I'm going to go and make some breakfast.
Oh, there you go.
Where's the rum for breakfast?
Oh, we got it upstairs.
That goes well with the coffee.
I'm ready, I'm ready.
Alright, let's go.
I'm not joking.
With an espresso.
The cocoa chocolate rum.
This hotel is also a distillery.
Unfortunately, we have no time for it.
Morning, boss.
Yo, where's the rum at?
What's that? The rum.
Right there.
You know, I'll have a double espresso
and this on the side.
That's the best thing, guys.
When you come to Punta Gorda,
come here.
Gopali Tree Lodge.
Try some of this rum.
My man here is making me a little double espresso.
Would you guys mind
turning the volume up before I copyright strike?
Would you mind turning it up?
Or like lowering it to the max?
Sorry.
No, lower, lower.
So here we go.
Sorry, guys.
This is the view.
I'm going to make some fry jacks.
Let her know I'm coming in to film
the fry jack making.
Same thing as yesterday.
Tell her that. Stuffed fry jack.
We're going to do a little shot here.
We're going to do a double espresso and
a little double espresso.
Let me see. Is this sturdy?
We have 40 people here. Say hi.
Hello.
You guys should come to Gopali Tree sometime soon.
Yeah, for sure, man.
Guys, come to this hotel.
Look at this. You guys will love this hotel.
It ain't cheap.
It's like $500 a night, but it's definitely worth it.
Right?
Harder money for this.
I'll tell you, dude, I slept really well
in that bed.
Thankfully, I didn't pay for this bill.
This is how we do it in Italy.
I'll tell you guys where I'm from
in Italy.
My uncle
in Italy, every morning
when we wake up, he's like,
Davide, do you want some coffee?
I'm like, yeah,
Zio, I want some coffee.
This is still low.
Come on, guys.
My Italian uncle,
he's like,
you need to have
the coffee.
Grappa is still great.
It's the best.
It is literally a chocolate bar
with pepper.
Next to it,
but now, it's like
infused, plus the espresso
bean with chocolate.
Altogether, it's fire.
Woo!
Espresso martini. I don't like
rum, but this is insane.
Chocolate. I'm a chocolatier, bro.
Honestly, I'm not a chocolatier.
I don't make chocolate, but I eat a lot.
Still a chocolatier.
Once chocolate is involved, you're a chocolatier.
Yeah, for sure. Leave me my espresso there.
I'll come back for them.
Let's go in here. Let's see.
This is how I roll into the kitchen.
Where my chef at?
Chef.
Chef, where'd you go?
I'm here.
You ready to make some stuffed jacks?
Yeah. Let's do a stuffed jack.
Now it gets interesting.
Make mine...
You want it spicy?
Why not?
I do have my
hot sauce right here.
Oh, really?
Yeah. I'm going to put it with it.
You'll try it after, okay?
Alright, sure.
We've got 33 people here.
We need some more likes.
Chef!
My other chef friend.
I love you.
You came with me on the boat, made some good food.
Thank you.
And here we have the dough
for the fried jacks.
Fried jacks
is the same thing as a funnel cake.
It's just Belizean version, right?
I'm a flight student.
After this, straight to the plane.
Alright.
Is it going to be stuffed jack or fried jacks?
Stuffed.
We're going to make a stuffed jack.
The difference between stuffed jacks and fried jacks...
You know what? Let's make both.
Okay.
Stuffed jacks is like an omelette
inside a fried jack,
which is almost like a huge empanada.
And then
fried jacks is just dough, puffy.
No, we start with this.
Chorizo? Yes, sir.
That's regular jacks.
Fried jacks.
Guys, give this video a thumbs up, please.
And that is a fried jack.
And when my friend comes here,
he's going to have a
stuffed jack as well.
My friend is faxing with his brother
to get some likes.
We lost the internet for a second.
So right here, we're making
an omelette.
We got some bell peppers, some onions,
and some chorizo. What's going to happen is
once she's done with that, she's going to add a few eggs.
And then she's going to stuff it into
the jack, then fry the jack. It's going to be awesome.
I'm hungry too.
I'm hungry.
This morning I'm hungry.
Guys, some likes.
31 people, if you need some likes.
