1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful day here in Lano, Texas. The birdies

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: are chirping, the wildflowers are in bloom, and it's day

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: three of the Lano Earth Art Festival. But I'm not

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: here for the music or the World Championship Rock Stack

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: in competition, although I will definitely be checking.

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: That out look at that pie.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm here to get some pizza, all right, man. But

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: as you're about to hear, this isn't your run of

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: the mill pizza.

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 3: My name is Jake Wright.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 4: I am the owner of Oh My Pizza Pie, a mobile,

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 4: wood fired pizza business. I'm based in San Marcos, Texas,

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 4: but we sling pizzas all across Texas, all right.

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: Jake Wright never planned to be a pizza man, but

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: as you're about to hear, life had other designs. To

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: understand that, though, we need to take a look back

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: way back. Jake's childhood was one filled with music. His

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: mom was a music teacher, and he and his siblings

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: played instruments. His was the type of family that had

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: lugged their guitarist to church on Sunday, and it wasn't

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: uncommon to have a family sing along in the evenings.

22
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: So when it came that time at the end of

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: high school to start making a plan for his future.

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: Jake did what many of us do. He tried to

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: turn his passion into a career. For Jake, this meant

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: enrolling at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, a highly regarded

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: school in the music industry, with the hopes of one

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: day becoming a producer. Only when Jake got there, he

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: found that the music industry wasn't all kumbayas around the fire.

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: What about school? Didn't you like most of it? Oh?

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: I didn't realize how competitive it is, and I learned

32
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: that I crumble under competition. So it's a very competitive industry,

33
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: the studio work for music.

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: Jake then did another thing that many of us do

35
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: when we're not entirely sure if we're on the right path.

36
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: He went abroad, took some time away to learn a

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: new language, experience another culture, and maybe find some inspiration,

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: which is how Jake wound up on farms in Germany

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: doing things he'd never expected to do.

40
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: What were you.

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 3: Doing on these farms cutting grass with a scythe where.

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 4: It was Yeah, cutting grass with a scythe shearing sheep,

43
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 4: picking apples, harvesting cherries.

44
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: And in Bavaria, I slaughtered a chicken.

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 4: Well I didn't slaughter, I held the chicken while he

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: got clubbed over the head and then had his throat slit.

47
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 4: For a vegetarian, that was an eye opening thing, the.

48
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Murdering of chickens. Aside, Jake enjoyed his time working on

49
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: these farms, but there was one task that he loved

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: more than all others.

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: Baking bread in the farm's bayhouse.

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: So the setting of the farm, this magical place in

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: northern Germany, and it's an old house hundreds of years old,

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: amazing flower garden, sheep and kind of right in the middle,

55
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: and the central location is this old bake house from

56
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: I think it dates before eighteen hundred. And you walk

57
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: in and it smells like fire in there, and there's

58
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: this old mill. We milled our own grains and it

59
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: was a special meal made out of a certain type

60
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: of wood so that moths wouldn't get the grain, And

61
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: just an amazing setting. And then the oven's probably six

62
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: feet deep and four feet wide, just just gigantic. And

63
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 4: the way you heat it is you just basically blaze it.

64
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: You have to get it so hot that the bricks

65
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: soak up all of the heat, so when you're ready

66
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: to bake bread, when the fire is finished, it's way

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: too hot to bake bread. And then it cools down

68
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: and then you can bake bread and you can use

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 4: that residual heat for a few days, and most ovens

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: like that.

71
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: If this were a profile of nearly anyone else, this

72
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: would be the point where that person stops everything and

73
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: becomes a professional baker. But that's not exactly how it

74
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: played out, because when Jake saw that oven, he didn't

75
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: say I'm going to be a baker. He saw that

76
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: oven and he thought, I'm gonna build an oven of

77
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: my own. So you're in Germany, you see this oven,

78
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: and you get inspired, and you think, I'm gonna go

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: back to Texas and I'm gonna make an oven.

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, after I learned to bake in that oven, I

81
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: decided to build one.

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: What made you think you could make an oven? I

83
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm pretty handy.

84
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 4: I'd built things before, and I typically like, don't question,

85
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: like someone else can do it when I can't. Die,

86
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: So I just, you know, I just thought I could

87
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 4: do it when I've had.

