I mean so part of my job is the culinary ambassador of Thailand. It's nice to have you here, bro Dude, it's great to be here. Thank you for inviting me. So anything you need brother. Our house is your house Awesome as I want to see the prop room for like food channel stuff The studio is really great for video and for stills so they shoot cookbooks here They shoot commercials here. They shoot a lot of very few studios in LA will have a full working kitchen And then a few different setups where you could build the kitchen. I'm gonna shut up and get out of here No, you're fine. No, no, no. No, this is great Just showing this this without narration is boring and you're just driving the point home For stills usually need tabletops, right? Yeah things that look at marbles and like slate There's a look at different backgrounds and then obviously you got to set the table with you know, various China's silverware, etc But again, you need it. You let me know man. I'm gonna shut up. No, this is the point. This is also more surfaces Surfaces everywhere. So yeah when we shoot our cookbook, we use another studio, but this is a very similar setup This this studio does everything video and it does stills and you can have multiple shoots going on and they've got crazy Internet giant power here actually have their own solar panel grid. So they make their own power Dang, yeah, it's really cool thing I noticed over here is that I'm guessing it's the photographer that owns the studio is big in a dog rescue And so look he has all these cool pictures were like It shows the puppers with their fans that got rescued and it shows them see new home found dog look at the puppers Here I like this one over here. I Like him because you know, I'm a big fan of Shepherds. There's his new family right there. And then this guy I like this guy Look, he's an old man He's with his new family, but look at what he looked like when they found him Oh poor guy, but look I'm so happy now. So just stare and then I'm chillin in this little green room in here Editing some vlogs for you boys. Brilliant. Alright, so in terms of hardware I'm gonna do the curry in a skillet.
