[00:00:05]by take care.

[00:00:10]>> Thank you for everything.

[00:00:12]>> Byebye.

[00:00:20]>> We're done with uh parts of China. We still have Tibet China to do.

[00:00:27]There is an hour 45 minutes of driving till we reach um till we reach the the guide.

[00:00:41]10 weeks after entering China with our home on wheels, the albatross, we're finally heading deep in the heart of the Tibetan plateau all the way to the legendary city of Lassa. This stretch might be our most regulated drive of the entire world tour. After four years across the Americas, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, this is the first time we'll be accompanied full-time by a local guide. The only way to enter Tibet as a foreigner. Will we still be able to move freely even with a guide? Will the albatross handle the altitudes? Will we be able to see authentic Tibet? In front of us there is 1,610 kilometers across the Tibetan plateau all the way to Lassa. It started the hard way but what a legendary finish.

[00:02:08]First me to find our guide. Everyone meet Saring.

[00:02:13]>> I warmly welcome travelers around the world to see our lovely unique culture and tradition. Here on my hand I do have a very long enough white scarf which is a symbolic of like humble compassion and uh welcoming with the word of greeting tashi dele which means may wish you in great health and long life.

[00:02:36]>> Welcome to welcome. Thank you very much.

[00:02:38]Thank you so much.

[00:02:39]>> Beautiful.

[00:02:40]>> Oh, I love it.

[00:02:41]>> Thank you so much.

[00:02:43]>> So, for the next two weeks, we will be traveling with Sing who is sitting behind.

[00:02:48]>> Siring is showing us the original border into Tibet. It's this gate. Uh the new border is further and that's where we're heading. The actual entry into Tibet.

[00:03:00]Eunan. Tibet. Yunan.

[00:03:11]We've been in the Chinese mountains for a while now, but the moment we enter Tibet, everything changes. We instantly feel smaller. Tibet scale is hardly matched. Even the biggest trucks suddenly feel tiny on this mountain range. saying loss and tells us here we call these hills until just a few years ago the road we are on was nothing more than a dirt track. It hits us that we are few travelers to have ever driven these roads. We are at the checkpoint between Tibet and mainland China. I'm laughing because I saw this document again. It's Nicola's Chinese temporary driving license. And he looks like an actual drug trafficker. He looks like he's been he's been like flagged by Interpol for something. I look distorted, but I look okay. He really looks like a truck. Pay attention if you see this individual.

[00:04:16]>> We at the checkpoint between Yunan and Tibet province and the guide had to come out and all this paperwork with stamps and everything.

[00:04:24]>> We've been here for like 10 15 minutes.

[00:04:26]They're still checking. Yeah, just mostly paperwork and I think his computer's not working well. But >> we made it across Tibet's checkpoint, but we quickly realized this journey would be more complicated than planned.

[00:04:41]Our stay in a small village family hotel had been preapproved. But as soon as we crossed the checkpoint, everything changed. We were denied access to the village and required to stay in a government hotel.

[00:04:56]hotel.

[00:04:56]>> Oh, thank you very much.

[00:05:01]>> Hello.

[00:05:17]As much as we didn't choose to come to this place and it was kind of imposed on us, it's very nice. So that's the official government hotel of the area.

[00:05:27]And the only issue for us and our guide is that it was pretty expensive. The the room was maybe the equivalent of €8. We were hoping to be in the Saltfield Village meeting a local family, but we're here now. We're choosing to go to Tibet.

[00:05:47]>> Okay, let's >> go to Tibet, but the car is damaged. The rear bra shaft has one bolt that is super loose. So, there's only three left out of the four. And so, it's got to hold that whole weight of the car and torsion that bar. So, when we're going up because we're only 5,200 m, that means we're going uphill and all that force has to push the car up on four bolts in the back, three in the front.

[00:06:16]So, first mechanic we find, we go to him and we hopefully find one of the bulls.

[00:06:22]It's not hard to fix. It's just pretty important piece.

[00:06:26]>> So, you're saying we just entered Tibet and we might risk to get stopped any second?

[00:06:32]>> Yep.

[00:06:38]>> Because every force like this, if it breaks, then the car is fine.

[00:06:42]>> Then the car has >> Which way? This guy.

[00:06:44]>> Here. Here.

[00:06:45]>> Okay.

[00:06:46]Maybe he can do it.

