Hopefully Craig will ask him where the hell that ukulele in tonight’s episode came from! laugh

The whole interview lasted less than 5 minutes. Nothing really exciting, to be honest.

I tried to stay up for it, but I was pretty wore out, and I managed to watch the Amazon rain forest and most of the African episodes before I passed out. Wish I hadn't missed the Uke one.

Who else was shocked when he whipped out his harmonica and cannibalized it? shocked And I still wanna know where that ukulele came from! laugh

Les has redone his website. Sadly he dropped the forum. There were some interesting folks there. If anyone knows any please invite them here.

I just had a good several minutes of laughter from that! laugh Thank you so much.

It’s just kind of sad that Bear Grylls has to be the one to take the brunt of all this crap, especially since there’s a pretty darn good chance that he’s not the one that orchestrates all of this BS. It is the producers and people in charge of the show’s creation and “scripts” that should be hung out to dry.

P.S.: Here’s a nice comparison of the two shows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j_LkdCt2P8. I couldn’t have put it better myself.
