00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:05.140

This week on the show, things got a

00:00:05.140 --> 00:00:07.980

little bit complicated for Tog Chesterfield with a

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:11.580

flock of Junkos, all because of vegan jerky.

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.320

You're with Tog Chesterfield on 101.7 FM

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:21.880

The Grack.

00:00:22.380 --> 00:00:24.180

I'm trying to pick up the pieces and

00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:26.400

fix up my life after I hit rock

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:28.780

bottom, and I'm taking you along as I

00:00:28.780 --> 00:00:31.659

try new things and attempt to embrace life.

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:35.960

I'm Fuck Your Life with Tog Chesterfield.

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:37.500

Welcome to the show.

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.160

Right now it's 5.02 PM.

00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:44.160

I'll be with you here for your commute,

00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:48.800

or while you prepare your dinner, or while

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:52.020

you wait to pick up your kid around

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:54.680

the corner from their best friend's house because

00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:57.660

they're kind of embarrassed by your vehicle.

00:00:58.260 --> 00:01:02.320

I'm your uninvited guest for the evening, or

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.480

invited if you chose to dial in to

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.400

101.7 FM, I guess.

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.340

So tonight I'll be letting all of you

00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:12.680

in on a little debacle I had with

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.440

my latest foray into solopreneurship after I lost

00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:16.920

my job.

00:01:17.660 --> 00:01:20.020

I'm still making food in this one, but

00:01:20.020 --> 00:01:22.740

this time I'm making vegan jerky.

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.120

But that debacle ended up getting myself a

00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.240

new roommate, so it wasn't so bad in

00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:29.640

the end.

00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:31.860

But how did it all start?

00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:38.780

Well, I've been going to bulk bins to

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:42.140

save money on food, but my dinners had

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:44.480

been getting a little bit boring, as I

00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.580

let you know about in an earlier show.

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:49.020

So I was there looking at some of

00:01:49.020 --> 00:01:51.280

the vegan jerky they had at bulk bins,

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:54.500

but it was pretty expensive because it was

00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:56.500

all surprisingly artisanal.

00:01:56.980 --> 00:02:00.280

Is it artisanal?

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:01.760

Yeah, artisanal.

00:02:04.330 --> 00:02:06.670

Hey Dan, I'm wondering if we could maybe

00:02:06.670 --> 00:02:11.070

make a deal on this artichoke dandelion vegan

00:02:11.070 --> 00:02:11.390

jerky?

00:02:11.810 --> 00:02:14.110

If I maybe bought a lot of it,

00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:16.370

or if I did a bin wipe down

00:02:16.370 --> 00:02:16.910

or something?

00:02:17.350 --> 00:02:19.970

Yeah, no bartering on the artichoke dandelion jerky.

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:26.430

How about some of the lavender gooseberry nutritional

00:02:26.430 --> 00:02:27.590

yeast vegan jerky?

00:02:28.230 --> 00:02:29.170

Or a wipe down?

00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:32.530

Yeah, no bartering on the lavender gooseberry nutritional

00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:33.270

yeast jerky.

00:02:34.750 --> 00:02:38.350

The, uh, sunchoke ginger and cardamom jerky?

00:02:39.010 --> 00:02:40.270

Or a wipe down?

00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:42.650

Yeah, no bartering on the sunchoke ginger and

00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:43.510

cardamom jerky.

00:02:45.110 --> 00:02:48.390

It turns out that every flavor, and there

00:02:48.390 --> 00:02:50.450

were 15 of them, I asked about all

00:02:50.450 --> 00:02:53.830

of them, they were all already at cost.

00:02:54.310 --> 00:02:57.950

So there was no bartering, and I didn't

00:02:57.950 --> 00:02:59.470

get to do a wipe down of the

00:02:59.470 --> 00:03:00.130

bins either.

00:03:00.850 --> 00:03:03.670

And Dan ended up putting up a sign

00:03:03.670 --> 00:03:06.390

that week since I wasn't the first one

00:03:06.390 --> 00:03:08.490

to try bartering at bulk bins for jerky.

00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:11.210

And some guy came in with a chamois

00:03:11.210 --> 00:03:13.310

every Wednesday to have a go at the

00:03:13.310 --> 00:03:16.290

bins in aisle three without asking at all.

