Um beautiful? 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.440 Uh so this you know? I'm building a school? Congratulations, 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.760 finally done. You've been building it for twenty years. Those 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:47.200 kids are like adults now, No, so what's gonna make 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.240 the school could have been done a little sooner. What's 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.680 pushing what's prolong in it is um you know, I 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.720 how to talk about mother and she wants to make 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:01.200 it like a complete from pretty much elementary order to 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.680 high school. Holy fun. Before you told me it was 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.040 just a dicker kindergarten. Next thing, you know, it's gonna 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.839 be a whole college. No, no college? Are you sure? No? 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.520 Because it's best to groom the kids from first grade 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.720 all the way to twelve that for some reasons, she said, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.760 like it's better. So now we are we have to 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:25.639 add more classes. Oh that's amazing, Yes, and pretty much 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.959 we just need we technically need about I think what 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:34.320 twelve classics classics like nine or twelve classes something like that. 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.000 I'm not sure how this system works. You know, I've 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.480 been out of school. So it's like a Ghana unified 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.200 school district approved by the government of Ghana as it 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.760 has to be approved by the government. But the difference 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.880 between those schools and my school. I'm going to teach African. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.600 I'm gonna make sure this African history teachers there as well, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.720 because you know, when I want to school as a 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.040 kid in Africa, I don't remember anything on African history. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.640 You know that too much on black history. So I'm 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.320 gonna make sure that is thought in my school, like 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.480 black history, African history. Are you gonna be the teacher? No, 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.560 the funk I'm not Chinese best friend? Oh yeah, well yeah, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.760 if I am the teacher and the kids must well 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.680 just go to defray or or I see d C 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.200 when they get out of my school. But no, I'm 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.960 not going to teach. But but what I'm gonna do, 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.000 I'm gonna have American teachers come in the summertime just 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.920 to like, you know, teach your kids something different.

Oh, I know what happened. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.800 I bet you Donald Trump put some freaking oil on 0:13:55.920 --> 0:14:00.280 that thing, because that was used to be his plane. Yeah.

Maybe he needs a guy to walk 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.640 him up the stairs. Yeah, he probably needs you're his friends. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.480 He probably need to eat better because that's what you 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:47.280 Oh yeah, absolutely, that's right. Tell us about your food. Yeah, 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:54.040 so yeah, I specialized in vegan and raffles that home 0:14:54.120 --> 0:15:03.760 together and foot well, it's raw vegan food. Anything wrong, 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:09.080 end up with some kids. I'm cooking all my food same. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:15.440 It's like when you eat fruits and you know you 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:19.080 don't no, I don't. It's vegan, so there's no meat, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:23.640 no eggs. No, it sounds more sexual and more like 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.880 God through the ears when it's just rub vegan, right, 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:33.120 yeah it does. Yeah, okay, yeah, I like that. So okay, yeah, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.040 I guess if it's vegan, and it could be raw 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.120 because like vegetables. Yeah, so basically raw foods means it's 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.040 not cooked above or heated above a D eighteen degrees. 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:47.600 So you can make like raw tacos and raw burgers 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.520 and know it sounds crazy, but you use like vegetables 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.960 and nuts and beans and things like that, and you 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:59.520 make it and it's really delicious. M hm and vegan 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.360 twenty years. WHOA, you don't eat meat at all. I 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.480 don't eat any meat. Now, what if you're stuck in 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.720 a small little island and they only have meat, they 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:15.160 don't have any coconuts or bananas and tomatoes. Well, I'm 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:20.120 pretty sure they have green vegetation. Oh yeah, see, I 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:21.840 think that's what if they don't have that and they 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:28.000 only have a pig walking around, She'll eat it. She'll 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:33.280 just leave some the floors. That's exactly right. And now 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.520 I'll make some. I'll make some contumorate.

I'm gonna have 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.760 you be the Chinese teacher. But there's one problem, like 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.360 I don't speak Chinese, mothersucker.

How many inches 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:16.600 is the knife Um, that seems like a loaded question. 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:20.399 I'm gonna leave that right there. The knife, because the knife, 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:24.280 it's like a sword. The longer the knife does better 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:31.040 it is for cutting. Right, Mike doesn't watch a cooking channel. 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:35.840 I do. It's it's nine inches nine inches. My knife 0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:43.280 bigger than that, but it's not as sharp as her knife. 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:48.960 Mode socker. Her knife could cut the whole coconut one hit.

Your 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.560 break it because it's super sharp. And yeah, you use 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.760 a muchet for that. Oh, I carry a bucket knife. 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.840 That's all. Yeah, but I've got vegans, and it was 0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:16.880 there any vegans.

Yeah, but I'm saying 0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:29.639 that you gotta make a vegan soup because we like 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:32.480 all kinds of meat in the soup. They contomerate and 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:36.239 the Okrah soup and all of that. If you make 0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:39.720 them without meat, it's pretty much. It's vegan and what 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.560 I love vegan? You have fake meat, yeah you can 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:47.120 do Yeah, you can do meat for some reason.

You 0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.880 can make vegetables taste media. It's really the flavor prof 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:04.919 wow that you add to the vegetables. Yeah, it's not 0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:10.040 really right. And that's the point. You know, we should 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:15.800 stop eating. Can we order thy food first today? Maybe 0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.720 with stuff tomorrow? Well, Thai food can be I love 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:24.359 Thai food. Color a red curry.

Yeah, 0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:41.160 but you know a lot of people think that it's 0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:45.480 you're so limited, but just think about the thousands of 0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:48.520 plants that grow on the planet. There's so many fruits 0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:52.760 and vegetables, and it's really about your creativity. Is for me, 0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:56.200