A little scramble.
Alright, I'll talk to you guys.
Put some sauce in it.
Oh, it's going to be great.
We're going to add the sauce into the fried jack.
Smash the like button, guys.
Smash that.
So yesterday,
I filmed this for my documentary.
But this is
for live. This is live right now
on YouTube. Oh, really?
You guys can watch it right now.
So we can add the sauce here?
The pepper sauce?
Got to open it up.
It hasn't been opened yet.
My hand is slippery from the oil.
Oh, no problem.
Oh yeah, I got a little...
Like that? More, more, more.
Really that much?
That's good, that's good.
I still need it to finish off.
Yeah.
And that is a stuffed jack.
Look at that. Massive.
It's a big meal.
I've had it, what?
One time so far.
I had fried jack the first morning and I had
stuffed jack the second morning.
Some good ASMR right there.
Look at that.
All that golden brown, that oil.
What oil did you use? Vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil.
Probably the easiest one for this, right?
47 people here.
Please guys, hit that like button.
Hit that like button. We need some people
to hit that like.
20 minutes rolling.
Thanks, bro. Thanks.
I need
a thousand likes, bro.
You know, if people come in and everybody hits the like,
YouTube pushes to more people.
Smash that like button, my friends.
How long does it take? 2 minutes?
About 3 minutes.
Yeah, because the eggs are already cooked.
Yeah, everything is cooked.
Oh, yeah.
That is nice.
40 likes.
I'm going to plate it.
Thanks, Monica. I appreciate that, Monica.
She's going to clean the plate.
Make a presentation.
Let me ask you.
Who has a phone there?
We'll take a photo of me and her with the
stuffed jack.
Before you cut it. You mind taking a photo of me and her?
Hold on.
Sorry, guys.
Need a thumbnail for this.
Here.
It's hot.
I'm burning my hand.
You know what? Here. Help me out.
Before you cut. Come here.
Hey, guys.
You're going to lose this for a second, guys.
One sec. Here you go.
There you have it.
Fried jack. Perfect.
I'll take my sauce back.
I need it.
I'm going to give it to you later.
I'm going to take this to go.
This is going to be epic.
Thank you guys so much.
Thank you.
Here we go.
Breakfast of champions.
Morning. How are you doing?
Right there.
Sorry, guys. Let me set up for you guys.
What's the sauce?
This is my sauce.
A lot of people here at this hotel.
Is anybody here?
Time for me to talk to Chuck.
Thank you.
Except my daughter.
My daughter doesn't like pudding.
Mom loves breakfast.
But crispy.
Spilling.
It's a breakfast sandwich.
Breakfast fried jack.
Goes everywhere in the rainforest.
In this hotel,
local guys
give us hot sauce.
It's a different hot sauce.
It's already mixed.
I'll mix some more of the sauces.
I'm going to have to go to the bathroom.
Heat it up.
Water, bro.
Thanks so much, man.
It was good?
What do you think of me mixing sauces here?
I actually like doing that too.
That was the best ranch chicken ever.
It's the best dipping sauce for the
stuffed jack.
It's somewhat like a
sour cream mix.
It's the best
dipping sauce for that stuffed jack.
Enjoy, man.
The dipping sauce, but you make it hot.
Enjoy.
This is a spiked espresso.
We just made,
in case you guys missed it.
We just made this stuffed jack.
Which is their version
of an empanada.
What up, Trinidad?
I'm right now in the
beautiful area
of Punta Gorda, Belize.
I'm actually going to be having breakfast
here, having lunch at the airport,
having dinner in Miami.
How many Belize videos?
It's 15 total from that series.
Probably another four from this series.
What about it?
And where is Nate?
I'm waiting for Nate. We have a plane to catch right now.
I want a breakfast.
I'm just getting away from being here.
There's some people. Where's everybody from?
Give me some likes, too.
That's so satisfying.
I'm ready. I have no idea.
Here's the heat.
Nigga, you're hilarious.
It's so hot here.
The heat out.
I love Seychelles.
Diana, you're a legend.
Thanks, bro.
Where is Brandon? Where is Nate?
He's up there.
I'm fighting a cold the whole trip.
I'm done eating.
I gotta get out of here.
