- Holy crap, its so tiny!
- [Brian] I know its so small.
- Oh my gosh!
- Oh my gosh, this is awesome.
Oh my gosh.
(smooth music)
- Hey, good morning everybody, and welcome to the vlog.
I started this adventure at Gator Land,
and I am ending this adventure at Gator Land.
Actually, getting on the road today as you guys know,
about five hours from here I am going to be picking up
my new animal for the reptile zoo I own.
I'm so excited about it, but we are just gonna
hang out for just a minute, feed a couple gators
so that I can keep this in my mind
while I travel this next five hours to get that animal.
Then I still have another fifteen hours
after that before we get home.
I think we're gonna start out with Paul Cuffaro,
feeding some big crocodiles and alligators here.
Should be pretty fun.
What do you say we have an amazing day?
We have a long day ahead of us, but its gonna be amazing.
- Lyle get up here!
(kissing sound)
Lyle!
Come on Lyle! Big Boy!
Come on Lyle! Come on Lyle!
There you go, there you go.
(kissing sound)
Let's go Lyle.
Lyle head up, good boy.
- [Man's Voice] Is this not terrifying?
(laughing)
- [Brian] Paul, what do you think man?
- I'm pretty sketched out.
He's hissing at me too.
- [Brian] You're fine, you're fine.
- [Umpire's Voice] Strike One!
Strike Two!
- [Brian] Now just pick it up so you can give it to him.
(laughing)
- [Paul] Dude look at that. - [Brian] Here we go Lyle.
- They pick it up like its a
little piece of food for a human.
- [Savannah] That's the equivalent
to one potato chip. - I'll tell you what
that is a big crocodile.
Of course Lyle is a big Nile crocodile
and absolutely incredible.
- [Umpire's Voice] Strike three, you're out!
- [Paul] Sorry, Lyle.
- I love this, this is so amazing.
With all that said guys I am getting on the road.
I am gonna say goodbye to Savannah.
We've had an amazing adventure the last little bit.
- I have had so much fun, Brian, and Laurie I miss you guys.
I wish you were here. - I know.
Next time, Laurie's gotta come along.
Regardless, I am getting on the road.
About five hours away, I am gonna reveal
what animal I've been talking about for the last week.
So, what do you say we get in the car
and make it an amazing drive.
- Been on the road for about an hour and half or so now.
Drove out of that rainy, gloominess
into beautiful sunny skies, absolutely excited.
Just a few hours away from meeting up with my buddy.
A guy named Dane reached out to me
and had this special animal that I'm about to go pick up.
He knew that I would really want it, and he said,
"Hey, listen we would love to donate this to the zoo."
Basically what it was, is someone else had it,
they had to talk them into it.
He did a lot of work in trying to
convince them to donate it to the zoo.
Of course as soon as I found out that it was gonna happen,
I was like, "I will drive down there and pick it up."
And that's really the main reason why I drove
down to Florida rather than flying down,
was cause I knew I was gonna pick this particular animal up.
And I'm sorry that I keep teasing you guys
with what this animal is.
Listen just in a few short minutes here in the vlog,
you're gonna actually see the animal for the first time.
I'm gonna see the animal for the first time,
other than pictures.
I am excited about this.
I think you'll understand what
I'm talking about when we get there.
As for now we just have a little bit longer to go,
and I'm just gonna enjoy this beautiful day.
- As you guys know Brian is on a trip
and he is off to get a new animal for the Reptarium.
I'm not gonna lie, I did know about this.
I did give him a thumbs up for it.
So he's not in the dog house.
I'm actually pretty excited about it.
I think all of us here are as well.
Eric, what do you think?
- First of all, I had no idea he was getting a new animal.
I hope its a sloth, a little sloth
that's climbing around here.
- It will not be a sloth.
- I can guarantee you that. - Awe that's a real shame.
That's a real shame.
- [Laurie] So are you gonna be excited?
No matter what it is? - I still am regardless.
No matter what it is.
- [Laurie] You like all animals so you're ok
- I love 'em, I love 'em.
- Alright I can guarantee you it will not be a sloth.
- [Eric] No, boo.
(laughing)
- But, you'll just have to wait and see what it is.
(smooth music)
- We are literally like ten miles away
from the shop that we're gonna meet to get this new animal.
The sun is going down, and it is about the end of the day.
I'm gonna try to pick this animal up,
maybe look around the pet shop for a minute,
and then I'm gonna see if I can drive
another couple hours tonight, get some editing done,
get maybe a couple hours of sleep,
get on the road and get home so
I can get this animal all set up.
So, woo, I am very excited.
This entire process has been
going on for six or eight weeks.
So to think that I'm just ten minutes away
from finally seeing it, is pretty darn exciting.
Alright, guys we are here and again,
we're going into this pet store, Mr. Toad's Depot.
Sounds like a cool place to me.
So we are heading in and we're gonna
see what is going on here.
Hello, hey what happening how are you man.
- I'm Dane.
