another woman on board told me the turbulence hit while the fasten seat belt sign was off and that she was flung into the aisle. the pilot deemed it okay to keep flying and the plane did land safely three hours later in hong kong where paramedics were waiting. imagine that, three more hours in the air with oxygen masks hanging down and a hole in the overhead compartment and two people seriously injured on board. natalie. >> my goodness that is crazy. at least ten people were killed when a powerful typhoon hit the philippines. typhoon rammasun caused widespread power outages. the eye of the storm passed south of manila today. more than 370,000 people were evacuated from their homes. hundreds of people took shelter inside town hall. there are new questions this morning on how much general motors actually knew about their defective ignition switches linked to at least 13 deaths. according to a report in "the new york times," gm told federal

it a clunker or solid car? turns out teens killed in car crashes are more likely to be driving smaller older vehicles that don't provide the best protection in crashes. it's a rite of passage for millions of teenagers every year. first the permit, the license, then the new wheels. but research suggests that teenagers are far too often driving cars that simply aren't safe enough. in a new report, the insurance institute for highway safety warns parents they could be sacrificing safety for affordability. 28% buy small cars that don't offer good crash protection. more than half the vehicles for teens were 2006 or older lacking the latest safety technology. and even more, 2/3 of family hand me downs were 2006 or older. what should parents of teen drivers be looking for? bigger and heavier is safer. stay away from high horsepower engines and electronic stability control is critical.

>> it's compared to seatbelts in terms of the reduction and risk. teens should not be driving a vehicle without electronic stability control. it's a must. >> reporter: because teens are already at risk, the insurance institute says it's worth paying a little more. it recommends two tiers of affordable vehicles. first those under $20,000. large cars like a buick regal 2011 or later. a mid-size could include the honda accord and sedan. the small suv like the tucson. the toyota sienna. among those under $10,000, the large cars like the acura rl. small suvs like the ford escape. and minivans including the kia sedona. another big challenge, making sure the car you're buying for your teen has not been involved in a major safety recall. amber rose was the first death associated with the chevy cobalt and the ignition switch recall. her air bags failed to deploy. >> i miss her very much. there's nothing i wouldn't give

to have her back. even for a day. >> reporter: the advice? check carfax and the federal registry to make sure any used car you're buying has not been involved in an accident or a recall or crash. >> we urge parents to think about the high death of teen drivers and try to spend a little more. >> reporter: meanwhile, adding a teen to a married couple's insurance means insurance goes up by 79%. teenage boys are more expensive than girls. the premium increase are for 16-year-olds up 96% for 16-year-olds. >> thank you very much. >> i can't believe i'm three years away from this. it's scary. it is. major league baseball held its annual all-star game last night. of course gives fans a chance to honor all of baseball's all stars. but last night especially derek jeter who's playing in his final season. he did not disappoint. nbc's joe fryer is at target field in minneapolis. joe, good morning to you.

>> reporter: good morning, matt. here at an american league ballpark, most people were happy to see the a.l. beat the n.l., 5-3, but really with derek jeter in the headlines, the game went far beyond the score. >> from the new york yankees, the shortstop number 2, derek jeter. number 2. >> reporter: the line that separates american league and national league seemed to vanish when derek jeter took the plate. even the opposing pitcher applauded. seconds before the legendary shortstop ripped a double to right field in his 14th and final all-star game. >> you play this game, you try to have respect for the game. you have respect for your players. both your teammates and your opponents. >> reporter: respect for 40-year-old jeter was the theme of the night. >> you don't know how many of these you're going to get an opportunity to play in. more importantly remember every time before you put your uniform on, because trust me, it goes quickly.

>> reporter: from his pregame speech to the ad showing many tipping their caps to him. when he left in the fourth, number 2, was number one. >> he's such a class act and great ambassador for baseball. such a great guy. >> reporter: this all-star week also honored the late glen burke who left baseball in 1980 then came out of the closet. >> we want the people who make a living in our game to be who they wish to be. >> reporter: in a league with no actively open gay players, billy beane still regrets walking away from the game he loves before coming out in 1999. >> for the past 15 years of my life, i have been dedicated to try to maksure no young athlete has made that same mistake. >> reporter: back on the field, jeter played a key role in helping the a.l. secure home field advantage in this year's world series. he went 2 for 2 and scored the

game's first run. he is now officially the oldest player to ever have a multi-hit game in the mid-summer classic. back to you guys in new york. >> thanks very much. not to get too far in the weeds, but he's got a lifetime all star batting average of .481. >> and most of the greats don't do well in their final all-star appearance. mike mikey mantle and babe ruth. so all the talk about the captain last night doing so well. but do you know what was trending worldwide last night? michael jeter. that's right. michael jeter. cbs news tweeted this out. michael jeter takes bow at final all-star game. this can happen. there's kids over here, these kids over here who have access to the nbc news feed. it can happen. we're all guilty of it. whoops. meant to say derek jeter. but it's the internet, patrick got ahold of it. anthony writes in michael jeter

