      So the fact it was filmed separately on another day is what made it a cheated win.

    Jay: "I'll hitch-hike as far as I can."
    Reasonable, mundane, gets started quickly.
    Thomas: "I shall gather up some extra funds by selling my stuff on the streets to fans and then use that to get further."
    Good idea, might look into legality next time, takes a while for him to get going but eventually he's off on adventure.
    Eddie: "I'll just go door to door and see if anyone's got any jobs that I can start at instantly and get paid the same day. Or maybe gambling. I know, I'll scrounge up some extra money by 'picking up sponsors' and write their names on my shirt."

    If you ever find yourself in Limoges looking for a fitting souvenir after a dishonest bespectacled man challenged you to a travelling contest, the town is famous for its porcelain. The more you know.
    If you only manage to make it to Orléans, use whatever means necessary to leave as soon as possible and book it to Tours instead, which is much better in every way (sorry, I'm from there and there's a bit of a regional rivalry).
    Also, if you're wondering about Jay's french level, he's pretty good! Wouldn't pass for a native, but he's fully intelligible and comprehensible.
