0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hop in, as your CBBC pals whisk you around the USA
0:00:05 > 0:00:06on a crazy road trip!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08- Cel is amazed!- We were just there.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12- Barney gets inventive. - The Henchbecker Coffee Pipe.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Johnny raves like only he can.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- And Naomi goes for a paddle.- This is rubbish. I don't know what to do.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22# All over the place!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24# All over the place!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28# North, south, east, west, on our quest
0:00:28 > 0:00:30# Me and my mates all over the place!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32# It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35# Whatever we do is strange but true!
0:00:35 > 0:00:36# All over the place!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40# All over the place!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43# Bet you didn't know this stuff's all over the States
0:00:43 > 0:00:47# But it turns up all over the place! #
0:00:47 > 0:00:49So, the first stop is Virginia,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52which was the first US state to grow peanuts!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Tell you what, Ed, this is going to be brilliant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57One of the oldest tourist attractions in the whole of America.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- Right here in Virginia. - Yeah, can't wait to see it.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03I don't know what it is, but I can't wait to see it.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Wonder where it is.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Whoa! This must be it. That bridge is massive!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11That's going to look nice when it's finished.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Must have some cowboy builders building it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Muppets! It's all natural.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20That's why it's called the Natural Bridge.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Native American Indians are said to have discovered it first
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and it's now one of the USA's top tourist spots.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Ed and Richard, you have 39 seconds to find out as much as you
0:01:32 > 0:01:34can about the Natural Bridge.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Richard, you've got Wes, who's a tour guide.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Ed, you've got Mary-Kate, who works in the Indian village.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Whoever finds out the most facts in 39 seconds is the winner.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Three, two, one, go!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Ed, go!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- What's that called? - That's the Natural Bridge.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- How high is it?- 215 feet.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- How long is it?- About 40 feet.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- When was it made? - Over a million years.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- What kind of rock is it made of? - Limestone.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Why was it made? - Because water came through here.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- What's that river called? - The Cedar Creek.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- How many people do you get here each year?- About 200,000.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Where do you work here? - In the Indian Village.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Why was it called Natural Bridge? - Cos it's all natural.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Why is there an Indian village? - Because the Monacans discovered the bridge.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Can I take a piece home with me? - Yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- What's that over there?- A mink. - What is it?- It's a little weasel.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- It's amazing! I've never seen one of them.- Really?- Yes.- OK.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Can I buy one in the gift shop?- No.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30BUZZER Ohhh!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33It's a shame I can't buy one in the gift shop,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35cos those mink look lovely. Hello!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And the person who found out the most facts is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Ed!
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Yes!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Hooray!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- You won this one, just about. - Ah, yes, the smell of victory.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And I found out loads about mink as well. I saw a mink.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- A what?- You should look more excited. A mink.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Don't know what a mink is.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Let me help you out there, Richard. Mink are often mistaken for
0:02:56 > 0:03:01otters but are much smaller, with fluffier tails and smaller snouts.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Awwww!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Ed, once upon a time there was a king of England called
0:03:04 > 0:03:07King George III, and he actually sold this bridge for 20 shillings.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- You know how much 20 shillings is? - About a pound, isn't it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- You're not meant to know, I'm giving you a fact.- But it's a fact I know!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- 20 shillings is a pound. - Oh, well done.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17It wasn't a lot of money, even back in those days.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20For a bridge as beautiful as that.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21It's the Monacan tribe,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23the Native Americans that used to live here,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25they thought that bridge was created
0:03:25 > 0:03:28when an enemy tribe was chasing them and it helped them get away.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- It just appeared.- Yeah. We should go and check out their village.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Which way is it?- Don't know.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35It's this way.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Honestly, how do you guys find your way out of the house in the morning!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42This is what a Native American village would have
