righto all, I have to go now. Gotta get ready to learn how to be a Rodeo Clown for Crash Course season 2 on BBC America. If it goes wrong, you'll probably read about it in the papers. And I'll be reading it in hospital.

Hah! Shortest show in history right there. We should do that.

Yup. Stand up was the scariest thing I've ever done. And I notice I haven't been invited back!

Yup, it was. Well, all three were. the first one overheated and died on a bridge, the second one suffered from failed aircon (not good), but the third one was just right.

I love New York. Just been there with Crash Course doing stand up at a comedy club, driving a cab and being a Harlem barber. And I still love it there.

I love you all guys, in a real and physical way. And yes, had a kidney stone during my week's holiday from filming Crash Course. The doctors hauled it out through my old chap. Agonising and undignified and made for a lot of fun when I came back to work. Driving a new york cab when your kidney is trying to escape and…

Oh my God, you pay attention! That's from a thousand years ago. And no, it really wasn't that entertaining, not even for the sheep.

I miss them a lot, yes. But I think it's important for parents to lead by example too, and if my girls see me hurtling all over the world doing a job I love, then maybe they'll follow their dreams too one day.

It's actually from before Top Gear. A long standing motoring journalist friend of mine, Zog Ziegler coined it when I told him my wife and I were having a baby. He said it would be a Hamster....'Hammond - Hamster'. Get it?

Well it's not like we're actually off camera much. But we've all been through a lot together. So.....yeah, we still hate each other.

Sell it.

No, it really is had. But the hardest was the Danglehead Processor. that thing's harder to operate then a helicopter. The guys who do that every day are seriously skilled

Well, I look at the risk every time, but then I always did. Got s wife and two gorgeous daughters at home, I don't wanna miss out on all of that, so I make sure I'll still be going home at the end of the day.

Probably the Bowler Wildcat. That thing just opens up your head, takes out your brain and replaces it with Chilli. I go nuts every time, whether driving it in the desert, the mountains or on a glacier. It's just epic

Well I flipped one a couple of weeks back on a pipe ramp when I was learning how to be a Hollywood stunt man. It was amazing. I've been in a lot of car wrecks, obviously, but to actually do one on purpose felt weird. And no, I wasn't scared. Much

We spend so much time together, there's no way we could keep the act up if it wasn't real. We really do hate one another.

McLaren MP4-12C and just put up with the nagging at home.

I know, if I was fat no one could say anything. I often point that out. To, er, the larger folk who challenge me about it,

It's a 1934 Austin 7 Ulster racer and it's both wonderful and terrifying. I love it but it's incredibly tricky to operate. Looks cool though.

Well, to be fair, he only works about twice a year. So about twice then.
