It took 15000 feet, an active volcano and a viagra pill to get Jeremy interested in teamwork 😂
😂😂😂, funniest thing I ever read lol
He’s the worst TBH.
I though they just went as high as possible and watched eachother take Viagra
Absolute chad, imagine him telling that to his grandchildren
Well done
Clarkson: “it was time for drastic action”
Hammond: “cyanide”
“No”
“...Viagra.”
"Eh?"
"Is this the time?"
"Apparently, Viagra, for reasons unknown to science, stops you having an oedema in your lung."
@@ps2bndled I thought it was more focused on the trouser department
"We'll slow down. We're a team up here, cause this isn't funny."
Damn. Most moving moment in my eyes. Seeing that after all they did, after all the quarrels and cocking about, they're a team. Top blokes that stand side by side when it really matters
It was funny because I thought almost word for word exactly what Hammond said straight after that 😂😂

For some perspective Everest base camp is at 17,600 feet
@@jasonjohn283 Everest base camp is at 5600m or 18372.7 feet. Also apparently it takes 9 days for fit people to get up there. Really not surprised they wound up having problems pushing that much elevation so quickly.
Must be the altitude
Between this episode, the death road in Bolivia, and the Falkland Islands incident, it's safe to say that South America tried its hardest to end these guys' whole careers
The death road was in this same episode. As for south america, Colombia didnt try to kill them.
@@RoScFan wot?
Nah, it was the 15 minutes driving through Alabama
Careers? Try lives.

matt and Charlie well, if you would have watched to the end, you would realize that he was quoting Clarkson.
Alejandro Medina hay bum boy I didn't even reply to the conversation in the first place you underaged a rod
For some perspective Everest base camp is at 17,600 feet
WOW. They reached a little over 17,000 feet here. So its almost equivalent to being at that base camp.
And people stay there for a while to get accustomed to the high altitude/low pressure/low oxygen, before trying to get to the summit. They also have oxygen available, bc a lot of ppl get into trouble.
@@StofStuiver yeah they were those big oxygen masks
@@StofStuiver Yeah I think they have to camp there for 2 weeks minimum.
yes but they are talking about the drivable road and still they are wrong that is not the highest the highest is khardungla in leh ladkah INDIA and none of these can drive half way to the finish they will pee when they will see the road in fear
The massive neck comment...I was almost crying, may is the best
They had many more, which were cut from this clip.
i didnt really get it, can u pls explain it?
He was saying he needed the drink because the pill was stuck in his throat and that would be the part of him which ‘expanded’ instead of the usual target of viagra.
3 men: suffering
Cameramen: rookie levels...
Shouldn’t be shocked if the crew had o2 tanks or something
@@michaelbootes4822 The crews that follow them around almost always have safety equipment with them to keep themselves in shape and the top-gear trio if they run into serious trouble. Pretty much always the case with TV shows.
They are young men and probably don't smoke and drink as much as the three. They can follow them easily in their comfortable Land Cruisers
Those are probably camera assistants who filmed the trio in Chernobyl
Apart from there not being any camera crews here, no sign of a vehicle and even if there was, no help when they needed to get their cars started, just the three of them, as is often the case on these special events - the same as deserts or salt flats or god knows what
Sometimes I forget that the camera men have to do all the shit that they do
Crew were given oxygen masks on this one.

@@xperiaX10Android No, they used Range Rovers, as stated by Clarkson quite a few times and shown in quite a few episodes.
It was time for drastic action. "Cyanide"? "No, Viagra."
those cars needed some viagra too, or maybe the 'cyanide'
hammond: "is this the time?"
It needs more WD40
yeah as we know cyanide only helps the liver and doesn’t have any side affects
What they need is coke leaves it is what the locals use to fight altitude sickness.
Judging by the symptoms they were describing during their ascent, I think all three of them were suffering from hypoxia, with Jeremy being hit the hardest due to his age and long history with smoking _(plus, he did mention that his lips were tingling at about __5:26__)._ Props to him for choosing to turn back at around 17,200 feet, trying to continue on could have gone really badly for him as his body probably started shutting down
I came down to the comments after he said his lips were tingling, that's terrifying. Like think about any suffocation training anyone ever has had: the first thing you do is look at the lips, and if they're a bluish purple, no oxygen. He genuinely could've died, even if they had intermittent oxygen from canisters off-camera. That kind of oxygen deprivation requires a constant oxygen pump.
They all smoked at this time. Jeremy was probably the heaviest smoker, though.
Jeremy is also the biggest guy out of the three. Speaking as a tall bloke, I can attest to how awful it is to be deprived of something simple like air or space.
@@EsteemedReptile Oh, ouch. Good point, though -- I can see Jeremy's height of 6'5" _(1.98 meters)_ being a major issue too
“Im going to get a massive neck if I don’t have a drink” - Best James comment of the series
no lung nectar!!!
2:57 idk why but I just keep losing it when I hear him
"Jeremy is talking about being a team... must be the altitude." :D
Ser Schmuck haha u nailed it
Or the Viagra
Some high altitude he's showing there.
Why does jeremy have Viagra in the middle of nowhere?
It was part of their "survival kit" which they received at the beginning of the episode. It included viagra, condoms and a chainsaw.

