0:00 3, 2, 1 I mean it was seriously an incredible time get amped and then being able to be that close to the comedians too is is pretty awesome i mean I'll double check on that real quick, but I think so. I don't have a video here, but this is equanimity is what it's called. Gosh. And apparently what they're calling this is a dry hurricane. Or flooding insurance or something like that.

3:44 Well, I'm sure some people have fire insurance. Well, they're calling it a dry hurricane, meaning there's no wind or there's no water. Yeah, it's insane, man. That's mind-blowing. There's nowhere to get out. Apparently a giant chunk of that part of the state just got lit up. So because you can't hit their body or it goes everywhere, right? hunt with bows and they shoot turkeys with a bow but But it's tricky because a turkey is a goddamn dinosaur.

6:39 And they're vitals are, you literally are shooting an arrow at a softball from, you know, 40 yards. Indoors, yeah. i'm thinking about it no just kidding but man he's he is a monster he's terrifying a monster Made it a scary, scary dude. He didn't just do that to any guy. Yeah. And they have this highlight reel of his knockouts now. Yeah, I'm happy for Stipe to get a big fight.

9:40 remember Overeem did get him up against the cage. Overeem lunged at him, clinched with him, got him up against the cage, I mean, I get it. He's going to obviously try to stay on the outside. both against Overeem after getting hurt Yeah. Yeah, that's the big one. And if Stipe could figure out how to turn him down, Yeah. gorilla version. With Lovato. Yeah, that's awesome. And he's killing it out there too.

12:55 So as a kid. and just smashing power and pressure such a big fan of that guy around in my entire life obsessed obsessed with discipline and training the, one step away from a finish. Like you finishing finishing them even if they're about to finish you you're you're just you're just a few small steps just inches away from getting But just us feeding off each other, it's really cool, dynamic.

16:32 And then it's just in training camp. Does he speak Portuguese? I've never seen take, take a break or take off. I mean, he competed, he fought three times in And so right after he's done training, he's recovering, compete against That was the first If there's someone So I know whenever he's in camp, And he gets down to 185. Yeah. down at every every every guy he's ever fought i mean if you see other way in photos like they're

20:12 around it to where he's writing down his goals and his dreams in this month's plan, the next to give the guy props. Like he, he earned that from me at least and i think you should from pretty much anyone he competes with because um man i mean I always love when the really, the highest level guys in any discipline enter into MMA. So when you see a guy who is like Rafael Lovato,

22:04 And something special about And it's like you see the guy at the top right now who's performing at the best. Um, but yeah, that was, that was one of the big ones. So stoked that they're making things just flourish. Super pumped. well, why shouldn't we just do shows? whatever comes in, uh, today on the website, whether that's at the comedy store or now,

24:31 Waterford and then I matched it. So we got to get it off the phone. And the thing is, do you keep it in there for a while? way high speculation i'm not oh my god well this is what i'll do i'll leave it up to you guys we'll because some people accused me of not donating that money money it is and I'll hold on to that and I'll see what happens with it but now it's worth 50 grand

26:54 All the money is going to fight for the forgotten and you can donate to at what is the website fight for the forgotten? sit down interview on that. It's going to add a whole lot of value to the film and, and just give um, been able to drill 70 water wells. Now 70 communities have been transformed. If that Bitcoin is 50 grand, equip them with the tools to be able to do it.

29:23 I've met two people, I think, two, maybe three, that can actually read. Um, and so they're really, really traditional hunter gather society. it's well over a hundred feet. And, parrots or, let the smoke go up, and then they climb up there, Just getting jacked. Just getting jacked. Uh, and it's, it's, it's pretty incredible. And then if they, yeah, they only take what they need.

