What's up, everybody?
We are in the middle of the wilderness and this is the Super MegaCast.
I'm Ryan McGee.
I'm Matt Watson. And this is the 30thth episode so we're doing a little something special.
Like Ryan said, we are out in the Southern California wilderness on a backpacking trip with our special guest, Tucker Prescott.
Say hi, Tucker.
Hi, that's me.
That's Tucker.
Some of you might know him from being the camera boy.
And he was also on an episode of the Sindago podcast which you can go check out which is a good one we talk more about your painting
which yeah i'm sure we'll bleed into this because you know we're stupid and run out of things to
talk about quickly so we'll just hand it off to you to fill up some white space absolutely i like
that all right but yeah, we've yesterday, we
started hiking out onto this
trail that, it's like a desert-y
kind of wilderness.
It's not like a forest. We weren't prepared
as much as we should have been, because our plan
was to hike, what, nine
and a half miles. Right. Each day.
Yeah, but we hiked up
four and a half miles. Yeah.
But we made it to a campsite.
Got there a little late. It got dark.
It got dark.
That's why we had to stop early.
Hiking at nighttime isn't fun.
Tucker says, you won't see the trail.
Boo-hoo.
Oh, there are predators about.
Just baby-eating hot dogs.
But yeah, we hiked.
Very beautiful.
Just saw a couple other people.
Just came down this big.
A lot of rocks, a lot of sand, a lot of shrubs.
Prove it.
I, I don't, I don't know how I can prove it to the listeners.
Here, I can, I can, watch.
Hit two rocks together.
That's good.
That's me hitting two rocks together.
That's definitely proof.
Go into a detail of how unprepared we were for this trip.
Yeah. How much did we plan uh very little
for sure like up until yesterday really uh up until like two hours before we left our plan was
like yeah we'll go on a trip this weekend we'll maybe go uh somewhere near los angeles and then
uh really just decided on the trail yesterday and didn't even pack everything until like the morning we were leaving.
And didn't bring everything we needed.
What was that one necessity that we forgot and we didn't realize until we were here?
Oh, yeah, toilet paper.
Yeah, but I haven't had to poop.
I haven't either.
You're right.
You just turn off that part of the brain that says you need to poop.
You just don't have to.
That's just part of being a wild animal.
No toilet paper.
We're wild men out here. We also forgot
to buy a replacement butane.
Right. I think that was the biggest
problem we got. That's a beautiful bird.
Yeah, but it's the blue one I was talking about.
That's gorgeous. It's real pretty.
What kind of bird is that? I don't know, man.
Maybe just a blue bird? It's blue on top
and silver on the bottom with white right under the mouth.
It's got black eyes.
Nice pointy beak.
A white stripe down its tail.
It's definitely a bird.
Agreed.
It has chicken-like feet.
Our biggest problem was definitely that we did not bring enough gas
because we just had the last little dregs of a very old gas canister for our stove.
It heated up the chicken meal.
Yeah, we got our rice and chicken with lime.
Yeah.
That was great.
It was really good.
It was pretty tasty, yeah.
Then we tried to make...
We wanted to make our mac and cheese, but it did not last that long.
It was a bit crunchy.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was very al dente.
We had warm water that we put in our mac and cheese, not boiling water.
Well, there's a little story to that, you know, because it needed to be more warm.
So Tucker put the warm water in the bag and sealed it up and said,
Ryan, put this in your shirt against your belly inside your shirt to keep it warm.
So I did.
And it was freezing cold outside.
So Ryan's like, gosh, it's so nice.
You know, the only thing that would ruin this trip is if this exploded in my shirt.
So then I walked away from the camp to go see if anyone else,
because there's a couple other camps nearby,
I was going to go see if they were doing campfires.
And I came back, and Ryan's just sitting there.
And I was like, where's the mac and cheese?
And he looks at me, and he was like, it happened.
Exploded all over my shirt.
So we had to tie it up so I wasn't barefoot, Tucker.
Tucker almost made me barefoot, dude.
And it wasn't even like the zipper that came undone.
It just exploded.
Like the actual zipper part broke.
Yeah, somehow the pressure in the mac and cheese just exploded on Ryan. Stuff is known to be very pressurized. Yeah, the pressure. Somehow the pressure in the mac and cheese just exploded on Ryan.
Stuff is known to be very pressurized.
Yeah, who knows?
I probably hugged it a little too tight.
I was probably getting too excited for the macaroni and cheese.
You know me.
Yeah, and then it was very, the noodles were very raw, not very soft.
Oh, yeah.
It was a good crunch to them.
It's like eating croutons with some noodles and cheese.
It's a good crunch to them.
It's like eating croutons with some noodles and cheese.
Yeah, it was like a soup, a cheese soup with just raw noodles in it.
It did taste like mac and cheese.
Yes, the cheese was good.
Until the end, you said you couldn't doubt it because it just became cheese soup.
There's a certain point with any kind of mac and cheese.
It doesn't matter if it's good or bad.
There's a certain point where it's just too much.
Yeah.
I agree, where it's just like a liquid.
Yeah.
And it's like, it's awful.
I can't eat the rest of this.
Yeah.