88
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: The benefit of knowing Jake for a number of years now,

89
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: and I can say that this is perhaps his most

90
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: admirable quality. Call it an innate confidence, or an obstinate tenacity,

91
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: or just some good old boy grip, whatever you want

92
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: to call it. Jake's the kind of guy that just

93
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: gets stuff done. He's not going to wade around to

94
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: the stars aligned to get a plan into place. He's

95
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: just going to roll up his sleeves if he's wearing any,

96
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: and figure it out on the fly. But remember, at

97
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: this point in our timeline, jake'sa financially strapped college kid

98
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: scraping by working on farms. He doesn't have the money

99
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: to just build a personal oven for his own backyard.

100
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: In fact, he didn't even have his own backyard. So

101
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: if he's going to build an oven, he needs to

102
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: make his money back on the investment. As Jake saw it,

103
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: he wasn't just building an oven. He was building himself

104
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: a job. Job he came up with was to make pizzas.

105
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: Would find pizzas.

106
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: What are you doing brushing the fireback? Yeah, and brushing

107
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: the ashes.

108
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 4: Out of the way so we don't get ashy pizzas.

109
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: And then I need to add a log because it's

110
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: looking a little low. I gotta keep it blazing.

111
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: And with his background in music, Jake got the clever

112
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: idea to put his pizza oven on wheels and then

113
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: drive it around to music festivals and other live events

114
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: all over his home state of Texas. So you came

115
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: home from Germany and you told your parents, I'm gonna

116
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: build a pizza oven.

117
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, outside your house.

118
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 4: They're very supportive, but I think they're probably a little

119
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 4: bit skeptical.

120
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: You know, I had no money.

121
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, my dad helped me some and probably three or

122
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: four months later, ready for the first festival.

123
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: And after his dad had to put his own sweat

124
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: into the building of the oven, he wanted to see

125
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: the thing in action, so he offered to be Jake's

126
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: first employee, at least for that initial weekend. So you

127
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: and your dead drive your homemade pizza oven out to Alpine,

128
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: Texas for day one.

129
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we pack up.

130
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: You know there's it's before like the final version of

131
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: the trailer. So you know, there's trash cans hanging off

132
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 4: the side, tints hanging off, wood packed as high as

133
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: it can go in the truck, this big metal cylinder

134
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: on a trailer. We kind of looked like the medicine

135
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: man fling into town. But we made it there. All

136
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: the wheels stayed on and we sold a lot of pizza.

137
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: How many pizzas do you think you made that day?

138
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: I still remember one hundred and forty. When we come

139
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: back from the break, Jake becomes a man of the road.

140
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 5: A strong work ethic, takes pride in a job well done.

148
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: weekend of selling pizzas with his dad in West Texas,

149
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: has spent the last twelve years rambling all over the

150
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: lone Star state with his wood fired pizza oven in

151
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: tow Tell me some of the places you've made pizzas before? Uh, everywhere.

152
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of Texas. Oh hang on, let

153
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: me cue Johnny Cash's song I've been everywhere. Oh wait,

154
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: we don't have the rights, all right, this free song

155
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: I'll have to do.

156
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, we go all over Texas. We're in the middle

157
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 4: of Texas and we'll go five or six hours in

158
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: any direction. Basically, I there's a good festival, we'll go.

159
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: So we might be one weekend and right in the

160
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: middle of Houston doing the Houston Beer Fest. And the

161
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: next weekend we can be in a town where Wuero

162
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 4: there is no pizza. Atlantos gas station pizza but nothing else.

163
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 4: Dallas tumbleweed town, a tumbleweed town, yeah exactly, Marfa, Fort Stockton,

164
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: I Alpine Pecos and Burnett and Bluebonnet Festival.

165
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

166
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 4: Sometimes going to a festival, you never know where you're

167
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: gonna end up, especially if it's the first time and

168
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: no two are really alike. So one festival we can

169
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: be selling pizzas to people dressed up as wizards and

170
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: fairies walking. By the next week we're in some small

171
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: town and it's cowboys with cowboy hats, jeans tucked into

172
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: their boots, literally wearing spurs like they just got off

173
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: their horse.

174
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: But no matter how different they all are, they all

175
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: love pizza exactly.

176
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: They all love pizza. It's a great business to be it.

177
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: So if the oven's running at nine hundred So how

178
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: long does it take to cook a pizza at nine

179
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: hundred degrees?

180
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 4: About ninety seconds to two minutes if we're ranging from

181
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 4: eight to nine hundred degrees, So.

182
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: You got to really be paying attention. You can't be

183
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: slacking on the job.

184
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 4: No, we typically have one guy that's just the oven guy,

185
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 4: and it's kind of my favorite job because you just

186
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: kind of get lost in the fire.