32:28 Did you eat turtle? Jesus. What does it taste like? Oh man. It's that good. Yeah. I mean, that's why it's good. Really good. I'm not just saying that. Bolivia, that's it. And after I got off, they walked me outside to, to where the monkey like carcass was still there and everything. It's like the way they cook it. vegan yeah he's a vegetarian coming back here you know my wife like shed a tear i think because i

35:34 So with the pygmies, they're involved in helping us get our equipment out there. drilling equipment is a lot. So the whole village helps us. I mean, there's a incredible Swahili Very hospitable give us our food while we're there. They must be so happy that you showed up And they got another brand that's in Target. they have available to them right now is car washing soap that's literally from china or from

38:30 acres. What if we reach out and reach out to people? Cause I know a lot of people do like to They speak Lingala in the west. And over the last six years, I've been there for about maybe a year and seven, eight, nine months. going with them while they're there. What, what I think is really cool is now, um, we we've got they have their own water and now they've grown so many banana trees there. They used to get paid

41:31 There's over 200 tribes represented there. The only one not represented is the Mabuti pygmies. and we want you to drill here and we want you to drill there. And so he's actually come on our So it would draw out the process longer. Yep. Right. Yeah, and you weren't training. You were just kind of like going back and forth to the Congo. And then, you know, that had to be a crazy thing to just get back into it after all that time out.

43:36 um, which, you know, being 30 just now turning 30. So then I was like 28 or 29, um, to have shingles. The doctor was like, you're too young for this. And, uh, my body was just that stressed Is it a compromised immune issue? That is the most fucked up thing about the human body, that it harbors these bacterias. The doctors are trying to figure out what was wrong with me because I was clear of malaria.

44:54 Like, oh, fuck, bro. Everybody was freaking out. it was discovered. And it actually came back. It broke out since the big crazy one, it broke out. ligaments and all that. all that time off, right? A lot of life experience, too, right? Yeah. Yeah. And I honestly think a lot of people like, oh, And then to have, you know, 32 of my heroes there that have drilled 70 wells that whenever a bridge

48:04 sort of tool for yeah I mean I'm not going to say this but um or but we're going to get it done and we're going to win this fight. So you feel like that was a training sort of tool for you? It just seems like wrestling. wanted to do it, um, the right way. I wanted to do it the way that every other student does it. They're so happy and they jump around.

49:33 You know, you feel like I made it over the hump. Yeah, that's a great quote. And Brian Ortega, I'm trying to remember his nickname. He's a beautiful face. But Cub Swanson's a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu too. division. He's lost to some of the big I like it. I really believe that. And then, boom, they go to the ground, and he instantly catches him with a guillotine.

52:43 How far away is he from here, where he trains? Oh, you know what? Well, let's see how he does at 170. seen that fight i mean rafael dos anjos looks incredible at this weight yeah he's uh that's There's never been a goddamn boring Robbie Lawler fight ever. And so, you know, he gets this change of guard. Now he's fighting Josh Emmett, who's a tough customer.

55:02 I'm almost like rooting for Mike Perry just so he can get out of it and they And then you're going to have me So he's got a lot of rest to to go through. So Yeah, what the fuck's wrong with me? He's one of the most terrifying guys in the sport. to UNK or Nebraska Kearney. hey, you know, I've already moved on. there's so many tough guys in that division that he's sort of

58:14 nasty power and a real warrior spirit yeah i mean yeah he came into the the ufc after uh ko victory And maybe Meek Mill, we haven't asked him. He's trying to get a fight with Tyron Woodley. I want to see if Emil he's just been unstoppable. And he's a stud. Number two and number three in the lightweight division, he told me Nurmagomedov has a new conditioning guy or a new dietician guy,

1:00:49 30th and today is because Edson can light him up, for sure. the shit out of him and he's 24 and oh which is unprecedented you know 24 and oh and just been Both those guys he stopped with leg kicks. as fast as most people's just normal head kick. wary about the takedown defense? Like, you see it in their face. They're like, fuck, I can't do anything against this guy. Yeah. He grew up doing it to bears. on people right you know never going off puts the smush on him he gets guys to break too like you

1:04:09 supposed to be fighting Dominic Cruz but Dominic Cruz broke his arm and training I mean, completely shut down his offense. You know? which is a which was really interesting in John Lineker what is he going to do with Lineker? Carlos Condit returns. Click on his thing. August 2016. Yeah. That's murder's row of his last mean, those. The victory over Tiago was phenomenal. He caught him with that elbow.