- [Brian] Awe Dane, its good to meet ya.
- Good to meet you. - [Brian] Hi guys.
How you doin, hi.
Oh my god, thank you guys so much.
Hi, oh, hi. - Hi, I'm Trish Brown.
It's nice to meet you.
- [Brian] And here is the little thing.
Okay guys, you are about to see
what all the fuss has been about.
I haven't mentioned what it actually is.
So this is the first time that you guys
are gonna get a chance to see what it actually is.
You ready?
(lid crackling)
Oh, what could it be?
Oh my gosh, look at that, holy moly.
Lookit guys, that's right it is a two-headed turtle.
So basically, what was the story?
- A friend of hers, found it in a flower bed,
she was out in the yard.
And they, we didn't know about it,
they put it in on Facebook and then she found it.
I've been watching your vlog and I know about Rick and Morty
and I was like, then I reached out to you,
then she reached out to him, and we kinda all got together.
- Well listen I can't thank you guys enough.
So that's basically what happened.
These guys helped me out as soon as they saw
that there was a two-headed turtle.
They knew the story about what happened with Rick and Morty,
so they reached out to me, and it took a while
for you guys to work it out to where
they were able to give it to me.
So we have a two-headed turtle now guys.
Its small, its got a little bit of an issue,
so we're not a hundred percent sure
but lets hope its doing well, you said its eating well,
doing good for you guys? - [Trish] Yes.
- She has brought it back from the brink.
I mean, she done a lot of hard work and uh.
- Oh my gosh, and I know your gonna miss it,
- Yes, yes. - [Dane] Oh ya, yes definitely
- I'm so sorry, I know you got attached to it.
I promise I'll take care of it.
There it is guys a two-headed turtle.
You guys are amazing.
Thank you, thank you guys so much for everything.
You guys are awesome too.
So let me know in the comments what you think: two things.
Number one: should we call it Rick and Morty 2.0,
another name, go ahead in the comments
let me know what you think.
This is amazing.
I'm gonna just uh, check this turtle out a bit more.
- Okay guys, well the cats out of the bag,
and how amazing is it that the animal
is a new two-headed turtle!
- No way! Oh my gosh, I should have guessed!
No way really?
- Yes, yes really, yes. - Oh that's so cool.
That is so cool.
- We were so excited when this person offered it to us,
and when we saw the picture, and its amazing, so yes.
- That's so cool, is it a baby?
- Yep, its a baby. - Oh my god, I'm in love.
- Same size as when we first got Rick and Morty.
- Yes awesome, I am so excited, yes!
- Yeah, well so am I, like I said,
that was something that was near and dear to our hearts so,
I'm so glad that we get another one, and yeah, surprise!
- You just can't go wrong with a two-headed turtle.
You can't go wrong. - No, no, you can't.
- Yes!
- Gonna just take a real quick tour
of their shop before I hit the road.
Its a long drive ahead, so I'm not exactly
that excited to sit in that seat again.
In the mean time, look at this there's a Pastel Clown.
Its a male for three hundred bucks in a pet shop.
That's pretty awesome.
Just got an Orange Dream, what, a Fire Pinstripe.
What is going on here.
There's a White Diamond, a Leucistic Ball Python in here.
An Ivory Ball Python.
What is going on, the pet shops here
in Georgia are pretty darn nice, I tell you what.
Oh my gosh, got a bunch of Bearded Dragons,
really pretty little guys here.
Really nice set-ups, got a little White's Tree Frog
an Amazon Milk Frog, Blue Tree Frog, Crested Geckos.
Man, I tell you what, this is legit man, oh my gosh.
To see some of these mutation Ball Pythons, they're cool.
Let's just take a look at the fish really quick.
I know we got to get on the road relatively quick because
I've got to get as many hours behind me
but I wanna at least take a look.
This is where I need Paul Cuffaro,
because I don't know anything about fish.
That's for sure, but oh, we saw some of these.
These are cool.
I've seen those.
That's an angel fish.
That's awesome, I tell ya, ya know, a lot of you guys
may not know, but I used to go around to pet shops
like almost everyday when I was
like in my teens and early twenties.
I love pet shops, so this is actually pretty cool,
to just kind of walk around and see what's going on.
What an awesome little place.
I still can't believe that they have
all those cool Ball Pythons.
Oh my god.
- [Woman] So hold him, open fly hand.
- [Brian] Here you go bud, here ya go, step up, step up.
- [Woman] Go see him, crazy bird.
- Step up, there you go.
Oh my gosh, this is awesome.
Oh my gosh, I didn't expect this.
I literally saw him out of the corner of my eye.
I'm like, "What in the world."
Of course these guys are fruit eaters.
That's the only downside to Tucans, is that typically,
when you have a bird that's a fruit eater
they're a little bit messy.
Other than that they're great animals.
You can see how unbelievably docile it is.
And absolutely incredible, so uh.
Wow, that was a big treat, oh my, there ya go buddy.
We'll see you later, okay, okay step off.
