  Speaker 1: Now, I don't want to sound ungrateful, but the year

  Speaker 1: he's allowed to travel with his spouse. Oh. So it
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't my dad making the noise about going to Germany.

  Speaker 1: It was that lady called my mother.

• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And do you know how difficult it is to find
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: out what hello in German is when there is no internet? Okay,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you guys think it was easy. No, this woman went
• 0:47

• 0:49
  Speaker 1: say hello. Jonga, everybody was being Gunntag'd there. She bought
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a bilingual dictionary, English to German. Yay, yay. And then

  Speaker 1: was when Michael Schumacher was like at the peak of
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Michael Schumacherdom, right? So everything in Germany was Ferrari because
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: he was driving for Ferrari then. So then she bought us,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the entire family, Ferrari sweaters. Good investment. Great investment. But now,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: because she was so proud of these sweaters, we even
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: had to wear them in summer. In the boiling heat, guys,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I was wearing a Ferrari sweater. Yes. And then if
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you would walk out going somewhere, she'd be like, oh,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: where are you going? You're like, out? You're not going
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to wear your sweater. It's 40 degrees in Pretoria, mom. No,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not. And I was thinking about this last night that,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you know, you get people who go somewhere.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And when they come back, that's their entire personality. Like

  Speaker 1: to be pasta, truffle oil for the rest of your lives.

• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It was my mom when she came back from China. Portions.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Everything had to be in little bowls. I said, Ma,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: we don't eat butu like this, baby. Everything was clamped
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: up in little bowls. I'm like, does it not? For
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a good 10 years, we were a family of just,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: everything was portioned out. You see, it happens. 011-8838-947-08400-00947. You
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: are also allowed to snitch on yourself in this situation.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Did you go to the UK and all of a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: sudden everything you wore had to have a scarf? And
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: then you know how those important guys, how they do
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a scarf? It's not the little wraparound situations. They take
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it and they make it into a knot. over a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: coat and then they walk fast and they wear brown
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: shoes did your family have to take to cucumber sandwiches
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: oh 011 88 38 947 who went somewhere and then
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: things changed after they came back something happened in this
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: country that they went to and then that was absolutely

  Speaker 1: it that was your lives forever the food you ate

  Speaker 5: So they buy a bultong machine.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bultong. Where did you go and you came back
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and that place was your entire personality? On the way,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you about the time my dad went to India.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: We're going to Henley on clip.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Morning, Anile. How are you? We are great. How are you?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I'm okay, thanks.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: First time on Underling the Class.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And make the circle bigger. Make the circle bigger. Show them.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Show them. Show them what you're made of. Who went
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: where and then your lives changed forever?
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: So my friend's mom went to India about 12, 13
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: years ago. And she came back and she was like, nope,
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: I'm not doing meat anymore. For five years, she was vegetarian.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Like completely no meat. And then after the five years,
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: she felt like a bit of meat and she decided
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: to go seafood. So she's been pescatarian since, but she
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: hasn't touched meat in the last 12, 13 years.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: What happened? Is it because Indian food is generally so
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: good that you find that I actually don't need meat?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Everything here, the flavor is in the flavor, not necessarily meat.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: It's that, but also from a spiritual perspective, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: I think there's something that they touched on, you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: about food. animals and how sacred they are you know
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: in the afterlife but i think it was more spiritual
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: for her than the actual place.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Oh she could was eat pray love.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: Vibes yes exactly exactly yeah so she hasn't touched me.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Yet and then wait hang on but like is it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a thing that she raises all the time or did
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it die down after like one like after one year
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: she knows she's vegetarian so it doesn't have to be
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: her entire personality at the.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Party Yeah, no, she, after that, she just kind of
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: died down, but she's been adamant that, you know what, no,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: no thanks. You know, animals are a sacred thing, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: that's it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I'm worried now, I think they're my only cures in India. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Because I will eat the side of a sheep. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: film it. I will take... I'm taking Bambi down, sir.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's the soul that needs the surgery. It is. Musanati

• 5:57
  Speaker 4: I'm good, thank you. So I went to... I did
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: six European countries, but Italy was my favorite, right? And
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: when I came back... I was such a pizza and
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: a pasta critic, guys. I'd be like, no, this pizza
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: is not right. The one we had in Italy was
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: like this. The one I had in Florence was like this.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: The one I had in Rome was like this. It
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: was my personality for a whole entire month.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And then you're just like, babe, we're at Romans. Hey,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: can you just have a bacon supreme and leave us alone?

  Speaker 1: Just have the margaritas and just leave. Can I tell
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you who was like this? Frankie. And I'm not skinnering
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: about him. You guys can tell him when he comes back.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: He went to Italy and he came back and I
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: remember we were eating pizza somewhere. They literally said to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the waitress or the owner, he's like, what flour.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Do you use?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what flour do you use?

  Speaker 4: That was me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: That was me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: That was my personality.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And then they're like, yeah, the pizzas in Italy, they
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: use a different flour that doesn't make you full. The
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: pizza in South Africa makes you full. And you're just like,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: why were you eating it? You passed time. I thought

  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: And when I got there, well, I just recently, on
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: those 10 years back, I found out that I've got
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: relatives there. So I went to visit them. And they
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: cooked me this meal with leafy greens. I don't know
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: if you know it. I don't know what it is
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: in English, but it's called ingaka.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Ingaka?
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to Google it quickly because I don't want
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to get left behind.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Ingaka.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they cooked it the way they cooked it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: In kaka leaves.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Yes.

  Speaker 2: So, and from that day, everything that I cook that
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: is leafy greens, even spinach, I put. I put.

  Speaker 1: And every time somebody walks into your house, they feel
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: like they're at a Vida coffee. Oh, thank you.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Dinada.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: And you are actually more insufferable because now you found
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: out that you've got family in Mozambique. Then you start
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: tracing it back to Angola. And then you trace it
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: back to Portugal. You're basically Portuguese. You're basically related to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Cristiano Ronaldo. Oh, how did we get there?
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. I'm strictly Shanghan.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: That's where my roots end.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: As long as the roots are cooked like in Gaga,

  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So where did you go in 2018?
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: 2018, I moved from Jo'burg to Cape Town, Anele, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: I became a Hawaiian snob, hey?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That'll do it to you. Actually, you know, Tabang, I'm
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: glad you called because we were trying to figure out
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: when people leave South Africa to go back to their countries,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: what is the personality that changes? And there it is, wine.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: They no longer put up with terrible wine because South
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Africa's got the best wine in the world.
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: Yo, Annelie, I'm telling you, we would go out with
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: our friends. And I'd be like, no, this wine doesn't
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: pair well with this meal.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: It doesn't?
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you, I know my wine knowledge is,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it's not great academically. On my mouth, I taste them like, okay,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: this is nice. And I like wine, but I'm not
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: one of those people who know that I'm drinking a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Shannon now or a Chardonnay. People who know that stuff,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: they just know. Are you one of those people who
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: just know?
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: No, Anel, it was just the vibes for me, hey?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It was just the vibes, eh? It was just the vibes.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: He's talking about wine and eggs and wine and tears.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: He left here drinking Fourth Street. He came back and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: he's like, do you have R & R?
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: No, I want him alone, babe.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I want him alone because I'm just craving for something
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a lot more full-bodied.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I need for it to have legs.
