00:00:00Music
00:00:19You know, Michael and I are on an eternal quest for many perfect things.
00:00:23One of them is perfect corned beef hash in a diner.
00:00:26We have found something about as close to perfect as I've eaten in the last ten years.
00:00:31Not far from our house in Grafton, Connecticut, at the Laurel Diner.
00:00:34I think there's something to be said about Zen and the art of the perfect corned beef hash.
00:00:38Oh, there's a lot to be said.
00:00:41Because so many gourmet-style restaurants screw up corned beef hash by adding the most god-awful ingredients.
00:00:46The Laurel Diner serves the classic workman-style corned beef hash made from scratch.
00:00:51And it's fantastic. In fact...
00:00:54That's us. Jane and Michael Stern.
00:00:57You may know us from the magazine column we write.
00:01:00Or from the books we've written together, 35 and counting.
00:01:04Or from our radio show. Or from TV.
00:01:08Everywhere we went, people would always say,
00:01:10God, I wish I had your life.
00:01:13You've got a great job.
00:01:15A great-looking husband.
00:01:17I'm fine.
00:01:17You get to eat what you want.
00:01:19You get to travel to all these fabulous places.
00:01:22I'm glad you are.
00:01:22You've got the perfect life.
00:01:24I love you.
00:01:24And I did.
00:01:26Would you like to sign the book?
00:01:27Oh, I would love to.
00:01:28Kind of.
00:01:29But not exactly.
00:01:30And I let you in because, well, housewives can get awfully bored sometimes.
00:01:36You're too smooth, honey.
00:01:38You're much too smooth.
00:01:39Of all the primates, baboons most frequently interact with people.
00:01:43They are the most adaptable of the ground-weming primates.
00:01:46Jane!
00:01:46They live in a wide variety of habitats.
00:01:48Intelligent and...
00:01:50The fact was that I was having a sort of midlife event.
00:01:56I was a producer in Minneapolis on the phone.
00:01:58We fly out there on the 10th, in case you're interested.
00:02:02And the flames quickly spread, burning the entire house to the ground.
00:02:06The station's arranged a bus trip for us with listeners.
00:02:10It's to a little restaurant.
00:02:11It's about three hours into the country.
00:02:14So, uh, what have you been doing?
00:02:17Watching TV.
00:02:19Okay!
00:02:20Don't go away.
00:02:21We'll be taking your calls as our canine fashion show continues.
00:02:27Go ahead.
00:02:29I'm going to the barn.
00:02:31Michael had been sober for a little over a year.
00:02:33And now he had started spending more and more time at AA meetings
00:02:37or out at High Lonesome Stables with his horse.
00:02:40I didn't have to take care of him anymore.
00:02:42Not the way I had.
00:02:44After your ride, are you coming straight home?
00:02:46I think.
00:02:48Kirby, come.
00:02:50Be careful.
00:02:52KT starts acting spooked.
00:02:54Jane.
00:02:54I'll be okay.
00:03:02Easy!
00:03:03Whoa!
00:03:04Whoa!
00:03:06Whoa!
00:03:06Here we go!
00:03:07Wear a helmet!
00:03:11What's that Jane girl up to today?
00:03:14She's sitting in front of the TV in her bathrobe.
00:03:18Is she sick?
00:03:19Not exactly.
00:03:20More like impossible to be around right now.
00:03:24You know, there's a...
00:03:25There's a scene in AA, Pete.
00:03:29Spouses get better much slower than we do.
00:03:37I knew Michael had reached a point where he was frustrated with me and my phobias.
00:03:41I've always had fears about just about everything.
00:03:45You name it.
00:03:46Now fear was taking hold of my life.
00:03:49But I just couldn't do anything about it.
00:03:59Jane?
00:04:00Oh.
00:04:01Hi!
00:04:02I haven't seen you in a while.
00:04:03What have you been up to?
00:04:05Oh.
00:04:05Work.
00:04:06Working.
00:04:07Some new projects.
00:04:08Have you seen the display?
00:04:10Well, make sure you do.
00:04:12Okay.
00:04:20Working?
00:04:22You're working on trying to get out of bed in the mornings.
00:04:24Why don't you tell her that?
00:04:32Can I get a picture, please?
00:04:33Come on, Jane.
00:04:35Welcome to Minneapolis.
00:04:36Hi!
00:04:37We're really glad to be here.
00:04:40Michael, I can't do this.
00:04:42Hi, Michael.
00:04:42The idea of being trapped with a group of strangers for three hours on a bus going who knows where
00:04:48driven by somebody I don't even know.
00:04:50I mean, does he look like the kind of bus driver that would stop the bus if I asked him
00:04:53to?
00:04:53Jane, these people paid a hundred bucks a piece to meet us.
00:04:56You think they'd let me drive the bus?
00:04:58No.
00:05:02You?
00:05:03No.
00:05:05Jane, you said you might want to ride in the car with me.
00:05:07Yes.
00:05:10It'll be okay.
00:05:11I'll talk to all the listeners when we get to the restaurant.
00:05:19Let's go.
00:05:21This is the final boarding call, flight 387.
00:05:24They loved the food.
00:05:27Excuse me.
00:05:31They loved the tote bags.
00:05:35I don't know why we couldn't have eaten someplace in Minneapolis.
00:05:39They live in Minneapolis.
00:05:41Well, there are plenty of great restaurants in town we wouldn't have to take a bus to.
00:05:45Well, the point for them was to go on an adventure.
00:05:47Somewhere new.
00:05:49I think that's stupid.
00:05:55Some days I'd be so down in the dumps I could barely leave the house.
00:06:02Michael told me about the sign that was always up at his AA meetings.
00:06:06You are not alone.
00:06:08But I was.
00:06:16Being a writer is not like having a job job.
00:06:19It's a weird, unstructured life.
00:06:23Stretches of time went by now when I saw no one but Michael.
00:06:27It was hard to find the energy to get dressed.
00:06:29Why get dressed?
00:06:31There was no pressing need to.
00:06:34No pun intended.
00:06:42Oh.
