Episode 36 - Around the World in 4,834 Days

Did you ever think how breathtakingly loopy it would be to grab one of your dumb buddies and attempt to circumnavigate the globe using only human power? No engines, no sails - nothing! Just spit and sweat and gumption! Well, that's basically what two intrepid, inexperienced British lads chose to do, setting off from Greenwich, London on July 12th, 1994! Sarah & Joe contemplate the many obstacles and trials faced by Jason Lewis and Steve Smith on their journey around the world nicknamed Expedition 360, where they encountered everything from wild crocodiles, drunk drivers, malaria, and schizophrenia to how wise roller skating across North America was as a strategy. As you can probably guess, a fair number of lousy Forrest Gump impressions populate this globe-trotting thirty-sixth episode of It Happened One Year!
