>> Stephen: LET ME START OFF BY SAYING WE'VE NEVER MET
BEFORE.
I'M A BIG FAN.
I THINK I PROBABLY WATCHED EVERY EPISO THE OF "MAN VERSUS WILD"
WHICH IS HOW A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT TO KNOW YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME.
SEVEN YEARS, WHO WON?
MAN OR WILD?
I DIDN'T SEE THE LAST EPISODE.
>> YEAH.
WELL, I THINK-- I THINK THAT THE WILD HUMBLED ME FOR SURE.
I THINK THE TRUTH IS THE WILD WON.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE'RE STILL STANDING, BUT I THINK THE LESSON
ALWAYS IS, IS THAT YOU GET THROUGH BY THE SKIN OF YOUR
TEETH.
THE WILD IS ALWAYS IN CHARGE.
AND I THINK OVER THE YEARS, MY RESPECT FOR THE, YOU KNOW, THE
BIG MOUNTAINS AND THE JUNGLES AND THE DESERTS HAS GROWN AND
GROWN.
AND YOU REALIZE YOU'RE REALLY PRETTY SMALL.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU EVER UNDERESTIMATED NATURE,
UNDERESTIMATED THE WILD?
>> I MEAN, A HUNDRED TIMES.
AND EVERY TIME IT KICKS YOU IN THE BACKSIDE HARD.
AND, YOU KNOW-- >> Stephen: UNFORGIVING.
>> UNFORGIVING.
NATURE IS LIKE YOUR MOM AYOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: UNFORGIVING.
YOU KNOW HOW MOM AS ARE, UNFORGIVING!
JUST HARSH!
>> WELL, THE END OF THAT IS TO SAY IF YOU DISRESPECT HER,
SHE'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.
>> Stephen: THERE YOU ARE.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
YOU'VE BEEN SEEN TO DRINK YOUR OWN URINE.
I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, SOME PEOPLE DO IT FOR HEALTH REASONS, BUT DID YOU IT
TO SURVIVE, SURVIVAL.
>> I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO DO IT FOR FUN AND IT IS NOT
FUN.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS THE ETIQUETTE WHEN YOU'RE DRINK AGO?
>> ETIQUETTE?
>> Stephen: IF YOU SHARE, THOSE WHO SUPPLY-- WHEN YOU
DRINK SOMEONE ELSE'S URINE, DO YOU LIFT THE PINKY?
>> IT'S RESPECTFUL TO LIFT THE PINKY IS-- LISTEN, ON THE WHOLE,
IF I'VE EVER HAD TO GET TO A STAGE OF DRINKING MY OWN PEE,
IT'S BEEN MY OWN PEE.
ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS-- MICHELLE
RODRIGUEZ, I TOOK HER INTO THE WILD ONCE, AND WE ENDED UP
SHARING PEE.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY WE ENDED UP SHARING PEE.
BUT, ANYWAY, THAT WAS-- WE'D BEEN BOILING A RAT.
THAT WAS IT.
WE'D BEEN BOILING A RAT IN THE URINE.
>> Stephen: YOU BOILED THE RAT IN THE URINE?
>> I THINK I WAS OUT OF PEE, AND SHE HAD A FULL BLADDER.
THEY ALL-- TO BE HONEST, THEY ALL BLEND INTO EACH OTHER AFTER
A WHILE.
>> Stephen: BAKER WERE YOU TRYING TO--
>> THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF THEM.
>> Stephen: WERE YOU TRYING TO FLAVOR THE URINE WITH RAT, OR
FLAVOR THE URINE WITH RAT.
>> I WASN'T TRYING TO FLAVOR ANYTHING.
THERE WAS NO WATER.
AND WE HAD TO BOIL THE STEW -- >> Stephen: WHERE WERE YOU?
WHERE WERE YOU?
>> THAT WAS IN THE DESERT SOMEWHERE.
YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY ALL BLEND INTO EACH OTHER.
( LAUGHTER )
ME IN BARS AND GO, "A PINT OF URINE."
YEAH, THAT IS THE-- BUT THE THING SIT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.
THAT'S THE THING TO REMEMBER.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE DEHYDRATED AND YOU'RE PEEING OUT BROWN--
WHY DO WE ALWAYS END UP TALKING ABOUT THIS STUFF.
IF IT'S BROWN PEE, THE WASTE PRODUCT IS NO GOOD.
IF YOU'RE WELL HYDRATED, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE WASTING IT, SO
IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE.
>> Stephen: GOOD TO KNOW.
THANK YOU.
>> YOU NEVER KNOW -- >> Stephen: TONIGHT, TONIGHT,
IT MIGHT SAVE MY LIFE.
>> YOU NEVER KNOW, AND YOU LAUGH, BUT I'VE MET A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN IN SOME BAD SITUATIONS, AND THEY ALWAYS GO,
"I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ME," UNTIL IT HAPPENS.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE THE NEW SHOW "HOSTILE PLANET."
>> IF YOU'RE AN ANIMAL RIGHT ON THE EDGE ON SOME OF THE HARSHEST
CORNERS OF THE WORLD WITH ALL THE CLIMATE CHANGE THAT'S
HAPPENING IT'S MAKING THE EXTREME TOUGHER.
THE ANSWER IS EXTREMELY HOSTILE.
"HOSTILE PLANET" OF ALL THE SHOWS I HAVE DONE THIS IS A REAL
PRIVILEGE TO BE INVOLVED WITH.
IT TOOK 1300 DAYS OF FILMING.
WE'RE USED TO SHOWS OF A COUPLE OF DAYS OF EPISODES.
THIS IS A LABOR OF LOVE.
WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS WITH AN INCREDIBLE CREW.
SOME OF THE FOOTAGE THEY GOT OF SOME OF THESE ANIMALS RIGHT ON
THE EDGE IS JUST QUITE SHOCKING TO WATCH.
YOU KNOW, THE PLANET EARTH AND BLUE PLANET STUFF.
IT'S AMAZING TO WATCH.
BUT "HOSTILE PLANET" IS ALMOST HARD TO WATCH BECAUSE YOU'RE
SEEING ACTUALLY THE RESILIENCE THE ANIMALS HAVE TO HAVE.
LOOK AT THE POLAR BEARS.
THE ICE IS SO THIN THEY'VE RESORTED TO HUNTING WHALES.
AND JAGUARS HUNTING CROCODILES IN THE RIVERS.
IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP OF I BELIEVE HIGHLAND ETHIOPIAN
A.P.ES.
>> THEY'RE ANGRY.
DON'T MENT WITH -- >> Stephen: THEY'RE HOSTILE.
>> THEY ALL ARE.
>> Stephen: JIM.
>> TO HOLD ON TO POWER, THE OLD MALE MUST PROVE HIS STRENGTH,
BOTH TO THE BACHELORS, AND 'TIS HIZ FEMALES.
HE CHALLENGES THEM TO CHASE HIM.
♪ ♪ ♪ >> BUT NO ONE DARES TO ATTACK.
>> Stephen: BEAUTIFUL.
JUST BEAUTIFUL.
( APPLAUSE )
IT'S AMAZING.
>> Stephen: WELL, BEAR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> LOVELY MEETING YOU.
>> Stephen: "HOSTILE PLANET" IS ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
BEAR GRYLLS, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
