00:00Coming up in today's program, we take on Olympic kayak gold medalist Noamie Fox in a whitewater challenge.
00:07We set sail on the fun ship, Carnival Splendour, on an epic South Pacific adventure.
00:13I reach for the skies in a freestyle jet ski expression session.
00:19And finally, it's a dramatic car versus boat race, as Tom and I, in a Land Rover Defender,
00:25who look to outwit and bring down Felicity and Rob driving an AXO Par 45.
00:31All this and so much more on Top Knot, a new wave of entertainment.
00:42How are you, you beautiful lunatics?
00:45Tip top, mate, tip top.
00:47Welcome back to Middle Harbour Yacht Club.
00:50We are having the time of our absolute lives on the show, am I right?
00:54Yeah.
00:55It's been a good show.
00:56So why don't we kick off this bad boy by heading straight to the Penrith Whitewater Stadium,
01:01where we get to teach an Olympic gold medalist all about kayaking.
01:10We are at the Penrith Whitewater Centre with none other than Olympic kayak gold medalist reigning champ,
01:16Noamie Fox.
01:17Noamie!
01:20Speaking of gold medals, what is it like having one in your possession around your neck?
01:24What's that moment like?
01:25Just always keep it on me at all times.
01:29Handy at all times.
01:30No way.
01:32I don't know.
01:33Are you scared to drop it?
01:35It's definitely life changing.
01:37What was it like the moment that they put the medal around you there?
01:40It was the best feeling in the entire world and then just, you know, the high that you're
01:45on afterwards and just having this, you know, piece that you can constantly remind yourself
01:50of, you know, that journey, the resilience behind it and what's possible in life.
01:55And it all finally feels worth that.
01:57Oh, 100%.
01:58Sacrifice, the dedication.
02:00After Rob had shown Noamie his under 11 soccer medals, she offered us a crash course in kayaking,
02:08a decision she would come to regret.
02:12So what's the key for what we're about to do, do you think?
02:15Um, not think about it too much, I'd say, and just go out there, paddle hard.
02:22My mum says it's like dancing.
02:24You want to be like, you know, using your hips nice and light.
02:27Well, out of all of us here, I'm the only one who's won Dancing with the Stars in the
02:32World twice.
02:32Twice.
02:33That's right.
02:34He's just won at once.
02:35I'm not as great underwater as these guys are.
02:38Like, the idea of being upside down terrifies me.
02:41It's fine, man.
02:41It's man-made.
02:42They make it so it's safe, right?
02:43Time for a bit of a lesson.
02:44Let's get wacky.
02:46And then we'll hit the water.
02:48Okay.
02:48Let's go.
02:48Doesn't look that hard, really.
02:50Yes.
02:50Doesn't look hard?
02:51Are you joking?
03:00Vertical tag.
03:00Oh!
03:06Oh!
03:07Oh!
03:07Oh!
03:07Oh!
03:07Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:08Oh!
03:09Oh!
03:09Oh!
03:09Oh!
03:09Oh!
03:09Oh!
03:09Oh!
03:10Oh!
03:10Oh!
03:10Oh!
03:10Oh!
03:10Oh!
03:11Oh!
03:11Oh!
03:11Oh!
03:11Oh!
03:11Oh!
03:12Oh!
03:12Oh!
03:13Oh!
03:21Two options if you've got your kayak.
03:23One you might be able to roll back up.
03:26Oh!
03:27Stop it!
03:28Oh!
03:29You're joking!
03:31But today I don't think we'll have time for that.
03:33What we will do is go for the emergency exit, which is we pull our tag when we're underwater
03:39We want to push our films out of the boat.
03:41Are we ready?
03:42One, two, we're testing, testing the limits.
03:49Grab you there.
03:55This is the only one here who has a genuine fear of drowning.
03:59It's like my worst nightmare.
04:01Do you want me to do it with you?
04:02No.
04:03No.
04:04Let's go for it, man.
04:06No, man.
04:07That.
04:08I knew this is why I didn't want to do this show.
04:11Who's going to help me when I get stuck?
04:13You need to help me, man.
04:14Are you ready?
04:15Yeah, you go.
04:16I'm with you.
04:17He's under?
04:19Yeah.
04:20Oh, that was a good set.
04:25Yes, you do.
04:27I never want to do that again.
04:30Here we go.
04:32Most of you I do not like.
04:34Who's there for you, though?
04:37I love you.
04:38I love you.
04:39After a quick introduction, it was time to take on the white water and it was pretty obvious
04:44that no way he recognised my talent.
04:47Yeah, look, Grant was a bit scared.
04:49He worries me.
04:50It's not the best paddling I've seen.
04:52It takes me back to my kayaking days teaching school kids how to paddle.