Step off, there ya go bud.
And again guys, I can't thank you enough,
seriously for not only ya know, getting the animal
but you caring for it so much.
I know its really difficult you can tell
how much she cares about it.
You're like all gettin teared up so,
I promise you I will do everything I can possibly do
to keep this guy happy, healthy, all that stuff.
You're comin to visit me soon.
- Yes. - Oh yeah.
- You gotta come up and see him, I swear to gosh.
- And by the way guys the name is,
- Bert and Ernie.
- Bert and Ernie, so there you go.
Let me know if you like Bert and Ernie.
She named it, she's been caring for it,
keeping it alive so I have to keep it Bert and Ernie.
So, let me know if you guys like that okay.
As for now, on the road, twelve hours 'til we get home.
Last hotel room of the night.
Just a quick little sleep before I get on the road
and get Bert and Ernie back home.
So where they can get settled in.
I'm gonna put them in some warm water,
get them some food, get a few hours of sleep,
and then back on the road.
I think I still have about ten
or eleven hours of driving tomorrow.
Okay, see you in the morning.
And its a little after six o'clock in the morning.
The early bird gets the worm.
We've got a bit of a drive today.
I'm gonna get Bert and Ernie,
pack my stuff up, get on the road.
I'm excited to get home and show Laurie
my new acquisition: Bert and Ernie.
Oh my god, its gonna be so amazing.
What do you say we pack up and get out of here,
and head back to the Reptarium.
(smooth music)
What an absolutely gorgeous day.
The Appalachian Mountains are
really pretty to drive through.
It's been a while since I've driven through 'em,
and in beautiful day like this, I'm absolutely lovin it.
Driving gives me the opportunity to kinda think
about all the things that I want to do,
and when I'm busy, like I always am,
doing animal stuff and working at the Reptarium,
and BHB and all that stuff, sometimes
its harder for me to kinda hash those ideas out
so I'm actually enjoying this beautiful day
and this amazing drive.
But hey, we're about five hours from home.
(smooth music)
Back in Michigan, that means I'm only about an hour away.
It's definitely been a long drive.
I mean, I'm not gonna lie, twenty hours in a car
is a long way to go, but I'm still full of energy,
just excited, can't wait to show Bert and Ernie to Laurie.
I know she's pretty excited too.
By the time I get there it's gonna be a little late
so the rest of the crews gone.
They'll have to see them tomorrow.
But again, just one hour until I'm home.
And woo doggy, I made it back to the Reptarium.
I am a little bit tired, I'm not gonna lie to you,
but oh my gosh, its crazy I walked in
and almost didn't look familiar.
I was only gone like eight days but I was like,
"Wow the place looks really cool."
I tell you what, its awesome to be back.
And look at here, look at Lucy over here.
Lucy is up on her ledge, which means she shed out.
I'm gonna have to talk to Laurie because if she sheds,
that means they had to clean the cage, so I'll find out.
Hopefully, they filmed it and I can it either
in today's vlog or tomorrows vlog or something like that.
But, wow, Lucy looks absolutely incredible.
Let's go ahead and find Laurie,
cause I cannot wait to show her Bert and Ernie.
There you are, Bert and Ernie!
- Oh my goodness, holy crap it's so tiny!
- [Brian] I know it's so small.
- Oh my gosh, I was not expecting that.
Oh my goodness.
- [Brian] Aren't they cute?
- Wow.
(laughing)
- Oh my goodness, so tiny.
- [Brian] I know they are tiny.
But they're cute aren't they.
- It is, adorable.
Its little shell almost looks like a heart.
- [Brian] I know, it's definitely got
a weird shape to the shell.
It's not nearly as symmetrical as Rick and Morty was.
- Are they the same kind?
- [Brian] This is actually a Yellow-Bellied Slider,
- Or a Red-Eared Slider. - Oh okay, I thought.
Okay, I thought it was gonna be the same
but I thought the same thing, this looks much more yellow.
- [Brian] Yeah, lots more yellow to it.
- Oh my goodness, ahhh.
- [Brian] Pretty cool, huh?
- Very cool, they're so cute!
- And I think what we're gonna do is,
we're gonna set them up in a small kinda quarantined tank,
just for maybe a week or so,
so that we can really keep an eye on them.
Make sure the food is really good,
and then we'll eventually move it up
into the Reptarium here, in a week or two
or something like that, we'll see how it goes.
Regardless, I am happy to be home.
I'm happy to see Laurie.
We actually have an event here in about a half hour.
The Science Olympiad, with some kids.
So that's really the reason I wanted to rush
right over here, so I can actually
give the tour here to the Science Olympiad.
Which is a bunch of kids learning about reptiles.
Which I think is gonna be absolutely incredible.
But as for now, I think I'm gonna go ahead
and just end the vlog.
That way I can get done with this
event and go home, get some rest.
I am tired, it was a long drive,
and crazy eight or nine days or whatever we were gone.
Thank you guys so much for joining me on this adventure.
I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did.