00:03:17.030 --> 00:03:19.950

I didn't realize I'd walked into something kind

00:03:19.950 --> 00:03:22.370

of weird, and I was, well, now I

00:03:22.370 --> 00:03:23.710

was part of the problem too.

00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:27.110

But I looked at the ingredients label, and

00:03:27.110 --> 00:03:29.210

it was all things I could get there

00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:31.690

at bulk bins, and I thought, well, why

00:03:31.690 --> 00:03:33.650

don't I try making this myself?

00:03:34.190 --> 00:03:37.030

Especially now that my sourdough incident was becoming

00:03:37.030 --> 00:03:37.710

old news.

00:03:38.490 --> 00:03:41.070

I really wanted to be, you know, so

00:03:41.070 --> 00:03:44.270

creative as people do on the internet and

00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:45.830

give it my own spin.

00:03:46.230 --> 00:03:47.950

But I had learned my lesson on that

00:03:47.950 --> 00:03:51.330

with the sourdough, so I decided this time

00:03:51.330 --> 00:03:55.990

to be cautiously creative because I'm, well, I

00:03:55.990 --> 00:04:00.110

believe that being creative, it would really help

00:04:00.110 --> 00:04:02.810

with the depression that had set in once

00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:03.910

I hit rock bottom.

00:04:06.010 --> 00:04:09.250

I think that being creative can kind of

00:04:09.250 --> 00:04:11.870

be helpful if you're depressed.

00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:15.170

There isn't a whole lot of conclusive evidence

00:04:15.170 --> 00:04:18.089

that being depressed as a human makes you

00:04:18.089 --> 00:04:18.810

more creative.

00:04:19.029 --> 00:04:20.810

I mean, I looked because I was hoping

00:04:20.810 --> 00:04:22.070

maybe that would be true.

00:04:22.670 --> 00:04:25.670

But every time I, I try to be

00:04:25.670 --> 00:04:28.290

creative, the main thing is, is it makes

00:04:28.290 --> 00:04:31.490

me feel kind of like doing something new

00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:34.730

with my hands and using my, you know,

00:04:35.270 --> 00:04:37.030

kind of damaged mind.

00:04:37.210 --> 00:04:39.670

It made me feel a bit better.

100

00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:43.070

It's like I could communicate with others without

101

00:04:43.070 --> 00:04:45.430

needing to think of the proper words to

102

00:04:45.430 --> 00:04:47.830

use when I wasn't feeling well.

103

00:04:48.350 --> 00:04:50.690

I didn't have to rely on my non

104

00:04:50.690 --> 00:04:54.270

-dependable mind to talk to other people, but

105

00:04:54.270 --> 00:04:56.350

I could still connect with people through the

106

00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:57.470

thing that I'd made.

107

00:04:58.070 --> 00:04:59.830

And that's kind of neat.

108

00:05:00.530 --> 00:05:03.130

Something I wanted to try again to get

109

00:05:03.130 --> 00:05:05.030

myself out of rock bottom.

110

00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:08.170

So, so I set out to make my

111

00:05:08.170 --> 00:05:11.010

own TOG version of vegan jerky.

112

00:05:11.690 --> 00:05:14.290

But first, let's take a quick break.

113

00:05:14.930 --> 00:05:18.950

I'm Tog Chesterfield here on 101.7 The

114

00:05:18.950 --> 00:05:21.250

Grack, and this is Un-Fuck Your Life

115

00:05:21.250 --> 00:05:23.130

with, well, Tog Chesterfield.

116

00:05:24.270 --> 00:05:27.010

Un-Fuck Your Life with Tog Chesterfield.

117

00:05:32.650 --> 00:05:33.790

Back to the show.

118

00:05:34.590 --> 00:05:37.510

So I figured out a fantastic recipe that

119

00:05:37.510 --> 00:05:40.810

I could make on my own and in

120

00:05:40.810 --> 00:05:41.830

my oven.

121

00:05:42.170 --> 00:05:45.090

And it didn't stink up anything while it

122

00:05:45.090 --> 00:05:46.570

was dehydrated in there.

123

00:05:47.010 --> 00:05:49.150

I used king oyster mushrooms.

124

00:05:49.390 --> 00:05:51.730

I used some vital wheat gluten.

125

00:05:52.270 --> 00:05:54.450

I used nutritional yeast, of course.

