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.
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👍👍
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 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
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.
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.
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
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🤮🤢🐂🍽
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. 😊
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
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 ❣️
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'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.
👏👏👏 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 🙌

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.
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.
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’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 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.
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.
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 😅😊😁💛💜🧡
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.
"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.

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.

Didn't think they were famous for anything except bluecifur....
He must not have lived in Colorado very long. 😅
Definitely not targeted towards tourists. And they are delicious!
Yeah I tried them once and never again. I would 100% order them for someone visiting me though 😂
@@ILoveDisneyland 😂😂😂 Let ppl eat quite a few of them, then tell the ppl what they are. LoL
Nuts
Jenn is my favorite part of this channel, CB. Keep the content with her coming POR FAVOR ✨😇✨
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 should!
Don't forget to make it to a Nuggets, Avalanche, or Denver Broncos game!
Jenn is a great addition to your channel. I just love her laugh!
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
So glad you and Jenn made it to our aquarium!!! Haha and you had the famous oysters lol 😂
I can’t believe one of the aquarium owners watches Jacob!
hahahaha the camera focusing on the deer heads when you said that bit about forbidden knowledge was hilarious 😆
"I guess when you're a tiger nap time is whenever you want it to be nap time" 😂😂😂

Hi Jenny Penny and Jacob 😊👋 you two have fun. Stay safe.🙏🤓📸
Lmao jacob riding otter stomach is most adorable thing
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
Casa Bonita is scheduled open in Denver this Friday 26th. Please check dates

Went to the Buckhorn with friends (who are locals) last year on a visit. Amazing place and yummy food!!
It’s Blue Streak at Cedar Point.
If you’re around for a bit, the Royal Gorge is really fun, and the top of Pikes Peak on the cog railway, if you haven’t already
Jen is an aquarium newbie! You should introduce her to SeaWorld.
I have already watched this 3 times... Totally amazing super interesting.!!!! Love it.. Well done Jenn on feeding the sting rays.. Most impressed XXXX
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

When Jen put that Rocky Mountain oyster in her mouth I did one of those full body shivers. I thought to myself, I'm not eating anything's anatomy. LOL
fun fact!!!!😊 did you know that the male seahorse carries the babies❤
I did!
Yes!
And not only seahorses but also some fish do that.
Jacob, Jen, that looked like a fun lunch and adventure day, thank you!🦌
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. 😊
Growing up I never had the opportunity to visit an aquarium either. So I totally believe Jenn and why would she fib about that.
i would trust Jenn on any statement, except when surrounded by giggles.
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
Otter thunder dome going on. 2 otters enter, 1 otter leaves. 🤪
My daddy and uncle always joked about mountain oysters when I was a kid . Couldn’t figure out what was so funny about oysters. 😂
Thank you and your family enjoy what you both do happy Adventures
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 ❣️
It tastes weird..had it as a burger. Wasn't ever crazy about it
When you go to Vegas for Jenn's birthday, maybe you could visit the aquarium there.
Awesome aquarium. Loved the fish, especially the sharks.
As always very interesting and entertaining video Jacob.
You and Jen are so funny😅. Thank you for everything
You should go to the Baltimore national aquarium it have a rainforest the top of the building
LOL Jacob, seems you're a little put off when you begin. The look on your face is priceless 😂.
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 really want to try Rocky mountain oysters someday!! The aquarium looked amazing!
Rocky Mountain Oysters are mollusks found in bodies of freshwater in the Rocky Mountains region.
You may want to check your research
its bull testicles
😆 🤣 😂
You can find them in a bull’s pants.
Oh, I don't think I'd be hungry enough, gulp, gack.Maybe the quail . . .😊
I took a school field trip to the aquarium in 2008. I loved it

Knowing what they are, I could not.
Ya'lls dinner does look delicious. 😋 Enjoy!

So awsome that you always find a carousel!
I always thought mtn oysters were sheep testicles. I admire you for trying those things. I couldn't do it.
Enjoyed replay thanks yall for sharing your channel 😀 👍🏼 😊

thanks for showing us this.

This Colorado/Denver trip seems conveniently timed with a certain legendary local restaurant's impending reopening, no?
Yall are so awesome.. You two are more brave than I am with trying Rocky Mountain Oysters lol... I really enjoyed this video!
So happy you made it to Buckhorn Exchange. Have lived in Denver since 1975 and have never been there. Very expensive. 🤑
Jenn is the best
Welcome to Colorado!! Glad you are enjoying the sites and our special Rocky mountain cuisine
awwww what a bunch of cute little squirrels!
The old Elitch Theater and carousel budling are interesting to visit
A whale is a mammal. A dolphin is a mammal. I can see Jenn's confusion.
Where's the equality, Jacob?
Where's the womanatee?

Over here in México we have a similar soup called “frijoles charros” and it’s basically the beans with bacon, onion and cilantro

Interesting video Jacob. FYI, Rocky Mountain Oysters are Bull testicles. They're cleaned, skinned, breaded and deep fried
They shouldn't call them oysters than
@@karentucker2161 true but I'm willing to bet only a few people would want to eat something with testicle in the name. 😸

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.
I am awaiting a surgery this year, but next year I am taking an Amtrak trip to Denver!
I’m a huge aquarium fan and the best aquarium I’ve ever been to was in Monterey bay California food there wasn’t too bad either

LOL sharks are Elasmobranch fish !🤗 great vid!
I loved watching that aquarium. It is so big and with many fish, etc. I 've only been to the Coney Island one lol.
I'm so glad I'm at the top of the food chain and don't have to eat leftovers
You two are cute together. Jenn has already learned how to push your buttons and get you to blush 😅 Have fun guys!
Hi Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏽
Love that Aquarium
I first tried Rocky Mountain Oysters at The Big Texan, I think. I liked it. The texture is like chicken gizzards. 😋
You are a brave man for eating these things. I guess it is mind over matter. LOL...
A shark is a fish it's a special kind of fish because it has cartilage instead of bones
They also give live birth
@@sentientsickness Some do, and with those species, the babies fight and devour each other in the mom's belly.
Other sharks lay sack-like eggs that hatch outside the mother.
@@agerven such a strange and diverse animal
$.25 for a bath and shave. That's a mighty fine deal!
My dad is Italian and years ago used to eat bulls balls, lambs brain and raw fish (not sushi). It is illegal now to sell it in NY.
This was awesome! Thanks a
I love the aquariums❤
"That was otterly ridiculous" says the shark that is a fish - or is he?
