- Hey, good morning.
And what I meant to say is actually good evening
and welcome to the vlog.
As a matter of fact,
not even evening, three o'clock in the morning.
That's right.
We're at Gatorland and we're excited
'cause Savannah actually asked us
to come out in the middle of the night
and go do some animal adventures at 3:00 AM.
So what do you say, meet up with Savannah
and go have a good time.
Savannah!
- Hey!
- What is going on? (laughing)
Why are we here in the middle of the night?
- Overnight challenge.
- Oh my god, this is amazing.
There is so awesome. It's great to be at Gatorland anytime.
And of course, we're here for CrocFest
which is gonna be absolutely incredible,
but we have to get a little bit more Gatorland in our life.
- Yes.
- And a little more Savannah in our life.
- Yes!
- So obviously as always,
I put all those links in the description.
She's doing Vlogmass, so go pay her some love,
tell her I sent you.
And what are we doing?
- So let's go feed some alligators in the dark.
- Oh what could possibly go wrong.
- Nothing!
- All right, let's-
- We'll be fine but we gotta be quiet
'cause we don't want security to find us.
- Oh well yeah, you quiet. Yeah, that's gonna work, right?
- I'm gonna try to be quiet.
- Okay, yeah. You were good before.
- I'm so happy to see you!
I haven't seen you for so long.
- This is gonna be amazing.
And we're gonna live, I promise you.
She's an expert. That's why I'm with her.
So let's go.
(upbeat music)
- We're gonna go find Jaws.
- [Brian] Going to find Jaws?
- [Savannah] Yeah. Jaws been picking a lotta fights lately,
so we have to check in on him.
- [Brian] Sounds good.
- [Savannah] There he is.
- [Nick] I can see him there.
- [Savannah] Can you see?
- [Brian] I can see him now.
- [Savannah] Jaw, you come here.
Jaws!
Where you going?
Here you go, come see Brian.
Come see.
Hi!
Look at those teeth!
- [Brian] He is such a beautiful animal.
- [Savannah] Yeah, he's been fighting.
You can see that little bit right there.
- [Scott] Yes.
- [Savannah] He's in fighting a lot.
But to be fair, he picks all the fights.
- [Brian] You pick all the fights, Jaws?
- [Savannah] He does.
- [Brian] You naughty boy.
- [Savannah] He does.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, what an amazing animal.
- [Savannah] You upset? I'll get you something to eat.
Stay right there.
- So it's pretty amazing.
We have Jaws just sitting here,
again, in the middle of the night.
I mean, how absolutely incredible is that?
It's just cool.
I mean, it's definitely a different experience at night.
It's cool to see Jaws
but we're gonna go ahead and give them a little treat.
- [Savannah] Okay, ready?
How's that?
Is that yummy?
Are you my favorite thing in the park?
Yeah.
(chuckling)
Are you my favorite?
Yeah. - [Brian] He loves you.
- [Savannah] It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
You're okay.
(laughing)
- [Brian] He goes to sleep.
- [Savannah] He's like, "All right mom, I'm out."
- [Nick] Gators! I'm here! Let's go!
- Calling up the gators for a feeding again.
A middle of the night feeding.
- [Nick] Hey, oh! Come on!
What possibly can go wrong, right?
- [Nick] Come on! Okay.
- [Brian] Here come, here come some.
- [Nick] Come on! Come on gators!
- [Savannah] If you stand here,
you might be able to see 'em coming in.
- [Nick] Come on gators.
- [Savannah] Get down here, give them some room.
- [Nick] Gator!
Come on.
- [Savannah] So Nicks' new, right?
- [Brian] Mm-hm.
- Nick is of the opinion that the south side gators
are disrespectful to him.
- They are very disrespectful to me.
(laughing)
- [Brian] Really?
- They are. Northern gators love me.
- [Brian] What?
- [Nick] Southern gators don't respect me.
- [Brian] Really?
- [Nick] No respect out here.
(laughing) - [Scott] No respect out here.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
- [Nick] Gators! Come on!
- [Brian] So it's only south side though, right?
North side gators? - South side, yeah.
- South side for life!
- No, north side represents!
- No, he's north side.
- [Brian] He's north side.
- [Brian] Buster!
Come on Buster up here!
- You can slowly see the eye kinda coming out of the water.
It's pretty spooky, I'm not gonna lie.
But pretty freakin' awesome.
- [Savannah] (inaudible) brown.
(laughing)
- We're all like, okay do your best Michael brother.
Buster!
- Big, big boy! - [Nick] Big boy!
- [Nick] Big boy, up here!
- So we've been here for probably like 15 minutes or so,
just kind of getting as many alligators up on the pond
as we did so that we could feed them now.
It's actually pretty hilarious.
You've gotta remember that these guys
aren't really used to eating at night.
This is a daytime thing.
So I can't thank them enough for doing this
'cause it's pretty epic.
It's amazing Trish.