126

00:05:55.030 --> 00:05:58.430

I used sunflower seeds and, oh, just a

127

00:05:58.430 --> 00:06:01.450

bunch of good spices, including that cardamom.

128

00:06:01.910 --> 00:06:03.670

I liked the sound of that idea from

129

00:06:03.670 --> 00:06:04.250

bulk bins.

130

00:06:05.010 --> 00:06:07.690

But I needed a big old dehydrator to

131

00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:10.290

make it into my new job because, you

132

00:06:10.290 --> 00:06:11.590

know, you gotta make a lot of it

133

00:06:11.590 --> 00:06:13.670

if you're gonna, you know, do it as

134

00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:14.210

a business.

135

00:06:14.850 --> 00:06:16.930

And since I didn't have much of my

136

00:06:16.930 --> 00:06:19.650

own money anymore, it got mostly dried up

137

00:06:19.650 --> 00:06:21.970

again after the sourdough incident I told you

138

00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:22.850

about last week.

139

00:06:22.850 --> 00:06:25.750

I went to the Grackleton Classifieds online and

140

00:06:25.750 --> 00:06:27.190

looked up dehydrators there.

141

00:06:27.710 --> 00:06:29.410

And lo and behold, I found one that

142

00:06:29.410 --> 00:06:31.910

looked like somebody had made it themselves with

143

00:06:31.910 --> 00:06:34.170

their own hands and they were giving it

144

00:06:34.170 --> 00:06:35.090

away for free.

145

00:06:35.650 --> 00:06:37.210

I just had to move it myself.

146

00:06:38.010 --> 00:06:41.010

Luckily, I still had my Ford Transit van

147

00:06:41.010 --> 00:06:42.890

with enough gas to make it to the

148

00:06:42.890 --> 00:06:43.830

seller's house and back.

149

00:06:44.570 --> 00:06:47.250

Actually, that seller is now my latest roommate,

150

00:06:47.450 --> 00:06:48.010

Joe Roost.

151

00:06:48.510 --> 00:06:50.490

You might remember Eaton from the last show.

152

00:06:50.490 --> 00:06:52.930

Well, they discovered that they were allergic to

153

00:06:52.930 --> 00:06:54.550

potato skin and had to move out.

154

00:06:55.010 --> 00:06:56.970

I just have too much of it in

155

00:06:56.970 --> 00:06:57.790

this place, I guess.

156

00:06:57.990 --> 00:06:59.990

But now Joe has taken over my old

157

00:06:59.990 --> 00:07:00.370

office.

158

00:07:00.590 --> 00:07:01.830

And Joe's really nice.

159

00:07:02.250 --> 00:07:04.070

And they showed me how to use the

160

00:07:04.070 --> 00:07:05.730

dehydrator and set it up in the kitchen

161

00:07:05.730 --> 00:07:06.030

too.

162

00:07:07.030 --> 00:07:09.730

I made some test batches and I started

163

00:07:09.730 --> 00:07:12.570

selling them at bulk bins and a coffee

164

00:07:12.570 --> 00:07:13.330

shop nearby.

165

00:07:13.690 --> 00:07:15.570

And people really seemed to like them.

166

00:07:15.870 --> 00:07:17.530

And I got reorders within the week.

167

00:07:17.610 --> 00:07:19.810

So I, you know, started making it for

168

00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:20.130

real.

169

00:07:20.490 --> 00:07:24.290

But things, well, things quickly went downhill.

170

00:07:26.730 --> 00:07:28.650

You see, I was storing the big bags

171

00:07:28.650 --> 00:07:31.390

of sunflower seeds on my balcony, next to

172

00:07:31.390 --> 00:07:33.150

the scarecrow, Burl Booch.

173

00:07:33.830 --> 00:07:38.330

But you see, birds are smart, especially the

174

00:07:38.330 --> 00:07:39.070

local juncos.

175

00:07:39.670 --> 00:07:41.390

And they, the juncos, and a few other

176

00:07:41.390 --> 00:07:44.370

types of birds, including grackles, of course, they,

177

00:07:44.490 --> 00:07:46.110

well, they all flocked to the balcony.

178

00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:48.190

They told each other and more came and

179

00:07:48.190 --> 00:07:48.810

more came.