>> reporter: were you able to speak with your husband? she is living every parent's nightmare, her attorney said. the first public comment since she stared in court, watching her husband face murder and child cruelty charges in the death of their 22-month-old son cooper. investigators are looking into what role, if any, she may have played in cooper's death. she has not been named a suspect and is not charged with any crime. but approximate police testimony raised questions about her initial reactions when she was told cooper had never been dropped off at day care the day she died in in font of several witnesses she states, ross must have left him in the car. >> her attorney is firing back blaming the media that have fostered a poisonous atmosphere in which leann a's every ward, action and emotion or failure is scrutinized. in much the same way, the press unjustly harassed and hounded

olympic bombing hero richard jewel when some didn't behave the way they thought he should. >> it's trying to shift the focus from those back to her grief. >>reporter: prosecutors say her husband ross left the chide to die on purpose because he wanted a child-free life. he researched animals dying in hot cars on the internet and was sexting women while i say son was in the sweltering car. his attorneys said it was a tragic accident that his client forgot to drop the child off at day care. he says he has a hard time believing the accusations against his friend. >> it does raise doubts. i'm not going to lie and say it doesn't. it's tough to see this ross and the ross i knew as the same person. >> leana's harris doesn't mention her husband. f . they ask that she be able to

car, is some hidden media. has there been some unfair speculation here. >> there has been some of that. the real focus has been her comment to her husband at the police station just after her son's death. did you say too much? her telling the police that she did a search for how long a child can be left in a hot car. and her strange statements at the day care center went to pick up her little boy they weren't there and she said, well, he must have been left in the car. >> it was clear the mom was not in the car at the time the son died. are police working with her or around her to tighten the case against husband. >> that's standard operating procedure. go to someone with a lesser role, try to get information on someone with a greater role. that would be ross harris. i'm sure they're leaning on her. she has an attorney. that's the appropriate thing to do when you're the judge of

custody. >> having covered sandra bullock for a number of years, i know she is very well protected and always with security. and i know that her home is also very well fortified. and so he had to go to great measures to get in there. >> reporter: as the suspect was being arrested, he began screaming sandy, i'm sorry, please don't press charges. the investigation report also says that at the time of the break-in, corbett had a notebook with photographs and handwritten letters to bullock that read in part, i will forever be thinking of you and louis my son as you are my wife by law, the law of god and you belong to me and me to you. bullock's son was not at home at the time of the incident. >> clearly a very deranged man. this was before anyone knew anything about the weapon. >> reporter: corbett was unarmed when he was arrested at the mansion. authorities later found a cash of illegal weapons at his home.

the 39-year-old is currently out on bail and due back in court next month. >> wow. >> can't believe he's out on bail. >> i know. but this is obviously the decision of the judge. got to play it out in court. but her son wasn't there. that was one of the first questions many people had. and how sandra bullock had the ability to find that fight or flight. where she ran and locked that door. i would have frozen in place. heart goes out to her. >> tamron, thank you very much. coming up on "trending," is she running or not? so the creative way that jon stewart tried to pry an answer out of hillary clinton. and next, carson's in the orange room to sell you a car? we'll explain right after this. >> it's a good one. how much whiter can your smile be? introducing new colgate® optic white® whiten & protect toothpaste. this shell is made of calcium that can absorb stains like teeth. brush one side with a regular whitening toothpaste

the big one over here ten feet long, are not aggressive. so even though they're not aggressive, i've got a safety diver here with a pole to keep them back and i'm going to keep my fingers in just so they don't mistake my fingers for a squid. as we know, there are all types of sharks in the ocean. some like these which they say are not aggressive, but there are those that do go out and sometimes they will attack. it may be the scariest word in the english language. >> shark! >> reporter: while the movie "jaws" is a big reason for that, in real life sharks cause panic. >> get out of the water! >> reporter: steve robles survived an attack a week ago. >> i started trying to pull it off of me. >> reporter: on tuesday he and other residents demanded a ban on anglers at the manhattan beach pier. it's believed lures bring them

