What's up guys?
Hey guys, how you doing?
So, I am doing this right now.
This is one of my paddles that I got in Guyana.
What do you guys think?
Oh, thanks Christine. Thank you.
Yeah, I'm just getting creative here.
So I got this paddle in Guyana.
I gotta spray myself.
I don't see anything.
Try this one.
No.
Try this one.
Which side?
You have to remove the hair.
Like this?
But it's still missing, right?
It's still missing a little bit.
Is it missing here or what?
There's a hole.
If you want, you can remove that hole.
What hole?
There's a hole here.
Remove that.
Ah, no.
I think this one's fine.
I can always do it.
Just clean it with that and that's it.
With this?
Yes.
That's it.
You can remove anything with that.
Look, it's like...
Do you see now?
Do you see everything?
Of course.
Is that good or not?
It's good.
What's missing here?
This?
You're going to melt it.
I mean...
It's very difficult.
If you remove that mark, you have to lower it a lot.
But it looks different.
Ah, look, look, look.
Wow, so you see everything that's missing.
Looks nice, though.
What do you think?
Good.
Good, right?
Because I gave this one the whole thing the other day.
And this one, look how it's missing.
This is...
Yes.
And that's the president's.
Your bike, man.
Okay, I think that burned.
No, that burned.
Yes, yes, like...
This is...
That burned.
Very good.
Like this.
It's even, you know?
You can't hit it and then lower it.
You have to hit it even,
because if you don't,
you'll just take it off, you know?
And sometimes it's difficult.
Difficult, yes.
Well, I'm used to it, you know?
Instead of touching it,
you start the machine and...
It's a different kind of wood, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
But...
It's like removing the burn.
You can remove that burn down there.
How much?
That.
All of that?
Yes.
That.
I don't know how to remove this.
Ah, yes.
Well, here it is.
And now?
No, it doesn't come out.
You would have to lower it too much.
So this is given to me.
Look, I'm live, I'm live.
All the time, I'm live.
But nothing.
I'm going to try to finish this.
But look at that.
It's good.
No, no.
Just to put it on the wall well.
A little better.
Crazy.
No.
So guys, this was given to me
by the president of Guyana.
The president of Guyana gave me this.
This is what he used to cook his beef curry.
Made it, right?
So I'm here with my uncle,
and we're trying to do this.
Brandon.
Is Brandon there?
Is Brandon here?
Let me know if Brandon's here.
What up, bro?
Each day.
And then, uh,
while I was taking care of the kids right now.
So I decided to do
one thing I've been down to do for a while.
Y'all understand I need my face.
But, uh,
sorry, I didn't even see the comment.
Brandon.
You're here, Brandon, huh?
Well, Brandon,
I got you something, bro.
I got mine.
So I'm putting these two on my wall.
And Brandon, this is for you, bro.
I don't know when you're gonna get it,
but you still gotta
stand the ---- out of it.
That's why I finished
at least some of these today.
And by the way, guys,
no problem.
I'm melting here.
Just opened up a little beer
because I'm freaking too hot.
And yeah, my phone is at
15 percent.
So I will go into it next.
You see that? How it's like black?
Just shows he was like putting it on.
So who's here?
Anybody here?
There's seven people here.
And I haven't really been talking.
I've been trying to
really focus on this.
My God, it's so impossible.
Low, right?
Look at that.
Wow.
Let's get in there, guys.
Let's get in there.
This is from the president of Guyana.
Let me tell you what I'm dealing with.
So, like,
there's a lot of burnt areas.
Right?
And even
where it seemed to get it good.
But, like, once
once I'm done,
what I'll do is
I'll get in here
just like
like that.
And you can see all
all the messed up parts.
Uncle!
I don't know what else to do with this.
But it's impossible.
Because that stain,
you can't take it off.
And look here.
It's impossible.
It's fucked up.
Don't worry.
But look.
Wow.
So like that?
Or should I give it a little more?
No?
It's the same.
When that happens,
it's going to show up again.
Dude, but this is still black.
Here my friend says
that the imperfections
are like the best part.
Of course.
Yes, but...
It has to have its story, right?
Yes, like
it's fucked up.
The president's hands were here.
Okay, so
do I try that now?
Yes.
Here?
It doesn't have a plastic.
I'll do it on the grass.
On the grass?
But on the grass
it doesn't have any paper or anything.
Because on the grass
on the grass
I'll do it on the motorcycle.
The same.
No, it's not that.
You need something
so that it doesn't **** up later.
Ah, no.
But my mother
the other time
we put it here.
Like...
Okay, so
put it on the motorcycle.
Like this.
We're going to put this on.
See, it's already getting dark.
We can do this now.
It's already getting
what's it called?
Dark here.
My phone here?
So, bring it to me.
So, we're going to put this
thing on it.
Okay?
That's fine.
I'll wash my hands, no?
It won't go.
It won't go?
It's going to take you
another day to go.
Really.
Bring a knife
to open this.
Like this?
Are you sure?
Tomorrow
tomorrow
I'll wash another hand.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's do it
one more time.
You have to do it one more time.
You have to touch it dry
to really know
how much you need.
I don't want it to touch me.
That's the problem.
If it touches you
it'll stain you.
It'll take a while
because it's dry.
Well, at this point
I can't even grab it.
Well, I'll grab it with this, no?
Grab it with this.
So, like this
I can do this, right?
That's it.
Tomorrow
Grab some gloves
Yes, I know.
But now
Like that? It's good?
It's COVID, I understand.
But where do I put it?
Here.
Grab it here.
Grab a piece of paper
and put it on your hand.
Like this?
Like this.
Tomorrow
That's super nice.
Yes, tomorrow
I'll wash another hand.
I understand.
Yes, another hand.
And now
It's kind of dark.
I don't know if you like
the other one
that looks like this.
No?
I think when it dries
it's not going to be that color though.
I mean
the other time
No, but it's not ready yet.
It's not ready yet.
Yeah?
So
Let's do it.
I guess we'll do it.
Shit.
Give me another cloth.
Alright, so I'm going to do
You guys still there?
Everybody still here?
I guess we're going
to Kamehameha on this one.
I don't know.
Is it ready?
I don't know.
There's some pieces
that don't look ready.
What do you guys think?
Like that right there?
It's not ready, right?
Uncle
I don't think so.
No, look.
Look.
It's missing.
I haven't seen this before.
It's wet.
I think it's wet.
It's wet.
I haven't seen this before.
It's good like this.
And this one?
Is it gone?
Well, this takes away a lot.
That takes away,
but I'll give you the last layer.
I guess I'll just
You always have to give it
the last thin layer
because that takes away
anything.
That's why.
I love these imperfections.
I can't see anything here
because I'm in the worst
place possible.
Like this?
It's good, right?
Look at that.
I like that.
I guess
it's going to be dark.
But better dark.
It's not going to end like that.
It gets clearer.
I don't think so.
Then I shouldn't do it.
That's why I say
it's better to buy one
than all of this.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
I think it's going to be very dark.
****.
Shit, it's raining.
I think we have to go.
It's raining.
Oh, ----.
All right, guys.
I got to go.
Shit.
Are we going to leave this here?
It's going to get wet.
I don't know.