Tonight, on Top Gear, i discover how underrated air is, James takes viagra on top of the Andes, and Richard's Toyota curse strikes once more
I wonder what the BBC must be feeling right now after a few years of trying and failing. These three are simply legendary, a one time deal the universe sent our way.
We should look better to Keep them
I just can't figure out how one punch ruined it all when this was the kind of shit they filmed and went through almost every season... I feel like they built up enough IOU's that it was required by law that they each get to punch the producers in the face.
@@burns0100 BBC got soft, woke culture ruined everything and the producer threw a hissy fit. I'd have just ask for a 50k bonus to forget the whole thing.
BBC effed up royally. These three are comedy+car gold. I will watch them until they no longer do it, and beyond.
@@MrRinreit’s not woke culture, you punch anyone at a company, you will get disciplined for it. Woke would mean you wouldn’t.
Just think.... Somebody BUILT those roads... Crazy dedication.
you can adjust the altitude with some time. start with maybe 3km adjust it then 4km etc.
+Somethingafw what are you talking about
oxygen tanks most likely?
No, your body adapts to high altitudes by producing more erythrocites or red blood cells which means that your blood can bind more oxygen. That is why the climb must be a slow one, so that you can give your body time to produce the RBC. Its also one of the ways doping works in sports - you go to a high altitude, produce RBC then you descend and they take your RBC and store them until you will compete and at that time they do the auto-transfusion which means you can give your muscles more oxygen to work with than it actually needs thus cheating into the victory.

“Do you feel drunk but unpleasant?” Best line ever. . .
Top gear messed up big firing Jeremy. Those 3 are probably some of the best ever television show presenters since the birth of Television. This particular episode was some of their best work. The production crew nailed it.
My favourite part of all of this is that these 3 travelled the world together. Drove side by side. It's something we'd all want, travelling with our best mates experiencing the world, drinking, eating laughing, driving.
Shame the BBC ruined it.
The BBC didn't ruin it, Clarkson ruined it by punching a colleague. They were right to fire him.

@@kadinothebean3419 dude what has this got to do with the joke? I know what happened to Jeremy and I know what the Grand Tour is, I was just trying to understand that George Michael joke.
High altitude isn’t a joke - you can tell how it was affecting them. What a fantastic special this was. Only they could manage to make this sort of shit lighthearted
Despite all the mockery every episode, when times calls for it, they are really close and you can tell. It's all jokes and they all know where to draw the line, "Up here we are a team". For some reason, I feel really touched by that line
There is a train in Bolivia that climbs to 18,000 ft. Naturally, it is turbocharged. There are vendors on the train selling balloons,,,, full of oxygen.
i assume you can't bring your own oxygen balloon?
A balloon doesn't last very long. YES, you can bring your own oxygen tank. BUT, just as the Top Gear people didn't think of it ahead of time, most people just don't plan for the effects of high altitude. Mt. Everest was littered with hundreds of discarded oxygen tanks until they did as big cleanup a few years ago. We don't even think about the air that we breathe.
Well pretty much every modern diesel locomotive is turbocharged. Naturally aspirated diesel engines are hilariously underpowered, the most powerful automotive N/A diesel ever made produced a pathetic 185hp.
+Fishfingers232 just hat you know, he probably ment that the boost automaticly go up the higher it gets, so more air gets into the engine, wich normaly dosnt happen on normal turbo car engine
Fishfingers232 that's not true in the slightest, I had a 6.9L n/a international diesel that made 250 hp and 473 lb ft stock at the wheels.
You can tell they are visibly not feeling good. High altitude is no joke
Not to mention they were driving across an active volcano...
VestedUTuber 'Active volcano' can sound way more dramatic than it is. They might see some steam and smell sulfur but the altitude would be a far more dangerous prospect.
VestedUTuber In that heat and very low humidity.
+VestedUTuber The whole city of Naples is located next to an active volcano, and you don't hear the inhabitants whining about it all day ;)
+AGH331
Next to an active volcano isn't exactly near the cindercone.
Jeremy: "We can either go that way which is very long"
"or we can go that way which is *short* "
*pans the camera at Richard*
I took a pill in the Andes, to show Clarkson I was cool, and when we finally got over we felt ten years older but fauk it, it was something to do
I'm livin out in Bolivia, I drive a carbureted V8 powered Range Rover just to prove....
"It was time for drastic action"
"Cyanide"
"No, viagra"
Never thought I'd hear that conversation in a car show.
@@R0ckFreAK4eva "car" show

