Lambda, lambda, lambda, nerds! Welcome to the NerdOffice!
Azaghal, what are we wearing today?
Look who's back!
Look who's back home!
The "Acre: Are You a Believer?" T-shirt!
- A classic! - Classic!!
This was one of our first models!
We're back to the past!
We've refurbished it into its 2.0 version!
And now, in a stroke of marketing genius,
- We've come back to our roots! - We're back to the classic version so many like!
Great!
So many of them have been ruined by time,
That's right.

The Lambda T-shirt is also back to Nerdstore!
Lambda, lambda, lambda, nerds!
This classic is now a neo-classic!
Back to Nerdstore!
For those who love the... It has a different color, doesn't it?

2- You answer the following question:
Why do you, viewer, deserve the watch more than me, Azaghal, webshow host?
3- Add the #MotegrappaChaos hashtag to the tweet.
Simple, easy, short and sweet.
You need to be brief and creative.
You have until July 17h to participate.

We'll choose the best answer.
If none of them are good, I'll get the prize.
I don't wish the best for you, I wish the best for myself!
So, go there and participate!
Well, Azaghal, let's watch our second-to-last NerdTour NZ video!
It's almost over. That's a shame! But...
That was, by far,
the wackiest day of the trip.
That's why my outfit today is completely wacky.
The map, Gaveta!
There it is!
You've already seen our path through North Island.
- And now, we've traveled on a plane... - Yeah, a tiny one!
It's a shame we didn't film it, but it was a 25-minute flight
from Wellington to Nelson,
- Right. - just to cross the... New Zealand strait?
[COOK STRAIT]
[COOK STRAIT] Whatever!
[COOK STRAIT] Maori Strait? I don't know.
[COOK STRAIT]
We crossed the Maori Strait, went to Nelson...
That plane flies lower than regular airliners,
so, we got a hell of a beautiful view.
So, there's a tip for you. It's worth it,
because it's really cheap,
quick, because if you go by car,
- you'll have to take a ferry... - And it takes hours by ferry!
- you have to arrive hours early, - Yeah, hours early!
Then you'll have to cross a national park by car...
Go by airplane!
It's a great view, quick and very practical.
Plus, it was cool to travel on one of those planes in which the door is a staircase.
- It had propellers, man! - Yeah, yeah!
It was cool.
- And then, we went to Nelson. - Yes, we did!
And it was unbelievably crazy.
The wacky day!
Those who have already listened to our NerdCast about the trip,
which you can find on the link below,
know we met the mayor of Nelson!
The famous... He's famous now!
Now he is!
And now, with this NerdOffice, his popularity will skyrocket!
He's running for re-election as mayor of Nelson!
We can't do anything to help him, though!
Exactly, whatever!
- But it's funny, because he had... - Did you see that spitball?
It's funny because he had like 70 followers on Twitter,
and after the Nerdcast, he went to 2,000!
I'd like to see what... And he'll follow you back, too!
Now everybody wants to follow Mr. Mayor!
Anything you need, you can say: "Help me, Mr. Mayor!"
"My bus is late! Help me, Mr. Mayor! Call Mr. Mayor!"
That's just one wacky thing on that wacky day in Nelson!
There were moustaches, people dancing tango on the street...
There were Maori tattoos out of the blue,
we went to a city which was destroyed by an earthquake,
we went looking for whales, a lot of wacky stuff!
Check out our trip through Nelson and Christchurch!
Excellent!
[NEW ZEALAND]
[NEW ZEALAND] We're changing islands now.
We're taking that beautiful airplane with propellers...
Great!
...and go to South Island. So far we've been to North Island,
and now we're going to South Island. The first city will be Nelson.
We noticed something cool when we arrived at the airport:
there's no x-ray!
It's crazy. There's no x-ray... Nothing.
It's like you're taking a bus!
Yeah, that's what it's like!
It's like: "Hey, we're in NZ, so nothing bad's going to happen. Relax!"
Amazing. Very different from what we're used to in Brazil or in the USA,
where you have to show them your passport every three steps, take off your shoes, your belt...
Here it's... cool!
But if you hijack that plane, you're not going very far!
It'll fall a few meters later!
Why did you choose Nelson?
I don't know. I wanted a city near the coast,
a city that was not very big.
There are great trails and places to see, it's close to nature,
people are very receptive...
How long have you been here?
3 weeks now. But I'd like to stay longer.
I came for a 3-month stay, but I'm looking into how I can prolong my visa,
because I'm really enjoying it. It's really beautiful here.
[TANGO MOMENT]
[JAMES UPTON - NELSON ENGLISH CENTRE DIRECTOR] [TANGO MOMENT]
[TANGO MOMENT]
[JENS HANSEN] [JEWELRY STORE]
One of the cool things about Nelson...
...is that there's Jens Hanson,
which is the jewelry store which made
the offical One Ring for Lord of the Rings.
The jeweler who made the One Ring has already passed away,
his children have taken over the business,
so they're still making jewelry.
They made some for The Hobbit.
This is a place to buy the original One Ring which was made for the movie. Let's check it out.
