NARRATOR: Swamp veteran Glen Geist has a lot on his mind.
And he's called his old friend, Todd, over to help him out.
Where did you get 'em from?
I know it might sound crazy, but
sometimes, man, I don't know.
You just get a crazy idea.
And my crazy idea was this floating bicycle.
Let's go.
I know this guy in New Orleans that builds bicycles.
New Orleans here we come.
TODD: There's your city, Glenn.
I ain't a city person, man.
I don't know the first thing about New Orleans.
But I knew I had to see Peter before my idea runs out.
You just follow your dream.
Yep, this is it.
Better check your boy out, Glenn.
Is that him?
Yeah, I think so.
That's a hell of a bike right there, Glenn.
Yeah, buddy.
What's up, Peter?
Hey, brah, I had an idea.
I found all these in the swamp.
OK.
I had a idea of a floating bicycle.
I know-- I know it's a kind of weird idea.
[laughing]
Let me get these jugs out the back.
And I'll show you what I've got in mind.
NARRATOR: As Glenn starts construction
on his floating bicycle--
[trumpets playing]
You can move a little bit if you want to.
NARRATOR: Glenn and Todd wander the Big
Easy while they wait for Glenn's floating
bicycle to be finished.
I can't, brah.
I ain't got no shoes on.
You know, I ain't a city person.
I'm more of a country person.
[music playing]
Glenn.
Yeah, buddy.
Drink up.
TODD: He said your bicycle is ready?
Yep, he said it was ready, brah.
Let's see.
NARRATOR: Glenn returns to the builder
to pick up his floating bike.
TODD: Oh, yeah.
GLENN: Wow, man, this is my vision here, brah.
Oh, brah, you hit it right on the nail.
I looked at this bike when Peter pulls it
out of there, man, and I don't know if I'd want to ride it
or not.
I'll tell you what.
Hey, I'm gonna try it out right now.
I'm gonna see if I can't just ride it off in the water.
Glenn's gonna ride it into the water.
And it's going to sink like a stone, you know?
I mean, he's gonna be riding on the bottom of the bayou
or something, you know?
You going to show me how it works?
Oh, I got you.
That's one of the craziest contraptions I've ever seen.
Y'all better get out of the way.
That's all I can say.
All right, here we go.
Watch yourself now.
Just hold on.
Let me get started.
Here goes nothing, brah.
There he goes!
Here I go!
Oh, yeah.
See, brah, she floats, man.
It floats.
Yeah, man.
Oh, yeah.
Dang.
Yeah, brah.
She's floating like a dream.
Looking good.
Wow, you know, I didn't think this was going to work.
But Glenn's little dream came true.
That's a really neat little contraption.
It works pretty good.
Yeah, dude.
A lot of people have dreams, but they never do the hard work
can make it happen.
It works, brah.
It works!
This morning, I had no idea I was
going to have a floating bike.
And look what happened.
Yeah, buddy.
Sometimes, when you follow your dream, it comes true.
Hell yeah!
It works!
Woo!