So, um... I'm trying...
We were trying to go up to this hot spring area,
which, uh...
Will it hot springs?
Yeah.
Will it hot springs?
Yeah, the trail we're on is called
Piedra Blanca Trail
in Ojai California
sound like a
kid in Spanish class
that I knew
yeah
Ojai
oh there's always
those kids in California
California
always those kids
in Spanish class
I knew one kid
and then like
all the way until
like second year
third year Spanish
he was still said
Y instead of E
he'd be like Blanco said Y instead of E.
He'd be like, Blanco, Y, Negro, instead of Blanco, E, Negro.
That's racist, but okay.
Tucker's making sure the camera's still working all right.
He's checking sound.
He's checking sound, making sure it's all good.
Sound looks okay.
You guys were a little quiet at that point, but who knows?
We get a little quiet.
We get a little quiet.
We get a little timid. We get a little shy. A little shy. Camera knows? We get a little quiet. We get a little quiet. We get a little timid.
We get a little shy.
A little shy.
Camera shy.
You guys are pretty camera shy.
Yeah.
That's what I've noticed from hanging out with you guys.
You guys just really care about when cameras are pointed at you.
Yeah, like, you know, Matt doesn't pull his balls up from under himself in between his ass crack.
Unless the camera's pointed at you, as you learned yesterday.
Oh, God.
And as the audience will never learn.
Yeah, I'd say I am pretty camera shy.
What was weird to me about that was I was shooting Ryan that whole time.
We were busy doing our own thing.
I'm surprised you didn't notice me in the background.
Yeah, I didn't notice at all.
And then I turn around, and there you are.
And I'm looking through the viewfinder.
But it's like in a movie.
You can tell right before it happens if you pay attention close.
It's like when you're filming me, you see Matt over on the side very briefly.
Like right as the camera's panning away.
Yeah, pulling down his pants.
Just me pulling my pants down.
I'm sure that'll make it in something.
I hope so.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Censored, of course. It's got my make it in something. I hope so. Maybe. I don't know. Censored, of course.
It's got my testicles in it.
But this isn't coming out for pretty much a week.
It's not coming out until Thursday.
We're recording this Sunday.
Sunday, December 4th.
Beautiful, warm, sunny Sunday.
It is very warm.
Is today the 4th?
Yep.
Okay.
December 4th.
So God knows if the channels have gone awry,
Oh God. No signal out here to figure that out. Isn't that exciting? I could have uploaded,
uh, something very inappropriate. I hope not though. Yeah. Yeah. But I've never seen it go
from me being so absolutely unbearably cold to me being like sweating in the matter of like an hour.
Yeah. Because this morning when I woke up, I was freezing cold.
And all last night I was freezing cold.
My toes and fingers were numb and everything.
And now I'm in a T-shirt because it's so hot.
How long were you guys outside of the tent before I awoke?
I got up around 8, 15.
30, 40 minutes?
Yeah.
Thanks for leaving me in my cocoon
I woke up like I'd say about 7 times
Through the night
And I had to get up to pee twice
I noticed that
I woke up and I saw you getting out of the tent
I said a line from holes
Yeah you went
Sunflower seeds
Did you intentionally walk by my tent
Because like
Your tent's right next to ours.
What do you mean?
But you were above my tent, like at the head of it.
And you walked by the head really close.
The first time, yeah, because it was dark and it was cold.
And I was going, oh, a tent.
It just seemed like you were going to try to freak me out.
No, who knows what's going by Tucker's tent?
No, I'm pretty sure you could see me well.
You could see the shadow of a big, large man.
Yeah, if I saw you, I would have seen a bear standing up.
Which you've seen actually a few bears.
I have seen a few bears.
You've scared them off.
Yeah.
That's those bear stories, Tucker.
How does that work?
How do you scare a bear off?
Yeah, well, bears aren't supposed to, if you're trying to maintain an area.
Now we're talking about black bears and brown bears.
Right.
Grizzly bears, no. Brown bears also
no. We'll get the grizzly bears after this.
Black bears can be all different kinds of colors.
They can be black, brown,
cinnamon, blonde.
They can be a combination of those colors.
But they're always
much smaller than
the larger bears, grizzly bears
and brown bears
as well.

So, if you're trying to maintain an area for humans, like a campground,
you don't want those bears to be familiar and comfortable in that area.
So if bears ever come into that part of wherever you are,
you need to scare them away and help them understand that this isn't their space.
So, yeah, if a bear comes into camp, and I spent three summers working at a backpacking camp, guiding trips, and bringing kids around.
So I would do this fairly often.
If a bear comes into camp, you run it out of camp.
You throw rocks at it.
You don't hit it, Tucker, do you?
I never hit the bear with the rocks, no, but I threw rocks near it.
Pulls out his whip.
Can you pull out a 12-gauge and send a few warning shots its way?
Oh, that'd be fun.
No, it spreads like crazy.
You'll hit the bear.
Oh, my God.
Okay, so why can't you just run and scream at a, run and scream at a grizzly bear, Tucker?
Why can't you just, you see a big old grizzly bear, you go, hey!
You can't go, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo!
Have you seen The Revenant?
Yeah.