Go get in that little group coming
and a bunch more are coming in now, too.
So it's time to actually feed these guys now.
There you go, get you a bunny.
- [Savannah] There you go, buzzed out.
- [Brian] Yep, I got ya.
Come on up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up.
- [Savannah] It's kind of. - [Brian] Come on, look up.
Nope, now you missed it.
- [Savannah] Here, I'll get it.
(laughing)
Oh! That was a good shot!
- [Brian] Very good. Good job, buddy.
Who's going next?
Come on up. Up, up, up, up, up.
- [Savannah] So all of 'em don't put their heads up
when we see them.
- [Brian] Nope. Only some of 'em?
- [Savannah] Yeah.
And she's not one of 'em.
(chuckling)
- [Brian] It hit her on the side of the head.
- [Savannah] Blondie!
- [Nick] Come on, Blondie! - [Savannah] Come on!
- [Savannah] Blondie, here!
Blondie. (mimics popping sound)
- [Nick] Boy.
- [Brian] Good job, buddy.
- [Savannah] Hey, hey!
- [Brian] (chuckling) That is a gigantic alligator.
Holy cow.
That thing is a beast.
- [Savannah] Blondie is not very friendly alligator either.
- [Brian] No?
- [Savannah] Uh-uh.
- [Brian] What's the matter Blondie?
- [Savannah] You heard all that noise?
Blondie, what you so mean?
I'm gonna tap 'em and I'm gonna jump out.
- [Brian] Okay. No it's fine.
(laughing)
That's so freaking awesome.
- [Savannah] Uh-oh. - [Nick] Sure bites a lot. No!
- [Savannah] Uh-oh.
Go on around here.
Craftsman, here!
Craftsman will talk to you.
Craftsman here, here!
(splashing)
Get up here.
Come on.
Come on!
Craftsman!
You here him?
- [Brian] Oh yeah, yeah.
- [Savannah] He's talkin' to us.
So that's his...
So we've isolated his sound,
so hopefully he's do it again.
But sometimes if he's not excited, he won't.
(hissing)
Craftsman, up!
Craftsman, can you talk to me?
Let me here you!
Growl.
(hissed growling)
- [Brian] That's awesome man.
That is epic man. Holy cow.
- [Savannah] But usually when he comes up,
'cause he's a little gun shy right now
because of all the lights and it's nighttime.
But usually when he comes up and he'll go,
I'll say, "Craftsman, what do you wanna say to us?"
And he'll be like, (mimics growling).
- [Brian] Oh my god, that is awesome.
- [Savannah] Does he talk all the time?
- [Brian] Taking one out?
- [Savannah] Yeah? Yeah.
(hissing)
You talkin' to Brian?
Talk to him.
You talk to him.
(laughing)
- [Brian] Oh my god, that is an amazing animal.
- [Savannah] What do you say?
I trust him way more that Blondie?
- [Brian] Really? - [Savannah] Yeah, absolutely.
- [Brian] Such a great animal.
Look at the teeth on that.
Geez, beautiful.
Such a majestic animal.
- [Savannah] Beep. This is amazing-
(laughing)
- [Brian] What are you doing silly?
- [Savannah] Boop.
(suction sounding)
- [Brian] Oh, that was a good one.
- [Nick] That was a good one.
- [Brian] That was a good one.
- [Savannah] He's very vocal.
- So my friend from India, his name is Soham
and he's an alligator and crocodile trainer.
And when he came here one day,
Craftsman always makes a lot of noise.
But on this specific day,
Craftsman swan across the lake and he greeted us
with like, (mimics growling).
And I never think much about it.
But he was like, "Hey, you should isolate that sound."
Because he is greeting you every time he does that.
So now when he comes up and he growls
we reinforce it with food.
But if he comes in and he doesn't grow,
we don't give him any.
So it's been a really neat sort of experience.
- [Brian] That's amazing.
- [Savannah] You're good.
(upbeat music)
- We're actually heading into the breeding marsh.
This is where we're gonna see the eyeshines.
Know, let me tell you a little bit about eyeshines.
Uh, Savannah.
- Tapetum lucidum.
- Tapatums soli-
What it is? (laughing)
What is it now?
- Tapetum lucidum.
It's basically crystal in their eyes
that collect light all day,
and they make 'em shine red at night.
- And every time, I just want her to say that.
I love when she say's it.
It's one of my favorite things about Savannah.
So, it actually glows.
So we're gonna do an eyeshine right now.
I know we have CrocFest tomorrow
but we actually got invited to Gatorland
from our friend Savannah in the middle of the night.
And you know, I need animals in my life
so I said, "What the heck. Who needs sleep?
Let's just to have some fun with some alligators tonight.
It's gonna be an amazing time tomorrow."
But tonight is absolutely amazing.
Again, it's the middle of the night.
And what's really crazy
as we're walking through the breeder marsh,
is that you can hear alligators
just kind of flopping around and stuff like that.
