What's the name of the wine that tastes so fine? Guild wine. Guild wine. Yes, Guild wine. It's made by the men, most important thing. I'm sure you'll agree it has what it takes to make you want to sing. Gee. John J. Malone. Hip motion pictures. Now for the first time you can enjoy his baffling stories over the air. As the makers of Guild wine bring you the adventures of fiction's most famous criminal lawyer. In Murder and Mr. Malone. Counselor in Law. They say one of the qualifications of a good lawyer is a sense of humor. I wouldn't know about that. For example, I never could appreciate the humor of a certain Mr. Charles Morgan. Morgan was a big time gambler in Chicago whose practical jokes I found a little too strong for my tastes. And on this Saturday afternoon, Morgan and the beautiful blonde model named Linda Stevens were planning one of his best. And the car parked in front of the Club 86 on Chicago's south side. Now you understand what you're supposed to do, Linda? Well, I'm not too sure, Mr. Morgan. No, it's a matter with you anyway.  Look, Mr. Morgan, I don't need a job that badly. Oh, I'm sorry, Linda. I didn't mean that.  I want to make sure it goes off of schedule. Well, the more I hear this joke, the less I like it. I tell you, there's nothing to worry about. His fellow's a good friend of mine. Well, then why do something as silly as that? Just to settle a bet. He thinks he's a great little man with the ladies and I bet on 50 bucks he was wrong. But, Mr. Morgan, you promised me 100 for this job. How can you possibly win? You don't understand. It's not the money. It's the principle of the thing. I just want to make a sucker out of Davis. Yeah, his name's Paul Davis.  He won't have any trouble spotting them. He owns a joint. He'll be in a corner booth. But, uh, suppose your friend doesn't show any interest in me. You haven't taken a good look at yourself in the mirror lately, have you, baby? I'm not at all worried. When Davis sees you, he'll start baying at the moon. But at the beginning, you want me to act in some way. Right. That's so he shouldn't become suspicious. Then, thaw out and let him buy you a couple of drinks. And after that? Well, he probably want to take you out for the evening.  I don't think I like that, Mr. Morgan. What's that I not like? Perfectly on the up and up. When you get to your place, I'll be waiting for you. And that's where you're going to tell Mr. Davis if just a joke? Yeah. I can hardly wait to see him when he learns it's a game.  What do you live anyway, Linda? Oh, it's just the next floor, Mr. Davis. Oh, I got it out.  I'm sorry. Paul, do you know a man named... A man named who? Oh, forget it.  When I first saw you in the club, I immediately said to myself, there's a game with class. I was surprised when you gave me a tumble. Well, I don't often do things like that. It was an impulse, eh? Yeah, I understand. I get them all the time. Huh? Where are we going now? Oh, it's this apartment right here. Oh, hey, hey, let me help you. No, it's all right, James. I can manage. Well, come in. Thanks. Hey, nice layout you got here, Linda. I, uh, think I'm going to like this. I wouldn't bet on that, Davis. Oh, then you do know each other.  Oh, no. He told me it was a joke. Well, the joke's over now, honey, so you can beat it. Now, see here, Mr. Robert. I said, beat it.  Now go on. I, uh, listen...  I don't want any conversation with you, Davis. Just want my dough. What dough? Don't Welsh. 60 grand, yummy. Oh, that. What did you think I was talking about? Well, you see, I'm kind of low, Morgan. I've been running the tough luck lately. From now on, it's going to get worse.  A man in my position can't afford that, Davis. Might give other people ideas. Look, Morgan, I suppose I pay you a little at a time. What do you call a little? I can give you a 10 grand now and the balance makes... Keep your hands down. I was just going to get my wallet. You got that dough on you? Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, let's have it. Oh, sure, sure. I was going to give it to you all the time. All right, Morgan.  Put away that gun, Davis. Thank your age. Well, Mr. Morgan, who's the joker now? I guess it's me. And you're not kitten. That's okay, Davis. I'll see you again. Now lay yards. Next time you won't be this lucky. Of course, you'll enjoy it. After Morgan goes to all that trouble, Davis pulls a gun on him and leaves him with his tongue hanging out. That's very amusing, Hudson. What happened after that? Oh, Morgan started looking for him again. What do you think will happen if he finds him this time? The same thing, Mr. Lyons.  Eh, Morgan's all talk. You think so? I know so. I wouldn't last this long as a private dick if I wasn't a good judge of character. Take it from me, Mr. Lyons. It's all a bluff. That's too bad, Hudson. It would be worth a lot of money to me if it weren't. Oh, how much is, uh... is a lot of money? What's the difference? You're not interested. Try me. $2,500. You're right, you're right. At that price, I'm not interested. It isn't worth more. Everybody knows that Morgan has threatened Davis. Absolutely no risk. Eh, what have you, uh... what have you got against Davis, anyway? That is none of your business. Either you want the job or you don't. Well, as long as you put it on that basis, Mr. Lyons, let me take it over. Hello, Victor. This is Mr. Davis. Oh, yes, Mr. Davis. Uh, I'm in a phone boat at the corner of the state in 46th. Uh, anybody been around to join the asking for me? Several gentlemen. What'd you tell them? That I hadn't heard from you all day. Oh, good, good. Uh, is Norma there? Who? My wife. No, Mrs. Davis has not been in all evening. Well, once she gets there, tell her that... Hey, cut that out! What's the trouble, Mr. Davis? Uh, some character's in a hurry. Use the phone. Hold it a second, Victor. I'll take care of this person. Listen, you, how would you like a good punch in the nose, there? He's out! No wine can be better than the grapes that go into it. And that's where Gild California wine comes in. Gild wine always starts from good grapes. Because Gild wine is made by the men who grow their own grapes. After all, when a man grows grapes, knowing they're to be used in his own wine, isn't he likely to give them more care than the grower who sells his crop on the open market? It is more than 630 of these men, all growing grapes for their own wine to be made in the Gild wine sellers they all own together who form the cooperative wine growers' guild. If you'd like to try their wine, ask for Gild wine. It's made by the men who grow their own grapes. That's G-U-I-L-D, Gild wine. Look for the big red man on the label. And now back to Gild wine's presentation of Murder and Mr. Malone. Well, as you probably guessed, Paul Davis never did complete that phone call. 35 minutes later, he was on a slab in the morgue in the cops in Chicago without looking at the Charles Morgan. But apparently they weren't looking in the right places, for when I came home that afternoon, I found my door unlocked. I was soon ahead, I opened it, and I was challenged with it. Thank you, Malone. What the devil?  