"Um, so we've been traveling around America..." "Okay." "Learning a bit about the great outdoors." "Have you heard of the park ranger?" "Yes." "I have heard of a park ranger." "They go around and make sure that the park is protected and that everybody is, um, kind of obeying the rules of the park." "Oh, okay, because there's a park quite near us in Norfolk where, um, it's quite famous for where men go to meet other men." "Oh." "They found each other by using an app on their phone." "Oh, yes."

"But you didn't really need it in that park." "I think you could Chuck a rock, and you'd hit a gay." "Georgie:" "When most people see nature, they think about taking a photograph of it." "Well, when Americans see it, they think about punching it to death." "I know I do." "But we're here today to meet people who rescue alligators so they're not a nuisance for other people." "Narrator:" "Poppy and Georgie are meeting John and karina, who manage a sanctuary for unwanted and nuisance alligators." "So, what are you going to do today?"

"He's real." "Georgie:" "I thought it was a log." "I didn't even spot it." "John:" "This guy's an American crocodile." "And how can you tell it's American?" "Is it because it's just sort of lying around?" "I thought that was an alligator." "Alligators and crocodiles are different." "And the way you can tell them apart is alligators have a more rounded shape and their heads are more broad." "Is it offensive if I can't tell the difference?" "Narrator:" "Having been introduced to the inhabitants of the park," "Georgie is invited to get even closer." "The only way to find out if it's a male or a female is to put your finger in and see what you find." "You... are you joking?" "I'm not joking." "So I was hoping you might be willing to go and try to find out if it's..." "If we got a male alligator or a female." "Can I just double check:" "Are you asking me to [Bleep] an alligator?" "Well, yes, but don't go in dry." "You always want to lick your finger first." "Well, I know that." "Well, I don't know this alligator well enough." "Well, you will soon enough." "Oh, there's the hole." "There's the hole." "Can I catch a disease from this?" "No." "Because I've heard about..." "I've heard about gator-aids." "Just thought it went dry." "Oh, I'm in." "Pleasure to meet you." "Oh, look at..." "Look at his or her eyes." "Poppy:" "Get another knuckle in!" "I think, to be honest, I think it's a one-knuckle situation, poppy." "Oh, this is so vulgar." "It's smiling!" "Oh, it's a girl." "Did you enjoy the alligators or..." "I'll be honest," "I can't tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile." "Our father had a similar situation between a Chinese woman and a Japanese man." "Uh, and he got removed from the murder mystery party, spoiled the whole evening apparently." "Narrator:" "Aspiring online commentators poppy and Georgie Carlton are traveling the highways and byways of the United States investigating the great outdoors." "I feel like I'm swamped in the color beige." "This is why low-middle class people like traveling in rvs through America, because it's the same tree over and over again, the same piece of road over and over again." "And it helps to remind them that life will never get more interesting or any better." "♪♪" "Continuing their journey into the great outdoors, poppy and Georgie have come to meet some lifeguards who patrol a dangerous stretch of the Florida coast." "So, you're gonna pick this up." "You're gonna run out to your victim." "Victim?" "Somebody, whoever's drowning or..." "Oh, they're a victim already." "They're not... you're not running after your victim." "No." "You made it sound quite sinister." "Yeah, yeah." "I guess so." "One of our uncles used to call his girlfriends his victims." "Yeah, he was hilarious." "All right." "Well, here we just, we call them victims." "What if you're here by yourself, and there's two people drowning, like a very old man and a baby?" "How do you choose?" "Go for the little kid, obviously." "But then what if you find out the little kid's racist?" "Still got to get him." "♪♪" "This is the main part of our job, to get into the water."

