"OK, now that I calmed down I can see that I was a little heavy handed here. So I want to go back and dilute this a little bit because we don't you want just one thing sticking out of joint on a pot because the pot is three sixty and you can tell by looking at this. OK, that's obviously the front now and I'm not into pots having fronts and backs. They need to be beautiful all the way around. So I am going to clean up the inside of when I put my hand in there and I am going to figure how we can get some eye movement over here. To this side of the pot cause you can tell there's not really much going on here. So you need to talk with your pot and figure out what it needs and eventually it will tell you. But you got to take a gander at it and you maybe you got to even get up and look at it. I think I know what needs to get done."
