Episode 10 All Over the Place

Strap yourselves in, as we continue our crazy tour across the US of A.

Naomi almost becomes fish food.

Ian has a quiet night in Las Vegas.

Vegas! Whoo!

Cel doesn't quite cut the mustard.

And Johny and Ed egg each other on.

# All over the place

# All over the place...

# North, south, east, west On a bizarre quest

# Me and my mates All over the place!

# It's true what you've heard Everything is absurd

# Whatever we do is strange but true!

# All over the place

# All over the place

# Bet you didn't know this stuff's all over the States

-# But it turns up...

-All over the place #

We kick off today in the driest state,

which is sometimes known as the Silver State - Nevada.

Ed - you promised me two things today.

You said you'd show me something awesome,

and that the voiceover man couldn't find us out here.

I AM going to show you something awesome.

And the voiceover man's stopped talking. Listen...

BIRD OF PREY SCREECHES Do you know, that's quite impress...

I was just making a cuppa!

Iain, you have the hair of a badly-groomed Chihuahua.

Ed, you make sandpaper seem smooth.

Right, that's me for now. Carry on...

-How did he find us in the middle of a desert?

-How does he do that?

Oh, anyway, that's why I brought us out here.

That's the exciting thing I was telling you about.

Hang on - you can't have a city that massive in the middle of a desert.

Must be a mirage. I need some water.

Put down your cuppa and do something useful.

Tell him what we're doing here!

You're standing around looking silly - as always.

If you want water in the middle of the desert, you couldn't

have come to a better place - welcome to Las Vegas!

The city was founded in 1905,

and was a small town until the 1930s.

Then, they built a massive dam to bring water into the desert. Now...

'Ed and Ian - you have 44 seconds to find out

'as much as you can about Las Vegas.

'Ed - you have Mark, who knows all about Vegas history.

'Iain - you have Jesse, who is an Elvis impersonator and minister.

'Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner!

'Three, two, one - go!'

-Hello. What does the name Las Vegas mean?

-The Meadows.

How long have you been an Elvis impersonator?

Good lord, 20 years now, sir.

-What did it look like 100 years ago?

-A lot of desert.

-Why is Elvis so popular in Vegas?

-Because he's the King.

Why does nobody seem to walk here?

It's awfully warm and it's awfully spread out.

-Ah, right.

-How many weddings do you carry out a year?

We do about 300-400 weddings every year.

How does the city survive in the middle of the desert?

-We have water.

-Where is it come from?

-Lake Mead.

-Can you understand my Scottish accent?

-What?

-Oh, dear!

-When's the best time to see Vegas?

-Oh, at night.

-Really?

Yeah, you want to see all the lights on the strip here.

Is this a good dance move...? Oh-ho, hoh!

So, coming here at this time of day is a bit of a waste of time?

Not a waste, but not as nice as it could be.

Should have come six hours later, what was I thinking?

KLAXON SOUNDS Thanks very much, Jesse,

but I think I let the team down.

'And the person who found out the most facts is...

'Ed!'

-Yes!

-Oh!

-Hurray!

-What facts did you learn?

-Loads of good facts!

-Like what?

Er, like, the best time to see Vegas is at night?

-That's ages away.

-Yeah, I know.

-Hang on -

do you know what we need?

-The magic of television?

-Let's do it!

Ah! Right, I'm going to show you Vegas.

-Wicked. I've got my walking shoes on. Let's go.

-No, no, no.

You don't walk in Las Vegas. I've organised us some wheels.

What have you done - got us a pink Cadillac driven by Elvis?!

# Viva, Las Vegas...! #

Elvis? Check. Pink Cadillac? Check.

Time for Ed to show Iain the glitz of the main street in Vegas,

known as the strip.

Over there is a pyramid with a light coming out of it,

that you can see from space. They do it because they can!

In Vegas, anything's possible. They've got a sphinx.

It's bigger than the actual Sphinx.

They've got cities from all over the world,

-they've built New York.

-They've built New York!

-Again!

It wasn't good enough the first time, they had another go.

They've made New York 2.0, and it's better, in my opinion.

I've seen the real Statue of Liberty,

and it's not much bigger than that one.

They've got an Eiffel Tower that's nearly as big as the one in Paris.

-It's crazy.

-It's sticking out of a hotel called Paris.