+Manitha Chandrasena What about Jeremy? An ancient Range Rover that's reliable?! That's just borderline blasphemy.
+TraustiGeir yeah, but that was faked, it is actually a toyota drivetrain!
***** Explains a lot. Did they mention that?
Maybe before they started filming, Jeremy secretly swapped the drivetrains of the Range Rover with the Toyota's so that Jeremy's car can run with not much problems and the Toyota is running badly.
ToperMasterComedy I wouldn't put it past him.
2:42 Nitric Oxide. Opens the hemoglobin in your blood, allowing more oxygen and will bond with oxygen bringing more oxygen to your body.
Also works as a minor blood thinner, which increases blood flow and pressure in other situations...
2:30 - "Cyanide?" - "No, Viagra."
Just a conversation between some blokes, out of air to breath, standing on an active volcano.
I got a migraine just watching this. So, now we know what turns Clarkson into a rational human being: lack of oxygen lol
ya me too!
Hey, it keeps a man honest with himself and the world 😂
I felt out of air watching this
I felt so out of air that i had to check through my oximeter if i was getting enough oxygen lol
it’s either that or the Viagra
I had so much respect for them for this. They're all in their 50s, none of them are exactly what you'd call in peak condition. I know it's an entertainment show and they were being paid, but still. They were all doing something that damn near killed them.
Hammond was 40 when this was done
Hammond is quite fit
Yeah, commendable but their age is fine. This would be hard on anyone who hasn't taken the time to adapt to it. First couple days are the worst with 2 weeks before full adaptation. There's a documentary on here about a train in china that goes to some similar high altitude place and a lot of the people had a hard time adjusting.
Fit, and age are contributor, but the most important factor is time. If have have enough time to let the body adapts, they will be just fine. Just don't climb up too fast, like in few days.
There's no way they were actually at risk in this lol
Omg this reminded me when I went to Chimborazo in Ecuador. The higher we drove up, the sicker I got. Feeling a little PTSD while watching this. High altitude is no joke! 😱😷
When a plane cabin depressurizes, the pilots will descend to 10k feet for the passengers to be able to breathe. The top gear crew really risked their lives for us.
They didn't, a human can breath easily up to 20,000 ft., and the 'death zone' only starts at 26,000 ft. They were uncomfortable, but do you really think the BBC lets them risk their lives for a TV program?!
@@AGH331 yeah, but thats if you acclimatization properly. If you come from sea level, the risk of HAPE and HACE starts at 8,000 and gets progressively higher as you increase your elevation.
I’ve been as high as 14,440 and it was a real struggle doing anything physical at that altitude. 17,000 is just insane!
@@AGH331 as well you have to take in ti fact that those people are fit and have done mountain hiking/climbing all there live will james, hammond and Jeremy have or still are all smokes and not having the best fitness in the world
@@AGH331 easily? not for 3 old men 2 of which are quite fat
@@AGH331 "Easily"? lol where did you get that from. Above 5k is pretty rough, you actually lose neurons by the minute. Some people exceptionally trained get to Everest peak (8,8k meters, 24k feet) and almost die. I have been close to where they are, I got to 5,3k; you need at least a day to acclimatize properly or you feel like crap. There are also low oxygen zones ("zona de puna"), because altitude is not the only factor to consider: temperature, humidity, winds, pressure, all influence oxygen availability and intake.
Clarkson: ‘Its time for drastic action...’
Shows pill packet
Hammond: ‘...Cyanide.’