I think that's a pretty good one.
Is that a good, is that a good representation of how grizzly bears are?
Yeah, I would assume so.
To be honest, I don't know as much about grizzly bears as I do black bears,
but from the stories I'm told, the grizzly bear and the moose are hefty creatures.
You saw a moose, right?
That should not be fucked with, yeah.
How was that? You said it was kind of scary.
Yeah, because they're really scary.
You see meese from far away, but when you see it close up and you don't expect to see it,
it's much, much more exciting, I should say.
Yeah, so I was like...
Taking pictures?
Yeah.
No, I didn't take any pictures because I was freaked out by it.
I was in the Tetons hiking alone, and I was in this brush area,
and this is up in the canyons in the middle of that ridge,
and I'm walking through these
this brush area and then i hear grunts like it's like short and deep grunts and i think maybe it's
a bear so i pull out my bear spray and i'm like i'm ready to go ready there you go and then i walk
into like a bit of a clearing and this big antlered moose, like, walks up, like, 20 feet away from me.
I'm just like...
Did he see you?
Yeah.
He stopped and he looked at me.
And, like, the one thing I've been told about moose encounters is that you don't look at the moose.
And so, like, that's what I did.
I was like, okay, I'm going to go now.
I didn't see anything.
Your secret's safe with me For being a moose
You treat it like you just saw a drug deal
And they look over at you
Nope, didn't see anything
I wasn't here
I just kept walking quickly down the trail
And just decided
That's not where I'm supposed to be
And nothing happened, unfortunately
Nothing happened, unfortunately. Nothing happened, unfortunately?
Unfortunately, yeah, nothing
happened. Man, man, do I wish I was gored
by that moose. I would have loved it if, like,
you started walking ahead, then all of a sudden
you came across a grizzly bear.
Then they started ping-ponging you
back and forth.
They're working together now!
Oh, God.
I did see a red fox earlier that,
or later that night, though. It was, like, right next to my tent.
Just trotted by. That was cool. Those are the most beautiful
animals. They're gorgeous. I saw one of those.
I saw a fox when I was up in North Carolina
once. I like snow foxes.
The white fox. Have you ever seen one?
Not in real life, but, like, I've seen pictures.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've seen pictures, man.
I've seen some fucking pictures. Yeah, dude.
Also, you know
what else is a cute
animal?
What?
A little baby
furry arctic seal.
Those are cute.
Arctic seals are
really cute.
Really fucking
adorable.
Especially when
they're not being
clubbed.
Yeah, especially
when a big man
isn't, you know.
Wait, why do they
club baby seals?
For their meat,
right?
Yeah, meat.
And for their fur, too.
I didn't know you could eat seals.
What do you mean?
It's meat.
You can eat anything.
Yeah, I know you can eat anything.
I just didn't know that they were eaten.
You can't eat anything, Matt.
Come on.
I didn't know that those were animals that people ate.
What else would they eat there, huh?
Polar bear?
Yeah.
Probably.
Yeah, true.
That'd be nice because then they wouldn't have to worry about polar bears either.
And it's fully adult seals.
Ooh, why don't they eat those?
I like some seal kebabs.
Something good.
Maybe it's a little tough when they're fully adult.
So like the baby seal me is nice and tender.
I don't see the problem.
Okay, polar bears hunt seals.
Shamu hunts seals.
Why can't humans hunt them?
We're just another predator.
I guess it's just the image of...
Well, humans, I guess, are the only creatures that have
morals, and then seeing another human
clubbing a baby seal to death...
Well, I'm fucking around. We don't do it
for survival. The other animals actually do it
to survive. We do it for fun.
Actually, Ryan!
Hey, man, you wanna go club some seals tonight?
Have you seen the faces on the guys clubbing the seals?
They always have a big ol' smile on their face.
Yeah!
Woo!
Oh my god.
Jim, this one's still moving.
Look at him.
Let him move around a little more.
Then hit him hard.
I'm gonna bring out my, uh, my clubs, my golf clubs.
Do you think they have different kinds of clubs?
Like, I think this is the niner.
Like, the big club.
They have studded gloves.
Right.
Gloves.
Clubs.
Studded gloves as well.
Yeah, after they hit them with the club, they go in for the hand-to-hand combat.
They go in and strangle them.
They get brass knuckles and just beat the shit out of the baby seals.
Like, ah, god.
That hand motion was more akin to masturbation that you showed.
What I just did. Yeah. It's like, to masturbation that you showed. What I just did?
Yeah.
It's like...
They masturbate the baby seals?
With some sandpaper so they don't enjoy it too much.
Jesus Christ.
Ouch.
We're giving them ideas.
We can't give them these ideas.
There's going to be some guy up in the Arctic listening to this podcast.
He's going to be like...
Then there's going to be a newscast.
From the helicopter, we spot a man giving a seal a, looks like a handjob.
Oh, what does he have?
Oh, that's sandpaper.
Oh, my God.
Sandpaper handjob.
Says it on the bottom of the screen, like, breaking news.
Man gives baby seal handpaper sandjob.
Sandpaper.
Sandpaper handjob.
I feel like you can shorten that to sandjob.
Yeah, what else?
