- Welcome to a night adventure video.
Today we are going scorpion hunting.
Yes, you heard that right.
I need to explain a little bit but first
we need to pick up my buddy, Grant,
he's gonna help us and we gotta get Lincoln,
we're gonna try to invite my dad to come
but let me explain what we're up to.
This is Grant.
You may remember him from some early videos
when he was just a little guy.
So there's one thing about my dad, his grandpa
that everybody knows.
He's super scared of bugs, just I don't know if
he's scared, he just doesn't like em, right?
- Yeah, he doesn't like em at all.
- There's no way he would ever got scorpion hunting, right?
- No.
- So I just called him and told him
that we're gonna come over
and we have a question to ask him but he doesn't
know what it is so watch for the look
on his face when we ask him.
(knocking)
This is grandpa's house.
- Who is it?
- [Daniel] Hey.
- What are you doing here?
- [Daniel] Alright so we're going on an adventure.
We wanna know if you wanna join us.
Do you like adventures?
- Yeah.
And have you told Grant what the challenge is?
- [Daniel] He knows.
- And he still has a smile on his face.
- [Daniel] Oh, he's pumped.
- Oh yeah, I'm excited.
- Okay, then I'm in.
- [Daniel] K, we're gonna go scorpion hunting.
- Oh, okay.
- [Daniel] Are you really in?
- I'm in, I'll go get my shoes on.
- Oh!
We thought for sure he'd say no.
This is great.
- I can't believe that to be honest.
- I didn't see that coming but I'm happy about it.
- I have one condition for going on the scorpion hunt,
I wear my blue gloves.
- [Daniel] Is that okay?
- Yeah.
- [Daniel] Alright, you can still come, it's good.
- Okay.
- First of all, our neighbors had 30 scorpions
in their house the other day.
They got infested by it.
When it's a common thing in an area and if there's
construction nearby, they leave their homes
from the construction and they find a new home,
which a lot of times is in somebody's home.
Their little three year old son had to go
to the emergency room because he got stung three times
and so it's a really good thing to take out scorpions
and to find them.
We're gonna show you what that process is
because it's actually really cool.
First stop, Ace Hardware, the general store.
The cool thing about hunting for scorpions
when you shine a blacklight on them
they turn fluorescent green and you just see em,
it's amazing so we need to buy some black lights
so we're here, hopefully they're still open.
Oh, look at this tool.
36 inch pick up tool, that could be good for scorpions like.
We just asked if they had black lights and they said,
oh for scorpions?
And my dad was like, how do you know that?
You're surprised by that?
- I'm surprised by that.
- [Daniel] Oh look at this, it even shows it on there.
Oh the scorpion.
- Wow.
- Let us know in the comments, why are black lights blue?
Alright we need a picker upper, scorpion picker upper.
The other thing you need, a giant crowbar
so you can just grab it and you see it and you go,
boom, I'm sliced in half.
We are set.
I got this tool.
You've got the picker upper tool and grandpa
has the black lights.
Now, the best thing about this is my brother in law,
Sam, who we did the race with when we raced
the Tesla versus the Can am.
He worked in pest control for the last 12 years
so he's an expert when it comes to all things pests
and what to do with them so we're gonna go
meet up with him and Lincoln right now,
they're waiting for us in the neighborhood.
This is the blacklight.
It's really blue.
Ew, you see one of my teeth are metal
so it looks really nasty.
You see that?
Look at my teeth, dad.
(laughing)
We're gonna go out and find Lincoln, we found their truck.
There it is right there, time to go and find some scorpions.
Ah, look how cool the back of grandpa's shirt looks.
Let me shine it on there.
Lincoln, did you find any?
- Yeah!
- [Daniel] You got a scorpion?
- We caught one or two.
- [Daniel] Did it look cool?
- It looks green, I didn't really see it much,
I was running back the other way.
- [Daniel] This is really dusty.
- No, go over there, you'll see.
- [Daniel] How far away do we need to go?
- See that house with the lights over there?
- [Daniel] The red lights?
- Yeah.
- [Daniel] Oh.
- It's kind of over there, maybe a bit farther.
- [Daniel] Oh my gosh.
- Someone's in those bushes.
- There's two!
- [Daniel] Oh my gosh, look right there.
Oh boy.
Are you seeing this, guys?
Look how bright that guy is.
Look at that, guys, we're gonna get close up on him.
You see the scorpion?
- [Man] Let's play with him a little bit.
Come on, put on a show.
Oh, he's after your foot!
- We've got this little grabber thing,
we're gonna see if we can grab one with this
and pull it up, get ready for this.
Oh my gosh.
K, go for it, Sammy.
