WEBVTT

00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:04.940

This week on the show, Tog grapples with

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:07.460

the feedback they received for the first hard

00:00:07.460 --> 00:00:10.540

copy edition of their new zine, The Grackleton

00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:11.120

Gazette.

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:25.200

You're with Tog Chesterfield here on 101.7

00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:26.360

FM The Grack.

00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:28.400

I'm trying to pick up the pieces and

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:30.500

fix up my life after I hit rock

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:33.260

bottom, and I'm taking you along as I

00:00:33.260 --> 00:00:35.800

try new things and attempt to embrace life.

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.960

Unlock your life with Tog Chesterfield.

00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:43.000

Welcome to the show.

00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:49.920

Right now it's 5.06pm. Shoot.

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:53.120

I'll be here with you for your commute,

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.480

or while you prepare your dinner, or while

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:00.380

you furtively stare at that patch on your

00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:03.060

carpet that was ruined by your rainbow bridge

00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:03.920

cat, Kevin.

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.420

Oh, seven years ago.

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.900

That you have yet to fix because it

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:11.640

makes you feel more nostalgic than lazy.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.560

I'm your uninvited guest for the evening, or

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.760

I guess invited if you chose to dial

00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:18.620

into the show.

00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:24.560

So, listeners, if you've been in any Grackleton

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.560

shops in the past couple weeks, you've probably

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.440

seen the first full hard copy release of

00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:33.000

The Grackleton Gazette.

00:01:33.020 --> 00:01:37.360

It includes my interviews with Marianne Foote and

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:40.760

Pastel Pumpernickel that you heard on this show.

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.360

And I also wrote a couple community announcements

00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:48.180

and my opinion piece about the rising cost

00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:50.180

of grout at home hardware.

00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:52.520

It was pretty hard-hitting.

00:01:53.100 --> 00:01:56.460

I was so excited to drop off boxes

00:01:56.460 --> 00:01:59.000

of my zines all around town, such as

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.340

at the bulk bins and the Nested Bean

00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:06.700

and Boone's Tackle and Thrift, the Kohl's Bookstore,

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.220

and of course, the Community Center.

00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:12.080

I was really nervous doing it, too, as

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:12.820

you might imagine.

00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:16.380

But I was also so excited to share

00:02:16.380 --> 00:02:19.000

what I'd been working really hard on for

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.480

so long, what I'd been finally committing myself

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:23.440

to doing, too.

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.160

Well, for myself, Tog, but also for all

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:30.500

of you, the people who live and work

00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:31.320

here in Grackleton.

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.780

After I got all the zines out, I

00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:38.740

announced them on my website and Pastel told

00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:42.060

her baking class students and, well, Dan at

00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:42.720

bulk bins.

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:43.620

It was great.

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:45.880

He walked them around the store and handed

00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:47.460

them directly to the customers.

00:02:49.420 --> 00:02:51.240

Here, take a Grackleton Gazette.

00:02:51.420 --> 00:02:53.000

No, no, I'm all right, thanks.

00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:54.560

No, take it in your hand.

00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.080

Oh, oh, okay.

00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:56.460

Thank you.

00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:58.980

Oh, hi, honey.

00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:00.740

Here, take a Grackleton Gazette.

00:03:00.820 --> 00:03:02.300

No, I'm okay.

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:03.180

I don't need one.

00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:03.540

Thanks.

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:05.740

Oh, you're just putting it in my hand,

00:03:05.780 --> 00:03:06.000

okay.

00:03:06.160 --> 00:03:08.160

Here, take a Grackleton Gazette.

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:10.760

What, what, what, what, what is this?

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:12.720

No, you have to take a Grackleton Gazette.

00:03:12.860 --> 00:03:15.160

Oh, well, you're just putting it in my

00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:15.700

cart.

00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:18.220

Here, take a Grackleton Gazette.

00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:20.260

I do not want that.

00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:21.980

I'm just going to put it in your

00:03:21.980 --> 00:03:22.300

basket.

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:29.040

Marianne Foote was great, too.

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:31.260

She did a little feature on her latest

00:03:31.260 --> 00:03:32.900

episode of Mailbox Decor.

00:03:33.380 --> 00:03:36.660

Marianne was my roommate, well, until last night.

00:03:37.160 --> 00:03:39.760

She had to leave because she finished sponge

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:40.660

painting her basement.

