latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. is this finally the confirmation the world has been looking for. 47 days after flight 370 disappeared. sources tell abc news that this piece of metal is found on the coast of australia, south of perth, near the city of augusta, and it is being called an object of interest. are being told that this long piece of metal has been turned over to police that that area and pictures sent to investigators. also an australian aviation investigator is headed to that city to retrieve the object. and they'll study it to see if it's from the 777. nothing has been seen at the bottom of the indian ocean. the search is a 12-mile diameter circle around where the second black box ping was detected. as of this morning, ten mission, more than 80% of that search area has been covered and they still haven't seen anything. and a little bit of guidance, george. they have found other objects on the coast of australia. none so far have proved to be from this 777. >> meanwhile, we're 47 days in to this search. any sense of what more can be done?

>> reporter: yeah, i think the underwater search, over 80%, is probably going to come to an end by the end of this week. and a big transition is under way. what new equipment do you bring in? who is going to pay for it? there's a big shift coming in this search by the end of this week, george. >> okay. david kerley, thanks very much. okay, george. now, to the crisis in ukraine, and the american journalist held hostage by the pro-russian insurgents there. hundreds of american troops are sent to eastern europe in a show of support for our allies. abc's martha raddatz is there in washington for us with the latest right now. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. american troops are arriving in poland today to begin training exercises, with hundreds more in place in the baltic region by monday. it is the most aggressive show of force from the u.s. since the crisis began. 600 american soldiers immediately deployed to poland, lithuania, latvia and estonia, for infantry training exercises. and to reassure our allies and partners.

the pentagon making no secret that this is in response to putin's relentless aggression in ukraine. >> if there's a message to moscow, it's the same exact message. that we take our obligations very seriously on the continent of europe. >> reporter: a warship will also remain in the black sea. the "uss taylor" replacing "uss cook." deploy employments were announced just hours after vice president biden, who was in ukraine, issued a stern warning to putin. >> we have been clear that more provocative behavior by russia will lead to more cost and to greater isolation. >> reporter: biden said, time is running out for russia to move its tens of thousands of forces from ukraine's eastern border. and its supporters out of government buildings in ukraine. the u.s. also wants to know the fate of this american journalist, simon ostrovsky. that's ostrovsky reporting from

eastern ukraine for vice, a rapidly growing news website, before he was arrested by unidentified people in uniform. this morning, pro-russian gunmen say they are holding ostrovsky. they reportedly say he is fine, but accused him of suspected bad activities. they gave no indication when he would be released. >> thank you so much. we see the tensions continue to escalate in that region. we have new information on the teen that stowed away in the wheel well of a jumbo jet. survived a five-hour flight to hawaii in temperatures way below freezing. abc's jim avila here with the details. good morning, jim. >> reporter: still trying to figure this one out. but this morning, more answers in the stowaway's motivation and the security concerns he's caused. this morning, we're learning new details about that 15-year-old stowaway. the son of a cab driver and a junior at santa clara high school, where he reportedly moved just this year. >> he was kind of shy. he didn't really speak that much. but we were all surprised by what happened.

you know, we didn't really think it was him. >> reporter: a quiet kid, who told authorities he left home after a fight with his father and stepmother. we now know he ran away to the san jose airport and scaled a fence around 1:00 sunday morning. hiding in that hawaiian airlines 757 wheel well for nearly seven hours before it took off at 7:55 in the morning. his actions caught on tape. yet, undetected by security. >> i say why that airplane, in particular? he said it was the closest one. >> reporter: once in maui, officials say airport surveillance video captured the boy crawling out of the wheel well. >> he had a gray hooded sweatshirt, a black canvas type of jeans pants. >> reporter: experts believe the boy survived the flight with little oxygen and temperatures of at least 50 below by going into some sort of hibernation. >> he appeared to be very tired. slightly disoriented. >> reporter: the big concern this morning, airport security.

a camera did catch the teen climbing into the wheel well. but no one knew until hawaiian officials called the san jose airport and asked them to look at it. >> we're looking at what we need to do to improve so that the situation that happened on sunday does not occur again. >> reporter: we've seen perimeter security breaches before. take a look at this jeep driving down philly's runway. or this truck ramming the gate. a man running on the tarmac, chased by police. and even a pilot, trying to drive this jet off the airport grounds. the country's 450 airports have to meet federal standards. but the local officials are responsible for securing the perimeter. that, of course, is what we're looking at now. >> it's so hard to believe he got away with this and survived. now, to a new twist in the terrifying kidnapping in north carolina. the prosecutor's father held captive for five days before the fbi swooped in to save him. turns out, he was not the target of the kidnapping after all. abc's steve osunsami has that story for us.

