00:07:25I can see you now standing alongside the Titans Rachel Ray Stephen Coe and Annabel sure
00:07:31Okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:07:33We should celebrate I've been dying to try that new place that just opened up around the corner
00:07:37I would love to but I can't tonight cuz I have a date. Oh, this is lucky. Yeah. Give me all the deets
00:07:44His name is Tim. He's a self-proclaimed foodie and
00:07:49Technically, we have not met yet
00:07:51dating app again
00:07:53It's nothing to be ashamed of everybody's on him. Ah
00:07:56Kind of seems like a digital meat market
00:07:59Please every girl has to kiss a couple of frogs before she finds her prince and trust me your prince is out there
00:08:05I bet you he is fine
00:08:18Yeah, I give up could I get some ketchup that's already out of the bottle
00:08:25Right away, sir
00:08:29A
00:08:30Kind of fancy restaurant brings you ketchup in a bottle. You should try a bite without it. Nah, no
00:08:36Ketchup kind of guy. I mean, let's be honest. What doesn't taste better with a little ketchup, right?
00:08:43So I should ask you
00:08:45How does someone become a culinary network chef? I
00:08:50Entered a food competition a few years ago and took first place. What about you?
00:08:54Were you a chef before that or I was a sous chef at a boutique restaurant in New York for years before the network
00:08:59Snatched me up, but I've been around food my whole life
00:09:03And now you finally have a career worth pursuing
00:09:07What does that mean I
00:09:10Wants to grind 12 hours a day in a kitchen. Am I right? I mean, what's the fun in that?
00:09:15It's not the most glamorous job at times
00:09:17But when you create food from your heart and soul that people genuinely love
00:09:23There is something magical about it
00:09:26Your ketchup, sir. Thanks boss
00:09:30Not to overstate the obvious, but I'm a pretty big foodie myself. Mm-hmm. I saw that on your profile
00:09:39You should let me cook for you sometime I
00:09:43Promise I will not disappoint
00:09:52Hey
00:10:00You back at the office
00:10:05Horrible I should have canceled
00:10:07You found a thing didn't you?
00:10:10What do you mean a thing? Don't play coy with me. I know you it was definitely a thing. I
00:10:17Don't
00:10:20Okay, he put ketchup on his beef wellington, I mean who does that
00:10:25He takes me to the nicest restaurant in downtown and then puts ketchup on his
00:10:29Wellington and it wasn't just a little bit. It was like a whole layer
00:10:34You're in another level right now. I cannot with you. I'm sorry. It was barbaric
00:10:39I see a lot of cats in your future. Are you saying I'm picky? I'm
00:10:44Particular not picky. Yeah
00:10:47Um, what about that hot architect you went out with we both agreed the pitch of his voice was too high
00:10:53It was like nails on a chalkboard
00:10:58Oh jeans and flip-flops guy don't even get me started on him
00:11:07You might be a little right
00:11:10Admitting you have a problem. It's the first step. Is that bad? We'll get it all that later
00:11:16Mr. Ketchup, man can go sauce himself. How are you feeling about tomorrow?
00:11:25Nervous
00:11:27Scared
00:11:28What if it's not good enough? You are the most creative and charismatic TV chef. I know
00:11:35Why all the doubt I don't know
00:11:37Three years of being pigeonholed into party platters and finger foods can really take a toll on a chef's confidence water under the bridge
00:11:44All you need to focus on is knocking the stuffing out of that meeting tomorrow
00:11:50You're right
00:11:52Positive affirmations, baby
00:11:55And get some sleep. Good night
00:12:01It's gonna be great come a great going to be great
00:12:14Okay
00:12:31There she is
00:12:33Good morning. Mr. Thompson. Mrs. Smithers. It is so good to finally meet you. Now, please have a seat. Thank you
00:12:40And these are for you
00:12:55Mr. Thompson you want to start us off sure
00:12:58Taylor
00:12:59For the past three years your audience space has nearly doubled with each new episode and yesterday's final episode
00:13:05Landed QED at the third highest watch show currently running
00:13:09Congratulations, that's great. Who knew exactly so if it isn't broke why fix it, right?
00:13:15Yeah, I know a lot of work went into this but to be frank
00:13:19We don't need another show featuring complicated food that most of our audience can't even make
00:13:25What we need is this
00:13:27I
00:13:34Don't understand we're moving QED to primetime and increasing your budget and of course your pay
00:13:41Now America loves you Taylor Ryder and what they love just as much is food. That's
00:13:46quick easy and delicious
00:13:50So, what do you say
00:13:57I can't believe you said no, I can't believe no is all I said
00:14:03QED is such a gimmick
00:14:05Look, thanks to you that gimmick made the network a lot of money
00:14:09You can't blame them for not being ready to let it go. I know
00:14:12You're right, and I don't want to seem ungrateful
00:14:15It's just time for me to move on
00:14:18Okay, you ready yeah
00:14:22You are going to love it
00:14:24Bitch
00:14:29And a bon appétit
00:14:35Mmm
00:14:38If I could cook like that I
00:14:40Would never leave the kitchen if I could move past 15-minute tailgate recipes that aren't even my own. Maybe I could teach you
00:14:48cute I
00:14:50Understand your frustration, but you have got to keep your eye on the prize primetime is a huge opportunity
00:14:59Is it though? Yeah, it is
00:15:02Within months. You'll be a household name with your own product line your own cookbooks
00:15:07And once that happens the world is your oyster. I'm talking dollar dollar bills, baby
00:15:13Speaking of dollar dollar bills, I'm cancelling my flights. I can't go back home. I need to look for a job
00:15:19Absolutely, not
00:15:21What you need to clear your head before making any more network decisions
00:15:26There are no more network decisions to be made. I already said no
00:15:30No
00:15:31No
00:15:33You had a temporary lapse in judgment because you're exhausted
00:15:37Judgment because you're exhausted from three long very successful seasons of QED
00:15:43But soon you'll be calm and relaxed and I'll relate to the network that you're sorry and you're grateful
00:15:50I'm looking forward to their official. I know that's
00:15:53no, but
00:15:55As your agent and dear friend that is our story and we're sticking to it
00:16:01Your sandwich
00:16:03Yes, ma'am
00:16:07I