180

00:07:48.890 --> 00:07:50.810

And all of them got into the sacks

181

00:07:50.810 --> 00:07:51.610

of seeds there.

182

00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:54.470

They flew right around Burl.

183

00:07:54.890 --> 00:07:57.170

Burl didn't work as a scarecrow at all.

184

00:07:57.710 --> 00:08:00.090

And they ate every single sack I had

185

00:08:00.090 --> 00:08:00.550

out there.

186

00:08:01.890 --> 00:08:04.370

And you see, well, the problem was the

187

00:08:04.370 --> 00:08:06.390

HOA president, Lewis Pepperoni.

188

00:08:07.170 --> 00:08:10.870

Lewis parks his custom painted 1989 Toyota Supra,

189

00:08:11.070 --> 00:08:12.670

the same kind of car as the mayor,

190

00:08:12.770 --> 00:08:14.970

because they're part of some super appreciation club.

191

00:08:15.510 --> 00:08:17.950

Well, he parks it outside my townhouse.

192

00:08:18.450 --> 00:08:20.910

The birds, well, they got his Supra real

193

00:08:20.910 --> 00:08:22.010

good with their poop.

194

00:08:23.070 --> 00:08:24.770

So I ended up needing to write another

195

00:08:24.770 --> 00:08:26.170

apology letter to Lewis.

196

00:08:27.750 --> 00:08:32.370

Dear Lewis Pepperoni, I'm sorry I attracted the

197

00:08:32.370 --> 00:08:35.370

junco birds who defecated upon your Toyota Supra's

198

00:08:35.370 --> 00:08:36.370

custom paint job.

199

00:08:36.890 --> 00:08:38.309

The car was very nice.

200

00:08:38.950 --> 00:08:41.010

As is your dog, Pepperoni.

201

00:08:41.730 --> 00:08:42.970

Tog Chesterfield.

202

00:08:44.610 --> 00:08:47.050

I also had to write an apology letter

203

00:08:47.050 --> 00:08:49.150

to the Supra Appreciation Club.

204

00:08:49.330 --> 00:08:52.270

And read it at their annual summer picnic

205

00:08:52.270 --> 00:08:52.870

gathering.

206

00:08:56.030 --> 00:08:58.870

Yeah, now we have a quick statement from

207

00:08:58.870 --> 00:09:02.230

Tog Chesterfield, who joins our gathering in their...

208

00:09:03.010 --> 00:09:04.050

What the...

209

00:09:04.050 --> 00:09:05.510

What the hell is that thing?

210

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.960

Their 2009 Ford Transit Connect.

211

00:09:13.780 --> 00:09:14.720

Okay, Tog.

212

00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:17.460

Thank you.

213

00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:23.200

Dear East Grackleton Chapter of the Toyota Supra

214

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.620

Appreciation Club, Thank you for having me here

215

00:09:26.620 --> 00:09:27.000

today.

216

00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:31.620

I want to apologize to the Supra enthusiasts

217

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:35.120

about the increase in the local junco population

218

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.060

due to my improper...

219

00:09:37.060 --> 00:09:37.920

And uncouth!

220

00:09:38.420 --> 00:09:42.840

Sure, uncouth storage of sunflower seeds on my

221

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:43.300

balcony.

222

00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:45.760

Supras are very nice.

223

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:47.600

Tog Chesterfield.

224

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:50.640

The Appreciation Club voted to disallow my new

225

00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:53.300

vegan jerky to be sold within Grackleton town

226

00:09:53.300 --> 00:09:56.240

limits in the best interest of the local

227

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.220

Supra owners.

228

00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:01.120

And that made it into, you know, Grackleton

229

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.500

town law because the mayor is part of

230

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:03.900

the club.

231

00:10:04.380 --> 00:10:06.280

Oh, it's time for the weather.

232

00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:15.980

Tonight's weather for your drive at five with

233

00:10:15.980 --> 00:10:17.600

Unfuck Your Life is brought to you by

234

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.900

Cora's Cup Coasters, the home of the most

235

00:10:19.900 --> 00:10:22.840

decorative and custom coasters for your favorite hot

236

00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.720

or cold beverages in Grackleton.

237

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.380

Get ready for the weather.

