The crazy (and funny) Hitched boys are back and this time they are trekking to the Ellen Show in LA!


Russia – 
When Durban-based cousins Luke MacDonald and Jordan Deall decided to hitchhike into the heart of the Congo in search of a mythical dinosaur everyone thought they were totally crazy.

Except maybe Donovan Orr, their camera guy… he just thought they were a little bit crazy.

Their incredible trek spanned 15 000 km over 107 days and ten countries via 92 rides. Eventually, they ended up in an almost mythical pygmy village, deep in the DRC, and their incredible journey became the subject of Hitched, a ten-part docu-series produced by Tomfoolery TV.

You’d think that would’ve sated their taste for unbridled YOLO but, noooo, it’s only encouraged them to set their eyes on a bigger, more impossible-sounding goal.

Now, the boys are in the middle of hitchhiking from Durbs to LA – a cool 28 000 kilometres – in a bid to tell talk show host Ellen DeGeneres about their adventure and share their African documentary with the world.

After running a poll online as to who would be the best help, Ellen came out tops, beating Kim Kardashian, Frodo Baggins and Morgan Freeman.

“Hitched has been an incredible journey of adventure, fun, grit and the power of big-dreaming,” says David Leslie, Tomfoolery’s founder.
“We believe the team really show what it means to create authentic African content which we love. We are so excited for them to make history and tell their story to the world from Ellen’s couch.”



The trio are currently freezing their buns off in Russia, the 13th country on their trip schedule. It’s been 7 months, they’ve clocked up 16 000km and still have 10 000km to go, something they hope to cover in the next 6 weeks.



To keep up with their quest, you can follow them on social media and encourage them to keep going.

“Also, for the love of Crazyoniasis – he’s the Greek god of madcap adventure – we BEG you to please share the shizz out of their latest video and don’t forget to tag Ellen.”

Did we mention that she doesn’t even know they’re coming? Ja.

Hopefully they dont end up in some tourist unfriendly zone (which has nothing to do with the prevailing religion) , good luck .

 

[mercurial]

Sounds like the start of many horrors.

 

[Wasabee!]

They'll probably go through some region that is not friendly to gay bois.

Ellen is so staged and fake. She should try what they are doing through Africa.

it's not hitchhiking if you get a sponsored flight or ship voyage along the way ... and at some point they're going to have to get across a massive ocean so .............

Technically the biggest stretch of water to cover is 82km in order to get from here to la and you could hitch a ride on a fishing boat in the area but they probably won't go that route.

if they have the balls to try that and succeed, even I will be impressed

I expect to be underwhelmed however

 

[Polymathic]

Do they at least have US visas?

 

[ForceFate]

They were never in any real danger

 

[Mila]

Thats racist.
Why did they not invite 51% Previously disatvantaged people.

Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman did the Russia to Alaska route in Long Way Round, though they had to fly their motorcycles between Magadan and Anchorage.

Nope.
They will fall off after Russia. Will have to go West bound in Africa, Atlantic to NY and then across USA.
