Happy new year. The study shows people are worried about unexpected expenses. Number one, what does that mean . What are you talking about that, and what can you do to safeguard against that . Unexpected we say whats your emergency reserve that can be anything from, oh, my gosh, i got an illness. Leaky roof. The washer and dryer just exploded, something bad happened, or a car repair. We notice a lot of parents help their Adult Children with car repairs. So one of the things ive always talked about especially after the Holiday Season in terms of what you should be doing, you should be focused on the big three. Did you incur some Credit Card Debt over the holidays. Number one, lets make a plan to pay that down. Number two, did you andre some money out of your reserve fund. I know you hate me telling you this. Six months should be kept safe. I was going to say how much should you save . Six months. Most people cant do that. We have to strive for something. The other part is once those two things are done, please try to maximize your tax plan contribution. Your 6,000 if youre over the age of 50. 5,500 in your rockth i. R. A. Or i. R. A. What do you think about coming off of stocks . This is a perfect time to say, let me look at what i have. Let me look at whats in my retirement account and should i rebans it. That means if youre the kind of investor who doesnt love risk, maybe you started by saying 50 stocks, 50 bonds. The stocks were so good this year you might have done 70 . Take some of the stocks and move it into the bonds and rebalance those allocations. The other part thats really important. Many people are in these big plans. They get Company Stock as part of their 401 k . Rebalance that as well becau you dont want to take extra risks unnecessarily. And the people that dont have stocks say, look, i overspent this Holiday Season. Getting back on track, you recommend . I think the most important thing is to have an expense tracker. Theres really good ones. Mint. Com, you need a budget. Keep track of how youre spending your money. Go to your annual report. Com once a year check those credit reports, check any errors, and be clear. Guard that identity like its like your body. Like the data breach. You got it. Is there something called you need a budget . You need a budget, ynab. Okay. I like that. You dont need a budget. Jill, thank you so much. All the best to everybody in 2018, everybody. She said, you dont know what i need. Thats true. All right. The nfls regular season wrapped up yesterday evening. Shows no signs of slowing down. He said its due to his unique fitness and diet regime. Its described in his new book. Its published by simon schuster, a division of cbs. In the beginning he gave us annan sight look at his routine and a look at success. I want to keep my muscles strong and active but also pliable. You describe pliability as lengthening and softening of muscles. Yeah. Everybody things they want muscles to be harder. I think thats what weve been educated on. I would argue differently. Ive seen strong physically fit guys that are the definition of health who are injured the most. If i can keep my muscles pliable i can hopefully limit the intensity altogether some of this. Compare that to brady who is just wrapping up his 18th regular season. He credits his longevity to a more holistic approach to fitness. We talk about rehab all the time, right . We get injured and go to relab. You talk about pliability in terms of prehab. Yes. Everyone can do it. My parents, my sisters. I did pliability on my son this morning whose leg was sore. Hes 8 years old. Youre trying to make the case that pliability is a whole different way to look at athleticism. Its a philosophy he invented after meeting his longtime trainer alex guerrero. You describe him as an engineer. Yeah. He started softening all the muscle in my forearm and it took away the tension in the muscle and i was like, god, that makes so much sense. It would increase your strength while limiting the density of the muscle. The dense of the muscle, means the less pliable it is. Most of all of our workouts are resistant bandspaced. His Sports Center doesnt look like an average gym. 90 of the training is done with flexibility bands followed by very specific massage techniques. I would say im faster now and quicker than when i first starred playing football even in high school. Youre fast ore at 40 than you