00:20:09You were supposed to remind me. Oh, excuse me. I've been a little preoccupied. Thank you very much
00:20:13Well, he's it's only a couple of bruised ribs, which the doctor said was on the verge of being fractured
00:20:19Hence, no heavy lifting yard work laundry or dishes. You can stand you can do dishes. Nice. Try that
00:20:29Might be a little clumsy, but he is a tough guy. I am strong like bull
00:20:35Dad

00:20:43How'd you know I could smell the garlic and rosemary in a walk
00:20:47like father like daughter
00:20:53Do we have an iceberg? Yeah
00:21:00This is heaven
00:21:05So
00:21:07Now that works over okay, what's next actually they're thinking of picking up QED for a few more seasons
00:21:13I just found out a couple days ago
00:21:16That's wonderful. Maybe now they'll let you do some of your own recipes for once
00:21:23Well outside of work, is there anything else that's new
00:21:27Hmm same old same old, you know, the show kept me pretty busy. So so is there a someone special we should know about
00:21:36Come on
00:21:38Unfortunately, nothing to report in that department
00:21:41Well, that's perfectly fine, sweetie. If there's anything I've learned that you cannot rush love
00:21:46So that's the guy who proposed to me on our fourth date in his own restaurant
00:21:53What can I say I'm just a bit of a romantic
00:21:59Speaking of the restaurant
00:22:01You are short a chef and I would like to help
00:22:06That's very nice of you, but
00:22:09It's totally unnecessary. Yeah, dad. You're in no condition to be in the kitchen, please. I insist
00:22:15Glenn you should tell her tell me what nothing
00:22:20dad
00:22:21Glenn
00:22:23What's going on? Well running a restaurant is a is really hard work
00:22:30Especially these days
00:22:32Yeah, I mean right honestly, what do we know about about serving vegan?
00:22:39pumpkin pate or
00:22:41Why people want deconstructed avocado toast, I mean all that is is avocado on toast
00:22:47Did you know how much more?
00:22:50Deconstructed can you get right? And then of course then there's this activated charcoal that okay, honey
00:22:56I think you've started to go. Yeah, I knew you I just found out a couple of weeks ago that your mother is in ketosis
00:23:03Okay, and she doesn't say very much about it
00:23:05But I think it could turn very serious and then I won't know what to do cuz I'm a chef
00:23:09And then I won't know what to do cuz I'll be by myself what's going on
00:23:15Glenn just tell her
00:23:25You mother and I want to sell the restaurant
00:23:39Mind if I join you?
00:23:44Hi, hi, I
00:23:46Just don't understand. How could you sell the restaurant like it doesn't mean anything. I
00:23:52Think we both know better than that
00:23:55Well, that's what it feels like trust me. This was not an easy choice for either of us
00:24:00But
00:24:03After grandma CC passed away your dad his his heart just hasn't been in it
00:24:10But everything he makes is so good. No, sweetie. It is good, but good just doesn't cut it nowadays
00:24:19Well, how am I just now finding out about this?
00:24:23You know how your father can be he's a very proud man
00:24:27I
00:24:30Call it stubborn
00:24:33Okay
00:24:37So you're gonna go to Jordan's party
00:24:40How do you know about that?