00:06:44Oh, oh. Jane?
00:06:48Jane, what's the matter?
00:06:53No.
00:06:55I'm okay.
00:07:08I'm okay.
00:07:09Okay.
00:07:11Oh.
00:07:12Oh.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:29I don't know what's with me.
00:07:32I got all panicky and couldn't do it.
00:07:33I couldn't ride.
00:07:35So you got off and you walked.
00:07:37It's no big deal.
00:07:38Pete, you know me.
00:07:40I love to ride.
00:07:40I've ridden since I was a little girl.
00:07:44Oh.
00:07:48Michael's changed.
00:07:50Every day he gets up.
00:07:52Works two hours.
00:07:53Goes to his meeting at seven.
00:07:54Some days he goes to three meetings.
00:07:57And then he comes out here.
00:07:59To get away from me.
00:08:01And I know it.
00:08:03I don't think that that's the case.
00:08:06Has he said anything to you?
00:08:11No, I guess he wouldn't.
00:08:13Michael's still Michael.
00:08:15Look, if you want, I'll go out there with you on the trail next time.
00:08:18I'll walk ahead of you and Pi again and lead you.
00:08:22You would, wouldn't you?
00:08:24Well, I said I would.
00:08:39I'm just thrilled to be working with you guys.
00:08:41Us too.
00:08:43You know, we really like the region by region idea for the new edition.
00:08:47Aren't you in Chicago next week?
00:08:48Uh, yeah.
00:08:49We're gonna try that new state place that you mentioned.
00:08:51Oh, you will love it.
00:08:53Oh, you'll love it.
00:08:54Anyway, the book.
00:08:55Yeah, it just seems to make more sense to break it down that way.
00:08:58In case somebody's using it on a road trip.
00:09:00You know, instead of state by state.
00:09:02This meatloaf rocks.
00:09:05So how do you guys work?
00:09:06Well, in the old days, uh, we'd sit down together.
00:09:10In the old days we did everything together.
00:09:12But now, I pretty much do a draft and then Jane takes it and she does a draft and then
00:09:16we, uh, we look at it together.
00:09:19Hmm.
00:09:21Because we'd like to have this for our spring list.
00:09:23Shouldn't be a problem.
00:09:27Shouldn't be.
00:09:30Michael, where are you going?
00:09:31I'm just gonna get something to drink. Jane, please.
00:09:34Please what?
00:09:35You just, you're so needy.
00:09:38I am not.
00:09:39You know, you've become this anxiety riddled reckless because you don't have anybody to micromanage anymore.
00:09:44Okay, let's just, uh, can you get me a Danish or something?
00:09:47You know, you've micromanaged me all these years. You won't know the truth.
00:09:50Would you stop it with that word? I hate those words. It's like empower or proactive.
00:09:54Jane, it sucks being the center of somebody else's life.
00:10:01I'll be right back.
00:10:07Ladies and gentlemen, the tower has just directed us to a different runway.
00:10:10Please remain seated with your seat belts fastened. We should be airborne shortly.
00:10:14Are you okay?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:17As long as it's moving in the direction it's supposed to be going.
00:10:21Thank you, sir.
00:10:25Well, ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we're gonna be sitting here for a while.
00:10:31The tower seems to be having some, uh, traffic control problems.
00:10:35I'll let you know when we're cleared for takeoff.
00:10:44This thing is like an MRI machine with wings.
00:10:56Why isn't there an update from the pilot? It's been like two hours.
00:11:06Oh, crap.
00:11:09Do you have any snacks?
00:11:10Sorry. There's nothing to eat on this plane.
00:11:14I need something.
00:11:15I don't know what we're gonna do. Last time you passed out.
00:11:27It's an emergency.
00:11:34Would you like this? It might help.
00:11:37Thanks.
00:11:52You should've seen your face.
00:11:56Oh, man.
00:12:03That looks like you saved the day.
00:12:06I guess I did.
00:12:19I couldn't stop thinking about the boy on the plane.
00:12:22It made me look at everything I knew about myself that I wanted to be different.
00:12:27So right then and there, I made a decision.
00:12:30I decided to take control of my life.
00:12:33You, lady, I don't think this is for you.
00:12:36Oh, well, I sure would like to give it a try.
00:12:39You're talking car accidents.
00:12:41You have to be prepared to deal with all sorts of unpleasant sights.
00:12:46And I mean some pretty damn grizzly ones.
00:12:49Oh, well, I would imagine.
00:12:52Death and disfigurement?
00:12:54I mean some of us end up heaving our guts out.
00:12:57You can't help it.
00:12:58Oh, I hate vomit.
00:12:59Loads of vomit.
00:13:00I try never to vomit.
00:13:02They'll vomit all over you.
00:13:03I guarantee you.
00:13:05Cooped up in the back of an ambulance.
00:13:07Cooped?
00:13:07Racing down some bumpy road.
00:13:11You haven't kept in shape.
00:13:13I understand.
00:13:15Thanks, though, for your time.
00:13:19Yeah.
00:13:20Yeah.
00:13:21Sure.
00:13:25Hey.
00:13:48Oh.
00:13:51Just trying to get a feel for it in there.
00:13:54What it feels like for the horses.
00:13:56You know, all cooped up.
00:13:59Is this a writer's thing?
00:14:01Right.
00:14:02Research.
00:14:16Piece of cake.
00:14:25Can I look inside the ambulance?
00:14:35Do these doors open from the inside?
00:14:39Yeah.
00:14:43What is it exactly that you're looking for?
00:14:47Nothing.
00:14:48Really.
00:14:48I've just never been inside an ambulance before.
00:15:13Good.
00:15:14I mean, you're not, uh, trapped in here.
00:15:18With the sick, vomiting person.
00:15:27You know what?
00:15:30I really want to sign up for that class.
00:15:34Brother.
00:15:41Hey.
00:15:42Where were you?
00:15:44The Grafton Firehouse.
00:15:46Guess what?
00:15:48What?
00:15:49I'm going to be an EMT.
00:15:51I'm not kidding, Michael.
00:15:53Who said you were?
