- [Camera man] Go go go go go!
- Yes, yes yes stay here, stay here.
- [Mark] Dude, just saw a tarantula hawk,
did you see it?
- I didn't see it, no.
- [Mark] Oh my gosh, I hope he gets it.
Careful!
(adventurous music)
He's gonna get it.
He sees it.
(Coyote screams)
What happened?
Go, go, go!
- [Coyote] (screams in pain) Oh no!
- [Mark] What's wrong, did you catch it?
- Yeah I caught it!
But the bad news is
I caught something else too.
- Oh my goodness.
That is the worst cholla spike I've ever seen.
- Hold on a second, hold on, - Oh my gosh
- I don't wanna get stung by the tarantula hawk.
- [Mark] Oh, they're all over you man!
(Coyote screams)
(adventurous music)
- (Screams) Hold on a second, let me get this under control.
- [Mark] Oh my gosh.
How you gonna get all of those off?
- Hold on, hold on.
Cup him under there.
- They're all over here.
- Oh, boy.
That was not good. - Oh my gosh.
- Hold on, I'm like in them.
Back up.
Oh my gosh, man. - They're all over my legs.
Oh my gosh, they're everywhere. Dude.
- [Coyote] Okay.
- [Camera man] Did you get the tarantula hawk at least?
- I did, I did, I caught the tarantula hawk, but...
- [Mark] They're all over me.
(Coyote grunts in pain)
Oh my gosh that's the worst.
That's the worst cholla attack I've ever seen.
- Oh guys this is bad.
- That's really bad.
- How many are on my back?
- A lot. Maybe like 10.
One on your foot.
- Oh man, the one on my arm's really hurtin'.
Well you know in that instance when you need
to catch the animal, you don't really think about it.
You just make the catch, and I did.
I caught the tarantula hawk.
- [Mark] Where is it, by the way?
- I wrapped it up, it's in the net.
It's right over there.
Oh my gosh, okay.
Well, I guess there's a lesson to be learned here.
Always watch where you're going,
and you guys have seen me get
pricked in the hand before by a cholla.
This, might as well get a little education
in while we can. (inhales sharply)
This is a teddy bear cholla.
Watch it, you've got 'em on your feet.
There are jumping cholla, and there are teddy bear cholla.
This is the teddy bear variety,
and it is not soft and cuddly like a teddy bear.
Mark, I got a multitool on the side of my pouch here.
- [Mark] Alright.
- Put your camera down.
- [Mark] Okay.
- Chance, you keep filming this,
Mark I'm gonna need your help, man, I can't move my arm.
- [Mark] Alright, hold on a second.
- Get the multitool, off of there.
(groans)
I feel like a pincushion right now.
If you're out here in the desert hiking,
and you wander into a cholla,
they say you can use a hair comb
to get cholla off of you.
But, as we know, I don't have any hair.
So I don't usually carry a comb with me.
But I do have a multitool.
And, yeah there we go, alright
get these ones off my boots.
Yeah those ones, those don't hurt.
Those are into the rubber and the side of my keens.
If you guys thought getting quilled by a porcupine was bad,
this hurts so much worse.
Oh, my leg! (groans)
- Try to do it in one sweep. One, two!
(screams) Oh that hurt!
- You alright?
That's one.
- Oh, man!
This is like pulling off the worst bandaid ever.
Alright, yeah.
(Mark screams)
Oh, no! (laughs)
Now it's in your hand!
- Coyote? - Yeah.
- Why do you always get me in these situations?
- Sorry, man.
- Okay, hold on. (groans)
Nope, nope don't shake 'em off.
You don't shake 'em off.
- No, no don't shake it off.
Here, why don't you put the multitool,
- Hold on. - Can you get it off yourself?
- Yeah, yeah, hold on.
- Oh, guys we are...
- (Inhales) It keeps getting worse, the weight,
it's like going in there.
- Yeah, it's not fun is it?
- Alright, like a bandaid?
- Like a bandaid.
(Mark screams) (Coyote laughs)
- Oh my gosh that hurts.
- Imagine what I'm going through right now?
- Oh my gosh it feels so much worse for you right now.
- Oh, first blood, first blood.
- I'm gonna be a lot more careful now.
- Okay. (inhales)
- Nervous now.
(Coyote screams)
- Let me, hold on, let me explain to you guys
why this hurts so much.
This is not just like a needle or a pin
going into your skin.
The end of these spines, and the spines on the cholla
are nothing more than modified leaves,
but they have barbs, microscopic barbs on their ends.
So every time we pull one off,
it is yanking out chunks of skin and flesh.
Wow this one in my arm is going to hurt so bad.
It is so deep in there I almost can't squeeze my hand.
- Alright, I think I gotta get this.
I'm afraid you're gonna get hit in the face.
So I don't want that.
They're so sharp.
(Coyote screams)
(Mark laughs) Sorry, man.
- Did you get it?
- Did it come off? - No.
- No? Oh my gosh.
- Alright. Ready, ready?
- Yeah, yeah. (gasps)
- Oh, no, it just kind of fell down and stuck in again.
Dude I am so sorry.
(breathless gasp)
Oh my god.
- [Chance] What was that noise?
- I don't know! It hurts so bad!
- This one's gonna be bad, I'm gonna get this one.
- Ow! Did you get it?
- [Mark] Yeah I got that one.
Let me try and get this one.
(Coyote screams)
Alright, I'm gonna get this one I think.
And then pull back at me?
- [Coyote] I guess so.
(screams)
Yoinks!
Think we gotta get this big one out first
and that one last because I'm afraid
you might flick that one at my face.
And I think this one's gonna come out
because you can pull it that way and I can...
- [Mark] Okay, can you just put your arm out?
(Coyote gasps)
Oh, no you can't.
- Oh, I can barely move my arm, it's like it's hit a nerve.
I'm having trouble like squeezing my arm.
- [Mark] He casts off, one two three!
(Coyote screams and exhales)
- Oh, wow!
That one hurt.
I'm glad we save this one for last though
'cause I don't think this one's in there that deep.
Not as deep as that one.
- [Mark] That's brutal.
Alright, let's get this last one.
- Alright, last one, last one.
Let me turn it like that so you don't get it.
Don't hit my face.
- [Mark] One, two, three go!
(Coyote screams)
- Get it? (screams) No, ouch!
- [Mark] That was in there.
Whew, that was excitement.
- Wow, guys.
That was seriously intense.
But the good news, wait here.
(laughs) Woo!
Come here, buddy!
- [Mark] You got it.
- I got it!
And then that there, that is a tarantula hawk.
- [Mark] Whoa, careful.
- [Coyote] No, I know, we gotta be careful not to get stung.
Didn't expect to make this,
I mean what are we gonna call this, an On Location?
- [Mark] Yeah.
- Yeah, I guess this is an On Location,
Us out here trying to catch a tarantula hawk,
made the catch but fell into a teddy bear cholla.
(slow-motion grunts of pain)
Gosh that one hurt!
Nothing like having an epic ending to an awesome day
here in the Sonoran Desert.
I'm Coyote Peterson. Be brave,
stay wild, stay away from the teddy bear cholla,
we'll see you on the next location.
Woo, we got it!
I just caught a tarantula hawk,
which is said to have the second most painful sting
in the insect kingdom.
I think we all know what's going to happen next.
