Rebecca Sugar changed the world of animation with their hit Cartoon Network show, Steven Universe. It redefined what stories children deserve to experience with themes of self love and family trauma. And it was groundbreaking for its representation of queer, nonbinary characters - it even included one of the first same sex marriages to appear in a cartoon for young people. Rebecca joins Sam to share how the animated series helped them process their own identity and what they've had to overcome to write music for their first solo album, Spiral Bound.

My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co-host, social. And today we are doing a topic talk and the topic is, what does your dream home look like? So social describe your dream home.00:01:15XochitlWell, I really like this one because I had my dream home picture for a while.00:01:18XochitlNow, but it would ideally be on a big plot of land, like a big land plot of land, because I don't really want to have any like close by neighbors or anything. So I do want to be on a big plot of land and it would be, I think there'd be two sections would be like 1 main home and then one like little home in the back.00:01:28JackHmm.00:01:39JackLike a guest home.00:01:39XochitlBut.00:01:40XochitlYeah. The guest home. Yeah. The guest house. So the main home would be two floors. Uh, I really. I thought two floors with no basement. I never really thought about the basement aspect, but it would be. You would like, walk in. There would be a little place to, like, take your shoes off.00:01:52JackOK.00:02:00XochitlAnd then it'd be like the living room and the dining room. Then it'd be the kitchen, and then it'd be like stairs to the second floor. And then there'd be a guest room right here.00:02:11XochitlAfter that and then there'd be a big open space type room in the back where you could with like a whole panel of windows in the back. So you could like do art or music or anything back there.00:02:23JackOhh, like a flex room like like whatever it you could make it whatever you want it to be.00:02:29XochitlRight. Yeah. It's just like a huge open space, like running the whole back length of the.00:02:30JackOK.00:02:33XochitlHouse.00:02:36XochitlAnd then upstairs it would be like a bedroom.00:02:41XochitlAnd the back bathroom upstairs. Ohh, the guest bedroom would also have bathroom downstairs and then it would be like a.00:02:50XochitlUp front balcony type of area with a small.00:02:56XochitlLike landing after the stairs and then two rooms between that front balcony and the UM bedroom bathroom situation. And I guess one of them would be like a spare room and the other one would be like a music room or Art Room or something like that. So.00:03:12JackOK. Is there a city approval in this House?00:03:13XochitlAnd.00:03:16XochitlThe backroom has, like, uh, the back house I think would have like a little like a pond or something nice. And then like pond or something. And then.00:03:24JackOh, OK.00:03:27JackNot swimming in there a koi pond. OK, it's more of a beauty. Looking beautiful being, you know, peaceful. Not not a, not a party house. This is like a peaceful house, OK.00:03:29XochitlNo.00:03:34XochitlYeah.00:03:37XochitlNo.00:03:38XochitlYes, a people house and then it would have like it would be a little.00:03:43XochitlJust like a little guest house, like a one story. Cottage looking guest house.00:03:49JackYeah, we call this the mother-in-law suite sometimes.00:03:52XochitlYes, that's really what it would be for actually. So that like if I get married and their parents want to stay or my parents.00:03:58XochitlWant to stay?00:03:59XochitlOr my my parents get sick or their parents get sick, they can stay back there.00:04:03JackYeah.00:04:04XochitlDo like a small house.00:04:06XochitlSeparate from the main house.00:04:07JackIt's got like a little kitchen in it and it's got, you know, it's on the bathroom and it's on like.00:04:11JackLiving room and but small.00:04:12XochitlAnd it's on bedroom. Yeah, but it's kind of a small. Yeah. Like a mother-in-law suite. That's exactly what it would be. And and I want it to be like.00:04:18JackOK.00:04:22XochitlCake.00:04:24XochitlColonial Mexican style like us.00:04:26JackI was going to ask you that is this modern? Is this like, uh, a ranch house? OK, so yeah.00:04:30XochitlIt's an ocean, yeah.00:04:34XochitlWe're going to send us at home, so it's kind of like.00:04:35발표자For morning.00:04:40XochitlInside the lot of the floors would be.00:04:43XochitlLike clay tile, red clay tile and like.00:04:48XochitlUM.00:04:50XochitlIt