Now listen, Morgan.  Just keep your hands right where they are. What are you doing here? I'm hot. I haven't you heard. That still doesn't answer my question. I don't see why not. I wanted for murder. You're the best lawyer in Chicago. Doesn't that add up? Not to my liking, Morgan. You better get somebody else. Listen, Malone, maybe I haven't handled it right, but I didn't kill Davis. Now why don't you tell that to the police? You don't think for a minute they believe me. Suppose I told you that I don't either. Listen, Malone, I know you don't like me, but give me credit for a little intelligence.  So?  No, I didn't. I have no idea. Okay, Morgan, I'll see what I can do for you, but first, I want you to surrender to the cops. Oh, no. And it's no deal. No, wait a minute, Malone. I'll make you a proposition. I'm not interested. Oh, but Pete, give me a chance. Well, yeah. Thought a man has presumed innocent that he found guilty. Do you lawyers just say that because it sounds good? Well, we haven't... I'm convinced with any luck you can clean this up in a couple of hours. If you happen by then, I'll give myself up. What are you doing in the meantime? Stay right here. Now, what's to prevent me from walking out and calling the police? Nothing. Oh, you just trust me, huh? That's right. Alice is against my better judgment, Morgan, but you got yourself a lawyer. Yes? Mrs. Norma Davis? That's right. My name is John J. Malone. I'm sorry to bother you at a time like this, but I'd like to ask you some questions about your husband. I've told the police everything I know. I'm working on a different angle. Come in. Thank you.   Yes. Charles Morgan. I mean besides Morgan. No. Paul didn't have an enemy in the world. Well, you know, that's not true, Mrs. Davis. Your husband wasn't exactly the most popular citizen in Chicago.  I won't have you talk that way about him. I'm tired of these insinuations. What do you know of the kind of man Paul was? I'm sorry. Oh, no. Sorry. Go on and get out. Mrs. Davis. I don't want to hear any more about it. Leave me alone. Meet me to congratulate you, Norma. That was a marvelous performance. Thank you, Raymond. You think I convinced Mr. Malone that I was a heartbroken widow? How could you help it when you practically convinced me? Come here, darling. Let me console you. I'm looking for a guy named Hudson. Well, look no further, Mr. Morgan. You, Hudson. That's right. One of my friends told me you wanted to see me. He told you right. Care for a drink? Yeah, I could stand one. Help yourself. The bar's in the corner. Pour me one while you're at it. All right. You're in a bad spot, Morgan. Bring me up here to tell me that? Yeah. You see, I know who killed Paul Davis. What? You heard him. That one might? Yeah. How, uh... How you fix for cash? What do you mean? I got a lot of information this cell, and it's going to the highest bidder. You mean you can clear me? I'm not doing any more talking until I see the color of, uh... the color of your dough. How do I know you've got merchants? Oh, I'll give you a sample. Did you know that Davis' wife was two-time in him? With whom? That's, uh, that's all you get for free. But, uh, you can use that kind of stuff, can't you? Listen, Hudson, I want you to talk to Malone. Who? John Jay. He's representing me. Are you kidding? No. Can you talk to him? Oh, sure. Provide and I can make a buck. Don't worry. I'll take care of you. Now, I'm going back to Malone's apartment. I want you to call him there in about 45 minutes. Tell him what you told me about Mrs. Davis. Oh, no good. No good. Get the dough up first. Now, look, Hudson, I only got a grand on me. I'll give you another four the next time I see you. Okay, Morgan, you got yourself a deal. Vincent, this is Mr. Malone. There was a man waiting in my apartment by any chance. Never mind. Come in. I was just asking for you, Morgan. Where the devil have you been? I'll... That tells me a lot. I thought you agreed to stay right here. I know, but I had to see some. Who? Suppose you tell me what you found out first. Yeah, not very much. Every lead I explored came back to you. Did you see Mrs. Davis? Yeah, just for a few minutes. What did you think of her? She seemed all broken up over her husband's murder.  It makes you think so.  She's been holding hands with some guy who wasn't her husband. Where did you get that from? Private Dick, named Joe Hudson. Oh, that lying... I don't care what he is, Malone. He's got the evidence to clear me. What did he say killed Davis? He wouldn't tell me. But I made a promise to talk to you. I should be calling you any minute. Morgan, I wouldn't trust that guy in a stack of Bibles. What did you give him? Give? Yeah, a guy like Hudson doesn't talk for free. What did you promise him? Five grand.   That's probably him now. Hello. That you, Malone? Yeah, that's right, Hudson. I take it that you've talked to Morgan. Yeah? Well, what do you think? What I think is unimportant. Morgan tells me you can clear him. Sure, for a price. Oh, well, I'm not interested. You gotta talk to him, Morgan. I don't like it, Morgan. Neither do I, but if this guy can save me... Well, make up your minds, boys. Okay, Hudson. We'll be over in an hour. It must be down the hall. No, no, here it is.  You're the doctor. What's keeping him? I don't know. Maybe one hour, huh? Oh, I doubt that. How can you tell? Take a peek at that keyhole. Can't see a thing. Yeah, because the key's still in the light. That mean Hudson's gotta be in there. Hey, Hudson, open up! Hudson! Morgan, give me a hand. What are you gonna do? Take it down. Shouldn't take too much effort, either. Let's go. One more should do it. Here. Hudson! Hudson! Now the devil is at light switch. He's somewhere around the door. Watch yourself, Morgan. Wait till I strike a match. I got it. There we are. Come along. Ah, yeah. You see, Dave... He's either that or asleep. And with that knife in his back... What do you think? Well, listening to Murder and Mr. Malone. Presentation of Guild. If you're planning a dessert bridge party, you want to serve something that, one, goes with sweets. Two, has a luscious flavor. And three, appeals especially to women. Well, that something is Guild, California muscatel. For Guild muscatel, one, tastes grand with all cookies, cakes, pies, and other sweets. Two, has the fruity flavor and aroma of the muscat grape. And three, is such a favorite with women. It's known as the wine women like most. So, there you have it. Guild muscatel, the perfect wine for a dessert bridge. Beautiful, golden-hued, crushed from plump grapes that are grown right on the Guild members' own vineyards in California's sunny San Joaquin Valley. Remember, that's Guild muscatel. G-U-I-L-D. Look for the big red man on the label. And now, back to Guildwine's presentation of Murder and Mr. Malone. Twenty minutes after we found the body of Joe Hudson, Lieutenant McGraw of Cook County Homicide arrived. You should have seen his face light up when he spied Morgan. He acted like a man who was prospecting for silver and found gold. There's a nice piece of work, Malone. A very nice piece of work. All right, Morgan, let's go. Hold it, Lieutenant. He's not the reason I called you. No, I know, but I'm not complaining. I told you not to call him Malone. I'm beginning to think you're right, Morgan. For the same nickel, I could have phoned somebody with brains. What kind of a crax hat? Well, in case you haven't noticed, Lieutenant, there's a body lying on that sofa. Yeah, it'll keep. But as long as you raise the point, why did you kill him, Morgan?  