04:55Grant, you're up.
04:56Okay.
04:57Pass in the bathroom.
04:58You've got to move, boys.
04:59You've got the colours and everything.
05:02I reckon you'll have more fun at the crowd.
05:04You'll have more fun at the crowd.
05:05We're on.
05:06We're on.
05:07Start paddling.
05:08Let's go.
05:09Are you joking?
05:10I've got actually a real fear of being held under water and I was genuinely scared.
05:33What happens next is my worst nightmare.
06:01Oh .
06:04But how did the falling out come about?
06:07Probably have to ask the expert but I think I got too much air from paddling too hard.
06:12I rode the lip of like an oncoming like tsunami and launched it into the air.
06:18Right.
06:19Lost a little bit of balance mid-air and sort of came out the side.
06:22Oh my god.
06:23I told him to put his paddle up and he didn't follow the instructions so yeah I was chilling
06:26and then.
06:27Oh that's what that meant.
06:28Do you want to review the footage?
06:30I'm good here.
06:31Good form Dania.
06:32Big strokes.
06:33Oh he's over.
06:34Oh my god.
06:35Oh god.
06:36Oh that's funny.
06:37Let's go.
06:38All righty-o.
06:39I was next to go and despite being a professional surfer, this was something completely new to
06:52me and I had no idea what to expect.
06:55Totally in the air.
06:57Oh.
06:58Oh yeah.
06:59Oh yeah.
07:00Oh yeah.
07:01Oh yeah.
07:02Oh yeah.
07:03Oh yeah.
07:04Oh yeah.
07:05Oh yeah.
07:06It's just super exciting because you're sitting so low and you're really in it and you can
07:17just feel this whitewash and like I mean I had no idea what I was doing so I think that's
07:20why my adrenaline was so high.
07:26I'll be the power charging, you'll be steering and if you.
07:30No problem.
07:31You've got to just, yeah, just paddle.
07:33All right let's do this.
07:45I was going great guns until Noemi panicked and made us both flip.
07:50Thankfully for her, I came to the rescue.
07:51Look at this bolt's hat.
07:52Yeah.
07:53We went backwards once, recoverable backwards twice.
07:57I was a little concerned that my steering wasn't quite up to it.
07:58You went backwards?
07:59Twice.
08:00Twice.
08:01Twice.
08:02Twice.
08:03Twice.
08:04Both of us went out.
08:05Oh no.
08:06I mean I know Noemi's used to being at the back of the boat.
08:07So I'll put her in the front because I'm the power gun.
08:08You're the big diesel engine.
08:09Yeah, diesel engine and then of course I had to steer as well.
08:10You don't know how to do that though do you?
08:11No one taught me.
08:12Yeah.
08:13How many things are you supposed to do at once?
08:14Turns out a lot.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Were you worried for her safety at least?
08:17Only after we'd gone backwards for a second time.
08:18No one taught me.
08:19How many things are you supposed to do at once?
08:20Turns out a lot.
08:21Yeah.
08:22So yeah.
08:23Were you worried for her safety at least?
08:24Only after we'd gone backwards for a second time.
08:25No one taught me.
08:26No one taught me.
08:27No one taught me.
08:28No one taught me.
08:29No one taught me.
08:30No one taught me.
08:31No one taught me.
08:32How many things are you supposed to do at once?
08:33Turns out a lot.
08:34Yeah.
08:35Were you worried for her safety at least?
08:36Only after we'd gone backwards for a second time.
08:37No one taught me.
08:38No one taught me.
08:39Yeah.
08:40How many things are you supposed to do at once?
08:41Turns out a lot.
08:42Yeah.
08:43So yeah.
08:44Were you worried for her safety at least?
08:45Only after we'd gone backwards for a second time.
08:47Naomi reckons that was one of the worst experiences of her life and you're one of the worst
08:50she's ever had through here.
08:51Well, much better.
08:54I mean, let's face it, at least when I came out I dragged her out with me.
08:59Yeah.
09:00Two of us, Jackie, you just went out by yourself.
09:02I did, because I had to get to the side and cry in the bush by myself so no one could
09:05see it.
09:06Then I came back here like a man.
09:07Did you get held under?
09:08Yeah.
09:09So did I.
09:10Didn't lie.
09:12Next up was Tom.
09:13As a regular paddler, Tom, just all the shame.
09:30Oh, nice one.
09:31Whoa!
09:32Whoa!
09:33Whoa!
09:34Whoa!
09:35Whoa!
09:36Whoa!
09:37Whoa!
09:38Whoa!
09:39Whoa!
09:40Whoa!
09:41Whoa!
09:42Whoa!
09:43Oh, that's great.
09:44Forward paddle, forward paddle.
