1
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:13,012
Imagine a distant,
extraordinary land.

2
00:00:16,225 --> 00:00:20,764
Ruled by the impulses
of mother nature.

3
00:00:20,788 --> 00:00:22,523
Did you feel the
earthquake here?

4
00:00:22,547 --> 00:00:23,975
We thought we were
going to meet the maker.

5
00:00:23,999 --> 00:00:25,381
Really?

6
00:00:26,468 --> 00:00:28,605
Where to survive at
all means coexisting.

7
00:00:28,629 --> 00:00:31,124
Alongside the extremes
of the natural world.

8
00:00:31,148 --> 00:00:34,219
- Power of the wind.
- Yeah, baby!

9
00:00:34,243 --> 00:00:36,629
Welcome to the south
island of new Zealand...

10
00:00:36,653 --> 00:00:37,981
It's pristine.

11
00:00:38,005 --> 00:00:40,050
A singular escape...

12
00:00:40,074 --> 00:00:42,115
On the other side of the planet.

13
00:00:44,395 --> 00:00:47,662
- Yeah!
- All right, hit it!

14
00:00:48,999 --> 00:00:50,310
Here we go!

15
00:00:50,334 --> 00:00:51,717
Yeah, baby.

16
00:01:06,942 --> 00:01:08,995
Wellington...

17
00:01:09,019 --> 00:01:11,361
A vibrant, artistic metropolis.

18
00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:15,741
The southernmost
capital city on the planet.

19
00:01:17,745 --> 00:01:19,914
But I'm here because
it's also the gateway.

20
00:01:19,938 --> 00:01:22,605
To new zealand's
majestic south island.

21
00:01:30,448 --> 00:01:33,111
And after spending some
time enamored by the people.

22
00:01:33,135 --> 00:01:35,188
And the sights of
the north island,

23
00:01:35,212 --> 00:01:37,857
I'm hitting the ferry,
and I'm heading south.

24
00:01:37,881 --> 00:01:41,344
To experience one of the
top riding destinations on earth.

25
00:01:41,368 --> 00:01:42,621
So, have you been to
new Zealand before?

26
00:01:42,645 --> 00:01:44,438
- No, my first time!
- Wow.

27
00:01:44,462 --> 00:01:46,366
- Amazing.
- That's Dylan mcdermott.

28
00:01:46,390 --> 00:01:48,752
You might recognize
him from "the practice,".

29
00:01:48,776 --> 00:01:50,462
But to me, he's
always going to be

30
00:01:50,486 --> 00:01:52,872
"American horror
story's" dr. Ben Harmon.

31
00:01:52,896 --> 00:01:56,376
- I want to get a farm here.
- Have you done farm life before?

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,378
I like to be away. I
like to be in the woods.

33
00:01:58,402 --> 00:02:00,538
- I agree.
- You know?

34
00:02:00,562 --> 00:02:02,974
I first met Dylan a few years
back at a friend's wedding,

35
00:02:02,998 --> 00:02:05,368
And it turns out he
rides motorcycles,

36
00:02:05,392 --> 00:02:06,886
So I hit him up to
see if he was down.

37
00:02:06,910 --> 00:02:08,872
For an off-the-grid escape.

38
00:02:08,896 --> 00:02:10,957
After exploring wellington,

39
00:02:10,981 --> 00:02:13,543
We'll park the bikes for
a 100-kilometer boat ride.

40
00:02:13,567 --> 00:02:16,262
Across cook strait
to the south island.

41
00:02:16,286 --> 00:02:18,715
Winding down the
coastline to kaikoura,

42
00:02:18,739 --> 00:02:20,717
We'll detour into sheep country.

43
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:23,161
Before meeting up with
some local innovators.

44
00:02:23,185 --> 00:02:25,738
In the city of Christchurch.

45
00:02:25,762 --> 00:02:28,649
It's a three-day,
460-kilometer journey.

46
00:02:28,673 --> 00:02:31,002
Through the south island,
one of the most isolated.

47
00:02:31,026 --> 00:02:33,705
Yet sublime
corners of the world.

48
00:02:33,729 --> 00:02:35,757
- Let's do it.
- Let's grab a coffee.

49
00:02:35,781 --> 00:02:36,137
Sure.

50
00:02:36,161 --> 00:02:38,659
Hi! I'll have a kia
or a with a little milk.

51
00:02:38,683 --> 00:02:41,287
- Just an espresso for me.
- Hey, I've seen you.

52
00:02:41,311 --> 00:02:43,548
You're just pretty
famous on vic deals?

53
00:02:43,572 --> 00:02:45,550
- Have you seen the page?
- Seen the what?

54
00:02:45,574 --> 00:02:47,835
- What's flick gills?
- So...

55
00:02:47,859 --> 00:02:49,855
Did I say that
wrong, too? Gills?

56
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:51,598
- It sounds like you swallowed the word.
- No.

57
00:02:51,622 --> 00:02:53,583
You're going to have to
have subtitles for this episode.

58
00:02:53,607 --> 00:02:55,627
Yeah. Totally. Vic deals?

59
00:02:55,651 --> 00:02:57,087
- Yeah, vic deals.
- What is that?

60
00:02:57,111 --> 00:02:59,564
Vic deals.

61
00:02:59,588 --> 00:03:02,242
You mean like a goofy meme? Is
it that stupid one where I'm crying?

62
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:04,527
- No, no.
- Never cry on camera.

63
00:03:04,551 --> 00:03:06,221
Everywhere, like an ass.

64
00:03:06,245 --> 00:03:07,521
Meh!

65
00:03:07,545 --> 00:03:09,040
Like, "I don't want
to wake up today."

66
00:03:09,064 --> 00:03:10,909
"And go to school, mom." meh!

67
00:03:10,933 --> 00:03:13,194
"I lost my driver's
license." meh!

68
00:03:13,218 --> 00:03:14,611
You're just like, "damn,
I hate the internet!"

69
00:03:14,635 --> 00:03:15,196
I know! Why? Why?

70
00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:18,474
- It's so terrible. I had even a worse one.
- You had a worse one?

71
00:03:18,498 --> 00:03:20,701
- Yeah. It was called "crybating."
- "crybating."

72
00:03:20,725 --> 00:03:23,296
It was crying and
masturbating at the same time.

73
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,550
That's kind of cool,
actually. I kind of like that!

74
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:29,761
- I'm just going to check on your coffee.
- Yeah, now you're blushing!

75
00:03:29,785 --> 00:03:31,346
You're blushing.

76
00:03:31,370 --> 00:03:32,880
- What was this for?
- "American horror story."

77
00:03:32,904 --> 00:03:34,807
- Which was awesome, by the way.
- Thank you.

78
00:03:34,831 --> 00:03:37,810
But Ryan Murphy, just
being in his sphere,

79
00:03:37,834 --> 00:03:40,739
His world, you get to
do so many crazy things.

80
00:03:40,763 --> 00:03:43,149
It must be fun to come back and play
different characters on the same show.

81
00:03:43,173 --> 00:03:45,393
- Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
- On our show,

82
00:03:45,417 --> 00:03:46,819
Like, someone comes
out of the makeup trailer,

83
00:03:46,843 --> 00:03:48,079
And they have some big
cut, you're like, "damn."

84
00:03:48,103 --> 00:03:49,989
- Yeah.
- "How did you get that?"

85
00:03:50,013 --> 00:03:52,825
"Who'd you pay off to get
the cool cut," you know?

86
00:03:52,849 --> 00:03:54,419
- Two coffees.
- There you go.

87
00:03:54,443 --> 00:03:56,213
- Nice to meet you, by the way.
- No worries.

88
00:03:56,237 --> 00:03:58,064
- You guys are dope!
- Yeah, you're awesome.

89
00:03:58,088 --> 00:04:00,592
- Ka kite? Is that a new word?
- Yeah. It means goodbye.

90
00:04:00,616 --> 00:04:02,168
No. Yeah, that's goodbye.

91
00:04:02,192 --> 00:04:03,845
- Ka kite.
- Or say "chur."

92
00:04:03,869 --> 00:04:06,673
- Cheer up!
- Like, c-h-u-r.

93
00:04:06,697 --> 00:04:08,956
Ka kite, I'm out. Chur.

94
00:04:12,119 --> 00:04:14,922
How'd you get into motorcycles?
When did you first start riding?

95
00:04:14,946 --> 00:04:17,600
In new york, actually,
I got this little Honda.

96
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:19,018
What was it, a rebel?

97
00:04:19,042 --> 00:04:20,853
I think it was even smaller.

98
00:04:20,877 --> 00:04:22,814
- Wow.
- But it was bad ass.

99
00:04:22,838 --> 00:04:24,879
It was like a hairdryer.

100
00:04:26,958 --> 00:04:28,433
Here we go.

101
00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:31,456
This is your next show.

102
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,054
- Swinging.
- Swing.

103
00:04:34,349 --> 00:04:35,651
I know you do a
lot of movies, too,

104
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:36,869
- But do you like tv better...
- Yes.

105
00:04:36,893 --> 00:04:38,404
Or you like movies better?

106
00:04:38,428 --> 00:04:40,148
I mean, it's kind of all
the same now, isn't it?

107
00:04:40,172 --> 00:04:41,824
In the '90s, television,

108
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,486
That was a signal that your
movie career was failing.

109
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:46,254
Yeah. If someone got
a tv show, you'd go,

110
00:04:46,278 --> 00:04:48,381
- "that's okay. Keep trying."
- poor, poor guy.

111
00:04:48,405 --> 00:04:50,267
Did you always want
to be an actor or...?

112
00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:54,178
My dad's third
wife was eve ensler,

113
00:04:54,202 --> 00:04:55,830
Who wrote "the
vagina monologues."

114
00:04:55,854 --> 00:04:57,482
She was the first person.

115
00:04:57,506 --> 00:04:59,225
Who said, "you
should be an actor."

116
00:04:59,249 --> 00:05:01,394
You just need that one
person to believe in you in life...

117
00:05:01,418 --> 00:05:03,405
- Yeah.
- And she was that person.

118
00:05:03,429 --> 00:05:05,156
And now you're a huge success.

119
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:06,899
The thing about
show business is that.

120
00:05:06,923 --> 00:05:08,893
The good news is
people know you.