I just got here with Malone. Now, hand me that. It's the truth, McGraw. So you're gonna be his alibi.  Oh, yes. How long would you say Hudson was dead? Not too long. The body's still warm. Could have been anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 quarters of an hour. Well, that lets Morgan up. But I don't see how. Because he was with me every minute from the time I got Hudson's call or the time we broke down the door. The whole business took at least an hour. Your word's not good enough, Malone. Okay, if you don't believe me, you can check with the switchboard at my place in the dormant downstairs. Yeah, I'll do that. If that's not enough, I'll dig up the hacky who drove us over. Well, that still doesn't mean Morgan couldn't have killed Davis. Oh, use your head, Lieutenant. You know both these murders were committed by the same party. Hudson knew who it was. That's why he was killed. I still say it was Morgan. You're crazy. Hudson was gonna clear me. Keep quiet, Morgan. All right, Lieutenant. I'll advise him to confess if you can show me one thing. What's that? How did he get in here? You can see the only door was locked from the inside. So what? He could have used the window. Oh, yeah? Oh, take a look. There are bars on it. That's right. And nobody but a midget could fit through the open. Then there must be another door. Forget it. There isn't. Well, then it was a physical impossibility for anybody to kill Hudson. Yet it was done. How? I can't tell you, but maybe I can take you to the little lady who can. All right, now listen, Milona. If the DA ever finds out I let Morgan go, he'll have my... Wait a minute. Isn't this the house where Paul Davis lived? That's right, Lieutenant. Well, you can't bother his wife now. Why not? Because her husband was just murdered. Oh. Well, she may surprise you with what she knows about it. Morgan told me she was being romanced by some character. Who's that? I think it's David Davis. Yes. Me, McGraw. I have a... Yes? Hello, Mrs. Davis. Remember me? Oh, not too pleasantly. Oh, may we come in? I'm sorry, Mr. Malone. I'm busy. This gentleman would like to ask you a couple of questions. This gentleman means nothing in my own life. You never can tell. He's a lieutenant in the Cook County Police. Well, it is just that the house is in such a mess. Well, we promise not to stare. Norma! I... I think you're being paged, baby. It's... It's nothing, Raymond. For a moment, darling, I was... Hello, Lyons. Malone. Lieutenant, I can explain everything. Sure you can, but suppose we do it downtown, huh? Downtown. It's customary, Mrs. Davis, when the police are questioning suspects. But we've done absolutely nothing. Nothing but murder your husband and a man named Joe Hudson. That's a lie. Do you deny that you and Lyons were busy in the romance department behind your husband's back? Yes. And what's Lyons doing here now? He's just helping me. Like he helped you murder Joe Hudson? No! Just a moment, Mr. Malone. I thought this gentleman was the officer of the law. Yeah, you're right, Lyons. But if you think my questions are going to be any less embarrassing, you're in for a bad shock. Joe Hudson was murdered at 1045 tonight. Now, where were you at that time? With Norma here. That's right. Oh, now that's what I call a wonderful alibi, Lieutenant. Too bad there wasn't anyone else around to substantiate. Oh, but there was, Mr. Malone. A justice of the peace in Cicero. I think he may remember. Why should he? Because I gave him a hundred dollars to perform the marriage ceremony that made Norma here. Mrs. Lyons. It doesn't make sense, McGraw. Hey, will you watch while you're driving? I'll tell you there's something screwy about that marriage. You saw the license. Doesn't it strike you as strange that within 12 hours after a husband is murdered, Mrs. Davis marries another man? Of course it does, but there's no law against it. As an attorney, you ought to know that better than anybody else. Yeah, but an alibi like that must have a hole in it. Yeah, well, you show me where. And after you do that, show me how either Mrs. Davis or Lyons could have murdered Hudson.  Hold everything. Oh, what's the matter?  Well, they say confession's good for the soul. I tell you, I got the answer to all of it, Lieutenant. On the level, Milon? Yeah, I know who killed Hudson. And with the help of Morgan, I'm going to prove it. What you're driving at, Milon? I don't know anything about Mrs. Davis except what I told you before. Well, how did you discover she was seeing Lyons? I didn't know it was Lyons. All Hudson told me it was with some man. How well did you know Hudson? I met him for the first time today. He got in touch with one of my friends and said he wanted to see me. Oh, well, that puts us right back where we started. Well, why don't we drop the whole business, Milon? Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you? Sure. Cops know now I couldn't have killed Hudson. That's why you're wrong, Morgan. You mean they still... No, no. But I do. What are you babbling about? I know how you managed it. Do you? Yeah, it was pretty clever. I can't blame myself for not seeing it sooner. No wonder you insisted I go and see Hudson. I'm still waiting to hear you explain how I killed him. I'm saving that for the cops. Don't kid yourself, Milon. You've done all the talking you're going to. Oh, put away that gun, Morgan.  Funny, I don't see anybody around. You're not looking in the right place. Get on, Milon. I'm warning you, Morgan. You better throw your gun in the middle of the road. You want it, Lieutenant? Milon, he may be acting. Well, that hole in his forehead, Lieutenant, it doesn't call for much ability. You can drop me off at the corner, Lieutenant. Well, it's, uh, Ben Grant. Hold it just a minute, Milon. Aren't you forgetting something? I got a report to make. Well, who's stopping you? You are. Well, you know that Morgan killed David. Oh, sure. I was the first one to say so. Yeah, you should have stuck to your gun. Wow, when you tossed in all that razzle-dazzle about Hudson's murder, you kind of threw me. I don't feel too badly, Lieutenant. I was right with you. Of course, I'm reconstructing now, but this is what must have happened. Lions tried to hire Hudson to bump David. Hudson said he'd take it over. When Davis was killed, Hudson knew immediately that if he didn't do it, Morgan must have. Well, I don't see how that follows. It could have been Lion. Oh, no. If Lions were willing to do the job, why did he approach Hudson in the first place? Oh, no. It had to be Morgan. When Hudson realized that, he tried to shake down Morgan. He even told Morgan if the price were right, he might be induced to frame Davis' wife. So Morgan played along with him, asked him to get in touch with me. Now we're coming to the part I want to hear. Well, when Morgan went to meet Hudson, he knew it would be the first of many such meetings unless he took steps. So he slipped a Mickey into Hudson's drink.  