09:45Wrap things up.
09:46No Amy suggested we finish with a team run in the raft.
09:48Oh, yeah!
09:49Oh, yeah!
09:50Oh, yeah!
09:51Oh, yeah!
10:00Everything's going great until we were beached on a concrete block.
10:05Okay, back paddle, back paddle, back paddle.
10:07Come on, technology책.
10:08Oh, no, Bob.
10:09Oh.
10:10Okay.
10:19Whoa!
10:20Whoa!
10:21We are trashed!
10:22WeMen backs in the air to 4, прям, 10,000.
10:24We're tired.
10:25No!
10:31Oh, no.
10:32Whoa.
10:33Whoop!
10:34We finished with a capsize.
10:35We pretty much summed up our diet.
10:36day. We had all levels on show today. I think we started really strong. Thank you. Then
10:46we went a bit off. We rolled in the last drop. Then we went very downhill. We both fell out
10:56and then we finished with a high. Great stuff. Yeah, I'm done for the day. Training's over.
11:03Training's done. That was a big resistance session for me.
11:06I think I don't want you one gold. Yeah, totally, right? We've got to say full respect to you.
11:12You've been so gracious, so encouraging. Thanks for giving us just that little insight into
11:17your crazy wild world and we are so impressed. Thank you, mate. Bring it in. What a team.
11:23What a team. So good.
11:29Oh, bless her now, Amy Fox. Isn't she a sweetheart? Like, she literally thought that she was going
11:35to have to resuscitate four people that afternoon. You know, if she misses out on the next gold
11:40medal attempt, she is going to blame us. There's no doubt about it. All right, all right. Next
11:45up, guys, it is the great race from Sydney to Palm Beach. Car versus boat challenge. Grant
11:51Nye are in the car. Rob and Flick are in the stylish AXOPAR 45.
11:56It's out there.
11:58So the rules are we both leave here at the same point. One in a car, one by a boat. First person
12:07to Palm Beach wins. It's simple. You can make the rules whatever you like. Seems quite confident,
12:13doesn't he? I don't know. I can't take him seriously in the hat. So the two teams will
12:18be Land Rover Defender, driven by Grant Denyer with Tom Williams Navigator. On board the AXOPAR 45
12:26is driver Rob Palmer with Felicity Palmateer Navigator. So let the games begin. Go!
12:34Danger. Get inside. What do you want to do about the GPS? Oh, we have to hit it on the fly.
12:44Okay. You got a rough idea where we're going? Yeah, I know where we're going. All right,
12:47mate. Here we go. Off the guard, our first challenge. Oy! Four more drive, baby. This is it.
12:54Sydney traffic.
12:55Rob, what are you doing? Let's go. Look at this. Keep your hat on. I've got everything
13:07under control. What do you mean? Traffic is going to be the least of their problems. Let's go.
13:15All right. Tom, can you get on GPS, mate? We're going to need to find the fastest possible way here.
13:20Okay. This is a complex city. Let's find out how far it is to Palm Beach.
13:25Uh, yep. City to Palm Beach. You, um, I can, you've got my seat heaters on, but...
13:32Oh, sorry. Did you want them cool or...? No, no. Now they're massaging.
13:37Ah, here we go. Palm Beach. Oh, God. Hurry up.
13:43We need to put my glasses on. There we go.
13:50So you have any idea how to drive this thing?
13:52Yeah, like, we just got to work out what the buttons do.
13:57It's a lot of buttons, mate. Hang on a second. There must be a press start somewhere.
14:03Oh, hang on.
14:04The good part is, Tom, is, yes, we've got traffic, but they've got to go all the way out of the heads,
14:11yep, through rough chop, all the way up. That's going to be tough for them.
14:17So they've technically got further. We'll be able to do as the crow flies.
14:20Yeah. But we've just got to navigate all this, this bedlam and chaos that is Sydney traffic.
14:25Also remember, everyone's coming into the city. We're going out.
14:28Hey, boys, how's the Sydney peak hour traffic treating you? Losers.
14:33She's cocky.
14:35You haven't even left the harbour yet.
14:38They have got no idea. It's just around the corner.
14:41What do you mean?
14:42Trust me. I've got everything under control now.
14:45Let's open this baby up and see what she's got.
14:47Oh, yes. Come on.
14:51We can't even squeeze in the traffic here. You know what? This is a four-wheel drive.
14:57I'm not afraid to drive over a gutter.
15:00Here we go, son.
15:01All right, we're in line here.
15:02And another traffic light.
15:03How much horsepower did you say yet?
15:05Do you see?
15:07900.
15:09They might have 900 horsepower.
15:10We've got a green light. No talking. Let's go, go, go.