Sandjob.
That's a thing now.
Give me a sand job, boys.
No, it's more like...
It'd be like...
And just a little bit...
Oh, my God.
So we've talked about all these fun little creatures.
Have you ever had, like, other than the moose,
was there ever an experience with an animal where you're like,
fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck?
Or have your encounters with wildlife actually just kind of been
nice and calming and serene and one with nature?
Besides the moose.
Well, I've been false charged by a bear before.
How do you not flinch?
That'd scare the shit out of me.
I'd shit my pants on the spot no doubt
I was with two other people
I don't think it's as bad as it
sounds like
because they don't always charge you up to
a few feet away like it can just be a very short
charge so
it's not necessarily like
coming at you and you have time to
think it's like in basketball when they do a quick
step one way.
Yeah.
And they also make
these sounds
that are like
like very
very
hefty
heavy
breathing
like haggard
breathing.
That's like a warning sound.
It's like a father
that just got done
banging a mom.
Exactly.
Coming out from a cave.
Hear a toilet flush.
You expect to hear a fucking toilet flush
and a scratching of a stomach.
Yeah, no, but
also, I've seen videos of
gorillas false charged. They run really
fast and then like... That's more terrifying.
That looks way scarier.
Because they scream.
Yeah, exactly. But if you move,
they'll usually attack you, won't they?
So it's like...
So it's like the ultimate two for flinching.
If you flinch, they'll beat the shit out of you and kill you.
If there's one animal that I don't want to fight, it's a gorilla, 100%.
What's the one animal that you would not want to come across and have to fight?
Oh, definitely a gorilla.
Mine's a gorilla.
Because they're huge. He could grab me and just break me in half and you climb up a tree
he'd snap me over his knee just i think i'd rather take on a gorilla than a polar bear
really oh yeah oh because polar bears i feel like they're twice as big as a gorilla yeah and also
you're in the snow yeah you're not gonna be running too fast in the snow not that it matters it's a
bear actually i'd I would take those over
An alligator, like a massive alligator
Crocodile
How fast can they move?
You just poke out their eyes
No, but if they
Ouch!
Hit their weak points
It's like in a boss battle, they got those weak points
Fighting an animal is just like a boss battle
Find its weak points and hit it three times and boom, it's done.
Unless your neck is in its mouth.
Well, alligators will grab you with their jaw and then they twist you around and they drag you to the bottom and they flip you and twist you and shit.
Well, the point of that is to break your neck, isn't it?
Yeah.
They take you by...
They drown you in the process, which is really scary.
Either drown you or break your neck.
Sorry, we had to pause it real quick, but we're back.
Another thing that I wanted to talk with you about, Tucker,
is that you've been traveling since, what, August?
Yeah, the end of August, yeah.
2015.
That's crazy.
Nope.
Damn it.
I was hoping it was longer.
2013.
August 2016, yeah, it's been about two and a half months.
Tell us a little bit about what that has been like.
Tell us about that whole process.
Yeah, so I've done a lot of different trips over the past few years
as I've started to learn more and more about how to travel
and how to do this kind of stuff solo.
So I've done a lot of international traveling,
done a lot of hitchhiking internationally,
done a lot of international traveling, done a lot of hitchhiking internationally, done a lot of backpacking internationally, and I just haven't spent as much time, I think,
traveling around the U.S. solo or seeing a lot of what's inside the country, which is important, I think.
So that's really one part of this trip is seeing a lot of things within the United States
that are kind of interesting and exciting,
and also seeing people around the country like you guys, who I haven't seen in a little bit.
Ah, shucks.
Yeah.
And also, I'm interested in moving out west at some point next year.
So that's part of what this has been, is looking at different areas of the country
and trying to figure out where I'd like to live.
looking at different areas of the country and trying to figure out where I'd like to live.
And then lastly, and I would say most importantly, it's been like a painting road trip. So the big thing I've been doing is most days when I'm traveling, I'll drive around until I find a...
Nice.
Yeah, until I find some location that I like and think is beautiful.
And we'll plot a little bit of time there, sit down, and make a painting from life,
which has been a lot of fun.
I've learned a lot about it.
I've learned a lot about painting, learned about texture,
and have a lot of experimental experiences in terms of the way I've been painting.
And your paintings are amazing.
How many have you done since you've been on the road?
I think I've done about 30.
Wow. Oh, my God.
Yeah, you were working on, he was in the Game Grumps office recently,
and he was working on his paintings,
and everyone was commenting on them because they're so crazy.
You use oils, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, oil paint.
So it's been a lot of fun, and I've really enjoyed the chance to do this because
While I was back in Columbia, South Carolina
Working and making money
And I'm not really right now I
Was doing a whole lot of video work, and so it's been really exciting for me to be able to
spend time doing what I'm really fond of and learn about it.
Which for those who don't know really how talented this boy is, you can visit his website, TuckerPrescott.com.
Put the link in the description for you guys to...
TuckerPrescott.com.
My favorite stuff from you, I don't know, because you like painting more than any of the other stuff, right?
Right.
I like your cinematography and photography a lot.
Cool. I really like your cinematography.
It's incredible. Especially when you do the montages of your
trips, or at least you used to. I don't know.