121
00:05:08,917 --> 00:05:10,320
- The bad news is...
- They're sick of you.

122
00:05:10,344 --> 00:05:12,238
People know you.

123
00:05:12,262 --> 00:05:14,324
Right. That's true. I hear you.

124
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:15,892
- A tear-jerker.
- It felt good to be on a swing.

125
00:05:15,916 --> 00:05:17,394
Yeah, that was fun.

126
00:05:17,418 --> 00:05:19,609
- All right, you ready, Freddy?
- Let's do it!

127
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:25,251
Look at this weird
round building.

128
00:05:25,275 --> 00:05:27,737
Like, what is that?
It's like mordor.

129
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:29,172
This one? I know!

130
00:05:29,196 --> 00:05:30,731
And look to the left. Like...

131
00:05:30,755 --> 00:05:32,225
That's awesome!

132
00:05:32,249 --> 00:05:33,910
Before we leave
the north island,

133
00:05:33,934 --> 00:05:35,854
A quick stop to fuel up.

134
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:38,431
The Maori, the indigenous
people of this country,

135
00:05:38,455 --> 00:05:41,423
Have long believed in a synergy
between nature and humanity.

136
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:44,195
So we're off to meet a chef.

137
00:05:44,219 --> 00:05:47,273
Who's bringing back the
lost art of living off the land.

138
00:05:47,297 --> 00:05:49,183
I'm excited to meet this lady.

139
00:05:49,207 --> 00:05:50,943
They do, like, a...
a foraging thing.

140
00:05:50,967 --> 00:05:52,779
I can't wait!

141
00:05:52,803 --> 00:05:54,539
This is pretty through here.

142
00:05:54,563 --> 00:05:56,407
Yeah, it's nice!

143
00:05:56,431 --> 00:05:58,192
- Hi. I'm Norman.
- Monique.

144
00:05:58,216 --> 00:06:00,462
Nice to meet you, Monique.
How much stuff do you gather?

145
00:06:00,486 --> 00:06:02,530
Just whatever you can
put in your backpack?

146
00:06:02,554 --> 00:06:05,291
Yeah, what we usually do,
as a team, is we'll go foraging,

147
00:06:05,315 --> 00:06:07,043
And we'll grab a
whole bunch of stuff.

148
00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:09,578
I have a bunch of backpacks
and a few extra bags.

149
00:06:09,602 --> 00:06:13,207
After several years at top
new york city restaurants,

150
00:06:13,231 --> 00:06:16,969
Monique fiso returned
home to her Maori roots.

151
00:06:16,993 --> 00:06:20,765
Her spot, hiakai,
or "hungry" in Maori,

152
00:06:20,789 --> 00:06:23,059
Specializes in
traditional ingredients.

153
00:06:23,083 --> 00:06:25,770
That you don't find in
a local grocery store.

154
00:06:25,794 --> 00:06:27,814
Today, we're just going
to collect a few little things,

155
00:06:27,838 --> 00:06:29,306
Cook a few bits and bobs.

156
00:06:29,330 --> 00:06:31,943
- It's so peaceful in here.
- Yeah, it really is.

157
00:06:31,967 --> 00:06:33,928
Well, I grew up
not far from here.

158
00:06:33,952 --> 00:06:35,521
We used to just
come for walks here,

159
00:06:35,545 --> 00:06:36,806
And I never really,
like, thought of it.

160
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:39,242
As, like, a food source.

161
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:39,497
Right.

162
00:06:39,521 --> 00:06:41,086
But we have a lot of
really interesting plants.

163
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:43,813
That do very fascinating things
and have very unique flavors.

164
00:06:43,837 --> 00:06:47,358
That, like, they can only
be, um, experienced here,

165
00:06:47,382 --> 00:06:49,076
Which I think is the
important thing about.

166
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:52,113
What we do at the restaurant
is just showing kiwis.

167
00:06:52,137 --> 00:06:54,349
That there is a lot to
new Zealand cuisine.

168
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:56,968
- Yeah.
- We're gonna go get the supple jack.

169
00:06:56,992 --> 00:06:58,616
- Let's forage.
- Let's do it.

170
00:07:02,456 --> 00:07:04,109
- Are we coming down with you?
- All right.

171
00:07:04,133 --> 00:07:06,436
You're coming down with me.

172
00:07:06,460 --> 00:07:09,355
- Supple jack.
- I've seen applejacks.

173
00:07:09,379 --> 00:07:11,508
Is that the same?

174
00:07:11,532 --> 00:07:13,267
So, on these vines...

175
00:07:13,291 --> 00:07:15,528
- Yeah.
- The young shoots are edible.

176
00:07:15,552 --> 00:07:19,053
We're just gonna break it off.

177
00:07:20,590 --> 00:07:22,443
Yeah. I would have
never thought to eat that.

178
00:07:22,467 --> 00:07:24,270
If you feel that, it's,
like, super-tender.

179
00:07:24,294 --> 00:07:26,798
- Yeah.
- And you can eat them raw.

180
00:07:26,822 --> 00:07:29,467
- Go ahead, eat it, Norman.
- Do I peel it or just eat it?

181
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:31,140
Just

182
00:07:33,745 --> 00:07:35,623
you're not going to die.

183
00:07:35,647 --> 00:07:38,415
Yeah, it tastes like
exactly like it looks.

184
00:07:39,743 --> 00:07:41,704
Kind of like asparagus. Yeah.

185
00:07:41,728 --> 00:07:43,222
- Kind of like asparagus.
- It does. Yeah.

186
00:07:43,246 --> 00:07:44,816
So we'll take that back with us.

187
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,800
What I want is a few
pieces of pickle pickle.

188
00:07:46,824 --> 00:07:49,904
- Pickle pickle.
- So, if you see, like, a spiral pattern.

189
00:07:49,928 --> 00:07:51,981
I've found us one, though.

190
00:07:52,005 --> 00:07:54,217
- That's not spirally!
- It's spirally. It's a little...

191
00:07:54,241 --> 00:07:56,360
- No, it's not!
- It's gone the wrong way.

192
00:07:56,384 --> 00:07:58,413
- You can... yeah.
- Like this? Okay, I see.

193
00:07:58,437 --> 00:08:01,315
This plant's very delicious.

194
00:08:01,339 --> 00:08:03,226
Yeah, right?

195
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:06,237
The Maori have always been
very protective of the environment.

196
00:08:06,261 --> 00:08:08,339
And particularly where
their food comes from.

197
00:08:08,363 --> 00:08:12,677
They are definitely looking
after the future generations.

198
00:08:12,701 --> 00:08:15,630
It's all about treating
your land with respect.

199
00:08:15,654 --> 00:08:17,436
And looking after it.

200
00:08:20,183 --> 00:08:23,179
- This is the coolest thing ever.
- So this is the supple jack vine,

201
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:25,582
So we'll just use the
tender shoots on it.

202
00:08:25,606 --> 00:08:27,589
Um, and then there's
the pickle pickle.

203
00:08:29,543 --> 00:08:31,551
Some leaves.

204
00:08:33,797 --> 00:08:36,493
I think that will do
us for a quick snack.

205
00:08:36,517 --> 00:08:38,945
That's incredible.

206
00:08:38,969 --> 00:08:42,290
My god, that is really good.

207
00:08:42,314 --> 00:08:44,951
- Magnifique. Wow.
- Yeah, this is awesome.

208
00:08:44,975 --> 00:08:46,702
Can do a lot off
the back of a truck.

209
00:08:46,726 --> 00:08:49,272
Last bite for the chef.

210
00:08:49,296 --> 00:08:52,124
Yeah, this is great.

211
00:08:52,148 --> 00:08:54,076
Thank you for this.
This was awesome.

212
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,036
- No worries. - What a pleasure.
- Thank you so much.

213
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:57,614
- So great.
- Thanks, guys.

214
00:08:57,638 --> 00:08:58,912
Bye-bye.

215
00:09:00,249 --> 00:09:02,565
Bye! Thank you!

216
00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:09,392
- That fish was awesome.
- Amazing.

217
00:09:09,416 --> 00:09:12,052
I love a person that can live off
the land. You know what I mean?

218
00:09:12,076 --> 00:09:14,739
Hell, yeah. I would
love to live like that, man.

219
00:09:14,763 --> 00:09:16,607
Now with our stomachs satisfied,

220
00:09:16,631 --> 00:09:18,706
It's time to leave the
north island behind.

221
00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:23,328
Cook strait.

222
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:26,459
The narrow yet
hostile stretch of sea.

223
00:09:26,483 --> 00:09:28,995
Separating the two main
islands of new Zealand.

224
00:09:29,019 --> 00:09:32,331
These waters are some of
the most dangerous in the world,

225
00:09:32,355 --> 00:09:35,718
And with no roadways
linking the north and the south,

226
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:38,579
Over a million people rely
on this three-hour voyage.

227
00:09:38,603 --> 00:09:39,786
Each year.

228
00:09:41,373 --> 00:09:44,343
- Wow, we're on a boat!
- Yeah, bro.

229
00:09:44,367 --> 00:09:47,013
Man, a cruise ship.
They scare me.

230
00:09:47,037 --> 00:09:50,516
Yeah. I was on one of those
with 5,000 "walking dead" fans.

231
00:09:50,540 --> 00:09:53,093
- Yeah, that is crazy.
- I did a ton of those conventions.

232
00:09:53,117 --> 00:09:54,796
When "the walking
dead" first started.

233
00:09:54,820 --> 00:09:57,507
- Right. Right.
- This is wild!

234
00:09:57,531 --> 00:10:00,214
I feel like we're in Berlin,
going to a rave or something.

235
00:10:14,356 --> 00:10:16,009
Look at this.

236
00:10:16,033 --> 00:10:17,877
This is awesome up here!

237
00:10:17,901 --> 00:10:19,879
I mean, we're
hauling ass right now!

238
00:10:19,903 --> 00:10:20,221
Right?

239
00:10:20,245 --> 00:10:22,381
I just felt that. Did you
feel that right there?

240
00:10:22,405 --> 00:10:25,009
Felt a little wob.
A little wob-wob.

241
00:10:25,033 --> 00:10:27,720
I'm so glad I took
that Dramamine. Oof!

242
00:10:27,744 --> 00:10:29,805
How fast do you think
we're going right now?

243
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:31,891
About 20 knots. What is a knot?