15:12Here we go, go. I'm on it.
15:14Sorry, I don't mean to put the pressure on.
15:16Yeah, you're getting...
15:17OK, that was a little curt.
15:18I've got to be honest, the way you spoke to me just then, but that's OK.
15:20I'll let it pass.
15:22And we're stopping again.
15:27It drives beautifully.
15:30It's like it drives itself.
15:33Hands on the wheel, mate.
15:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:35So you want to have a spin?
15:36I don't know if we've got the time.
15:37Look at all the time in the world, mate. Jump in.
15:41You know how to drive this thing?
15:43Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just follow your nose.
15:44I've got to admit, we're going a bit slower than I thought we'd be going right now.
15:52Do you guys think it's a great time to get in the car? How's the traffic?
15:55Oh, it looks like more dolphins.
15:57Oh, I do have a man arm.
15:59You know what? You know what I want more than anything else?
16:01Is for him to run fair square into the side of the Manly Ferry at speed.
16:05Yeah. A maritime disaster.
16:09With a full tank of fuel on board.
16:11You know what I'm saying?
16:12Yeah.
16:16Hey, we're good here. We're good here.
16:18It's green. It's green. It's green.
16:20Come on. Don't change. Don't change. Don't change.
16:22Papa.
16:23You beauty.
16:26Mate, these things are made for climbing mountains.
16:28We're in the right bit of kit here.
16:29Yeah.
16:30We are making really good time here.
16:32We've just made up for those sets of traffic lights that we've got stuck in.
16:35We'll sail well through here.
16:37The thing that worries me the most about the AXA part is they are really designed for chop.
16:42But he still can't carry the pace that he's got on now.
16:45Lack of experience.
16:46Well, exactly. Like, he's a knucklehead.
16:48He's not going to have to read the waves. He can't drive that thing.
16:50We're going to go out the heads.
16:52Do we turn left or right?
16:55Left, right?
16:57Here we go, mate. Look at this.
16:58One of the greatest sights in the world.
17:00I still get to heels when I go on the bridge.
17:02Do you?
17:02Totally. Yeah, for sure.
17:03It's the gatehanger.
17:04Look at this.
17:05I don't build them like this anymore, mate.
17:09Okay, so bridge, done, tick.
17:12We are then going to hit Military Road and we're coming into my hometown.
17:16Mossman's favourite son is back.
17:19Mate, we haven't been in a set of traffic lights for about eight minutes now.
17:23This is good.
17:23It's good.
17:24We've picked up.
17:24It's a good run.
17:25And I've got to be honest, like, I couldn't handle it.
17:27My ego couldn't handle it if he beat me in this race.
17:30Boat V car.
17:31When you're the car guy.
17:32Yeah.
17:32You know what I'm saying?
17:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:33That Denya, I reckon he's a Formula One race car driver.
17:37He's nothing but a washed up game show host with a big E.
17:39Yeah.
17:39It's a funny pairing, Felicity and Rob.
17:43It's loose.
17:43Yeah.
17:44It's unorganised.
17:45It's undisciplined.
17:47You know what they love to do?
17:49They just like to go straight in.
17:52They just launch.
17:53No care or concern.
17:55No.
17:55Oh, how good is this?
17:57Oh, yes.
17:57Oh, I got it.
18:02Oh.
18:02Oh.
18:03Oh.
18:03Hey.
18:04Hey.
18:04Hey.
18:05Hey.
18:05I thought you were driving.
18:07I thought you were driving.
18:08I thought you were driving.
18:09Well, no, I'm not on the S's and we've got to cross the spit bridge.
18:25In a defender, a classy way to spend the day.
18:27Am I right?
18:28It's right.
18:28We've got to get a move on.
18:29They're at the spit.
18:30Now, relax, Flick.
18:31It's all under control, mate.
18:33Just watch and learn.
18:35When I call next, I want you to pull that bridge up and keep it up until I say,
18:39three, two, one.
18:45Pull it up, pull it up.
18:46You're kidding me.
18:57Oh.
18:59Oh, man.
19:00This is disastrous.
19:01What?
19:02What?
19:02What's happening here?
19:03It's the spit bridge.
19:04I'm sorry, mate.
19:05What do you mean it's the spit bridge?
19:06Why isn't everyone going?
19:07It goes up and down.
19:08Why is it going up and down?
19:10It's a bloody bridge.
19:11Yeah.
19:13Come on.
19:17I love you, Tony.
19:22Sorry, mate.
19:23This is my fault.
19:24Oh, you're joking.
19:25That's it, Tony.
19:27That is perfect.
19:28Rob, this is bad, but I love it.
19:32Yeah, we do.
19:33Oh, drop that finger.
19:37You are kidding me.
