Emanuel is the man driving a 37-year-old BMW 520i around the world. The last time he was on the show, he was in Portugal and in no mood to turn around. So he drove to Africa.He’s been on the road for 19 months now, in a car built for German highways. Kris catches up with him to hear what it took to get from Morocco to the Top Gear tree, to South Africa, and beyond... and why he hasn’t stopped.

On July 10, 1969, a cargo ship in the mid-Atlantic found a small white trimaran sailing along with nobody aboard. The logbooks were on the table. The case for the ship’s clock was there, and the clock was gone.
The boat belonged to Donald Crowhurst, who was supposed to be weeks from winning the first race to sail alone around the world without stopping. Kris tells Jake the story of the 1968 Golden Globe from inside the cabin: the contract that would bankrupt him if he quit, the house he’d put up to back it, and eight months alone at sea with what he’d started.
Fifty-seven years later, an Oregon man who learned to sail on YouTube is out there right now, headed around the world alone with his cat.

You've seen them on hoods, door handles, and dashboards in every parking lot in America. Kris looked it up hoping to find something dumb enough to make fun of. He found a story neither of us expected.
Then GM teases the biggest diesel ever put in an American pickup, the same week diesel hits a record, and Kris breaks down how the oil economy actually works. And More
