A Day in the Life Married to an Amazonian Tribe Girl

To get everything done in our daily routine, we have to do three important things. The first important thing is to get the animals fed, and the last two are the very most important ones. We have to do a crazy egg cleaning ritual, which I'm not too sure how that works, but they believe in it, so let's see how they do it. And number three, we have to meet the family. Instead of drinking coffee every morning for energy, they drink, the spit drink chicha every single morning. So, of course, all we have to do is come down to our neighbors right here, and then they're going to sell us some chicha. Welcome to the morning coffee. Okay, she just got back with the yuca, with the cassava. The first thing we need to do when we wake up in the Amazon, is feed the animals, and my favorite animal is the toucan. It's the toucan? Yes. What they do with their huge cornfields is they harvest their corn, and this is what they use, just raw corn for their chickens. Okay, that's, that's, hay pollos que comer. So she uses a call to call all of her chickens. Look how many, dude, there are probably, maybe around 50 chickens. Oh, dude, what? And believe it or not, this toucan is an omnivore. And this guy couldn't have a full diet if he actually didn't eat meat, so they give him meat. Look how beautiful this guy is. Let me pet him. Hi, buddy, hi. Then we've got our next contender coming up. Dude, that is ridiculous. That is ridiculous, dude. Welcome to breakfast slash afternoon breakfast brunch. Welcome to brunch. Maria, como se llama eso pescado? Tilapia. We are eating the muck, in their language, or tilapia, in our language. Basically, what they do is they take leaves and then put two little tilapias right here, bam, bam, and put salt on both of them on top, and then wrap them up in these little leaf things, and this is, this is dinner. This is brunch. And what I think is hilarious, they use machetes for literally everything. They're fixing the coals in there with the fire with the machete. Oye, the chickens, the chickens are trying to eat all our food, dude. Not often do you have chickens in your kitchen. Y Maria, antes de teléfono, antes de electricidad, antes de todo, ¿cómo sobreviviste? Nosotros jugábamos con tierrita, hacíamos casas de hojas de plátano, jugábamos en los árboles, en los volúmenes de los árboles. Nuestros abuelos eran bien fuertes, no desayunaban, no almorzaban. Solo tomaban chicha y se iban a trabajar, y con la hacha trabajaban en la montaña. Imagine, imagine how crazy is my life. This is the staple of their daily life, right? The staple of their daily life is spit drink chicha, cassava root, and then also grub worms. I never have a boring day in my life, ever. It's finally stopped raining, so we're going to harvest a little bit more thang. Some spicy and then some yuca. So this is their little spicy plant tree, ¿y cómo se llama eso? Jimia. Voy a poner jimia en tu sumi. Sumo. Mi yuca está bien remontada, necesitamos trabajar. Así se trabaja. María, porque tú cuidas el campo muy bien, yo sabía que tú vas a cuidarme muy bien. ¿Sabes eso? Sí. Mi hermano siempre me dijo eso. Necesitas una chica que cuida vacas, y las hojas, y la yuca. ¿Cuál te dijo eso? ¿Ah? ¿Cuál te dijo eso? El más mayor. Porque si ella cuida vacas muy bien, imagina tú. Y se ve bonito. Acá tenemos los pollos. Tenemos los pollos aquí porque en la casa hay mucha enfermedad de los pollos, y aquí los pollitos no se enferman. Y aquí hay su lunch. ¿Lunch? Sí. ¿Qué significa lunch? Comida. Almuerzo. Sí. Ahora vamos a tumbar el verde. ¿Para qué? ¿Para comer? Sí. They use this long bamboo stick to hit the tree to have it be knocked down, and then you can finally harvest it. Look at this. Ya estás bien profesional tú. ¿Ya? ¿Estás grabando? Yep. ¡Boom! ¿Por qué necesitas cortar todo? Despacio. Los restos están... Antes que hacemos el ritual, vamos a comer. Sí, vamos a comer. What do you even do in the Amazon? It's been raining here all day. You can't really go outside and do much. So what I've noticed is literally you do nothing. You know, nothing in comparison to, you know, what we would do in the United States, get around the TV, chill, doom-troll in bed. You sing around the campfire, you talk around the campfire, you tell stories, you eat and you cook food. Instead of just microwaving something that takes 30 seconds, you actually have to make a fire. You have to make it, prepare it, cook it. And it takes all day just of cooking to prepare two or three meals for the family. So, welcome to brunch. We have some grub worms, we have some yuca, we have some eggs right here with some spicy, more eggs, and then we are sharing some tilapia fish with some chicha. One of the only things that are left is to spiritually cleanse myself, which I've only done this one time before, but never like this deep. I've done it in like a city where it's kind of like a tourist attraction kind of thing, but this is the real deal. Like, watch this. Maria had a fever and they blamed it on a bad spirit. But for me, I think it's just a fever, but for them, they think it's a bad spirit. It's a bad vibe, right? Bad vibe, bad spirit, whatever you want to call it. It was in the middle of the night and she whipped out an egg and started rubbing the egg all over her. I'm like, what the heck are you doing with that egg? Because for me, I'm like, dude, western ideology. I'm like, what the? Watch this entire section because at the very end, they're going to do something with the egg and then measure the egg. It's something interesting, but you're going to have to see it. See it to believe it. That's what they say, right? Okay, yeah, yeah. I don't know what's about to happen here, but let's do it, dude. Okay, hold on. Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. And what do you see? Do I have bad energy or what do I have? You have bad energy. Claro. Serio? Con la boca? Serio? So, this ends off the video. I thought I'd leave it off with a ritual because I won't lie, we didn't really do too much today. The life in the Amazon is a very cheap and chill life and the things that you didn't see is literally just me sitting down on my laptop, chopping this video up and posting it. But the Amazon is the most wonderful and chill life ever, the average day. Of course, if you want to go to waterfalls, go to waterfalls. If you want to go experience the craziest things ever, go hunting monkeys, you can also do that too. But the average day in the life, this is it, dude. It's just super chill. And the family never ended up coming as well, so I couldn't even do that as well. I thought they were coming, but they didn't end up coming. I don't know where they even went.
