You know what I'm saying last time time, Sean, 39 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: this is early on the West coast, this Los Angeles, 40 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: this early, it's early. Well you're the first of all. 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: I'm big fans and uh and when I heard about this, 42 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: h this millennial show, I like, I said, I got 43 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: a twenty one year old okay, and she got she 44 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: got ideas. She doesn't have a she doesn't have a 45 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: TV show, even want the TV. And she looks at 46 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: everything on her phone and uh, you know, she she 47 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: has her own sense of what she wants to be. 48 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: She lives on campus now and then she's back home 49 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: for the summer because she's taking summer classes. So when 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: you say the word millennial, what age group are you 51 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: looking at in that range you're focusing on your show? 52 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: I have believe millennial. Now, like some of the younger 53 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: kids are technically Gen V or something. Um, you might 54 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: have a gen weird. I don't know, you know how 55 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: they start drawing the line. But I think like a 56 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: lot of the people that you're working with are like 57 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: mid twenties and their thirties. I think like there, yeah, 58 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: and they have like their apartments and they're you know, 59 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: or they have a young family, or they're expecting a family, 60 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: or they're single and just started their career, just took 61 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: a shift in their careers or things like that. Yeah, 62 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: that's about right, because you know it goes from eighteen 63 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: to thirty four. That's that that age range. Yeah, you're 64 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: hit you're hitting that out of college. They got bills 65 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: coming their way, they got trouble coming their way, right, right, 66 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: So so this idea okay because each one you have 67 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: special skills and your brother and sisters. So we all 68 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: know I have six sisters and have two brothers, so 69 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, we don't always agree. I think that's a 70 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: great dynamic to have in the show. Tell me how 71 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: the role plays out for you too. On this show, 72 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: we found a good way to split up the work 73 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: so we do have our individual skills and to not 74 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: overlap too much. But um, when it comes down to it, 75 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm the box and so that's how it works out 76 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: really well. I am the older one, so you know, 77 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: just kidding. But the way that we do it is 78 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: that we do a reveal meal at the end. Jake 79 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: does a I do a design and a dessert. For 80 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: my focus is the overall design of the space and 81 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: making a dessert for the reveal party. And Jake's focus 82 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: is a build and a meal, so he makes the 83 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: main course and he also builds a custom peace for 84 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: um for eating fix that we're doing, or he refurbishes 85 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: a piece. Okay, cool, now dessert, you hit my you 86 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: hit my home run list right there. Now, is any 87 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: desserts from your book the Family Table? Or these are 88 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: just desserts a the outside of that book, there was 89 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: People by the Way, I recommend that's my favorite book. 90 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: That's how I met this this family here was through 91 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: the book. Now you talk about desserts. I was asking you, 92 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: is any or any of these desserts in the Family 93 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: Table book?

Um, I love making desserts. So there's a 96 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: lot of different stuff there. We have sixteen different episodes, 97 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: so a few of the episodes have desserts from the 98 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: Family Table. I think the one that just aired, the 99 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: one that just aired, yes, that's in the Family Table. 100 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: It was a chocolate uh, flowerless chocolate cake.