Well, because he needed an alibi. And I was it. Well, I don't get it. It's pretty simple. He needed someone with him while he murdered Hudson. Why? Yeah. Remember you said it was a physical impossibility for anyone to get into that room and kill Hudson before Morgan and I broke down the door? Yeah, I remember you. Well, you hit the nail right on the head. It was a physical impossibility. So that means Hudson was killed while I was in the room. All right. Now let me get this straight, Mom. You mean while you were hunting for that light switch? Morgan was hunting for a place to plant his knife. Wasn't he taking quite a chance there? How? Hudson was drugged. He couldn't make an outcry. A knife doesn't make any noise at all. Yeah. Well, I'll learn you. Now the next time I say something, you'll listen. I told you, Morgan, was the killer all along, didn't I? Yeah. Well, you'll have to forgive me, Lieutenant. I haven't hearing so many radio shows. I forgot it wasn't unconstitutional for a cop to be right. Let's hope this establishes some sort of a precedent. He refused to pay protection money. He believed in freedom of enterprise. He learned the hard way that murder is a bad business. I'll fill you in on the details next week. So why not pick me up at my office at the same time? I'll be waiting for you. Good night. Frank Lovejoy was starred as John J. Malone and appeared through the courtesy of story production.

A quick and dirty little slideshow that just highlights some moments over the last four years, because that's actually when I started baking bread, was about four years ago. And I basically started baking because a friend who was traveling through San Francisco gave me a sourdough starter and he scribbled down some instructions. You know, I saw him, we were just chatting in my kitchen and I saw, he had a little yogurt container with a little brown lump in it and I was like, what are you doing with that? What is that? He said, it's sourdough, sourdough starter. He said, well, why do you have it? He said, because I bake bread. I like to bake bread. I'm traveling. I was like, but you can't bake good bread at home. And he kind of laughed. He said, yeah, you can. He wrote down some instructions on a piece of paper and, you know, within a week I tried it and I was just immediately smitten with baking. And I started doing it all the time. And I started doing it all the time, mostly because I loved the process of making a loaf of bread. I also love eating bread. But I could only eat so much bread. And so I started giving it away.  I was like, no, Michael, you don't need to pay me for it. He's like, no, really? I was like, that's a good idea. Yeah, give me your money, man. And very quickly, I realized that by selling the bread, I could bake more. And I could actually not be losing money. And so I think this, I started my blog in August of 2010. And I started baking in April. And I started selling bread to my coworkers over at UC Berkeley because five years before that, I was writing children's books and teacher's guides over at the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley. And they knew I was falling in love with baking because I was blabbing about it all the time. And I talked a few of them into this wacky idea I had of a bread subscription. I said, listen, you give me 20 bucks. I'll give you a loaf of bread every week for the next four weeks. And I got like 15 people to do it. And voila, so this is my first blog post. Holy moly, it's happening. Hi, friends. Holy moly, it's happening. I'm selling bread and people like it.  Not really, but I'm pumped up. So that was the beginning. And this is what's happening these days. This is in the mission. And this is a poster for Good Eggs, which is this really great company based here in San Francisco. And they're like an online farmer's market. And they were really influential to me because about a year in to baking my bread and doing my bread subscription, I'd quit my day job. I was going for it. But the bread subscription had become so much logistics to manage by myself and not really having ever done anything like this before. It was really taking up a lot of my time. And I had some bread sales that I was doing. The bread sales I was doing through the bar I was working and through a place where I was using their oven. And I stopped doing the bread subscription, but Good Eggs helped me pick that back up and helped me keep moving. Thanksgiving of 2010, I had a little article written about me in an online newsletter. It was just like, hey, there's this guy in the mission. He's baking bread, he's selling it out of this little shop. And I got a ton of emails from strangers saying, we want bread for Thanksgiving. Biggest bread for Thanksgiving. And I wasn't planning on doing that, but I don't like to let people down, so I went for it. And on Thanksgiving of 2010, I baked 60 loaves of bread in my home oven. It's funny, looking at these loaves of bread now, I'm like, oh my God, those look so crappy. But as you can see in my face, I was not thinking that then. I was just very excited as I am today, because all of you are here, and I know some of you, but I don't know a lot of you, so thank you again for coming. So that's me when I was baking bread at home, and I was still baking bread at home, which I know because I can tell by the way that loaf looks, but I was also working at this bar in the mission called Amnesia, and I would bring in the bread from my home, and I'd hide it under the bar, and I'd cut up a few slices like I did tonight, and I'd let people sample it, and after a few weeks of that, I'd have people coming in and saying, hey, is this where I can get the bread? Yes, it is. That's a little speakeasy bakery. But September 2010 to April 2011, because in April 2011 I said, screw this, I'm going in all the way. I'm going to quit my bartending job. I'm going to try to bake full time, and so that's about a year. It's about a year after I started baking, I said, I'm in. And I kind of, I was very scared to do it, but I put the pressure on myself to not have any other source of income so that I could really give it a go, because the reason I jumped into baking so lovingly is because I had this naive idea that my job could be something that I loved, because for whatever reason, it really stuck out to me how often I heard about people working eight hours a day doing something that they didn't like or they didn't find meaningful. And I said, I got to at least try, you know? And so I tried. And that's me at Mission Pie, which was this amazing pie, it is this amazing pie bakery in the Mission, and once I quit the bartending, I knew I needed to really go