I love Barbados.
There's a lot of fish down there.
Where's Riri?
I've been on 32 minutes. I wanted to see how long
from the second that
yesterday's world cup was.
Thanks so much.
Yep.
Maybe the allergies. No.
Spice.
Spice is on another level.
But that thing also
had my spice in it.
Karina, I don't know.
Are you inviting me?
You know I might do Carnival 2024.
Let's see how this next
seven, eight months go.
A lot of things happening.
A lot of trips.
Trying to buy a place.
Trying to buy a place in Kosovo.
Just
working hard.
I like doing these lives while I'm
traveling, especially around the subject.
To be honest with you, it would have been way better
if Nate would have been with me.
The tourism board
separated us because this hotel
was completely overbooked.
Then people cancelled.
But still, the complication.
I don't want to get too deep into it.
Unfortunately,
Nate had to stay about an hour
outside of here.
I'm waiting for him.
Who else is here?
Yeah, man. I love Kosovo.
What do my
Serbian friends think about that?
I don't know. They don't talk, so
maybe I don't have any.
Karina, you're too much.
No, the breakfast
is epic.
Favorite dish on this trip? Probably that one.
Stuffed Jack.
We have 49 people here
watching. Thank you so much.
So yeah, again,
Nate's not here,
I'm trying my best to keep my cool.
A lot of things happening.
A lot of great things happening here.
David's been here.
I can't believe I'm going to Kosovo.
It's going to be epic.
This is a fishing trip.
I came here for a fishing trip.
I'm in Southern Belize.
Any questions?
Is El Salvador safe? No, I've already been to El Salvador.
I'm going to go into Brazil.
So the next place is
Luxembourg, Indonesia.
And then after that, I don't know.
Yeah, of course,
lots of stuff happening on the website.
If you guys haven't been to Morocco, check it out.
David'sbeenhere.com
I'm trying to go to Greenland.
The trip was extremely expensive.
It was starting
at $25,000 for me
and one other person to go
to film the stuff we need to film.
We'll see.
I'm just looking for the opportunity.
Especially now,
once I pass the 100 country mark,
I'm not too worried about more and more.
Obviously, I do have a list of countries
I'm trying to go to
in the next three years.
The next three years are the most important.
Two and a half years.
In terms of my age,
I'm 40.
Only the 40
on this rhythm.
We'll see.
I just pinned Brandon's message
which has our website.
It's a brand new website.
We launched it about six months ago.
Brandon's been working really hard
writing articles,
basically stuff from my trip.
Sharing tips, suggestions,
different things you can do.
Yeah, it's fine.
I mean,
for most of you who don't know,
or the people who haven't
really started the Caribbean,
the state of Argentina,
not only the Argentina,
they're probably falling apart.
The Caribbean has been heavily influenced
by India, heavily.
That's why you have so many things.
They look like
Papaji.
Napapaji, Apori, all that stuff.
Very similar.
Yes, tea.
Tea, yes, for sure.
I'm having espresso with cacao.
Which is fine.
I want to see how long it takes.
I talked to Nate when this live started.
I texted him, we're live.
He's like, I just got in the car.
Let's see how long it takes.
It's 36 minutes of work.
Couple working hard.
Look at that heat.
I'm not going to any place
I've been to again
unless it's a job.
What does the ocean
mean in Spanish?
What is ocean?
How do you say it?
What up?
I really want to see what my friend does.
Nate's crazy.
I hear that laughing.
I'm going to go downstairs
and see if he's here.
I have 46 people here.
I don't know if this is the room.
I'm going to check on it right now.
It may be property.
They have a distillery.
I have their rum and semi-espresso.
I don't really
drink anymore.
I was like,
I'll have a beer.
I'll have a rum.
Thank you.
It's crazy
how crowded this room is.
It's 746.
What's amazing is that
in an hour and 15 minutes,
my flight takes off from the airport.
I don't know how much longer I'll be here.
I really want to see if Nate gets here.
Then I'll go pack my stuff
and get out of here.
I'm only keeping up with the heat in the lake.
Let's see what's happening.
Looks like LeBron's out.
LeBron's done, basically.
Down 0-3, if possible.
Here, up 2-0.
