- Couple days ago, Jay.
And now we are literally,
there's snow on the ground in Utah.
So, we are officially in Utah,
and it's definitely very different.
Noah is just--
- Super different.
I'm excited to see everything we can see.
- Oh yeah.
Well, we got Yellowstone coming up tomorrow.
Stopping off at SeaQuest here.
My friends over there are gonna be doing
some cool stuff at the aquarium today.
So, I'm looking forward to that.
But for now this is crazy out here.
- [Noah] So when are we moving?
- Moving out here?
- [Noah] Yeah, when we moving?
- Noah's like me.
He loves the West.
I definitely love it out here.
I'm ready to move.
Let's go, Reptarium.
(cheering)
Reptarium 6.0.
- 67 48.0.
- Stopped off to get some gas
somewhere in Utah and we found winter.
So crazy, you know what I mean?
It was 88 degrees couple of days ago, sweating in Phoenix.
Now we're literally got snowfall
and (laughs) it's crazy wild, but it is beautiful.
Mountains in the background over here.
Got about three hours to go 'til we hit Salt Lake city.
Oh, and I found some beavers too.
Yeah, it's crazy what you can find on the road.
Hey, Mr. Beaver.
Noah!
- What's up?
- [Brian] It's snowing.
- I got a Lunchable.
That'll keep me warm.
- [Brian] Is this crazy or what, man?
- It's awesome.
First snow I seen in a long time.
- I know, first snow since last year.
It's crazy.
It's beautiful, though.
- Super.
- Hey guys, what's going on?
- [Man] Yeah, what up, dude?
- You guys know I like jerky, what do you think?
- [Noah] What is that?
- [Man] What the heck, man?
- That's a Stetson.
- [Noah] Did you just skin a lamb?
Is that a wild cougar?
- There's some jerky for you guys.
- [Noah] Ooh, that's heavy, man.
- Did you hear that thump?
- [Noah] Yeah, that was.
Jesus looks like granny's back hair.
(laughter)
(upbeat synth music)
- And we made it to Salt Lake City, Utah here.
We've got SeaQuest right over here.
We're about to go in and go check it out.
The mountains are absolutely breathtaking.
It's so crazy that we are now in winter.
And for the next few days, it's going to be cold guys.
Tomorrow, when we're in Yellowstone,
I think is supposed to be a high of 20 degrees,
but I've never been to Yellowstone.
Always wanted to go.
So it's going to be amazing.
What do you say we just head into SeaQuest,
and see what we got going on?
Again, this is the place that inspired me
a lot with the Reptarium 2.0.
So, I'm looking forward to see what else they have.
Oh, and by the way, they have a sloth
and I'm missing Drogo pretty bad.
So I'm going to be excited to see their sloth.
(upbeat synth music)
And we're here.
(upbeat synth music)
Well, right off the bat, the first thing that has changed,
a lot has changed here since I've been here,
but they certainly didn't have pigs before.
So, they've got pigs.
And I absolutely love pigs.
If I ever had enough space, I would certainly have pigs.
Laurie probably wouldn't be too happy about it,
but they are so cool, super intelligent animals,
make really good pets.
Of course they are big, they are a little dirty,
but they are absolutely awesome.
(upbeat synth music)
Now we get into some of the reptile stuff
that I always like.
This is actually a tortoise
that actually gets rubbed on the plates.
The last time he was here,
he was just running around you just over here.
He's got the gate.
I know you guys that are talking
to me about the gate for Matilda.
Yeah, this is kind of where the idea came from.
That way she could just walk around.
And this guy just cruises around and stuff like that.
Got a bunch of really cool other animals in here.
Bearded dragons over here.
Of course, we've got some snakes
with reticulated python, all that stuff.
So it's kind of a cool little thing.
Savannah monitor over here.
Oh, and let's take a look at this.
This is pretty cool.
Isn't this so cool?
- This is Rose, the three banded Armadillo.
- Three banded Armadillo.
