4:13 pm
bone. we can't see the wrist. >> do you want to show us? >> this is a model of a right hand and the metacarpal bones are the bones in the hand and that would correlate to that part of the hand and a fracture of an index metacarpal. >> espn reported the second. >> that would be this one here. >> how important is that bone? >> the good news is metacarpal bones heal well. >> what's the best case and worst case scenarios? >> it depends on where the frau is, if it's at the head, the shaft, the base, if it involves the joint, if it requires surgery or just cast treatment. all of those will go into factoring what the recovery will look like.

4:20 pm
house's name john boehner. if you can spell it, you know how i mispronounced it. >> we won't go there again. >> maybe not for 4:00 tv. i was so nervous and consumed with how i was presenting myself and being someone i wasn't, i wasn't showing my authentic self. that day the vice president of the company called me into his office and i sure as heck thought i was going to get fired. instead, he said, do you know why i hired you? well, maybe because i'm cheap? maybe because i'm asian. no, the reason why is because you were so authentic in your interview. i want you to portray that wherever you go. >> it's about finding your authentic self. you write about things that happen behind the scenes. is larry in the book? >> he's mr. page 216. no, you'll have to read the book to find out. >> i do highly recommend it.
4:21 pm
i have not finished reading it yet but i like it a lot. what do you want women and other readers to take away from the book? >> i want them to take away it just takes a few small, minor adjustments. you will be faced with unexpected situations in your day. if you take away a little bit, maybe pause in your reaction and not fire off things like i used to do, you might find some perspective. wednesday, november 6, tickets are selling out quickly. you can find a link come try my really big chicken sandwich combo with two patties for $4.99, or three for $5.99, or four for $6.99. that's an amazing deal, jack! hey, thanks, stanley. ow. ...wait, what's happening?