238

00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.140

Tonight, Grackleton is expecting a high pressure system

239

00:10:30.140 --> 00:10:32.940

to arrive tonight, bringing with it abundantly cool

240

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:33.740

and dry air.

241

00:10:34.640 --> 00:10:36.420

This means it's time for you to grab

242

00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:38.540

your chapstick and hydrate those lips of yours.

243

00:10:38.780 --> 00:10:40.940

You just learned all about the weather.

244

00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:43.340

And that's it for the weather on your

245

00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:45.060

drive at five from Cora's Coasters.

246

00:10:45.060 --> 00:10:48.660

Considering call- consider calling Cora's Coasters for

247

00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:50.960

your next custom coast- wait.

248

00:10:51.780 --> 00:10:54.620

Consider calling Cora's Coasters for your next custom

249

00:10:54.620 --> 00:10:58.440

cup coaster req- Consider Cora- consider

250

00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.120

calling Cora's Coasters for your next custom cup

251

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.140

coaster req- Damn it, what the-

252

00:11:04.140 --> 00:11:04.860

who wrote this?

253

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.940

Consider calling Cora's Coasters for your next custom

254

00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:11.760

cup coaster requisition.

255

00:11:12.380 --> 00:11:13.080

Thank you.

256

00:11:20.140 --> 00:11:22.820

I fuck your life with Todd Chesterfield.

257

00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:27.100

So my vegan jerky journey ended before it

258

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:27.840

really began.

259

00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.460

I managed to get some first batches out

260

00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:33.060

before the birds took over my balcony and

261

00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:35.360

ruined Lewis's custom paint job.

262

00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:37.660

And the reviews were pretty good.

263

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:39.780

Indeed, for someone who is new to the

264

00:11:39.780 --> 00:11:41.520

vegan jerky biz, I think.

265

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:44.640

I thought about taking things online, maybe, and

266

00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:47.320

shipping the jerky to people outside of town

267

00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:47.700

limits.

268

00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:51.040

But I was really looking for some local

269

00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:52.120

connection instead.

270

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.900

Honestly, though, I was also looking for simplicity.

271

00:11:57.820 --> 00:11:58.600

Slowing down.

272

00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:02.320

Our lives have really become so busy and

273

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:02.880

disconnected.

274

00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:07.620

We're so stuck on our phones and getting

275

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:10.020

things done and being busy.

276

00:12:10.520 --> 00:12:13.780

Usually alone and really disconnected.

277

00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.460

And then if you want to sell something

278

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:19.160

on the web, like jerky, we need to

279

00:12:19.160 --> 00:12:21.320

be five different people.

280

00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.900

You're the jerky maker, and the packager, and

281

00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:29.880

the web builder, and graphics, and the social

282

00:12:29.880 --> 00:12:30.820

media-er.

283

00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:32.080

Oh, that part.

284

00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:34.200

I know that's what I did at Apocalypse

285

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:38.740

.cloud. And the payment gateways person, and shipping,

286

00:12:39.140 --> 00:12:42.300

and customer service, and gosh knows what else.

287

00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:44.260

That's more than five things.

288

00:12:44.780 --> 00:12:47.400

And you're still pretty disconnected, despite all of

289

00:12:47.400 --> 00:12:47.580

it.

290

00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:49.960

But I know Grackleton.

291

00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.640

I've lived here my whole life, almost.

292

00:12:53.300 --> 00:12:56.880

And I know that even though Grackleton is

293

00:12:56.880 --> 00:12:59.520

small, and we have our funny ways here,

294

00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:01.880

I know those funny ways.

295

00:13:02.260 --> 00:13:03.620

And I can understand them.

296

00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:05.480

And I can put up with them, too.

297

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:09.260

And I can put jerky right in people's

298

00:13:09.260 --> 00:13:09.700

hands.

299

00:13:09.700 --> 00:13:11.760

And I can tell them how it's made,

300

00:13:11.900 --> 00:13:12.760

and who made it.

301

00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:16.480

And they know that it's made by someone

302

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:17.060

here.

303

00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.800

That they might kind of know, if I'm

304

00:13:19.800 --> 00:13:20.960

the one telling them, at least.

305

00:13:21.540 --> 00:13:23.740

It connects me to the place I live,

306

00:13:23.820 --> 00:13:24.040

though.

