- Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Dan and today I am here on the beautiful island
of Guam.
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
some things to cut open here in Guam
that I can take back home to show Lincoln something unique
from Guam but then also to cut it open
and see what's inside of it.
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
because you can write an address on here
and then put some stamps on it and this will ship
in the US mail.
You can't take a coconut with you on the airplane,
but you can ship it for some reason.
I don't know why, but it's cool,
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?
- I've never seen a coconut opened.
- Yeah, never seen one opened so I'd imagine
there's other people that haven't.
And this one's a little older.
It's not gonna be a fresh one.
It does look like there's a little hole drilled right there,
so I wonder if they drilled a hole to get some
of the liquid out of it.
Well let's get to the business.
(coconut hitting table) - Let's do this.
- Cut this thing open!
(electronic atmospheric music)
- Oh my.
(hammer banging)
We're so close.
- Time to break it open.
(coconut splitting)
(laughs)
There you go, there's some rotten coconut.
(laughs) That's what's inside. - [Lincoln] Yeah!
Ooh! Tastes nasty!
That stinks!
Ooh!
Rotten coconut! (laughs)
So if you look inside of the coconut,
you have the hard outer layer shell
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.
It stinks really bad.
And then usually, coconut milk is inside of here;
and so a lot of people will cut open the top,
cut a hole in it, put a straw in it,
and then they can just drink out of it.
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
with the rubber mallet
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?
- Yeah, but you know what?
There's a million ways to cut open a coconut,
and we just did one of 'em
that nobody has probably ever done before.
- Probably.
- That's what's inside of a disgusting coconut.
- Add rotten to the coconut part.
- That's what's inside of a rotten coconut from Guam.
But what do you expect?
I mean this thing was painted on, it was for display
in that little shop for who knows how long,
maybe months, maybe years.
Thanks so much for watching another global edition
of What's Inside.
We had a lot of fun.
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
and Lincoln can smell the difference
and see what's inside of a--
- I think there'll be a slight delicious difference.
- Yeah.

Add some comments of other things you think
we should cut open and we appreciate you watching.