244
00:10:31,915 --> 00:10:34,226
- I don't know, what is a knot?
- Did you take a Dramamine?

245
00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:35,978
I did, yeah.

246
00:10:36,002 --> 00:10:39,215
I'm waiting for the
seasickness to kick in, like.

247
00:10:39,239 --> 00:10:42,243
Yeah? Like how you feeling?

248
00:10:42,267 --> 00:10:44,392
Yeah, that's about it for me.

249
00:10:46,179 --> 00:10:49,189
This is just beautiful, Dylan?

250
00:10:50,433 --> 00:10:53,360
Where's Dylan? Did he
jump? I think he jumped.

251
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:59,251
Have you guys seen Dylan?
Have you guys seen Dylan?

252
00:10:59,275 --> 00:11:01,370
No? All right.

253
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:03,348
Have you seen, my friend Dylan?

254
00:11:03,372 --> 00:11:06,676
He's, like, handsome, he's
chiseled, he's got short hair.

255
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,199
No?

256
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:13,933
I found him! He's in here.

257
00:11:13,957 --> 00:11:16,952
Hi, Dylan. He's trying
to shoo us away.

258
00:11:16,976 --> 00:11:18,512
This is "American
horror story" right here.

259
00:11:18,536 --> 00:11:20,681
Get away from the window,
guys. Get away from the window.

260
00:11:20,705 --> 00:11:23,684
Okay. I'm... I'm
sorry, sir. I'm sorry, sir.

261
00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:26,871
Okay. All right. All right.

262
00:11:26,895 --> 00:11:29,707
Well, you know, you
take a guy on a trip,

263
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:31,876
You know, all the
way to new Zealand...

264
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:34,620
All right, I'm getting seasick.

265
00:11:34,644 --> 00:11:37,940
Five seasons, over
5,000 miles on the road,

266
00:11:37,964 --> 00:11:40,534
And not one single
sick day taken.

267
00:11:40,558 --> 00:11:42,904
But 10 minutes
swaying on a ferry,

268
00:11:42,928 --> 00:11:45,278
And, yeah, we're
both out for the count.

269
00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,929
Look at these mountains! Whoo!

270
00:11:51,953 --> 00:11:54,482
My god, this is little!

271
00:11:54,506 --> 00:11:57,309
- It's fun, right?
- So fun.

272
00:11:57,333 --> 00:12:01,063
We've never been
pulled over before!

273
00:12:01,087 --> 00:12:02,762
Everyone, stay on your bikes.

274
00:12:05,023 --> 00:12:09,488
The cook strait is an
unpredictable waterway.

275
00:12:09,512 --> 00:12:12,355
Pummeled by new
zealand's famous winds.

276
00:12:15,502 --> 00:12:17,477
Dude, where's Dylan at?

277
00:12:18,888 --> 00:12:21,649
And with our sea legs
finally back under us...

278
00:12:21,673 --> 00:12:22,485
That's nice.

279
00:12:22,509 --> 00:12:25,844
Dylan and I are ready to
give this boat thing another try.

280
00:12:26,972 --> 00:12:29,675
- Crazy.
- This is the right here.

281
00:12:29,699 --> 00:12:32,495
- How you feeling?
- Thank god we took that Dramamine.

282
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:35,422
This is the dude,
look at that spot.

283
00:12:35,446 --> 00:12:39,268
- Come on! This is gorgeous!
- Look at these trees.

284
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:42,513
- I mean, it's pristine. You know?
- Yeah, right.

285
00:12:42,537 --> 00:12:45,182
- Yeah, this is paradise.
- It's heaven, man.

286
00:12:45,206 --> 00:12:48,027
You know, you think about how
much time you have left here.

287
00:12:48,051 --> 00:12:50,062
And where you want
to spend it, you know?

288
00:12:50,086 --> 00:12:52,281
This is where you
want to move, right here.

289
00:12:52,305 --> 00:12:54,000
This is what I'm after,
something like this.

290
00:12:54,024 --> 00:12:55,351
Yeah, right?

291
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:57,703
I love it. I could do this.

292
00:12:57,727 --> 00:13:00,469
- Yeah.
- Coming into civilization now.

293
00:13:11,991 --> 00:13:15,894
- Whoo! That was awesome.
- Look at these mountains!

294
00:13:19,073 --> 00:13:22,820
Everything's so lush
here. Like, really green!

295
00:13:22,844 --> 00:13:25,080
Even this is all beautiful!

296
00:13:25,104 --> 00:13:27,483
Valley of dead trees right
here. This is awesome!

297
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:29,518
- It's like a sculpture garden.
- There we go.

298
00:13:29,542 --> 00:13:31,403
- Blenheim... that's where we're headed.
- Blenheim.

299
00:13:31,427 --> 00:13:33,831
The south island, we have
our own little bit of paradise.

300
00:13:33,855 --> 00:13:36,233
We've got the mountains.
We've got the rivers.

301
00:13:36,257 --> 00:13:37,776
We have the best biking roads.

302
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,820
We got clean air blowing past.

303
00:13:39,844 --> 00:13:41,655
A lot of farming.
A lot of sheep.

304
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,041
See a lot more sheep
than they do humans.

305
00:13:44,065 --> 00:13:47,759
Nicest people in the world.
What else do you need?

306
00:13:49,763 --> 00:13:52,850
Before the south island
sun sets on our first day,

307
00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:55,836
We're going to find some locals
and wind down with a nightcap.

308
00:13:55,860 --> 00:13:58,211
- Should we check this place out?
- Yeah.

309
00:13:59,798 --> 00:14:03,060
- Whoa, look at this!
- This is cool!

310
00:14:03,084 --> 00:14:04,895
Very cool!

311
00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:07,670
I'm going to take a picture
of slash and send it to slash.

312
00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:13,128
Ha! Lookit, yo... kangaroo.

313
00:14:13,152 --> 00:14:14,813
- Is this your spot?
- Yeah.

314
00:14:14,837 --> 00:14:17,274
- Nice to meet you, man.
- How's it going? How you doing?

315
00:14:17,298 --> 00:14:19,101
You named all your roadkill?

316
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:22,571
You got to, you know,
give them a story.

317
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:24,215
So, what's the
story with this place?

318
00:14:24,239 --> 00:14:26,199
This is my solution.

319
00:14:26,223 --> 00:14:28,675
To working too hard in
the big city, I suppose.

320
00:14:28,699 --> 00:14:29,053
Nice.

321
00:14:29,077 --> 00:14:29,414
Yeah.

322
00:14:29,438 --> 00:14:31,705
Are you from up north,
like Auckland area?

323
00:14:31,729 --> 00:14:33,741
Yeah, Auckland.
Complete opposite of here.

324
00:14:33,765 --> 00:14:35,685
- Little bit more laid-back.
- You ride, too?

325
00:14:35,709 --> 00:14:37,620
- Are these yours?
- Totally, yeah.

326
00:14:37,644 --> 00:14:40,297
Grew up on dirt bikes. Yeah.

327
00:14:40,321 --> 00:14:43,234
- This thing, my god, is enormous!
- It's a monster.

328
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:45,736
Can you show us back here?
Are we allowed to go back there?

329
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,313
Yeah, I'll show you around.

330
00:14:47,337 --> 00:14:49,481
Essentially, just
a creative space.

331
00:14:49,505 --> 00:14:51,075
Do you restore all
the bikes yourself?

332
00:14:51,099 --> 00:14:53,485
My whole background's
engineering and mechanical,

333
00:14:53,509 --> 00:14:56,414
So moving from the
city down to a small town,

334
00:14:56,438 --> 00:14:58,875
I wanted somewhere where
I could still hobby away.

335
00:14:58,899 --> 00:15:01,085
- The bar pays the bills.
- It's a great hobby space.

336
00:15:01,109 --> 00:15:03,153
Yeah. It's my
little happy space.

337
00:15:03,177 --> 00:15:04,863
I feel like it gets a
little rowdy down here.

338
00:15:04,887 --> 00:15:06,315
I feel like there's
some rowdiness.

339
00:15:06,339 --> 00:15:07,824
It's pretty under control...

340
00:15:07,848 --> 00:15:10,419
- Yeah.
- You know, before 10:00.

341
00:15:10,443 --> 00:15:12,296
Right, right, right.

342
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,740
We've decided to be
the adults in the room.

343
00:15:14,764 --> 00:15:16,917
And call it an early night.

344
00:15:16,941 --> 00:15:19,867
Tomorrow, we travel
deeper into the south island.

345
00:15:28,929 --> 00:15:31,198
- Sweet little town.
- Yeah, right?

346
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:33,025
What's your favorite
place to ride bikes?

347
00:15:33,049 --> 00:15:35,549
It may be here. I'll let
you know at the end.

348
00:15:37,887 --> 00:15:42,293
Waking up in Blenheim, it's the
sunshine capital of new Zealand,

349
00:15:42,317 --> 00:15:44,277
But with those looming clouds,

350
00:15:44,301 --> 00:15:46,279
We picked a good
day to skip town.

351
00:15:46,303 --> 00:15:48,615
So, where's your place
in new york, in Chelsea?

352
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:51,835
I mean, I grew up there. Interesting
way to grow up as a kid, let me tell you.

353
00:15:51,859 --> 00:15:55,881
I used to wait on john
Belushi. I used to bus his tables.

354
00:15:55,905 --> 00:15:57,975
- That's awesome.
- You know, all the actors.

355
00:15:57,999 --> 00:16:00,959
Did he pull out a samurai
sword and cut the table in half?

356
00:16:03,171 --> 00:16:06,150
It's a 150-kilometer
ride down highway 1,

357
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:08,377
Straddling the
pacific shoreline.

358
00:16:08,401 --> 00:16:11,480
Into the coastal
town of kaikoura.

359
00:16:11,504 --> 00:16:14,492
South island is a motorcycle
enthusiast's dream,

360
00:16:14,516 --> 00:16:18,645
With some of the most
jaw-dropping views in the world.

361
00:16:18,669 --> 00:16:20,906
Before setting off, we're
going to meet a local expert.

362
00:16:20,930 --> 00:16:22,700
Who's going to lead the way.

363
00:16:22,724 --> 00:16:25,336
Beatnik. I did a movie
called "beatnicks."

364
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,918
No one saw it but me.