[00:06:47]>> Yeah, he has a lot.

[00:06:49]>> And let me try and get on the flap over there.

[00:06:53]>> Business is fixing up the car.

[00:06:56]>> I like this guy. I think he can do the job.

[00:06:58]>> I feel like this guy is a real guy. He seems like he has everything. He has all the knowledge. And on top of it, it's not just about the tools, just about the creativity. I'm sure he'll figure out some creative way to just do it. Let's see what happens. It's funny. Within our first 24 hours in Tibet, the most authentic experience came from a morning at the mechanic.

[00:07:38]There's something real about a workshop.

[00:07:40]Life happening around. People talking about everyday matters. Hands working together. It's simple and teaches a lot about a place and its people.

[00:07:49]>> We got the bolt that was broken off. Now we're going to have to fix the screw.

[00:07:55]>> Then we should be able to tighten the bolt. And I have one spare only one. But he said he might have some. But before putting that, we have to fix the screw, which is this. This is the bolt. And see how it's not supposed to move. It's >> like supposed to be perfect. Our one of them is just turning in circles.

[00:08:14]>> Check out this organizing.

[00:08:17]>> The guy is spray painted the shadow of the tools he has in each drawer. So we spray printed the thing on like hammer and after the government hotel, it feels like real life now. It's pretty cool.

[00:08:35]>> My friend, >> my friend just gave me a snack.

[00:08:40]>> Do you want a snack?

[00:08:42]>> Ah, I'll kill you. My hands are >> So this is the home of the mechanic.

[00:08:47]You can see the portraits of the China leader in the back with flowers. There's a tonga, religious tanga on the right of the portrait of Shi Jinping.

[00:09:00]There's a fire stone, some couches, calendars.

[00:09:12]Our friend found an old part similar to ours. So he took the screw from this.

[00:09:20]Now does it fit other? No problem.

[00:09:32]>> Boom. We've been here since an hour and the part goes back in the fancy hotel where we were. They were selling like expensive spas. But this mechanic washes hands with the spring water. Hot spring water.

[00:09:47]>> Can we take shower? Take shower.

[00:09:52]>> Wow. So hot.

[00:09:57]>> Payment.

[00:10:02]>> Boom. Our first adventure at the workshop. Yeah. for a selfie with the guy. Let's go, dude.

[00:10:07]>> All right, Nick. You're at the same level as the mountain peaks.

[00:10:31]>> Yeah, we're at 3,800 m right now. So good. And we're going up to 5,140.

[00:10:37]I think it'll be the highest elbow has ever been to Heat.

[00:11:17]Heat.

[00:11:49]4,93 94 95 6 7 8 9 W 5,000 m setting.

[00:12:03]>> Yes.

[00:12:06]>> Wow.

[00:12:07]>> Pass.

[00:12:08]>> Yeah. Tongua pass. So we're now at 5,10 m. Elbow has never been this high.

[00:12:14]>> No, we stopped at 5,000. I remember >> last time.

[00:12:18]>> Yeah.

[00:12:19]>> In Bolivia.

[00:12:20]>> All right. So, just kided by a bit.

[00:12:24]>> Ah, and we continue climbing.

[00:12:27]>> We're still going up up up.

[00:12:32]>> Wow.

[00:12:32]>> 5,130.

[00:12:37]>> Can you believe it?

[00:12:41]>> We are at 5, >> 130 m. And it's the highest alo I've ever >> Yeah.

[00:12:49]13. This is route 318.

[00:12:54]>> High five setting.

[00:12:58]Nice. Woohoo.

[00:13:01]This is the highest we've been with the albatross. In Bolivia, we reached 5,000 m, but that was on a remote dirt track.

[00:13:09]Back home, elevations like these don't even exist. Here, we're driving on a paved road at extreme altitude. There's simply no comparison. Tibet feels incredibly extreme. Talking with Saring over a meal, we can't help but laugh as we begin to understand just how different the Tibetan perspective on elevation really is.

[00:13:30]>> Our first Tibetan restaurant was showing us on the map where he comes from like until there no problem. Then he says, "Oh, this mountain show you. I see it from my home." And I'm like, "Wow, it's like the seventh highest in the world."

[00:13:48]>> Sixth highest in the world.

[00:13:49]>> Sixth highest in the world. And he says, >> "Very easy to climb. 8,200 m.

[00:13:58]>> So you easy climb." Oh, wow.