0:03:42 > 0:03:44looked like 300 years ago.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- So where are we, Ed?- Oh, this is the Native American village.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- And what's that?- Um... That's a wigwam?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- A what?- No, a tepee. It's a tepee.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- No, it's a giant wig for giants. - There's a squirrel there, Ed.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01There is a squirrel, yeah. There's another squirrel there,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04that paid a very high price for eating those nuts, by the look of it.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Do you get loads of them here? - I don't know.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09You ask too many questions. I know nothing about this place.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- We'd better find someone who does.- OK.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18So, Mary-Kate, thanks for inviting us into your... What is this, exactly?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20This is a women's work area.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Thank you for inviting us into your women's work area.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- No problem! - So what would they do in here?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27This was a place where ladies would come in
0:04:27 > 0:04:30and get out of the sun or rain and would still be able to
0:04:30 > 0:04:34work on things, like making pottery and weaving baskets, sewing,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38and also making dolls, like that. Those are made from corn husks.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I think this is a character from Toy Story. I think I recognise it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You could also have corn cob darts,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45like what we have in the basket over there.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47What's that over there?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I expected Native Americans to live in big pointy things
0:04:49 > 0:04:51covered in animal hides and things.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54The Monacans are an Eastern woodland tribe,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58which just means that they would stay in wigwams or round houses,
0:04:58 > 0:04:59like we have over there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02When they ran out of their natural resources and animals
0:05:02 > 0:05:04they're hunting, they have to move to a different place.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07But that doesn't happen for several years.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Talking of animals, it's lunchtime. Fancy something to eat?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12I could do with a burger.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- What are we doing, Ed? - We're grinding corn, Richard.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19We've just got to do this for two hours and then get some water,
0:05:19 > 0:05:20some acorn flour
0:05:20 > 0:05:23and some bear fat and we can make some lovely corn cakes.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I don't want corn, I just want a big, greasy burger!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28No, it's corn cakes for us, Richard.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Right, I'll just go and see if I can find some squirrel to go with it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I've had a really interesting afternoon. That thing's amazing.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah, I know. It'll be great when it's finished, though.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Have you been listening this afternoon?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Oh, you're joking, aren't you? No, you're not! You're not!
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You're actually not joking! That's unbelievable! You are joking.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58You're not, are you? What a waste of time!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Superior, Wisconsin.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I can't believe I lost my mobile. I had it five minutes ago, I swear!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Let me phone your number. We'll probably be able to hear it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Right, it's ringing.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19RINGTONE PLAYS That's my ringtone!
0:06:19 > 0:06:20That's definitely it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25RINGTONE CONTINUES
0:06:25 > 0:06:28It's definitely getting louder.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39RINGTONE PLAYS That's not my phone.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43That's a woman playing the accordion.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yeah, I can, er, I can see that.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Well, Helmi, it's safe to say I've never seen
0:07:01 > 0:07:03so many accordions in one place.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Well, we are a large collection.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- There are 1,300 accordions on this floor alone.- 1,300.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10That's quite a lot of accordions.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Accordions are hand held musical instruments
0:07:14 > 0:07:17which are played by squeezing bellows together
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and air through reeds which vibrate and create sound.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23The keys are then pressed to produce different notes.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27So what's the oldest accordion?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Oh, Michelle, why don't you run through and see if you can find it?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Sounds like a challenge, Helmi! I'm off.- What can I find?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Well, I think you should try to find the smallest.- Right.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40That's not going to be very easy to find, is it, cos it's small.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- I don't think this is very fair, Michelle.- This isn't...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51The accordion is also known as the squeeze box and the one man band.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Right, oldest accordion's probably from the 1800s.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00These look pretty old. Dark wood, very fragile. Could be a potential.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The models have small ones, but they're not real.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08This one looks beautiful and a real antique. This has got to be the one.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Helmi, I think I've found it!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Is this the one?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I'm afraid not. But I did bring the oldest one.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- How could I have missed that one? So how old's that?- 1820s.- So annoying.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Have you found the oldest one? - I didn't find it, though.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- OK, Helmi, is this the smallest one? - It is the smallest one.- Hooray!