365
00:16:29,472 --> 00:16:31,041
- Good morning!
- Welcome, guys! I'm mike.

366
00:16:31,065 --> 00:16:32,659
- Nice to meet you, dude.
- Nice to meet, Norman.

367
00:16:32,683 --> 00:16:34,403
- Yeah, love this place.
- Yeah. Thanks for that.

368
00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:36,322
It's a bit of a labor of love.

369
00:16:36,346 --> 00:16:38,349
- Right. What do you do here exactly?
- So, we create,

370
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:41,051
Custom tours and
rentals, on motorcycles.

371
00:16:41,075 --> 00:16:42,845
And then help
people not only have.

372
00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:45,431
A great experience on the
bike and see the great scenery,

373
00:16:45,455 --> 00:16:47,340
But integrate some other
cool things to do, as well.

374
00:16:47,364 --> 00:16:49,585
- That's amazing.
- I mean, are you from here?

375
00:16:49,609 --> 00:16:51,862
I'm Canadian. My wife
is born in new Zealand.

376
00:16:51,886 --> 00:16:55,015
- Why did you choose new Zealand?
- We were living in Dubai,

377
00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:56,926
- And, we'd been there for years.
- In Dubai! Wow!

378
00:16:56,950 --> 00:16:58,703
I was in a kind
of a corporate job,

379
00:16:58,727 --> 00:17:00,429
Getting really burnt out.

380
00:17:00,453 --> 00:17:01,947
It was a really tough
industry at that time.

381
00:17:01,971 --> 00:17:03,849
And we decided to figure
out what it is we wanted to do,

382
00:17:03,873 --> 00:17:05,267
And oddly enough,
we ended up in this...

383
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:07,603
This little town at the
top of the south island.

384
00:17:07,627 --> 00:17:08,838
It was all about the riding.

385
00:17:08,862 --> 00:17:10,940
So, we wanted to be
able to be on a bike.

386
00:17:10,964 --> 00:17:13,158
And be in amazing
riding within five minutes,

387
00:17:13,182 --> 00:17:15,377
Which you can do here
in any direction you go.

388
00:17:15,401 --> 00:17:17,129
So, what's the ride
you're going to take us on?

389
00:17:17,153 --> 00:17:19,372
Today, we're going to
head south, along the coast.

390
00:17:19,396 --> 00:17:20,641
Down to a place called kaikoura.

391
00:17:20,665 --> 00:17:22,134
It's a bit of a
nostalgia ride for me.

392
00:17:22,158 --> 00:17:24,437
When we first opened up,
the road down to kaikoura.

393
00:17:24,461 --> 00:17:26,305
Had actually been closed for a
while because of the earthquake,

394
00:17:26,329 --> 00:17:28,441
So it was... they were...
earthquake came through here?

395
00:17:28,465 --> 00:17:30,735
Yeah, here in this
town wasn't too bad,

396
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:32,570
But, kaikoura, where
you're going and that,

397
00:17:32,594 --> 00:17:35,072
It was almost isolated for
a certain amount of time.

398
00:17:35,096 --> 00:17:37,116
It's shocking when you
see the... the... the power.

399
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:38,809
Mother nature's a mother.

400
00:17:38,833 --> 00:17:41,375
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Let's do it.

401
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:46,992
- This is pretty through here.
- Yeah, it's so beautiful. Wow.

402
00:17:47,016 --> 00:17:49,311
It's like they're made
out of, like, velvet.

403
00:17:49,335 --> 00:17:50,832
What's the difference between
the north and the south?

404
00:17:50,856 --> 00:17:51,480
Well, the north is...

405
00:17:51,504 --> 00:17:53,274
It's got kind of a
higher population,

406
00:17:53,298 --> 00:17:55,926
So the infrastructure, the
roads are a little more prominent,

407
00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:58,821
Whereas the south, it's just
kind of that much more rugged,

408
00:17:58,845 --> 00:18:01,265
The mountains are that
much taller, the scenery's...

409
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:03,250
Just everything's a
little bigger and grander.

410
00:18:03,274 --> 00:18:05,594
- Down here in the south.
- Ooh, I smell those sheep!

411
00:18:05,618 --> 00:18:08,536
- That's beautiful.
- Run!

412
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,258
- I see the ocean over there!
- Yeah, here we go, boys.

413
00:18:16,696 --> 00:18:20,025
- Whoo!
- I mean, this is stunning.

414
00:18:20,049 --> 00:18:22,945
- Absolutely stunning.
- Look up on the hill on your right.

415
00:18:22,969 --> 00:18:25,380
Do you see all the dirt
where there's no vegetation?

416
00:18:25,404 --> 00:18:25,651
Yeah.

417
00:18:25,675 --> 00:18:27,382
Yeah, that's all slid
from the earthquake.

418
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:31,386
- Wow!
- My god! You're kidding! Whoa!

419
00:18:31,410 --> 00:18:34,190
So, off on your left, you can
see where that massive landslide.

420
00:18:34,214 --> 00:18:36,283
Has come down, and that
was one of the major spots.

421
00:18:36,307 --> 00:18:39,325
- Where they had to fix, as well.
- That is huge!

422
00:18:40,978 --> 00:18:43,465
Two minutes and twenty seconds.

423
00:18:43,489 --> 00:18:47,328
In 2016, that's all
mother nature needed.

424
00:18:47,352 --> 00:18:49,480
To forever reshape this island,

425
00:18:49,504 --> 00:18:51,390
As a 7.8 earthquake.

426
00:18:51,414 --> 00:18:54,443
Violently thrust the
earth up from the ocean.

427
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:58,847
80,000 landslides ensued,
leveling homes and roads.

428
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:01,305
And sweeping the
main railway into the sea.

429
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,995
New Zealand has always been...

430
00:19:05,019 --> 00:19:06,622
Had some trouble
with earthquakes.

431
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:09,366
We are right on the middle
of two tectonic plates.

432
00:19:09,390 --> 00:19:11,735
It's something that we
live with all our lives.

433
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,428
It can happen
anywhere, any time.

434
00:19:13,452 --> 00:19:15,153
It's just the world we live in.

435
00:19:18,091 --> 00:19:20,236
So this years ago, and
they're still rebuilding it,

436
00:19:20,260 --> 00:19:22,760
Just to show what
a huge project it is.

437
00:19:24,322 --> 00:19:27,685
Life in the south island is
defined by its remoteness,

438
00:19:27,709 --> 00:19:31,446
But sometimes a place's
appeal becomes its burden.

439
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:33,599
The people who live here
seem to have made peace.

440
00:19:33,623 --> 00:19:36,193
With that tradeoff.

441
00:19:36,217 --> 00:19:37,844
So, there's a good
pull-out up here.

442
00:19:37,868 --> 00:19:39,771
You can see the seals
down laying on the rocks.

443
00:19:39,795 --> 00:19:41,179
Yeah!

444
00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:44,610
I did see some.

445
00:19:44,634 --> 00:19:46,284
Yeah.

446
00:19:49,564 --> 00:19:51,691
- What?
- Are you kidding me?

447
00:19:51,715 --> 00:19:55,320
Seals... that's so awesome.

448
00:19:55,344 --> 00:19:57,623
- If I was a seal, I'd live right here.
- Yeah, man. Look at this spot.

449
00:19:57,647 --> 00:19:59,416
- It's a good spot, right?
- Yeah, right?

450
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,777
Look at this guy down in this
little pool swimming around.

451
00:20:01,801 --> 00:20:03,721
- Yeah.
- There's a few of them down there.

452
00:20:03,745 --> 00:20:08,792
Yeah. You guys are
so lazy, all of you.

453
00:20:08,816 --> 00:20:12,212
I think we need to get a
selfie with the seals, guys.

454
00:20:12,236 --> 00:20:14,473
Awesome.

455
00:20:14,497 --> 00:20:16,400
You live in a pretty
part of the world.

456
00:20:16,424 --> 00:20:18,260
- We're pretty blessed.
- What a pleasure to meet you.

457
00:20:18,284 --> 00:20:19,962
- What an honor to meet you guys.
- Yeah.

458
00:20:19,986 --> 00:20:21,813
Thank you for, taking
time to ride with us and...

459
00:20:21,837 --> 00:20:23,465
Dude, you're awesome. Yeah.

460
00:20:23,489 --> 00:20:25,723
All right, man, thank
you so much for your time.

461
00:20:27,134 --> 00:20:29,896
- Yeah, that mike was a good guy.
- Yeah.

462
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,901
I just want to go down there
and take a nap with those seals.

463
00:20:34,925 --> 00:20:36,662
It took nearly 14 months,

464
00:20:36,686 --> 00:20:39,215
But thanks to ingenuity
and a little resilience,

465
00:20:39,239 --> 00:20:42,993
Today the road through
kaikoura is open for travel.

466
00:20:43,017 --> 00:20:45,785
- What great roads to ride on.
- Whoo!

467
00:20:50,959 --> 00:20:53,450
Whoo!

468
00:20:58,299 --> 00:21:01,536
I got to say, this might
put pch to shame right here.

469
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,930
Yeah. It's just spectacular.

470
00:21:03,954 --> 00:21:06,784
Every time you round a
corner, it's just breathtaking.

471
00:21:06,808 --> 00:21:08,777
Yeah. Truly.

472
00:21:08,801 --> 00:21:11,396
We're headed to the hills
for some off-road adventure,

473
00:21:11,420 --> 00:21:13,204
But turns out.

474
00:21:14,874 --> 00:21:16,576
The joke's on us.

475
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,480
Yikes.

476
00:21:19,504 --> 00:21:21,078
Yeah, it's going to rain.

477
00:21:23,974 --> 00:21:28,222
It's starting to rain a little.
My glasses are all wet.

478
00:21:28,246 --> 00:21:30,663
Been through it all on
this trip, let me tell you.

479
00:21:32,399 --> 00:21:35,204
Rain, sleet, highways,

480
00:21:35,228 --> 00:21:37,572
Falling rocks, earthquakes.

481
00:21:37,596 --> 00:21:40,501
The only thing we didn't
tackle on this show was snow.

482
00:21:40,525 --> 00:21:42,407
Wait a second.

483
00:21:45,379 --> 00:21:47,223
At least it's pretty.

484
00:21:47,247 --> 00:21:49,994
Whoa. This is amazing.

