More frustrating to speak with joe than sand, at least I can understand sand but not joe.
So quicksand is way slower than in the movies, but way harder to get out of.
Very courageous reporter couldn’t tolerate 5 minutes in quicksand and started to panic 😂
"Sorry fella. It's time for lunch. No worries. We'll be back in an hour…"
“That’s the scariest thing” this guy have ever endured in his life? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I was a kid I thought quick sand and piranhas we're gonna be a problem for me
This guys is a real puss, He has 4 professional rescuers right next to him and he is starting to panic.
This makes me feel some sort of claustrophobia
Him – OK I’m starting to feel uncomfortable about the whole situation right now.
Other guy – 🙂
Watching I feel very anxious.
Overacting
Imagine he just said “dang that’s tough” and walked away 😭
Good place, if you need to dump some rubbish.

Bully Maguire collects sand from here to put some dirt in other's eyes
Geez what a crybaby.
You have a professional and his team, your camera crew and a busy town right behind you yet you're 'feeling a little nervous right now.`
My buddy got his dirt bike stuck in quick sand in Moab Utah… the only thing that remained visible was the handle bars. It was both hilarious and hilarious at the same time.
Why is this so unnecessarily traumatic?