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Yay! Well done, Ed.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35The most expensive accordion in the collection is just under 60,000
0:08:35 > 0:08:40which is around £37,000, so clearly the accordion is still in demand!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43But I wonder if anyone has tried to give the old squeeze box
0:08:43 > 0:08:45a modern day make-over.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Hey, Mr Henchbecker, sir.- Security! - No, no, sir, it's me! It's Dibley.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54From marketing? You asked me to design the new accordion, sir.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I have the prototype here.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58So, are you going to blow my socks off?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Nope, but we could add that feature if you think it helps, sir.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Figure of speech, son. Right, show me what you got.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08The accordion 97.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Eh?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Let me introduce you to the Henchbecker Coffee Pipe!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18It's a drinks tube, sir.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Attached to a backpack that contains three litres of the finest quality,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23highest-strength Columbian coffee, right?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25So a kid drinks the coffee, and while...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Dibley, you can't give a kid three litres of coffee.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32You can't give ANYONE three litres of coffee.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Right, sir, so-so-so we just place that there
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- and forget about that, sir, because it doesn't matter.- Take it off!
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Yeah, that can go, sir, because we also did some more research, sir.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46We found out that when you learn a new musical instrument, it helps
0:09:46 > 0:09:53to encourage social development, so we have added online gaming!
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Huh!- Yeah. You can play a game. It's called Virtual Accordion Legend.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00You can play any time you like, online with your friends.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Which means...- Which means they wont be concentrating
0:10:03 > 0:10:05on playing the instrument.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07- Right, sir.- That's what it means.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- So, we are just going to close that and...- Get rid of it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Get rid of it, sir. - Take that off.- That can go.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15That's not important. What's important, sir, is,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17well, let me explain.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20You have bought yourself a brand-new accordion, right? You love it.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- It's the best thing you've ever seen. - I love it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26And you leave it somewhere but you don't know where you left it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29A GPS chip so you can track your accordion on any computer.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34That would have been a much better idea than the siren.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm just going to go ahead and pull that...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- SIREN WAILS - Aargh! Aargh!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Sorry, sir. Stop!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Aargh! Aargh!
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Sorry, that never usually happens. You hate it, don't you, sir?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Well, I wouldn't go that far.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56With a few minor adjustments, I think we could be onto something.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Yeah, we take that off, for a start. We know that don't work.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00We don't need that.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Don't need that wire. I actually hate that.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And, well, you know that a stupid idea.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- And it will be much cheaper to produce.- I agree, sir.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- There. Good work. - Thank you, sir.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I would like to give you a promotion.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23But we are small-scale accordion manufacturer
0:11:23 > 0:11:25and that would mean giving you my job.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- So get out.- Yes, sir.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Watch the chair there, sir. - Watch yourself on the way out.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Thank you, sir.- Clever kid. Clever kid.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Ed, what is this place?- The petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Petrified? Doesn't look that scared to me.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Not that sort of petrified.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54What other sort of petrified is there, Petrie?
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Well, let me explain to you using the medium of dance music.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01We shall begin.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06# Petrified
0:12:09 > 0:12:13# Let us take you on a journey back in time
0:12:13 > 0:12:15# Cos this place is going to blow your mind
0:12:15 > 0:12:17# Blow your mind
0:12:17 > 0:12:20# Better all prepare yourselves for a big shock
0:12:20 > 0:12:23# Cos this forest, well, it's made from rock
0:12:23 > 0:12:24# Made from rock
0:12:24 > 0:12:28# Would you please explain the science to me if you could?
0:12:31 > 0:12:37# Basically, quartz replaced organic matter in the wood
0:12:37 > 0:12:39# So these are
0:12:39 > 0:12:42# All dried up, all dried up All dried up and petrified
0:12:42 > 0:12:46# All dried up, all dried up All dried up and petrified

0:12:50 > 0:12:54# All dried up, all dried up All dried up and petrified
0:12:54 > 0:12:58# Back in the Triassic period don't know you?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00# That's 200 million years ago
0:13:00 > 0:13:02# Years ago
0:13:02 > 0:13:05# The trees became buried beneath the river bed
0:13:05 > 0:13:08# They then became Became fossils instead
0:13:08 > 0:13:09# Fossils instead
0:13:09 > 0:13:14# Over time the Earth's crust moved and eroded away
0:13:16 > 0:13:22# And what's left are the relics of those ancient days
0:13:22 > 0:13:24# And they are
0:13:24 > 0:13:28# All dried up, all dried up All dried up and petrified
0:13:28 > 0:13:31# All dried up, all dried up All dried up and petrified

0:13:35 > 0:13:39# All dried up, all dried up All dried up and petrified
0:13:39 > 0:13:42# In the desert layers of rock are colourfully arranged
0:13:42 > 0:13:46# They tell of past environments How the climate has changed
0:13:46 > 0:13:50# The petroglyphs are real proof that humans were here too
0:13:50 > 0:13:52# Simple drawings carved in rock
0:13:52 > 0:13:54# Ooh, that one looks like you
0:13:57 > 0:13:59# Petrified

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Morning, Colonel.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Morning.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Ah, another warm sunny day here on Richardson's farm
0:14:36 > 0:14:40here in Spring Grove, Illinois. And I am feeling ripe.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46- I thought I smelt something. Ah, isn't it amazing?- It sure is.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Hey, whoa! What are you doing?