They've got Caesars Palace, which is based on ancient Rome.

What do you think an ancient Roman would think if they saw all this?

-They would think, Viva Las Vegas, baby!

-Yes!

# Viva, Las Vegas...! # Vegas! Whoo!

We're not insane, we're being filmed. Don't worry about us.

-We are getting an awful lot of attention.

-Yeah.

Because of our A-list... A-list status.

Hey, guys, hi.

-I think they recognise us off CBBC.

-It might be that,

or it might be the massive pink Cadillac with Elvis driving.

No, no, I think they recognise me.

Whoo! Vegas!

If the boys get lost, they will always be able to find a room.

There are over 140,000 hotel and motel rooms available in Vegas.

Might be difficult to sleep with all those lights...

The Bellagio Fountain is based on this, like, flat bit of water,

which is eight acres big.

Eight acres! That's like the size of Scotland, I think!

That is so not factually correct!

I think you'll find that Scotland is 19,460,000 acres in size, Iain!

Look, there it is, that's the fountain display!

This fountain is unbelievably cool.

-Whey! Whey!

-Whoa!

It's SO massive!

If I could sum Vegas up in one word, it would be...

absolutely crazy. I know that's two words,

but one word doesn't do it justice.

-There's a volcano right behind us!

-Ed, I don't think Vegas gets...

Elvis, drive! There's a volcano behind us!

Ed, I don't think Vegas gets much more exciting than this.

I think you'll find it CAN, Iain. I've got one more thing to show you.

BOTH: Aaagh!

You know, he's normally wrong, but for once, he's right.

This is the zip line on Fremont Street.

Yeah!

Aagh!

Agh!

Viva Las Vegas, baby!

Vegas! Whoo!

Ooooh!

Wow, Ed, I can't believe you're taking me on a day out!

Just a little thank you for all your hard work.

But are you sure you can afford this?

Those boats, they look a million dollars!

And may I say, Naomi - so do I?

These shorts cost me a fortune.

-We must be going somewhere really posh.

-We are.

-I even booked a limo.

-Ah! Limo!

Hang on a minute - we're on a marina.

-Limos don't float.

-Oh? Really?

This one does. It's called the Nautilimo -

THE must-have car/boat accessory in ANY marina!

And it only comes in pink!

That's three-and-a-bit Eds, to you and me.

It's based on the luxury 1976 Cadillac,

and it's the ONLY Nautilimo in the world.

-Hello, Captain Joe!

-Hello, Captain Joe!

-Hey!

-Welcome aboard.

-Thank you. This is fancy.

-Ooh!

-Take a seat.

How are you doing? Nice to have you on board.

-Ooh, this is better than a normal limo.

-Make yourselves comfortable.

-Ready to go any time you are!

-Wow!

-I'm ready.

-Whoo-hoo!

-Let's do it.

Captain Joe has been cruising the Florida Keys for 15 years,

and his boat/car is probably

the best place to be seen when you're spotting the local wildlife.

So, Captain Joe, what sort of sea life might we see today?

Well, quite often we'll see dolphins out here.

-And I saw some sea turtles out here a couple of days ago.

-Did you?!

And sometimes you'll see a large tarpon and you'll see its tail

come up, and they're a good-sized fish - 6-7ft long.

Now, if you're thinking that this looks a bit warmer than the UK,

then you'd actually be right!

It's a proper tropical climate in the Florida Keys,

with some amazing species of sun-loving fish.

All this talk of fish has made me a bit hungry.

Not a problem. Captain Joe - can you take us to Robbie's, please?

-Oh, is there a restaurant nearby?

-Restaurant?

-Yeah.

-No, no. We're not going to eat the fish,

we're going to feed the fish.

So, there is a problem - I'm still hungry.

Details, details...

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

-Ooh, thank you, sir.

-Welcome to Robbie's.

Oh!

These are tarpon fish, and they can grow up to 2.5 metres,

which is way taller than Ed!

They like to swim around in shallow, warm water,

and they're very good at predicting the weather.

These tarpons have been coming here to Robbie's marina

for the last 18 years, and get fed by the public daily.

We're going to feed the tarpons!

-Huh! They're massive!

-I know!

-Oh, no - is this safe?

-Oh, yes, yes, they're very friendly.

-Really?

-In fact it's quite a nice story how they ended up here.

Robbie found an injured one in the water and nursed it back to health.