"[ Poppy laughs ] Wha!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, no!" "It's really cold!" "Oh, it's freezing!" "No!" "No." "Georgie, you did really well." "My sausage and eggs have turned into a chipolata and quail's eggs..." "I'm not going back in there." "Would you guys work... no." "...as lifeguards?" "Maybe I could be the lifeguard who keeps a lookout and then send you guys in when you need to save someone." "So you would have to work up to that, though." "That would be our captain." "So you got to start out on the bottom." "No." "When you come from a good background, you always go straight up to captain or officer." "Yeah, because you'll probably know people from the top." "You might have gone to school with them or something." "It's not what you know." "It's who you know?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "What is your motto?" "My motto is, I mean, for lifeguarding is make sure everybody comes out here and has a safe and wonderful time." "That's lovely." "And they get to go home." "Quite the long motto." "Make sure everyone comes out here and has a safe and nice time, and they get to go home every day." "Is the ocean friend or foe?" "The ocean is a friend." "Lovely." "Why do you think that?" "I think, you know, we as human beings, we're 80% water, and most of our planet is water." "I'm not." "Yes, you are." "I might look like I'm 80% water, but I can assure you, flesh and... flesh and bone." "Right, what's your flesh made of, though?" "Water." "Blood." "Oh, okay, well, yeah." "Anyway, we can agree to disagree." "♪♪" "Some women will do anything to get people to look at them." "So we're here to meet the lovely ladies of the weeki wachee mermaid show to find out what life's like for the voluntarily disabled." "Should we go in?" "A nice fountain." "I love this fountain." "Narrator:" "Mermaids have been swimming here in weeki wachee since 1947." "They perform three shows a day using free-flowing air from the underwater pipes to remain submerged for long periods of time." "Hello." "Poppy and Georgie are meeting Mariah and Danielle, two of the mermaids." "What made you want to be mermaids?" "Um, it's always just been, kind of like, in our hometown, so drmng by it as I was growing up." "Once I turned 18, I was like, "oh, I'm gonna go try out."" "And then I got the job and it was awesome." "It's just an awesome job." "Do you think you'll always be doing this?" "Not always." "I mean..." "Is there an age limit, so would... would..." "Not necessarily, no." "I mean, we have former mermaids that come in and do their shows on the weekends, because they're from the '60s, '70s and they're still doing this." "Is that not scary for the children, a very old mermaid?" "I don't think so." "It's more like nostalgic." "I hear we're going to give it a go." "Sure." "Awesome." "Let's go." "Get our fish on." "What fun." "Narrator:" "Poppy and Georgie have been transformed into mythical creatures of the deep and wait for Mariah and Danielle to surface." "Oh, look." "Oh!" "It's like a dream I once had." "In the dream, I ended up being tucked into my cot with a peacock with absolutely ginormous breasts." "Oh, my goodness." "Wow." "Hello." "Hello." "Should we come in?" "Yeah." "Great." "Lovely." "Oh, my goodness." "It's very cold." "Yeah." "Oh, no!" "[ Groans ]" "How does it feel?" "Well, I think my fins just shrunk." "I'm not the most dignified merman." "[ Laughter ]" "Merman, uh, come from salt lake city, don't they?" "Oh, that's mormons." "Oh. [ Laughs ]" "We misunderstood." "Sound similar." "I'm not sure I've quite nailed the graceful side of things." "That's all right." "Just try to keep your ankles together and..." "Yeah, well, there's... i don't have much choice in that." "[ Laughs ]" "Just being a mermaid." "Poppy, say hello." "There's a... a mermaid poppy." "Hello." "I'm mermaid poppy." "You look like mother after her gin." "Has there ever been a mermaid who's just gone mad and killed one of the trainers?" "Woman:" "Not that I know of, no." "Georgie:" "Is it wet suit or mermaid tails that you're allowed to wee into?" "Mermaid tails." "You're allowed to?" "Yeah." "Oh, okay." "Or wetsuits." "That's good." "I'll be honest, i should have asked earlier." "Something nice, isn't it, poppy?" "Yeah." "I worry about them a little bit, though." "I'm worried they might get a bit self conscious having such a fishy downstairs." "♪♪" "How many young women, do you think, have died in this rv at the hand of a man or otherwise?" "That's a very good question." "Narrator:" "Poppy and Georgie Carlton continue their tour of the United States, hitting the open road to find out more about the great outdoors."

"I'll show you guys where do you want to... uh, where you can park at." "Yes." "We'd like... we'd like the nicest space, please." "All right." "I got you." "It's not a park, Georgie." "It's under a big motorway." "I know." "It's not like a British park, is it, where you might see a stag or an attractive lady running." "This is more like..." "It's more like a business park where the only business is crack cocaine." "Narrator:" "Once their new home is installed for the night, poppy and Georgie set off to extend some hospitality to their new neighbors." "Beg your pardon?" "Yeah." "We arrived recently, yeah." "We're just seeing what everyone likes to do with their time off and enjoy the great outdoors." "No." "This is a very noisy place to park your rv." "Where is the worst place you've ever parked your rv?" "Oh, that's noisy." "[ Siren walls ]" "Good night, poppy." "Good night, Georgie." "It's fun sleeping top to tail, poppy." "I think it's called 69, Georgie." "What's the best mode of transport in the great outdoors?" "Well, I do think an rv is the best mode of transport." "And why?" "Well, because it's kind of..." "Um, you can sleep in it." "It gets you around." "Do you not think it's a bit, uh, creepy?" "I think it's just one step up from having a mattress in the back of a van, like our Uncle Robin." "Oh." "He's dreadful." "He is, yeah." "He's an absolute pervert." "You know perverts?" "I do." "I know a few perverts." "Do you?" "Yeah." "Do you know Uncle Robin?" "No." "But I can't wait to meet him."

"What is it that's going on today?" "Well, today we're having a protest here at seaworld." "Are you pro or anti?" "We are against captmty." "Would it be possible to get involved in the protest and see how it all works?" "I would love to have you guys be part of our protest." "In fact, I'd be honored." "Oh, thank you." "So what sort of things should we do?" "Just hold up your sign." "And sometimes we chant." "Oh, like at yoga?" "What sort of chant can we..." "Are there any chants we can do?" "Um, we can do..." "One, two, three, four, open up the cage doors." "Five, six, seven, eight..." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight." "You can express it loudly to the people about how you feel about captmty." "[ Horns honking ]" "The beach is only a mile away, so why don't you go to the beach instead of buying a ticket?" "There are other things you can spend your money on, like shoes and handbags." "Georgie:" "Have you ever been to seaworld?" "I have been to seaworld." "Um, have you seen... there's, um, a very hard-hitting fishy documentary about the captmty in seaworld called "free..." "Free Willy."" "Well, "free Willy" is a movie." "Yeah."

"Oh, you can't?" "No." "You can't say black." "It's just against the rules." "What?" "You just have to say..." "Ethnically challenged."

"My friend Duffy had that once, but it was just nerves." "This is what happens to male orcas in captmty." "But it probably happens to all whales now and again." "No, it doesn't." "I've never been with a guy it's happened to, but some of my uglier friends have." "And it's just something that you pretend is okay but then talk about after." "♪♪" "Subtitles by peritta"