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- You can't beat a fresh bout of corn on the cob.- Sweet.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01This is a maze made out of corn and it's biggest in the world.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04It is the size of 22 football pitches put together
0:15:04 > 0:15:09but it only took Farmer George eight hours to sow all the seeds.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12By the way, corn can grow up to 25cm a week.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14That is 100cm in a month.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I could go on and on and on but that would be corny.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I don't understand it, Cel, it defies all reason.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- There is only one explanation. Aliens made this maze.- Aliens?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- No, I disagree.- I know what it was.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It was a plague of artistic locusts and they ate all the corn.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Artistic locusts don't exist. - That is true.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- You're going to have to ask him. - Oh, not voice-over man.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- You're going to have to. Just tell us.- He is such a know-all.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And you're such a know-nothing.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I do know that a farmer called George has been
0:15:41 > 0:15:42building mazes here for years.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44He gets a local artist to design them,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48uses a tractor and a sat nav and also that this year's design
0:15:48 > 0:15:52is celebrating 100 years of the American Girl Scouts.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54So there.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Right, you pair of overgrown toddlers,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I challenge you to play Corn On The Job.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03You have a map of the maze and somewhere out there are three
0:16:03 > 0:16:07questions that will get you through the maze as quickly as possible.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11So, let's get on with it before it is your bedtime.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Yes.- Ah, yes. - First prize is a pumpkin.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14That is what I have dreamed of.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Oh, wow, something I have never wanted and don't know how to cook.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Question one.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26- Go.- OK. The corn here was planted in A, March or B, May.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- March.- No, you see, March here is going to be quite cold.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32They have really cold winters.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35This could be a long game.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- March. May.- No, May.- May.- May.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Correct.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Yes! Get me that pumpkin.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Question two. What is corned beef made of?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yeah, corn.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Oh, come on.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53- Beef.- Beef.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Correct. Finally.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57- Yes!- Yes!- Get me the butternut.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Oh, yes, look at that. A pumpkin and a butternut squash.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04These are two things I had no idea I wanted this morning.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08We were just there.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09All right. Question three.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Name three different types of food made from corn.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Sweetcorn.- That's not made from corn, is it? Popcorn.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Popcorn, yeah, you can have sweet or salted. There's two.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20That's the same thing. Popcorn, corn flakes. Need one other thing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Bread.- Bread? Oh, cornbread.- Yeah.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Popcorn.- Sweetcorn.- No, not sweetcorn. Popcorn, corn flakes.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- And sweetcorn. - No, and corn bread.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yes. Yes, at last.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Yeah!- Yes.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- I want the watermelon. - Really? There you go.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36- Why did you say that? - Take the watermelon.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Actually, hang on, hang on, wait a minute.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41We've got to walk all the way out of this cornfield with all this
0:17:41 > 0:17:43fruit and veg and we don't know what to do with it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Let's just leave it here.- Yeah?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- We can be out of here in about five minutes.- Indeed. A little stroll.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Oi. You left the map.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Time to get the map out. Cel.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57No, no, no. I thought you had the map.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- No, I thought you had the map. No, no.- You had the map.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- I can see the light. Oh! Oh!- Oh, freedom.- Ah!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11That was a-maze-ingly good. Get it?
0:18:11 > 0:18:12A-maze... Never mind.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- D'oh.- D'oh.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28BOTH: Doughnuts.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30'What are you doing?'
0:18:30 > 0:18:33'I need 49 to beat the world record for eating doughnuts.'
0:18:33 > 0:18:35'And I have to do it in under eight minutes.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36'Want to give it a go?'