485
00:21:50,018 --> 00:21:52,812
For generations, the lifeblood
of the new Zealand economy.

486
00:21:52,836 --> 00:21:55,165
Has been farming, but today,

487
00:21:55,189 --> 00:21:58,360
Old family farms are finding
new life through other means.

488
00:21:58,384 --> 00:22:00,229
- Hello.
- How are you?

489
00:22:00,253 --> 00:22:02,581
- I'm good. I'm Norman. Hi.
- Hi. Alistair's my name.

490
00:22:02,605 --> 00:22:04,991
- Nice to meet you Alistair.
- Hello.

491
00:22:05,015 --> 00:22:07,236
- So this is your spread right here.
- It is, yes.

492
00:22:07,260 --> 00:22:09,305
- Well, how long you had this for?
- Three generations.

493
00:22:09,329 --> 00:22:11,307
- Wow.
- So you just got it.

494
00:22:11,331 --> 00:22:13,592
Yes.

495
00:22:13,616 --> 00:22:16,887
Yeah, no, my grandparents
got it in the early 1900s.

496
00:22:16,911 --> 00:22:19,172
So we're going
to do the utv tour.

497
00:22:19,196 --> 00:22:21,756
- All right, cool. I'm excited, yeah.
- Let's go. Good job. Okay.

498
00:22:23,117 --> 00:22:25,228
- Is that your kitty-cat?
- That's one of them.

499
00:22:25,252 --> 00:22:27,847
Yeah, yeah, we
can give you three.

500
00:22:27,871 --> 00:22:29,925
- No, I got a cat.
- My cat's an ass.

501
00:22:29,949 --> 00:22:32,018
He would be so mad at
me. Here, I'll sit in the back.

502
00:22:32,042 --> 00:22:34,112
- Dylan, jump in the front.
- Wow.

503
00:22:34,136 --> 00:22:36,189
Hey, Alistair, am
I going to barf?

504
00:22:36,213 --> 00:22:38,450
- Is there a barf bag in here somewhere?
- Right in the middle.

505
00:22:38,474 --> 00:22:41,211
My dog likes to go in
here when he throws up.

506
00:22:41,235 --> 00:22:43,638
In the console.

507
00:22:43,662 --> 00:22:46,108
Yeah, this is where... where
all the business happens.

508
00:22:46,132 --> 00:22:49,533
- Here we go, guys.
- I'm scared.

509
00:22:52,346 --> 00:22:54,683
Man, all the mud's
hitting me back here.

510
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:56,468
Wow, look how pretty this is!

511
00:22:56,492 --> 00:22:59,410
Whoo! Alistair!

512
00:23:01,789 --> 00:23:05,152
You do have a really nice
piece of property, Alistair.

513
00:23:05,176 --> 00:23:06,719
That was the
greatest thing ever.

514
00:23:06,743 --> 00:23:08,814
That was awesome.
That was so fun.

515
00:23:08,838 --> 00:23:10,857
- Can I drive?
- No.

516
00:23:10,881 --> 00:23:13,819
- Let me drive.
- No. Definitely not.

517
00:23:13,843 --> 00:23:17,230
- Let me, Alistair.
- Not likely.

518
00:23:17,254 --> 00:23:21,473
- Not likely.
- I demand you let me drive.

519
00:23:23,561 --> 00:23:25,506
- Right, Alistair?
- Yeah, no, no, no.

520
00:23:25,530 --> 00:23:28,092
Do you want to hop out,
guys, and have a look around?

521
00:23:28,116 --> 00:23:31,128
Wow, this is great.

522
00:23:31,152 --> 00:23:34,131
Careful.

523
00:23:34,155 --> 00:23:36,158
- How big is this place you got?
- 1,600 acres.

524
00:23:36,182 --> 00:23:39,553
- My gerd.
- Your gardener bill must be enormous.

525
00:23:39,577 --> 00:23:42,013
Wow, what do you do
with all this property?

526
00:23:42,037 --> 00:23:43,941
- Like, how do you maintain it?
- Sheep... sheep and beef.

527
00:23:43,965 --> 00:23:46,259
- So you have cows, too?
- Yep, and tourism.

528
00:23:46,283 --> 00:23:47,796
Tourism's a big, big... I mean,
because of the landscape.

529
00:23:47,820 --> 00:23:48,445
Yep. It's a big thing.

530
00:23:48,469 --> 00:23:50,335
For new Zealand. It's
a big, big thing, yep.

531
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:50,647
Yeah.

532
00:23:50,671 --> 00:23:53,024
- Did you feel the earthquake here?
- What, the kaikoura one?

533
00:23:53,048 --> 00:23:55,085
- Yeah. Is that... is that the big one?
- Yep.

534
00:23:55,109 --> 00:23:57,103
The fault line is just...
Just over the hill here.

535
00:23:57,127 --> 00:23:59,272
- Wow.
- We were pretty much sitting on top of it.

536
00:23:59,296 --> 00:24:00,781
We thought we were
going to meet the maker.

537
00:24:00,805 --> 00:24:01,107
Really?

538
00:24:01,131 --> 00:24:03,127
It was horrendous.
Absolutely horrendous.

539
00:24:03,151 --> 00:24:04,870
You can hear it coming,
coming through the hills.

540
00:24:04,894 --> 00:24:06,705
You could hear it
jumping a series of faults,

541
00:24:06,729 --> 00:24:08,732
And then it hits
the house... bang.

542
00:24:08,756 --> 00:24:10,584
Bang. Bang.

543
00:24:10,608 --> 00:24:13,670
You could hear everything
just destroying itself.

544
00:24:13,694 --> 00:24:17,307
I never really think of earthquakes
as something you can hear.

545
00:24:17,331 --> 00:24:19,217
- They are really noisy.
- That's crazy.

546
00:24:19,241 --> 00:24:21,145
You get a big one like that,
they are really, really noisy.

547
00:24:21,169 --> 00:24:23,455
Yeah. Definitely
look at the landscape.

548
00:24:23,479 --> 00:24:24,964
- Completely different, especially...
- You should.

549
00:24:24,988 --> 00:24:26,808
Look at the whole
earth different after that.

550
00:24:26,832 --> 00:24:29,528
Yeah.

551
00:24:29,552 --> 00:24:32,823
Our planet gives,
but it also takes away,

552
00:24:32,847 --> 00:24:36,401
And seeing it's power up
close, you begin to understand.

553
00:24:36,425 --> 00:24:38,945
The respect given to
it by a people isolated.

554
00:24:38,969 --> 00:24:42,391
In their far-off
corner of the world.

555
00:24:42,415 --> 00:24:43,754
Thank you for having
us. This is awesome here.

556
00:24:43,778 --> 00:24:44,317
Don't mention it.

557
00:24:44,341 --> 00:24:46,174
Thank you, Alistair.

558
00:24:53,201 --> 00:24:56,204
Japan is the land
of the rising sun,

559
00:24:56,228 --> 00:25:00,500
But thanks to the earth's tilt,
every morning, new zealanders.

560
00:25:00,524 --> 00:25:02,866
Are the first to welcome
the incoming day.

561
00:25:06,363 --> 00:25:08,692
But on day three,
it's just a relief.

562
00:25:08,716 --> 00:25:11,344
That there's finally
sun to wake up to.

563
00:25:11,368 --> 00:25:14,531
This is the best part. This
is my wake-up right here.

564
00:25:14,555 --> 00:25:16,775
Yeah. It's nice to
wake up like this?

565
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,207
First ride in the
morning is my favorite.

566
00:25:20,761 --> 00:25:22,355
You know what's
cool about riding?

567
00:25:22,379 --> 00:25:25,075
When you can get into
the zone of not thinking.

568
00:25:25,099 --> 00:25:27,549
I spend most of
my day not thinking.

569
00:25:37,161 --> 00:25:39,056
Look at those
mountains up ahead.

570
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,596
Wow! This is just stunning!

571
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:45,595
Leaving kaikoura, we're on a
96-kilometer ride southwest.

572
00:25:45,619 --> 00:25:48,662
To the hills of hurunui,
straight into sheep country.

573
00:25:55,912 --> 00:25:58,597
- Ooh, I smell those sheep.
- I love it.

574
00:26:01,269 --> 00:26:03,947
The grass is always
growing in new Zealand,

575
00:26:03,971 --> 00:26:07,167
Grass for pasturage on
which sheep can feed.

576
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:09,545
It's from it's animal products.

577
00:26:09,569 --> 00:26:12,811
That much of new
zealand's income is derived.

578
00:26:16,933 --> 00:26:20,589
New Zealand originally was
a dairy and sheep country.

579
00:26:20,613 --> 00:26:22,349
It identifies us as a nation.

580
00:26:22,373 --> 00:26:24,851
Basically, yeah, we've
got sheep everywhere.

581
00:26:24,875 --> 00:26:27,563
I've put on my snow gear.

582
00:26:27,587 --> 00:26:29,180
Yeah, what's all this for?

583
00:26:29,204 --> 00:26:31,850
Well, every time we do a
scene and there's wild animals,

584
00:26:31,874 --> 00:26:34,185
And then I smell them
on the airplane home.

585
00:26:34,209 --> 00:26:36,001
- I see.
- But not this time.

586
00:26:39,131 --> 00:26:41,225
So what do you guys do up
here? It's a sheep farm, right?

587
00:26:41,249 --> 00:26:44,204
Yeah. We've got merino sheep
that grow this beautiful wool.

588
00:26:44,228 --> 00:26:46,606
A good sort of product
that we are producing, so...

589
00:26:46,630 --> 00:26:48,292
How long have you
been doing this here?

590
00:26:48,316 --> 00:26:50,018
I've been here all my life.

591
00:26:50,042 --> 00:26:52,037
Yeah, we're about
fourth generation, so...

592
00:26:52,061 --> 00:26:54,189
- Fifth.
- Fifth.

593
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:56,780
No, he said who... who does
all the work here, he said?

594
00:26:58,567 --> 00:27:00,787
Yeah, you got flip-flops on.

595
00:27:00,811 --> 00:27:02,864
- Yeah.
- Who is this guy? What's his name?

596
00:27:02,888 --> 00:27:05,601
- That's Kate.
- She's a beauty.

597
00:27:05,625 --> 00:27:07,394
Wow!