Right. Yeah, I haven't done a lot
lately. Can you make one
and put us in it?
Just us. Just our faces.
Just for one shot. Ryan and Matt.
And then it's just us for the whole video.
I really want that.
I want it to be a montage of all the things I've shot with you guys with like that cat song.
You know that video with the cat playing the piano?
The keyboard cat song?
The classic meme?
Yeah.
Yeah, I want that song to play in the background.
Have Neon Cat going in the background and using After Effects.
Neon Cat was Asian in origin, wasn't it?
I would expect so.
I have no idea.
It seems like a little Pop-Tart cat.
Rainbows and glitter, yeah.
If it's not, then I'm sure people in the comments will be like,
It's actually...
It's from Catalan, Ryan.
So you'll learn either way.
If it actually is, then.
I thought you just said Cat-land.
Wait, is Catalan a country?
What? I don't know. You mean a country? What? You mean Catalonia?
Maybe, yeah, Catalonia.
It's part of Spain.
Oh, well maybe it's from there.
Maybe.
Spain, yeah.
Yeah.
Tucker, so what was like the first, when you left Colombia, what's like the... whoa.
Tucker, that's littering.
Someone needed that for their toothbrush. Oh, that's what that is. Yeah, that's the whole the toothbrush
Why did you do you were playing with no idea? Why did I what why did you hide that from fucking hide it?
You picked it up and they needed to know that information only just now you told me
Answer me this before you answer Matt's question. This is this is a little more important
How can we haven't seen any use condoms on the trail?
Do people not fuck in the wilderness that's a good question because usually I mean wherever
I am if it's if it's not in a city there used condoms everywhere you know like I
mean so many that like it seems like some people don't even you know finish
it up so you can like pick them back up and use them yeah you look you look
somehow come into our apartment and it's like a cookie trail to like our toilet
so so we just sploog into them and then sling them around and throw them at You come into our apartment and it's like a cookie trail to our toilet.
So we just splooge into them and then sling them around and throw them at people from our window.
Yeah.
Like a bolo.
Yeah.
Tie two used ones together and then hit a dude in the ankles, trip him on the street.
That's how David did it.
David and Goliath.
Dude, yeah, exactly.
He was using the condom the whole time.
That's what that is.
Like, when you look at the pictures
and you see the leather sling.
Yeah.
It's an old condom.
They used to use leather
for condoms.
Really?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I wouldn't imagine so.
How would you,
I don't know.
Anyways,
you were going to ask him something.
Wait, first on that real quick.
I was in a museum once.
I think I was in the,
like, Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.
And they had, like, an old condom. It wasn't a museum once. I think I was in the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. And they had like an old condom.
It wasn't a condom, but it was like
used for couples practicing sex.
And it was just like a massive hollowed out
tusk. It was thick.
It wasn't even like a condom.
It was rigid. It was like a horn.
Like of an animal that was hollowed out or something.
Made no sense.
Sorry, my butt fell asleep.
Like a penis expander.
Yeah, it'd just be like putting a cup over your penis and having sex with somebody.
Well, if it works, it works, I guess.
Anyway, Tucker, when you left, what has your path been?
Where did you go from Columbia, and how did you end up here in L.A.?
Yeah, so it's been really a western trip the whole time
because i did start in south carolina but i met up with my brother in salt lake city my brother
and my parents so that we could do some backpacking so do you go straight from south carolina to salt
lake yeah so i took about a week to get there um and since i've been doing this for uh two and a
half probably almost three months at this point um that was pretty quick yeah it's really fast uh so yeah shot over and then from there once uh once i did some backpacking with
my family i headed up north um so i went into idaho wyoming uh and there's a ton of beautiful
beautiful beautiful scenery up there so i was able to go to a few different national parks didn't go up all the way to Glacier that'll be for another time I think but did get to go up
into Montana after seeing Yellowstone and the Tetons and then headed west through Idaho and
did some more backpacking with my brother in the Sawtooth wilderness. And then from there, went a few different places in Idaho,
saw a friend in Boise,
went up into Oregon,
and then into Washington,
went around in a few different natural parks there,
spent some time in Seattle,
and then down through Oregon,
spent time with more friends in Oregon,
and down into California.
Went and saw all the cool stuff here. Sawater Lake saw the red woods saw the Sequoias. The redwoods is something that I want to see so bad. I'd like to see that.
I've never been this is probably the most north I've ever been in California
right now. It's not very far north. I know it's really not. We're still I've never
been above this point actually I've never been to San Francisco or the Bay Area.
Oh, yeah.
San Francisco's cool.
I enjoyed my time there.
Yeah.
You guys should definitely see the redwoods, though.
I personally really enjoyed the coastal redwoods way more than the sequoias because...
What's the difference?
Well, the sequoias are the biggest trees in the world.
Like, the biggest tree in the world is there, the largest tree, because it has the most mass.
It's not the tallest tree, but it is the largest.
And they have the widest tree.
But it's in an environment that's much drier than Northern California.