0:18:36 > 0:18:37'Yeah.'
0:18:37 > 0:18:39'Whatever you do, don't try this at home.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42'We are both very experienced doughnut eaters.'
0:18:42 > 0:18:44'Three, two, one, dough!'
0:18:48 > 0:18:51'How on earth can anyone eat 49? I only managed, like, four.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54'I feel like right dough ball now.'
0:18:54 > 0:18:57'Anyway, after all that excitement of a failed world record attempt,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59'I have got to go find a toilet.'
0:18:59 > 0:19:01'Do you want to know something really impressive?'
0:19:01 > 0:19:02'Actually, not right now.'
0:19:02 > 0:19:06'We are in the company of a famous Hollywood star.'
0:19:06 > 0:19:07'Really? Where?'
0:19:07 > 0:19:09'You're standing next to it.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13'This big doughnut has been in loads of Hollywood films.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Like Iron Man 2.'
0:19:14 > 0:19:16'Hey, do I look like Iron Man?'
0:19:16 > 0:19:20'No. You look like a guy posing with a doughnut, who needs the toilet.'
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Even superheroes have to go at some point.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26'Hey, Ed. Ed? Where did he go?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30'He just disappeared. Maybe Ed does have a secret superpower.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33'What would you do if you were a superhero for the day?'
0:19:34 > 0:19:36If I was a superhero for the day,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I would help old ladies that are getting bags nicked...
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Help, my bag's being nicked.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47..by giving whoever is doing it a wedgie.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49An atomic wedgie.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I would be Aqua Girl.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I would have lasers on my head.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00And a talking fish would help me fight undersea crimes.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- OK, what about a ten pin bowling ball?- No, you know that wouldn't.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- What about a rubber duck? - That is cheating, Ed.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It is made to do exactly that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22OK, what about a cabbage?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26It's a vegetable. It is quite heavy though. No, I think it would.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Oh, controversial. I think it wouldn't.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Hey, what about a massive, massive sandwich
0:20:31 > 0:20:32your mum's made you for lunch?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33They're quite heavy.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36And I am as well after I've eaten one so I'd probably say,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39"No, it wouldn't." Shall we tell them what we are talking about?
0:20:39 > 0:20:40No. Let's let voice-over man do it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43All this talk of food's made me a bit hungry. Shall we go and get a snack?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I'll do it if you can get me an ice cream.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48So, we are talking about floating because
0:20:48 > 0:20:51we are at the Anything That Floats Race
0:20:51 > 0:20:52in Key Largo, Florida.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56This is a great place to float your boat as the Florida Keys
0:20:56 > 0:21:00are a chain of 1,700 islands surrounded by the sea.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03The race really is about anything that floats.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06You must be creative and build your own raft.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10You can use wood, empty water bottles or even outdoor furniture
0:21:10 > 0:21:14but you can't cheat by using proper boats, canoes or motors.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18All rafts in this race have to be powered by human energy.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21This is a disgrace.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Someone's left a load of junk lying next to this beautiful key.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27No, Ed, these are the materials for us to build a raft.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Oh, someone's left some useful objects next to this beautiful key.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34So, shall we try and transform these
0:21:34 > 0:21:36into a couple of brilliant rafts then?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- I guess so.- It's sink...- ..or swim.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Get on with it.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Ah, well, that was very, very simple.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Yeah, I don't know how we pulled it off, really, considering
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- we spent most of the time messing around.- Very straightforward.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I think we have been quite c-raft-y.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08C-raft...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Yeah, I got it.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Yeah, I got it too. I wish I hadn't.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Let's go meet Robert, the man who makes this race float.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Robert, you're the organiser, aren't you?- Hey, guys.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- How you doing?- How is the air. - Everything looks great.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23The air is perfect. I think it is a great day for the event.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25It is going to be a lot of fun.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27What is the point of the Anything That Floats Race?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Well, you know, it's to take anything,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31anything that will float and see how fast you go.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34See the fastest person to go through the race. That's the winner.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Is this home-made raft building a really popular pastime
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- here in the States? - It's becoming very popular pastime.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Obviously, you will see today, it's very interesting no matter what,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- it will be a great time. - Any top tips for us?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Paddle fast and stay light. - Stay light?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51There's not much I can do about that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Unless I go to the toilet. Right now.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Maybe we should check out the competition?- Yeah, let's do that.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Thanks, Robert.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02There Anything That Floats Race has been going for four years
0:23:02 > 0:23:05and 23 rafts are taking part this year.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- The Jamaicans are off. - There they go.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10There is four of them and it floats.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I like the pirates because they threw booty at us.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Treasure, Ah-har.- Ah-har!
