Hollywood's Quicksand Fetish on VICE video. Starring Dave, Nessie & Fred. I found this fascinating and a new appreciation to all the film makers efforts. (from 2015 - so apologies if this has been posted here before) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcvH4T_qzE0

I go back and look at it again on occasion. There were a lot of highlights but one of the best is the look that Nessie gives Jed when he says he brought hand warmers.

I can't recall if I've ever posted these before but if so I'll do it again. Jed tried sinking himself under the expert guidance of ladies present at the moment. There were some really cute moments that I hoped would make it into the final cut but this bit didn't. The ladies had a ball with it. Jed was wearing a pair of steel toed boots he borrowed while stomping around the swamp and that didn't make it easier for him.

The rest. My favorite is all the ladies reacting at once and showing Jed the well practiced art of clearing his ears.

VICE was here in October, which was WAY too late for there to be any actresses present.

I was not overly pleased with the result.

I got to admit that Jed was a far cry from Stephani. What would have been the coolest possible segment would have been VICE talking to Brinke about all this.

EDIT - Looking back they were at Camp MPV on Sept 24, 2014.

This may reveal something VICE may not like much but I will do so anyway. One of the things they insisted on doing while at Studio 588 was to actually film a scene. The scene they filmed, mostly directed by myself even though I thought it was idiotic, was a sort of re-enactment of the famous Hidden Jungle scene,.... with Jed playing the role of the sinkee. None of that made the final cut, of course. This is a case of a quicksand scene getting cut out of a production... for very good reason.

You think he got to you too late? He went from you to me. Like, I don't say where I am exactly to protect my mudpits -- but he had to fly north a longggg way to get to me.

You can see the fall colors in the footage that was shot at my location.

Fortunately he was visiting me, the woman who used to film OctobRRR, NovemBRRR and DecembRRR clips of myself sinking in icy quicksand in waders with winter layers underneath just to wow you-all out. I got him into the mire, all righty, but he had to visit a sporting-goods store and buy his waders so he didn't freeze to death and then I had instructions on what he was to wear underneath. As for the weather, we just plain got lucky. It could have been pretty bad.

I too had a scene shot that I wish had not been cut because it was too hilarious.

We got to my "base of operations" (Nessie's favorite tree) and the leaves on the trees were going and the plants that usually hid me well were dying. And it's not that far from a trail. Our cameraman started freaking out, saying people could see us -- and he was really worried about us getting into trouble of some kind -- "Jedd, we can't do this"...and I couldn't figure out what this guy's problem was.

Turned out, Jedd had thought that you got TOTALLY NAKED to change into the winter sinking gear and he had told the camera guy this. So the camera guy thought that Nessie's Tree was too close to the trail and that we'd get busted.

No, that's not how it works, and I had thought I'd been totally clear on it in my email.

Except, it did work that way for Jedd only that day, because he had packed a total change of clothing and didn't want to go into the mudpit in the clothes he was wearing but in the clothes he didn't mind dirtying.

So he did change clothes in the weeds. And I did not. I just put the waders on over what I had on already. (How did he ever think anything else?)

I averted my eyes, so it's possible he didn't get totally naked. But I kept laughing.

Nessie

I am glad they DID cut the scene shot here. Between Jed's rather heavy beard and ridiculous falsetto voice it would have been unwatchable.

Girls with beards have always been a problem for you.

I'd like to hear how Nessie feels but the ladies at Camp MPV thought Jed was pretty cute or something like that. I thought Annabelle was going to jump on him in the bog.
