Uncle Chaps and White Sox Dave's Greenland episode is out

TLDR: Uncle Chaps and White Sox Dave's No Objectives episode from Nuuk, Greenland went live on Drop A Pin on October 28, with Arctic fishing, a freezing swim and a brand new pet iceberg.

They filmed it back in August, and Dave calls it one of his favourite trips ever. The episode's best bit came straight out of the promo: 2 guys on a rock at sunset adopting an iceberg.

Back in August, @UncleChaps and I made the *easy* trek to Greenland to film an episode of “No Objectives” for @DropAPinShow Had no idea what to expect and it turned into one of my favorite trips ever. Here’s Chaps and I naming our new pet ice berg WATCH:

The *easy* trek line is the joke. Nuuk is the capital of Greenland, and getting there is not a quick trip. That fits No Objectives. Chaps co-hosts Drop A Pin with The Wonton Don, and on this series the plan is to land somewhere and see what happens. In Greenland, what happened was a pet iceberg. The clip never shows its name, so you'll have to watch the episode for that.

Then they went fishing. Dave is from Chicago and a White Sox guy, and he came home with a take aimed at the Barstool outdoors crew: fishing takes no skill at all. Drop the line, reel it in, fish.

Fishing takes no skill AT ALL Step 1: Drop the line into the water Step 2: Reel the line into the boat Boom, fish. Sorry if this offends @StoolOutdoors No Objectives is LIVE from Nuuk, Greenland! 🔗: t.co/Acne8CHl9X

That's ribbing for Stool Outdoors, not a real hunting-and-fishing philosophy. To be fair to Dave, though, the clip does pretty much go his way: line goes down, red fish comes up, all of it in grey Arctic water under cliffs. Nobody had to sit in a tree stand for 9 hours.

Only 5 million or less people have ever been to Greenland. We are two of the few! @barstoolWSD

Then there's the swim. Every Chaps trip seems to have a moment where he does something that looks miserable on purpose, and this time it was a dip in water with ice floating in it. His review was 2 sentences long.

The water was like knives. Fun!

Swimming in the Arctic Ocean Watch No Objectives | Nuuk, Greenland on YouTube now!

"Like knives" is the honest part and "Fun!" is the sarcasm. Still, that's the pitch for this show. It's Barstool travel content with no itinerary, a former Marine willing to jump into the Arctic, and a White Sox blogger trying to keep up. Back in the studio, Chaps was already bragging that he and Dave are 2 of the few people who have ever made it to Greenland. The full video is up on Drop A Pin's YouTube now. If the iceberg gets a sequel, we want updates.