00:15:54What do you do as an EMT?
00:15:57Well, you pull dying people from car wrecks.
00:16:00Stuff like that.
00:16:02Jane, you're 52 years old.
00:16:04You're not going to be a fireman.
00:16:06EMT.
00:16:07EMT.
00:16:07You know, the other day, helping that kid on the plane, that was one time in my life
00:16:13when I didn't feel like the whole world was collapsing around me.
00:16:15Yeah, but come on, Jane.
00:16:17I mean, I'm not going to be an EMT.
00:16:19Every twinge you get is like a brain tumor, MS, stroke.
00:16:24Well, look at my family.
00:16:25I mean, every one of them.
00:16:27They wouldn't fly.
00:16:28They wouldn't take boats.
00:16:29They wouldn't talk on public telephones.
00:16:31They wouldn't eat in restaurants because they were afraid they would be poisoned.
00:16:34I mean, I'm just like them.
00:16:35My whole life, I've just been paralyzed by my fears.
00:16:39Well, number one is admitting that you're powerless.
00:16:41I know, I know.
00:16:43Twelve steps.
00:16:45But this is not like that.
00:16:50I've done powerless.
00:16:53Just doesn't cut it.
00:16:55Not anymore.
00:17:06Don't loiter in the lobby.
00:17:08Yeah.
00:17:11Don't park in the spaces in the parking lot reserved for police cars.
00:17:17Yeah.
00:17:30Okay, people, listen up.
00:17:35Let's get started.
00:17:36Let's get started.
00:17:39Though you will be volunteers, your training will be the same as the paid professional.
00:17:45I'd like to assist her.
00:17:47You will know how to insert airways to allow the patient to breathe.
00:17:51You will assist paramedics who must insert needles into chest cavities if the patient's lungs collapse.
00:17:57Hi, I'm Jane.
00:17:59Good.
00:18:03When a paramedic has to administer morphine, you will spike the bag and set it up so that instead of
00:18:10a bone-jarring ride to the hospital, the patient will feel like they're a baby in its mother's arms.
00:18:21As an EMTB, you will be smack in the middle of the emergency care hierarchy.
00:18:27This is the most stressful job of all.
00:18:30Know the warning signs of stress, people.
00:18:33Anxiety, guilt, indecisiveness, insomnia.
00:18:37I already have all of those.
00:18:39How will I know when the job's getting to me?
00:18:51B.S.I.
00:18:53Body, substance, isolation.
00:18:55B.S.I.
00:18:57I'm number one.
00:18:58B.S.I.
00:18:59I'm number one.
00:19:01You are an EMT.
00:19:03You do not even think about touching a patient without at least a barrier of rubber between you and them.
00:19:09I'm number one.
00:19:11I'm number one.
00:19:12You are important to yourself and to the rescue unit.
00:19:17You arrive on a scene and someone is pointing a gun at you.
00:19:21The house is burning down.
00:19:23Toxic fumes are clouding the air.
00:19:25Or some psychotic is telling you the Martians have ordered him to kill you now.
00:19:30You do not attempt to be a hero.
00:19:35You run for cover and get help.
00:19:38You run for cover and get help.
00:19:38That's what being number one is all about.
00:19:42B.S.I.
00:19:43I'm number one!
00:19:45B.S.I.
00:19:46I'm number one!
00:19:48Later!
00:19:49B.S.I.
00:19:50I'm number one!
00:19:52Later!
00:19:53B.S.I.
00:19:54I'm number one!
00:19:56Later!
00:20:06B.S.I.
00:20:07I'm number one!
00:20:15Jane?
00:20:19Are you all right?
00:20:21Michael, this is it.
00:20:23This is the other side of what happens if you ever have to call 911.
00:20:27I hope I never have to.
00:20:29Yeah, but if you do...
00:20:32Ed, he's our teacher.
00:20:34He's this professional EMT from over in Bridgeport.
00:20:36You wouldn't believe some of the stuff he's seen.
00:20:39And next time, he's going to teach us how to cut people's clothing really fast
00:20:43and look them over for bullet wounds that have entered and exited.
00:20:46Honey, are you going to get undressed?
00:20:48When there's an emergency, you've got to be able to jump in your clothes
00:20:51and get out the door in a split second, day or night.
00:20:53Oh, boy.
00:20:56This stuff is amazing.
00:20:58Good, good. Let's just... Let's go see.
00:21:11Scapula. Maxilla. I love these words.
00:21:15Cyanotic means blue from lack of oxygen.
00:21:17Ah, I didn't know that.
00:21:20Oh, my God.
00:21:22You have to look at this.
00:21:24I'll pass, thanks.
00:21:24No, you have to look at this.
00:21:27His...
00:21:29The skin's been peeled off like a glove.
00:21:35I can't do this.
00:21:38Eh, they're probably just showing you the worst-case scenario.
00:21:44Huh.
00:21:49It's cool.
00:21:53Save it from choking.
00:22:05You killed him.
00:22:25Maybe mine's defective.
00:22:27Mm-hmm.
00:22:29Oh, my God.
00:22:36Oh, my God.
00:22:37Oh, my God.
00:22:39Oh, my God.
00:22:39Oh, my God.
00:22:40Oh, my God.
00:22:43Oh, my God.
00:22:58Stern.
00:23:00You killed him.
00:23:02He had a heart attack, and now...
00:23:04he has a fatal head trauma.
00:23:11Stearn.
00:23:13Rescue Randy is not a beanbag chair.
00:23:25Michael, slow down.
00:23:28This is a metal cage waiting to kill us in a dozen ways I never even knew about.
00:23:32Oh, great.
00:23:34How do you get trapped inside under water?
00:23:37Seatbelt can crush my intestines.
00:23:39Well, here we go.
00:23:41A little bit of knowledge.
00:23:42Something else to get nuts about.
00:23:44You can hit your head on the dashboard, send your brain bouncing around inside your skull.
00:23:49No, it's not just cars, Jane.
00:23:52Dogs have big teeth because of your function wounds.
00:23:56Shut up.
00:23:57Bees can sting you.