So it's sort of like a big pine forest with a bunch of sequoias in it.
like a big pine forest with a bunch of sequoias in it and for me pine forests have never been as interesting or calming or beautiful as other kinds of forests and the coastal redwoods are in
a much wetter area there's a lot more ferns it's I mean like they shot Endor there you know I mean
it's that kind of environment right yes it's very wooded and very ferny and beautiful and calm.
And I like that a lot.
So I really enjoyed seeing that area.
Yeah, I really want to.
I've never been to San Francisco.
I really want to go just like for a weekend to San Francisco.
To get all the places.
Yeah.
Go see the redwoods.
Yeah.
And then cross the bridge.
How far are the redwoods and stuff from San Francisco?
Pretty far.
You have to go a few hours up.
We should take like a West Coast trip.
We just go up and then up through Portland and Seattle.
In the movies, it tells me that the redwoods are right across the bridge.
The second you get off the Golden Gate Bridge, it's nothing but redwoods.
There's not even a road anymore.
You have to get out and walk from there.
That'd be cool, though.
Gross.
Tucker tried to kiss me.
Didn't work, did it, Tucker?
What's the rest of the plan for today?
We're going to...
Probably going to hike a little bit and then hike back
because I doubt Matt, you and I are up...
Oh, there's that beautiful bluebird again.
Anyways, I doubt you and I are up for a 14-mile hike today.
No, because we already got a hike almost five miles back.
I'm a fat, unhealthy kid, so.
I am also unhealthy.
That's a beautiful bird.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
We should try and take a picture of one of those birds before we leave.
Yeah, I saw one right when we got out of the car.
I guess it's just a bluebird.
It's something.
It's probably not a bluebird. We'll have to look bluebird. It's something. It's probably not a bluebird.
We'll have to look it up.
It's pretty.
It's a pretty one.
If one thing's for sure, I can definitely say that you two are fat, unhealthy kids.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Do I also fall in the fat category?
I mean, look at all this fat, man.
That is some fat. That's a lot of fat.
You see that? It's like fat bastard
at the end of Goldmember.
Did you ever see that? It's been so long since I've seen
Goldmember. I don't remember anything about it. He's the sumo wrestler.
He basically lost a bunch of weight
and all this fat is just drooping down in skin.
People get surgery for that. He's like it looks like
a vagina. And he's talking about
his neck. Is that the joke? Yeah.
I gotta watch those movies.
What would you expect?
Austin Powers is great.
It's classic, dude.
Some good old times.
That's good.
Let's have a Tarzan and Austin Powers gold member double feature.
Okay.
Wow.
When we get back tonight, Tucker.
No, no, no.
George of the Jungle and Austin Powers.
George of the Jungle.
The Brendan Fraser one?
The second one.
The second one?
Was Brendan Fraser not in the second one?
No, there's a whole joke in the second one where it's like, the studio didn't have enough money to get Brendan Fraser one? The second one. The second one? Was Brendan Fraser not in the second one? No, there's a whole joke in the second one where it's like,
the studio didn't have enough money to get Brendan Fraser.
But little did Brendan Fraser know that he would be scraping for a job years to come.
Because he ruined his entire career with Fuzzy Vengeance, which I saw in theaters.
What is that?
I, you know, I can...
I've never heard of Fuzzy Vengeance.
I guess that's why...
It's where Brendan Fraser is fighting a bunch of talking animals for some, like, real estate.
I don't remember.
But here's the thing, guys.
I'm the only one here who can say that I did not contribute to Brendan Fraser's downfall
because I paid money to see Furry Vengeance in theaters.
What did you guys do to help Brendan Fraser, huh?
I went to go see his good movies.
I did nothing.
Brendan Fraser, you know... You saw The Mummy. I did see The Mummy movies I did nothing Brendan Fraser You saw The Mummy
I did see The Mummy
I've never seen The Mummy
Not in theaters
I've never seen it
Not the old black and white movie
On Netflix
No no I know the Brendan Fraser one
Wait you've never seen The Mummy?
No
The Brendan Fraser Mummy?
It's a classic
It has beetles going under the skin
I like that movie a lot
It feels very classic
I saw one scene
On television once
When my sister was watching it
And they're on a boat
and then it explodes
and he flies off the boat.
Does that happen?
Yeah.
Is that the right movie?
Okay, yeah.
It's a fun movie.
It's just a fun ride
the whole time.
What's the one
with the dragon dude?
It's like they find
Japanese pyramids
or some shit.
What?
And there's like,
okay, maybe they're not
Japanese pyramids,
but they go and
they find this
Mongolian army or something and they're made out of, but they go and, like, they find this, like, Mongolian army or something.
And they're made out of stone.
It's in the last movie that wasn't, it wasn't good.
Did it have Brendan Fraser in it?
Yeah, it did, unfortunately.
It also had, they also put in abominable snowmen in the movie, like, that would jump long distances.
Yeah.
It was a weird fucking movie.
I want to see this movie.
They really went all out with it.
I'm not lying.
That sounds like fun.
Yeah, they had yetis. Sounds like a full ride. I want to see this movie. They really went all out with it. I'm not lying. That sounds like fun. Yeah, they had yetis.
Sounds like a full ride.
They had stone Mongolian armies.
They had an emperor.
They were made out of stone?
Yes.