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:42.340

It looks great.

00:03:42.660 --> 00:03:45.040

It's dark gray and teal.

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.740

And you wouldn't think it works, but it

00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:48.800

actually does.

00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:49.480

She showed me.

00:03:49.880 --> 00:03:52.280

I also added a thread on the Grackleton's

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.660

subreddit, the one that allows self promos.

00:03:56.140 --> 00:03:58.800

And I just checked the comments on that

00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.800

subreddit, and I checked my email obsessively.

00:04:02.380 --> 00:04:04.900

Well, the subreddit had only got two updates

00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:07.840

and no comments, and my inbox sat at

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.140

zero for days.

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:13.820

And that's kind of how it went for

00:04:13.820 --> 00:04:14.940

that first little bit.

00:04:15.339 --> 00:04:17.740

There was no reaction to my zine from

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:18.899

any source.

00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:22.140

The copies, though, they were disappearing from the

100

00:04:22.140 --> 00:04:23.840

shops in the community center.

101

00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:26.120

I had to refill the box at the

102

00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.460

community center three times.

103

00:04:28.780 --> 00:04:31.600

Boons at the tackle shop told me that

104

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.560

some people were returning to pick one up

105

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:34.380

for their friends.

106

00:04:34.940 --> 00:04:37.100

But at first there was nothing.

107

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.660

A giant gaping void, and that hurt.

108

00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:43.660

Listener, it hurt a lot.

109

00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:46.000

All that hard work for nothing?

110

00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:49.420

At that point, I thought even hate mail

111

00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:50.820

would be better than the void.

112

00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:55.220

But then suddenly, the feedback started.

113

00:04:56.060 --> 00:05:00.440

And it was truly Grackleton in Grackleton's truest

114

00:05:00.440 --> 00:05:01.020

form.

115

00:05:01.780 --> 00:05:03.300

But first, a break.

116

00:05:03.880 --> 00:05:06.120

This is Un-Fuck Your Life with Todd

117

00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:06.900

Chesterfield.

118

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:07.820

That's me.

119

00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:09.740

We'll be back after this.

120

00:05:10.940 --> 00:05:13.700

Un-Fuck Your Life with Todd Chesterfield.

121

00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:22.450

Back to the show.

122

00:05:23.170 --> 00:05:26.630

So, the feedback for the Grackleton Gazette started

123

00:05:26.630 --> 00:05:27.470

trickling in.

124

00:05:28.010 --> 00:05:30.130

And then, it became a flood.

125

00:05:30.830 --> 00:05:33.930

It arrived in my inbox, and comments on

126

00:05:33.930 --> 00:05:35.630

Reddit and social media.

127

00:05:35.990 --> 00:05:38.010

Some people called me at my house.

128

00:05:38.410 --> 00:05:40.810

I got handwritten letters, too.

129

00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:43.130

And I had notes left in the windshield

130

00:05:43.130 --> 00:05:44.630

wipers of my Transit Connect.

131

00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:47.310

I had the side painted with the Grackleton

132

00:05:47.310 --> 00:05:48.110

Gazette's logo.

133

00:05:48.730 --> 00:05:51.790

I got some positive and some motivating comments.

134

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:29.820

Well, it seems so, anyway.

135

00:06:31.910 --> 00:06:34.470

I'll email you my phone number to call

136

00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:35.070

me back.

137

00:06:35.450 --> 00:06:38.610

Look, it'll be after I hang up the

138

00:06:38.610 --> 00:06:39.450

phone here.

139

00:06:40.730 --> 00:06:43.890

The email will come in about...

140

00:06:43.890 --> 00:06:44.970

Well, let's see.

141

00:06:45.090 --> 00:06:47.450

It'll take me about four minutes to get

142

00:06:47.450 --> 00:06:50.250

to my computer from here at the desk.

143

00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:52.250

At my phone desk.

144

00:06:52.570 --> 00:06:55.730

And then I'll boot up Netscape Navigator, which

145

00:06:55.730 --> 00:06:58.710

has my email inside of it.

146

00:06:58.870 --> 00:07:02.450

That's where I have your email address.

147

00:07:03.130 --> 00:07:04.150

So, yeah.

148

00:07:04.290 --> 00:07:06.670

I'll email it to you in about seven

149

00:07:06.670 --> 00:07:08.630

minutes, give or take.