The One Ring: human-sized,
hobbit-sized
- and Sauron-sized. - Wow, man!
Awesome!
I found the most amazing moustache back there!
[TANGO MOMENT]
[MRS. JOVEM NERD - AGATHA] This is what farmers call "honesty box".
We're on a road, and by the roadside there is
jam, fruits...
But there's no one to sell it! Do you hear me?
- Yes. You come here and... - You get your money...
Here's the price. Five dollars for some jam.
Then, you pick what you want, put the money in this little box...
and pick it up!
- One pot of jam. Totally honest. - So I bought this and I paid for it!
There's no one here!
[Andrea - The "Portuguese" Woman]
[Andrea - The "Portuguese" Woman] Is this like a starfruit?
[Andrea - The "Portuguese" Woman] Oh, it's tasty!
Oh, it's tasty!
There's a Brazilian here saying it tastes like...
We've been going down this path for a long time now.
This is really scary.
This trail is the best!
- Yes, but going down all the way is a ***! - Going down is delightful!
This is like the ending of that Mel Gibson movie.
He lies down on the sand and watches the caravels come.
That islet over there looks like the one from The Goonies, doesn't it?
Maybe a caravel will come out from behind it? "One-eyed Willie!!"
You see that boat? It's a water taxi.
- Really? - It's a water taxi.
Indeed, we hailed it and it came over here!
- It did?! - Yeah! That's what they told me.
If you're tired, or the weather is crazy, or there's a medical emergency,
there are people with binoculars on the navigating bridge,
- looking at the coast... - Hey, hail it!
Taxi!
Do you remember NerdTour Disney in 2010,
in which we showed there were many Mickeys hidden all around
for you to find, and there were more than 600 Mickeys?
We found one here in NZ!
The expression "mana" is the most famous one among nerds.
It's often seen in videogames,
It's used as a measure of magic power. "I need more mana."
"Mana" is, in fact, a maori word, meaning personal honor or prestige.
Two deities fought over that rock over there: the God of Water and the God of Earth.
Both claimed ownership over it.
If one of them won the dispute, that meant the other one would have no "mana".
No more personal honor. So, the legend tells that they split the rock in half,
so it belonged to both of them at the same time.
The Maori say they always go for a "win-win" solution.
Not "win-lose".
That's a modern-world which has been used by the Maori for a long time.
That split rock represents that legend.
In order to come over here, we had to walk down for 15 minutes.
We walked down the Lost island trail.
Going down the stairs is easy!
Now, prepare yourselves!
What is this? A restroom?
Okay. Let's see.
No.
Up the stairs, guys!
- For now, it's okay. - Adventure!
- Come on, Deive (Azaghal)! - He is already dying!
It's nice of them to put this plank here.
But a conveyor would be much better.
Those are Maori stairs, Azaghal!
These...
are true Maori stairs. Goddammit!
There he comes!
Look what's up ahead.
Son of a ***!
20 km to see some cracked rock!
In Brazil, you can walk a straight line and find a beach! This is *** bogus!
Guys, it's okay! It's over!
It's over for me!
My pants are all dirty!
My feet are so wet, I have trench foot!
It's too much nature for only one day!
[DINNER WITH MR. MAYOR]
[THE MAYOR IS A PROFESSIONAL BOXER.]
[REVERSE CAM]
[TANGO MOMENT]
We're here in a maori tatto artist's house.
He does not tattoo just anyone. He does not have a tattoo shop.
You can only reach him through another maori.
The folks from Nelson...
...referred me to him and he agreed to tattoo me.
And then I told him about my life, more or less,
and now he's drawing the tattoo
inspired by me and my ancestors.
What does that mean?
Are you going to get your tattoo on your face?
Yeah, just like Mike Tyson!
The maori said he's honored to tattoo Azaghal,
because Azaghal is a natural leader.
He said, since Azaghal's a leader,
the tattoo should be on his face.
- But... - I think so, too.
But I won't let him do it!
It hurt like hell!
But it's done!
Is there a reason to not use deodorant? Why??
So we're here "hunting" whales,
There's one over there.
It's a trip through the Pacific Ocean, through the NZ coast,
and it's sort of an uncomfortable trip.
- It swings like hell. - It swings to the left, to the right...
There's this guy who won't stop talking.
He spends more time talking about them than looking for them.
I don't know... I wouldn't do it again, honestly.
Mrs. Jovem Nerd is feeling sick like hell.
I can't make out a word he's saying.
We stay inside and when they find a whale the boat stops
and we come outside to see the whale.
If every time that happened they shouted "WHALE! WHALE!",
- and everyone ran outside... - It would be way cooler!
...with rubber harpoons or something...
- Rubber harpoons! - It would be cooler, wouldn't it?
We have to preserve nature, right?
It's nice to see whales. They're there. They look like logs.
It looks like a log in the water.
A log that spits water!
I think we came here hoping for something that wouldn't happen.
I was expecting something like Life of Pi...
...or Free Willy.
Instead, we get nature as it is.
That's what it is like.
Aw, so cute!
We're now in Christchurch,
which looks like a typical British town,
with British-looking buildings and all.
