Thanks for posting that. It would be quite interesting to hear what he had to say. However between the audio quality and my hearing, I mostly heard the crowd hoot and laugh. I would like to see this with subtext or even a transcription. My hearing's failing, not yours or his.:thumbup:
Part one.
Its not perfect. Some things I couldnt hear so some of its missing.
Bold text is what cody says
Anything inside ( ) is what I say.
Give me a break...I transcribed this live while listening to it. I know I messed some stuff up.
==========================
He says thanks to people. no one in particular.
Mentions a car in the parking lot with its headlights on and gives th license #, says "do not do that in the woods."
Where is the dugout canoe?
"The dugout canoe is probably a planter in someones yard. so, um, yea, that sucked."
How much do you bench?
"i dont know, its how you lift, not what you lift."
Something about calories and how many he comsumes. cody doesnt answer this question, he asks people to use the microphone so everyone can hear the question.
How long have you had your bear claws?(his necklace)
"these are mountain lion and they were given to me by a friend and ive been wearing them for about 4 years straight."
In your book you said its bad to eat ice in a cold environment. What about if youre in a desert environment?
"if you have ice in a desert environment, I want to go the that desert. youre home, the coolers there, you just have a real bad buzz...so, i mean think about that. hyperthermia is what kills you in a desert, a high body temp, and you have ice that shouldnt be an issue, or you have a cooler right here and a beautiful woman right there"
Some people are addicted to eating ice,(WTF?!?! addicted) and if theyre in any other enviroments, like not so cold, would it risk hypothermia(thats what I believe he said, but he may have said hyper) or anything like that?
"yea, if you eat ice you can drop your core body temp, alot of ice, and if youre an ice addict, theres probably something on google, but you definetely drop your core temp eating ice, but "i dont know" but... dont eat ice, quit eating ice. next question"
out of all your survival movies, which was the hardest one?
"peru, because I was very sick in peru and i cant get into too many details about that and eventhough it is a tv show, while youre puking sucks. so, that was the worst for me"
How many days did it take to make this episode? like three days were the time we watched, but it was longer than that?
"it was longer than that and theres certain things i can say and things i cant. but its longer than 3 days to produce that shows. it takes us longer than 3 days to get it done. you have to remember theres a lot of logistical stuff you dont see. you know for certain angles, the helicopter cant make it cause theres a blizzard or something like that so theres all this things that you know compromise the mission.
Why are you always barefoot?
"just to make people ask that question. I like to stay barefoot cause thats one of the things they did to p.o.w.s, when took there shoes when they were prisoners, I like to be in contact with earth. I do wear sandals when I need to cause of choya cactus or ground temps or certain restaurants that dont appreciate me walking around barefoot. But fries is great, home depot is great. the managers have all approved me going barefoot and i will patronize them forever.
Is there anything in the wild you wouldnt eat?
"this is a tv show, so theres alot of young impressionable minds out here. one of the nastiest things you can do in a survival situation is eat weird stuff. Tv likes that cause tv doesnt like to have the truth. so i want to go out there and regulate my core body temp with clothes and water. in a typical 3 day survival scenario, or 72 hours, where theyll find you dead or alive. A statistical search and rescue scenario here in arizona you dont really need to eat. Ill share with you a secret, look at this(grabs his belly), theres plenty of stuff here for 2-3 days, so what you put in your mouth can really hurt you. Ive had it happen to me, I dont want to to happen to you. To hell with tv. Ok?"
what does scorpion taste like?
"hrmm, some of it tastes like a big booger. Now, im not a big booger eater. I never have. its a snotty kinda slimy kinda gross stuff we did just to piss dave off."
What about rattlesnake?
"rattlesnake was good. everything tastes like chicken. it was good"
How do you feel about the boy scout group, of, of, getting ready for survival?
" I think training kids of any age, of any gender, should be mandatory. So, I have respect for the scouts, anyone who trains in the lost arts, which just a few generations ago. when I have older folks in my audience doing lectures, they would say "hey cody, when I was in school id take a knife to recess when I went to school when I was a little boy". I said "whys that". "we were supposed to be whitteling then" "Dont take your knife to school now(speaking to the little boy who asked the question) , im not saying that. but you can see how the mindset changed." the older folks know what im talking about. were loosing a basic skill set and it troubles me, you know, cause as soon as that electric grid goes down, the power turns off youll see whats really going on. So the scouts i think are really helping turn that around, they always have, by getting down and dirty with skills that matter"
What was your most favorite challenge youve ever done?
"on the show?" yea.
"I think youre going to stump me. well trying to keep up with the schedule was very challenging. I know thats a boring answer. we shot from late december with a few breaks, up till june. I do this for a living, im not a tv guy, im a survival instructor, thats my profession for over 20 years. so I had to keep my courses going while filming and that was hard on the body. Im romantic, i know. sorry"
What was your scariest moment on camera? off camera? and are you signed up for season 2?
"rapelling, i dont like rapelling, i dont like the feeling of my body falling, thats unnatural that simulates death. I dont like it. I like this.(stomps ground with feet) so that was freaky for me to do the rapelling in new zealand and theres rumors of that but nothings been confirmed of season 2 ive signed nothing. im a free man at this point."
"Why did dave come up with flipping the canoe over and making it into a raft?
"why did he come up with that..." (motions his hand like "get out of here") "has dave paid you to come to this event?" "because daves a really smart guy, so he got that idea"
Was your last adventure more fun or scary?
"my last adventure was more fun cause I love brazil, I love brazillian woman, theyre... that was an adventure, going to airport with all these beautiful women. the birds the caiman its a very pretty county, ive always wanted to go there, but i was really excited cause the show was over. at that point I was very tired."
did a predator ever approch your camp?
"you talking about dave?" no, like a jaguar or a snake?
"no, the production company gets there before us in some locations and they saw a jaguar out in the bush but we never saw one. theres some people involved in this you dont see on camera. ok? so, were making noise and were not very attractive to jaguars when theres more than just the 2 of us. they did see one and i wish I could have seen one but i did not."
Since youre not wearing shoes, do you get bit by bugs and stuff more?
"yea. I get bit by bugs and I have a splinter with a weird pusy thing on my foot right now. yea, my feet are rough. so I get bit by bugs alot."
Why do you have your hair in a ponytail?(i swear, some of these ?'s are lame)
"dave likes to pull on them."
Whats the most disgusting thing youve ever eaten on the show?
"there was a nasty worm I ate in new zealand, but worms arent delicious. I dont know, ive eaten some nasty stuff. highschool lunches, different airport foods, organic produce out in the wilderness is a step above some of this stuff.