maybe. because it didn't -- just kind of bit and let go when i hit it. didn't shake or anything or come back. >> reporter: which is lucky for c.j.'s friend connor who jumped right into the rescue. do you think twice about getting in the water these days? >> no, i mean, we still go out and spear all the time. >> reporter: that may be the biggest surprise. c.j. and his friends say they respect sharks, but they're not afraid. so you have a shark attack you on the worst day of your life, and now years later you don't even have residual effects? >> no. just the scar. >> reporter: and a hell of a story. >> yep. >> reporter: the experts say what you should do is to avoid that shark activity is not get in the water at early dawn or at dusk. to try to avoid expressive splashes. because as you're splashes around, a shark nearby may think that's a fish in distress. and that to a shark means food.

and if you wear shiny jewelry, that shiny jewelry to a shark may look like the scales on a fish. again, food. guys, just one thing. you guys thought working with the sharks in new york was tough. this is working with the sharks. >> there's one right behind you. >> excuse me, i'm going live, shark. >> could you say, luke, i am your father. >> well played, mr. sanders. well played. thank you very much. let's check in with carson. >> it's funny. my little ear piece barely works but we can talk to kerry in the ocean. we've been keeping tabs of these tagged sharks on the free app. these are some of the pings that came up. there's one shark in particular whose activity caught our eye. that's lydia. lydia is a grown female. look at the amount, 25,000 miles. essentially lydia has swam

around the earth. tons of activity going on there. a lot of fun to track. we invite you to do that. shark pictures coming in. carrie sent this one of her daughter catching one on the beach. keep them coming. back to you. >> thank you very much. well, we'll take a turn now to possible downsides to the fitness tracking devices a lot of us wear. today's jenna wolfe who happens to be a certified personal trainer has the story on it. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. people love their fitbits, the athletic bracelets. for millions they are a great tool to help get in shape. in one year alone the percentage of people wearing them has doubled. but some claim it's backfiring saying instead of taking off the pounds, they're actually packing them on. cory considers herself a health fanat fanatic. she lost 40 pounds but her weight loss plateaued. >> so i decided to get a fitbit.

>> reporter: and soon she was hooked. >> i might have been a bit of an addict. i used it a lot. >> reporter: and she's not alone. fitness tracking devices count everything from steps, exercise, and calories. even how much sleep you get. >> kind of took over my life a little bit. >> reporter: some days cory said it showed she walked almost 35,000 steps. that's more than 15 miles. burning nearly 3500 calories. with all that exercise, fitbit calculated she could consume 2900 calories a day. double the recommended amount for someone cory's size. she says she started gaining weight. >> i exercised all day so i could eat as much as i wanted. and it didn't work. >> not all calories are created equal. >> reporter: a nutritionist said fitness trackers don't account the quality of calories, even stress. >> we want it to be simple. as long as we hit the calorie goal to lose weight. but unfortunately it's more

complex. >> reporter: and no fitness gadget can account for the differences in body types. >> two women who are the same height and weight may have drastically different calorie requirements if one is a bodybuilder whereas if the other recently gave birth. >> reporter: fitbit told nbc news it lets people customize their calorie burn goal nutrition to providing an automated one. this is for people who hit plateaus or who have slower metabolisms than we might estimate. other variables to consider, make sure you're logging food properly, wear them consistently, have a food plan, and weigh yourself on a consistent basis. as for cory, she said she quit using her fitbit eight months ago. she is eating healthy and is losing weight again. look, let's break this down. for most people these bracelets are fantastic. they are wonderful tools to help you stay in shape and lose weight. and if you have one and haven't found success with it yet, it

doesn't mean throw it away. you just might have to make some adjustments. the bracelets should never replace common sense. they are not calibrated to your exact metabolism or body type. if you think you're consuming too many calories, just adjust. you know what it's for. don't rely on them as your entire source of weight loss. i always say to people this is a guide, not a guru. the technology is still improving. we have a ways to go. >> during that tape, our conversation that was going on here, rather strong feelings. >> you can't have all the yogurt just because it's fat free. >> you can't? >> nine months in, you can have a lot. use common sense. >> you want to find more about this story, go to today.com. coming up, baby bumps unmasked. we will show you the hottest new fashions with models. and we've got maria menounos

