If Brandon doesn't make it back from the shoot today, you'll probably know who
0:11
who murdered him. 7:10 sharp apparently means 7:15.
0:16
We're heading over to the island for a shoot today. I realized I did not have
0:21
time to make myself a burger, so I had a banana.
0:24
I realized I didn't have time to make things, so I left. We should totally
0:29
film like a we're on a boat thing for behind the scenes when we're on the
0:32
boat. It would actually be kind of funny. We probably shouldn't do that.
0:38
Probably going to get kicked off the boat. And when you get kicked off a boat, you die. So, they stop selling
0:43
tickets 10 minutes before boarding. And we are getting to the terminal 12
0:47
minutes before boarding time or departure time, not boarding time, which
0:51
is different apparently. So, uh, everyone's been stressing me out this
0:55
morning by by, uh, by not having us be
1:00
at the terminal with time to spare. We've never been to this terminal before, so we don't really even know
1:03
where to buy tickets. It's a good day. So, ticket
1:08
sales end 15 minutes prior to sailing.
1:11
It is uh, whatever time it is right now. I can
1:16
look at my other my other phone that also has a time piece on it. So, it's
1:21
8:17, which you guys can't see at all, but the point is I got my tickets at
1:25
8:15. Walked up to the counter as they were saying, last call for Nimo. So, we
1:30
got this. And we didn't even speed on the way here. This is what I love. This
1:34
is the urgency of like being in a
1:40
hurry. Sure, they actually used a special technology to make your waffles
1:44
cold immediately after they came off of the waffle iron. Like maybe they
1:48
actually use like I'm not convinced they use a like a cold cook.
1:53
They're scared of getting sued like McDonald's. So they just have everything
1:56
instantly go to cold. Yeah. Well, apparently there are uh orcas on the
2:01
starboard side, which we all think might
2:04
be this side. That might be the the other side.
2:10
But we don't see them. This should be right then. Unless we're going backwards. We could be. We could be
2:16
going backwards. I wouldn't know the difference. Okay. Well, we can show off
2:19
the the van that you could go sit in the front we've got here. And apparently
2:24
everyone's really cozy back there. Don't want to don't want to move. No, no, no,
2:28
no. That's okay. Don't get Don't get up. I'm just going to I don't know how to get up. No, I'm going to start race to
2:33
the front. Start the car. Yeah. Sorry. Got to go. Got to go.
2:38
Oh, it's not a door. No. Really? Yeah.
2:42
Oh, okay. All right. Off we go. So, it's time to
2:46
move the uh the car here. So, I guess I'll put it in
2:52
reverse. Nope. Nope. Nope.
2:55
No. Ah, right
2:59
there. That's it. That makes
3:03
sense. So, my whole thought was we should do a Linus Media Group camping
3:07
trip based on like how awesome this place is. We're at Living Forest
3:11
Campground incidentally. And uh we asked
3:15
uh vanventures.ca, so might as well, you
3:19
know, give them give them sort of whole,
3:22
you know, pimp out thing here to basically, you know, put camping stuff
3:28
in the van. We didn't really give much clarification cuz we're not actually camping. We're just setting up a fake
3:32
campsite. And uh so he you know came up with some chairs and tents and you know
3:38
cookware and like a small tent. Yeah. You know a whatever those are called.
3:44
This place is
3:48
gorgeous. Beautiful. How many Linus
3:51
Media Group employees does it take to uh pitch a tent?
3:55
Trick question. They can all do it at the same time cuz it's a train reaction.
4:00
Oh no. aches near our campsite, which makes
4:05
sense because it's nature. I don't know if you can see it. It's camouflaged
4:09
really well. There's another one over here that had a red stripe on it. That
4:13
means safety. Red and yellow markings for
4:18
safety, right?
4:26
Red on yellow.
4:32
Is it? I'm trying to get a rock right now in case anyone's wondering what I'm
4:37
doing. Everyone's of course helping me by providing moral support. You're the
4:41
one wearing the camping shirt. That's true. You'll be okay. Got my camping
4:45
shirt on here. Oh, there's a snake on the rock. No, there isn't. I was going
4:50
to toss this rope at you in case you need it. Covert behind the
4:56
scenes. The [ __ ] is that?
5:00
Yeah, but it
5:05
doesn't wing. What is this?
5:11
Could I ask you? You look pretty
5:15
like right now. I do making my face here. Oh, you got some on your eye or
5:21
eyelid eye something, but not your actual eye. Scenes. It's my big uh It's
5:26
my big tent scene here. Got my uh your
5:30
face. Yeah. Got my uh crying because I
5:34
was watching a real sad movie. Am I getting myself? Yeah. So, we're we're
5:38
gonna get
5:41
chin down a bit.
5:45
So, yeah. It's a really good thing that they clarify this because uh I wasn't
5:49
quite sure if this was a fry pan or not.
5:53
Yeah. So, they they made sure that I knew that it's fry pan number eight.
5:56
Yeah. Number eight. Yeah, like there's eight of them. Yes, exactly. Eight fry
6:00
pans were made in Canada. I think GSW is probably the company. Not
6:05
made in Canada. Well, made in Canada. I said were made in Canada. Ah, yes.
6:09
Because Canadian and North American for that matter manufacturing is dead. Yeah,
6:14
there was eight of them. This behind the scenes is full of social commentary.
6:18
There was a test run and they're like, "Wow, that costs a lot of money. Let's
6:22
not do that." Oh, can we start a fire now? The first Linus Media Group
6:26
campfire.
6:30
Good job. The match is like not on.
6:34
Yeah. Oh, the toilet paper's on fire. That's all that matters. Yeah. I don't
6:39
really stick my hand in there.
6:43
Wow. Just wow. Like I don't think it's
6:46
going to light. You have to light the bottom. Don't Don't blow it out.
6:53
It's still on fire.
7:01
You're not lighting the bottom either. I know. I should fire you both.
7:09
There we go. That wasn't letting go of the match right away. Is how it's done.
7:13
Sort of. I don't think this is going to light.
7:18
No. No. Don't do that. That's That is not how you light kindling.
7:23
Have you ever lit a fire? It was fire.
7:28
So, we're dropping off our uh our tinted scary van with the uh tear stains in the
7:33
back. No, just kidding. It was great. And uh this is interesting.
7:39
It's hot. This is covering my head from the sun. And B-roll turns into a Sith
7:44
Lord. All right. So, we actually told the
7:48
cabbie the wrong spot. But we told the cab like the other end of the street. So, I'm going to go drop off the keys
7:52
while we move our junk cuz I don't want the cab to like leave and us to not get
7:55
on the boat. Well, we could wave at him.
8:14
Heat. Heat.