598
00:27:07,418 --> 00:27:09,563
And they're loud,
and they're robust.

599
00:27:09,587 --> 00:27:12,087
Do they herd the sheep?

600
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:25,996
- Mia, Jess. Mia.
- Whoa!

601
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:28,406
My god. That's amazing.

602
00:27:28,430 --> 00:27:30,058
Mia!

603
00:27:30,082 --> 00:27:31,926
Set.

604
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:34,654
- My god, she can hear you.
- Jess, come back. Jess, come back.

605
00:27:34,678 --> 00:27:37,633
I can't even get my cat
to not pee on the couch.

606
00:27:37,657 --> 00:27:39,167
Like, how do you do this?

607
00:27:39,191 --> 00:27:41,361
That's where you're
going wrong. You got a cat.

608
00:27:41,385 --> 00:27:43,797
Well, that's... that's
the first mistake.

609
00:27:43,821 --> 00:27:46,424
Will the dog take
command from anyone else?

610
00:27:46,448 --> 00:27:48,518
Just sing out, "mia"
and see what happens.

611
00:27:48,542 --> 00:27:51,337
- What's "mia" mean?
- Another word for "here," sort of thing.

612
00:27:51,361 --> 00:27:52,914
- You know? Like "come here."
- can I say it?

613
00:27:52,938 --> 00:27:54,399
- Yeah, well, try it.
- Mia!

614
00:27:54,423 --> 00:27:56,918
- Just say, "mia, Jess."
- mia, Jess.

615
00:27:56,942 --> 00:27:58,862
- Nothing.
- Oi.

616
00:27:58,886 --> 00:28:01,381
- Mia, Jess.
- Jess, come on.

617
00:28:01,405 --> 00:28:03,733
- Shish kabob.
- Jess, come on?

618
00:28:03,757 --> 00:28:06,595
- Jess, come on.
- Jess, come on.

619
00:28:06,619 --> 00:28:08,446
Through.

620
00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:10,523
Mia.

621
00:28:10,547 --> 00:28:12,764
Jess, come on.

622
00:28:17,146 --> 00:28:20,575
We've sort of gone
back, tracking to 1884,

623
00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:23,278
So that's when the
farm, came into the family.

624
00:28:23,302 --> 00:28:25,614
It's all about, um, sort
of living off the land.

625
00:28:25,638 --> 00:28:27,090
So, these guys will be out.

626
00:28:27,114 --> 00:28:29,451
Grazing in the
fields all their life.

627
00:28:29,475 --> 00:28:31,520
And there's a huge
demand for merino wool.

628
00:28:31,544 --> 00:28:33,480
And, obviously, sustainable
products at the moment.

629
00:28:33,504 --> 00:28:36,066
It's cool to be a part of
that bigger story, as well.

630
00:28:36,090 --> 00:28:38,966
- Well, do you guys want to come help?
- Yeah, what do we do?

631
00:28:57,677 --> 00:28:59,739
And now you can stop.

632
00:28:59,763 --> 00:29:02,074
This might work with my cat.

633
00:29:02,098 --> 00:29:03,944
- This farm life, bro, this is you.
- I'm telling you,

634
00:29:03,968 --> 00:29:05,962
- This is me, right?
- See if you can get the hang of this.

635
00:29:05,986 --> 00:29:08,414
So this is where we, um... when
we're gonna shear the sheep.

636
00:29:08,438 --> 00:29:11,501
Well, this is what you...
You end up doing, like that.

637
00:29:11,525 --> 00:29:13,954
But then you take all the bits
and pieces that are no good.

638
00:29:13,978 --> 00:29:16,255
- How do you know what's good?
- So that... so these are...

639
00:29:16,279 --> 00:29:17,733
- So this is the good stuff?
- Yeah.

640
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:19,184
Yeah. Well, that's...
That's... that's the length.

641
00:29:19,208 --> 00:29:20,836
You want and
things like that, so...

642
00:29:20,860 --> 00:29:22,362
This is a lot longer,
and that's a bit shorter.

643
00:29:22,386 --> 00:29:24,013
It's so soft.

644
00:29:24,037 --> 00:29:27,192
The best wool goes into
making the high-end leisurewear,

645
00:29:27,216 --> 00:29:29,027
And we produce some
of the best in the world.

646
00:29:29,051 --> 00:29:30,862
- Thank you so much for this.
- Okay.

647
00:29:30,886 --> 00:29:32,530
- No, it's been great having you.
- Yeah, this is very informative.

648
00:29:32,554 --> 00:29:34,699
- Nice to meet you. Thanks man.
- No worries. Pleasure.

649
00:29:34,723 --> 00:29:37,285
- Safe travels.
- What is the kiwi attitude?

650
00:29:37,309 --> 00:29:39,204
- Give it a go. Give it a go.
- Give it a go.

651
00:29:39,228 --> 00:29:42,373
Whoo!

652
00:29:42,397 --> 00:29:45,574
- Power of the wind.
- Yeah, baby!

653
00:29:48,928 --> 00:29:51,183
Are you guys supposed
to be in school?

654
00:29:51,207 --> 00:29:52,959
Yeah. Okay.

655
00:29:52,983 --> 00:29:54,460
What is that? What
does that mean?

656
00:29:54,484 --> 00:29:56,846
Education outside the classroom.

657
00:29:56,870 --> 00:29:58,440
- What are you learning right now?
- Um, Rollerblade.

658
00:29:58,464 --> 00:30:00,350
- To Rollerblade.
- Really?

659
00:30:00,374 --> 00:30:01,825
Do you want some help?
You want me to help you?

660
00:30:01,849 --> 00:30:02,060
Okay.

661
00:30:02,084 --> 00:30:03,803
- You got it?
- Go, Lauren.

662
00:30:03,827 --> 00:30:05,263
Come on, we got this.

663
00:30:05,287 --> 00:30:07,032
So this is a class at school?

664
00:30:07,056 --> 00:30:09,050
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- How lucky are you guys?

665
00:30:09,074 --> 00:30:11,936
- Yeah, what a great class.
- If you fall down, do you fail?

666
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,647
- Yeah. No. No.
- You're doing really well, though.

667
00:30:14,671 --> 00:30:16,558
- There's some more people.
- You're kind of kicking butt.

668
00:30:16,582 --> 00:30:17,793
- Right now, all of you.
- There, yeah.

669
00:30:17,817 --> 00:30:19,285
- There's your friends.
- Hey, we're doing.

670
00:30:19,309 --> 00:30:20,653
Way better than you guys.

671
00:30:20,677 --> 00:30:22,113
You're holding on
to the trash cans.

672
00:30:22,137 --> 00:30:25,291
- We're doing great!
- We'll let you go.

673
00:30:25,315 --> 00:30:27,252
- Bye, guys.
- Bye.

674
00:30:27,276 --> 00:30:29,571
They all went down.

675
00:30:29,595 --> 00:30:33,330
C-minus, c-minus.
And they're safe.

676
00:30:39,029 --> 00:30:41,173
In new Zealand, the
only thing stronger.

677
00:30:41,197 --> 00:30:43,106
Than the accents is the wind.

678
00:30:44,944 --> 00:30:47,294
There's that wind. Whoo!

679
00:30:48,797 --> 00:30:51,281
Whoa, that wind is crazy. Whoo!

680
00:30:53,051 --> 00:30:54,371
Holy.

681
00:30:54,395 --> 00:30:55,780
Wow!

682
00:30:55,804 --> 00:30:57,740
Yeah, that's windy.

683
00:30:57,764 --> 00:31:01,527
Now we got sprinklers.

684
00:31:01,551 --> 00:31:02,809
Pissed all over me.

685
00:31:06,574 --> 00:31:08,944
From hurunui, we're
in the home stretch.

686
00:31:08,968 --> 00:31:12,094
A final 84-kilometer
ride to Christchurch.

687
00:31:15,916 --> 00:31:17,727
The south island
wind is no joke,

688
00:31:17,751 --> 00:31:19,795
But sculptor Phil price
knows a thing or two.

689
00:31:19,819 --> 00:31:21,547
About how to wrangle it.

690
00:31:21,571 --> 00:31:23,291
- Hey.
- Hey.

691
00:31:23,315 --> 00:31:24,901
- How's it going? Hi. I'm Norman.
- Hello.

692
00:31:24,925 --> 00:31:26,644
Norman, I'm Phil. Nice to
meet you -nice to meet you, Phil.

693
00:31:26,668 --> 00:31:28,563
- Phil. I'm Dylan. How are you?
- I'm very well.

694
00:31:28,587 --> 00:31:30,982
For over 20 years, he's
been harnessing its power.

695
00:31:31,006 --> 00:31:32,859
And turning it into art.

696
00:31:32,883 --> 00:31:35,778
Phil's the most innovative,
kinetic sculptor today,

697
00:31:35,802 --> 00:31:38,573
And he's also a vintage
motorcycle enthusiast.

698
00:31:38,597 --> 00:31:41,275
We keep sculptures, and I
keep asking if they're yours.

699
00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:43,253
Yeah, well, they've got a look.

700
00:31:43,277 --> 00:31:45,237
- Are they all wind.
- Wind.

701
00:31:45,261 --> 00:31:47,048
- They're all wind. Okay.
- Yeah, yeah. Wind and simple, you know?

702
00:31:47,072 --> 00:31:49,075
Is it fiberglass?
What is it? Metal?

703
00:31:49,099 --> 00:31:51,410
Well, I've started making
them out of carbon fiber.

704
00:31:51,434 --> 00:31:53,338
Well, you know,
like, just to get the

705
00:31:53,362 --> 00:31:58,994
'cause carbon's real
light, you know, and it's...

706
00:31:59,018 --> 00:32:01,346
You can make any shape
you want, you know, and, um...

707
00:32:01,370 --> 00:32:03,832
- This is great.
- So I just... yeah, just...

708
00:32:03,856 --> 00:32:05,716
It's... it's a more
natural movement.

709
00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:07,218
It's more like ballet.

710
00:32:07,242 --> 00:32:08,928
No motors, no brakes.

711
00:32:08,952 --> 00:32:11,172
Just wind and balance and form.

712
00:32:11,196 --> 00:32:12,941
There's another one
further down which is...

713
00:32:12,965 --> 00:32:14,525
This is amazing.