[00:14:03]>> That's a bit.

[00:14:05]>> So how many 8,000 did you climb?

[00:14:09]>> Show you.

[00:14:10]>> Show you.

[00:14:11]>> Uh-huh. Yeah. You went to Everest above 8.

[00:14:13]>> Everest two times. I did >> two times. Okay.

[00:14:16]>> And uh Shisha Bangma which is closer by.

[00:14:21]>> Okay.

[00:14:22]>> The 14th highest people speak in the world. Not to the top but >> somewhere.

[00:14:25]>> Okay.

[00:14:26]>> You are strong man.

[00:14:27]>> You're a strong man.

[00:14:28]>> This is very normal in my hometown.

[00:14:30]>> Yeah. Everyone is a porter or goes there.

[00:14:33]>> My friends all day.

[00:14:36]>> My friends all day been in talk with North.

[00:14:40]>> Oh okay. Okay. Okay, >> so now we're on a new road 318 G3.

[00:14:47]>> This is the big one. And this is the pass. This is the road all the way till Nepal. This one.

[00:14:52]>> Don't stick off, but don't come off the road. Always straight straight.

[00:14:55]Straight.

[00:14:56]>> You arrive in >> 50 m.

[00:14:59]>> 50 m.

[00:15:04]>> Hey. Oh no. Open the gate.

[00:15:08]>> So we are in the same region than yesterday. And in this region the authority said sleep in the hotel. So once again >> at the hotel.

[00:15:16]>> We are at the hotel they asked us to go to but already the fixing this morning plus the drive of today I say it was a success.

[00:15:24]>> Yeah.

[00:15:24]>> Once again the authorities asked us to check into a government hotel in a city.

[00:15:31]We are hoping for the last time. And the next morning Tibet had a surprise waiting for us.

[00:15:58]Wow, look at the snow falling outside.

[00:16:06]It's so much Awesome, huh? This is so cool.

[00:16:24]>> I'm not a huge fan of snow until a huge fan of snow. But I love driving when it's snowing. That is cool. Or skiing or snowboarding. Okay, team.

[00:16:33]>> Let's go.

[00:16:34]>> We go. Hopefully when it gets touched >> touch the leg >> leaving the city behind.

[00:16:54]>> Today is going to be extra How many hours today without the snow?

[00:17:02]>> Sorry. How many uh hours of driving without the snow? Normally >> four hours and something.

[00:17:08]>> Oh, today's only four hours and something.

[00:17:10]>> Not not stopping.

[00:17:12]>> Wow.

[00:17:12]>> I love this weather. It's the most beautiful weather possible.

[00:17:16]>> This is called the land of snow.

[00:17:18]>> Land of snow.

[00:17:20]>> Also, we can see the snow starts sticking on the road.

[00:17:42]First car in a ditch. But I'll go to the rescue.

[00:17:56]>> Having fun, huh?

[00:17:57]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:18:05]Well, we are refilling our good karma right now as much as possible. Thank you, Ted, for helping. Thank you, Matil.

[00:18:14]They're back out of the hole and ready to go.

[00:18:17]>> The holiday does not end there.

[00:18:23]Heat. Heat.

[00:18:57]Heat.

[00:19:09]Heat.

[00:19:30]We drive mountain pass after mountain pass from snowcovered peaks to dry canyons while massive tracks grind their way across the plateau. The albatross goes along their side. It feels like we're witnessing a thousand different landscapes in a single day. A billion turns, a billion wow moments, and a billion trucks to pass.

[00:20:05]We exit the tunnel and boom, we see this giant mountain full of snow in front of us.

[00:20:12]Epic. Epic.

[00:20:28]It's really a centimeter one end, a cime the other.

[00:20:32]>> Yeah.

[00:20:37]>> Life is a movie. Life is a fun.

[00:20:40]>> Beautiful. This is exactly the adventure we've been looking for, huh?

[00:20:44]>> Yep.

[00:20:45]>> Yeah.

[00:20:46]There's trucks everywhere.

[00:20:50]Oh, dude, he's so close.

[00:20:58]But what truly catches our attention on this road to Lassa is something else entirely. Notice these people on the side of the road. These are the Tibetan pilgrims from all over the region. Wait, wait, wait. All over the country. These walk thousands of kilometers over months to reach Lassa. old and young men and women slowly and painfully making the journey. Some walk, but some also do full body prostration. Three steps, lie down, stand up. Three steps, lie down, repeat. We pass dozens of them. And we're still 846 kilometers away from Lassa. It will take them weeks to reach there.