1:07:40 but the power that Tyron Woodley has in his fucking leg kicks. like shaking his head he's like i am gonna fuck that dude up he's, he was like shaking his head. He's like, I am going to fuck that dude up. How is that possible? Talking about his light kicks, I was just going to ask you, Like, the fucking guts and glory. One would get rocked, and then the other would get rocked.

1:10:08 of the night? those two got fight of the night. It doesn't say anything about anything else. Oh, just says that those two got fight of the night. Nothing short of masterful. fucking warrior. I mean, to going to be able to dog paddle for too long. Once he's got you hurt, then he's just fucking whip and bombs your way. like almost the Aldo of old with the leg kicks.

1:12:16 and he can and max holloway can he is so well conditioned and so aware of his ability and not stretching himself. What he's doing is trying to take Max Holloway out Yeah, it's an incredible pace that Holloway has. He goes, they go to the knockout of Chad Mendes. about that. First of all, I thought it was really interesting that Bellator is employing,

1:15:04 to be the alternate. And King Mo is in the heavyweight tournament with Ryan Bader, Like, I would like it if that was all on, like, two shows. Don't do it. training and ready to jump in i'm uh i'm actually getting to go climb mount kilimanjaro maybe well is Ben Askren. But I feel like that is, I mean, now that he's retired, what happens with him and world-class

1:18:30 Who's that? and then he went on a tear, You got a guy like Francis Ngannou who can knock anybody's head into another dimension, right? I want to see that. because I think that style is critical. You're on top of him. worried to let anything go right as soon as they tee off on something whoo the doubles on them and Yeah, but when Overeem and him were facing off, she's like, which one would you prefer to fight?

1:21:38 Take him down. Yeah, obviously. I think it was what was it like twelve times in Yeah. That punch was insane. I mean, as he's punching he's moving in position to punch a second time then he hammer fists him while he's the ref stepped in? In this past weekend? Try to figure out who it was. UFC, which is, how badass is Hoyce Gracie? That's right. see it two three and you know he can't let him up five oof yeah six yikes yeah tapped a little

1:25:36 Yeah, the Ioana thing, she still says she didn't tap. I was moving around. And then he catches him in a guillotine the next round. That's, well, I don't know. It seems like he wanted to tap, but he didn't. That's a fucking tap. This is it right here. But Paulo Filho went crazy. saying just do my friend come to the ground with me He was a beast. I believe.

1:28:48 Yeah. Yeah. I have no clue. Yes. She'd be, I think she's taller than you. and different stuff like that, It's so insane. They do look like boxing gloves, don't they? She's getting battered. Yabushita. Japan. please don't soccer kick them when they're down illegally. with a British accent. Yeah. It's one of my favorite things. That's for real. Yeah, because after Rory McDonald beat Daly,

1:32:47 Makes it exciting. That's funny. Yeah, Venom Page looked amazing in his boxing match. Like a boxing match in the octagon. That's what I think. But he's not said, like, set it up. We showed a lot of that stuff that's going on in Libya. they take all their documents away from them to where they can't travel. They can't escape. If they do, they don't speak the language.

1:35:47 Ever in human history, yeah. 600 bucks. Yeah, so the Mabuti pygmies actually so this is what the documentary is really covering government on documents. But there I've attended the funerals of the slave masters kids. So on medicine and all this stuff, they're spending half of their salary on waterborne Congolese. Don't you think they deserve some land? And so we kind of cast a vision,

1:39:08 You own slaves and you have to walk three miles to get water. balance you out almost like kettlebells um and so you get two 44 pound almost kettlebells but shoes and go on that long walk and to have the sore neck from carrying it on your head or to I slide on a 45-pound plate, and I hike the mountains with it. that and they're walking through the jungle.

1:41:29 back and the water just soaks me because all the water that we went and collected, um, fall, You're doing amazing stuff, man, and I'm so happy that we can help, and I'm happy that we can help tonight. Tom Papa. Thank you, brother. I appreciate you, man.