>> reporter: this morning, new details about that violent kidnapping of 63-year-old frank jansen, the north carolina man held hostage for five nights. investigators say the kidnappers were actually after his daughter and went to the wrong address. jansen's daughter is colleen jansen. and according to a federal indictment, they were after her because she helped send 49-year-old kevin melton to prison. police say he was the brains behind the kidnapping, even though he is sitting in jail. >> melton was prosecutored by frank jansen's daughter. who is an assistant district attorney, and as a result, melton received a state sentence of life without parole. >> reporter: the indictment released tuesday, said melton worked from a cell phone in his prison cell. and promised his team of kidnappers $10,000 each. in yet another alleged kidnapping attempt in march. then in april, investigators say the kidnappers used the internet

to look up the d.a.'s address but showed up at her father's house instead. police say melton told them to wear khakis and collared shirts. when jansen opened the door, they tased him and beat him with a pistol before forcing him in a car and driving him back to atlanta. >> we can only imagine the uncertainty and confusion he experienced. >> reporter: a five-day manhunt, an elite fbi hostage release team set jansen free on april 9th. if convicted on federal kidnapping and firearm charge, all of the suspects could face life in prison with no parole. none of them has entered a plea. for "good morning america," steve osunsami, abc news, atlanta. >> our thanks to steve. now, to abc's paula faris, in for amy, with the other top developing stories. >> thank you, robin. and we do begin in florida right now where a massive sinkhole opened up this morning. authorities are working to make sure no one is inside of anyone's house.

it was part of a same sinkhole filled with concrete over the weekend, forcing several home owners to see crack wait. it's now reopened and no injuries have been reported so far. and a shocking headline for tax payers. workers at the irs have been getting bonuses even if they haven't paid their own taxes. the treasury inspector general says 1100 irs employees shared $1 million in bonuses recently, even though they themselves owed back taxes. the irs says it has a new policy in place to prevent it from happening again. and the first lawsuit has been filed stemming from the fiery crash in california when a fedex truck slammed into a tour bus killing ten people inincluding several high school students. the mother of one student is seeking $100 million from fedex, claiming its trucks has a history of catching fire from mechanical problems. no comment from fedex.

what started as a birthday celebration in a hot air balloon ended dramatically near san diego. the balloon makes a crash-landing on a busy road after heavy wind blows it off course. thankfully, the pilot managed to avoid a nearby highway. a warning to parents this morning. a new designer drug is gaining popularity among teenagers. 25i is similar to lsd. but it's more dangerous. it's also called smiles. and it's sold on colorful paper. it can lead to violent behavior. three teen girls from a washington suburb were recently hospitalized after taking it. and how about this? a kentucky man is going from mail to jail. police say over a two-year period, letter carrier brett morris dumped 45,000 letters and packages that were in storage instead of delivering them. they said he was lazy and he didn't want to finish his route. and while we're on the subject, another postal worker in kentucky is in hot water.

only loaned him the ball? >> not letting go of that ball. >> no. we're going to turn, now, to the dangerous hoax that sent a swarm of heavily-armed police into a suburban new york home. it's the practice known as s.w.a.t.'ing. this time tied to a video game. and abc's john muller here with the story. good morning, john. >> reporter: good morning. the victim a 17-year-old on spring break. he was playing the popular video game call of duty, with a stranger online. not long after that, the virtual call of duty turned into a real-life call to arms. take a look at this frightening moment in a long island, new york, neighborhood. as cops, armed for battle, swarm a home with guns drawn. as helicopters swarm overhead. the s.w.a.t. team responding to a call from a teenager saying he just killed his mom. but instead of finding a crazed killer, they learned it was all an elaborate hoax. a case of what is known as s.w.a.t.'ing. >> s.w.a.t.'ing is hoax calls, calling ought s.w.a.t teams to make believe, typically, hostage, barricade, murder situations.