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Come on, piracy. Come on panda, polar bear...
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I'm not sure you should be cheering pirates on.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- They're essentially criminals. - Oh, yeah. Come on panda/polar bears.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32How are you feeling about this then?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I've got a feeling I'm going to be probably more like him.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37And less like them.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Me too.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Oh, dear. This is determination for you, right here.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47He is continuing even though his raft is upside down.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50So, what you have to do is paddle up to the red buoy and back,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52which is a distance of 400m.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55That's the same as eight Olympic swimming pools.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Time to get your feet wet. And maybe the rest of you too,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02depending on how well these home-made rafts hold up.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Wish me luck.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Naomi, you're first. Paddle at the ready.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08- RACE ANNOUNCER:- Three...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Watch and learn, Petrie.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12..two, one.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17How do I do it? Side to side? Oh, no, that's not going to work.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19She's representing the BBC.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24It looks like Naomi's going at -1 miles an hour.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27This is rubbish. I don't know what to do.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32- Come on! - And he is off.- Eat my wake!
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Now it is Ed's turn.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Competitors race one at a time to avoid any collisions.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Although you do have to be moving to collide with someone.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45It's not as easy as it looks.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I don't know what I'm doing.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I was never very good at this sort of thing.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58You know, there is every chance they might not ever finish.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I wonder what we will do then.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Hang on, what is this? Man overboard.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Is Ed swimming for the shore? Is he giving up?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Ed's in the water! Ed is in the water!
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Maybe this is Ed's annual bath.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Naomi is out in front and Ed...
0:25:13 > 0:25:14What is Ed doing?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Team Ed is out there and he is just swimming.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Swimming with it. The absolute cheat.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Are there sharks in here?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I didn't think about that.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I can't believe he's caught up with me. I'm so annoyed.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Can you give me a push?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Ssh. Don't tell him.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Quick, give me a push, give me a push.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Just because you think Ed's not playing fair
0:25:37 > 0:25:40doesn't mean you can too, Naomi.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45So, Naomi's being pushed along and Ed's catching up
0:25:45 > 0:25:47by pushing his raft. I give up.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- You're not floating.- I am floating.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I got to the red buoy and then Ed cheated
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and then he suddenly started making great speed.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59If he'd have stuck to the rules
0:25:59 > 0:26:04and paddled his raft like ordinary people, he'd be way behind me.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Could you tow me so I can try and beat Ed, please?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Brilliant, thank you. As long as we beat him to the red buoy.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15You might need to let me go just near him so he doesn't see.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18As far as cheating goes, Naomi, this is right up there.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19What do you mean cheating?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Hang on a minute! Oi, that's cheating.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- What? I don't know what you're talking about.- Oi!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28You can't get in the water and swim.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33Here he comes. I told you you were going to get wet.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35There you go.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Keep pumping. There you go, Ed.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Team Naomi and Team Ed seem to be neck and neck.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Amazingly there's still nothing between them right at the end.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47But who's going to pass the finish line first?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Naomi wins by a catfish whisker.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56The question is can she get away with it?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Totally cheated. Sorry.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Hey, guys. Well, you know it was close.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It was very close but, Naomi,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06while you might have crossed the finish line first,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10the winner actually was Ed. So there you go.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14God bless the Florida Floater and all who sink in her.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Now, I do have another award for Naomi though because,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20as you know, Ed, Naomi started quite a bit earlier than you did
0:27:20 > 0:27:22but only at the end was it close.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I don't know if you noticed or not cos you were working
0:27:24 > 0:27:27so hard to get across the finish line but Naomi did win an award.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31And she won the Most Rules Broken award.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Yeah! That is brilliant.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- My proudest moment.- You should be ashamed of yourself.- I should be.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38But I'm not.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42You've been watching All Over The Place USA.
