Tennis Lessons


Before Wimbledon is a faint memory.

Now usually you think this guy when you think Wimbledon.

But this year it's all Jakey.





Why?

Well it could be that he's bouncing all over the place trying to cover every shot,

Look out Jakey playing it so close can result in getting caught in the net.

Worm Hole Time Travel

wormhole: A theoretical distortion of space-time in a region of the universe that would link one location or time with another, through a path that is shorter in distance or duration than would otherwise be expected.

And for Jake's version it's a bit more deconstructed.

First there's the "delicacy" of a handpicked fresh very organic worm.

Farm to table ? Please! Jake's done better than that. Try earth to mouth.

And what can you say about Jake and a hole? Sure that you can think of something on your own.

Nothing like the smell of sulfur and dead sheep, mmmm mmm good. Bet Jake couldn't wait to try Sheep a la Wild.
And how did Jake do to prepare for Bear and his wild adventure?

Absolutely nothing.

and the Time Travel?

Source Code will be available on video on demand in the US tomorrow. DVD and Blu-Ray versions of Source Code will be available on July 26th.

Bear in Mind

Was it a play of words about Jake's birthday gift? Did the "gift of discovery" have two meanings?Could the adventure been set up as a gift for one of those big milestone birthdays? Something that would break the Bank(sy) ? Something you couldn't find in the Discovery Store? Maybe after watching the show and saying "how cool would that be" ? Or maybe something on version of a bucket list?Could the Antarctica trip of swimming with the walruses been what it was supposed to be but got change into Icelandic arctic because of scheduling and clearances?Just a thought.



It's Two Wheel Tuesday. Since Austin's only on one,
(someone's been painting in the garage)
we'll go for three and it'll all average out.

Super G's?

While Austin was performing in Santa Monica, Jake at the U2 show in Anaheim on Saturday night. (Both in LA at the same time again for yet another weekend) No cowl but his handy dandy hat and instead of a cape his cloak of invisibility (his black jacket) tied round his waist.

He might not have wanted his cloak of invisibility but bet he was wishing for some superpowers before he stepped on that helicopter with Bear.
And with that here are the Top Ten Plus One of :

Things going through Jake's head before heading out with Bear.

11. There's not crying in baseball wait there's no crying in Iceland.

10. Why does Bear have that rope around his neck?

9. That hook at the this strap better not mean we aren't "landing" the helicopter.

8. I'm glad these pants are waterproof.

7. Please don't make me eat an eyeball. Please don't make me eat an eyeball. Please don't make me eat an eyeball.

6.I like a good free range chicken but not sure I can do free range puffin.

5.Wonder if there is anywhere I can grab a coffee when we get there.

4. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Red Leader One is a go!

3.My face says fierce but my head says flee.

2. OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

and the number one thing going through Jake's mind.

This is all your fault Nic!

Here's some details and pics of Jake and Bear's adventure.

And a teaser picture to get you go look.
Jake and Bear will be kicking of the season of Man vs. Wild July 11th at 9:00pm on the Discovery Channel.

Fire & Ice

Looks like Jake's trekking around with Bear Grylls in Iceland. With most of the population living in only 7% of the island, there's lots of wilderness for Bear to go wild and plenty of places to for them to get in touch with their inner Viking. Not so sure if Jake will be in touch with eating some of the Norse delicacies but the guys may end up be smoking puffins out in the wild.

There's more to Iceland besides Vikings, Bjork and The Sugarcubes. There's Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest ice cap along with the fjords, glaciers, iceberg-filled lagoons, geysers, waterfalls, and chasms. And doesn't remember Eyjafjallajökull, it's just one of 130 volcanoes scattered over Iceland. There is much for Jake to hike and explore. No doubt after it's over Jake will be looking for a warm geothermal pool to soak in and try some Brennivín, Icelandic liquor, known in English as the black death.

While Jake is going wild, Austin is have a little rebel yell of his own.

if you rearrange the name @DeepakChopra you can spell Oprah Peed Cak.

Another little snap by Mr Nichols.

Huh? It is doubtful that he brought out Deepak Chopra out of the blue. Maybe he was watching to see what his co-star said when she was chatting with Craig Ferguson. She did make mention about how she tweeted with Deepak.

Breaking my hand won't stop me tweeting

Gotta love Austin's non sequitur tweets. They always say so more than people think.


About Sidney Lumet. No doubt Austin is a big fan of the man who brought to screen such movies as 12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon and Network. (Who hasn't had their own "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take anymore moment") One thing people might not know about Lumet is that he directed Running on Empty, written by Jake's mom.

Wild Thing

Look what Austin has gotten Jake into.

Just listen to what he tells you to do.
It will be okay remember we've survived the CGI wolves, how bad could it be?
And don't try and impress him with that pee and jellyfish story.
This guys eaten a sheep's heart on camera.

We knew that Austin like watching Bear Grylls from his tweets.

Somebody call bear grylls

You know I could do that. I could be Bear Grylls. You don't scare me.

I am The Wild Turkey. Take that Bear Grylls!
Hey...You're kind of cute in a toothy sort of way.

When Jake went on Letterman to talk about LaOD he joked about Bear.



And we wondered who he knew that watched Bear. Guess we weren't the only ones who noticed. Looks like Mr. Grylls did too.

Bear Grylls has confirmed that Jake will be on a future episode of Man vs Wild.

" 'Jake was just joking [about what it's like to be famous],' Bear told reporters during his recent trip to Sydney. 'He was going, 'Yeah, it's great, I get whatever I want — if I get in trouble in the wild I just call Bear Grylls.'

They had not met at that point but but it wasn't long before Bear called up Jake and invited him to "put his money where his mouth is".

"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you never make jokes about Bear Grylls. The man is hardcore."

Where and when we'll just have to wait and see.

Of course Jake has done Man vs. Wild(Turkey that is). Not sure if that will help this time.

Austin will no doubt Tivo it, like he doesn't already have a season pass for the show, but will he tweet about it? Could he get the chance to see it live as it happens? You never know.

But you know from the looks of it he could be ready for anything too.