-Aw!

-He released it into the wild and it came back with all its friends.

Aw! Shall we give them a fish, then?

If I dangle one, they sometimes take them out of your fingers.

You're brave!

Haven't they got funny faces?!

-Agh!

-Ah!

-Ho-ho!

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

SHE LAUGHS AND GASPS

It's mouth was like that.

You did quite well for someone who is scared of sharks.

I am not dangling a fish over here. I'm just going to throw them.

-Oh, hi, Captain Joe.

-Hi, Captain Joe.

-We're having so much fun.

This is terrifying.

Let's try another one. Let's try another one.

THEY SCREAM

Aargh!

They're used to coming to the surface cos they have to

-breathe air like us.

-Watch, watch.

Aargh!

I'm sure that one had teeth. Their eyes are really creepy.

I can't, I can't, Ed, I can't.

Captain Joe is here with the Nautilimo which means it is

-time to go.

-Can we go and get something to eat now? I'm starving.

-Don't worry, I have arranged dinner on the boat.

-A slap-up meal too?

-The perfect end to the perfect date. Oh, thanks, Ed.

-That's all right.

She can finish off the rest of these.

'Right, Ed, prepare yourself. I'm taking you to Neptune.'

'What? That's amazing. Right, I'll have to buy a space suit,

'book a crash course on a spaceflight program,

'cancel the paperboy.'

'Ed, Ed, Ed. I meant this. Neptune.

'Roman god of the sea and here is his statue on Virginia Beach.'

'Oh, pretty cool. Nice six-pack.'

'It is made of bronze, clay and plaster and weighs 11,337 kg,

'which is the same weight as 61,296 tins of tuna.'

'The sound of the waves made me want to go for a wee. Back in a bit.'

'Not before you take a closer look.

'The statue has 12 fish, two dolphins, a turtle,

'an octopus and a three-pronged trident.

'The artist used 907 kg of glue just to make this sculpture.'

'I'm in a sticky situation too. I really need the loo.'

'And did you know Neptune's head alone is 1.98m tall?

'That's like nine times the size of your head.

'Ed? Ed? Ed?

'Strange.

'Neptune must have seen all sorts of storms on this beach.

'I wonder what it would be like to control the weather.'

If I could control the weather, I would make a spaghetti tornado

and eat that instead of buying food from the shop.

I would make it rain and then I would make it

so windy that everyone with umbrellas would fly up to the sky.

I would put a rain cloud over my little sister cos she annoys me.

A hot dog without garnish is a very lonely thing.

It asks the question of us all, "What will I cover you in?"

It's a riddle we must face

as through our mind the options race.

What will I smear up on you until I put you in my face?

But we know the true secret that will never leave us flustered.

To make you taste just quite the thing, we must...

BOTH: Cover you with mustard.

You enjoy that, you hot dog.

So, Barry.

Do I call you Barry or I know some people call you Mustard Man?

Yes, or Colonel Mustard. Either one.

-Colonel Mustard.

-I like Colonel Mustard.

-So, Colonel Mustard, sir.

-Yes?

-I understand you've got 5,469 mustards in your collection.

-We do.

It's the world's largest collection of mustards and mustard memorabilia.

I see you have got a lot of mustards from France, miscellaneous

foreign mustards. Where are all your American mustards?

Well, in the museum we have the great wall of mustard.

-I have to see this.

-I have to see this.

-I'll take you.

-Let's go.

If you don't like mustard,

you can blame those hotheads the Romans because it's thought

they were the first to use the seeds from the mustard plant.

The mustard we now know and possibly even like is made from the seeds

mixed into a paste with all sorts of other spices and flavourings.

The USA grows almost 1,012,000,000 square metres' worth

of mustard seed a year.

I guess the only way to get to know mustard any better is to taste it.

If we must...ard.

This is Mustard Chef.

Gregg and John are about to sample

a smooth reduction of Dijon mustard served on a bed of marinated wasabi

mustard, finished off with a Hawaiian pineapple mustard coulis

and drizzled with a smoky garlic mustard.

I think I'm going to be sick.

This dish is a triumph, it tantalises the taste buds

and it suddenly gives your palate a proper pounding.

This is art on a plate, Gregg,

and it's going to change this contestants life for ever.

-Giblets.

-Excuse me?

This dish would go well with giblets.