19:38We had this thing in the bag.
19:40We were blazing a trail across the city.
19:43We'd had the clearest run of traffic lights in history.
19:46And then this.
19:47Rob, you're killing me.
19:52Oh, it's coming down.
19:57Let's go.
19:58Sorry, mate.
20:04Should we get out of here now?
20:05Oh, let's just enjoy the moment.
20:07Listen, mate.
20:08I'm really sorry.
20:10I'm going to cop that one.
20:11This was, that was my fault, but we're going to get there.
20:16Okay.
20:16We're going to rise up.
20:18We're going to keep going forward.
20:20It's a beautiful day.
20:21We're not going to let one little bridge wreck this challenge.
20:26You suck.
20:29Okay.
20:30Just look out your window.
20:31I love that, but shouldn't we be getting a move on?
20:37They're now on the northern beaches and we haven't even left the harbour yet.
20:40There's no rush flick.
20:41No rush.
20:41This boat is like lightning.
20:43And we are going to enjoy it all day long.
20:47Oh, how well does the Axi Park handle it offshore?
20:50It is handling beautifully.
20:52It needs it up.
20:54What a day.
20:55I reckon we've got plenty of time.
20:57I want to stop and enjoy some stuff.
20:58All right, Grant, how's the traffic going, buddy?
21:05What's in this?
21:05Traffic's annoying.
21:08Yeah, I'm going to burst around here.
21:09You ready?
21:09Let's try.
21:09Yep.
21:10Am I clear?
21:10Yep.
21:11Okay, good.
21:11God, another traffic light.
21:14Another traffic light!
21:17Sorry, mate.
21:18You're all right.
21:18Sorry.
21:19You're all right.
21:19I get it.
21:20I get it.
21:21I've called you a lot of names in this trip and I just want to apologise.
21:24I'm not proud of most of the things I said about you.
21:27No, it's okay.
21:28You know, it's a high-stakes game.
21:31And, you know, we like winning.
21:34We'll be hugging at the end.
21:35Yeah.
21:35We'll be celebrating.
21:37Yeah.
21:37It won't.
21:38We'll have forgotten about all the horrific things that I called you.
21:40And we'll be good, right?
21:41Yeah.
21:42It'll be good.
21:45I'll tell you all, if you are on the water flick,
21:47you want to be in an action fire, this thing is amazing.
21:49Oh, it is an absolute dream.
21:52Hey, well, those two suckers are caught in traffic.
21:54I can see our destination in the distance.
21:56Why don't we just pull in here to the left?
21:58In to Shelly.
21:58I don't know.
21:59Are you sure we have the time?
22:00Yeah, yeah.
22:01It's worth a look, man.
22:02It's the most beautiful spot.
22:05Hey, Flip, we'll just stop in here at Shelly.
22:07It's a perfect spot for a snorkel, have a swim, a bit of lunch.
22:10We're in a race.
22:11I don't want to lose to those two.
22:13We've got all the time in the world, mate.
22:15Trust me.
22:17Let's check this thing out, right?
22:18We found the wipers earlier.
22:20We know they work.
22:20What else?
22:21What's this?
22:23Oh, no.
22:23Oh, stop it.
22:25Wait.
22:25Oh, wait.
22:27You thought there was plenty of space on board before.
22:29What?
22:30Check this thing out.
22:32Oh, ho, ho.
22:33It's like a little toy box.
22:35Oh, what?
22:37Open sesame.
22:42You got some toys down there, Flip.
22:44Yeah, I made a bit of a fishing rod.
22:45Oh, look at this.
22:48Oh, you beauty.
22:49Hey, Rob, and look what I found.
22:51Oh, get out there, mate.
22:53You've got to put this one to good use.
22:54You're doing great, mate.
23:17You're doing great.
23:18There he is.
23:20Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
23:24It's no secret.
23:41When it comes to fishing, I'm kind of a big deal.
23:44There is a real art to casting.
23:48Watch and learn.
23:55I'm on.
23:56I'm on.
23:58Yeah, I'm making this look easy, but it's a lot harder than it looks.
24:02Some sort of ray.
24:05Hang on.
24:10Yeah, OK, that's an anchor fish.
24:15Hey, before we get back to the great race, how was our recent adventure where we got to sample cruising in absolute style on board?
24:22Do you remember?
24:23So good.
24:24Carnival Splendour.
24:26We came in hot.
24:27We had a great time.
24:29Some of us took it a little too far.
24:33They loved you, buddy.
24:43We are on board Carnival Splendour, this magnificent ship we've left port, your all first-time cruisers.
24:57Yes!
24:57How's it going?
24:58It's exciting!
24:58This one is very exciting.
25:00What are you looking forward to most, Robbie?
