Planes, Trains, and... Lawnmowers

Thrillist Explorers

Our season three premiere profiles individuals who traveled great distances in very unusual ways. Host Wil Fulton has the story of the wildest reality show you've definitely never heard of: a cross country lawnmower race that put its contestants' fate in the hands of complete strangers and tested the generosity of Americans. Comedian Tony Hawks details his adventures hitchhiking around Ireland with a mini-fridge (including how he got laid in a dog house… thanks in large part to the fridge). Doug and Arne, who hold the current "Cannonball Run" record, detail how they drove from New York City to Los Angeles in just over 25 hours without getting pulled over. And to start things off, Wil conducts an interview while jogging with Rob Pope, an English veterinarian who ran across the country several times in tribute to his favorite American movie (hint: Tom Hanks).
