working on a new show called
4:19
uh positively Paula positively Paula
4:23
somebody said the other day by mistake
4:26
perfectly Paula and that has stuck in my
4:29
brain so ever since that person said
4:32
that I have to stop and think positively
4:34
Paula the kids call that earworm ear an
4:38
earworm yeah cuz it's stuck in your head
4:40
yeah it gets in there and it won't crawl
4:42
out the other side right uh but it's
4:44
it's a wonderful uh show Jesse I'm
4:48
having so much fun filming it because
4:50
you know we have gone back to basics
4:53
it's it's the show that uh I originally
4:56
started doing what 14 15 years ago right
5:00
and I'm in the kitchen with my
5:04
friends and uh sometimes I'm alone
5:07
sometimes I have guest and it's just
5:11
um you know a
5:14
time for me to um interact and be with
5:19
the audience out there and you know it's
5:22
it's my hope that for 30 minutes they'll
5:26
forget everything that irks them forget
5:29
all their problems just sit back with me
5:32
for 30 minutes and have a good time
5:36
reminisce yeah absolutely I've seen I've
5:38
seen some of the clips um and this is
5:42
partially shot in your home yeah yes it
5:44
is actually shot in the home that
5:46
Michael and I live in right uh now my
5:50
studio kitchen is about a mile from the
5:52
house that was uh the first house that
5:56
Michael and I built that we thought we'd
5:57
live there forever and ever and ever
5:59
ever and uh we started filming Paula's
6:04
best dishes there and we woke up one day
6:08
and realized as we were walking under
6:11
lights and stepping over uh cameras and
6:16
bags that the house had become a studio
6:18
it was not our home anymore so we went
6:21
down the road and built another house
6:23
and
6:25
uh so I have two different kitchens that
6:28
I can film in yeah but I love love love
6:32
uh filming in the kitchen that I
6:35
actually cook and live in every day so
6:37