307

00:13:25.280 --> 00:13:28.380

The Supra Appreciation Club ended up coming over

308

00:13:28.380 --> 00:13:31.580

to clean Lewis's Supra from the junco poop.

309

00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:33.680

And then they came over and cleaned up

310

00:13:33.680 --> 00:13:36.420

my balcony, and left me all the leftovers

311

00:13:36.420 --> 00:13:38.540

from the picnic, because they knew that I

312

00:13:38.540 --> 00:13:39.320

needed some food.

313

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.320

Community care and love might not happen all

314

00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:46.940

that often, but when it does, it sure

315

00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:47.800

makes a difference.

316

00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:51.400

And simplicity works pretty well in a world

317

00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:54.360

that's changing so rapidly, in really confusing and

318

00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.120

scary ways.

319

00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:57.720

When I set out on the path to

320

00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.980

get out of such a bad place, this

321

00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:02.120

rock bottom, I knew it was a place

322

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:03.340

I didn't want to be anymore.

323

00:14:03.640 --> 00:14:06.180

And I knew that I had to do

324

00:14:06.180 --> 00:14:09.240

this thing here, with the people that I

325

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.160

knew, in the place that I knew.

326

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.600

Even if I felt sometimes like it maybe

327

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.720

didn't have my back in its weird ways,

328

00:14:18.220 --> 00:14:20.300

I knew that I could trust myself to

329

00:14:20.300 --> 00:14:23.380

find a way and find people here in

330

00:14:23.380 --> 00:14:26.720

Grackleton to- Oh, sorry, Tog!

331

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:27.540

It's Joe!

332

00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:29.760

Joe Roost of Dehydrator Fape!

333

00:14:30.060 --> 00:14:30.800

Oh, yeah!

334

00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:31.460

Hi, Joe!

335

00:14:31.520 --> 00:14:32.000

Of course!

336

00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:32.500

Of course!

337

00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:32.940

Hang on!

338

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.600

So I just got back with a few

339

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.020

groceries to put in the fridge.

340

00:14:37.020 --> 00:14:39.180

I just saw that sign that I can

341

00:14:39.180 --> 00:14:40.460

have half the fridge.

342

00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:43.260

I was thinking of taking the back half

343

00:14:43.260 --> 00:14:44.780

of the fridge, and I just wanted to

344

00:14:44.780 --> 00:14:46.580

run that by you just in case, because

345

00:14:46.580 --> 00:14:49.180

I know it's probably not super anticipated, like

346

00:14:49.180 --> 00:14:51.060

probably not the first thing that you're thinking,

347

00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:51.400

right?

348

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.240

Oh, yeah, no, that's probably not what I

349

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.920

would have- I wouldn't have guessed that.

350

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:03.300

Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, you see, I'm a

351

00:15:03.300 --> 00:15:05.780

Jenga enthusiast, by the way.

352

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:09.720

Do you think that you might want to

353

00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.320

do a round of that tonight?

354

00:15:11.740 --> 00:15:14.800

You see, I'm a Jenga enthusiast, so that's

355

00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:16.280

why I like the back half of the

356

00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:17.880

fridge, the back half.

357

00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.960

Yeah, because I can kind of like-

358

00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:24.300

It helps, it helps, especially with big items

359

00:15:24.300 --> 00:15:26.160

like a carton of oat milk or something.

360

00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:28.680

Anyways, yeah, do you maybe want to do

361

00:15:28.680 --> 00:15:30.700

a round of Jenga tonight, you and me,

362

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:32.020

after you're done your show here?

363

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.440

Oh, wait, wait, are you doing a show

364

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:35.700

right now, hon?

365

00:15:36.280 --> 00:15:37.780

Am I on the air?

366

00:15:38.400 --> 00:15:39.840

Am I going to be famous?

367

00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:43.760

Yeah, actually, yeah, actually, you are, Jo, you

368

00:15:43.760 --> 00:15:44.640

are on the air.

369

00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.000

You might be famous.

370

00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:49.460

Do you want me to move all those

371

00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:49.980

potatoes?

372

00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:51.180

They're kind of in the way.

373

00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.920

Oh, so yeah, but I'll be down soon.

374

00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:54.660

I'll help.

375

00:15:54.780 --> 00:15:56.360

I'll move my stuff to the front half

376

00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:56.660

then.