>> reporter: when police arrived the only guns around were of the video game variety. >> a real problem for us. they actually have a system, i believe, where they get points in the type of tactical response the police give. whether helicopters are involved. the s.w.a.t team. >> reporter: s.w.a.t.'ing pranks have been used on some of the biggest names in hollywood. police swarmed miley cyrus' home in 2012, after receiving this fake 911 call. >> i shot my wife. >> you just shot your wife? >> i'm going to shoot someone else. >> reporter: on long island, authorities confiscated the game console found in the house to try to figure out the identity of the caller. >> the message to parents is pay more attention to what they're doing online. >> reporter: the teen's mother and brother are alive and well, but horrified when the police swarmed their home. >> something happened. and the police come to my house. everything is okay. >> i'm in shock. it's crazy. >> reporter: police think the malicious gamer behind the s.w.a.t.'ing incident probably

got the teenager's home address by tracing his i.p. address online. they continue searching for that suspect. if they find him, the charges will be anything but virtual. >> good point there. >> they have to crack down hard on this. it's so dangerous to have all those police going to the neighborhoods. >> and the poor mother was in the kitchen, having a cup of coffee. >> right. exactly. police believe she had been murdered. really, it's going too far. >> why do they think this is funny? >> it sure is. >> what happened to good, old books? yeah. there's always late-night tv. >> everybody, as you may have heard, robin's got a great new book. it's called "everybody's got something." and last night, letterman got robin. she stayed up way past her bedtime for a special appearance. >> when i got outside of, oh, i'm still going to be here, it is fascinating what they were able to do is completely deplete your immune system to the bring, and then my dear sister, sally,

she had healthy stem cells that were compatible, and she was a perfect match. so they insert her healthy cells into me. you're sitting here, not just with me, but with my sister, as well. >> we tried to get your sister. but she's on fallon. nothing works here. >> a little joke at the end there, robin. but dave was pretty serious about getting the medical stuff. >> he is really into that because he's had his own health concerns. it was a fascinating conversation. it took me off guard a little bit. lovely, everyone around there. it was just -- it was different. it was different. and i really enjoyed it. and i was up way past my bedtime. he's one of the good guys. he really is. but as we know, he has a lot of things that he does, including his top ten list, which is a big hit. so, michael strahan, we don't have time for a top ten list. but we thought we would give you a top -- top five reasons why you are here at "gma." >> my own list. okay.

a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto. like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib

not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures.

before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto. once-a-day xarelto means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. you didn't really like them before... i didn't. how about now? now i'm thinking about going the one, two, one. yeah that's good. i like one, two, one! congratulations. nothing leaves you feeling cleaner and fresher than the cottonelle care routine.

announced the 30/30 project. >> i want to do something big. >> reporter: the lewises project seeks to build medical facilities in such places as malawi, allowing people all over the world, to the same care that julie received. 30/30 has macklemore's support. >> we want to see this idea put into action. >> what people need is to have -- i was infected with hiv 30 years ago. and i never thought i would be sitting here 30 years later, talking to you. >> reporter: for "good morning america," chris connelly, abc news, new york. >> and joining us now with more on hiv and what ryan lewis is doing to help, is our chief health and medical editor, dr. richard besser. i know this is dear to your family's heart. when you look at the mother, and in 1984, wasn't diagnosed until six years later. >> right. that's absolutely incredible. most people, you go from hiv

infection to aids to a death. but we do know, now, there's some people like this who slowly progress. and there's probably genetic differences that made her incredibly lucky. >> and lucky that ryan and his sister, they had a 25% chance of contracting aids. what do we know about this mother-to-child? >> it's a critical period. if you diagnose a woman with hiv and you treat her during pregnancy and delivery, you cut that rate from 25% down to 1%. and you might -- there's programs around the world. my brother has one in africa, mothers-to-mothers. and they find, if you can get the women to be tested, and that's a big hurdle for a lot of people, and give them that drug, you have a whole generation that don't have hiv. >> i remember being there with your brother. and the impact, you could see right there, the difference it was making. >> yeah. you see the hope in people's eyes. the experience that ryan and his sister have, is something that people around the globe are getting because of these kind of efforts. >> and speaking of impact, robin, how impactful is it that

and put it to the test. fellas, we have a couple tips for you, as well. like claire on "modern family" a sexy, sultry voice comes easy for many women. >> you might want to take a nap at work today. >> reporter: but when men try it, like her husband, phil -- >> i always do. >> reporter: not so much. according to a new study by albright college, men are incapable of intentionally making their voices sound sexy. 20 women and 20 men tried to make their voices sound sexy. another 40 people judged whether they achieved that goal. and found that the women easily outperformed the men. why is it so difficult for men? i mean, even a cartoon, jessica rabbit, can do it. >> my offer stands firm. think about it. >> reporter: researchers know, that to men, an attractive voice is often linked to physical appeal. while men learn that what