714
00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:17,012
This is a kind of a
thing that I call it a tree.

715
00:32:17,036 --> 00:32:19,097
- Can I touch it?
- For sure, yeah, yeah.

716
00:32:19,121 --> 00:32:21,516
- No, they're resilient.
- And they all move?

717
00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:23,184
- Yeah, yeah, so it's...
- Wow.

718
00:32:23,208 --> 00:32:26,537
I think this one's got like 20

719
00:32:26,561 --> 00:32:29,457
20-something
moving parts, and so...

720
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:31,526
- That's so light.
- Yeah.

721
00:32:31,550 --> 00:32:34,379
- Wow.
- So when it gets a bit of a breeze,

722
00:32:34,403 --> 00:32:36,965
- It starts going, and.
- - -It's... it's really...

723
00:32:36,989 --> 00:32:40,584
- It's got this molecular sort of...
- Yeah.

724
00:32:40,608 --> 00:32:42,646
- Yeah.
- It's great.

725
00:32:42,670 --> 00:32:45,373
I'm surprised you don't
do a whole theme park.

726
00:32:45,397 --> 00:32:48,151
Yeah, really. Now,
what about weather?

727
00:32:48,175 --> 00:32:51,062
Well, they're
made to be outside.

728
00:32:51,086 --> 00:32:52,972
I mean, I've had
these out in the field.

729
00:32:52,996 --> 00:32:55,492
For, well, 20 years,
and they still go.

730
00:32:55,516 --> 00:32:58,236
So...

731
00:32:58,260 --> 00:33:00,321
What a beautiful bike.

732
00:33:00,345 --> 00:33:03,199
I was interested in motorbikes.

733
00:33:03,223 --> 00:33:06,911
Far before I was interested in
making mechanical sculptures.

734
00:33:06,935 --> 00:33:08,588
These are beautiful.
What are these?

735
00:33:08,612 --> 00:33:11,958
These are velocettes,
which are English.

736
00:33:11,982 --> 00:33:13,835
This thing's been
around the isle of man.

737
00:33:13,859 --> 00:33:15,586
At 92 mile and hour.

738
00:33:15,610 --> 00:33:17,180
Not bad for a 250?

739
00:33:17,204 --> 00:33:18,954
You are really into
form and shape.

740
00:33:20,207 --> 00:33:21,709
What's it sound like?

741
00:33:21,733 --> 00:33:23,011
- Can you turn it on?
- Hey, we'll start one.

742
00:33:23,035 --> 00:33:24,960
- Give us a push, Norman.
- Yeah, for sure.

743
00:33:48,384 --> 00:33:51,214
What? Wow! It's so,

744
00:33:51,238 --> 00:33:55,301
It's... it's so throaty, you
can feel it in your ribcage.

745
00:33:55,325 --> 00:33:57,545
- That's racing.
- Wow!

746
00:33:57,569 --> 00:33:59,803
Can the three of us get on?

747
00:34:01,248 --> 00:34:02,809
Dude, this is crazy.

748
00:34:02,833 --> 00:34:04,469
I like being this
low, like the...

749
00:34:04,493 --> 00:34:06,980
- You look perfect on that bike.
- I love it.

750
00:34:07,004 --> 00:34:09,232
Dude, this is beautiful.
You have a great life. Yeah.

751
00:34:09,256 --> 00:34:11,383
Yeah, you do. Such a
pleasure to meet you guys.

752
00:34:11,407 --> 00:34:14,604
- Thank you so much.
- Thanks for letting me ride your bike.

753
00:34:14,628 --> 00:34:16,845
- Have a good one, man.
- See you later.

754
00:34:18,824 --> 00:34:20,318
What are you thinking,
Dylan? Are you loving it?

755
00:34:20,342 --> 00:34:22,487
- He's so talented.
- And supercool.

756
00:34:22,511 --> 00:34:22,841
Right?

757
00:34:22,865 --> 00:34:24,989
Yeah, I was a fan of
his the minute I met him.

758
00:34:25,013 --> 00:34:27,417
I see the ocean over there.

759
00:34:27,441 --> 00:34:29,235
Dylan, what is
blokarting exactly?

760
00:34:29,259 --> 00:34:30,920
- Have you ever done this?
- I don't know what that is.

761
00:34:30,944 --> 00:34:33,089
So many fricking
activities in this country.

762
00:34:33,113 --> 00:34:34,957
Yeah.

763
00:34:34,981 --> 00:34:37,093
It's incredible what you
can do with a lot of wind.

764
00:34:37,117 --> 00:34:39,078
And a little imagination,

765
00:34:39,102 --> 00:34:41,990
And in new Zealand, there
is an abundance of both.

766
00:34:42,014 --> 00:34:43,883
From bungee
jumping to jet boating.

767
00:34:43,907 --> 00:34:45,769
To zip lining and zorbing,

768
00:34:45,793 --> 00:34:48,679
Kiwis are famous for
their daredevil antics.

769
00:34:48,703 --> 00:34:52,067
It's no wonder this is the
birthplace of adventure sports.

770
00:34:52,091 --> 00:34:54,069
Hi. I'm ian.

771
00:34:54,093 --> 00:34:56,095
- I'm Norman. Nice to meet you, man.
- Norman, nice to meet you.

772
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:58,147
- How are you? Dylan.
- Dylan, hi. Good to meet you.

773
00:34:58,171 --> 00:34:58,564
Hello, ian.

774
00:34:58,588 --> 00:35:00,033
Nice to meet you.
What's going on out here?

775
00:35:00,057 --> 00:35:01,951
This is a little,
kiwi invention.

776
00:35:01,975 --> 00:35:03,745
That was developed
by a new zealander.

777
00:35:03,769 --> 00:35:06,539
By the name of Paul
Beckett about 20 years ago.

778
00:35:06,563 --> 00:35:08,625
Let me ask you, is it...
It's really windy right now.

779
00:35:08,649 --> 00:35:10,776
Is this good for
this or horrible?

780
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,945
Yeah, we... we... we
ordered this one for you.

781
00:35:12,969 --> 00:35:14,614
So this is exactly what
you want, right here?

782
00:35:14,638 --> 00:35:15,206
Yeah. Perfect.

783
00:35:15,230 --> 00:35:17,217
Why do you think
these extreme sports.

784
00:35:17,241 --> 00:35:19,360
Get invented in new Zealand?

785
00:35:19,384 --> 00:35:21,453
- It's just the kiwi attitude, isn't it?
- Yeah.

786
00:35:21,477 --> 00:35:23,698
What is the kiwi attitude?

787
00:35:23,722 --> 00:35:25,700
- Give it a go. Give it a go.
- Give it a go.

788
00:35:25,724 --> 00:35:26,957
- Give it a go.
- Have a try.

789
00:35:29,369 --> 00:35:32,190
And then just head down
towards the right there a little bit.

790
00:35:32,214 --> 00:35:35,382
This is awesome.

791
00:35:36,993 --> 00:35:40,022
Ha ha ha! Whoo!

792
00:35:40,046 --> 00:35:44,099
Whoo-hoo! Yeah, now
we got some speed going.

793
00:35:45,661 --> 00:35:48,823
Wow, dude, I'm flying
on this thing right now.

794
00:35:48,847 --> 00:35:51,000
Power of the wind.

795
00:35:51,024 --> 00:35:53,419
- Two wheels.
- Did you see that.

796
00:35:53,443 --> 00:35:56,488
This mother playing
chicken with me.

797
00:35:56,512 --> 00:35:58,758
Hoo!

798
00:35:58,782 --> 00:36:01,533
Yeah, baby!

799
00:36:03,862 --> 00:36:06,332
- Let's have a race.
- Okay. Let's go, punk.

800
00:36:06,356 --> 00:36:10,078
- You want some of this blue sail?
- You want to play? Let's play!

801
00:36:10,102 --> 00:36:11,701
Come on!

802
00:36:15,132 --> 00:36:16,568
Ooh!

803
00:36:16,592 --> 00:36:18,695
Coming to get you now.

804
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,443
Hey!

805
00:36:22,181 --> 00:36:24,534
- Hey!
- Are you trying to kill me?

806
00:36:24,558 --> 00:36:27,028
Crazy Dylan in full
effect over here.

807
00:36:27,052 --> 00:36:28,876
Whoo!

808
00:36:37,312 --> 00:36:40,708
Whoo!

809
00:36:40,732 --> 00:36:43,494
Yeah, it's totally
insane. My god.

810
00:36:43,518 --> 00:36:45,254
I found my calling.

811
00:36:45,278 --> 00:36:47,724
I'm a blokartist.

812
00:36:47,748 --> 00:36:49,767
Who went faster?

813
00:36:49,791 --> 00:36:51,583
I think I did, right?

814
00:36:53,245 --> 00:36:54,856
I got up on two wheels.

815
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,041
Yeah, but I was going
so much faster than you.

816
00:36:57,065 --> 00:36:59,377
Were you? It's 'cause
you're heavier than me.

817
00:36:59,401 --> 00:37:01,637
That's fun, though. That
was really awesome.

818
00:37:01,661 --> 00:37:03,298
- You did really well. That was awesome.
- Yeah.

819
00:37:03,322 --> 00:37:04,657
Thank you so much. I love it.

820
00:37:04,681 --> 00:37:06,442
Now you're wearing
what's called the blokart grin.

821
00:37:06,466 --> 00:37:08,077
So, yeah.

822
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,979
Like the joker grin
a little, you know?

823
00:37:10,003 --> 00:37:11,372
Yeah, it was great.
Thank you so much.

824
00:37:11,396 --> 00:37:13,950
- All right.
- That was awesome.

825
00:37:13,974 --> 00:37:16,285
With perfectly windswept hair,

826
00:37:16,309 --> 00:37:18,421
We're ready to head into
the heart of Christchurch.

827
00:37:18,445 --> 00:37:20,987
To see what the
city is all about.

828
00:37:33,352 --> 00:37:35,663
- New zealand's great.
- It really is.

829
00:37:35,687 --> 00:37:38,166
Christchurch is such
a crazy name to me.

830
00:37:38,190 --> 00:37:39,350
Yeah.

831
00:37:39,374 --> 00:37:41,277
It sounds so powerful.

832
00:37:41,301 --> 00:37:42,959
It does, doesn't it?