were at 18 . Yeah, i am. All of my friends who are moms are going to be saying to their better now his 40s than when hoe was 18. You want to play football in your mid40s. Yeah. Gisele agrees with that . She would say, ten years ago you told me ten years and now you say another five years. Do you worry about concussions . Im not worried about them. Yeah, im conscious of it, but i also love the sport so much that i want to keep playing and im going to do everything i can to take care of my body in advance of the hits im going to take on sunday. Wow. Thats a word i think, norah, for 2018. Pliability. I know you like him. I like him too. He looks good, feels good too. I need to buy more bands. I have been doing it. It makes a difference. Norah can throw a football. I try. This time of year many people want to escape for others, theres no better time to dive in. Some tourists pay around 20,000 for a trip of the lifetime to antarctica. The money helps subsidize researchers who go on the expedition. Mark phillips joins us. Good morning and happy new year. Happy new year to you. A lot of people go on tour. One big thing has changed, though, this year, the u. S. Pullout of the paris climate agreement. Its made for a new kind of tourism and a new kind of science. Ready for more than your average holiday. Coming to antarctica as a tourist can be a truly shocking experience. Its a trip for the intrepid and not just you can its a full immersion experience in so many ways. The operators dont call these cruises. They call them expeditions, and thats not just a way of adds to the romance of following in the footsteps of the great explorers, of seeing things way off the beaten track. Its because these trips also involve science like the research that eric is doing. This documenting of the everincreasing speed of glacial ice floe probably wouldnt happen if the tourists didnt come. Here you get this hybrid mix where people are paying big bucks to come down as a tourist trip, but that also helps the kind of work that you do. I think, yeah, it is a formula that i would like to see with an administration of Climate Exchange skeptics in washington, the science that gets done on these trips might not otherwise happen. You can clearly see this big trend of increasing temperatures that has been happening. Reporter ken taylor is one of the worlds eminent scientists whose work include the science history, and he said the writing about funding cuts has been o the wall since day 1. Well, weve already gotten indications from our federal funding agencies that we should anticipate budget cuts. It didnt take very long after the election for that word to come down. Reporter even when research is governmentfunded, the money doesnt go far enough. Job durban uses a drone to check on the welfare of antarctic whales in the changing times, but theres no way he and his coresearcher poly fernbeck would be here if they didnt get a ride who see, bringing natural scientists along as part of the appeal to their customers. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Its a wonderful relationship that we have. Reporter a relationship that has to continue if the work is to go on. This is the seventh year in a row weve conducted research on this ship. Weve studied animals that are as old as we do. To understand them takes multiple years. Reporter the tourists are effectively underwrietding the science, part of the substantial ticket prices for adventures like this goes for the cost to cover the work done onboard and not only do the tourists mind, but they think its a good many like laurie fosten came here for more than the thrills. I think its a shame that the skrie science is in the cross hairs of politics. It doesnt take much to understand were having a detrimental effect on the world. Reporter they come here for the experience and leave with even more memories. They leave with knowledge. The scientists on board give the tourists a sense of purpose, and if it werent for the tourists, the scientists wouldnt be here. Its a marriage made in heaven. The tour operators we went with and others say people that bring them come as tourists, but they leave as ambassadors. Norah . Mark, thank you so much. A beautiful study and great reporting. That sounds like a success. Astronaut Peggy Whitson walked space ten times. Ahead in a note to herself she overcame years of rejections before she blasted off into orbit.