150

00:07:08.910 --> 00:07:10.990

I was so excited to hear that people

151

00:07:10.990 --> 00:07:11.570

liked it.

152

00:07:12.250 --> 00:07:16.330

But, then I started getting some interesting takes

153

00:07:16.330 --> 00:07:17.210

from the community.

154

00:07:20.130 --> 00:07:20.810

Hi.

155

00:07:27.070 --> 00:07:30.250

Why wasn't the thick raven beak part mentioned

156

00:07:30.250 --> 00:07:32.830

in the Marianne interview location description?

157

00:07:33.790 --> 00:07:35.430

Accuracy matters.

158

00:07:36.030 --> 00:07:37.270

Hi, Tog.

159

00:07:37.370 --> 00:07:39.290

This is Dan from Bulk Bins.

160

00:07:39.750 --> 00:07:42.850

Pastel mentioned RPFs in your interview.

161

00:07:43.670 --> 00:07:47.750

My cousin calls them RFCs, which stands for

162

00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:49.270

Red Flake Chilies.

163

00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:52.390

Maybe do a poll so you say what

164

00:07:52.390 --> 00:07:55.170

terminology most people utilize as part of their

165

00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:56.290

everyday vernacular.

166

00:07:56.950 --> 00:07:58.390

Anyways, bye, Tog.

167

00:07:58.490 --> 00:08:00.570

See you on your next shopping journey.

168

00:08:01.110 --> 00:08:03.550

And along with the interesting takes, I got

169

00:08:03.550 --> 00:08:04.970

some pretty hot takes, too.

170

00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:18.380

...has real issues, like the upcoming vote about

171

00:08:18.380 --> 00:08:20.700

the portables behind the community center.

172

00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:24.280

...looks unprofessional.

173

00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:27.520

I mean, it's okay, but it's no Grackleton

174

00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:28.500

Weekly Chronicle.

175

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.120

Where's the hard-hitting news about the water

176

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:32.240

main break on 3rd?

177

00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:34.919

The Weekly Chronicle was so valuable.

178

00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:39.780

...and this next one?

179

00:08:40.280 --> 00:08:42.179

This next one hurt the most.

180

00:08:42.640 --> 00:08:44.960

It came as a letter to my townhouse.

181

00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:49.560

It read, This just feels like Tog trying

182

00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:52.260

too hard to be relevant again after the

183

00:08:52.260 --> 00:08:54.720

apocalypse dot cloud potato thing.

184

00:08:55.700 --> 00:08:59.160

At that point, listener, I put my laptop

185

00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:03.880

in the Oh, it's time for the weather.

186

00:09:10.930 --> 00:09:13.930

Tonight's weather for your drive at 5 with

187

00:09:13.930 --> 00:09:16.750

Unfuck Your Life is brought to you by

188

00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:21.730

Deep Dive Reef and Snorkels, your source for

189

00:09:21.730 --> 00:09:23.310

the latest snorkeling gear.

190

00:09:23.970 --> 00:09:25.670

But we're still landlocked.

191

00:09:27.270 --> 00:09:31.990

Tonight, Grackleton is expecting an abundance of moderate

192

00:09:31.990 --> 00:09:34.430

cloud cover over Grackleton East.

193

00:09:36.090 --> 00:09:38.790

And that's it for the weather on your

194

00:09:38.790 --> 00:09:42.570

drive at 5 from Deep Dive Reef and

195

00:09:42.570 --> 00:09:43.490

Snorkels.

196

00:09:44.010 --> 00:09:46.350

Our grand opening is this Saturday at 2

197

00:09:46.350 --> 00:09:48.470

.30 p.m. Join us for 5%

198

00:09:48.470 --> 00:09:52.190

off all purge valves until 4 p.m.

199

00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:02.260

The feedback about my first issue of the

200

00:10:02.260 --> 00:10:04.680

Grackleton Gazette started living in my head.

201

00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:09.300

Just like the well, just like the potatoes

202

00:10:09.300 --> 00:10:12.160

from the potato incident, the way that they

203

00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:13.480

still do, really.

204

00:10:14.260 --> 00:10:17.380

My identity was still tied to what I

205

00:10:17.380 --> 00:10:21.020

did and either losing that or having it

206

00:10:21.020 --> 00:10:25.460

criticized, it makes me want to hide, to

207

00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:27.340

sit on the floor of my bedroom in

208

00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:27.740

the dark.

