My father grew up in Colorado, and based on what he said, I've always felt that Rocky Mt Oysters are targeted at tourists. Traditionally, they are offered specifically to tourists, and the locals enjoy the reaction when people find out what they are.
Jacob avoiding saying what the Rocky Mountain oysters were and then Jen blurts out “clean testicle club” had me dying lol. A future pin should have Jen’s face on it and that saying. Lol
I run milk tankers between eastern NM and the Denver area quite often. This is making me want to make a little day-off list to compile and go out on the town with👍👍
You're a braver man then I am Jacob, just the thought of Rocky mountain oysters lies frimly in the Nope category for me, although I have a buffalo burgers before. The Buckhorn is supposedly one of the most haunted places in Denver, although I haven't had the opportunity to check it out for myself. Also, Jens reaction to the otters and the stingrays was adorable.
I love aquariums🦈🐡🐠🐟🦀🐚 Jenn,awesome that you were singing Age of Aquarium😂, exactly something I would do🎤🎶😹 Very bold to try Rocky Mountain Oysters,Jacob🤮🤢🐂🍽
I grew up going to this aquarium at a young age. Going again this summer for my 3 year olds birthday! My in laws have never been . Thank you for sharing Jacob and Jenn! Safe travels
A whole video of places I always wanted to go to when I lived in Denver but couldn't afford to visit myself! This video made me SO HAPPY and nostalgic. I'm also really glad Jenn convinced you to try the Rocky Mountain Oysters. I have a hard time eating things with a chewy consistency (like calamari) so I would be afraid to try them for that reason, but it was great to watch you and Jenn try them!
@@karentucker2161 Oysters from the beach are not quite like Rocky Mountain oysters. Those from the beach are slithery (when eaten raw), those from the Rocky Mountains are chewy.
Love the Denver Aquarium! Petting and feeding the Stingrays is always a treat! I also enjoyed the look on both your faces for Rocky Mountain Oysters😂 Good for you both and Brave So enjoy you both and Colorful Colorado is enjoying you!👏Great show
Way to go Jacob and Jenn you tried the Rocky Mountain Oysters I could eat them every day! I lived in Denver for about ten years and never made it to the aquarium so thank you for the tour
The aquarium is great. And, I am very happy that you and Jenn enjoyed the Rocky Mountain oysters and the buffalo steak. Buffalo is one of my favorite meats. Have a wonderful day ❣️
To be truly honest, I find it hard to believe that Jen never went on a field trip to a aquarium, most schools do that, as she was growing up. This is amazing for it to be her first time. 😊
👏👏👏 Kudos to you and Jenn both for consuming Rocky Mountain Oysters. 👏👏👏 Knowing what they are, I could not. Ya'lls dinner does look delicious. 😋 Enjoy! Stay safe, and God bless 🙌
The expression on Jacob's face in the thumbnail is priceless!! J & J, please visit the Niagara Falls (NY) Aquarium before you move away. They have seals and sea lions whose noses beg to be BOOPED! The neighborhood there is dicey, though. Put valuables in the trunk of the car and you'll be all right.
I’m a hard core carpetbagger fan. I just had eye surgery and wanted to get home to watch the latest episode of you and Jenn having fun in Denver. (Well, I’m listening to you anyways) 😅 Now one of my eyes is dark. Black, like a dolls eyes 👀 😂
I've been in Colorado my whole life and have to say you missed out on an opportunity of a lifetime. There is absolutely no place that makes Rocky mountain oysters better than the world-famous Bruce's bar in severance Colorado. Like we say here in Northern Colorado, nobody does balls like Bruce.
Picturing a Gary Larson cartoon where a guy is standing outside that aquarium with a gazelle saying "what do you mean I can't bring in my service animal!?!"
Buckhorn Exchange is delicious. Rocky Mountain Oysters, are very interesting and chewy. My husband trick me in eating them. Have to try them at least once.
You ever noticed every time when your visiting an aquarium & zoo the animals are sleeping and you want to see them awake being active they sleep alot , I loveee going to aquariums and zoos I could be there til they closed 😅😊😁💛💜🧡
That’s interesting, this must be a chain of aquariums,its logo and mascot are identical to the houston downtown aquarium. All my life I never knew lol. This one looks way better, though. Lots more animals and stuff to interact with. I really liked that transparent archway you look up at and see fish overhead!
I grew up on a massive cattle ranch that straddles the Mexican border and rocky mountain oysters are still to this day, not my favorite food. Great video Jake.
As someone who lives in Colorado, I have had Rocky Mountain Oysters just once. They really need the right dipping sauce. Some of the Buckhorn’s taxidermy was from the safari that Theodore Roosevelt went on in Africa. The original owner of the Buckhorn was one of President Roosevelt’s hunting buddies and went with him to Africa.
That's interesting! i have read Theodore Roosevelt's book "Through the Brazilian Wilderness" (yes, i'm aware that Brazil is not in Africa). What a president, such an entrepeneur and adventurer. Do you know the name of his traveling companion in Africa?
@@agerven Henry H. "Shorty Scout" Zietz. Legend has it that in 1905 after coming to Colorado by train (the rail yards were just across the street from the Buckhorn) both Zietz and Roosevelt got to talking and drinking. Later that night, Zietz agreed to be the president's guide and they went up to the mountains to hunt. They remained good hunting buddies and that's how he went to Africa. Zietz was also friends with Buffalo Bill after joining his show at the age of 12. It was Sitting Bull who gave him the name "Shorty Scout". Zietz was such a friend to the Sioux that in 1938 they rode up Osage Street in full battle regalia to ceremoniously turned over to him the saber of General Custer. The family still has the blade today. "Shorty Scout" Zietz has quite a story.
I went to school in Wyoming.... On Fridays the bar at the Holiday Inn would have free rocky mountain oysters during happy hour. That's some gritty meat.
Cool aquarium! Hey I really liked your video at the enchanted forest in Washington a while back .. when you make it back up to Washington make sure to go to the Seattle aquarium. Also near by the ye old curiosity shop has cool stuff, mummies etc.. I’ve eaten a lot of odd food but balls? No.. soup looked good.
Both the aquarium and the restaurant look fabulous. i guess you'll need a reservation for the restaurant. Jacob's additional vague comments on the rocky mountain oysters stimulated by brain too with some unusual creepy thoughts. Especially since it comes from a bull, especially since it is so good and allright on the culinary aspect of it ... Although the shape of it, so flat, contradicts my suspicions. Let's leave it at that, since some children and folk that have more class than myself may be watching/reading. i'd go for a less culinary style and try a nice little piece of elk. Glad you posted this and your previous Denver videos. They show a visit there would be very worthwhile and satisfying. Hope you two enjoy your time there. Don't haste, keep safe and bless you.
Well I live in KS and married into a farming family. When my brother in law and his new wife got married they had a BBQ and mountain oyster fry. I had been married to my husband for 1.5 years but I got chased down by him, his dad, brother, cousins, aunts, and they told me they loved me but I am not really a true member of the family until I ate a mountain oyster. So I did and as long as they are sliced thin and fried they are pretty good.
"It's messing with my mind!" Yeah, I think I get it. In the late aughties, one of my roommates was a chef student. He liked to try new things. One day we had ostrich burgers. "Yeah, good burger," I said. "No big deal." I finished half the burger and then suddenly, it became a big deal. I did not end up a member of the clean plate club that evening.