All right. This morning in our series note to self, we hear from astronaut Peggy Whitson. She returned after a 288day mission. Whitson has spent more time in space than any other american. While in orbit t 57yearold biochemist started writing a letter to her 9yearold self. She finished her note to self when she was back home in houston at johnsons space center. Dear younger me. Ive learned a few things over me that i would like to share with a younger version of myself. There it is. A u. S. Flag on the surface of the moon. You just watched on tv Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin took the first step on moon. Seeing it with your own eyes made it real and believable and achievable. It made you feel small but filled you with excitement. That moment in time planted a seed of inspiration in you. Now its up to you to nourish that soap and grow it into more than just a dream. Next year your dad will get his private pilots license. You will get your very first ride in an airplane. The exhilarating few of the cornfields from above will inspire you to fly as well. However, it will take several years of raising and selling chickens to earn enough money to take your own flying lessons, but just remember, learning to fly with that chicken money will higher purpose because one day you will become a real space explorer. The year you graduate high school, nasa will select the first female astronauts. You will dream of exploration. Know that what you dream for might seem impossible, but you will be successful as long as you make your life decisions based on your own value system and not others. So ignore the naysayers, ignore the people who say you cant become an astronaut. Instead, use it as motivation. It will be ten years of applying before ever becoming an astronaut. The rejections will be discouraging, but in your typical style, you will just keep trying. All those years of anticipation will be the solid rocket boosters will ignite and you will literally roar into space. Seeing the earth for the first time in orbit, you will be surprised that you never noticed the quality and texture of colors. High above earth, you will remember what your parents taught you growing up on the farm. Problems dont always have elegant or expensive solutions. Dad will teach you that number 2 wire and pliers plus a healthy attitude can fix almost anything. U. S. Astronaut Peggy Whitson returned to earth today. Believe it or not, you will spend more time in space than any other astronaut. And has now spent more than 655 days off the planet, more than any other astronaut. And earn the nickname space ninja. You will grow soybeans in orbit while your father grows soybeans on earth. She now becomes the first twotime female commander of the International Space station. You will walk in space ten times. You will find that living in space can actually become a home in spite of tools floating away. Alien to all you know, you will adapt and you will love it. Know that even though it is incomprehensible to you, you will be a role model. Im still struggling with this one, so you need to step up a bit earlier than i have done. I will tell you to not underestimate your abilities. Challenge yourself. You will learn youre so much more capable than you might have imagined or even dreamed. Sincerely, the older you. I always love the note to self. That was so beautifully done. Not bad for what shes done with the chicken money. I have tears in my eyes. I was going to say, your eyes are glistening. It was terrific. Shes such a hero in her own story. Its the type of thing you want everybody to know, Peggy Whitson. What the has achieshe has ac incredible. Love you, ninja. Ahead, the pie in the skyresearch to make supersonic flights quieter. Were going to fly this airpane right here, f18 hornet, and were going to go supersonic a couple of times.

Engineers are working to bring supersonic travel back to commercial aviation. Just over 70 years after the sound barrier was first broken, space say jagency is pushing nee yours. Jeff glor recently broke the sound barrier to learn more about it. Good morning. Good morning. The only plane that flew faster than sound was the retired concord back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but it was only allowed to do it over the ocean because the loud boom can be damaging. Those speeds and tack travel thats less than half, 07 years after the first sonic boom. In 1947 i heard the sonic boo. We knew right there that he had brought in a new air forcforce, new supersonic air force. Bob cardena. It was the gateway to space. Reporter that momentous event 70 years ago did lead to space travel but not supersonic air travel mostly because of this, the series of loud booms caused what a supersonic plane makes audio shock waves that sounds like bombs, shakes t earth, and can even break windows. So they banned it over land. Reporter hes trying to fix that. He and his team are working to lower the blast force and ka cough news sound of sonic booms. We showed we can reshape the front of the plane to make it quieter on the ground. This is completely redesigning planes. Right. Theyve designed a low boom demonstrator that can be released in four years. The ultimate goal to make supersonic flight a reality to everyone. If it takes five or six hours to get from new york to los angeles, how long . Three to four hours. When its done, it falls to test pilots to create low booms with todays aircraft. To do that he has to go through complicated rolls. Roll inverted, pull down to 50 degrees and start out to 3 1 2 gs. That sounds easy. Its not that hard. Reporter hes on a mission to show us how the lowest sonic can go boom. Youre giving them the normal boom. This is the normal boom that both airplanes out there would produce today. Reporter back down on the ground, herring and his microphones are listening and collecting data. Supersonic. Supersonic. So weve just completed the normal boom. Were about to try the low sonic booms. Low boom maneuver, larson must first climb to 49,000 feet. Roll and three three, two, one, mark. Whoohoo. Thats one. Copy mark. We inverted and went down and came back up . Yep. Thats exactly it. Reporter a few seconds later back on the ground. Got a boom somewhere in the neighborhood of 0. 4. It shows an 85 reduction in the power of the boom. Nice landing. Thanks. Neysa will use their data to design the new planes. But unlike our planes it will not have go inverted and dive down. Thanks to its shape it will fly level and really, really fast. Kudos to jeff glor. I know they say never say never. I heard that on the oprah show years ago. Never say never. I aint never doing that. You say i would love to do tt again. I have done it once before. I went 7 gs. I love it. You have children and a husband. I feel the need for speed as they once said in top gun. Ill be down here cheering you on. Thank you, jeff floor.

