为气候变化参加节目奥巴马称，参加节目是为了让美国民众意识到气候变化所带来的影响。他说，“ I've got two daughters, and I don't want grandkids too soon, but eventually I hope to have some. I want to make sure this is there for them, not just for us.我有两个女儿，虽然我不想那么快就当姥爷，但是最终我还是会有外孙。我希望他们来到世上的时候，这些东西还在，不是只有我们能看到。
奥巴马非常享受这次旅程，他表示，“ This is gotta be one of the best days of my presidency. First of all, I'm not in the office. Second of all, I'm not wearing a suit.这是我当总统以来最美好的一天之一。首先，我不用在办公室里呆着；其次，我不用穿西装。
自带“尝膳”员除了特勤人员（Secret Service personnel）和记者团（press corps），奥巴马还带了“尝膳”员（food taster），整个保姆团异常强大，大约有50人 。“尝膳”员的职责就是确保一切入总统口的东西都是安全的，包括食物、水。
吃熊啃过的鲑鱼奥巴马还吃了熊啃过的鲑鱼，并称味道不错：“ I think a piece of salmon, that'll work just fine. It would've been nice if we had a cracker to go with it. Bear is a mediocre cook, but the fact that we ate something recognizable was encouraging.这块鲑鱼吃着还行，不过要是有薄脆饼干就着吃就更好了。贝尔厨艺平平，不过能认得出我们吃的东西已经很令人鼓舞了。
不饮自己的尿粉丝强烈要求贝爷与奥巴马分享一则求生小常识：“喝自己的尿”。奥巴马称不会饮自己的尿，他说，“ I suppose, in extremes, it's something that I would do – if the alternative was death. It's not something I'd make a habit of. And I probably wouldn't do it just for a TV show.我觉得，除非在非常情况下，也就是说生死关头，我才会这样做。但我并不想养成这种习惯，而且大概也不会为了拍真人秀而去喝尿的。