00:28:34Always passing the buck says the girl who left and never looked back you wanted to get away
00:28:39Well, you got it. Do not even go there. I was away chasing my dreams unlike someone else

00:34:06Truce
00:34:08So
00:34:10When you head back
00:34:11Actually, I decided to stay for a while help my parents with the restaurant. My dad's injury really put a damper on the renovations
00:34:18Well, I'm sure they appreciate that
00:34:21How can I help you don't have to help I know but I want to you're not the only one who's gonna be sad about
00:34:26This Jacob good. How are you? Good. Good to see you too. You look great. What are you doing? Oh
00:34:34Patty's dragging me to this Pilates class three times a week. Damn. Yeah, I should get into that. No
00:34:40By the way
00:34:41Taylor has asked if I can come by and help out at the restaurant and I would be more than happy to oh, it's great
00:34:48The more the merrier once you stay and join us, you know, I'd love to but I actually just ate and I got a run
00:34:53but
00:34:53I'll stop by the restaurant later
00:34:56If you need anything, just let me know I will help her
00:35:02All right. Bye. Bye
00:35:05Well, that was an unexpected pleasure, yes, it was
00:35:09Do you found your phone? Yeah, it's exactly
00:35:11Taylor
00:35:13Mr. Ryder. Oh, we are so glad to see you're doing better. You know, you gave us all quite a scare
00:35:19Well small town news tends to be a bit dramatic at times. Yes. Well, that's part of the charm, I suppose
00:35:27By the way, I haven't gotten a chance to thank you personally for passing along the catering business my mama and I really do appreciate it
00:35:34Well, I'm really glad that worked out. Oh, Jordan was very happy
00:35:40By the way, you two must be excited about the competition what competition Taylor didn't tell you
00:35:56To the competition
00:36:04Coming for you Linda boss, you're back in town one day and already you made the front page
00:36:14Anyways made the best restaurant win I'll send over a server take your order. Oh, thank you
00:36:21Taylor I might have entered us in the cook-off us. What who is us?
00:36:28Look, I I'm selling the restaurants. I don't have time for this dad
00:36:31I can tell you're upset but look at the bright side. What is the bright side?
00:36:36Jessica says any publicity is good publicity, right? Oh and think about it this way
00:36:41CC writers crowned food and wine champion not a bad selling point. Sure, but if I'm not gonna go out let's go out with a bang
00:36:50Plus I can think of no better way to spend my downtime and cooking with my dad like we used to
00:37:01Didn't get me off the hook. Yes
00:37:07So you are competing
00:37:09Yes, well technically the restaurant is but she just said your parents were selling the restaurant. Isn't that the whole reason you're staying?
00:37:17They are and it is
00:37:20Is this about the restaurant?
00:37:24Both I
00:37:26mean if I can get my dad to fall back in love with cooking by winning the contest and
00:37:31Maybe I can save the restaurant
00:37:36Exactly
00:37:38The only thing I haven't figured out he has the money
00:37:42Can I make a suggestion as your friend
00:37:48Course
00:37:49But the salary the network is offering you could cover the cost of reopening without hesitation
00:37:55Is it really that much?
00:37:58Check your texts
00:38:01You
00:38:06You're kidding
00:38:07Nope, and I can get you more if you let me try. I don't know money isn't everything
00:38:13Look, if you don't like what they come back with then nothing changes. There's no harm in flirting
00:38:20Famous last words
00:38:26Where's this for conscious
00:38:31Where were we
00:38:32Recipes recipes recipes

