1
00:00:00,165 --> 00:00:02,748
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:09,790
- We're now several weeks
into self-isolation,

3
00:00:09,790 --> 00:00:11,140
and I'm sure the cabin fever

4
00:00:11,140 --> 00:00:13,200
is really starting to settle in,

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,530
but I have a few suggestions
on what to watch,

6
00:00:15,530 --> 00:00:18,280
listen to and bake to help pass the time.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,427
Here are my recommendations for the week.

8
00:00:20,427 --> 00:00:22,667
I say this with no exaggeration,

9
00:00:22,667 --> 00:00:26,070
"Steven Universe" is one of my
top three favorite t.v. shows

10
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:27,580
of all time.

11
00:00:27,580 --> 00:00:29,680
Yes, I'm fully aware
that I'm a grown adult,

12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,330
and this is technically a kids' show,

13
00:00:31,330 --> 00:00:32,750
but that's just it.

14
00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:34,657
It doesn't feel like a kids' show.

15
00:00:34,657 --> 00:00:37,550
"Steven Universe"
tackles topics like PTSD,

16
00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:41,130
grief and loss, toxic
relationships, and so much more.

17
00:00:41,130 --> 00:00:43,650
Not to mention the animation
is absolutely stunning,

18
00:00:43,650 --> 00:00:45,487
and the music is so beautiful.

19
00:00:45,487 --> 00:00:47,750
"Steven Universe" recently
had its series finale,

20
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:50,620
so now's the time to
binge the whole thing.

21
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:53,290
Bonus tidbit: the plot
twist in Season Five

22
00:00:53,290 --> 00:00:56,233
is worth watching the
series alone, trust me.

23
00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:00,210
Grammy nominated artist Jessie
Reyez is without a doubt

24
00:01:00,210 --> 00:01:02,910
one of the most talented
singers out right now.

25
00:01:02,910 --> 00:01:05,543
At me if you want, but I said what I said.

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,870
She has this powerful, soulful voice

27
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:11,490
that's impossible to
deny and that she brought

28
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:13,687
in full force to her debut studio album

29
00:01:13,687 --> 00:01:15,330
"Before Love Came to Kill Us."

30
00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:16,770
Definitely give the album a spin,

31
00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:18,560
and make sure you check
out my recent interview

32
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,877
with Jessie on Fast Company's

33
00:01:19,877 --> 00:01:22,180
"Creative Conversation" podcast.

34
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:23,660
Since the COVID-19 outbreak,

35
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:26,580
we've seen shortages of
hand sanitizer, toilet paper

36
00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:29,730
for still some inexplicable
reason, and yeast.

37
00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:31,440
Yes, yeast.

38
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,620
Apparently being stuck at
home has led many people

39
00:01:33,620 --> 00:01:34,950
to start baking.

40
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:37,920
Not to be that guy, but
I was way into baking

41
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,250
before everyone else, and
to be perfectly honest,

42
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:43,380
this has become my baking Bible.

43
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:45,650
Bien Cuit is an amazing bakery in Brooklyn

44
00:01:45,650 --> 00:01:48,130
owned by world-renown
baker Zachary Golper.

45
00:01:48,130 --> 00:01:50,650
His whole process relies
on long, slow fermentation

46
00:01:50,650 --> 00:01:53,660
of the dough, and baking the
bread until it's bien cuit,

47
00:01:53,660 --> 00:01:55,650
which means well done in French.

48
00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:57,640
Yes, I have Rosetta Stone.

49
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,370
The result is basically the
best bread you've ever had

50
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:01,850
in your life.

51
00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:04,134
Roll that beautiful bread footage.

52
00:02:04,134 --> 00:02:06,830
(upbeat music)

53
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:07,890
I baked those.

54
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:10,080
So definitely make sure
you order this book,

55
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,630
and as for finding yeast, well, good luck,

56
00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:17,530
or as the French would
say, "Bonne chance."

57
00:02:17,530 --> 00:02:19,708
I am so good at French.

58
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:22,291
(upbeat music)

59
00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:31,170
- The title of this tweet
is "Quarantine Day Six."

60
00:02:32,845 --> 00:02:37,260
I probably laughed for
like 45 full seconds

61
00:02:37,260 --> 00:02:38,663
watching that tweet.

62
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360
So that's the hardest part: cabin fever.

63
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,910
A couple days ago, we
announced to the team

64
00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:47,572
that we're doing a $500 work from home

65
00:02:47,572 --> 00:02:51,800
like work station reimbursement,

66
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,100
so if folks need to get a chair

67
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:58,070
or one of these awesome Amazon things

68
00:02:58,070 --> 00:03:00,039
or whatever it is to
help you work from home,

69
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:03,640
we're now doing that,
which I think is important

70
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:04,860
'cause a lot of folks like me

71
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:06,510
are not set up to work from home.

72
00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:08,610
I prefer working from the office,

73
00:03:08,610 --> 00:03:10,700
but there are some things I
like about working from home.

74
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:12,240
I like that I get to see my wife more.

75
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,880
I love my wife, and we
get to eat together,

76
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,280
and we get to have meals together,

77
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,930
and I just get to see her
all day which is wonderful.

78
00:03:20,930 --> 00:03:21,823
I like that.

79
00:03:22,887 --> 00:03:25,770
I also like being generally

80
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:28,290
like not surrounded by
people all the time.

81
00:03:28,290 --> 00:03:29,360
I am an introvert,

82
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,370
and I get my best work
done when I'm alone.

83
00:03:32,370 --> 00:03:34,400
Yeah, I kind of like being alone.

84
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,757
That's a nice part of it.

85
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:38,424
(upbeat music)