00:23:59You can go into anaphylactic shock.
00:24:00Stop!
00:24:08I take this horse and I walk him around back and I stand there for a minute and then bring
00:24:16him out again.
00:24:17Same horse.
00:24:18Oh, sure.
00:24:18Same damn horse.
00:24:22And he looks it up and down.
00:24:25How much?
00:24:26I tell him $20,000 and Joey starts peeling off the bills.
00:24:34I gotta go.
00:24:35I'm gonna be late.
00:24:36You go get him, ambulance girl.
00:24:41See you, guys.
00:24:47Hey, Pete.
00:24:47Listen, I told Jane that the next time we go out to Wyoming or the Dakotas on the research trip,
00:24:53I want you to come with us, too.
00:24:55Oh, I'd love to see that country.
00:24:57Yeah.
00:24:57Yeah, just the two of us.
00:24:59We'd go out there for a couple days and ride out and get lost.
00:25:05You remind me to tell Jane about the mayor in heat and my stallion going right at it, with me
00:25:12hanging on for dear life.
00:25:14Yeah, that's her kind of story.
00:25:19That Jane's a great girl.
00:25:27Listen up, people.
00:25:29We need to walk through this together.
00:25:31One out of 20 of you has a main artery that is congenitally faulty and will, at some time, hemorrhage.
00:25:38You're lucky, and it is found in time, you will not die.
00:25:43Stern, take your hand off your carotid artery.
00:25:45You're stopping blood supply to the brain.
00:25:51Okay.
00:25:57Ow, ow, ow, ow, stop it.
00:25:59You're leaving me.
00:26:02Machinery's not my strong suit.
00:26:04Clearly.
00:26:19You're, uh, your blood pressure's very high.
00:26:31It's true.
00:26:33P is for profit.
00:26:37I can't for the life of me remember how many liters of oxygen are in an M-sized O2 tank.
00:26:42Some of the lectures are like, do not try to replace someone's organs if they are hanging from their body.
00:26:49They say this with a straight face.
00:26:51Who would do these things?
00:26:55What's that?
00:26:56Uh, it's called pass EMT.
00:26:57If there is an impaled object in the neck, do not remove it.
00:27:00I'm going to watch it twice a day until it soaks in, and I pass my boards.
00:27:04Well, just be careful.
00:27:05You're not exactly Lance Armstrong.
00:27:06I have to start working out every day.
00:27:08I'm going to do this, Michael.
00:27:09I think it's good, Jane.
00:27:11You do?
00:27:11Well, yeah, you're doing your own thing.
00:27:13It's good to see.
00:27:14Looking at the eyes, do they respond to life?
00:27:16Are they equal?
00:27:18Do they move symmetrically?
00:27:20Without moving his head, we'll have the patient follow our index finger as we move it side to side and
00:27:26up and down.
00:27:26If my movement is restricted...
00:27:29On almost every call, you will be responsible for lifting and moving patients without aggravating their current condition...
00:27:35I may be more than twice his age, but I don't care.
00:27:38...knowledgeable about proper methods of lifting and moving to prevent injury to yourself.
00:27:42So, straight up, and right back down.
00:27:52Well, who wants to help me out up here?
00:27:54Oh.
00:27:58Spencer and I will now hoist the patient in the air and place her in the stair chair.
00:28:05How much do you weigh, Stern?
00:28:07I never volunteer that.
00:28:17You're unconscious, Stern.
00:28:30Hi.
00:28:32I'm Jane.
00:28:34I'm an EMT.
00:28:37All right, Jane.
00:29:01Do not touch anything.
00:29:03Do not talk to the firemen.
00:29:05Do not ask them questions.
00:29:08I feel like a second grader going to a museum.
00:29:11Stern!
00:29:12Yes, sir?
00:29:17The stair chair.
00:29:18It's a holding chair used for carrying someone in a sitting position down the stairs.
00:29:23You be the patient.
00:29:30Come on.
00:29:31Come on.
00:29:32Yeah.
00:29:34Don't worry.
00:29:35I'm really strong.
00:29:37All right.
00:29:37On my count of three.
00:29:39One.
00:29:39Two.
00:29:40Three.
00:29:49I have to stop.
00:29:52Oh.
00:29:53Stern.
00:29:54Maybe you should take the foot part.
00:29:55It's a little lighter.
00:29:56I don't do backward.
00:29:57Even at home.
00:29:58Stern!
00:30:04I'll tell you how to step off.
00:30:06Lift.
00:30:08Step.
00:30:10Step.
00:30:10Just don't let him hang in the air.
00:30:14Keep both hands on a chair.
00:30:15You will drop him.
00:30:18Oh.
00:30:21Oh.
00:30:22Oh.
00:30:23Oh, Robert.
00:30:23Let's go.
00:30:24Oh.
00:30:26Oh.
00:30:26Oh.
00:30:45I can't even walk down a flight of stairs without holding on.
00:30:55I'd trust you to carry me.
00:30:57Well, you'd really have to be out of it.
00:30:58Besides, that's what the cops and firemen are there for to help you lift people.
00:31:03Ooh.
00:31:04Big hunky men at my command.
00:31:06Now I feel better.
00:31:09You sure you don't mind if I use you as a guinea pig?
00:31:12I love playing doctor with you.
00:31:18Normal.
00:31:32That's a gorgeous saddle.
00:31:34There's nothing you can't do.
00:31:37Michael and I wish you had been our father.
00:31:39That would have made you some kind of perverts.
00:31:42That would have made you some kind of perverts.
00:31:42Okay, then.
00:31:43You can be Michael's father.
00:31:45My father.
00:31:46My father had a steel plate in his skull.
00:31:48Did I ever tell you that?
00:31:49Mm-hmm.
00:31:50He'd...
00:31:51He'd just go off, you know?
00:31:52These uncontrollable rages.
00:31:54It was something about him playing on the trolley tracks when he was a kid.
00:31:57His forehead caved in and then came out again.
00:31:59Kind of weird.
00:32:00I guess where the plate was.
00:32:01I used to have these nightmares about Frankenstein's monster chasing me.
