What kind of What method of cooking is it like a smoked monkey? You just smoke it. Yeah wrap it in a banana leaf. Yeah, it's a very like stringy hard Muscular animal. Yeah, and my friend Steve Ranella had some yeah, I think in Guyana He he ate a monkey see this look at this kid here. He's with a machete the machete is as long as that kid is tall Was he doing chopping down the street? Yeah, just chopping down the tree for firewood. Hmm But that kid looks like he's five years old. Yes. He's younger than that. I think how old Well, he might be five you may be right four four or five and they're letting them use a machete to chop down a fucking tree Do they climb this kids climb the trees with that the kid believe you saw climb that tree He was doing that with bows and arrows. Oh my god with bows and arrows. He claims they're so hard Yeah, I'm looking at here. It's just hanging out by him to us The kid is right next to him. How many of these guys that live in these villages are injured? I mean, they get injured from time to time. Yeah, but they're super smart with the blades I mean they grow up with I don't even mean so it's like getting cut I mean just injured injured from there's no medical man. They roll their ankles through the forest They when they're climbing stuff knee ligaments. Yeah What do they wind up doing? They just heal heal up like by giving it rest What's kind of cool about the forest life or the village life is they literally? They're up early right when the Sun's coming up there. They're up. They're down when the Sun goes down And so they they they're in tune with nature. Yeah The circadian rhythms was looking for Yeah, and then midday during the heat of the day right 3 to 5 p.m. They're normally just chillin napping or in their hut To where they're out of the Sun and so they're up working before that they rest and if they need to go back out before The Sun's down they go back out a second time hunting gathering come back in prepare it What's their primary look? What are they trying to hunt? So forest antelope forest hog or wild hog out there Lots of different kinds of birds Parrots different things like that and they're using bows and arrows Home in bows and arrows right homemade. Yeah, definitely in the dangerous ones. I'm gonna have to bring you a bow and arrow I haven't done that. I have one that is that I really love see if I can get to get you one but they Will give you two arrows one has a metal blade and one's just a sharpened tip and then they ask you Which one would you use on an antelope and you choose which one you choose? And then you ask which one would you use on a bird? And then you choose which one would you think between a blade and the sharpened wood? Which one would you use on the antelope you'd use blade? Okay, and then on a bird which one would you sharpen stick? Yeah, that's what makes sense to our mind, right? Yeah, it's actually the opposite They use the metal on the bird because that's gonna kill the bird right they use the wooden tip because they They dip that in poison. Oh, jeez. And so that's what they take the bigger animals out with is So they just have to hit it. Oh, yeah Anywhere in its body and it gets in there now does that poison infect them? No, no, it cooks out It's out of this. There's these two things. It's these berries and these Not roots, but it's a like a root fruit not like a potato It's this poisonous black potato That like they mash up and if you if you mess with that stuff the potato gets smashed or something and that oil or that Whatever cassaba not cassava because cassava is the same as a room, but it also is gets strict not Yeah, I know that they you have to boil it for yeah, they have to do all this shit to cassava And then then the I know there's one side. Yes, and this is this it's a black potato Yeah, I know they use the the strict on from cassava to poison things as well. Wow, and they have like a bucket like in Renella's show Steve Renell show the meat eater, which is on It is on Netflix and no the meat eater is his website meat eater is a Netflix show but he went to Guyana and He's done a couple trips to different I think Bolivia as well and when he goes to the jungle like this they have this incredibly intricate process for cooking and making this cassava edible and These buckets that they have of this sort of processed stuff as they're doing it is fucking hugely toxic Yeah, and it's just laying around Yeah, and like kids are playing near it and the the kids have to be so careful Yeah, the parents have to be so careful with the poison. Yeah, because once they dip those tips of those arrows They don't come back with them. They dispose of really out in the forest It's just too dangerous too dangerous to have around the kids the toddlers that are working around Oh, yeah, because toddlers are walking around with those and arrows already There they have a bow and arrow before they're able to walk So they're just the sharpened wooden tips without the poison