have a lot of windows and have the arches that colonial thousand homes have and it be built.00:04:56JackI'm thinking a lot of like pastel colors or something like that.00:05:00XochitlNo, no, actually it would be a lot of like uh jewel tones. So it'd be like kind of a clay kind of, uh, what's that color?00:05:05JackOh, OK, yeah.00:05:10JackMosaics, like mosaics kind of stuff.00:05:12XochitlYeah, and how difficult you slipped again, it said orange terracotta.00:05:18XochitlLike terracotta color wars and then the bedroom would be like an emerald green and the bathroom would be kind of a jade green color. And then the guest bedroom would probably be like a pastel kind of lavender or lilac color. But other than that, the kitchen would be like yellow and it would have, like, mosaic.00:05:18JackThat's your problem, yeah.00:05:25JackOK.00:05:38XochitlAnd.00:05:39XochitlYeah, it'd be full of a lot of like jewel tone kind of colors.00:05:44JackYeah, I kind of get the the feeling I can kind of understand what you're talking about because I watched a movie called Frieda about the Frida Kahlo the the an artist and they had like, this amazing house that they lived and painted in. And I'm kind of thinking like that those.00:05:54XochitlAh.00:05:56발표자Yes.00:06:03JackColors. I think there it was a very bold kind of.00:06:09JackHouse with the home, but maybe yours is a little bit more subtle, like it's not quite as loud.00:06:10XochitlHome.00:06:15발표자I think that would be.00:06:16XochitlA little traditional kind of like what food you grew up in in the movie, but the courtyard and stuff like that maybe. But yeah, it would have some bright kind of jewel tones, kind of like a a lot of vintage style.00:06:21JackMm-hmm.00:06:23JackYeah.00:06:30XochitlWell.00:06:31XochitlHard to explain, but that would be my ideal home and it would be a relaxing home. No swimming pool. I think the biggest things I'd want is like a home theater type of situation.00:06:41JackYeah, yeah.00:06:42XochitlI never use swimming pools or anything, but I would like a big bathtub because we have a swimming pool in the house I grew up in and like I barely ever, no one, barely.00:06:50XochitlEver uses a pool, so like.00:06:51JackThis is the. This is exactly what happens to everybody that.00:06:55JackHas a pool.00:06:56JackIs that you think you're going to use it every day and you use it like if if I add it up like all the time that I spent in that pool in my life, it was probably like 4 hours, you know?00:07:08XochitlYeah. And then like when you're a kid, you use it probably more, but as soon as you grow into, like the teenage years, you don't use it as much and then everyone else wants to use your pool.00:07:19XochitlAnd there's always people like trying to use your pool. That's literally what it's like to have a house with the pool. It's like there's always other people asking if they can come over and use your pool.00:07:20JackHoney.00:07:29JackHere's a hint to our listeners out there if you have. If you get a pool, everybody's going to want to use your pool, and if you buy a truck, everybody's going to ask you to help them move. So don't buy a truck and don't get a pool. Just don't do it. It's not worth it.00:07:41XochitlYes. Yeah.00:07:47XochitlHe usually just never use a pool. I think a home theater is something I would use much more than like a pool.00:07:52JackYeah, yeah, yeah, maybe a hot tub. Actually, I would use a hot tub. Yeah.00:07:55XochitlYeah, like a Jacuzzi kind of situation. Or, like a hot tub or just a nice big bath. Like for me, like, the bathroom would be kind of jade tile colored like jade colored tile and the bathroom. The tub would be the same color and it'd be pretty big. So you could just really chill in a tub. Like it's a hot tub.00:08:14XochitlSomething, but because I even I'm short and tiny and in the homes in the US.00:08:16JackYeah.00:08:21XochitlLike I still most of my body sticks out of the tub when I'm taking a, you know?00:08:25XochitlWhat I mean like it's?00:08:25JackI I'm 6 foot eight. I'm 2 meters tall. I haven't taken a bath in since I was a child. You know? It's it's not a thing, you know? Yeah, it's pointless. Yeah.00:08:28발표자Yeah.00:08:34XochitlRight.00:08:37XochitlViolent.00:08:38XochitlAll right, Jack, what would your dream home look like? I'm curious.00:08:43JackOK, well mine is more in like a modern kind of like modern styles, you know, new architecture, modern.00:08:51JackUM, uh. But it's still it's still, you know, nothing crazy but like, uh, I'm thinking like a like a two-story house. I like that.00:09:04JackI