attracts women is confidence. and it's that confidence, regardless of gender, that melissa katz says is the real key. is it possible to obtain a sexy voice if you don't have one? >> i think so. i think it's about attitude. and what you deem as sexy. >> reporter: dish number one, sustain sound. >> you're thinking about sustaining that sound. >> reporter: by sustaining the sound right now. >> you are. but not fully from here. >> reporter: tip number two, eye contact. >> the way we make eye contact with each other is all a part of sexiness and a way we communicate. >> reporter: eye contact. eye contact. tip number three, vocal warm-ups. >> singing and speaking are related to each other. when you start to feel, i believe, the sensuality of singing, it carries through our voice. >> reporter: you almost treat your speech like a song? >> yeah. >> reporter: before you hire a vocal coach, you can test your sexy voice, with this app. and for me, i'm working on getting it down. the things i do for this job.

the study reveals, however, that men are better at manipulating their voice to sound confidence than women. and, george, you had a good point. can you do your confidence voice? >> every day. >> good morning, america. that was great. >> i kind of -- i think that men can manipulate their voice to sound sexy. i'm not sure i necessarily -- it's time for "jury's out." >> oh. >> you're frightening me. >> fair enough. it is time for "jury's out." i just went to my own interest. first, a new trend of what are called unplugged weddings. guests are asked to leave their phones and cameras at the door, so they can enjoy the special moment distractions. my take. this sounds lovely. this sounds wonderful. but as a practical matter, i think it's really selfish.

to say -- robin's getting going. >> i'm with you on this one. >> i think it is selfish to say to people, if they have kids at home, whatever, don't touch your devices. keep them away, et cetera. it's wrong. >> what about checking in the cloak room? >> exactly. it's somebody's wedding. they're talking 20 minutes for the actual ceremony? i know it varies. come on. >> you can take pictures. >> should you tell them, though? like use common sense as a guest. and this is a very special moment. wouldn't it be a terrible shame that your -- >> i'm not suggesting that people use the devices during the procedure. i'm saying the whole idea of unplugged weddings. don't bring the cam -- don't bring this, just seems like over -- >> what's wrong with that? >> it's wonderful. >> there was a time that we didn't have this. >> you're right. so disconcerting to see someone using an iphone in church. >> i like the idea of people

saying don't post any pictures. that, i'm game with. that's up to the parties to decide. >> it was a funny episode of "veep," though. >> that's right. >> i just want to say, i know you're going to say something about this. if you have children, i'm going to try to help you here, and you do have a child, as a parent, you need to have that handy. i know you said, you know -- i just wanted to say that. okay. i got you. >> thank you. i really appreciate that support. >> someone else supports me here. i think it's a great idea. i have no problems with the bride throwing the stink eye to someone whose phone is going off and saying, really? unless it's a celebrity wedding, i'd rather not be invited whether you dictate whether i bring my personal devices with me. next, do you have to invite your boss to your wedding? if you get along with your boss, you have to extend an invitation, even if you are not

close friends. i say, no. i say save the boss the hassle. >> i agree with you. >> she doesn't want to be invited, she's a loser. >> well -- >> to that point, i was fine with you for once. until that caveat. if you're not friends, i think it does let the boss off the hook. >> and the boss is going to send a gift. >> let's go to the flash poll on this one. do you have to invite your boss to your wedding? 19% said yes. 81% said no. let me go back to social on this. linda says, no. in fact, most cases the boss would rather not be invited so he/she doesn't have to pay, buy a gift or make an excuse not to go. i think it's good etiquette to extend an invitation. >> and if the boss is a loser. >> think about it. the boss really wants to be invited to the wedding? >> what if he happens to like you? >> your friends, that's different. if it's just a professional

relationship -- am i really doing all of this to myself today? >> how about one more? >> on friday, the esteemed "new york times" crossword provided the following clue for a nine-letter word. here's the clue, definitely dawg -- d-a-w-g. the answer they were looking for has purists up in arm. the correct answer was fo shizzle. yes, for real. is it an unfair question when they said dawg as the clue? and the answer was fo shizzle? >> no. snoop dogg, isn't it? >> you're confident about it, right? >> do we have time for the last one? >> please. please. >> quick last topic. ready? tax day is behind us. how about a tax incentive to exercise?