But 3 years ago the town suffered an earthquake,
which caused a lot of damage, especially downtown.
What's interesting here is, since this is a rich and well-developed country,
they have enough money to rebuild.
After that moment of loss
and aftershock (there were many small earthquakes after the big one),
they're pretty optimistic about rebuiding the town,
They're facing this situation as a chance to reinvent the town,
to replace old and ugly buildings from the 1960's and 70's that fell down
and build a new town.
So, what the City Hall did was
listen to everyone's suggestions
about how they thought Christchurch should be like.
So the people used post-it notes... They gathered more than 10,000 suggestions
saying what they wanted the town to be like.
By the way, green was one of the most voted options.
They wanted a greener, more sustainable town.
They have a National Park just outside the town.
But they'll make it an even greener town.
Earthquake-proof too, definitely!
Another interesting thing is happening here:
Since many buildings either fell down or had to be rebuilt
due to permanent damage to their infrastructure,
there are many holes, or "gaps", as they call them.
That one behind me is one of them.
And while they don't fix those holes,
they're being temporarily used.
So here, for example, they made a... a lounge.
If you pay attention, you'll see those blue things are pallets,
those wooden structures used in warehouses,
on which you stack many things
and use those a forklift to lay it onto other stuff?
Well, they painted them blue and made some walls with them.
This is temporary and, maybe, when they build something else here,
they'll take all of this and put it together somewhere else,
and so on until the town is completely rebuilt.
They're doing that in various ways: there's a giant Monopoly board,
a miniature golf course, a soccer field...
so they're actually living their lives
while the city is rebuilt. People are no longer mourning.
People are... moving on.
It's great. Amazingly, the town is going through a rebirth.
Many people from other places are coming here
to work in civil construction and help the city rebuild,
engineers, architects, construction workers, specialized workforce.
Since the town really needs that help, the money is good for those workers.
There are many young and single people here now,
so the town is getting younger.
It's interesting to see a town where, after so many disasters and so much loss,
they are alive and kicking. That's really cool.
And the government is encouraging people vwho want to study and work here.
Exactly, work and study.
They're spreading their legs, so to speak. They need to.
We even went to a Tenacious D concert here last night!
That's nice!
So, the town's really moving on!
This is a really cool place.
It was built due to the town's need for a public space for concerts and displays.
It was built completely by volunteers.
They put this together like Lego, connecting the pieces.
They're well tied, so they won't fall, of course.
It's nice to see how people can pull through.
Since the town is being refurbished and changed,
many stores are changing addresses, because the buildings they were on went to hell.
They have to find other places. Look.
- A shopping mall in containers. - This is where the original mall used to be.
All commercial buildings used to be like that. That is the only one left.
So they made a temporary one here. There's a bank...
Let me tell you something:
I had this idea of stores in containers a long time ago.
Great!
Politically incorrect still exists here.
Way to go, New Zealand!
Azaghal is putting on his snowshoes.
We're going to experience an Antartic storm.
-8º C, now.
That temperature is okay.
Yeah, it is.
It's still okay because it's not windy yet.
But look!
Oh, this is great. I'm going to freeze!
There's going to be a simulation of an Antartic storm.
I have no gloves and my coat is open!
No pockets!
Ouch, it's so cold!
All together!
Azaghal is frozen!
It's real ice!
There's going to be a Daft Punk concert. Cool, huh?
Cool!
Those who don't know them might recognize them from Tron.
- Come on, if you don't know them... - Oh, there are people who don't!
Now this is interesting:
So we're here in another one of those "gaps"
those pieces of town they're refurbishing,
and this is a dance floor.
DJ Washing Machine!
It's a washing machine!
You put 2 dollars here...
- Now what? - Push.
We have another assistant now.
Now you plug your iPhone here...
Look at that nutjob!
Check out the wacky ***!
[CRAZY MRS. JOVEM NERD MOMENT]
Now, a reminder: Nelson and Christchurch are also very well-developed towns,
which receive many English students.
You may choose one of them to study.
- There are links to schools below. - If you're into wacky places, go with Nelson.
- It's not that wacky! - But it's cool!
Wacky is cool!
It's cool to be able to dance tango on the street,
have a boxing fight with the Mayor...
There are so many cool things to do! You can get a tattoo by Breaking Bad's Tuco!
You can do a bunch of wacky things! It's a nice town.
And Christchurch is a town which is pulling through.
Both are good choices in NZ.
If you'd like to study English in a wicked cool place... it's New Zealand!
More information below.
People are tweeting about it: "you've won me over!"
"I want to go to NZ! I've already talked to my parents!'
That's it, man!
I'm trying to win you over because it really is *** great!
I can't wait to go back!
This Week's Little Question, Azaghal! What's it going to be?
What should we request from Mr. Mayor?
- Poor Mr. Mayor! - What should we ask him for?
What to ask him for?
He should be a character, like Dragon Ball's Mr. Satan. Mr. Mayor!
- Awesome! - What to request from Mr. Mayor?
WHAT OTHER LUXURY WATCH SHOULD MONTEGRAPPA MAKE?
IRON MAN!
JAMES BOND
BEN 10!