I bet Hammond really appreciated being the youngest among them, not to mention being genuinely quite an athletic bloke. This looked brutal for May and Clarkson but he seemed a bit better off
Hammond also keeps a relatively healthy diet among the trio. Clarkson would probably give up long bef they hit 17200 ft if he had to drive Hammond's vehicle.
2:30 Hammonds - “Is this the time?” line was class
17.000ft is serious business, they're not over reacting or anything. still, thousands go through the 'Khardung La' worlds highest motorable road which is in himalayas, India.

You have to commend the camera crew in this episode, what the boys were going through, they were experiencing too, but they still managed to make a great episode.
They had oxygen masks
5:25 An explanation for "Lips Tingling".
High Altitude --> Increased Respiratory Rate --> Respiratory Alkalosis --> Alkaline pH displaces Hydrogen from Albumin --> So, Albumin traps Calcium, instead. --> Low Ionized Calcium --> Tingling and Numbness around mouth/lips.
But did you take into account the intermolecular structure of Hydrogen and the pka of the acid in the solution? Sounds to me like you've misrepresented the reaction. It would in fact be an organic titration. Could be wrong though

They should've chosen cars with turbos - in higher altitudes they pump more air in the engine.
superchargers would be better
+ben leijokariolosunde Why? SC's always run at the same ratio no matter what air pressure is outside, turbos, on the other hand, have a target boost and adapt their spin speed to get there. Or you're talking about reliability?
+ComandanteJ Superchargers can generate more air at lower rpm's than turbochargers. They're not going very fast, so superchargers would be better for the rpm's they're doing
+Hans Dampf i live in bolivia and believe me compressing air in such a big altitude is really hard, turbo cars struggle a lot there specially when they are using gasoline instead of diesel. the lack of air means that the turbo or supercharger will build boost on higher rpms, trust me i used to have a wrx.
+Hans Dampf only at higher rpm, old 4x4s didnt have them, a turbo requires exhaust gases and there might be very little as the engine is already starved, a supercharger would put strain on the engines, for those cars forced induction isnt necessary as you have 3.9litres of V8 and possibly a twin carb setup,
May: I'm going to get a massive neck if I don't have some of that.

mad respect to the people who have paved the road when it's so difficult to just drive

It won’t be as much of a problem once a person is acclimated to the altitude
these were not paved roads. but there are actual paved roads even higher than this and all are in India
Humans can get used to the high altitude, and I'm sure vehicles can be tuned for it too

Copied comment
I’ve been at 16000 feet in a vehicle, I was fine as we climbed, it was an enclosed vehicle so we effectively took our own bubble of air with us, breathing easily no issue at all, then we stopped at a viewpoint, opened the door and got out, went to take a breath, nothing just felt like I was holding my breath, I immediately went lightheaded and woozy, I had to take 5 or 6 really deep breaths to get some oxygen and clear the lightheadedness, barely managed to walk 30 feet to the viewing platform constantly having to breathe really deeply. It’s no joke at that altitude. Ok so we had been over 10000 feet for a week by that point so had acclimatised a bit but also climbing that day with a bubble of air then jumping out at 16000 feet will have amplified the affect. I will never forget trying to take that first breathe and there being nothing there, quite a shock.

I keep forgetting that the camera men have to do all the crazy things they do too , RESPECT!!
To put this into perspective the Cartencez pyramid is at 14k feet, and Aconcagua is at 20k or so feet. Everest base camp is at 17k feet. This is REALLY damn impressive. They climbed 17000 feet in 1 day. Elbrus is at 18510 feet, part of the seven summits, and they reached a max height of 17k feet.

Jeremy quit smoking too
Larry Jepson And had to drive a Koenigsegg to substitude the nicotine-craving.

All three of them have since quit smoking -- if I remember right, Jeremy quit in 2017 for two reasons: one, for the sake of his kids, and two, because he nearly died from double pneumonia in August of that year
For those interested, 17200 feet is a similar altitude for the base camp at Mt Everest