00:32:08When I was eight, my mother packed me up and ran away with me while he was out walking her
00:32:12dog.
00:32:13She studied to be a concert pianist.
00:32:15And when we finally found a place, the only thing she brought was her grand piano.
00:32:19So we ate our meals on top and then we slept underneath.
00:32:21Well, that's a vision.
00:32:24Yeah.
00:32:25He never forgave her for leaving.
00:32:31He threatened to kill us both.
00:32:33I was afraid to leave the house.
00:32:39When was this?
00:32:40How long ago?
00:32:43Well, it was when I...
00:32:46It was a long time ago.
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:51A long time ago.
00:32:56Let me see if I can find my old binoculars so I can see back that far.
00:33:10I suppose I should wait until I even pass my boards.
00:33:14Of course I'm gonna pass my boards.
00:33:16They have all these cool websites where you can order this EMT stuff.
00:33:20Oh!
00:33:21Damn it!
00:33:23Apply pressure!
00:33:25I'll call 911.
00:33:26No, you won't.
00:33:27It's not that bad.
00:33:29What are you so happy about?
00:33:31I'm not!
00:33:31Well, you don't exactly inspire confidence.
00:33:35Apply more pressure!
00:33:38Do you want me to come down?
00:33:39No.
00:33:39Here.
00:33:40Jane.
00:33:41Jane.
00:33:42Please.
00:33:42Stop.
00:33:43Elevate it.
00:33:44Look, easy.
00:33:45I'm not exactly Rescue Randy.
00:33:46I know.
00:33:47Rescue Randy lets me help him.
00:33:48Please.
00:33:52I think you should go to the ER.
00:33:55Let me drive you.
00:33:56No.
00:33:56I'm gonna go at the CKT.
00:33:57What?
00:33:59Keep applying pressure!
00:34:01Here.
00:34:03Michael!
00:34:04At least let me take a look at it!
00:34:06This EMT stuff is making you even more of a control freak!
00:34:10Kirby!
00:34:11Up!
00:34:36Hey.
00:34:38You should get some stitches in that boy.
00:34:40You need to get to a doctor.
00:34:42What?
00:34:53What?
00:34:55Dr. Leeds, please report to physical therapy.
00:34:58Oh.
00:35:00Oh.
00:35:01Oh.
00:35:02Oh.
00:35:05Jane, why don't you just go wait outside?
00:35:08Oh.
00:35:09Just go wait outside.
00:35:10Okay.
00:35:11You gonna be okay?
00:35:12I'll be fine.
00:35:12Okay.
00:35:19Dr. Phillips, please call 556.
00:35:21Dr. Phillips, please call 556.
00:35:24Dr. Phillips, please call 556.
00:35:28Sometimes life is a waiting game.
00:35:31Now all I had to do was pass my boards.
00:35:34I'd have to wait six long, agonizing weeks until the National Registry of EMTs gave me a thumbs up or
00:35:42down.
00:35:42Those weeks crawled by, and then one day, I heard.
00:35:47Oh, my gosh.
00:35:51Oh, my gosh.
00:35:53Oh, my gosh.
00:35:57Congratulations!
00:35:58I got it!
00:35:59Michael!
00:36:01Hey!
00:36:02I passed!
00:36:05Michael!
00:36:06Way to go, James!
00:36:08I passed the National Board!
00:36:10I more than passed.
00:36:11I did exceptionally well.
00:36:12Look!
00:36:13My EMT certification, and my wallet cards, and look, patches I can sew on.
00:36:21Oh, I'm proud of you, honey.
00:36:22Oh!
00:36:23Look!
00:36:27Wow.

00:37:18Hi.
00:37:19Congratulations.
00:37:20Thanks.
00:37:21This is for you.

00:37:27You're going to need that when you fill out the ambulance runs you.
00:37:29This is so terrific.

00:37:35And his brothers, Frank and Joey, Walter, and this is Grant.
00:37:42He is going to give you your radios and your pagers.
00:37:45Nice to meet you.

00:38:13It's the star of life.
00:38:14I put it there.
00:38:16I'm in love with my sticker.
00:38:18It's like this great bonanza of stuff they give you.
00:38:23To keep the blood and debris out of my eyes.
00:38:26They gave you all this stuff?
00:38:27Some of it.
00:38:28Some of it I ordered off the internet.
00:38:33I am G65.
00:38:35That's my number.
00:38:36Huh.
00:38:39Is this too much?
00:38:41I don't care.
00:38:42I love it.
00:38:46Okay.
00:38:47I want to know something.
00:38:48What's that?
00:38:49I have to get this in my ear.
00:38:51Where is your heart?
00:38:52I don't know.
00:38:53You have to check your heart, maybe, if you have a heartbeat.
00:38:57Wully bully.

00:39:33Jane, G56 is already signed on the call.
00:39:36You're G65.
00:39:37I mean G65.
00:39:40I'm so paranoid I was going to do that, and I did it.
00:39:42I'm supposed to be like Joe Friday for the radio, not some...
00:39:45Yet on the telephone.
00:39:49Oh.
00:40:14She tricked me.
00:40:15I think she may have broken her hip.
00:40:16What is your mother's name?
00:40:18Muriel Bergman.
00:40:19Muriel.
00:40:23Hi.
00:40:24I'm Jane with the Grafton Ambulance.
00:40:27Huh?
00:40:28Don't worry, Mrs.
00:40:30We're going to fix you right up.
00:40:32Okay.
00:40:34Mrs.
00:40:34On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is the pain?
00:40:3710.
00:40:40Uh, I'm going to take a quick peek, and I'll try to be as gentle as I can.
00:40:45Oh!
00:40:46Oh, my God.
00:40:48I'm so sorry.
00:40:50Um.
00:40:52I'm going to take your blood pressure.
00:40:55My mother's had a mastectomy.
00:40:57Which side?
00:40:58I can't take a reading on the side that's had the surgery.
00:41:01On both sides.
00:41:08Sorry.
00:41:10Let's get a pulse.
00:41:12Okay.
00:41:13Okay.