25:01Oh, getting into some warmer air.
25:02That'd be nice.
25:03TD?
25:03Um, look at this view.
25:04Most beautiful harbour in the world.
25:05Yeah.
25:06I've kind of never seen it from this angle or height.
25:07I've never seen it from this angle or height.
25:09I've never seen it from this angle or height.
25:11It's a great time.
25:12It's a great time.
25:13That one is very exciting.
25:16What are you looking forward to most, Robbie?
25:18Oh, getting into some warmer air.
25:20That'd be nice.
25:20TD?
25:21Um, look at this view.
25:23Most beautiful harbour in the world.
25:24I've kind of never seen it from this angle or height.
25:27Yes.
25:27So I'm drinking in the vista.
25:29Very good.
25:29Flick.
25:30I heard there's a lot of bars on this ship.
25:34Hello!
25:35My family!
25:36Mummy wants a shardy.
25:38The other big question is, did you bring the chef jacket?
25:41Yes, I did!
25:45Who's ready to holiday?
25:46Oh, we need one.
25:47Me!
25:48This guy!
25:49This guy.
25:51And what better way to kickstart the Carnival Cruise than a sail away party?
25:57And it didn't take long for us to make complete fools of ourselves.
26:14After the welcome party, we were invited.
26:21We'll see you next time.
26:22Thanks, Rhonda.
26:24Thanks.
26:24Thanks, Rhonda.
26:41After the welcome party, we were invited up to the bridge
26:45under the condition that we were not to disturb the captain
26:49and remain silent.
26:51But as usual, Rob just couldn't help himself.
26:55This one here too.
26:59Straight across.
27:02Backed off the speed a touch, have we?
27:07There.
27:08Look at Edwando's.
27:09I don't, but I'm trying to feel comfortable here either.
27:13Definitely not comfortable.
27:14It's easier.
27:16It is the season.
27:18Whale watching?
27:20Yeah, whales.
27:22You spot any other than?
27:24Not today.
27:27He does not belong here.
27:30I'm not comfortable, he's asking questions.
27:33Stop.
27:34It's going to Manly.
27:35Straight across to Manly.
27:37It's where they normally go.
27:38Shut up.
27:39Shut up.
27:42That's what it feels like, almost 10 knots.
27:49Jumping.
27:50Thank you, Bobby.
27:55Yeah, right, yeah, you're sitting on 10 knots.
27:57Just probably want to back that off just a touch.
27:59What?
28:00Who are you talking to?
28:01It's Eduardo, the captain.
28:03Who's just there?
28:04Eduardo, you got comms?
28:08We good?
28:09Are you sure you know what you're doing?
28:11Well, if he'd listen and...
28:13About now's a good time to take that right.
28:15Despite Rob being such a nuisance, once we exited the harbour, the captain was happy to speak with us.
28:27Eduardo, our crew is Felicity.
28:29Hi.
28:29Nice to meet you.
28:31Myself is Tom.
28:33This is Manlyou.
28:35And Rob.
28:36Good job this afternoon.
28:37I think you know Rob already.
28:40Good job.
28:40Good job.
28:41Do you feel the pressure of having precious cargo of a lot of people on board?
28:47It's always the same.
28:48I mean, you're responsible for about 5,000 people on board.
28:52Wow.
28:53Yep.
28:54Do you feel the pressure?
28:55I'm just looking before how you give all the orders to all your officers.
28:59It's quite amazing to be looking from the background how you all communicate.
29:03It's almost like right in the kitchen, you're the head chef and that's your sous-chef.
29:07Yeah.
29:08I find it fascinating how you keep it so cool.
29:10And every team member of the bridge, they know exactly what they need to do
29:13and what the expectations are from each and every one of them.
29:17The machine moves smoothly without any limitations.
29:20Yep.
29:20But what's it like when you come into big seats?
29:23We're talking five, seven metres of swell.
29:25Three thousand guests on board, they paid for your vacation
29:28and you try to provide them with the best comfort you can.
29:30This is fun.
29:31If there is any way to avoid the storm or to avoid the bedwether
29:35or not to minimise the discomfort with it,
29:37we can reduce the speed, we can balance the vessel,
29:40we can pull the stabiliser out,
29:42we can go around the storm if time to remit it.
29:46How did you feel when you were very serious, concentrating,
29:48very important business and these clowns were around you?
29:52Yeah, he was the nice one.
29:54This guy, yeah.
29:55Eduardo, you got comms?
29:56Backed off the speed a touch, have we?
29:58About now's a good time to take that right.
30:00It is the season, whale watching.
30:02Who are you talking to?
30:03It's Eduardo.
30:03Eduardo.
30:04Eduardo.