Mustard surely has to be the king of condiments but this is Mustard Chef.

This is cooking as tough as it gets.

This dish is world-class.

It is mustard with muscle.

Cut. Thanks, lads, that's lunch.

You overcome with emotion, Gregg?

I think someone undercooked their mustard.

I need a bucket, I need a bucket.

HE WRETCHES

You put your own twist on that dish, Gregg.

You added a splash of colour there. Genius.

So, Barry, why are we wearing these uniforms?

Well, we are here at America's mustard college Poupon U

and we're about to have perhaps a graduation ceremony.

-No-one's pooping on me.

-Poop on you.

-No, poop on you.

Well, it's called that because

Grey Poupon is one the world's great mustards so Poupon U.

-Ah.

-Like Poupon University.

-Of course. Poupon U.

And we even have a cheer. So shall we do it?

-Yes.

-OK.

# Who needs Harvard? Who needs Yale?

# At Poupon U, you'll never fail

# Stanford, Princeton, big mistake

# Poupon U's a piece of cake! #

You've done it! You have graduated!

-Oh, really?

-Oh, yes!

How many people have graduated?

-All of them.

-I'm not surprised.

-Yes!

Next up, its some art that is streets ahead of the rest.

# Calling out from Detroit's East Side

# Cos there's art installations in the vacant lots

# The road is even covered in polka dots

# The whole thing is named after the street it stands on

-I bought white with a hint of cream.

-What?

Well, when you said we'd be decorating the houses, I thought,

"You know, magnolia, it's very neutral, it goes with anything."

Ah, the fourth of July, Independence Day in America.

I tell you what, Egg Petrie, I am so egg-cited to be here.

Eggs-actly, Johny.

I think the town of Oatman in Arizona is a very eggs-otic place

and we're going to have an egg-cellent time.

Well, I don't like to eggs-aggerate

but I do think it's going to be an amazing eggs-perience.

Yeah, finally an eggs-ercise we can egg-cel in.

I think we're going to be eggs-perts at this.

Oh, please, guys, enough with the puns already.

I'll eggs-plain what's going on.

Welcome to the one-street town of Oatman, where every year

hundreds of people from all over the USA and other parts of the world

come to fry eggs on the pavement in the baking-hot midday sun.

It has only rained three times since the event began 22 years ago.

And this is one of them.

Still, 18 keen fryers have turned out for the competition

but is it hot enough?

The man who can answer the question - Fried Egg.

Sorry, Fred Egg.

Sorry, Fred Eck.

Is it possible, Fred, to fry an egg on the sidewalk?

Oh, absolutely. If it's 158.6 degrees Fahrenheit

but, unfortunately, today, with the overcast,

we're probably not going to get that.

So therefore we are going to have to judge it on some

sort of device you can create.

What is the best way to make a device?

You get some sort of solar device, concave mirror,

aluminium foil, magnifying glasses, all that sort of thing,

then you can fry that egg cos you only have 15 minutes

so it has to be something that can create something hot.

Right, we'd better get planning these inventions then.

I'll see what I can throw together in, you know, five minutes.

-I haven't given it a lot of thought, really.

-Me either.

Previously on All Over The Place.

Ed Petrie - a man on a secret mission

that he kept secret even from himself.

No, no, I can only use the power of the sun.

I can't use an electric hob.

Johny Pitts - a man who could shape his own destiny

like it was putty in his hands.

Just that the end result would look a bit messy.

No, no, it's definitely wasn't pegs, OK, it was eggs.

Mate, it's your call. At the end of the day,

you won't be represented in the Oatman egg frying championships,

will you? It's your loss.

These were men who really didn't have the faintest clue

but still somehow managed the most basic tasks of daily life,

like breathing and putting on their pants. But now they had a plan.

So, it's the day before the Oatman egg frying

and I'm just doing a little bit of forward planning.

It's not cheating, it's just preparation.

Right, between you and me, I am going to get a bit of a head start

on Ed Petrie in this egg frying malarkey.

So I have prepared a few things. Don't tell him.

I've got lots and lots of foil because I like shiny things.

Firstly, to reflect the heat of the sun and create a laser,

I've got a mirror.

Oh, wow.

This bit of foil, this bit of foil.

Stunning.

This bit of foil and some foil.

I got this from my dad's car.

I've also got an umbrella.