00:41:08Really am you know, there's something right about waking up with the Sun

00:41:21Simple sounds nice
00:41:24What Oh nothing just something I've never thought I'd hear you say
00:41:30With you was always Paris this and New York that
00:41:34Everything was always so grandiose
00:41:36Nothing seems simple. Yeah, that sounds like me
00:41:42So what's going on with you and dating I heard you and Linda were a thing
00:41:46Well, we could chalk that up to a temporary lapse in judgment
00:41:50But she's so charming. I know I know
00:41:54Yeah, I've had a few girlfriends here and there nothing that really stuck, you know, I don't know I guess just not ready to settle

00:42:28It looks like all your dreams came true
00:42:30Yeah, I don't know about that. I thought you said they're moving your show to primetime
00:42:34They are I just haven't accepted their offer to host it yet
00:42:39What's stopping you?
00:42:42All I wanted to do was be a great chef and teach people how to make amazing food
00:42:46But I'm QED. All I do is make
00:42:48dips and finger foods
00:42:51So why don't you change it offer the audience something different believe me?
00:42:54I would love to but changing the format of a successful show. It is
00:42:58Harder than you think even if you are the host
00:43:01well, then
00:43:03Maybe it's just not right for you
00:43:05Maybe or maybe I'm just being too picky
00:43:08No, I don't think you're being picky at all

00:45:45What do you think dad I kind of agree with Jacob
00:45:51I'll shoot
00:45:53Well, what if we go to the farm? Maybe I'll get an idea. Well, I'm a little tired

00:46:04You sure? Yeah, absolutely
00:46:28Oh

00:48:38Yes, but those were actually good said nobody ever then. Why did you have me keep making them for you?

00:49:31What are you doing here? Well, I mean all your talk of food competitions I felt like I was missing out really no
00:49:40Your contract came back from the network and rather than send it to you and have you sit on it for who knows how long?

00:51:44Don't know what I'm gonna do
00:51:46QED was never supposed to be my entire career. I want to be taken seriously
00:51:51I mean can't get more serious than prime time
00:51:54The more fans you have the more seriously you're taken
00:51:58As a personality or a chef as an icon
00:52:02Plus they agreed to double what they were already offered double
00:52:06Yeah, I really played up your concerns as being labeled a one-trick pony. What about the food?
00:52:12still quick easy and delicious I
00:52:15I
00:52:20Loved growing up here. This place definitely has a charm to it. I will give you that

00:53:27But remember what grandma CC would always say in a battle between the mind and the heart
00:53:32With our win. Mm-hmm, but sometimes we have to let the brain win because the heart isn't always right
00:53:42Well, I'm sure we all have things to do yes, we're gonna go check out downtown Dunedin great good luck

