Synopsis

Havoc and Newsboy's Sell-out Tour saw the intrepid pair ramble up and down the country offering their irreverent take on all things Aotearoa. This episode from the second series (subtitled 'Ratings Drive') is a deadpan homage to Discovery Channel as they go on the hunt for dangerous animals. They head to Nelson to cage-swim with sharks; then down to Waimairi Beach sand dunes to check out NZ's deadliest spider, the rare katipō. Finally they don disguises on return to Gore, the town they'd infamously outed as "the gayest in New Zealand" in series one.

Be careful in the toilets in Gore

Wees in a wetsuit is a no-no... unless it's your wetsuit 

– Havoc

If you're from Christchurch you may know that Waimairi Beach is a great place for a cruise... if you're that way inclined