30:05Eduardo on my cue, we're going to take a hard right.
30:08Do you reckon he'd make a great captain?
30:10No, I'm not.
30:11No.
30:14He's going to punch you in the face if you say shit.
30:16So up here, we've obviously, it's super serious business,
30:19navigating the ship out of the harbour.
30:22Downstairs, though, there's a lot of partying going on.
30:24Yep.
30:24A lot of bars, a lot of people being entertained down there.
30:27You can't mix those two, can you?
30:30Unfortunately, no.
30:31I have to be a PR, I have to be responsible on the job.
30:34The second one, at least the worst one, is that I'm getting too old for that.
30:38Oh, damn it.
30:38What is the attraction to cruising for people?
30:41Why is it so popular, do you believe?
30:43Because you can have it all at once.
30:45I mean, you've got accommodation, you've got fun, you've got food,
30:48you've got everything.
30:49You travel at the same time, you see more places at the same time.
30:55And you're at sea.
30:56And you're at sea.
30:56You put a lot of smiles on people's faces.
30:59Does that feel good?
31:00Yeah.
31:01Yep.
31:02Think about the tumble there, but they've had a dedication for their lifetime.
31:04So we try to give them the best possible, and we'll try to exceed their expectation.
31:10Yeah.
31:10Thank you, sir.
31:11And that's a man, eh?
31:14From one to another.
31:15Come on.
31:17He hated him, for sure.
31:18Have you seen one of these before, Felicity?
31:24No.
31:25Never.
31:26Never seen one of these?
31:27No.
31:28You haven't lived.
31:29And so you're telling me that you know what you're doing here?
31:31Oh, God, yeah.
31:32Yeah, a bit of flat water freestyle jet skiing.
31:35Oh, mate, I've added a couple of extra cc's to this bad boy, the old black dragon, I call
31:40her.
31:40She's a weapon, and you watch, to the moon, baby.
31:44To the moon!
31:47Have you ever ridden a jet ski in your life?
31:49Oh, thousands of times.
31:50I don't believe it until I see it.
31:52You don't have a centre of gravity this low and not put it to good use.
31:55You know what I'm talking about?
31:56All right, mate.
31:56You ready?
31:57I'm ready.
31:58Let's see.
31:58You're laughing, you're laughing, but you just wait.
32:01Step back and enjoy the show.
32:03All right, mate.
32:04Let's see it.
32:05I was born to fly.
32:07Woo!
32:23It's heavier than I remember.
32:25Do you need a hand, mate?
32:29So professional.
32:29No, no, no.
32:30You need a bit of a hand.
32:31No, I'm good.
32:32Just out there if you can.
32:48Well, he's starting to look super ugly.
32:51Like, I really do not believe that he has any skills on this machine whatsoever.
32:56When he's in Struggletown right now, having an absolute shocker.
33:08That's the ground, mate.
33:10Oh, my God.
33:12In surfing, we'd say, total kumbo.
33:25It's getting a bit more positive.
33:27Nice to meet you.
33:29Holy s***.
33:33Game show, Grant, ain't just a pretty face move.
33:36Did we see that aerial maneuver?
33:39How is it going?
33:51Oh, my God.
33:52I got to go.
33:56I gotta go.
33:59I'll be right back.
33:59Good night, look.
34:01Is it going to be a new year old, darling?
34:03When he's in school?
34:04It's going to be a new year old, and that's, my old guy.
34:05But it's going to be a new year old.
34:06We're going to be a new year old, and that's going to be a new year old.
34:07Are you kidding me?
34:14Are you kidding me right now?
34:24Oh my God!
34:27Super impressed, super impressed.
34:30I'd have to take back what I said.
34:33I'm sorry.
34:36I'm sorry, I'm sorry okay?
34:39He's really good.
34:42Look at him go.
34:50You've got to be kidding me.
34:52Are you kidding me?
34:54You're sitting there eating chips.
34:56You had me going this whole time.
35:01Are you freaking kidding me?
35:04What are you doing?
35:06You've had me on this whole time.
35:08You're an imposter mate.
35:10I'm not saying I couldn't do it.
35:12I'm just not doing it.
35:14But you'd rather sit here and eat salt and vinegar chips.
35:16How good is he?
35:18I taught him everything I know.
35:20Everything.
35:21I'm sure you did mate.
35:23I'm sure you did.
35:24Welcome to television.
35:26Rookie.
35:27I thought you were Australia's sweetheart.
35:33I am.
35:34Hey bro!
35:35Good job okay.
35:36That was wild.
35:37Jokes aside.
35:38That was insane.
35:39I appreciate it.
35:40We've worked very hard on that one.
35:41That is so athletic man.
35:42The way you toss that thing around in the sky.