>> i think she should do it. >> knowing andy the way we do, that will happen at some point. it started as a web show. if you look at the numbers now, he is competing and often beating many of the better known late night tv shows out there. it's about as much fun you can have on tv. >> agreed. >> it's tight. and publicists love it. >> and the audience is drunk. >> that always helps. >> you can catch "watch what happens live" sundays through thursdays on bravo. coming up, fashion forward maternity clothing. and maria menounos on her new project. >> what was that? new project. >> what was that? no rush, andy.

maria menounos. she's beginning a new chapter in her career on a new show with the e! network and this one's called "untold with maria menounos." it aims to take a closer look at pop culture. on tomorrow's premiere, she gets an inside look at the "sharknado" frenzy. >> it was spreading like wildfire. and it became this cool kid. >> people were trying to get ahold of anybody associated with "sharknado." and i called my boss, and i was like, my phone's blowing up. he was like we know. >> i couldn't end up on cnbc and other outlets talking about "sharknado" in my t-shirt and jeans. so i rush over to saks, buy myself a much too expensive suit. i now call it my sharknado suit. >> good to see you this morning. did you get the answer as to what is behind this craze? why are people behind "sharknado"? >> i think people in general are crazy about sharks. 39 years ago, "jaws" scared us

to pieces. now people are obsessed with it. it's a social media phenomenon. >> have you seen "sharknado 2" in its entirety? >> no. it's coming out july 30th, i believe. >> you haven't seen previews? >> no. >> there's some stellar performances in that, from what i understand. tell me about the new show. the way i view it, we have a friend bryant gumbel. he does real sports. he takes a look at sports but he take ace deeper look, that people aren't covering. is that what you're going to do? >> we're going to delve in deeper. we will go into three different stories each show. that are dominating water cooler talk in the world. so whether it's the transgender movement, the rise of heroin in hollywood, i'll really be able to get in a little deeper. we're talking to experts and celebrities themselves. find out a little bit more. >> under normal circumstances when you're doing the red carpet and things like that, everybody's got something to sell. so all of the celebrities want to talk to you.

when you start to tackle subjects like these, do you think you're going to find a lot of people saying talk to the hand? >> we haven't so far. i think that, you know, our goal is to really give people the right story. and sometimes the real story isn't out there. so i think this gives them a chance to kind of set the record straight if that's the case. but -- >> i've always found celebrities want to talk about what they want to talk about. when you want to talk about what you want to talk about, they're not so willing. >> that's true. but they have real big passions and real concerns as well. whether it's jennifer garner and halle berry talking about protecting their kids from the pap r p pap rotcy, there are going to be topics that they are going to want to come in and talk about. >> i think most people realize by now you are multi-faceted. you write, you produce, you interview. have you ever thought about leaving the entertainment side of things behind and just going off and being a producer of other genres? >> it's so funny because i started wanting to be a producer.

and i remember my boyfriend at the time was like, you've got to be in front of the camera. you can produce at the same time. so i'm excited at e, i'll be producing at the same time. with this show i feel like what i got to do here and at nightly news meets the entertainment world. i'm mashing it together. >> thank you very mentioning your boyfriend kevin. you did a reality show recently and you exposed portions of your personal life. you and kevin have been dating for 15 years. >> 16. >> how tired are you? who's more tired? you or him? >> of each other? >> no. of hearing the question, when are you going to get married. >> you know, it's a natural question. i ask people when they've been together for a long time too. i'm curious about what they're doing. but i get it. my parents are really the ones asking the most. >> so what's the answer? >> the answer is i think that when we grow up and finally attack the whole kids thing, we'll do it all at once. >> when you grow up? >> yeah, when i grow up, matt. >> 15 years. are you a commitment phobe? >> perhaps. should we explore this?

