From clandestine late-night negotiations with stressed Russian cargo plane operators to moving hundreds of thousands of dollars in a shopping bag through London streets, Maximillion breaks down the exact moments Gumball transformed from a rebellious road trip with Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew into a globally recognised billion-dollar lifestyle empire. BEST MOMENTS "There was never ever an idea to even do a car rally. It sort of happened organically because I got a bunch of sort of friends together to support my ambition and dream to have a Formula One team” "We do have a still of 242 mph on the clock in Texas. Back then that's decent." "I owed nearer to 200 grand for these planes."