for it, and I needed a real oven. So I started walking around the neighborhood just going into bakeries and saying, hey, can I rent space from you when you're not using your oven? And most places were like, no, goodbye. But one place, two places, eventually one place in the Mission, Mission Pie, I went by a few times with Loaves of Bread each time, sort of reminding them that I was still interested, and Karen and Kristen, two really amazing women, eventually said, okay, let's give it a shot. You come in here once a week, you can come in between these and these hours, and you can only use this space, and you have to have 10 Loaves available for walk-in customers, because I was mostly doing the bread subscription at that point, and within a few months, I was selling 100 Loaves out of there a day, and we said, okay, let's do it two days a week. So I'm doing it two days a week there. I met another very generous man, Charlie, who owns Pizzaiolo over in Oakland, and we started doing the same thing over there, where I wasn't an employee of these businesses, I would rent space from them to run my business. Because I didn't want anybody telling me how to do it, because that was really part of the fun for me, was figuring out how to make the whole thing work. And part of making the whole thing work was delivering it around town on my bicycle, and so this was my setup for a while. Sometimes I'd bring everything with me. I'd make the bread, and then I'd bring everything away and deliver it around town, and so I had different pickup spots for my bread subscription at offices around town and different stores. I started selling it from Buy Right Market. One thing I don't have a picture of, which is good, is one day I had this stack piled up really high. I think I had about 100 Loaves of bread, and I went around a corner a little too tight, and I saw it in the driver's face before I knew what was going on. They went like this. I was like, what did they do? And I fell over. It was very sad to really bum me out, and obviously I couldn't bring that bread to people. So that summer, 2011, this guy emails me, who is a buddy, his name is Jeremy. He's the owner and founder of Four Barrel Coffee, which was a great cafe, Roastry on Valencia Street that I frequented and dropped off Loaves of bread. He emails me, and he says, hey, Josie, I've got an idea, and I got a space, and I want to know if you want to work on a project together. And he brings me to this place on Devisadero. This place right here, which it actually looks cooler here than it did when he first showed it to me. When he first showed it to me, it was just this totally abandoned, very messy market. He said, let's do a project together. I'll run the cafe and you can run the bakery. What do you think? And I was like, Jeremy, I have no idea what I'm doing. But yes, let's do it. I just got to let you know I have some things planned, so I'm going to need to be gone for periods of time. He said, no, that's fine, we'll figure it out. So I have some things planned. I like to have fun. This is me at Burning Man, shooting a flamethrower into the sky. I also went on a trip with my now-fiancee. We're actually getting married in a couple of weeks, but we traveled around Southeast Asia together for two months. I planned this trip to Southeast Asia with my girlfriend, and then Jeremy from Forberall says, hey, do you want to open a cafe bakery with me? I say, yes, I do. Right after that, I get a book deal. And so it was very exciting to have these opportunities, just like popping up. But I still really wanted to go to Southeast Asia and see things like this and do things like this. I don't know if you can see, up there, doing some rock climbing. This is the ocean down here. This is in Thailand, I believe. Shortly after this, I fell into the water like that. This is in Laos, on a river. Okay, so anyway. And so I come back from the months away, and the place still looks like this, you know? And I'm like, oh, right, right. I'm gonna have to get my hands dirty in this thing. And so I spent a lot of time in that space helping to turn it into what it is today. I learned how to tile, which I don't know if any of you have been to the mill, but it's got a lot of tile in it, and me and a few other people did that. There's some of that tile. And so we opened about a year ago, and it's funny that bread rack, that bread rack has gotten a lot bigger, because we now make a lot more bread than we did at the beginning. And so about three weeks after we opened, we shot all of the photographs for my book. I worked with this great photographer here in San Francisco, Aaron Kunkel. And this is me in her studio taking some photos. She took all the photos in the book. This is just, you know, imposing. It wasn't great timing, because as you can imagine, you know, opening a business, a bread bakery, took up a lot of my time and energy, and putting photography of a book on top of that was really challenging. But we got it done. So I think there's a photograph coming up that might be disturbing to some people, so I'm going to go a little quickly, but it conveys a really unfortunate thing that happened to me that I did to myself about two months after we opened. I fell off my bicycle, and I went ahead and I posted this picture of myself on Instagram while I was in the dentist's office. There we go. Yeah, so, yeah, I won't dwell on that one. But yeah, it was really, really challenging. Obviously it's challenging to have that happen at any point in your life, but, you know, I had to take a big step away from the business and had to heal myself, and luckily I had a team of people that were amazingly committed and talented and they didn't skip a beat while I disappeared for a week and a half. And I would wander in there, you know, every couple days and try to be helpful as much as I could, but I was really, I was pretty loopy. The fork on my bicycle broke and I took a face plant in Golden Gate Park and, you know, woke up in an ambulance and yada-yada. It was terrifying. But at the end of it, I got new teeth and they actually are better looking than they were before, so I'm grateful for it. And yeah, I mean, every day, we are trying as hard as we can to make the bread better than the day before. And we don't always do it, but hopefully over time, you know, the goal is to every day to be able to honestly say, this is the best bread ever. So this was a particularly pretty loaf. You get it? They're loafers. And so there's that thing, that little slice that we had no idea what a stir that was going to create. We started serving toast at the... We actually, so we had a tent set up inside of the mill for the seven months before we opened. And you know, I'm a bread baker and so I would bring in loaves of bread and serve them as slices of toast, which is how I eat the bread often. And it just seemed to make sense to serve it up as toast. Little did we know that it would become very popular, but it would also become very controversial. And there was a few pieces of press that came out that accused us of ruining San