And he started in comedy clubs when he was just 14. His career exploded after his show on Comedy Central. He suddenly abandoned his show at the height of his success and people were very confused. But now netflix has released his third comedy special. He often shies away from interviews, but he sat down with us for a rare conversation about his life and career. There was all sorts of speculation, was he crazy . Was he on drugs. When we read your story, it was more about peace of mind than about money. I was talking to a guy. He said comedy is a reconciliation of paradox. When i think that that was the irreconcilable moment for that, that i was in this very successful place, but the emotional content feel anything like what i imagined success should feel like. It just didnt feel right. Are you all ready . Some sketch comedy . Are you all ready to see some sketches . Do you miss the chapelles show . Yeah. You do. Chappelle is like breaking up with a girl. You still like her but in your mind you think, that bitch is crazy, im not going back. I do like to move around when im in thought. Reporter chappelle not only left the show walking away from a 50 million deal, he left the country, going to south africa to escape. Did the fame scare you . Fame. Yeah, but not so much i gave it up to go to africa. Fame is a horrifying concept when its aimed at you. You know, at the end of the day, you dont have that much control. You try to conduct yourself the best you can. I started doing drugs when i was little. Just like you. Reporter for twoea chapelles show. Critically acclaimed and wildly popular. Is anyone up for a game of basketball . You talk about prince. That show is still one of the funniest ones. We tried to get prince. We said, its about you. Prince was like, no. But then he saw the sketch and he loved it. Gay, blouses. The week the sketch came out he got inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. But even when you walked away in 2005 you were still working. Its just we didnt know all we stayed low. I found an altitude i was comfortable with, you know. I found a way to do what i like to do and avoid some of the parts of it that i was uncomfortable with. What were you uncomfortable with . Well, i mean if me physically, you know, now, im like 40 pounds heavier than i was when i did the chapelles show. Welcome, everybody to chappelles show. They were like, how did you gain weight . I have actual relationships with my kids. Ive been all over the country touring all my life, but i never saw anything. Now ive seen everything. I can talk to people. I had time to stop i used to brush past them. Now i stop. They say, you do . It was like the way i engage the world was important. Im starting to think id like my life to mean something. Reporter like when he came to Columbia University in South Carolina to talk to students. Its okay to b can be courageous. The idea is youre scared but you do the right thing anyway. In 2004 i walked away from 50 million and in november i made a deal for 60 million. Welcome back home, man. Thank you very much. Yes, sir, yes, sir.

First laugh i was on stage. I can remember who introduced me, what my introduction was. Let me hear, let he said, folks start somewhere. Hes here for the first time. Who knows.