>> maybe that's an untold moment. have you missed me, matt? >> i have missed your laugh in particular. really nice to see you. good luck. >> thank you so much. >> catch the premiere of "untold with maria menounos" tomorrow on e. up next, listen up savannah. maternity fashion with "today" show m

washington bridge. trees down, power lines down, a lot of folks without power. and airports were just paralyzed for a good portion of the day. >> so is the polar invasion over? >> this was the cool air moving its way into the warm, moist air mass. it's hanging around, but it's starting to moderate now. but it's been crazy. then we've got the drought out in california. worst drought ever. one estimate $2.2 billion in losses just in agriculture alone. water restrictions, fines as out of august 1st. california will be the first to levy fines for water wasters. as much as $500 a day for individuals. as much as $10,000 a day for businesses. >> you pay the price. >> they take it to people asking to drought shame their neighbors and other businesses. you see people wasting water, post it online with the

#droughtshame. >> they shouldn't be watering their lawn or washing their cars. >> and then you've got these wildfires out in washington state and oregon with temperatures way over what they should be. into the 90s and 100s. that's going to moderate. it's calming down after today, but it's been a wild week. >> all these are connected in some way? >> the jet stream out west is up to the north. they have had no rain on the west coast. and it's warmer than usual. unfortunately no relief in sight now. >> well, switching to another topic and a scary subject, remember last month we reported the break-in at sandra bullock's home. now we're starting to find out more about what happened when she came apparently face-to-face with an intruder outside of her bedroom door last month. according to newly obtained search warrants, they describe the encounter between bullock and her alleged stalker james

corbett. and in the affidavit you learn the details apparently he broke into her home a little after 6:00 in the morning. she saw him walking right outside her bedroom. that's when she had the presence of mind, thank goodness, to lock herself into her bedroom. she called 911. she alerted the police. they were able to get there and take him into custody. fortunately her baby son -- he's no longer a baby. he's a toddler now. he was not there at the time, so thank goodness for that. but corbett was arrested. apparently when he was being arrested, he then started screaming sandy, i'm sorry, please don't press charges. and police discovered on him at the time as well he had a notebook with handwritten letters. he claimed in that notebook to be the father of the son and to be her husband. clearly a man who has a lot of issues that he's dealing with. and apparently when police investigated, they went to his

home, they did find a bunch of machine guns and other armed weapons as well. so he's currently in custody right now under arrest. due back in court -- >> he's out on bail right now. >> how is that possible? >> it's stunning, but he's got $2 million bail. usually you pay -- well, if you bond out, 10%. if you have a family member that puts up a home. he has mental health issues which is a complicating factor in some cases. but he is out on bail. he's got a court date coming up. to natalie's point, to have the presence of mind. and she was at a vulnerable point that she was in the shower and she got out of the shower according to the information available. and she heard a loud sound. and suspects that he was in the home for some period of time. >> that's frightening. >> isn't that frightening? >> and apparently in the writings in the notebook, he had alluded to the fact he had been there before. you don't know if he had been

scoping the place out. just incredibly frightening. >> terrifying for her. think about that young boy. thank goodness he wasn't there. terrifying. we're glad that guy is caught. some happier news, derek jeter. make no apologies he's my man. >> just your man? >> i'm a yankees fan. he's my man. in his 14th and final all-star game. he got a couple of standing ovations as you can imagine. and in true derek jeter form, stepped up with the biggest spotlight on him, hit a double in his first at bat and a single in his second. he was 2 for 2. this is a classic jeter hit, by the way. right down the right field line. after he was pulled from the game, he walked back to the dugout and hugged every last one of his teammates on the american league all-star team. every coach, every trainer, every pr guy. everybody in that dugout. >> just a class act.

>> isn't he? >> and he said to the other players, enjoy each moment because it goes so fast. >> i can remember the day where he signed on with the yankees. you know, it's amazing. time does fly. >> and in this day and age of free agency and people moving from team to team, for kids to have grown up as we did, as i did growing up watching players spend their whole career with one team, it's such a gift. >> there's not a lot of loyalty these days. >> the starting shortstop for the other team is a guy named troy tulowitzki for the rockies. he said i play shortstop because of derek jeter. i wear number 2 because of derek jeter. and there he was playing opposite of him. jeter's legacy will go on. he was the biggest star in the biggest city with the biggest spotlight for 20 years. never got in any trouble. never had any problems with his

personal life in it. >> like him a lot. >> all right. this is it now. >> not sure why i got this assignment, but here we go. >> you're fired up. >> a chicago company has been accused of limiting employees' bathroom breaks to six minutes. al is packing up his newspapers for a potty break when natalie reads the news. >> how long is your news? >> you get cover to cover? >> it depends. >> that's too much information. okay. >> a water faucet saver company has reportedly started timing bathroom breaks giving workers formal warnings when they can't beat the clock. they issue swipe cards, not wipe cards. swipe cards when you enter the bathroom and come out. >> that's ridiculous. just ridiculous. >> a complaint was filed claiming the company unfairly disciplined.