209

00:10:28.900 --> 00:10:31.780

I didn't realize that I was so sensitive

210

00:10:31.780 --> 00:10:33.020

to feedback still.

211

00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:37.220

How it hit my core identity, that my

212

00:10:37.220 --> 00:10:39.840

identity was still tied tightly to my creative

213

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.160

output and productivity.

214

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:44.060

I thought that I had moved on.

215

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.480

I thought I was moving on, away from

216

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:48.740

rock bottom by now.

217

00:10:50.970 --> 00:10:54.590

And if I didn't address it right away,

218

00:10:54.870 --> 00:10:57.210

I might end up back there again.

219

00:10:58.750 --> 00:11:01.790

Because sitting on my bedroom floor with my

220

00:11:01.790 --> 00:11:05.970

favorite comfort potato it sure felt like I

221

00:11:05.970 --> 00:11:08.610

was back there again right after everything happened

222

00:11:08.610 --> 00:11:09.710

and I was laid off.

223

00:11:11.030 --> 00:11:13.530

And I was probably at real risk of

224

00:11:13.530 --> 00:11:15.710

abandoning the Gazette entirely.

225

00:11:16.670 --> 00:11:19.170

See it as like some other failure of

226

00:11:19.170 --> 00:11:19.570

mine.

227

00:11:19.990 --> 00:11:23.970

Just as I was getting started, I turned

228

00:11:23.970 --> 00:11:27.110

the Gazette into the next thing to quit

229

00:11:27.790 --> 00:11:28.370

again.

230

00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:32.490

So I realized then and there on the

231

00:11:32.490 --> 00:11:35.190

floor in the dark, I would try to

232

00:11:35.190 --> 00:11:37.810

process this criticism constructively.

233

00:11:38.750 --> 00:11:42.070

To sort between the helpful things people said,

234

00:11:42.650 --> 00:11:48.470

the personal attacks well, criticism, their irrelevant takes,

235

00:11:49.150 --> 00:11:52.430

and just what was, well just somebody's subjective

236

00:11:52.430 --> 00:11:53.130

taste.

237

00:11:53.650 --> 00:11:55.770

It wasn't relevant to me.

238

00:11:56.350 --> 00:11:58.110

Tog, well none of it was.

239

00:11:59.590 --> 00:12:04.310

Listener, putting creative work out there just invites

240

00:12:04.310 --> 00:12:07.390

these kinds of opinions and takes and reception.

241

00:12:08.510 --> 00:12:12.690

And the human I am, Tog, isn't attached

242

00:12:12.690 --> 00:12:13.870

to that feedback.

243

00:12:14.950 --> 00:12:16.530

And universal approval?

244

00:12:17.230 --> 00:12:20.570

I mean, I'll never get it anyway on

245

00:12:20.570 --> 00:12:24.510

anything creative when we don't get universal approval

246

00:12:24.510 --> 00:12:26.250

for anything in this world.

247

00:12:27.590 --> 00:12:31.530

And being this hard on myself, it wasn't

248

00:12:31.530 --> 00:12:34.510

fair to myself, to Tog.

249

00:12:35.430 --> 00:12:38.710

So just like I wrote an apology letter

250

00:12:38.710 --> 00:12:40.870

near the beginning of my journey off of

251

00:12:40.870 --> 00:12:44.590

Rock Bottom, to Louis Pepperoni of the HOA,

252

00:12:44.750 --> 00:12:48.390

and to the Super Appreciation Club, the letters

253

00:12:48.390 --> 00:12:51.270

that I shared with you on this show,

254

00:12:51.750 --> 00:12:55.370

I wrote an apology letter to myself, to

255

00:12:55.370 --> 00:12:55.790

Tog.

256

00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.360

Dear Tog, hi.

257

00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:05.620

I'm very sorry about being so harsh in

258

00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:08.320

your head about the work you're doing on

259

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.540

the Grackleton Gazette.

260

00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:11.340

You're new at this.

261

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:13.380

Give yourself a chance.

262

00:13:14.380 --> 00:13:15.820

Tog, Chesterfield.

263

00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:25.140

So the Gazette, the first hard copy edition,

264

00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:28.000

even if it wasn't perfect or even as

265

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.520

good as I thought it might be, that

266

00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:31.400

didn't matter.

267

00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:35.380

And it made me stronger doing it.

