah spagnolo is editor at large for 4square. let's start in lobster country, maine. >> absolutely. kennebunkport, maine, is a great destination, right on the

this is a wonderful hotel. rates are $179 a night. so couldn't be better. we see, according to our tracking data, that they're up 1,000%. perhaps because mosquitos are not such a problem. kennebunkport, maine, a great choice this memorial day. >> and easy to get to, southern maine. >> easy from boston, portland, maine, very easy. >> say you want warmer. the water can be cold in maine. you're heading south. >> san antonio. hard to find waterfront in texas, but san antonio, texas, is awesome for tacos. the hotel contessa is right on the riverwalk, right on the river there. an exciting destination because of the pearl, which is an up-and-coming destination, pedestrian-friendly. also, unesco just anointed the spanish missions there to be a world heritage site, so you can have history, you can have amazing food. the hotel contessa rates $200 a night, availability this coming weekend as well. >> and it's such an area that's growing so much recently. >> so much happening there. >> okay, now on the west coast. >> grab your sunglasses, grab your bathing suit. santa barbara, california, a beautiful destination. the
