I promise. Okay?

182
00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:53,432
Okay, I swear I
stocked these last night.

183
00:09:53,562 --> 00:09:55,390
You did.

184
00:09:55,521 --> 00:09:58,176
I had a slight accident
with the delivery to Milton's.

185
00:09:58,306 --> 00:10:00,526
A-ha.

186
00:10:00,656 --> 00:10:01,851
I thought I saw some cinnamon
bun glaze on the sidewalk.

187
00:10:01,875 --> 00:10:03,877
Still?
- Yeah.

188
00:10:04,008 --> 00:10:05,550
I should clean that up.
- Oh, no, no, I'll get it.

189
00:10:05,574 --> 00:10:06,595
You have your
vlog shoot today, right?

190
00:10:06,619 --> 00:10:09,056
I do, but it's my mess.

191
00:10:09,187 --> 00:10:11,754
Okay. Well, anything damaged,
besides my pastries?

192
00:10:11,885 --> 00:10:13,254
You know, it was actually
one of the more...

193
00:10:13,278 --> 00:10:15,149
enjoyable accidents
I've ever had.

194
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,585
Oh, go on.

195
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:18,413
Nah.

196
00:10:18,544 --> 00:10:21,634
Aaron!

197
00:10:21,764 --> 00:10:23,679

leave me hanging like...

[sighing]
Hi.

199
00:10:28,858 --> 00:10:30,643
It's message boards

200
00:10:30,773 --> 00:10:32,471
dedicated
to every kind of cuisine.

201
00:10:32,601 --> 00:10:35,952
It's video instruction.
It's master classes.

202
00:10:36,083 --> 00:10:37,803
There's nothing like it
out there, is there?

203
00:10:37,911 --> 00:10:39,521
You're into
food and cooking, right?

204
00:10:39,652 --> 00:10:41,652
Yes, I love good food.
I was in New York for years.

205
00:10:41,741 --> 00:10:43,003
Do you cook?
- Um...

206
00:10:43,134 --> 00:10:44,787
You would be in charge

207
00:10:44,918 --> 00:10:47,007
of marketing a food and
cooking-based company.

208
00:10:47,138 --> 00:10:50,402
At one point, I did a lot of
cooking and baking, but...

209
00:10:50,532 --> 00:10:52,293
I'm sold on you
based on your CV and work alone,

210
00:10:52,317 --> 00:10:53,666
but they have a board.

211
00:10:53,796 --> 00:10:55,624
You'd have to sell them, too.

212
00:10:55,755 --> 00:10:57,757
And they want people

213
00:10:57,887 --> 00:10:59,976
with some kind of
hands-on food experience.

214
00:11:00,107 --> 00:11:01,543
I think you're
a solid candidate.

215
00:11:01,674 --> 00:11:03,719
They want to meet with you.

216
00:11:03,850 --> 00:11:05,393
Wait. Well, it has to be
after the holidays.

217
00:11:05,417 --> 00:11:07,158
I'm here with family

218
00:11:07,288 --> 00:11:09,116
that I haven't spent
Christmas with for years.

219
00:11:09,247 --> 00:11:12,337
Um, I can't leave.
I hope you understand.

220
00:11:12,467 --> 00:11:14,774
They'll need something
sooner than the holidays.

221
00:11:14,904 --> 00:11:17,124
Make a video preparing
some kind of food.

222
00:11:17,255 --> 00:11:20,040
Cook it, bake it.
Something impressive.

223
00:11:20,171 --> 00:11:21,235
Then, we'll do
an online conference

224
00:11:21,259 --> 00:11:22,651

225
00:11:22,782 --> 00:11:24,697
Uh, okay.

226
00:11:24,827 --> 00:11:27,091
We'll talk soon.
- Okay, thank you.

00:11:30,703 --> 00:11:34,881
Uh, it was...
It was great, I think.

230
00:11:35,011 --> 00:11:37,579
Uh, they want me to
send them - I kid you not -

231
00:11:37,710 --> 00:11:40,234
proof I can cook.

232
00:11:40,365 --> 00:11:42,541
Well, I've seen you cook.
You can do this.

233
00:11:42,671 --> 00:11:44,586
Yeah, when we were kids.

234
00:11:44,717 --> 00:11:46,390
I haven't cooked anything
without a microwave in years.

235
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:48,329
You used to cook with Grammy.