[00:21:49]This is how special Lassa is.

[00:22:35]4,400 m. And the mountain back there 6,600 and something covered with snow and snow >> yesterday or two nights ago. So whole different landscape now.

[00:22:47]>> It's so pretty here.

[00:22:48]>> Look at Albo just living in its natural habitat in the snow. Prayer flags.

[00:22:55]>> It's a good spot. It's a good spot. And look at this. It's not even that cold.

[00:22:58]We're just wearing small sweaters at 4 4.4K up. So >> not bad at all.

[00:23:03]>> I I trust steering. I think today is going to like try to make us things different from the normal road.

[00:23:09]>> I think so. And hopefully he he'll find a really cool camp spot for us tonight where we're allowed to sleep. Uh because we just we can't just go anywhere. So >> can you tell us how people can do to get people like >> book with China Road Trips? Edward is the best. China Road trips is the best.

[00:23:28]You bet he'll put you up with an awesome guide. You can choose how many days you want to go. They're super helpful. every time we had a car problem or we had things to order or whatever, they were always on it. They're super helpful and they're freaking available all the time on WhatsApp. So honestly, China road trips all the way. with them if you go to China.

[00:23:48]>> Email and phone number in description.

[00:23:50]Singing taught us every mountain pass, every summit we need to do >> we are offering to the spirit. Pretty cool snow.

[00:24:04]>> As we believe that in this universal is not only the humans and animals who are living in this universal but we have a same share a specific living with the many spirits who are invisible but they have a same needed of uh love and warm kindness.

[00:24:22]>> I like that.

[00:24:23]>> So that's why we every high passes we used to yell as loud as possible. Kiki soul. Hey yellow. Hey yellow. Hey, yellow.

[00:24:33]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:24:36]Hello.

[00:24:36]>> Victory to the gods. May all ascendant beings free from suffering.

[00:24:44]I love it. Thank you so much, Steing, for teaching us.

[00:25:16]Hord.

[00:25:24]Woohoo.

[00:25:46]Taring has become more than just a guide. He's become a friend. Together, we shout blessings at mountain passes, at high altitude lakes, learning more every day about his culture. He understands we're not here just to take boxes. We want to experience the real Tibet. So he takes us off the main road to some of his favorite spots east of Lassa. He calls it the Swiss Alps of Tibet. For many people from Europe or North America, it might not seem extraordinary, but here it's rare. Most of Tibet is high altitude desert and suddenly there are forests, wide rivers and life everywhere. This valley is truly unique.

[00:26:30]Interesting village we stop at. There's a pool table >> here randomly.

[00:26:36]Little Tibetan farms. I love their woodwork and their paintings. And this one is pretty old, but sometimes they repaint it. It's still really nice. And the decorations on the houses.

[00:26:49]And then on the other side, the fields for the Bali.

[00:26:55]the yaks in the background.

[00:26:59]It's nice.

[00:27:01]So, we wanted to eat Momo.

[00:27:05]>> We wanted to eat Momo. This is the restaurant, but the guy's not here.

[00:27:11]>> So, Momos.

[00:27:12]>> Yeah. Explain us. What's the hype with the Momo?

[00:27:15]>> So, it's like dumplings, but better.

[00:27:22]We found the lady and the mas are getting ready.

[00:27:32]>> Nice. You found the >> I know >> heating system.

[00:27:35]>> Nice and warm.

[00:27:37]>> I think tearing is in nirvana. Absence of suffering.

[00:27:42]>> Peace.

[00:27:42]>> Peace.

[00:27:44]The best momo in all of >> Tibetan Tibetan pork.

[00:27:53]>> I need to try.

[00:27:59]>> Ready.

[00:28:00]>> M. They are really good.

[00:28:05]>> Momo.

[00:28:06]>> Momo.

[00:28:07]>> So, see they are different.

[00:28:08]>> They're thicker taste.

[00:28:09]>> Thicker. It's just the the meat inside.

[00:28:11]I think the herbs also used.

[00:28:13]I don't know. It just has a different taste.

[00:28:17]>> It's like pasta. Like all the different pastas look the same, but they kind of have a different taste. It's hard to explain.