And what's interesting, you guys might be surprised
about this, but believe it or not,
a close relative to the Armadillo is a sloth.
That's right, a lot of people wouldn't think that,
but believe it or not, sloths and armadillos
are in the same family, which is pretty wild.
But that thing is so cute.
And of course we have Apollo, the reticulated python.
I tell you what, sometimes normal reticulated pythons
are some of the most gorgeous animals.
I mean, just that normal wild type can be really beautiful.
Again, Apollo is, you know, I don't know,
probably 10, 12 foot, something like that.
You guys know that it's gonna eventually get
you know, 18 to 20 foot, and be a really giant snake.
But it's really well-behaved,
and, much like all of my reticks
back there at the Reptarium,
she's always on the go and always moving around.
But this guy is absolutely incredible love this snake.
We have another Burmese python named Tiny, actually.
But it's just coming out of shed.
So we get an opportunity to play with the retick instead,
which is always absolutely incredible.
And this snake is beautiful, I tell you.
Absolutely stunning.
It's just cool, I get so excited
that you can play with snakes again.
After a couple of days of not having snakes,
I was starting to go through withdrawal.
The other thing that changed is that
this used to be where their caiman were.
And this, actually, was higher up like this.
Now, you can actually get in there.
There's turtles right here.
Ducks over here.
I think this is another really cool kinda interactive.
You can see, you can feed ducks over here.
Oh my god.
That is awesome.
And again, you guys know that I want to do more
aquatic stuff as we expand.
And so there's a lot of ideas
when I come to places like this.
And it's cool to see it continually evolve.
In fact, if you remember,
I met the otter a couple of days ago.
Here's a couple otters over here we gotta go check out.
We've got the little Bengal cats.
Which are something new here as well.
(bird chirping)
They're so cute.
I know Noah's gonna love this, right?
(bird chirping)
Oh my god.
- The big guy here, he's the lazy one.
Of course, he just enjoys his time sleeping.
He's the one I relate to most, right?
- Oh my god.
- [Noah] Hey little buddy.
Unbelievably beautiful, I mean,
they're such a cool kitty cat.
There's no doubt about that.
Oh my gosh, unbelievably cute.
I think these fish know when they're getting fed, right?
You put your hand by them, and they're like.
There you guys go.
Oh my God, it's beautiful.
Got some silky chickens here.
Come on here, bud.
There you go.
(laughs) They're so cute.
Oh my gosh (laughs).
Holy cow, look at the size of this leopard gecko right here.
This thing is a beast, I mean,
that is a giant leopard gecko.
I love it.
It's gotta be like a 125 to 150 grams.
Most leopard geckos barely hit 90 grams.
So, that is one big leopard gecko and pretty awesome.
- So, you know what you call a snake
that's freshly shed his skin?
- [Brian] What do you call it?
- Snaked.
So we actually have an African quilled porcupine here.
These guys are actually really cool.
A lot of people think that they're really nasty animals,
but the truth is they're really quite amazing.
I love them to death.
And again, they don't actually throw these quills, right?
What happens is they back up into you.
They'll actually poke you with a quill,
but they don't like throw them at you
like a lot of people think.
This thing is absolutely amazing,
I tell you what, I love African porcupines.
And I love to prehensile tail ones as well.
So cool, look at how majestic that animal is.
- [Tour Guide] Come on, bud, come up
and say hi to this guy over here.
Come on up, bud.
- Come up, bud.
- [Tour Guide] There you go, good boy, who's a good boy.
- [Brian] There you go.
- [Tour Guide] You can go ahead and pet him,
he's just the biggest sweetheart we have here.
- [Brian] Such a good boy.
What's his name again?
- This is Quilliam.
- Quilliam, of course.
What's up?
I don't have it yet, but I will get you something.
Here you go, bud.
- [Tour Guide] You love snacks bud, right?
- [Brian] Thank you.
Thank you, Quilliam (laughs).
- This guy here is just like
absolutely the biggest sweetheart.
He's insanely intelligent,
he's only 10 months old, believe or not.