236
00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:49,852
Her Christmas fruit tart, yeah.

237
00:11:52,507 --> 00:11:54,379
We made that
together every year.

238
00:11:54,509 --> 00:11:56,946
So, you can do it.
It's just like riding a bicycle.

239
00:11:57,077 --> 00:11:59,427
You just need to practice.
And I have tons of cookbooks.

240
00:11:59,558 --> 00:12:01,238
I don't think it's
going to be that simple.

241
00:12:01,342 --> 00:12:03,382
I need to make a video.
It has to look professional.

242
00:12:03,475 --> 00:12:04,626
Okay, you've made
commercials for years

243
00:12:04,650 --> 00:12:05,912
with the advertising agency.

244
00:12:06,042 --> 00:12:07,783
How is this a problem?

245
00:12:07,914 --> 00:12:09,805
I also had a budget
and crew and hired directors.

246
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:11,483
Right.
- Right.

247
00:12:11,613 --> 00:12:13,224
You guys want to see
what I found online?

248
00:12:13,354 --> 00:12:14,810
Yeah.
- It's that guy from the bakery.

249
00:12:14,834 --> 00:12:16,140
Wait, Aaron?

250
00:12:16,270 --> 00:12:18,577
Yeah. He's really good.

251
00:12:18,707 --> 00:12:19,987
I'm not saying
these are the best

252
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,208

253
00:12:21,232 --> 00:12:23,408
but they might be.

254
00:12:23,538 --> 00:12:27,368
Big, soft, fluffy,
and absolutely delicious. Mmm!

255
00:12:27,499 --> 00:12:29,283
You'll never go
back to any other recipe

256
00:12:29,414 --> 00:12:31,067
once you've tried this one.

257
00:12:31,198 --> 00:12:33,461
I'll show you how it's done.

258
00:12:34,897 --> 00:12:36,638
See?
He's good.

259
00:12:36,769 --> 00:12:39,250
Mm-hmm. He is.

260
00:12:39,380 --> 00:12:41,513
Wait. This could be your answer.

261
00:12:41,643 --> 00:12:43,732
Plus, he could probably
teach you a few things.

262
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:45,710
He always has posters up
at the bakery about classes.

263
00:12:45,734 --> 00:12:47,867
I don't know
if I have time for classes.

264
00:12:47,997 --> 00:12:50,317
Right. And is he even offering
classes during the holidays?

265
00:12:50,348 --> 00:12:51,610
Oh, there's that.
- Yeah.

266
00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:53,786
I can check.

267
00:12:56,441 --> 00:12:58,834
Here it is.
Looks like we lucked out.

268
00:12:58,965 --> 00:13:03,099
The last class is tomorrow,
and you can sign up online.

Wait. How much?

That's a good question.

360
00:17:03,732 --> 00:17:07,040
So, cooking is all
feel and experimentation,

361
00:17:07,170 --> 00:17:09,956
but baking is a science.

362
00:17:10,086 --> 00:17:12,654
Oh. So, a pinch...

A pinch, which...

00:17:14,482 --> 00:17:17,529
Okay.

365
00:17:17,659 --> 00:17:19,574

you can comfortably fit

and forefinger.

So, you make, like,
commercials, TV stuff?

373
00:17:42,336 --> 00:17:44,469
Yes and no.
I, um...

374

I designed ad campaigns
and marketing plans.

00:44:49,809 --> 00:44:52,638
Absolutely.

Hey, Aaron, do you want to
come take a look at this?

898
00:44:55,337 --> 00:44:57,017
Oh, hey, Megan,
you're actually the expert.

899
00:44:57,078 --> 00:44:58,229
You want to look at this, too?

900
00:44:58,253 --> 00:44:59,776
Sure thing.

901
00:45:03,562 --> 00:45:04,346
Ronald thinks we need a website.

902
00:45:04,476 --> 00:45:05,913
Yeah, I do.

903
00:45:06,043 --> 00:45:07,479
Wait, you don't
have one already?

904
00:45:07,610 --> 00:45:08,959
Nope.

Uh, this is just the address
and hours of operation.

That's all I need.

No buttons for online orders

to connect to delivery apps?

I've been telling him.

all that other stuff.

really drive business your way.

Ah, you're not a fan of... websites.

which was
a restaurant in the big city

that we could open together, and
eventually turn into a chain.
