so that's from the southern tip of south america all the way to antarctica it's known in seafaring as the most dangerous crossing in the world, where the atlantic, and the pacific, and the southern earth's oceans all converge. like i said, i've never rowed a boat before. but we do have a great captain by the name of fiann paul, whose one of the most experienced ocean rowers in the world. but it's kind of applying this mindset to see if i can achieve something that a lot of people have said is impossible. and get it all the way across drake passage, facing, you know, 30, 40-foot waves. icebergs, the whole deal >> jimmy: oh, no [ light laughter ] >> and actually -- jimmy, i did say - i did say that there was a team of six but i left a spot on the boat open for you so -- i'm just saying.