00:41:20What happened?
00:41:22She fell.
00:41:24Did you get a pulse and a BP?
00:41:26No.
00:41:28No.
00:41:38Jane, do you want a ride with us?
00:41:40Not now.
00:41:41I have, uh, company at my house.
00:41:53I want to thank you for all your help.
00:41:58Good night.
00:42:01You're lucky I didn't kill her.
00:42:06Kept calling her Mrs. like I was the cleaning lady.
00:42:11Boy, that Audrey.
00:42:13Boy, she's the real deal.
00:42:15I mean, she knows what to do in an emergency.
00:42:17I only know what to do on paper.
00:42:19Jane.
00:42:20Then I couldn't even get in the back of the ambulance.
00:42:23If I had, they would have had another patient on their hands.
00:42:27This whole thing has been a huge mistake.
00:42:37I'm going back to bed.
00:42:45I've got to get out of this before I do some real damage.

00:53:48I'm going to go to my meeting.
00:53:49Has Michael been here?
00:53:50He came and he went.
00:53:52You missed him.
00:53:55You two haven't been around here much lately.
00:53:58Not together.
00:54:00Whoa.
00:54:02I haven't been able to keep much of a schedule these days.
00:54:11Yeah.
00:54:12Horses need that.
00:54:15Yeah.
00:54:15People too.
00:54:17Well, everybody's different.
00:54:18They need different things.
00:54:22Sometimes they just don't know it.
00:54:27Seems like you lucked out.
00:54:30Yeah.
00:54:32I always dreamed of having a big family.
00:54:35Now I feel like I do.
00:54:38Whole firehouse full of them.
00:54:46Vince.
00:54:47Hey.
00:54:48There's Vincent Rosemary.
00:54:49Jules.
00:54:50This was pretty terrific.
00:54:51I'm glad I saw you.
00:54:52Gran and Audrey say they'll take care of the photocopying for the training session on Monday if we buy the
00:54:57pizza.
00:54:58Sounds good to me.
00:55:00Jane.
00:55:03The fish stew was perfection.
00:55:05I loved it.
00:55:06She really did like it.
00:55:08Oh, the muscles and the clams and the shrimp and the scallops.
00:55:10I mean, there was like every kind of fish in there.
00:55:12It was absolutely amazing.
00:55:14And the stock.
00:55:14It's an old family recipe.
00:55:16It's secret.
00:55:18At the end, a stir of brandy.
00:55:21Brandy?
00:55:21I am in the restaurant business all my life.
00:55:24And I believe our fish stew beats any fish stew anywhere.
00:55:28Great with French bread there, Jules.
00:55:29Michael's a big dunker.
00:55:31Thanks.
00:55:32Merci.
00:55:38Great place, huh?
00:55:39I'd like to stop at that firehouse we passed coming into town.
00:55:43Why? Do you know them?
00:55:44No.
00:55:45I just want to get a picture up front.
00:55:49Wherever we travel to across the country, you always have to check out all the AA meetings.
00:55:53That's different.
00:55:54Yeah?
00:55:55How?
00:55:55Look, we have some revisions we have to make this afternoon.
00:55:58Jane, we're seeing Sarah in New York on Thursday.
00:56:01We need to reschedule that.
00:56:02She thinks she's getting the book.
00:56:04You've been working on it, haven't you?
00:56:06It's going to be ready, isn't it?
00:56:06I hope.
00:56:07Wait, wait, wait.
00:56:08Jane, look.
00:56:09Why don't you just give me what you've done and I'll finish the rest?
00:56:12No.
00:56:12I'm doing all the work anyway while you're out in the fire truck.
00:56:15That's not exactly fair.
00:56:17You bet it isn't.
00:56:19I can do this, Jane.
00:56:21Let me just do this and let's just stop all this pretending.
00:56:24You pompous...
00:56:25I don't need you anymore.
00:56:28Not like this.
00:56:29It's like pulling teeth to get you to pay attention.
00:56:32Oh, get over yourself.
00:56:33You are so full of yourself.
00:56:35Where do you think you're going?
00:56:37I'm not getting in the car with you.
00:56:39Poor Michael.
00:56:40All these years I've been on your back.
00:56:43Nothing but this huge neurotic weight around your neck.
00:56:45No, no.
00:56:46Not all these years.
00:56:47Just since I've been sober.
00:56:48And now that I'm not, you can't handle it.
00:56:53Now you know what it feels like.
00:56:54This is about getting back at me?
00:56:56You can't handle that I don't need you like that anymore.
00:56:59No.
00:57:00What I can't handle is the fact that I've lost my partner.
00:57:03And not just my writing partner.
00:57:06You're right.
00:57:07I can't handle that.
00:57:26Crafton Ambulance Personnel.
00:57:28Woman needs transport to hospital.
00:57:30Number 6 Gordon Road.
00:57:32OJ!
00:57:36The AIDS Hospice.
00:57:38I have to go.
00:57:44Yeah.
00:57:45I guess you do.
00:57:52She had a seizure?
00:58:00You don't need that.
00:58:01Nobody here is going to hurt you.
00:58:02Well, it's for the protection of the patients as well as us.
00:58:06Whatever.
00:58:08AIDS.

00:58:27Mavis Cotter.
00:58:2933.
00:58:34It's just, uh...
00:58:36They put hobbies on here.
00:58:40Sewing.
00:58:41Gospel singing.
00:58:49I really like Shirley Caesar.
00:58:54I like her, too.
00:58:58My husband.
00:58:59He likes the Clark Sisters.
00:59:06His name is Michael.
00:59:08We're writers.
00:59:11Both of you are?
00:59:13We ride together.
00:59:15Yeah.
00:59:16What about...
00:59:18Food.
00:59:19We've always loved food.
00:59:21Discussing it.
00:59:22It's like this primal thing with us.
00:59:27He's the smartest man I've ever met.
00:59:31I'm very fortunate.
00:59:37One of my top ten wishes would be to sing like Mahalia Jackson.
01:00:05I know I suck.
01:00:23Soon we will be done with the trouble of the world.