do. After you know, we just talked about hating pools. I want a pool with a hot tub attached to it in the backyard.00:09:10발표자Cool.00:09:13XochitlBack, Oh my gosh. The amount of upkeep that my dad is always doing on the pool too. It's such a pain.00:09:19JackI just figure like if I can buy my dream home, I can pay someone to to deal with my pool.00:09:20발표자Say.00:09:25JackI'll just be a cool guy.00:09:25XochitlOK. I'll be real with you. Like you like Gen. X and boomers. Like you'd rather just do it yourself than pay like in the reality of it, you're like, oh, I can do that.00:09:26JackYeah, he can come.00:09:38JackThe chemicals and all that sort of stuff. I'm like, you know, you got to get it just right. Like it if it's wrong, you can burn your, you know, your eyes with the chlorine in the pool. It can, you know, can cause problems.00:09:49XochitlYeah. Or you could get with your headache spill muriatic acid on yourself and burn your like limb off so.00:09:55JackYeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta be really careful. So I think I would just pay. This is this, by the way. This is like in Florida. So this is like you.00:10:03JackA warm climate. So. So we're in Florida. It's kind of like a modern style house. It's not not like a colonial or a, you know, traditional home or anything. It's just a, a kind of modern style and.00:10:04발표자Ah.00:10:23JackYeah, it's got two stories. There's a pool in the back with, like, a a cage. What? They call it a cage in Florida, but it's actually like a net that covers the whole back area. So no bugs can.00:10:32발표자Hmm.00:10:35JackAnd then.00:10:36JackAnd there's a barbecue and a bar and a hot tub. And like tiki torches. And, you know, like, it's got the whole, like, you know, hanging out in the back by the pool vibe. You can hang out at night or you can have a pool party during the day.00:10:36XochitlYeah.00:10:57JackAnd so maybe there's like, a a pool table out there because it's kind of like indoor outdoor. So it's covered, but it's not covered.00:11:07XochitlHmm.00:11:08JackI know this is the most Gen. X description of that.00:11:11XochitlYou know, it's just crazy to me because it's like you actually are thinking of a luxury home. And I realized how simple minds sounded. And it's just funny because between our generations, there's a huge gap where, like my generation, doesn't even own property. So for me, like, thinking like, that's like a luxury home. Like what I thought of. And then what you're talking about is, like, a real luxury home.00:11:30XochitlThat didn't even cross my mind.00:11:32JackI know this is like a my dream home is like is is like a a real home. Like they sell these homes, you know it's it's not even I'm not even using my imagination.00:11:38XochitlRight.00:11:43JackYou know, I don't really care about like the I. I guess what we what I want is like high uh high ceilings with arches inside. So definitely in like Spanish style. I love Spanish tile like it's Spanish tile. Roof is really cool in that like you terracotta.00:12:02JackColor that you're talking about. I like that. And I like big arches because I'm really tall. So when I, you know, go through my house, I don't want to be, like, ducking my head down.00:12:14XochitlRight. You want like high ceilings and stuff.00:12:16JackYeah, I want really high ceilings. I've actually, I don't even care about the 2nd floor. I'm OK with like, a a ranch style home where it's just like a one story.00:12:27발표자Hmm.00:12:28JackAs long as there's like, you know, a master bedroom with a with its own bathroom and then access to the pool outside and then like a nice big open kitchen with like, a Big Island, we call the island is like a a big kitchen table type thing.00:12:46JackLike it's not a table, but do you know what I?00:12:48JackMean like uh?00:12:49XochitlYeah, we have one in my home and in Kentucky, while my parents home, it's like in the middle of the kitchen and it's like a table, kind of. But it's like part of the.00:13:01JackYou don't really eat there at the island. You can. I mean, you could put, like stools and eat at the island, but it's not a dining room, you guys.00:13:01XochitlCan't move it.00:13:06XochitlWe do eat. We. Yeah, we used to eat at the island. Like it was a dining room because it.00:13:12XochitlWas just the most.00:13:12XochitlConvenient. So it's like high schools on it and we would just all eat at the island.00:13:13JackYeah, that's true.00:13:18JackThat's what we have to we have an iron and we put high stools in there. We eat there like a kitchen table. So