And it's really cool to be at a zoo at night
when it's closed.
It's absolutely epic to be at Gatorland
is really something special
'cause it's one of my favorite places on the planet
to be honest with you.
And it's just really interesting to see the animals.
You've gotta remember, these are nocturnal animals,
so they really come alive at night.
So it's really cool to see all the things
that you probably wouldn't see as much during the daytime.
Even though it's pitch dark
and it's the middle of the night,
it's still absolutely epic here.
(upbeat jungle music)
All right guys. So I love this.
We have a...Santa's got new reindeer.
It's obviously the uh,
(chucking) What are these, Savannah?
- [Savannah] They're flying reindeer!
- [Brian] They're flying reindeer?
- They're flying alligator deer!
(laughing)
- [Brian] I like Rudolph. It's absolutely amazing.
I like the little albino.
- [Savannah] The little albino is Randolf,
the pink-eyed gator.
- [Brian] Randolf, the pink-
- And he saves Christmas,
if you haven't read the book I wrote.
- [Brian] I didn't get that memo, I'm sorry.
So obviously there's some Christmas stuff happening here.
It's festive. Let's, I love this place.
- And Gator Clause is gonna be on this airboat tomorrow.
- [Brian] Gator Clause?
- [Savannah] You never heard of Gator Clause?
- I have not heard a Gator Clause.
I can't believe it but-
- Gator Clause is the Gatorland Santa Claus.
- [Brian] All right, all right. I love it.
It's great!
And one of my favorite movies, honestly, of all time,
Christmas movies, I think is great, is Krampus.
So we got Krampus Croc that's gonna be here tomorrow.
So we're gonna have some fun tomorrow at CrocFest.
This is gonna be absolutely epic.
(loud chirping)
- [Savannah] Dundy, where are you?
(loud chirping)
Just walking the train track to Gatorland.
You know what I mean?
Actually, we're actually gonna see
if we can get a crocodile to come up here.
- [Savannah] Here they come!
- Here they come. Here they come.
- [Savannah] Oh, where'd she go?
Oh, there she is.
Come on, Sheila!
Come on, Sheila.
Come on, Sheila!
Good girl, Sheila.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
- [Savannah] She's so scary.
- [Brian] It is, really.
I mean, look at that face.
- [Savannah] Oh look, and he's brought us chicken?
Get it Sheila.
Sheila.
Oh! (laughing)
- [Brian] She saw you bending off to get that.
I'll get ya.
- [Savannah] Soon as you take your eyes off of 'em.
Sheila stop that!
I got you this.
Here, come down here.
There you go.
Down further, there you go.
- [Brian] There you go. Good job Sheila.
That is a gorgeous animal though.
- [Savannah] It is, right?
- [Brian] Gosh, they're just different at night too.
- [Savannah] They're so scary at night.
Dundy!
- [Brian] Here he comes.
- [Savannah] Scary. Hey, Scary.
(mimics popping sound)
Come here.
- [Brian] Oh.
- [Savannah] Look at those eyes.
- [Brian] Sheesh, that's insane.
- [Savannah] Pretty crazy.
Hey! Cut it out!
I gotchu something.
I gotchu something. Look at here coming up here.
Look. Like the devil.
Hey, stop it!
Come on, man.
- [Brian] Oh, she got it. - [Savannah] Oh!
- [Brian] She got it.
- [Savannah] What?!
- [Brian] She took it from him.
Come on, man.
- [Brian] Oh, she got it.
- [Savannah] Oh!
- [Brian] She got it.
- What?!
- [Brian] She got it.
- That was crazy!
- [Brian] Oh my god.
- [Savannah] How'd she do that?
- [Brian] Oh he could of bit that one.
- [Savannah] Oh, he's gonna be mad at her.
So sometimes when I come back here with them by myself,
I like to put it on a skewer.
He likes on a skewered.
- [Brian] He's happy now.
- We're gonna do a big feeding with him
tomorrow at CrocFest.
- [Brian] Nice.
- [Savannah] Here, this is gross meat.
- [Brian] He doesn't seem to mind.
- [Savannah] Uh-oh, here comes...
- [Brian] Here comes trouble.
- [Savannah] He used to never be like that.
And so this year,
this year is the first year she ever laid eggs.
So ever since then,
she's kind of been a little bit full of herself.
- I need you to help me guys.
- Aren't you supposed to be an adventure tourist?
- Oh my goodness, yeah.
- Not scary tourist.
- No. - What the heck, man.
- It is nighttime.
- Why'd you show-
- I am not clocked in!
- He said, "Ah!"
(laughing)
- [Nick] You shoved me into a bird, Scott.
(inaudible)
- Savannah, this was an absolutely amazing night
to come here in the middle of the night
and feed alligators and see Gatorland.
Thank you so much. I can't wait to see it till tomorrow!
- Tomorrow.
- CrocFest is gonna be amazing.