01:00:40How soon we will be done with the trouble of the world.
01:00:50I'm going home to live with God.
01:01:20You're up late?
01:01:23I, uh, left the sections I finished on your desk.
01:01:27I'll wrap up the Great Plains this afternoon.
01:01:31They called from Nicky Rivers.
01:01:32They want us in Chicago on the 5th for the taping.
01:01:43Hi.
01:01:44So what's the deal?
01:01:47Are you staying in there?
01:01:48Uh, for now.
01:01:54I really think we should see someone.
01:01:59Talk to somebody.
01:02:01Professional.
01:02:03Michael.
01:02:05This is important.
01:02:10I think we should too.
01:02:21Come here, sweet boy.
01:02:23Want to know something?
01:02:24There you go.
01:02:34Grafton ambulance personnel.
01:02:36Baby floating face down in swimming pool.
01:02:38145 Columbia Heights.
01:02:40G65, G65 responding.
01:02:43Baby floating in swimming pool.
01:02:45Okay.
01:02:47It's terrible.
01:02:49It is.
01:02:54My baby.
01:02:57What the hell?
01:02:59A dog?
01:03:00Who is there?
01:03:01Oh, 911 said his baby fell in the pool.
01:03:05This might weigh some time.
01:03:07When we got here, he was floundering around.
01:03:08He probably had a heart attack.
01:03:10I don't know what we're supposed to do with it.
01:03:11We're not going to put him in the ambulance.
01:03:13Jane, come on.
01:03:14We called the animal warden.
01:03:22You okay?
01:03:25I'm not in.
01:03:38What's wrong with the doggy?
01:03:40He's asleep.
01:03:41He's dead.
01:03:51Oh, my God.
01:03:52Oh, my God.
01:03:54Jane, what are you doing?
01:03:55He's alive.
01:03:58He's alive.
01:04:01He's alive.
01:04:02My baby.
01:04:04Winston.
01:04:11Oh, no.
01:04:14It's Rhonda from Animal Control.
01:04:16False alarm.
01:04:28You sure you don't want to put something else on?
01:04:30No.
01:04:31I'm fine.
01:04:32It's drying.
01:04:34Quite an episode.
01:04:35Yeah.
01:04:36There have been many.
01:04:37Jane saves lives.
01:04:40My own.
01:04:42I saved my own life when I became an EMT.
01:04:45Michael's angry because I don't need him to prop me up anymore.
01:04:49Is that right, Michael?
01:04:51Well, I don't really have this need to have someone to take care of.
01:04:54I never have.
01:04:55That's where you're headed.
01:04:57Where are you headed?
01:04:59He doesn't need me anymore.
01:05:01He thinks I don't need him.
01:05:02That's not exactly how I'd put it.
01:05:05Don't you begin to hate the person that you cling to the most?
01:05:08Isn't that true?
01:05:09Go to hell.
01:05:11You go to hell.
01:05:13I hate you so much.
01:05:23You know something?
01:05:25You would never talk to Vince Melnick like that.
01:05:30You'd treat him with respect.
01:05:33And just because we're married doesn't give us license to muck all over each other.
01:05:48I first saw Michael when we were in college.
01:05:51I said, are you a Scorpio?
01:05:54I knew he was a Scorpio, too.
01:05:58We were born one day apart.
01:06:01We went to Kenosha, Wisconsin once and had matching Scorpios tattooed on our legs by these Hells Angels guys.
01:06:11We've been incredibly close.
01:06:13Married 33 years.
01:06:14We were acting like we don't know each other.
01:06:16Incredibly close.
01:06:18Ever since we started writing together, we've always been a foot away from each other in the car.
01:06:22We have a double byline.
01:06:25That constant...
01:06:26Michael.
01:06:29...work.
01:06:32And I love that.
01:06:35I love it, too.
01:06:38But I don't love it now.
01:06:43I don't love it now.
01:06:56I got an extra room here.
01:07:01I'm just saying.
01:07:02In a pinch.
01:07:07For either of you.
01:07:09Yeah.
01:07:10Thanks, Pete.
01:07:12This might take you up on it.
01:07:16I don't know, Pete.
01:07:20I try to be, you know, encouraging about all this EMT stuff.
01:07:27I just keep coming off looking like the bad guy.
01:07:31If I was you, I'd be into the scotch by now.
01:07:34Yeah, well, that's just it.
01:07:35That was good for all those years.
01:07:38That was good for her, too, because she knew exactly where I was.
01:07:41Passed down in the chair.
01:07:44But then I got sober.
01:07:47And I wasn't in the chair anymore.
01:07:51I wake up every morning.
01:07:53I wonder where I've been for the last 30 years.
01:07:56I'm in the chair.
01:08:13Jay?
01:08:14Huh?
01:08:15Let me.
01:08:17Got enough room?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:22Yeah, I got it.
01:08:31You're going to be fine.
01:08:33Take it easy.
01:08:36That's it.
01:08:38You're going to be fine.
01:08:39All right, here you go.
01:08:39You're going to be fine.
01:08:41And we're going to get to the hospital.
01:08:42Sir, I'm just going to buckle you in here, okay?
01:08:44Okay.
01:08:47Anyone call her?
01:08:48She says she's going to leave us there.
01:08:50Hey, I can call her.
01:08:51I can call her.
01:09:00Jane, it's Audrey.
01:09:03You seemed a little out of it.
01:09:06I'm sorry.
01:09:07I just had to come home and lie down.
01:09:10I was feeling a little weird.
01:09:12Jane, are you okay?
01:09:15No.
01:09:19Careful, because I will burn you.
01:09:22I know a good EMT.
01:09:29I cry all the time.
01:09:35In the car, Michael drives, and I cry.
01:09:40I cry every time I see couples our age together.
01:09:45Every restaurant we go into, every motel room.
01:09:50I'm crying.
01:09:53Every couple goes through this.
01:09:55I mean, you stay together this long.
01:09:58Yeah, yeah, I know all that.
01:10:00I've seen those movies, too.
01:10:04It's just that Michael and I, I love him.