Tonight's game 3.
Hopefully, we come up 3-0 and close the battle in two days.
That's it.
53 people here.
Please smash that like button.
If you don't see it on your screen,
please find it.
For sure, Nicky.
I've been trying to do more and more of these.
It depends on when we have internet.
It's hard right here.
We have some strong Wi-Fi.
I want to do more of these, of course.
Like I was saying,
when I'm in Belgium,
whenever I'm not filming heavily
in a shoot,
I turn it off.
The thing is that we want to do
these lives
around something.
Me talking like this is great for you guys,
but at the same time, it's not great for algorithm.
What the algorithm wants to see is
people-specific subject,
and then I try to rank higher
for that subject.
Thanks, Karina.
You're beautiful, by the way.
From that profile picture,
you look beautiful. I'm single,
so I'm allowed to do that.
That's how tough it is.
I'll see you after.
Have a good time, buddy.
We'll be here.
There you are.
40 minutes, bro.
I'll get it right now.
Take two seconds.
20?
I didn't get a text because I'm on this.
My friend.
Hey, how are you doing?
Can she make another stuffed jack?
We have like 20 minutes.
We have to be quick.
Quick, quick.
We're back in the kitchen
because they just got here. We need the jack.
Sorry.
We just need another stuffed fried jack.
Sorry about that.
We literally have to go to the plane.
We have a plane in
an hour and 20 minutes.
Same thing.
Yes.
Same thing.
Yeah.
It's going to be two minutes.
Yes.
For me?
Sorry that we're literally in a rush
to get to the airport.
Let's go.
Thanks, bro.
Thank you, man. Thank you.
I left that headpiece.
I should have told you earlier.
Yeah, I know, right?
I didn't see his text message.
You were busy.
The problem is he's not here with me.
It took him 42 minutes to get here.
Oh, wow.
I know, right?
Crazy, crazy.
Nice chili bean batch.
Do you want the pepper sauce in here?
No, not for him.
He's anti-pepper.
How was it? Amazing.
I'm stuffed.
By the way, this is for you guys.
This one's for you.
I'm going to leave it right here.
You guys should try it, taste it, enjoy it.
They're saying you're fast.
Now we have more people here.
Yes, we do.
Clean up all that oil.
Yeah, to take off the excess oil.
Perfect.
And that's it.
I'll take it to him. No worries.
Where did he go?
Where is he?
He went downstairs.
Downstairs?
Just tell him to come here.
That's for Nate.
Here, just so you know.
I have to get my bags.
Because of me being a server.
That's great. I'm going to go pay my bill.
And then I'm going to pack it all up.
And I need some likes, guys.
More likes.
How's the team here?
How are you doing, guys?
Everything good?
I'll be back.
Let me get my stuff, actually.
Can you tell him, I think,
where is he? In this bathroom?
Just tell him it's there.
Alright.
I'll be ready.
Alright, my friends. 46 minutes in.
That's how fast she made it.
I think he got here at a 41 minute mark.
And then she did, like,
in 3 minutes it was done.
Let me show you the pool area.
I didn't show you this.
This is like a live promotion
for this beautiful property.
How you doing, bro? You good?
I'm good, man.
Let's get out of here.
I'm going.
It's like the way I've been shooting videos now.
I'll shoot very, very vloggy.
From start to finish.
I shoot different scenes.
Sometimes a journey.
You know, I didn't shoot, like, flying from Miami to
Belize, but then I shot, like, once I
landed, I started a video, so I shot
from there. And then, uh,
yeah. But,
why quality so bad? Yeah, the quality is probably bad because
the Wi-Fi
keeps jumping in and out.
Let's go here.
This is my room, number 1.
You guys can stay here when you come.
Don't take order.
Let's go.
This guy is eating.
I'm getting my bags, and I'm out of here.
Probably should tell
somebody to come get the bags.
Too many bags.
Alright, guys, I hope you enjoyed this video.
I'll see you next time.
I don't know when the next live I'm doing is,
but I'll be back in Miami very, very soon.
Got my paddle right here.
Paddle. Stuff.
And I'm out. Love you guys. Gotta go.
Gotta run. Now I'm late. Now I'm super late.