So they were like gods.
You know those stone men?
Like the Buddha Zen statues?
You mean like, he means like the clay armies.
Yeah.
That the Chinese emperors had.
Like that.
Actually, they were buried.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
Clay armies?
They come to life.
Yeah.
What the hell are clay armies?
Wait, you've never heard
of the clay armies?
No.
Like the hundreds of like
fucking clay soldiers.
Yeah.
Really?
I didn't know that.
That's awesome.
How do you know?
Are you serious?
I've probably seen it before.
Matt, as much as you love
like Asian culture in general.
I don't know.
I've never heard of that.
I just, that's,
that really throws me for a loop.
No, I feel like I've seen pictures of that before.
I just didn't know that was a thing.
They even put it in a Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior.
Well, I'm sorry.
I didn't see a Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior.
She was a beautiful woman, though.
And then she, I don't know what she's doing now.
Yeah, she kind of disappeared.
Is this like Tila Tequila?
No.
It's the same person?
Yeah, it's Tila Tequila playing Wendy Wu.
Oh, where'd the ant go?
Oh, there he is.
Tucker's playing with an ant.
Is he going to bite you, Tucker?
It's on his watch.
It's a sugar ant, dude.
Oh, damn it.
Sugar ray?
So you're just going to let it crawl inside your clothing?
Sweet sugar ray.
Wow.
Can you still feel it crawling around?
It's super hot right now.
I am incredibly hot.
Okay.
What time is it, 10.30? 10.30. It's 10.20, actually I am incredibly hot. Okay. What time is it? 1030?
1030. It's 1020 actually. Okay. Well, an hour ago we were freezing. I know it's bizarre. I'm
gonna have to put the back up and I'm gonna have to hike up with this shirt. Yes. Buckles are gonna
make me look like the Michelin man. I'm not gonna be able to wear my beanie and my hair. Is that
what you were talking about? I thought you were talking about the down jacket. Yeah. No, I thought
you were talking about that too. I was talking about the down jacket, but also because my fat was protruding from the buckles.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Mr. Michelin.
Like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters.
Oh, Ghostbusters.
Da-na-na-na-na-na.
I need to watch that again.
Na-na-na-na-na-na.
Did you guys watch the new Ghostbusters?
We saw it in theaters.
Did you like it?
I haven't seen it.
No, I didn't like it.
He hated it.
He hated it.
It's one of those movies where I walk out and I'm like,
well, I'm never seeing that again, and I hope to forget it.
Because it was just, I don't know.
It's because of the women.
Yeah, exactly.
It's because of the women.
It wasn't because it was unfunny and unnecessary.
It was really, really funny.
I do have to say, the writing, though, the writing was amazing.
It's not even like, great story.
How could they just do this? Come on. Wait, so the story was good, but... No,, the writing was amazing. It's not even like... Great story. How could they just do this? Come on!
Wait, so the story was good, but...
No, I was being sarcastic. It's awful.
Oh, man.
It's really bad.
I was just hoping upon a star.
I don't know. I just didn't...
It felt more...
While the other one was kind of still goofy and dry and vulgar in that sense,
this one was more Melissa McCarthy goofy comedy bridesmaids type of stuff.
What?
Bridesmaids?
Because it's the director
from Bridesmaids.
Oh.
So it's
his name is
Paul Fague
something like that.
Paul Rudd.
But um
Ghostbusters
directed by Paul Rudd.
I don't know.
I didn't enjoy it.
I
I don't enjoy most
uh like remakes or stuff like that.
I just don't think they ever do them well.
And I feel like the movie that was made first off had a vision,
and it was made for that particular reason.
This version is made for money.
Strictly money.
No love or anything.
Why did we go watch The Jungle Book?
Why did we see that?
I did not like that.
Same.
I didn't see it.
Good. I was in The Jungle Book as a kid.
I was Mowgli in a play.
Yeah, you were. They actually
gave him a spray tan and it was very racist.
They gave me a spray tan.
Do you have pictures of this?
I have a whole thing on video somewhere.
I have a DVD of it.
I want to be like you.
I have to see that.
You bouncing around. Did you bounce around and shit to the groove? I was in a play. I have to see that. Like, you bouncing around. Did you bounce around and shit?
Like, to the groove?
Well, I was in a play.
I'm sure I danced.
I can't wait to see this.
And then Baloo was my buddy, Javeron.
He's a large black man, wasn't he?
Yeah, my friend Javeron played him.
And it was, you know, when I go back for Christmas,
I'll see if I can take the DVD and, like, capture it or something or rip it so I can bring that footage back and we can look at it.
Good.
It's good stuff.
Is it?
It's real good stuff, yeah.
Five out of five, the Nostalgia Critic gave it two thumbs up.
Hello!
No, you know, all of a sudden you just hear, like, over here.
Hold on one second. Hello! No, you know, all of a sudden you just hear like over here, hello, and stuff.
Hello, I'm the most dad recorded.
Hello?
Hey, Doug.
How you doing?
Hey, Doug, come on, sit down over here.
Yeah, I'm coming.
Whoa!
I just stubbed my toe.
His hat falls off, his goofy little hat.
He's a goofy little hat, I'm sorry.