[00:28:23]>> But here the dough is very different from the >> you put inside different thin thin.

[00:28:33]>> Okay.

[00:28:47]Yeah, really nice.

[00:28:48]>> Where is Tilling bringing us?

[00:28:51]>> Singing is going to bring us somewhere cool where we can live. Have you brought other travelers here?

[00:28:55]>> Not yet. First time.

[00:28:57]>> Really?

[00:28:59]>> Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.

[00:29:00]>> Tibet number one in China for sure for me. You know what? Today has been the favorite day in China. Like literally.

[00:29:08]Even though it's a lot of driving, it felt like we were back in Argentina and Argentina is our favorite country in the world and Tibet being so similar today high up on the list. So today uh he understood that we prefer not being in hotels and kind of nature and what type of landscapes we like. So he tried to call a friend who also does these these things and he found a spot and we'll show you very soon that is pretty cool, right? Exciting. Hello, Niha.

[00:29:40]>> It's his house.

[00:29:42]>> I think his son.

[00:29:44]>> His son.

[00:29:47]Beautiful. Huh? What do you think, Matild?

[00:29:51]>> Love it. I love it.

[00:29:54]>> So, we've got a few Tibetan wooden structured houses with tin roofs and colorful uh columns.

[00:30:04]I think this might be the lobby. dining area. Looks like they're gonna grow something here. Got this little dude.

[00:30:12]And our guide, I think the son of the owner of this place.

[00:30:18]>> Mountains. Mountains.

[00:30:22]>> Beautiful.

[00:30:31]Are you sure?

[00:30:40]>> Okay.

[00:31:45]So, >> so >> walk us through your new system. Well, first of all, we're back in Elbow after like five nights of not sleeping in Elbow. Secondly, I have my uh new diversion for the diesel heater. So, before we only had it from here, and it was uh shooting full blast from here. We bought like a a T-section diversion that now shoots up here at 50%. Down here at 50%. The reason we did that because our feet here were always so cold and our heads were too warm cuz it was just going straight up. So now that it's doing that, we'll be warm all around.

[00:32:20]Huh?

[00:32:21]>> It's happy.

[00:32:21]>> Yeah. It's just the little things that really just make a difference.

[00:32:24]>> Let me try.

[00:32:25]>> Yeah.

[00:32:28]>> It's going to warm up the ground so well.

[00:32:30]>> Yeah. So >> I love it.

[00:32:31]>> Yeah.

[00:32:35]>> It's the It's the good installation.

[00:32:47]We've been awake since 7:30. Yo, >> why?

[00:32:54]>> Today we're driving to the legendary Lassa.

[00:32:58]>> Lassa and its monasteries hidden in the Tibetan valleys, the capital of the province.

[00:33:07]>> Yeah.

[00:33:23]Go go go.

[00:33:53]Heat. Heat.

[00:34:00]Heat.

[00:34:13]Heat.

[00:34:31]One more high pass before reaching Lassa. The last one. Ting tells us about a hidden place in the mountains. A sacred spring where 18 nuns live in isolation in the cliffs above the city.

[00:34:47]At 4,000 m, we begin the hike. burning rodendron branches, following ladders painted onto the rocks to guide Buddha down to the living on earth, and slowly climbing toward a sacred spring.

[00:35:03]Then at last, we catch our first glimpse of the Botala Palace, the symbol of Lassa and of Tibet.

[00:35:13]We can see the palace far away in the valley. So nice.

[00:35:19]Heat. Heat.

[00:35:59]We had tiny tiny houses next to the cliffs.

[00:36:11]Small doors.

[00:36:13]What I love is the electricity counter.

[00:36:20]Hello.

[00:36:22]Oh, wow.

[00:36:24]Hello.

[00:36:26]Hello.

[00:36:36]Okay. Are we friends?

[00:36:40]>> So cute.

[00:36:43]So many.

[00:36:44]>> You're so cute.

[00:36:46]>> Singing always bring food in his bag for animals.

[00:36:52]>> It's a mess.

[00:36:55]>> Hey, doggy dogs.

[00:36:56]>> Nikki's making friends.

[00:37:09]>> You found the spring.

[00:37:12]Yes.

[00:37:13]>> Hey, touch the leg.

[00:37:16]>> The leg, huh?

[00:37:41]She's actually really fast cuz we crossed her at the village. When we got to the village, she went down and she's already on her way back up.