35:43Not that I couldn't do it.
35:44It looks pretty easy to be honest.
35:45But oh my God.
35:47What's your favourite trick?
35:48Impersonating Grant Daniel?
35:49Yeah probably.
35:50That one or yeah when I do a flip take my arm, one of my arms, one of my legs off.
36:04No way.
36:05Do you have a name for that like move?
36:06It's got to have a cool name.
36:07Yeah it's called a 50-50 because half your body is hanging off the ski and half of it's
36:11hanging on.
36:12You're pretty hard of breath right now.
36:13Is it really demanding on the body?
36:15Very demanding.
36:16All jokes aside man, I want to see you in like just full weapon mode.
36:19Alright.
36:20Is that okay?
36:21Let's do it.
36:22It's a beast.
36:23Unleash it.
36:46So I'm about as comfortable with this in my hand as you might be with an apple in
37:04yours.
37:05I was born to ride this thing.
37:07Got to join the tour at one point.
37:09Said no.
37:11Here we are. This stick may look a little bit small, but it's not the size of the stick that counts, is it?
37:18It's the way you use it. Watch and learn.
37:21All right, everybody, back to the great race where we're all dying to find out what's going on in his win at all costs.
37:41And things are heating up.
37:45Rob and Flick, watch and weep. We are coming around the bends.
37:50We're almost there.
37:53We gotta go. We gotta go.
37:58We know you're way back there, man. So enjoy the trip. Take your time because we're going all the way to the finish line.
38:08Most importantly, suck it.
38:10Rob, Rob, we've left in. We can't let them win. They're on the bends.
38:13What?
38:14They're on the bends.
38:15Hey, listen, it's okay. Don't panic just yet. I've got a failsafe.
38:18We got this in the bag, baby.
38:19Yeah.
38:20You know what I mean?
38:21Victory!
38:22George, George, they're approaching you now. They're in a green defender. I need you to pull those suckers over and hold them as long as possible.
38:29Arrest them, eh?
38:30What?
38:31It's probably a little bit harsh. Okay? Just hold them as long as you can.
38:36Oh no!
38:37What's this?
38:38Are you kidding me? What RBT?
38:42What's this?
38:43What's this?
38:44Afternoon, gentlemen.
38:45Hello, officer. What's this?
38:46Random breath test. Can I see your license, please?
38:47We're actually in a bit of a hurry.
38:48To be honest, I don't care. Have I seen you before? Have I seen you?
38:52I do a bit of television. You might be from there. No, I don't recognise you. Thank you.
39:11And you reckon we could pace this up a bit?
39:15I'll be needing you to count from a thousand backwards, please.
39:17A thousand backwards?
39:18You heard me.
39:19What happened to five?
39:21I'll make it two thousand. We'll start at a thousand.
39:24Oh, here we go.
39:25A thousand.
39:26Cops.
39:27999.
39:28998.
39:29997.
39:30998.
39:31992.
39:32I am loving this. This is the best. Keep it going. Keep it going.
39:40When do you get to have this much fun? If I don't know how fast this thing was,
39:47I reckon we could have spent another half hour about it.
39:50555.
39:53Oh, come on, GD.
39:55554.
39:56Let's go, mate.
39:57553.
39:58552.
39:59We've got to win this thing.
40:00Yeah, okay, we will.
40:01Bring the boat to do it.
40:05Five, four, three, two, one.
40:10Okay.
40:11Soon to be fine.
40:12Have a good day, boys.
40:13We're good to go.
40:14All good.
40:15Thanks so much.
40:16Thank you for your service.
40:20They're finished.
40:21They're back on the road.
40:22We have to get around that headland.
40:23We can't let them win.
40:24We cannot let them win.
40:25I thought the cop was supposed to hold them longer.
40:27Let's go. Faster.
40:29Alright, you want faster?
40:30Yes.
40:31Hold on.
40:32Let's go.
40:33We're going to lose this.
40:34I've got one last resort.
40:36The absolute last resort.
40:37Release the duck.
40:38What is that?
40:39It's in the middle of the road.
40:40What animal is this?
40:41It's a duck.
40:42Why is it there?
40:43Stop.
40:48Nice.
40:49Get out of the way.
40:51I need you to take the wheel.
40:52Okay.
40:53I want you to whip me in.

43:24into the Red Bull Clip Dive World Series,
43:28where he attempts a death-defying 27-metre dive
43:32with hilarious results.
43:35We head to Fiji for an epic toe-in surf session
43:38with our Golden Girl flick.
43:40We party like it's 1999 at 7th Heaven,
43:43where Miguel cooks up a storm.
43:45GD loses his pants, Felicity wipes out,
43:49and Team Top Knot sets BG on fire.
