I'm Dan and today I am here on the beautiful island

This place is in the middle of the ocean.

If you don't know where it is, you're not alone.

I didn't know until I had to look on a map.

Halfway across the world from where I'm from.

Today I'm going to head out and see if I can find

that I can take back home to show Lincoln something unique

K we're here in this little town called Manilow

and they have an open market every Wednesday night

and they have all kinds of stuff for sale, all kinds of food

so I thought this would be a great place to come to

to try to find something and we found something great.

We have coconuts, and these aren't regular coconuts,

these are older ones that have dried out.

And then they have this little girl that paints on them

and she paints Guam and then this white area is unique

and then put some stamps on it and this will ship

You can't take a coconut with you on the airplane,

so I'm gonna buy one of these, ship it home,

and not tell the kids and wait 'til they just get

a random coconut in the mail and we'll cut this thing open.

It only took about a week and a half but we got our coconut

all the way from Guam to our home in the United States.

There's a lot of people that live in parts of the world

where coconuts are very common, but Lincoln,

have you ever seen a coconut opened before?

- Yeah, never seen one opened so I'd imagine

It does look like there's a little hole drilled right there,

so I wonder if they drilled a hole to get some

There you go, there's some rotten coconut.

(laughs) That's what's inside. - [Lincoln] Yeah!

and then you have this really soft thread-type material

and then you have this coconut layer right here.

This one's really nasty; in fact this ball of coconut

was rolling around in the other one, so crazy.

And then usually, coconut milk is inside of here;

and so a lot of people will cut open the top,

All you Polynesian subscribers out there that are really

good at cutting open coconuts, sorry it was such

an American way of cutting open a coconut

and whatever this tool is, a chisel thing.

Yeah I think this is actually a painting tool

(laughs) that I use. - [Lincoln] A painting tool?

There's a million ways to cut open a coconut,

that nobody has probably ever done before.

- That's what's inside of a disgusting coconut.

- That's what's inside of a rotten coconut from Guam.

I mean this thing was painted on, it was for display

in that little shop for who knows how long,

Thanks so much for watching another global edition

This coconut came a long way and it was interesting.

So now next time hopefully someday we'll be able

to take a nice trip to Hawaii or somewhere beautiful

and we can have somebody cut open a fresh coconut

- I think there'll be a slight delicious difference.