00:55:33You okay I
00:55:38Just don't know what to do. I have this amazing offer staring me in the face
00:55:44But for some reason it just doesn't feel right
00:55:53Well, I'm gonna tell you something that your grandmother told me just before I took over the restaurant
00:56:01She said if you're going to do something you gotta do it for the right reasons
00:56:09Money comes and goes
00:56:14But your love for food is what makes a great chef
00:56:22Without that you're in the wrong business
00:56:27She said that
00:56:30She did
00:56:33You miss her all the time
00:56:35So do I
00:56:40Yeah
00:56:43She had this knack of putting smiles on people's faces with the food she made
00:56:49She loved that restaurant
00:56:52And everybody that came in there and sat down
00:56:57They felt it
00:57:12I know you're gonna make the right choice
00:57:14I
00:57:18Cannot imagine
00:57:37Good morning. Good morning. Oh
00:57:40I'll wear the scones. They're delicious, right? Yes. I
00:57:47Wanted to talk to you a minute. Yeah, sure
00:57:51So I made my decision
00:57:53and I
00:57:58Decided to do the show
00:58:01Really? We seem surprised. I felt like you were leaning in the opposite direction
00:58:06Like you said, this is the opportunity of a lifetime I'd be crazy to pass it up that sounds like me always selling
00:58:13This is what needs to happen
00:58:16your final answer
00:58:19Final answer
00:58:21Okay, I'll let the network know they're gonna want you to start right away. Oh, can you buy me a week or so?
00:58:26Oh, yeah, I can manage that
00:58:29Thank you. All right. I gotta get back to Atlanta. I have a lot of work to do
00:58:33Quick easy unoriginal
00:58:41Hey, hey, here we go. Oh, thank you
00:58:47Hmm where's your pops? He's at a doctor's appointment. Okay, ooh
00:58:54I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry
00:58:58Where's your pops? He's at a doctor's appointment. Okay, ooh, man, if I try please
00:59:11Mmm-hmm. This is good. This is basic basically delicious
00:59:21Sorry, that was a little corny
00:59:23Get it cornbread
00:59:28None of this is gonna win the contest nothing here is original
00:59:32All right. I think you're putting way too much stress on yourself
00:59:36Maybe that's all I'm good at
00:59:38quick and easy
00:59:41Okay, I
00:59:42Think you need to take a break. I would love to actually take a break, but I can't the competition is tomorrow
00:59:48I know but sitting in your all-day cooking dish after basic dish isn't gonna do anybody any good Wow
00:59:54You know you need a little inspiration
01:00:15Just trust me
01:00:18Big Mike four barbacoas, please
01:00:21All
01:00:23Made from scratch. How'd you find this place? Well, they get all their produce from the farm and get all their meats from Ellen
01:00:29It's all local, huh?
01:00:34Wow
01:00:38No, that's amazing, I promise you haven't had barbacoa like this
01:00:43I'm saying you should make this exact thing. Oh
01:00:46But oh
01:00:49Thank you Wow
01:00:54Yeah, I'll take that Oh
01:00:57Thank you. Thanks
01:01:09That was amazing, right
01:01:12this recipe has been in his family for
01:01:15Generations
01:01:17Well, I've never had barbacoa this good
01:01:20For what it's worth I think maybe one of the reasons you're having such a hard time right now
01:01:25Is that what you're making?
01:01:29Isn't yours and maybe what's missing is a piece of you
01:01:35You know, we broke up I didn't know what to do with myself I was brokenhearted and the only thing I had was work
01:01:44So I guess in a way I owe part of my career to you
01:01:50You're welcome
01:01:55I
01:01:57But I thought I couldn't turn down the money
01:02:00But you said you weren't happy
01:02:02Being happy won't help my parents reopen the restaurant
01:02:07No, I I guess it won't
01:02:13I'm sorry. I just I wanted you to know
01:02:16Yeah, you don't have to apologize. You're putting your family first. It's a good thing
01:02:24Thank you for understanding yeah, of course
01:02:32You
01:02:48Taylor I have no doubt that whatever you make it's gonna be amazing
01:02:53hopefully
01:02:55We'll see. Hey all those fails come with fried chicken and ice cream
01:03:02Yeah
01:03:06Jacob you're a genius. What do I say? I think I know what I'm gonna make better get to it then
01:03:20So I'll see you tomorrow, you know
01:03:33You
01:03:43Hey Patty, you might just do me a favor. I just need a phone number
01:03:46I
01:03:57Can't we just use the stuff that's already cut up because we want it to be fresh
01:04:01Why because the food we make is only as good as the ingredients we use to make it here
01:04:08What's it taste like?
01:04:11I'm sorry. Well, we know it's parsley
01:04:17What's it taste like describe it pepper good. What else?
01:04:24dirt right
01:04:27But when something tastes like dirt, we call it earthy. Why I don't know sounds better
01:04:40You
01:04:46Young beauty
01:04:50Is everything okay, I
01:04:52Saw a Jacob's car pulled away
01:04:55Yeah, he just came to drop off some blueberries
01:04:58How'd the appointment go?
01:05:03I'm healing nicely. Well, that's good news. Yeah, so yet for some cooking Oh
01:05:10Ma'am I thought you'd never ask me
01:05:25Like the old days, huh?
01:05:28We ate a classic
01:05:30Chicken dip and ice cream and it's not every menu of every come on. Wouldn't that be amazing like a hamburger?
01:05:39I got the lemons
01:06:09Oh
01:06:39Perfect, let's plate it. Let's do it
01:06:54The judges are going to love this when the boxy in her heart out
01:07:01So
01:07:06You're telling me that Jacob talking about dipping his fried chicken into the ice cream is how you came up with all of it
01:07:13Unexpected ingredients, huh? It sure is
01:07:17Yeah, well, I'm just excited about the desserts. You're always excited about the deserts. Yeah, as long as it's not baked Alaskan fondue. I
01:07:26Almost died that day
01:07:32I
01:07:54Hope they don't mind a little unfinished painting. Well, they're not here to judge us on that they're here for the food
01:08:00How's our chef oh, I'm a little nervous, but I'll let you know not you silly you're ready for dessert. Oh

