[ laughter ] and a gang of smurfs is wanted by the cops. >> the man says one of the smurfs -- the man said one of the smurfs dids did asked him for a light. >> gayle will tripe to tell us the victim's mysterious story. [ mumbling [. a record-breaking heat wave is causing all kinds of problems across australia including fires and images are popping up all over the internet. more than 200 wildfires have been reported in southern australia and on the island of tasmania, with the difficult temperature, temperatures of more than 104 degrees fahrenheit, it's really tough for firefighters to get these blazes under control. >> look at these terrifying images. a family in tasmania, they sought refuge under a pier. >> nowhere to go but under the water? >> they were surrounded.

>> we saw tornadoes, a fire coming towards us. the next thing wep knew, everything was on fire everywhere. >> the family made it out safe. the children were away when this happened. they were reunited, everyone okay. no one injured. >> i also want to show you this footage that is heartbreaking shot by a volunteer fire fightner tasmania. >> real bald day. real bad day. >> you see the footage is of a neighborhood, and more than 90 homes were burned due to fires in this area, and this firefighter is so emotional, apologizing for not being able to gelt these fires under control. in particular, one of the homes he's focused on is his brother's. >> i'm really sorry. i couldn't get down the hill. falling down everywhere. i just couldn't get down the road. >> reporter: you can see other firefighters just trying to fight these blazes as they move from home to home to home. >> my heart goes out to him and all of these people who got

caught during this tough time. >> just to remind us of what firefighters do, he praises the firefighters who are out there trying to work their way through this neighborhood. >> the legends -- >> calls them the legends. so far no deaths reported as a result of these fire, but they're still trying to locate some people who were in these neighborhoods where all of these homes were burned. >> real bad day. real bad day. lots of winter weather up north has led to a lot of conditions like this out on the roads. this is back on december 7th. this is in bloomington, minnesota. the road you see icy, slick conditions. this car's trying to make a left, but left kind of turns into just straight, because -- >> ah! >> keep going, keep going, keep going. this car comes from the other direction, and hits him in the trunk and then it actually knocks the power out from this utility pole that they both kind of crash into. >> wait a minute. i don't mean to laugh, but the

very first thing the guy does is light up a smoke. did you notice that? the driver. boom-crash. click. that wasn't even five seconds after he crashes into a telephone pole, he lights up a smoke and says, well, going to be a long night. >> i actually didn't notice that. >> you can hear the guy's engine, the first guy that runs into the telephone pole, he's trying to power his way out of this spin, but it's just not working. his tires are spinning. throughout the video you do see other kaurs de cars deal wig th conditions. here this suv, a turn, a fishtail before turning off this road on to this side road and kind of just regrouping. >> seems like a tough place. what you're looking at is video from the uk, and this is from a pet shop. the store owner was baby-sitting

a baby cat and her kittens. first appear, in the video, a child holding a kitten. the kitten is grabbed from this child, pushing somebody out of the way and seems to be telling her to hand her something. watch what she does. unceremoniously just throws the cat in there, bending down to zip the bag up -- >> just walked out of the store? >> walked out of the store. the police are looking for this woman. they released this video. now, in australia, a completely different kind of crime. the suspects, the smurfs. you see somebody in white pants, and maybe wearing a really skin-tight blue shirt? no, no, no, no. four men dressed as smurfs are wanted for the questioning of an assault. apparently man was standing outside of this convenience store said one of the smurfs asked him for a light? >> the smurfs asked for a light after beating up a guy.

>> yeah. the man says one of the smurfs -- >> gayle really loves odd stories. [ bleep ]. >> the man said one of the smurfs asked him for a light. >> got that. we got that. we established one of the smurfs asked the man for a light. >> he didn't have one, and he said a short time later somebody assaulted him. so the police don't know if the smurfs were guilty of the assault or somebody else. that why they're wanted for questioning. >> they just want to find the smurfs so they can talk to them? they should look under all the mushrooms in the field. >> yeah, right. men and women have many different drives standards and practices. this is what shows what happens when those two worlds collide. >> i'm not cooking. >> apparently in taiwan. see that car that's about to park. oh, boy, it's not. pushes that car into a car, and that car into a car ahead of it.

just making the space a little bigger to fit i think. >> let me ask. that's the dude. that's the guy driver. >> let me out. >> i had this loosely translated. he believes whas happening is husband and wife areband is dri. the woman is grabbing at the wheel. >> oh! that's sad. >> yes. and that could be what caused this crash, but you see the door pop open. she gets out as the car is in reverse, and knocks her down. it's hard to tell if she got run over or not, because it's that palm tree that's in the way, but she appears to be fine, because she gets up, pickups a few things. looks like maybe some shoes and walks away like nothing ever happened. >> that is not the way and place to have a fight. >> yeah. that's never going to end well. a missing wheel on a plane makes for a xarscary landing.