01:10:09And he says he loves me, too.
01:10:15We just don't like each other.
01:10:21God, I hope this is nerves and not Parkinson's.
01:10:26Yeah.
01:10:41And we're back with Jane and Michael Stern.
01:10:44Okay, Jane, Michael, tell me, do you ever have time to just stay home and cook?
01:10:48Yeah, people think we live out of doggy bags, but when we're not on the road, we're very passionate cooks,
01:10:54and we're passionate about kitchenware as well.
01:10:55Oh, are there pieces you just can't live without?
01:10:58Well, my favorite thing I have to have is a really good cheese grater.
01:11:02Okay, tell me, what kind do you like?
01:11:04Well, Jane and I actually have a battle royale going on about cheese graters.
01:11:07We each have our own.
01:11:08Yeah, Michael hides his cheese grater.
01:11:10That's because you don't clean yours properly.
01:11:12Really?
01:11:12Jane prefers the boxy type.
01:11:14I'm so humiliated!
01:11:16I have this great, fabulous flat one.
01:11:19It's old.
01:11:19I love it.
01:11:20I know exactly how to hold the cheese.
01:11:21Yeah, Michael is anal retentive.
01:11:23He hides his cheese grater.
01:11:24He thinks I don't know this, but the cheese grater and his coffee beans are hidden somewhere
01:11:28where he thinks I don't know where they are.
01:11:30Oh, I think I've struck a nerve here.
01:11:32You know, this naturally leads me to talking about the knives that we own.
01:11:34Yes, well, I don't like you thinking about knives, Michael, when you're annoyed with
01:11:38my kitchen habits.
01:11:39I think I'm going to have to see about getting a group rate on a marriage counselor.
01:11:43I think so, too.
01:11:46Oh!
01:11:49Woo!
01:11:55Nikki, Michael.
01:11:55Tristan, you're the best.
01:11:56That was great.
01:11:57Great job.
01:11:58You're terrific.
01:11:59I know.
01:11:59Thank you for coming on the show.
01:12:00Appreciate it.
01:12:03God, that was, uh, that was amazing.
01:12:06I know.
01:12:07Yeah.
01:12:08Even now.
01:12:10Michael?
01:12:11Hi.
01:12:12I've got the information on that barbecue plate.
01:12:20What time is the flight?
01:12:233.16.
01:12:24Why can't they just call at 3.15 or 3.20?
01:12:29Is there a stop?
01:12:31Non-stop.
01:12:32What time do we get home?
01:12:345.30.
01:12:37What did you mean when you said even now?
01:12:40It was amazing even now.
01:12:44With everything falling apart.
01:12:52Jane, we're only going to be in the air for an hour.
01:12:58I'm afraid nothing can be the same again.
01:13:02That we aren't going to be Jane and Michael Stern anymore.
01:13:05I'm afraid.
01:13:06I'm afraid I've got a hitter.
01:13:06I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be going to be in the air for an hour.
01:13:12What?
01:13:14What?
01:13:15What?
01:13:21What?

01:19:57what happened
01:19:58he was uh
01:20:00he was in the barn
01:20:01and he was cleaning out the stools
01:20:05and uh
01:20:07his brain hemorrhaged
01:20:09he had a massive stroke
01:20:11and
01:20:21and
01:20:22I don't know.
01:20:52I don't know.
01:21:22I've been showing up all morning just to help out.
01:21:26I keep expecting to see him sitting there like he always is when we come in from a ride.
01:21:31He's always there.
01:21:46He told me everything I know about riding.
01:21:53About everything.
01:22:02I know he did.
01:22:12I don't know what to do.
01:22:14I don't know what to do for him.
01:22:19I don't know what to do for him.
01:22:50We were talking about what we were going to do and our logistics.
01:22:58I couldn't stand the thought of losing you.
01:23:02I went upstairs and I had this picture of you in my head as a little girl.
01:23:10No, I didn't mean like that.
01:23:11That sounds stupid.
01:23:13No, it doesn't.
01:23:15No.
01:23:15No, what I meant was I saw myself as the same, as not a bad person.
01:23:26And I know that you're not a bad person.
01:23:31And I know that you want to be a good person with me, too.
01:23:34And I want that, too.
01:23:41I felt the same way, too.
01:23:43I don't want to lose you.
01:23:48You know, I guess what I had were these feelings for our relationship.
01:23:57When, uh, when you looked at me, I knew I could never leave you.
01:24:05As horrible as it's been?
01:24:07Yeah.
01:24:08As horrible as it's been.
01:24:11It's not worth throwing away.
01:24:15There's something really worth saving here.
01:24:25We've been eating at Mom's.
01:24:27Actually, it's called Mother's.
01:24:29It's one of our favorite restaurants in New Orleans.
01:24:31Well, it sure ain't my mother's home cooking.
01:24:32I wish my mother had cooked like this.
01:24:34My mother, unfortunately, was not a soul food cook.
01:24:37And this is great New Orleans soul food at its best.
01:24:40Which means red beans and rice, a length of really wonderfully taut sausage.
01:24:46Since I was a little girl, I've been afraid of losing people.
01:24:50The fact is, one way or the other, eventually you just do.
01:24:54As a working person's cafe...
01:24:56The thought of losing Michael frightened me so much that I almost did lose him.
01:25:01But in the end, figuring out how to be together and still allow each other our own separate lives
01:25:07made us even closer.
01:25:13At the last meeting for the Grafton Volunteer Fire Company, the meeting came to order...
01:25:19I also learned something else.
01:25:21Becoming part of a firehouse and working side by side with the men and women of the Grafton Volunteer Fire
01:25:28Department
01:25:28was the hardest thing I've ever done.
01:25:32And it helped me figure out something really interesting about fear.
01:25:38Fear is like a hologram.
01:25:41It seems real, filled with substance.
01:25:45And then, when you go beyond it, you realize it's just an illusion.
01:25:51guarantees it's just an illusion.
01:25:54What should you show me?
01:25:55When may forgiven?
01:26:07When the
01:26:07banks
01:26:07Although
01:26:21no
