| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, what's up? Welcome to Side Us All School. My name is Chris Gellabo. |
| 0:09.2 | Welcome as well to our throwback Thursday segment, also known as Where Are They Now? |
| 0:14.0 | In this segment we take an in-depth look at someone whose story has evolved since we first featured them. |
| 0:19.3 | Recent adventures in this segment have included neurogum, which is effectively performance |
| 0:24.6 | energy in the form of chewing gum, a seven-figure handkerchief business that pivots to face masks |
| 0:30.6 | during COVID, and eco-friendly candles that were featured on Good Morning America. They were also |
| 0:36.8 | featured on Side Us All School. I'm sure they were more excited about that than GMA, but hey, |
| 0:41.6 | everything is good. Today in our latest feature we'll visit Toronto, Canada, at least virtually, |

| 1:50.0 | baked goods and custom cakes. I had also been baking growing up for one day, I was just at home, |
| 1:55.4 | and I felt this push to do something creative, and just like a lot of people, I went down this rabbit |
| 2:00.4 | hole of watching YouTube videos and landed on some cake tutorials. I was like, you know what, |
| 2:05.9 | let's give this a shot, so I bought cake mix and whatever decorations that I could find at the |
| 2:10.7 | grocery store and made my first cake. I had so much fun, and I wanted to keep practicing, |