In that time he's already garnered
a huge trust and love of people,
and a great understanding of the training concepts
which allow people to have
this wonderful interaction with him.
Porcupine quills are just modified hairs,
and they shed them just like any other animal with hair do.
You just gotta be careful,
if they lose too many quills they become pointless.
(laughter)
So you guys know that I'm missing Drogo
like you can't believe, so I get the opportunity
to go in with, what'd you say is Flash?
- This is Flash, he's our two-toed sloth.
- [Brian] Oh my goodness gracious, look at him.
Oh yeah, is that some leaf litter from Missouri?
Oh.
- [Tour Guide] Cookie crunch biscuit and,
boy, does he like it.
It's actually really good, it tastes like a gram cracker.
Just a little dryer and not quite as sweet.
Don't ask me how I know that.
- [Brian] Yeah, I think I know how you know that (laughs).
Look how cute he is.
Oh my gosh, he's so cute.
Like I said, this is so cool, man.
But it does make me want to get home even more
to go see my baby.
I miss him so much.
He is so cool.
But Jay, of course, has been sending me photos
and videos and all kinds of stuff.
So, I feel at least a little bit connected,
but just being around another sloth just makes me happy.
These guys are so crazy cool, and I love them.
I tell you what, Jay this is awesome, huh?
- Dude, it's so great.
It does make you miss Drogo though.
I can't wait to see him again.
- I know, I can't wait to get back to my baby.
And, you guys also know,
that I really am inspired about the stingray thing.
I want to do the swimming tanks.
Now I won't have the room that these guys have,
by any stretch, for a stingray tank,
but I would love to add a stingray tank.
And so let's jump in, interact with the stingrays
a little bit, and get a feel for what it's going to be like.
I love them.
So what we basically have here
we have some cow nose as well as bat stingrays in here.
So you can see the differences with these guys
but you can see how absolutely amazing they are.
Hey little guys, what's going on?
All right, let's jump in.
(soothing synth music)
Ah, nice and chilly.
(upbeat synth music)
This is legitimately the coolest experience
you can ever get, I mean, if we do something like this,
I'll never get out of the water.
I mean, look at these things
just swimming up to your naked leg.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
So, it's always interesting, again,
all kinds of animals you can target train
and these guys directly target training the shark.
You can see the little target in there.
The shark is going to go up to it.
And that's when it knows it's gonna get fed.
So it's amazing that you can use that target training
on so many different types of animals,
even something is cool as sharks.
All right, so this is kind of weird.
I've never been in a mall after hours when it's closed.
We're the only ones here.
It's it, we're closed.
This is kind of spooky.
Kinda reminds me of that movie.
Do you guys ever see that movie?
What was the zombie movie?
- "Resident Evil?"
- [Crew Member] It was "Day of the Dead."
Was it "Day of the Dead?"
No, it was no, it was.
- [Crew Member] With the mall.
- [Noah] "Land Before Time."
- Oh my gosh, you guys are terrible.
- [Crew Member] Pretty sure it was "Land of the Dead."
- No, no, it was nope.
- "I Am Legend."
- Nope, it was the, it was.
- [Noah] "Elf."
- It was...(laughs)
- [Crew Member] "Red Dead Redemption."
- We watched it a million times, Noah.
- [Crew Member] "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas."
- Oh, "Zombie Land."
- (laughs) Regardless, we're in a mall
and it's crazy to be here alone.
So, there it is.
All right, that's it.
I think, I don't know what else to say.
And how incredibly awesome was this?
To stop off at SeaQuest?
Was here about a year ago.
I am absolutely happy that we came back.
They made a lot of really good changes.
Gave me a lot of great ideas.
If you're ever in an area where there's a SeaQuest,
I think there's 13 or 14 locations across the country,
you definitely gotta stop in
and show them some love because it is amazing.
You will have an absolutely incredible time
and, as always, I'll put links in the description
to all other stuff and so on like that.
If you enjoyed this video, we've got lots more to come.
Tomorrow is Yellowstone.
