  • -Colin, welcome to the show.

  • This is unbelievable, what -- what you've done.

  • Explain what this is. The first solo crossing.

  • -So last year, I became the very first person in history

  • to cross Antarctica solo, unsupported,

  • and completely human powered.

  • So I had a 375-pound sled behind me.

  • No resupplies of food or fuel or anything like that,

  • so no one could pick me up.

  • A thousand-mile journey to get to the South Pole

  • and then to the other side.

  • No one in history had ever done that.

  • I heard -- in your opening monologue,

  • you did mention that 50% of people

  • don't change their underwear every day.

  • I may have been skewing that up

  • because I did 54 days in the same pair of underwear

  • to save on weight. [ Audience groans ]

  • -And everyone is getting a pair of his underwater tonight.

  • So congratulations, everybody. [ Laughter and applause ]

  • -So, not only -- -I mean, this is insane.

  • So I don't even know -- like, how you would get enough

  • speed to pull this thing?

  • Like, how does this work?

  • -54 days, roughly a thousand miles, 375 pounds.

  • It was very slow going.

  • The average temperature was about minus 30 degrees.

  • And with the wind blowing, it'd get minus 75, minus 80.

  • So it was a long, cold walk.

  • -It was like that in New York today.

  • -Yeah, it was -- -Yeah --

  • Tonight, you're going to announce

  • your next crazy adventure. -Yes.

  • -Oh, my gosh. What is this called?

  • This is the -- -The next adventure,

  • we're calling it "The Impossible Row."

  • Get this. I've never rowed a boat anywhere in my life.

  • But me and a team -- I'm not alone this time,

  • but a team of six of us, we're going to attempt to be

  • the first people in history to ever row a boat

  • across Drake Passage.

  • 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,

  • who's one of the most experienced

  • ocean rowers in the world.

  • But it's kind of applying this mind-set 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.

  • -Oh, no. [ Laughter ]

  • -And actually, I --

  • 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. -[ Laughs ]

  • [ Drum roll ] Absolutely no, please.

  • [ Applause ] When do you start this,

  • and how are you going to train for this?

  • -It starts in two weeks. I leave --

  • it's the month of December.

  • What's really exciting -- -Colin, what are you doing?

  • And you have a good attitude, I love that.

  • -Well, I just started rowing a boat last week.

  • So I figured I'd give myself a couple of weeks to prepare.

  • I've been preparing for a little while.

  • But what's really exciting about it is, to me,

  • the live storytelling component.

  • So when I was crossing Antarctica, I was able to send,

  • like, one kinda grainy satellite image to my Instagram.

  • People could follow it along.

  • But this time we have Discovery doing a massive production

  • around the entire thing.

  • We've got the best satellite technology.

  • So you're actually going to be able to follow this thing live

  • in real time through my social media accounts,

  • you know, Instagram @colinobrady, @discovery.

  • There's gonna be content coming out every day.

  • So when you're at home with your family over holidays...

  • -Yeah. -...you can tune in

  • and see me in a tiny little rowboat bouncing around

  • the 30-, 40-foot swells. -I am going to be doing it.

  • -And you're gonna be very grateful that you're inside

  • and warm. -Yes, I will.

  • And I'll be rooting for you all the way, buddy.

  • I have one little thing I wanted to give you, and that's --

  • since the name of the expedition is the Drake Passage,

  • here's a tiny...

  • -[ Laughs ] -...picture of Drake.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • That's Drake. [ Applause ]

  • He can go anywhere. He can go anywhere.

  • He's good luck. He's good luck.

  • -I'm going to take my man Drake with me.

  • But, you know, I've got a sat phone out there.

  • That's how we're connecting to Discovery and everything.

  • But it's not "Hotline Bling," it's going to be

  • that sat phone bling. [ Laughter ]

  • Bringing Drake with me the entire time.

  • -Sat phone bling. Break a leg, buddy.

  • And we're so psyched that you came on our show.

  • Good luck, and we'll be following you.

  • -Such a pleasure. Yeah. -Thank you very much.

  • Colin O'Brady, everybody. [ Cheers and applause ]

  • Make sure you follow along as Colin attempts

  • to make history again.

-Colin, welcome to the show.