>> to make things worse, this is a 21-year-old student flying solo. >> find out how this student's long flight all went down. and a bicycle team claims they get a natural boost from -- >> lots and lots of cabbage. doesn't taste great, but it works for the team. >> what? what works for them, nick? >> well, don't toot your horn too i do interior decorating

[ laughter ] luckily it was a slow-motion strike. >> the others needed to move over just a hamp to the right.

>> the bowling sound effect. i think they're on the way to a 300 game. from there we go to some snow human pinballing. this guy's in whistler ridge, british columbia, hitting up the old untapped powder in the back country, but you see he's kind of caught up on a rock and about to drop in all the while holding his camera on this long stick. >> oh! ooh. >> but you see, that didn't go so well at all. the camera spun around. snow falls over the lens here. craig, nowhere to be found. that's his buddy. what's funny is, before checking on craig, the guy makes his way over to the camera and picks up the pole the camera's attached to making sure it didn't get bent before making sure that his buddy's okay. you see craig right there. he's way down there. you see his camera way up the hill. >> wow. he rommed pretty far. >> he put it on facebook because he says he got a bruised hip and

ribs from this, and this is wipe you go out with friends, especially in the back country. if he would have broke his leg, he's stuck out there forever, no one to help. imagine the peace and tranquility of living in the sky? >> oh. >> hmm. >> like, in the clouds. this is called city in the skies, and it was an artist's idea, a creation, for getting people in the hustle and bustle of cities to a place of tranquility to a place of peace, a place where there's no stress, no pollution, no traffic noise. this was all part of the meg trop liss project which began in london a few artists, different companies were invited to come up with new concepts for cities. >> the inspiration for this design was the lotus flower. >> hmm. >> oh. >> and look at this. the cityscape we're looking at in this artist's rendition is

supposed to be new york, and this city in the sky is built up from the ground above the city. this artist believes that when you live in a city, you long to connect with nature and with gardens and with wildlife, and that was the idea behind this creation. >> i want to live up there. it doesn't look like there's any housing. it just looks like a park. >> i think there's houses in the lotus housing bloom area. people live there. this is just now trending. i think people are getting excited, looking towards the future now that we're in 2013. some of you may have heard the old phrase -- [ inaudible ]. >> never heard that. not once. >> you have a lot of jars in your house? >> instead of pooting in a jar,

they poot on their bicycles. theoach heersays, eat your cabbage. lots and lots of cabbage. doesn't taste great, but it works for the team. >> what works for them? >> are their poots so enormous that it blows them forward? >> of course. yeah. it totally works. here they are, coach yelling at them. the little turbo boot of a poot sends them flying down the road. the natural way of getting a boost, or it's a commercial for -- okay, which i believe is a gasoline credit card in denmark. >> i didn't think it could be possible, because if you eat that much cabbage, you're bloated, heavier, don't move at quickly on a bike. you want to be sleek. >> how does that relate to a credit card? >> a gasoline credit card. they're relating gags with -- >> ah. >> saying if you get this credit card, you'll be able to afford your gas and not have to poot your way through town. >> you won't have to eat

cabbage. >> it's funny now that i know it's a commercial. it's your very own beaux dwyer photo shoot. the story behind the sexy photo shoot next "right this minute." checking out a cruise ship with this guy. >> a [ bleep ] -- [ bleep ] adult pool, indoor pool [ bleep ], outdoor pool. >> see the ship and meet the funnyman tour guy. and a moose on the move gets a close-up. >> oh! >> instead of running away, the moose turns around and starts walking right up to the camera. >> watch the meeting, "right this minute."

there's a lot of stuff to do on cruise ship. >> we're on a [ bleep ] tour ship. >> let's go on tour. >> i'm going to give you a [ bleep ] tour. indoor poor [ bleep ] outdoor pool [ bleep ] bar [ bleep ] ice cream bar, sports court, ocean, ping-pong, burger grill, pizza, hazardous chemicals. art gallery -- >> ah. >> hilarious. >> i can see why he's having such an f-ing awful time. >> is he even having in fun here? let's find out, joining us "right this minute," greg, looks like had you a pretty f-ing good time on that cruise?