01:10:01The last plate there I he didn't eat very much can I
01:10:05Have a whole one for you in the back. Oh, you're my idol. We'll be in the kitchen. Oh, thank you
01:10:17Talk on the street is CC riders kicked some boot day
01:10:25What are you doing here
01:10:27You think that I would let my best friend make it through an entire cooking competition without showing a little glove
01:10:34How'd it go
01:10:37Good I think
01:10:38You think girl? I know your food those judges weren't blown away by whatever it is. You made they probably shouldn't be judges
01:10:49How did it go at the network, oh, let's talk about that later, let me help you with these thank you
01:10:57So, where's Jacob? Oh
01:11:00Well, he said he had some things to take care of at the farm. Why just wondering, huh?
01:11:06So back here. Have you seen?
01:11:27I
01:11:39Keep getting more and more fancy. I mean look at this
01:11:44Guys you need this
01:11:48They do this every year not grown so much I
01:11:52Still can't believe we pulled everything together in time
01:11:54I've never had a doubt in my mind say anyone can pull up a food competition. It's this girl
01:11:59That's how the network found her after all
01:12:02Speaking of the network before you go in there's something I want to talk to you guys about
01:12:07What is it sweetie? I've decided to take the show
01:12:10QED
01:12:12Mm-hmm. And with the money I'll be making I want to help the restaurant get back on its feet and open its doors
01:12:17June bug listen, hear me out. I think with a little TLC and a few small tweaks the menu
01:12:23I think the restaurant could thrive again
01:12:27It's sweet of you, but money really isn't the problem
01:12:31What do you mean?
01:12:33After 35 years your father and I are ready to retire
01:12:37Maybe travel the world a little I
01:12:43Was hoping that cooking together and the competition might change your minds
01:12:48I never had so much fun in the kitchen since the days of grandma season
01:12:53I mean you remind me of all the reasons why I
01:12:57Why I fell in love with cooking but we do have to move on
01:13:03Just because we're starting a new chapter in our lives doesn't mean the restaurant needs to leave the family
01:13:14Are you offering me the restaurant
01:13:20If you wanted
01:13:24I don't have the money to reopen a restaurant on my own
01:13:28Maybe I can help you with that
01:13:31Just you're my best friend. I can't accept a loan from you. Oh, no. No, it wouldn't be a loan. It would be a
01:13:37Capital contribution is part owner if you're open to it
01:13:41You mean like partners?
01:13:43Your talents are limitless with the right team behind you
01:13:47I mean, there may even be a few stars in your future if you know what I mean
01:13:53What about the show
01:13:55I I didn't send the contract in
01:13:58what I
01:14:00Something just fell off
01:14:02so I decided I would sit on it for a couple of days and then I got the call from Jacob and
01:14:07Here we are
01:14:11Jacob called you
01:14:16They're about ready to announce the winners of the competition, come on, let's go

01:14:58Have to admit I have to admit the competition was fierce this year ladies and gentlemen and

01:15:08Difficult decisions had to be made

01:17:04Oh, thank you
01:17:06You know, I spent my entire childhood
01:17:08Wondering what life would be like outside small-town Dunedin
01:17:13I've lived in big cities worked at fancy restaurants, but none of its made me as happy as this past week
01:17:21creating new dishes
01:17:23connecting with old friends

01:18:22Are you really taking over the restaurant?
01:18:25Yeah
01:18:28What made you change your mind about the show
01:18:31Well when my parents offered me the restaurant
01:18:34It just fell in my heart
01:18:36You know, grandma CC was saying she were here right now
01:18:40Grandma CC always does this
01:18:44You know, it's a good thing Jessica didn't turn in those contracts
01:18:48Old news, sir. Hey, the contract idea was all Jessica. I just called for some friendly advice
01:18:55This restaurants gonna take a lot of work. And since when have you ever been afraid of hard work?
01:19:02Hey, why didn't you tell me about the farm?