It's a goofy little hat.
I like Doug.
I like Doug too, but he's got a goofy little hat.
Is it a fedora?
No, it's probably worse.
I think those hats are a little worse than fedoras.
Don't judge the man.
Like a golf hat?
No, I don't know how to describe it.
You can't describe this hat, it's so crazy.
Yeah.
It's so good. It's so good.
It's crazy good.
I wish you wore a cowboy hat.
Oh, wow.
I'd have a different amount of respect for him if you wore a cowboy hat.
Sorry, my butt's falling asleep.
I have to stand up.
Yeah, my ass is falling asleep hard, and I am burning up.
Maybe we should wrap it up here.
Oh, my.
I have an idea.
Tucker, that's genius.
What is that for?
Why did we do that the whole time?
Cool.
Alright, are my levels decent from over here?
Decent. Yeah, they're decent.
They're decent? Are you decent right now? No. Yeah, I'm wearing pants and shirt.
That's good. That's pretty decent. We probably smell really bad because we're not supposed to wear deodorant apparently.
I smell pretty good, right?
Yeah, you smell fine. Did I just hit you with my hand?
I don't know. I don't really get BO. I get BO when I'm anxious. Does Ryan get BO?
Yeah, I get BO. Smell that.
My body doesn't really produce a lot of sweat or BO.
You can smell that man musk.
I don't smell anything.
Nope.
Hold on, let me get the shirt out of the way.
Smell this shit, dude.
A little bit.
But it's not, it's not unpleasing.
I'm not saying that like after a day, I'm gonna be a fucking dumpster.
Alright.
These boys, they wanted to wear, boys, they wanted to wear body...
What is it called?
What am I thinking of right now?
What is the word?
Full Santa Claus body suits?
Yes.
We did want to wear that.
Body what?
What did we...
The sweat stopper.
What's the word that I'm thinking of that you just said?
Deodorant?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Is that the word?
Deodorant?
Thank you.
Yes.
Yeah. Let's move on from there. You made us go wash the deodorant off of ourselves. Yeah, these boys wanted to wear deodorant? Thank you. Thank you. Is that the word, deodorant? Thank you. Yes. Yeah.
Let's move on from there.
You made us go wash the deodorant off of ourselves.
Yeah, these boys wanted to wear deodorant into the woods.
Deodorant has been called bear icing.
Oh, really?
Is it really?
Yeah.
Why do they like that so much?
Doesn't it smell like food?
Well, anything that smells interesting could be food.
Because they're attracted to it.
So they investigate whatever they scent up.
What if our poops smell interesting?
Will they dig up our poops and eat it?
Well, I hope you don't leave your poop in your tent with you.
Well, maybe I will.
I slept with him last night.
Believe me, he did.
We both farted in each other's faces.
Oh, my God.
I'm glad you didn't wake me up.
Honestly, I was so cold last night,
I was thinking about just jumping in your tent
and cuddling between you guys.
You should have.
We would have let you.
It's a one-and-a-half-person tent that Ryan and I both somehow fit into.
It's because, like, I told you the math behind this.
You could say I'm a full person, and then you, if you lay sideways, you're, like, half a person.
No, I'm a full person.
I mean, I'm 6'2". Well, not
in height. I'm talking about in width.
In width? Yeah. I think
the tents more or less go on
the width than the height.
It's kind of like the rule of
the three-quarters rule. You know what I'm talking about?
No. You're three-quarters
of a human. Oh, he's being racist right now.
He's pulling out that racist
old United States
three-fifths. Thank you. Three-fifths.
Three-quarters, three-fifths. Well, that's me.
I'm just a little three-fifths of a person
on the wedge.
God, that was actually something in our country.
I can't believe that. Now we're just a bunch
of cucks going, racism's bad.
That's us, dude. Some filthy
cucks. Just a bunch of non-racist
cucks. What the fuck? non-racist cucks.
Ryan, shut up, you stupid libtard.
Anyways, is there anything else you'd want to discuss before kind of closing this down a little bit?
I'm good.
Okay. Well, Tucker, thank you for joining us.
Thank you for being on this outdoors edition of Super MechaCast.
Yeah, you're welcome. You're welcome.
It's been great.
I've enjoyed myself.
I can't say the same
about you guys.
I have enjoyed myself.
We've got a long day
of hiking ahead of us.
Can't wait.
It's going to be
real tiring.
Are you happy about
not having hot oatmeal
this morning?
Oh yeah,
that's a number one.
Yeah.
Dude, number one.
Tucker just wanted us
to pour water
in our mouth and then pour some oatmeal from an oatmeal packet.
It works, man.
Wait, turn around real quick.
Someone's been chopping, huh?
Yeah, they couldn't get one spot.
Anyways, we were just looking at a tree
that has some chop marks in it.
Y'all have a good fucking day
and a week. We'll see you next Thursday
with another podcast.
Alright, thanks guys. Yeah, I another podcast. Thank you for joining us.
Alright, thanks guys.
They will.
Yeah, I'll be gone.
Yeah, he'll be gone.
What?
But thanks for joining us, Tucker.
See you, baby.
Bye, everyone.
Cool.