833
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,530
That's his sculpture.

834
00:37:52,554 --> 00:37:53,790
Yeah, that is his
sculpture. You're right.

835
00:37:53,814 --> 00:37:55,199
That's his
sculpture right there.

836
00:37:55,223 --> 00:37:57,752
You're totally
right. Just beautiful.

837
00:37:57,776 --> 00:38:01,022
The push and pull of
nature is all too familiar.

838
00:38:01,046 --> 00:38:02,707
To most new zealanders,

839
00:38:02,731 --> 00:38:05,139
And Christchurch
is no exception.

840
00:38:12,198 --> 00:38:14,811
It's still rebuilding from
a 2011 earthquake.

841
00:38:14,835 --> 00:38:18,898
That demolished almost
80% of the city center.

842
00:38:18,922 --> 00:38:21,401
Despite the number
it did on infrastructure,

843
00:38:21,425 --> 00:38:23,736
The city's spirit
remains intact,

844
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,548
And we're stopping at a spot
where that's on full display.

845
00:38:27,572 --> 00:38:29,742
There it is.

846
00:38:29,766 --> 00:38:31,327
I like the name... smash palace.

847
00:38:31,351 --> 00:38:33,476
That's cool.

848
00:38:35,388 --> 00:38:37,825
- How's it going? Hello.
- Welcome.

849
00:38:37,849 --> 00:38:39,243
- Nice to meet you. Dylan.
- Nice to meet you, too.

850
00:38:39,267 --> 00:38:41,229
- Hi, Norman. How you doing?
- This is griffin,

851
00:38:41,253 --> 00:38:42,297
- I've told you, my German shepherd.
- This is a great place.

852
00:38:42,321 --> 00:38:43,822
- You have here.
- I do.

853
00:38:43,846 --> 00:38:45,900
I used to have two
white German shepherds.

854
00:38:45,924 --> 00:38:47,635
- What a beauty.
- He's a really cool dog.

855
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:49,995
- Like a wolf.
- Yeah, yeah, he's like a wolf.

856
00:38:50,019 --> 00:38:50,276
Wow!

857
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:52,456
He's a big, mellow guy.
Well, welcome, guys.

858
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,033
- Welcome to Christchurch.
- Yeah, thanks for having us.

859
00:38:54,057 --> 00:38:55,760
- Yeah, thanks for coming.
- This place reminds me.

860
00:38:55,784 --> 00:38:58,003
- Of, like, Berlin or something.
- We'll take that.

861
00:38:58,027 --> 00:38:59,605
- Copenhagen or something.
- That's a compliment.

862
00:38:59,629 --> 00:39:01,340
What's the story
with this place? Like...

863
00:39:01,364 --> 00:39:03,934
Smash palace is my bar with,
um, Greg, my brother-in-law.

864
00:39:03,958 --> 00:39:05,436
Who's in here
working on the bar.

865
00:39:05,460 --> 00:39:06,946
We had a bar next door to here,

866
00:39:06,970 --> 00:39:09,607
And that fell over in the
Christchurch earthquake,

867
00:39:09,631 --> 00:39:11,868
So 2011.

868
00:39:11,892 --> 00:39:13,536
Well, funnily enough,
the building stood up,

869
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,780
But the building next
door fell on top of it, and so,

870
00:39:15,804 --> 00:39:18,357
Apart from the building
on top of it, it was fine.

871
00:39:18,381 --> 00:39:20,560
- Yeah.
- Um, and then when that fell over,

872
00:39:20,584 --> 00:39:23,104
We decided we were
going to stay in Christchurch.

873
00:39:23,128 --> 00:39:24,789
- And keep doing bars.
- Man.

874
00:39:24,813 --> 00:39:27,533
Every Thursday, we have,
you know, 50, 100 bikes up here.

875
00:39:27,557 --> 00:39:29,585
Sort of a whole
thing's grown out of it.

876
00:39:29,609 --> 00:39:31,054
New Zealand in the
'70s, you weren't allowed.

877
00:39:31,078 --> 00:39:32,963
To import much
stuff, and so everyone.

878
00:39:32,987 --> 00:39:34,540
Made everything
themself, and so...

879
00:39:34,564 --> 00:39:35,966
- Is that right?
- Yeah, a real homemade.

880
00:39:35,990 --> 00:39:37,894
Sort of style of bikes here.

881
00:39:37,918 --> 00:39:39,970
- I would love to see you ride that.
- My, god, can we?

882
00:39:39,994 --> 00:39:42,120
- That is the coolest thing ever.
- That's crazy.

883
00:39:49,912 --> 00:39:52,658
- Yeah!
- I'll take it.

884
00:39:52,682 --> 00:39:56,404
O-m-g. My god, this is little.

885
00:39:56,428 --> 00:39:58,469
Where do you put
your feet? Here we go.

886
00:40:00,756 --> 00:40:03,052
It's so tiny.

887
00:40:03,076 --> 00:40:04,475
What? Oi!

888
00:40:06,929 --> 00:40:08,947
Look at the kickstand.

889
00:40:17,273 --> 00:40:20,386
That's so weird looking.
I love it. It's fun right?

890
00:40:20,410 --> 00:40:22,371
- So fun.
- Thank you for that. That was cool.

891
00:40:22,395 --> 00:40:23,853
That's all right.

892
00:40:27,359 --> 00:40:29,812
This is going to be
messy, I can feel it.

893
00:40:29,836 --> 00:40:32,139
- Cool town.
- It is a cool town.

894
00:40:32,163 --> 00:40:33,582
- Right?
- Yeah.

895
00:40:33,606 --> 00:40:35,860
New Zealand has everything.

896
00:40:35,884 --> 00:40:37,653
- Yeah.
- You know?

897
00:40:37,677 --> 00:40:39,447
I mean, really has everything.

898
00:40:39,471 --> 00:40:42,116
The people are
nice, the land is rich.

899
00:40:42,140 --> 00:40:45,686
So many activities.
Everybody drives a motorcycle.

900
00:40:45,710 --> 00:40:47,855
- There's a lot of activities.
- A lot of activities.

901
00:40:47,879 --> 00:40:50,358
The only downside
is it's so far away.

902
00:40:50,382 --> 00:40:51,160
That's the only downside.

903
00:40:51,184 --> 00:40:52,668
Well, I think that's maybe
the upside because...

904
00:40:52,692 --> 00:40:55,954
- It could be, yeah.
- Otherwise, everybody would be here.

905
00:40:55,978 --> 00:40:57,807
- That's true.
- Right?

906
00:40:57,831 --> 00:41:00,201
Are you going to do it?

907
00:41:00,225 --> 00:41:01,585
Are you really
thinking about it?

908
00:41:01,609 --> 00:41:03,295
I'm going to do
some more research.

909
00:41:03,319 --> 00:41:05,547
- But I like it.
- I can see you here.

910
00:41:05,571 --> 00:41:07,892
All this activity
makes you hungry.

911
00:41:07,916 --> 00:41:09,877
- Yeah. It does.
- Right?

912
00:41:09,901 --> 00:41:12,046
You're right.

913
00:41:12,070 --> 00:41:13,847
Take a trip to new Zealand,

914
00:41:13,871 --> 00:41:16,848
And it isn't long before
you're under it's spell.

915
00:41:17,909 --> 00:41:20,643
Maybe it's the laid-back vibe.

916
00:41:23,523 --> 00:41:26,024
- Let's go look at the fireworks.
- Let's do it.

917
00:41:27,343 --> 00:41:31,120
Bro, we just... we
started a motorcycle club.

918
00:41:36,027 --> 00:41:38,255
This gets weirder and
greater and awesomer.

919
00:41:38,279 --> 00:41:39,907
- Right?
- Love it.

920
00:41:39,931 --> 00:41:42,351
Christchurch cavalry.

921
00:41:42,375 --> 00:41:44,929
Perhaps it's the realization
that you can always.

922
00:41:44,953 --> 00:41:48,249
Find your people no matter
how far you are from home,

923
00:41:48,273 --> 00:41:50,300
But for me, the true
essence of this place.

924
00:41:50,324 --> 00:41:52,442
Can be found outside of that.

925
00:41:55,947 --> 00:41:57,942
You might want to
hold that thought.

926
00:41:57,966 --> 00:42:01,204
Is this us?

927
00:42:01,228 --> 00:42:02,872
That's a first.

928
00:42:02,896 --> 00:42:04,932
We've never been
pulled over before.

929
00:42:04,956 --> 00:42:07,543
- Really?
- Never. This is a first.

930
00:42:07,567 --> 00:42:09,526
Everyone stay on your bikes.

931
00:42:14,241 --> 00:42:16,052
- Okay.
- There's families and kids and that.

932
00:42:16,076 --> 00:42:17,825
Absolutely. Absolutely.

933
00:42:21,414 --> 00:42:23,897
All right, cool.

934
00:42:27,312 --> 00:42:28,973
All right, now, where was I?

935
00:42:28,997 --> 00:42:30,674
Right.

936
00:42:30,698 --> 00:42:32,142
And, in a way, a reminder.

937
00:42:32,166 --> 00:42:33,769
That to coexist.

938
00:42:33,793 --> 00:42:36,511
Demands, above all, respect.

939
00:42:38,414 --> 00:42:41,015
- This is all for you, Dylan.
- Unbelievable.

940
00:42:42,543 --> 00:42:45,414
- Wow!
- Whoa!

941
00:42:45,438 --> 00:42:47,308
I got to say,
Christchurch is cool.

942
00:42:47,332 --> 00:42:48,459
- It is cool, right?
- Yeah.

943
00:42:48,483 --> 00:42:50,169
- Boom, boom, boom!
- Wow!

944
00:42:50,193 --> 00:42:52,146
- Dude, thank you for coming.
- Bro...

945
00:42:52,170 --> 00:42:54,017
Thanks so much, man.
Thanks for everything.

946
00:42:54,041 --> 00:42:54,582
Yeah, yeah.

947
00:42:54,606 --> 00:42:56,908
While Dylan may or
may not get his farm,

948
00:42:56,932 --> 00:42:58,702
The last three days
have been a lesson.

949
00:42:58,726 --> 00:43:00,629
In the magnificence
of this planet.

950
00:43:00,653 --> 00:43:02,745
- That we won't soon forget.
- Whoo!