Francisco with our toast. And, you know, the article brought up some really serious issues, the rising cost of living in San Francisco. The city is changing now, as it has been, and as it will continue to. And it's becoming increasingly unaffordable for some people, and that's a problem, and a really complex one that I don't have the answers to, but it's a conversation that needs to continue to occur. I don't think that my toast is the reason for that. Nevertheless, something that I think my toast is a part of is a conversation around what the true cost of food is and the way that we've chosen to prepare our toast, just like the way Forberal has chosen to prepare their coffee, just like the way lots of restaurants and businesses here in the Bay Area and beyond choose to go about their craft, is it's expensive, and it's labor intensive, and our ingredients cost more than mass produced low quality foods. And I don't make any claims about everybody in the world needing to come to the mill and eat our toast the way that we choose to do it. Everyone is very free to eat or not eat toast, however they like, but if it's something that you find value in and you support the way that we run our business and the way that we conduct ourselves in our craft, then we'd love to share it with you, but no pressure. And recently I'm really excited about our pizza nights. We started doing pizza on Monday nights, and it's been really, really fun. Every Monday night it's like a party in there, and we just pick one vegetarian pizza to do each Monday, and it's been really great. And this is the mill from the outside, which is, other than my fiance, whom I'm about to become her husband, the mill is probably my closest relationship. And I know that was more of a autobiographical show, but just to give a little intro to the book, it's, in the grand scheme of things, I'm a beginning baker. I started baking four years ago, and I started writing the book a year and a half after I started baking. And so I really wrote it to the me of a couple years prior. And so the first chapter is a series of recipes and each one builds on the last. So the first recipe is called Your First Loaf of Bread. And it's just a bare bones, the simplest recipe that I could think of that would still get you to a nice home-baked loaf. Because I think the most important thing for someone who hasn't baked much bread or any bread is for that first experience, that first baking experience, for it to be encouraging. You're not trying to make the best loaf of bread in the world. You're trying to make a good loaf of bread. And then if you like it, you'll continue to do it because it's a really nice practice to be in the habit of. It's why I fell in love with it. So that's the first chapter. It starts off with your first loaf and each recipe gets a little bit more complex. And that's all with commercial yeast. And it starts off with a sandwich loaf. And then you get into mixing the dough in multiple stages and making loaves that are not in pans. And then we move on to sourdough bread. And then we get into all sorts of stuff, making bread with different grains, different flowers, pizza. The last chapter includes a bunch of recipes for sweets like cookies and scones and that kind of stuff. So my hope is that it has something for everybody. But really, my biggest goal is for it to help people who haven't baked that much to fall in love with it. Sure. Of what? Sure. Yeah, so I work with this really amazing small family company up in Petaluma called Central Milling, a quichousteau bakery supply. And they work with farms. I get wheat that's grown in Washington and in Oregon. My ryeberries come from Canada. But because we, taking on the milling, was a big enough task, ultimately I'd love to be sourcing the grains direct from farms.  That's just 100 miles south of San Francisco. But for the time being, it's too much for us to deal with. And so we work with this company and they source the grains and they do a really amazing job of it. And so basically we can say, hey, we're looking for this kind of stuff. Do you have anything you'd suggest? They say absolutely. So that's Central Milling up in Petaluma. And as far as bread machines, I think bread machines are great. They make it very, very convenient to make alofa bread. And it can be really hard. I think for lots of people, one of the biggest obstacles about baking bread at home is fitting it into your schedule. And so a bread machine can be really helpful for that. I think it's if you really want to get into it and get deep into making bread, you'll probably want to, or maybe not, I wanted to have more control over all of the phases of bread making. And so if you do have that curiosity, then maybe you'll do the bread machine bread sometimes and other times you'll do it. You do it all with yourself as the bread machine. But yeah, I got no problems with bread machines. Yeah. Yes, you sir? I have a two-part question. Okay. The first part is is bread good for you or bad for you? And the second part is, which is probably a better question. I like that. As part of an awesome nutritional, whatever, regime, where does bread fit in? Is it candy or is it like something you have every day? Awesome question. Yeah, I get asked this a lot and I think lots of people are asking themselves this question these days, especially as it relates to gluten and how it affects their body. And so I believe and I have experienced and I have heard from all people that I've talked about on this topic that whole grain sourdough bread is good for you. Factory made white bread that's made on a huge scale is not good for you. So my favorite bread to eat is a dark mountain rye bread. So that's 100% rye and it's 100% whole grain and it's 100% sourdough. And I don't have a ton of science to back it up. I have my own experience and the experience of my customers that it makes me feel good.  It's a nice question. It's kind of hard for me to believe that I'm part of that. But yeah, it's been very, very, very flattering to all of a sudden be considered a peer amongst these people who are really my heroes. And one of the things that I've, that I loved about baking from the very beginning was the sense of community among bakers. And we're a generous and friendly tribe, it seems. Yeah, I've always, I was just amazed at how willing other bakers were to share what they know and what they think about baking. And the nice thing about having a small bakery, a neighborhood bakery, is you're not trying to get too big a slice of the pie. And so we're not in competition with each other, you know? And there's so much room for more small bakeries in America, but absolutely in San Francisco. There's not a culture of small bakeries here, bread bakeries specifically. And I really am excited to see what happens as bread that's made in these ways becomes more and more popular and more and more people want to eat it because I think there's just going to be more and more of them bakeries. And I think it's going to be really great. It's going to be really exciting for everybody.