You go through a million bad nights to get a good one. This was a place with animals lived [ bleep ]. Tonight its flas where human beings will get drunk and throw up. Reporter now his shows inreport part concert, part party all day. Everyone shows up at the same time. We start and finish the night together and its like a very eclectic crowd. What do you want us to feel in there . Like love and camaraderie and kinship, you know. Just a reminder. My town is so small, you throw an event like that in town, its the big dance. That small town is about 20 miles outside of dayton, ohio, far away from the pressure of big city life. Are you ever out here at night walking . Yeah, i walk at night, especially when i get back from the road. Its scary too. Why . You hear scattering. Raccoons. Are you scared of raccoons . Yeah. Its a rational fear i have. If we want to scare you if i see them up close, they freak me out. Theyre a theyve got those hands. The town is progressive and artsy. Hey, man, im sorry to hear about your dad. Good to see you. Reporter a place where hes treated like a neighbor, not a big star. Are you calmer here . Generally speaking, yeah. I have time to think about things and i think for a comedian if you dont have time to think, youre not as effective. It gets a little corporate. Its that corporate feel he left behind when he departed Comedy Central where key peele became the ones to watch. People think you dont like key peele. No. Im a fan of their show. When i did chappelles show, there were certain conventions of the show the network resisted and i fought the network come to fruition. Were looking for clayton bixby. Look no further, fellow, you found him. That black and white sue prechl cyst sketch, its ten minutes long. It should be five minutes long. Why should it be five minutes long. These types of things. So when i watch key and spiel and i see theyre doing the format i created and then at the end it says created by key peele, that hurts my feelings. Ive been gone for a very long time. Surprised. Its me. Reporter the signature piece of its highly anticipated comeback, three multimilliondollar netflix specials.

Although i can see in cent years that seat has been occupied by mexicans and i dare say arabs. And we the black americans would like to thank you both for your sacrifice and your struggles. It moves, it changes, but i think a lot of it has to do with intent. And your intent is to make people laugh, to reconcile paradox and just like openly sometimes openly vent. I think when you get to a certain altitude, theres more scrutiny over the things you say because the platform is so powerful. Norah, hes still hilarious. After i did his interview, i went back and looked at a bunch of Dave Chapelles shows, his comedy still holds up. You look at its hilarious. I like how his comedy is to reconcile paradox.

The popular drink has been around for more than 151 years. The recipe is actually on the companys website, but Michelle Miller has a story you may not have heard. How a man helped make jack daniel a household name. Its important to set the record straight because anyone who accomplished Something Like he did, should be honored. Reporter what neeris green a slave did was teach jack daniel how to make whiskey. It was on the cover New York Times international edition. It was possible he was behind it. Its never been spoken about until now. Reporter for author fawn weaver, finding the proof has become a passion bordering on obsession. Over the past year weavers collected a library of documents, letters, and pictures, hoping to parse the truth from folklore. Finally one of the elders in the community said, you know his name wasnt neeris. His name is nathan and hes from maryland. Reporter after digging for more than 2,500 hours and speaking to relatives, its starting to come together. Jack daniel an orphan started working for a whiskey distiller, dan caul teemed him up with one of his slaves. After slavery he started his own kpaul and the person he went to first was his mentor and he did not see race as barrier. Reporter Mark Mccallum is the president of jack daniels brands. When we know and understand understood the weight of this story, anything we can do to honor the name of nerist, well do. Reporter the company acknowledged him last year. Reporter there was an enormous amount of blowback . Such as . From positive commentary to something very have vitriolic. It was the time we were leading up to the u. S. President ial election. I thought the last thing that america needed at that time was for jack daniel to come out again aftell commentary and raise up this story again. People had been saying this for a very long time, but there was not one shred of proof. And so if you have a story that you know will be controversial because most people dont listen to the whole story. What do they hear . Immediately, jack daniel had slaves. Reporter by all accounts, he did not. It is believed daniel opened his distillery in 1866, a year after the 13th amendment abolished slavery. Today green is mentioned in tours of the distillery. Thats jack daniel himself and this is his crew back in the early 1900s. Reporter theres no known photograph of green. But this is his son george sitting right next to jack daniel at a time black employees were often relegated to the back. Despite the deep racial divides of the American South in the 19th friendship brewed, one at the heart of a quintessential american brand. For me this project ends when i can go anywhere around the world and say nerist green and Everybody Knows who he is. She can say mission accomplished. She shes telling stories nobody knows.
