In this week’s episode, both our storytellers’ lives are altered by an unexpected mishap.

Part 1: When teenage Ron Hart accidentally walks through a glass door, he lands in the ER on the worst possible day: a tornado drill.

Part 2: After a car accident leaves all of her teeth bent inward, Di Cai begins to rethink her life as a scientist.

Ron Hart is a television writer, a Moth GrandSlam Champion, and a recovering mascot.

Di Cai is an investment professional by day, a stand up comedian at night, and a sailboat skipper (aka “captain”) if there's good wind on the Hudson River. A former Chinese TV hostess turned PhD scientist; an investor moonlights as a comedian, going by a stage name Dr Dee in the underground New York comedy clubs. Whether it's stand up or storytelling, Di has her unique perspectives as an immigrant, a woman, and a badass.