I guess it is actually.00:13:25XochitlLike people do, you have too high on?00:13:28JackAnd now that I think about it, yeah, I I do the same thing.00:13:34JackThat and I.00:13:35JackWould I like a nice big living room with a huge TV like a big, you know, projector TV or something like that? Where?00:13:41XochitlYes, I want a big TV.00:13:43JackYeah, I would like a movie theater, but I don't need it. I don't need, like, a proper movie theater. You know, some people build, like, a movie theater in their house with, like, theater chairs. Yeah.00:13:51XochitlThat's ridiculous to me. Well.00:13:54JackThat's just like a it's it's a.00:13:58JackGodly rich person thing, you know.00:13:58XochitlToo much?00:14:00발표자Yeah.00:14:01XochitlPlease say.00:14:03JackYeah, but I I. But I I want like, a Big L sofa. Like a really big one. So that like.00:14:09XochitlOhh yeah, those comfortable ones. Sorry, go ahead.00:14:12JackYeah, big fluffy ones where I can, like, lie down on one and my wife can lie down on the other and we don't have to. Like, over intersect. You know, like we.00:14:22XochitlHey.00:14:23JackYeah.00:14:24XochitlThey're both like comfortable.00:14:25JackYeah. Yeah. So we're, you know, you're sitting at.00:14:27XochitlBoth like sleep on this cell sofa, yeah.00:14:29JackExactly. So as we watch Netflix, we just drift off and fall asleep because we're getting old.00:14:37XochitlAnd like the couch, she's just as comfortable as the bed. Yeah, that that's not.00:14:40JackYeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, half the time you sleep on the couch anyway, like you don't you just spend half the time there.00:14:47XochitlRight.00:14:49JackUh, yeah. So, you know my my, that's my dream home. You know, I would love to.00:14:55JackTo just have a big, comfortable, nice house where lots of people can come over and we can enjoy our time together, barbecue and the by the pool, maybe play a game of billiards in my billiards table. That's kind of in the outside. Like the the pool area is kind of like has is covered with the roof.00:15:11XochitlMHM.00:15:15JackSo it's like indoor outdoor. It's kind of like.00:15:18JackBetween.00:15:19XochitlAh, OK.00:15:20JackYeah, yeah. And then there's like a little bar there, but I don't drink. But, you know, my friends do.

I could just do it in my home.00:16:13JackOhh yeah and I.00:16:14JackTotally forgot my man cave, one of the rooms.00:16:19JackYeah.00:16:19XochitlYou did very good.00:16:21JackI know because I'm such a I'm such a Gen.

The industry continues its struggle with the labor crisis. Good people come and good people go, but maybe we're looking in the wrong place. In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I'm speaking with Chef D. Brandon Walker (better known as Chef D) creator and owner of growing Los Angeles concepts. Before we get into that, let me tell you that Chef is uplifting the industry, his restaurants, and the underserved population by creating “Careers”, not just jobs. Chef D's M.O. is to hire and train the homeless, the formerly incarcerated, and those in need of a second chance. The Chef's approach stands apart as it assumes no prior experience (although some do have it) and develops each person to learn and perform multiple roles throughout the business. Imagine cross-training where everyone shares duties and responsibilities, such as working the counter, cooking food, serving drinks, and washing dishes. The upside is not only creating a diverse and diversely talented workforce that can jump into almost any position, but shorter more productive workdays and universal equally shared gratuities. Listen as Chef D tells us: - How to elevate and welcome all races and walks of life to the culinary world - Training challenges, benefits, and opportunities - The loyalty and longevity of staff - Leading by Example and life skills taught - “Clear Expectations”, evaluating performance and individual staff contribution - The upside of universal shared tipping Not to mention, how Chef D's “Mar Vista Grab N Go” serves a locally sourced farm to table menu while his new “Art Room” concept elevates fast casual by blending a curated art gallery with beautiful dining spaces.

Teaching about media is a large chunk of what occurs in the art room. Through the introduction of media, we teach skills, and techniques, and processes, and concepts. Traditionally, art teachers have taught media through projects. However, the choice-based, TAB teacher has a challenge. We don't offer teacher-directed projects. So how do we introduce our students to new media?
