0:09.5 | Stacking good days out there, staying off social media and the news as much as possible to maintain sanity. |
0:16.7 | Let's have some fun. I have a question. |
0:25.7 | Why are all of you people suddenly making sourdough bread? Like when did everyone become a baker? Baking sourdough bread? My wife sent me an |