- [Sam] Oh, you little sucker.
There it is.
- Oh, he's gone.
- [Sam] I don't know about your grabber,
it doesn't even close.
- [Daniel] The grabber doesn't even close all the way.
If you're going scorpion hunting, do not get
the Ace hardware grabber thingy tooly.
Oh, wait, wait!
Oh!
Get all eye on him, guys, everybody with black lights on it.
Look at this, guys.
- [Sam] He's trying to sting it.
- [Daniel] He's gonna sting itself.
Oh my gosh, look at that.
- [Lincoln] Does he do that?
- [Daniel] He's stinging stuff.
Look at the stinger, guys.
- [Lincoln] Did he just sting himself?
- [Daniel] Oh, eek, oh, Sammy, you got him.
Look at the stinger on that guy.
Oh!
- [Dam] Oh, it shocked.
- [Daniel] Sam is gonna be brave, he's got gloves
on right now and he's actually gonna
pick it up with his hand.
- Now what do you think about that, my friends?
- [Daniel] Lincoln, look at that.
Look at this, guys.
- That's a good one, dude.
- [Daniel] Look at that Sam, it's just holding
the guy right there.
- [Daniel] Oh dang, people.
So Sam, why did we come to this place?
- I used to do pest control and a lot of our good customers
would say you know, we have scorpions so I kinda
know the good areas in town.
- [Daniel] When's the last time you picked one of these up?
- I actually have never picked one up.
- [Daniel] Yes, 12 years, we don't know
what's gonna happen next.
- These are small.
Like actually this is an adult scorpion but there's
several different species of scorpions
and some of them, I don't know if you're gonna
be able to see but you can get them to be six,
seven, eight inches long.
For a majority of them, we're not in Arizona,
where you have a bark scorpion problem,
there are bark scorpions here but like you think
but it's kind of just like a bee sting.
If you have a bark scorpion, you probably need to
get some sort of professional help.
- [Sam] Should we let him live?
- [Lincoln] No!
- [Daniel] Let him live, let him live.
You've been through enough in your life.
Oh see, he's happy, guys.
- There's another one.
Let's find that hub.
- [Daniel] Oh that guys fast, look at that guy.
Keep it on it, Grant.
Oh that guy's fast.
How many did you just find right there?
- There's one, two, three, four, five, six,
I just saw one, right there, seven.
Look at this guy.
Oh!
- [Daniel] Oh, that guy up there to?
- Wait, what's he got on his back?
- [Daniel] I don't know, looks like he's got like
little babies on him or something.
- That one has babies on it, I would love to somehow
get that down here but you can see the babies
moving on its back.
Scorpions are arachnids and some arachnids carry
their babies on themselves.
If some of them will move, you can see
the babies have, oh.
You guys see that scorpion?
Itty bitty baby one moving on that back?
Now they're not fluorescent, they don't get
their fluorescent until later but boy,
we don't wanna mess with that one.
Oh that was so exciting, yeah.
He's got a bug, he's got a cockroach.
- [Daniel] Shut up.
- It's eating a cockroach!
- [Daniel] Shut up.
This is what they look like when the black light
is not on them and he's eating a cockroach.
At what point tonight Dad, did you regret saying
yes to this trip?
- When we entered the swamp.
- [Daniel] This is like bug city.
- Look on the ground, look at that.
- [Daniel] There's just ants everywhere like
I feel them on my legs the whole time.
Then there's Sam over here that's like so excited.
- That's one's like big and he's all scrunched up.
- [Daniel] You can take the pest control away from the man,
but you can never take the pest control out of the man,
Steve Irwin would be proud of you, Sam.
So Lincoln, what are your thoughts about this whole thing?
- I am freaked out.
I wanna go hide in the car.
- [Daniel] Alright well, you can tell your old company
hey, come spray the rocks.
Are you good if we leave and head out here real quick
and clean our legs off?
- You chickens.
You dang chickens.
- [Daniel] Can you guys see this?
These are all cockroaches.
Oh, that's gross, that's gross, okay.
- [Lincoln] This is the spot where I walked right over them.
- Watch this, one, two, three, bam.
Oh, that's a cool Tesla.
(exciting music)
Okay, so after that we need to get ice cream.
That was just too crazy and every one of you
have to wash your hands at least these two boys.
Does the ice cream make it all worth it?
- Ice cream makes it worth it.
- Yes, alright.
Grant, would you do it again?
- Yeah, definitely.
- [Daniel] Lincoln?
- Camera's blinking, I think it's almost dead.
I don't know.
It's kinda scary.
- Let's take one and we'll take it to our house
and our backyard and see if we can find him.
Okay, ice cream time.
- What?
(exciting music)