>> you know, to me, it's just funny to be angry about things that there's no reason to be angry about. >> were you on vacation or were you working on this ship? >> no. this was all for fun. my wife's parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and really wanted to go on a hawaiian cruise, so we took them on a cruise to celebrate their 50th. >> so much of this f-ing stuff did you actually get to do? >> listen, when you're on a cruise ship for two weeks, a really long cruise, you get to do everything, and it was ridiculous fun. >> at the end of two weeks were you ready to get the f off the boat? >> i kind of was. i was getting what do they call it when you miss land? is this too close, by the way? i've got to say, so much fun and the people on the cruise couldn't have been nicer. everybody was such a good sport, it was all just goofy fun. >> another little piece of information my co-hosts don't know here, you won a karaoke contest. against an 81-year-old man. is that the guy we're seeing here? >> harold's awesome.

81-year-old guy from canada who just loves to sing karaoke. he loves to sing karaoke, because he just loves to make other people happy. >> but you beat him! you made him second place. >> i didn't vote for myself. i would have voted for harold. >> what did you sing? >> i sang "come a little built clo bit closer". ♪ you're mine kinda man >> what did harold sing? >> harold sang "my way." there was a lot of coughing going on. that might have something to do with it. >> [ bleep ] karaoke. time for a little aerial view ofthe winter wonderland called norway. this is near oslo and a guy bip the nme of eric olti o copterca over the beautiful frost y fiels getting some beautiful shultz.

doesn't take him long to find something really, really neat. >> looks like a creature. >> it is. it's a moose on the loose in the woods. >> so he gingerly tiptoes through the forest and gets closer to this moose. he's like stalking the moose with the helicopter from afar, and you can tell the moose knows something's up. >> the moose is just as curious as these copter pilots. >> oh! [ laughter ] >> do you see this? >> instead of returning away, the moose turns around and starts walking right up to the camera. looks up in the air to see what this alien craft is hovering over his little pasture here. >> i love this. i love it. >> that is cool, man. he was able to get that thing -- right on top of that, really. >> it did them a favor by coming out from behind that bush and saying, hey, what's going on? hey? >> at the end of the video you can see the helicopter coming back to where the guys are flying.

it's the latest, greatest from one of our favorites and a few of his new friends. >> they got crazy skills here. these guys are awesome. look what they're doing. >> flying high and @hówç

it's two days before christmas. you're in a packed restaurant with 25, 30 customers including small families and a bike irfight breaks out. look to the top left of your screen. that's what happened in this popular family restaurant in

adelaide in australia. >> this is a crowded restaurant. i'm getting a little nervous about this fight breaking out. you can see families. you can see small children. >> according to police it was between the rebels bikers gang and the descendants. sitting next to each other and a fight breaks out. two days before christmas. at a popular thai restaurant, not expecting biker violence to break out. on the very next day one man on the rebels were arrested but police are still looking for the other three people involved. >> the detective says -- >> fortunately on this occasion it ended relatively quickly after a bunch of punches, but could have easily escalated and who know what's could have happened. >> he could get up to three years if convicted in this fight. that plane coming down for a landing in an airport in australia. from 10 news. what you see going wrong. look right here. this plane is missing a wheel. >> oh!

>> to make matters worse, this is a 21-year-old student pilot flying solo. the right wheel fell off just after takeoff, and this is how he had to come down for a bit of a crash landing. you see he touches down, skids out, one wing hits the ground, door pops open, but luckily. guy was okay. the crazy thing is the instruct her to talk the student through this via radio, he had to fly and circle around for five hours to burn off enough fuel before he could come down for this crazy landing. >> how stressful must that have been? that five hours must have seemed like an eternity. a student pilot, probably one of the first times for him to fly solo. for this to happen and that landing to go that way, he'll be a fantastic piloting from here on out. >> there were fire crews on the runway, sprayed it down with foam. it doesn't look like anything like a fire happened in the

cockpit so the pilot was able to walk away from this, was not hurt but, of course, shaken up from the experience. if this was his worst landing in his pilot career, i think he's all right. >> he's set up. our friend devin graham known as devin super tramp will let you know everybody's having fun. >> they all do! >> what? >> awesome. right? >> trampoline slam dunks? >> this time devin graham traveled to hungary to work with a hungarian acrobatic sports team. these guys perform these kinds of moves all over hungary and the whole ideais to make people keand they usually set these things to music when they perform. >> this is easy if you're devin graham. they got crazy skills. look what they're doing. >> that's like the halftime show as an nba game but magnified. >> the globetrotters, plus a

trampoline. >> they'd probably beat the globetrotters. >> that dude just sat on the rim. >> how fun is that job? >> how can you apply? >> let's see if you can set the ball on your finger. >> i bet we could magically do that. >> i think we all could do it. >> devin, of course, shot this beautifully. you see difficult areas across hungary, the beautiful settings, beautiful scenery, ended up looking like a heck of a lot of fun. that's our show. we'll see you next time, everybody.