268

00:13:36.420 --> 00:13:38.520

So I got up off the floor.

269

00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:40.800

I put a note on the fridge that

270

00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:42.940

said, Feedback is for the Gazette.

271

00:13:43.140 --> 00:13:44.520

It's not for Tog.

272

00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:45.280

Tog!

273

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:47.980

Gazette.

274

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.200

That means Tog is not the Gazette.

275

00:13:51.380 --> 00:13:52.780

It's like programming speak.

276

00:13:52.900 --> 00:13:55.940

I learned that at apocalypse.cloud. I also

277

00:13:55.940 --> 00:13:58.380

wrote a second post-it note about why

278

00:13:58.380 --> 00:13:59.420

I started the Gazette.

279

00:13:59.700 --> 00:14:02.440

I wrote goals and under that I wrote

280

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.320

to connect this quirky community.

281

00:14:04.760 --> 00:14:07.160

I wrote it just in case something made

282

00:14:07.160 --> 00:14:08.640

me forget so I could look at that

283

00:14:08.640 --> 00:14:08.960

too.

284

00:14:09.260 --> 00:14:12.000

I sorted through the useful feedback, the stuff

285

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.200

I could think about, and the irrelevant complaints

286

00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.200

that I could just throw into the garbage.

287

00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:21.160

But I did run that poll about RPFs

288

00:14:21.160 --> 00:14:24.280

versus RFCs because I just wanted to know

289

00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:26.800

what terminology most people used and if I

290

00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:29.180

should switch for science.

291

00:14:30.280 --> 00:14:33.400

Oh, I have a caller here on line

292

00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:33.660

one.

293

00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.520

My first caller to the show.

294

00:14:37.060 --> 00:14:39.080

Hi, caller.

295

00:14:39.420 --> 00:14:40.380

You're on the show.

296

00:14:40.520 --> 00:14:43.060

This is Un-Fuck Your Life with Tog

297

00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:43.580

Chesterfield.

298

00:14:44.140 --> 00:14:44.900

Hey, Tog.

299

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.420

It's your roommate.

300

00:14:47.060 --> 00:14:47.520

Parker.

301

00:14:47.660 --> 00:14:48.260

Parker Spoon.

302

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.360

Oh, Parker.

303

00:14:50.700 --> 00:14:53.500

Oh, you're calling the show.

304

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:56.620

Yeah, I'm in the apartment, but I didn't

305

00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:58.720

want to bother you because I know that

306

00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:00.380

you're in your studio right now.

307

00:15:00.540 --> 00:15:03.600

Oh, so you're right in.

308

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:04.620

You're still at home.

309

00:15:05.680 --> 00:15:08.760

Wow, most of my roommates just walk right

310

00:15:08.760 --> 00:15:09.080

in.

311

00:15:10.420 --> 00:15:12.240

No, you're doing a regular show.

312

00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:13.680

This has got to be a big deal.

313

00:15:14.160 --> 00:15:14.820

Oh, wow.

314

00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:19.640

Well, anyways, welcome to the show and welcome

315

00:15:19.640 --> 00:15:21.540

to the house.

316

00:15:21.540 --> 00:15:22.940

I'm glad that you moved in.

317

00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:25.620

Can I be calling in on this?

318

00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:26.120

Is this bad?

319

00:15:26.340 --> 00:15:27.340

No, that's fine.

320

00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:32.080

I saw the number written by the SodaStream

321

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:33.880

and I didn't know if it was okay

322

00:15:33.880 --> 00:15:34.640

to call.

323

00:15:35.020 --> 00:15:36.880

Oh, no, it's perfectly fine.

324

00:15:37.640 --> 00:15:39.300

Can I use the SodaStream?

325

00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:42.660

Yeah, you can use the SodaStream and did

326

00:15:42.660 --> 00:15:45.420

you get my note about the fridge?

327

00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:47.440

Yeah, I'm sorry.

328

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:51.120

I don't want to pry, but there's a

329

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.020

lot of potatoes.

330

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:53.500

Oh, yeah.

331

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:54.260

A lot.

332

00:15:56.500 --> 00:16:01.320

Just don't touch the potatoes, but you can

333

00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.780

have half the fridge, whatever half you want,

334

00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:05.020

wherever you want to put your stuff.

335

00:16:05.520 --> 00:16:07.720

Do you need any help with the potatoes?