187
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: And how many pizzas can you fit in that oven

188
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: at the same time?

189
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: Ah, we typically have four, but you could fit five

190
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 4: or six.

191
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: But we typically were going so fast at four at

192
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: a time.

193
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: What's the record pizzas in a day?

194
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 3: Forty damn? Yeah that was that was a busy day.

195
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: But before you head out to your backyard to build

196
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: your own pizza trailer, Jake would like you to know

197
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: that it isn't all peace, love and profit out there.

198
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: So you're not making pizza in a nice, climate controlled space.

199
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: You're out there dealing with the elements. Yeah, yeah, completely.

200
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: You know homemade trailer with old corrugated tin on the

201
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: side that you know, if it pours it can leak

202
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 4: a little bit. Yeah, we're definitely out in the elements.

203
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: We've made pizza in rain storms, ice storms, We've gotten

204
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 4: stuck because the car couldn't pull out of an icy

205
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: parking lot. So we're we're definitely in the elements rain

206
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: or shine.

207
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: And let's remember they're in Texas, which if you've spent

208
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: any time there, you know just how freaking hot it

209
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: can get. What's the hottest temperature you think you ever

210
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: made pizza in?

211
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure the Georgetown Rodeo maybe nine years ago

212
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: was one hundred and seven.

213
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, that was no fun. Every part

214
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: of that festival was no fun. Did a lot of

215
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: people get pizzas that day?

216
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: No, it's too hot. They got snow cones.

217
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: And then there are the porta pottis.

218
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: So you know, just imagine these hot festivals where it's

219
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: one hundred outside and you go to porter potty. It's

220
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: essentially a greenhouse in there, so it's one hundred and

221
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: ten in there. And then after a full day of that,

222
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: wondering where you're going to shower, So you're really roughing

223
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 4: it out there.

224
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we're roughing it. You know.

225
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 4: We end at midnight sometimes and then we'll go to

226
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 4: the campor four of us sleeping in the camper.

227
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: In spite of the heat and the bad weather and

228
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: the occasional vehicle breakdowns and a whole big chunk of

229
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: downtime when all live events were canceled due to the pandemic,

230
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Jake Wright has managed to persist through the hardships. He's

231
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: even expanded his operation with another oven and a whole

232
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: other team of employees to run it so he can

233
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: hit two festivals in a weekend. All right, so we

234
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: got dough balls here. You're making these on site, making

235
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: these on site, made the dough this morning, got the

236
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: cheese on, not too much, A little bit of this,

237
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. Do you like living this

238
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: in your eccentric mobile festival life?

239
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? I do like it definitely, times where I where

240
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: something steadier sounds nice, or like a paycheck does sound.

241
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: Nice, looking good, that looks great.

242
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: But overall, one hundred percent, I like the freedom of it,

243
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: being able to move about how I want, and I

244
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: could shut down shop and no one misses me as

245
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: long as I show up to the festival the next year.

246
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: One of the prettier ones of the day for you.

247
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 2: So you made four hundred of these yesterday.

248
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, four hundred and change, crazy and we got a

249
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 6: crew in Tomball, Texas at a German festival.

250
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: You're doubled up this week, doubled up and they beat

251
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 2: us by a little bit.

252
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: But but we're at a cooler festival, so sorry, Tumble. Generally,

253
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 4: the people are all happy to be removed from you know,

254
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 4: work or stress for a few days, to be out

255
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 4: with friends, partying, having a good time eating pizza.

256
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: And I get to give pizza to these people.

257
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like a bad life. No, it's really not.

258
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: It's a good line. I know Jake didn't live out

259
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: his childhood fantasy of getting into the music industry. One

260
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: of the plus sides of being a mobile pizza slinger

261
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: is he gets to listen to live music almost every night.

262
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: What time does the band come on tonight? The band

263
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: comes on at eight tonight. You're looking forward to it? Yes,

264
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: I think you'll be able to step away and go

265
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: check them out for.

266
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 7: A minute for a few songs. And there's also Friday

267
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 7: and Saturday night. There's right over there in the alley.

268
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 7: A few years ago they started Shakedown Street and it's

269
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 7: sort of Grateful Dead themed and there's got a great

270
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 7: band that plays in there. It's really small, it's like

271
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 7: thirty fee thirty feet.

272
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: It's very cool for on the job. I'm Arey Thompson.

273
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 6: Tracy. Okay, so my voice is cracking. I'm older than fifteen.

274
00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 6: I've just been talking over music all day