In this video we will look in simple terms how an electric motor works. You may wish to view these videos before we begin. You will have seen described before what happens when a wire carrying an electric current is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field. The direction of the field can be shown by Maxwell's corkscrew rule. If we add more wires, the resultant magnetic field builds up and becomes stronger. Placing these wires perpendicular to a magnetic field enables us to see how these force lines interact. Let's look at this setup from a different angle. Here we are looking down the wire. We can see a cross section of wires and the magnetic field running clockwise around it. Now we can see the permanent magnets and the magnetic field between them running from north to south. These magnetic fields interact. Above the wire these two fields run in opposite directions and so cancel each other out. Below the wire the fields run in the same direction and reinforce each other. The wire is pushed away from the strong field towards the weak one. So the wire will be pushed vertically upwards out of the magnetic field. This is the motor effect. Now reverse the current. This experiences a force in the opposite direction. Now place both wires in the same field. One wire will be pushed up, the other down, but we don't have circular motion yet. Now if we link the wires together and then insert a spindle to allow a rotation, we convert the opposing up down motion into a rotation and here you have an electric motor. Looping the wire around many times will increase the turning force on the motor. The clever bit is how to supply a current to a spinning coil so that it always flows in the same direction, ensuring that the upward and downward forces are always on the same side. This is done with a split ring commutator, but the exact details as to how this works we can leave for another time.

Rice gum? What are you doing man? What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that kind of stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell.  Do you want to know what you should do? You should go follow me on Instagram at the Rewired Soul because all I'm trying to do going into 2019 is hit 10,000 followers so I can get that beautiful swipe up feature in my stories. That's it. Come follow me over there for some extra mental health goodness and I take amazing pictures like these to show you my gorgeous cats. All right. But anyways, anyways, yeah, we're going to be talking about rice gum today. We're going to be talking about his channel. I'm not going to be diving into like rice gum controversies as him as a person. If you want that scoop, go watch the content cop. There's all that stuff. But yeah, I don't think rice gum is a good role model or anything like that. But I was actually inspired to write, not write to record this video talking about rice gum from one of my new favorite channels. It's not even a new channel, but the channel is Christopher Tom.  And I just now this morning went over to his channel. I started binge watching his stuff and oh my God, I'm going to link his channel down below and up at the info card. Go check his channel out. Like this, this kid, this kid is legit. One of my favorite commentators now, like one of my favorites. Like I was watching it and it's like a blend between like a YouTube commentary or even like internet culture commentary and like psych IRL like I get that kind of vibe. This kid is only 18 years old and like his understanding of the human brain and psychology and the mind and things going on in society. Like it was blowing me away. So I was talking to him this morning. Hopefully he'll come over and do a collab with me. But you guys, like he's only at 9,000 subscribers and like my one of my other goals aside from growing my Instagram in 2019 is to help this kid blow up. Like he is phenomenal and super, super smart for his age. So go check out Christopher Tom. All right. But anyways, I this morning I was just binge watching his stuff and I watched his video on rice gum. Like I don't really care about rice gum or following his stuff. But there was a part in Christopher Tom's video that really stuck out to me and I'll show you a clip right now. And although some YouTubers aren't able to change things up rice gum's audience was actually pretty receptive to the changes. His overall viewership wasn't really affected by this change. However, his relationship with his fans eventually began to deteriorate. He would start to upload at a slower rate. Now I just been slacking so much and you would think like now I don't post that much.  No I'm at home doing nothing. I just been lazy. I was on my couch using Tinder like two seconds ago. Now this in and of itself isn't so bad. What made this situation so bad for him was that he would often make promises to his subscribers like daily uploads and he would continuously break these promises again and again. Hey guys, it's me again. I feel like every week we talk I give you guys more of a reason to hate me. I have a lot of supporters and I have a lot of haters but slowly my supporters are turning into haters like it's a combination of lack of content, broken promises and just being inconsistent is honestly all my fault. You guys deserve a lot better. But he still continued to slack on his upload schedule. So yeah the first topic I want to talk about is like having false promises and little to no accountability and I'll use some of my experience like you guys. We cause so much of our own problems and we don't understand like you guys. I try to take these YouTube figures and try to help you understand how you're doing this stuff in your own life. This is me like I hate to admit it but rice gum and myself had this in common. So those of you who don't know me if you're new to my channel I'm a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. All right. I have six and a half years clean from drugs and alcohol. I haven't touched a single substance but what I learned when I got clean and sober was it wasn't just that people didn't like me because of my addiction. They've liked me because I was just irresponsible. You couldn't hold me accountable for anything. Like this is one of the reasons why I talk about accountability so so so much. Like I was rice gum. I knew I was screwing up. I always knew I was screwing up whether it was with my family, with my girlfriend, with my friends, with work right. I would keep messing up over and over and over and I would apologize. I would keep coming back and apologize and the thing was I was so sincere about my my apology. I felt awful. I felt awful about it.  