The Hardest Geezer: What It REALLY Takes To Run Across Africa | Russ Cook | #76

food? So most of the time on that trip, my food came a lot from petrol stations.

Petrol stations, I could charge my phone.

So I'd normally see a petrol station a day and then I'd just stop in there.

And diet was pretty trash, to be honest.

It was mostly peanuts, like peanuts and ice cream.

I'd eat a lot of that.

Together or separately? All in, mate.

It all ends up in the same place eventually anyway.

So yeah.

What's your favourite flavour of ice cream? it though probably cookie dough yeah come on i love a bit of that um so yeah that was that was that trip you know it was it was petrol stations it was like knocking on people's doors at the end of the evening um getting water sometimes they'd give me food um just roll into the tiniest little villages in like serbia bulgaria and just see what people have got and just eat whatever they've got

What would you say? You'd knock on the door and just...

Like, agua, or whatever the language was for water.

I'd ask for water, please.

So you'd just literally

rock up? Would you

offer money for it, or would you, like...

No, not really.

No, I'd just kind of say, like, I'm running to London.

I'm really thirsty.

Would I be able to get some water, please? Like, Google Translate or something.

And then...

Often, like, mate, especially in Eastern Europe, when I got to Western Europe, people didn't really like that kind of behaviour too much.

You could imagine, like, doing that in the UK, people would be a bit like...

Yeah, that's

what I was about to say.
