Private Notes
Larry travels to Alaska where he attempts to bust moose poachers, uncovers Alaskan greatness, and then drops in unannounced on Wasilla's most famous citizen and her family.
Larry takes a special road trip to the big bovine paradise of Wisconsin. His first stop is the state's largest dairy farm, where he works every tough job that goes into each glass of milk. He then takes a detour to hamburger-happy Seymour, a town that claims to be the burger's birthplace. Larry takes another side trip to visit a rancher with a soft spot for cows born with deformities. Finally, he embeds himself with the men who pack the legendary beef at one of Wisconsin's most venerated meatpackers.
Larry spends this episode going to extremes to show you how Americans go to extremes when it comes to animals. He begins in the coastal marshes of Florida where he's assisting a guy with the ultimate alligator obsession. Larry helps the young researcher take blood, urine and even vomit from gators in the name of science. Then we are off to Colorado, where a terrified Larry works with the brave, dedicated staff of Serenity Springs, a haven that takes in ferocious big felines that have nowhere else to go and gives them state-of-the-art medical and dental care. Finally, Larry apprentices with a Maryland taxidermist, revealing how Americans turned stuffing critters into a popular--and sometimes very wacky--art form.
Larry zeros in on bizarre ways to earn a living. He visits a Florida family that wrangles live alligators, then profiles a construction crew building a medieval castle. Larry also gets the naked truth about a cowboy who goes nude in Times Square
Larry heads to the deep Ozark woods to see how squirrel hunting created the original American sharpshooters. Then Larry faces a steep challenge: training to stalk and shoot with the US Army's elite snipers at their training center in Fort Benning, GA. Finally, he heads to Colorado to meet "the most armed man in America."
Larry heads down south to show us how the American redneck creates entertainment. He first puts his redneck cred on the line as he tries his hand at mud bogging--down and dirty drag racing at its finest. Larry then sees how good ol' boys who like to wreck stuff put their martial arts "breaking" skills to use as they attempt to tear down a whole house by hand! Finally, Larry meets up with Bubba Blackwell, the American daredevil who has brought the motorcycle stunt into the 21st century. How many full-sized semis is Bubba gonna try to jump??!!
Larry shares a few of his offbeat choices of favorite American things. His love of livestock leads him to a genuine cattle drive in the most unlikely place: the swamps of Central Florida. Then he joins a company called "Mr. John" and immerses himself in servicing port-a-potties. Finally, Larry travels to Newark, New Jersey and sells us on the idea of why we should love the Great American Used Car Salesman.
Larry checks in for the late shift as he experiences America after the sun goes down. First, Larry gets to be the greenhorn trying to keep up with a four-generation shrimping family as they head into shark-infested waters at night to bring back the bounty of the sea. Then, Larry gets the creepy crawlies as he helps exterminators catch critters that only come out in the dark. Finally, Larry searches for paranormal activity when he joins a team investigating agitators from the afterlife at a haunted Virginia historical site.
Mr. Cable Guy goes to Washington. Larry spends a few days getting behind-the-scenes insights into our nation's capitol. He first gets amazing access to the nerve center of America's military might as he visits areas of the Pentagon few civilians have never seen before. Then Larry gets inside the FBI by being... an actor. His participation in FBI scenario training reveals how our agents master self-control and situational awareness. The feds then try to make a G-man out of Larry. Finally, Larry tries his hand at being a DC tour guide on the amphibious DC Ducks tour.
Larry joins in with citizens who deal with critters that have invaded our country. First, Larry teams with a pair of guys who use GPS-enhanced dogs and their own strength to deal with the pesky problem that is the feral pig. Larry then heads to Louisiana to catch nutria, a large, ugly and very hungry rodent that has been destroying the natural vegetation and chowing down on the levies. Larry ends his trip at a "carp rodeo" in Iowa, a wild and watery way to control the population of a voracious species of fish.
Larry finds an array of qualities that make America great as he rolls through the Bluegrass State. First he visits the great American worker at the great American plant making the great American muscle car--the Corvette. Larry also takes a quick visit to Louisville to visit a sports standard-bearer: the Louisville Slugger. Then Larry goes searching for Bigfoot and aims to see if Kentucky has the best Sasquatch hunters anywhere.
Larry spends some time in and around New Orleans to see the way they do things in the Big Easy. First, Gar Fishing: Larry goes after the freaky fish that is the favorite challenge of the good ol' boys of Morgan City, Louisiana. And later, Larry tackles the mess that is the French Quarter the morning after a typical weekend.
Larry goes behind-the-curtain at some American spots that are always marked "Authorized Persons Only." First, at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport, Larry joins the TSA. Then, Larry goes to a secret location to help the ultimate bomb squad get rid of explosive material. And Larry gets inside the everyday media machine that is a local TV station.
