- I was getting kinda cool shots of the wind
in these coconut trees.
I love that movie Cast Away, where Tom Hanks
is throwing the coconut at the rocks,
and I kinda wonder if it's really that hard.
You think I can climb up there?
- [Voiceover] I mean, maybe, it's a little windy.
Aren't you afraid that you're gonna get blown off the tree?
- No, I'm like a cat climbing trees,
I think I can do this, I got this GoPro.
Alright, ready?
I'm gonna climb it.
- [Voiceover] Alright, go for it.
- [Coyote] Alright.
- [Voiceover] Are you gonna get a green or a brown coconut?
- I'm gonna try to get one of each.
- [Voiceover] Careful.
Wow, you did it.
- I got an iguana.
- [Voiceover] Iguana, nice!
- I'll put it in my pocket.
I'm up in the tree.
- [Voiceover] Are you still gonna get a coconut?
- Yeah.
Look out.
- [Voiceover] Whoa.
- [Coyote] Oh man, did it fall in the water?
- [Voicoever] Yeah, hold on, let me see if I can get it.
Got it, I got it.
- [Coyote] Alright, I'll get a brown one.
Woo!
- [Voiceover] Okay.
- Alright, I'm coming down.
- [Voiceover] Alright.
- Ahh.
That's rough on my coconuts.
Holy cow.
Look at this.
(laughing)
I caught an iguana while getting coconuts.
Come here, little guy.
I'm speechless right now.
Victory.
- [Voiceover] An iguana and two coconuts.
- An iguana and two coconuts.
Alright, let's get out of the wind
and figure out how to open these up.
(tribal music)
Hey everyone, I'm Coyote Peterson,
and welcome to our new segment, On Location.
This is gonna be a behind-the-scenes look
at all the stuff we do when we're not filming
and catching animals.
This morning I climbed up a tree and got these two coconuts.
I also caught an iguana, which was pretty cool,
because animals just make it into everything that we do.
Now the brown one sounds like it has a lot
of coconut milk in it, and the green one
just sounds like it's solid.
Now I've never opened up a coconut before,
so this is new for me.
I'm gonna go with the green one first.
I'm gonna use my SOG SEAL Pup and see if I can get
into this thing without cutting off my finger.
Alright, you ready?
- [Voiceover] Alright, hold on a second.
Have you done this before?
- No, I've never opened a coconut before.
I've also never climbed a palm tree to get a coconut,
or climbed a palm tree to get a coconut
and catch an iguana, so it's a first for everybody.
- [Voiceover] So safe to say you're a coconut rookie.
- Yes, I am a complete rookie
and I hope I don't cut my thumb off doing this.
Alright, you ready?
Here we go.
Oh, that's actually a lot softer than I thought it would be,
it's kinda like a mango.
One of my favorite movies is Cast Away with Tom Hanks,
and he just kept bashing those coconuts
against the rocks, trying to get them open.
I was like, "Really?
"Is it that hard to open up a coconut?"
I think that the brown ones are actually the ripe ones,
so this may be a non-ripe coconut.
Okay, I got this cut into several sections here.
See if I can, there we go, look at that.
Yes.
- [Voiceover] Progress.
(Coyote grunts)
Okay, tell us what it smells like.
- Ooo, it smells like a pumpkin.
- [Voiceover] Really?
Let me see it.
I don't think you're supposed to eat that.
- You're not.
- [Voiceover] Yuck.
- I just wanted to see what it--
- [Voiceover] Yeah, I coulda told you that.
- I just wanted to see what it tasted like, not good.
Now I think if I get this husk all the way off
then I can chop into the actual coconut fruit inside there.
That is the coconut.
Well, the good part of the coconut, right there.
Eat your heart out, Tom Hanks.
I'd say what, less than five minutes
and I got that thing pretty well husked down, huh?
Wow, there it is.
That is exactly what I was after.
Okay, now we're gonna get into--
- [Voiceover] Coconut number two.
- coconut number two.
I'm excited about this one, see if you can hear that.
(water swishing)
That one's full of coconut milk.
Oh yeah, now we're getting somewhere.
Oh wow, now that looks like a coconut.
(grunting)
Tom Hanks, if you're watching this right now,
you shoulda gone after the brown coconuts,
much easier to get into.
There is the coconut, wow.
(laughign) Look at that.
Okay, green coconut, brown coconut.
Sounds like it's full of coconut milk.
Sounds like a rock.
Only thing left to do now is cut into both of these
and have some breakfast.
Alright, I'm gonna get into this one first
and see if there's any coconut milk in there.
Yes, look at that, there's the coconut meat right there.
- [Voiceover] Oh, nice.
- Oh, we are in.
I'm gonna give it a go here.
- [Voiceover] Drink it like Tom Hanks,
make sure you get it to run down your face.
(laughing)
- Oh, it actually is pretty good, right?
- [Voiceover] Yeah.
(laughing)
- Yeah, that's good, that's really good.
Alright, well let's open up the brown one.
Wow, that's refreshing. (laughing)
Coconut breakfast, alright, here we go,
let's get into this one.
You ready?
- [Voiceover] Yeah.
- It's okay.
Mmm, the green one, much tastier
than the milk coming out of the brown one.
Okay, now I wanna get into meat.
Look at that, it's like gelatinous, almost.
Alright, that is the meat of the green coconut.
It has the consistency of raw fish.
I'm gonna give this a go.
They don't really taste like anything.
Ugh.
- [Voiceover] Nothing?
- You ever had sushi from the grocery store
that's like four days expired?
- [Voiceover] No.
- That's what that tastes like.
But not fishy, just like--
- [Voiceover] You're eating the wrong sushi, man.
- Okay, green coconut meat, not so good.
Green coconut milk, delicious.
Alright, now let's get into the brown coconut
and see what this meat is like.
Alright, I'm gonna bust this open on the rock,
you ready?
One, two.
(laughing)
Now that looks like a coconut.
You can see the difference in the thickness of the meat.
This is definitely underdeveloped,
where that looks like real coconut.
- [Voiceover] You could just eat that right there.
- That looks delicious.
Alright, I'm gonna give this a go, you ready?
Oh yeah, (laughing) that is good coconut right there.
Wow, holy cow.
Mark?
- [Voiceover] Okay, let me try.
- Give that a go, buddy.
- Oh yeah.
- Mhm.
- [Mark] Yeah.
- That's delicious.
Mario, you wanna try this?
- [Voiceover] Sure.
- Here you go, buddy.
- It's good.
- [Coyote] It's pretty good.
- [Mark] You know who else, I think,
might want to try that?
- Who's that?
- [Mark] Our new friend.
- Oh yes, hey Mario, where's Wilson at?
Wilson, hi buddy.
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed
our first On Location segment.
Climbing up a tree, catching an iguana,
getting a green coconut and a brown coconut,
opening them both up, trying the milk,
and then, of course, trying the meat.
What we've determined from this is that iguanas are awesome,
this is Wilson, and that the green coconut
has delicious milk, not so good on the meat,
and the brown coconut, don't drink the milk,
but eat the meat.
You want some?
I'm Coyote Peterson, be brave,
stay wild, we'll see you on the next adventure.
I named him Wilson because Tom Hanks
named that volleyball Wilson in Cast Away.
I think that's the fitting name for this iguana.
Don't ever leave me, Wilson.
Don't ever leave.
You're my best friend.
Can I have a kiss?
Wilson, no!
Oh, Wilson, no!
I'm sorry, Wilson. (fake crying)
Thought of Tom Hanks.
Thanks for joining us On Location.