I've prepared all this stuff and Ed is coming into

this competition not knowing what's going on.

I am going to be the egg frying champion. Bring it on.

Can't wait till tomorrow.

Oh, this is going to be brilliant.

Johny hasn't got a clue what's going to hit him. See you tomorrow.

That's quite funky, where did you get that from?

It's part of my egg-frying device.

That looks like it took longer than five minutes to make.

-Yeah, I put it together last night.

-Last...? You cheater.

You said you're just going to take five minutes to make it.

What about you? What is this, man in the mirror?

When did you put that together?

-Last night.

-Exactly.

-I worked really hard on it actually.

-I thought so.

How does it work anyway?

All this is to catch all the sun, all the lovely sun rays...

-Loads of that around today(!)

-..and reflect and cook the egg.

Let's put your inventions to the test. Here are the rules.

You have 15 minutes to fry your eggs using your home-made cooking devices

and only the power of the rain, sorry, I mean, sun, the sun.

No electricity, gas or fire is allowed.

Best of luck, lads. Get cracking and may the best man 'rain' supreme.

Let's have an egg-fry!

You've got to admire their optimism that this is going ahead.

Five, four, three, two, one.

GUNSHOT

I wasn't expecting that.

This is obviously going to be a complete disaster

but I'll have a go anyway.

I'll get the water out.

The average egg fries at 158 degrees Fahrenheit

which is nearly at the temperature water boils.

If the boys think that their eggs will get that hot

they must be 'yolking'.

Directing the sun's rays into this umbrella here.

I'm going to capture all the heat that is around today.

I meant it to be like this. I prefer it raw. That's kind of why.

It's a one-way ticket to food poisoning you got there, Johny.

Because it's Independence Day,

hopefully I might get a few more points if I wave this.

Desperate manoeuvres by Ed.

I don't have to worry about all that kind of stuff

cos I think my contraption here speaks for itself. Look.

-It's clearly speaking.

-I can hear it. What's it saying?

-It's saying...

-"Oh, I'm rubbish."

-It's saying...

-"I'm really badly designed."

-"I'm a lot better than Ed's."

This is a spy gun and it tells you the temperature of what your pan is.

What temperature am I cooking at?

Sir, you're cooking at 74 and, matter of fact,

your mate here is at 73.

-So, his is worse than mine.

-Yes, yes, he is.

Interesting. Interesting.

The ground temperature is 79 so you guys should have it on the ground.

So we are actually making it cooler?

You're actually making it cooler by being in the air.

We've created an egg-freezing device. Brilliant.

Egg-cellent. They are getting on so well.

I thought the boys were going to be all competitive and... Oh, come on.

Don't get all het up. No-one likes a bad egg.

If I breathe on it will that warm it up?

Or cool it down? I don't know.

Come on, the sun!

Ten, nine, eight...

Eight seconds left.

Seven, six...

You could cut the tension with a knife.

Three, two, one.

-Two very uncooked eggs.

-I don't think we did very well.

But it was a losing battle.

The guy next to me has actually managed to cook his egg a tiny bit.

-That is incredible.

-How do you think we did?

We obviously did appallingly but then so did everyone else.

-So, you know.

-Best of the worst.

I think it all hinges on who has got the best-looking device.

Ah, feeling lucky, boys, are we?

Well, there is a prize for the best device.

Unfortunately neither of you have won it.

It was the same guy who won the best egg fry.

Don't beat yourself up about it.

That was good. He did deserve to win best device, I think.

It was. It was a very good device, weren't it?

I still think my device was better than yours.

No way, I put a lot more effort and time into my device.

I think that has really spoken volumes. It's got two flags.

-What has yours got?

-It's got...

-It's a silver umbrella. How cool is that?

-Who wants a silver umbrella?

-Let's find out what Fred thinks, shall we?

-Yeah, let's! Yeah. OK.

Fred, I know the weather meant that neither of us could cook an egg

but who created the best device?

Well, in my opinion, after doing this for 22 years,

and I've seen a lot of these devices being made and built

and used, the overall device would actually have to go to Johny.

-Yes! Thank you, Fred. Put it there.

-Thank you very much.

Ed, thank you so much.

Well, at least my device is still useful.

You can walk home on your own, in the rain.

Yes, but at least I'll be walking home a champion.

A wet champion!

You all been watching All Over The Place USA.