i mean, i think that, you know, we're so inundated with these ideas that women hate one another. and they're competitive. and they have so many examples of that on television, where, you know, there's just women constantly stabbing one another in the back, even when they're supposed to be friends. and this is about three women who are brought together by this weird circumstance of all being involved with the same man. and instead of hating one another and stabbing one another in the back, they put the onus on the man because he was the liar and the cheater. they join forces, basically. they do what women do, which is -- they take care of each other. and they help each other through a hard time. >> yeah. they support one another. >> i couldn't get through hard times in my life without my girlfriends. and that's what these women did. >> and these women, in real life, supported you, you were saying. this is a big role for you. >> yeah. this is my first movie role. and these two supported me every step of the way. they made me feel so safe, from day one. they encouraged me to mess up

and try new things. and they were just amazing examples. >> and she's fearless. i mean, she really -- >> in a bathing suit. >> hers is smaller. >> like, the diaper was really hers. >> i don't even know how mine -- >> well, you know. >> it's funny because when we were filming that scene, you know, when you go to a beach, everyone's wearing bikinis. so, it's pretty normal. but when you're filming a bikini scene, nobody's wearing a bikini. only you. >> and 60 crew members. >> and 60 crew members. and these two saw that i was feeling a little uncomfortable. >> even doing "sports illustrated"? >> that's a small crew. that's only like five people on set. and i worked with them so many times. and it's hot there. everybody's in bikinis. >> yeah. >> but these two came and ran beside me offscreen. and i never had support like that before. and it was so amazing that i got

that on my first film experience. >> that's great to hear. there's a scene that i absolutely love. i was telling you guys. you're stalking -- you're trying to figure out who this third woman is in your man's life. and you're trying to look over a gate. and you fall. and the next thing you know, you have to pretend you're stretching, like you were just on a run. but it's really your legs. that's such comedy. like, yeah. just working out. my legs over here. don't mind me. >> she's so flexible. >> so flexible. >> that would be so hard. of course, you start off with one leg. and leslie takes it to two legs. and everything is -- what do i do? i'm laughing. just trying to be limber. trying to be limber. >> and cracks up. >> it was in the bushes. >> it's good physical comedy. you can take a fall, girl. you do it a few times. >> yeah. it's really fun. the thing that we found with one

another is we have this really funny dynamic where, i have really long legs and a short torso comparatively. and she has a really long torso and longer legs. comparatively, to her torso. she has great gams. we had this funny thing where i'm on stilts like this. and she's really low to the ground, center of gravity. and like, she has eight arms. you don't see them all right now. but she has eight of them. and every time, i'm, like -- >> in the heels. >> and i didn't -- >> i have a feeling this was a fun set. i never want this party to end. so many of our viewers are asking questions. are you okay with social media? >> sure. >> this is from facebook. it's from dina. she wants to know -- wow, i don't know. dina wants to know if you all have been in this situation? >> we have not been in this situation. that's an easy answer.

>> okay. >> not that we know of. >> yeah. some things are better left unsaid. you said last week, you were talking about monogamy. and it's in relation to this film. what did you mean by that? >> well, my character says she doesn't believe in monogamy. and then, somehow, journalists were, so, you don't believe in monogamy. that is my character. my character said that. >> yeah. >> i'm an actor, right? >> exactly. >> she needs to answer that. >> you need to answer that. >> i totally -- >> you do. >> oh. >> i'm just -- >> i'm acting. >> you do that? >> glad we straightened that out. >> monogamy i think is an important part of relationships working. absolutely. >> and so are relationships with women. >> absolutely. >> and in real life and on screen, in "the other woman." it is in theaters everywhere on friday. my girlfriend, ginger zee,

is outside with a final check of the weather. and i'm going to sit here with the girls. >> i couldn't hear you at the end. we're definitely girlfriends. we are no longer boyfriend/girlfriend. but what are your names? >> ashley. >> and shane. >> engaged this week. isn't that beautiful. we love celebrating in times square. let's celebrate some of the photos you sent us. from door county, wisconsin, an ice shelf. it was pushing up on the land there. and down we can see -- thank you so much for lucy's picture. it looks so much like spring. and a very quick check of the dry and hot weather being pushed out. much cooler air. and that is the storm system that's going to bring us severe weather potential for the weekend. we'll be talking about that, as we end this week. but look at the cooler, even good morning. i'm mike nicco. high clouds, sunshine, not as breezy and slightly milder today from 58 at the coast to 70 inland. accuweather seven-day forecast, still a chance of rain thursday night into friday, but the weekend is trending drier and warmer. have a great day.