I'm gonna try to stop doing this. I'm gonna work really hard at it but I didn't. I didn't. I kept doing the same exact behaviors and what Christopher Tom was pointing out is how rice gum became inconsistent with his content and he kept coming back and apologizing for it and whether he was sincere or not I don't need to be the judge of it but we can know what really happened to rice gum by seeing these false promises and like Christopher Tom pointed out his fans even noticed that too. Like you guys here if any of you are aspiring youtubers let me tell you one of the first lessons I learned when I jumped on this platform. When I first started my youtube channel I started looking around at other mental health channels other addiction channels and seeing who was doing good who wasn't doing great or who stopped growing or whatever it was the best lesson that I learned when I started researching this was all I had to do was just outlast everybody because so many people drop off so many people lack consistency. I knew I knew for a fact that if I could be consistent on this platform I would grow and I'm gonna talk more about that in a minute but like that's all you have to do you have to be more consistent than the next guy like other people try to tell you like oh you can't grow on youtube or you can't grow on social media or you can't do this or you can't do that all you gotta do is be better all you gotta do is be better by being consistent like my editing isn't all that great I do very minimal editing in fact this video that you're watching right now there is very little editing in this entire video I use like one clip and that's about all I'm gonna do but my consistency is on point right and this is something that's huge especially when you're on a platform like this and you're building a fanbase like I'm not gonna name names um but like there is a mental health youtuber out there who was one of the first ones that I found and I absolutely fell in love with their channel it was so helpful the information was great just so amazing and as I started to take youtube seriously they stopped posting videos now granted they were dealing with their own kind of mental health struggles but as a mental health youtuber that's one of the reasons we gotta keep this thing in check like same thing as a father I gotta keep my mental health in check so I can be a good father but when we're mental health youtubers it gives us even more of a reason to make sure our mental health is in a good place but anyways this youtuber made a couple comebacks disappeared and and yeah it bumps me out like it really bumps me out but you guys this is why people like rice gum are losing subscribers like you'll see you'll see some youtubers who do this when they when they become less consistent they actually lose a lot of subscribers when they post and here's here's my theory on this is that people forgot they were subscribed to this person because they haven't posted in so long then when they post people get upset and they're like what what is this like I'm not gonna stay subscribed to you if you're posting so inconsistently and they unsubscribe right and that's something that Christopher Tom pointed out with rice gums number is that they're starting to dip so he's made these false promises and these apologies that he doesn't follow through with so the number one thing I want you to take away from my video if you're somebody who apologizes all the time and promises change your ways actions speak louder than words all right like I have clients who came to me all the time like oh my family still doesn't trust me oh why don't people forgive me oh this that and the other right and it's because actions speak louder than words all right apologies don't mean jack squat unless you're doing something about it I had somebody DM me the other day about their relationship there were no relationship with somebody with borderline personality disorder and they were telling me about you know how difficult it is but they're trying to work on it and um this person told me that their partner is trying they're trying to get better and I'm like what do you mean by trying right because I hear a lot of people when they're saying they're trying to work on their mental health they're not doing anything they're just saying they are like what does this mean what is trying mean are you going to therapy right are you meditating are you journaling are you taking medications are you talking to your doctor are you seeing a psychologist a psychiatrist have you joined the support group like that's trying to me a lot of people say I'm trying but they're not really doing anything so I want all of you to remember your actions speak louder than words the second topic I want to talk about is something that Tristan and I talk a lot about and like I'm thinking about making a video on this I just don't know how to tie it into mental health but now's a good time to just kind of bring it up and I'm not going to name names again but like Tristan Tristan is absolutely blown away at the amount of videos I put out because I'm pretty much daily I do two videos a day most days right and Tristan's like what are these other youtubers doing who are posting like once a week who do this full time and I can't help but ask myself the same question now don't get me wrong I know a lot of them you know they tour or they travel or whatever but how many youtubers do you know who post one video a week or even one video a month and this is their full-time job right rice scums a great example like bro what are you doing with the rest of your time like what are you doing like people ask me all the time or they say Chris I wish I had your energy I wish I had your work ethic no the only thing is and I need to make videos about time management or maybe I'll send it out in my email blast by the way sign up for my email list is free it's down in the description but anyways like the only reason I'm able to get so much done is because a long time ago I realized how much time every single day I'm wasting right how much time I waste binge watching Netflix how much time I waste binge watching YouTube how much time I just completely zone out and just flip through Instagram or Facebook or Twitter when you count up all those hours you realize how much time you are wasting like something I'm trying to do every single day if I am awake I try to make every single minute count and maybe like maybe and this is something that all of you can use to your benefit if you have a similar story to me but six and a half years ago I almost died dude like I had a 10% chance of living because of my drug addiction and alcoholism like time is very precious to me um a lot of you comment on how I always look tired I don't sleep that much when I wake up early in the morning I don't like to go back to bed because when I'm awake like I am living on borrowed time and I am so grateful every single day that I get to wake up and I get to do something like this to help inspire other people like you to improve your mental health I love it I love it so so so much my life is so much better today so once I realize that I try to make every minute of my day a little bit better by making it worthwhile whether it's making these videos whether it's spending time with Tristan or my son or it's just communicating with all of you like just this morning I did a live stream and I got to hang out with you guys all right but anyways anyways let me know what your thoughts are about inconsistent youtubers or let me know if you have issues with time management let me know down in the comments all right but anyways don't forget go subscribe over to Christopher Tom the kid is amazing we're gonna collab soon all right and go follow me on Instagram because I love you and I need to be able to have people swipe up all right anyways that's all I got for this video if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos and a huge huge huge thank you to everybody supporting the