336

00:16:08.520 --> 00:16:11.500

I can come after I finish broadcasting and

337

00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:13.880

just move the potatoes for you.

338

00:16:14.380 --> 00:16:15.040

Oh, okay.

339

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.800

I only have a couple things of smoothies

340

00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:18.740

to put in the fridge.

341

00:16:19.160 --> 00:16:20.820

Oh, you're a smoothie person.

342

00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:21.960

I'm trying to be better.

343

00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:24.580

Yeah, they're pretty healthy, aren't they?

344

00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:30.040

Yeah, I got to stay healthy for my

345

00:16:30.560 --> 00:16:31.320

kitty cat.

346

00:16:32.260 --> 00:16:33.560

Oh, you have a cat?

347

00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:34.660

Yeah.

348

00:16:34.760 --> 00:16:35.300

Oh, I'm sorry.

349

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.340

I thought I told you about Scott.

350

00:16:36.680 --> 00:16:40.640

Yeah, Scott's moving.

351

00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:43.080

Unless you don't like cats.

352

00:16:43.420 --> 00:16:44.920

No, I love cats.

353

00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:46.340

I used to have a cat named Kevin.

354

00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:48.160

Oh, my gosh.

355

00:16:48.380 --> 00:16:49.060

Kevin and Scott.

356

00:16:50.380 --> 00:16:53.680

Kevin's a Rainbow Bridge cat now, but I

357

00:16:53.680 --> 00:16:54.620

love cats.

358

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:57.080

I'm so excited that Scott's coming to live

359

00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:57.460

here, too.

360

00:16:58.460 --> 00:17:03.920

Scott's a handful, but it's always been me

361

00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:04.400

and Scott.

362

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.480

Oh, the best cats are a handful.

363

00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.900

Kevin was a handful, too.

364

00:17:09.540 --> 00:17:10.400

Can I ask you a question?

365

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:14.880

I noticed there was a towel that said

366

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:15.780

PS on it.

367

00:17:16.520 --> 00:17:17.839

Oh, you got the towels.

368

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.660

That's for you.

369

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.220

I always do monogrammed towels for my roommates

370

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:23.579

when they move in to make them feel

371

00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:23.679

welcome.

372

00:17:23.679 --> 00:17:24.040

Oh, my gosh.

373

00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:25.460

That's so nice of you.

374

00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:27.740

Can I ask you a weird question?

375

00:17:28.040 --> 00:17:28.580

Of course.

376

00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:31.540

Is that a Camino stitch that you did

377

00:17:31.540 --> 00:17:32.340

the monogram with?

378

00:17:32.340 --> 00:17:33.740

Yes, it is.

379

00:17:33.800 --> 00:17:35.460

I just learned how to do that from

380

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:37.140

Marianne, my last roommate.

381

00:17:37.520 --> 00:17:42.500

My mom, Melinda, was the head seamstress at

382

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:43.840

the Crackleton Shirt Factory.

383

00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:45.540

That's incredible.

384

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:47.520

I got all my shirts from there.

385

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:51.060

It's amazing because when I was a kid,

386

00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:53.860

I used to walk around and I used

387

00:17:53.860 --> 00:17:55.660

to see her do the Camino stitch all

388

00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:56.300

the time.

389

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:56.940

Wow.

390

00:17:58.300 --> 00:18:01.200

Maybe that's where Marianne learned how to do

391

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:01.620

it.

392

00:18:02.040 --> 00:18:03.540

Oh, that place is magical.

393

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.040

She used to let me walk all through

394

00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:06.900

the different t-shirts, all the different colors.

395

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.220

It was like the Lion, the Witch, and

396

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:13.300

the Wardrobe, except instead of emerging in Narnia,

397

00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:15.100

you walked right into a chemical bath.

398

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:18.600

Oh, that sounds kind of painful, actually.

399

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.120

Hey, the scars heal.

400

00:18:20.520 --> 00:18:21.240

Yeah, they do.

401

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:22.260

They do, don't they?

402

00:18:23.460 --> 00:18:24.660

I gotta go.

403

00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:28.100

Headlight News is on.

404

00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:30.020

Oh, I love watching that.

405

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.240

I'll come join you after I'm finished broadcasting

406

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:33.740

the show.

407

00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:34.140

Okay.

408

00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.040

Bye.

409

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:36.000

Bye, Parker.

410

00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.320