>> all that weather is brought to you by chevrolet. and we're going inside to social square now because kelly riley, the star of "black box," a new medical thriller on abc here. welcome to "gma." on the new show, katherine black, a neurologist. you study the brain. you figure out the brain. but you have a little secret of your own. >> she does. she's a wonderful brilliant neurologist. but she has something in common with her patients. she has her own personal disorder. she's bipolar. it's the most treatable form of mental illness. and staying on the medication is the problem. when she does, it's a little bit of a rollercoaster ride. >> the show attacks that. but so much more. it's not just about one mental illness. >> not at all.

we really explore a lot of fascinating and bizarre and frightening medical cases, neurological medical cases. she has to figure out, help these patients that we need to know and get inside their head how to live with it. neurological cases aren't always fixable. it's fascinating how one can live with it. >> so many people excited about this. we want to go to the social slot machine. i'm going to get an idea of what people are wondering out there. here we go. we asked them to ask you. what research did you do for the show and your character? >> i did more than i've ever done for any character. i did some four or five months prep. just speaking to -- when you're dealing with something so important as mental illness and bipolar, you start to peel away the onions and the layers. there's so much i didn't know about it. and so, i spoke to many people who suffer with the disorder. and neurologists, et cetera.

i really spoke to a lot of people. and read a lot of books. >> kelly reilly. thank you so much for being here. watch the series premiere of "black box" tomorrow at 10:00, 9:00 central, here on abc. and to see a clip, go to our website, goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! coming up, we've got much more, from "toy story," to "frozen," one of the main men behind disney animation and

pixar and disney animation, ed catmull, has an idea about a creative mind. what do you think stands in the way of true inspiration? >> usually, it's fear. people don't want to mess up. when we start on a film, the first version doesn't work at all. what i mean was, these films were disasters. the trick is, how do we protect the group when something isn't working? >> reporter: his keys to creative success? one, don't make too many rules. two, inspiration can and does come from anywhere. and, three, always have a backup plan. >> come on, guys. let's get our parts together, get ready and go out on a high note. >> reporter: that ended up saving "toy story 2" after someone almost deleted almost the entire film. >> everything disappeared. >> reporter: what saved the day, was an employee, who on

>> i'm so happy it's finally spring. new york had such a cold winter. finally, it's warm. and all of the ingredients are coming up at the same time. >> tell us about the dishes you're going to make here. what's the first one? >> oh. this is roasted lamb. and just one tip for home, when you're at home and you're roasting meat, you want to take it out of the refrigerator maybe half an hour before, so it comes up to room temperature. when you sear it, it browns more evenly. when it's cooked, you want it to rest for as long as you cooked it. >> you let it rest for as long as you cooked it? >> when you cook a steak and you take it out of the pan, and you cut it open, all of the juices run out. >> and it looks delicious. ooh. okay. so, we have this first dish. >> we have lamb. >> and now -- >> we have some roasted beats. when you're at home and you buy

some beats, even the big ones, i love to wrap them in aluminum foil. and add a little sauce, a little sugar, and vinegar. and you cook for a big beat, you cook them for an hour. and it really intensifies the flavor of the beat. >> in aluminum foil. how long? >> a big beat, about 25 minutes. it has a nice kick to it. >> i can't wait. i love beats. i love beats. >> then, here -- here we have asparagus. we wrapped them in parchment paper. we sealed them with butter. they stay moist. >> that's your tip to use the parchment paper like that? lara, will you do the honors of the last one? >> ta-da. >> and apple fritters, one of my

favorite recipes that my mom used to make. but with frying in general, we use canola oil because it has a high smoke point. and there's nothing worse than eating a soggy apple fritter. when you have something fried, you want to eat it right away because you want it to be crispy. there is sugar and cinnamon on here. >> i can smell it. >> you want to do it when it just comes out, so it holds on to the batter. same when you do french fries. you want to add the salt when it comes out of the fryer for the same reason. >> if you're having a dinner party, do you do this after the meal with guests? is it that quick? >> you have everything prepared. the apple slices, the cinnamon sugar and then, it's done in five minutes. >> you know, you help us not to be intimidated. to embrace it and know that

delicious dishes like this, little simple tips make all of the difference. >> absolutely. you know, cooking is -- cooking is so simple. like, the way we do it at the restaurant, we add all of these other things. but it's a simple thing. yeah. >> that's it.