[00:37:49]So, she's really quick. She went down and up. We only went halfway down.

[00:37:53]>> What are they doing?

[00:37:54]>> I feel like they're bringing food up to the other nuns.

[00:38:20]It's really nice.

[00:38:21]>> Wow.

[00:38:23]>> I like this on the right. Okay, we'll walk there later.

[00:38:27]>> The buildings are so cool.

[00:38:33]That's funny.

[00:38:34]>> No, you got the truck truck to another.

[00:38:38]>> Thank you. And how >> there's many fabric shops that look super nice.

[00:39:05]Come on video step.

[00:39:21]>> Woohoo.

[00:39:23]>> So Lassa, no choice. We have a list of hotels where foreigners are allowed to stay. So that's where we're staying. Uh but uh Ting found a hotel right in the center so we can walk around. I swear we've never been that much in hotel than since we're in Tibet.

[00:39:40]We have nice bathroom and nice bedroom. And the best part, what's great in Lassa is the buildings cannot be higher than the palace. It's the first significant size city that we see where you don't have like super high towers everywhere. And it's actually quite nice because you can see the mountains everywhere.

[00:40:14]Welcome back.

[00:41:16]We've seen it.

[00:41:17]>> I know. Bam.

[00:41:40]Heat. Heat.

[00:42:03]Wow.

[00:42:04]>> Really? When you come here and it passes the curtain, >> you know, it's been four years and even more that we've seen this palace on photos. And it's crazy. 4 years later.

[00:42:14]It took us four years to finally get here with our own car and we're actually here walking through it. It's it is as impressive as on the photos.

[00:42:22]>> Yeah. And I don't know the fact that we drove from far away till here going up up up like you see that all the pilgrims they walk and they surface through it.

[00:42:32]We didn't surface through it but we feel like very emotional of getting here. I mean I feel very This is the best mom in Lassa.

[00:43:06]>> Yes. The best handmade mom.

[00:43:17]>> Wow. Happiness level.

[00:43:22]>> Well, really high because momos are I miss those in a while.

[00:43:26]>> We're sharing with a beautiful and elegant woman.

[00:43:28]>> Yeah.

[00:43:30]>> Yeah.

[00:43:31]would like to uh greet or would like to gesture, you can call her Amala.

[00:43:50]>> These people, they have been walking for the past weeks, maybe even months. I don't know from where they're coming, but they've been doing the prostration.

[00:43:56]Three steps down, three steps down. So they usually end their trip here and they come and get photos. Their family comes and joins them, celebrates them.

[00:44:03]Here we've got three ladies and you can just imagine the hardship and the challenge they went through and they just went through all of that. Crazy.

[00:44:16]This is our last evening in Lassa. Nick is done with fixing all the parts of the car that were broken. He received the last package, set it up with the guys.

[00:44:28]He made good friend on the way. They went to have lunch.

[00:44:32]We're heading to Nepal next week.

[00:44:35]Heading toward the border. So, it's one last week in Tibet. And so, tonight we were going for Nepali Indian food. And saying our guide gave us a Nepali Indian restaurant. He says it's delicious.

[00:44:54]Food delivery.

[00:44:55]>> Nice Nepali Indian food. Our little TV show, Drive to Survive, for the ones who know. It's back out.

[00:45:03]>> We're ready to go to Nepal.

[00:45:04]>> Yeah, we're ready to go to Nepal.

[00:45:06]>> Road to Nepal next week. Now we enjoy the Nepali food.

[00:45:10]>> So good. It smells really good.

[00:45:17]Next week on our way to Nepal, we have to cross the Himalayan mountain range.

[00:45:23]Yes, the highest mountain range on the planet. High elevation desert. The most exceptional drive and peaks above 8,000 m elevation. So close we can almost high-five them. Next week we bring you to Everest.

[00:45:42]Those seeds are actually pretty hard to eat.

[00:45:48]You have a a little cover on the seed.

[00:45:51]So, they just finish it. They try to get the inside seed in their mouth. And then they spit the outside part, but it requires quite a bit of skills. And I'm just spitting I think half of the good and half of the bad. Lucky for me, I like the outside.

[00:46:10]Oh, baby.

[00:46:13]I just want to tell you that.

[00:46:16]>> No, no, no.

[00:46:22]All of my friends say, "Girl, you better take care.