they're not just talking. they're acting. >> do they spank you? >> the company did offer to compromise. this is the compromise. it would pay you a buck a day if they avoided going to the bathroom outside of designated times. the theory is they want to conserve water. i don't know. it's a faucet company. they declined to comment due to the contract negotiations with the unions. >> ridiculous. we have talked about this. it takes me a minute, minute and a half to set up shop just once i get in there. you got the paper. you know, this is the deal. you got to get the paper. >> my husband dotakes the ninteo in. >> we're talking at work. you're not setting up shop. >> i know what you're doing during news with natalie. >> best part of the show. news with natalie is the best part of the show.

willie and i wait for that part. we leave. >> they're not kidding. my little office is across from the mens bathroom. how many times have you walked out and i've run into you walking out -- >> not that many. >> six, seven today. >> stop this. this is madness. >> al is more of a two, three minute guy. that didn't sound right, but you know what i mean. >> actually, you're giving me too much credit. >> what are we talking about? >> oh, my. i think we're going to move along now. anyway, good news is rain is finally coming to an end here in the northeast. we still are going to see more showers and thunderstorms. basically these systems are training up along this front. just want to give you a little idea of how -- where this rain all the way from the carolinas up on into new england. we're looking at showers and thunderstorms. and so we do have some new

england flooding today. flash flood watches and warnings in effect. because we could see another one to two inches of rain. out west more rain, monsoonal moisture. we've got a risk of storms today from pueblo to lubbock. a lot of rain, we could see flooding as well there. and tomorrow again we've got that shower and thunderstorm risk of strong storms. central texas along the oklahoma border. so we will be watching for flash flooding possible there. because as you can see, anywhere from one to five inches of rain depending on where you are. the pacific northwest 9:10. good wednesday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren, taking a live look from mt. hamilton, looking mostly cloudy here for now. as we progress throughout the day today, temperatures are going to be comfortable, but i can tell you right now, those clouds are going to be with us for most of the day. here's downtown san jose

and use it to your advantage. good morning, ladies. >> good morning. >> so joyce, on this stress test, you fall into one of three categories. hybrid, thinker or warrior. does that apply to most people? >> across the board, you are one of the categories. 50% of the population is hybrids, and a quarter and a quarter are thinkers and warriors. and how you manifest your stress depends on which type you are. >> people at home figure out who they are because we're going to give you the quiz as well. but you say this is all sort of deals with your wiring. it's sort of in your dna and how your brain handles with dopamine levels handles that stress, is that right? >> exactly. so for the thinkers, they do well in an everyday situation. their dopamine levels are up without high stress and they can get things done without fire underneath them. the warriors don't have a lot of dopamine until there's that stress, until there's that deadline. until they're in front of an audience and they have to be on.

>> they turn it on. >> we took the test. we were all hybrids except for willie. >> willie's a warrior. >> willie the warrior. >> i don't remember being a warrior. >> here's the five questions. and we'll go through them. number one, how would you rate your tolerance for pain? low? medium? high? i mean, who line likes pain? >> no one likes pain but it's about the amount of dopamine you carry in your brain on a regular basis. thinkers carry a high level. they don't have any more room for more dopamine. so they can't have that extra burst to help abate the pain. whereas a warrior who has a lower threshold, they can have that burst and it sort of carries them through. >> okay. what did you guys put? do you remember? >> i put medium because i don't like shots. >> that's kind of like hybrid. having been through childbirth, high. >> the ultimate. >> let's look at another question. before an important job interview, you always feel "a," nervous, "b," energized, or "c,"

anxio anxious? >> so again, for the thinker, they like to -- they're strategists. they like to have predictable situations. job interviews can be unpredictable. so a warrior tends to do better in that. but for thinkers who like to have that predictability, they can take steps to get some predictability. like figuring out what they're going to wear beforehand. having some control over the situation will really help a thinker in those impromptu situations. >> did we all answer energized on that? >> yeah. >> all right. i love this. where do you do your best work? bathroom was not one of the options. quiet, bustling environment or somewhere in the middle. doctor, you say there's no right or wrong answer with that. >> there's no right or wrong answer for any of these. what's important is simply that you understand yourself. how do you react to stress, and then you use your strengths. >> yeah. i'm somewhere in the middle. a little bit of something going on around me. number four, think back to the last time that you were in a potentially panicky situation. for example, your car broke down
