Ooh, It is so good. First of all, turmeric is amazing for you.

2:17 Yes. You know him? He's a professional drummer. Jeremy has some wild stories. All those guys Well we just had our team loaded up boy anthony giordano who's a director of the ufc he's the best yeah he's awesome i've gotten to Hey how are you physically?

5:21 he knew the walk no the walk and the drumming so he just did the that he could grab the microphone and just state one clear sentence or Sean Smith, maybe Steve Smith that started the Seattle drum school of music. They're really you for two years before I give you a job? Then he did the Paradise Fires fundraiser. Oh, yeah. That's what I heard. I guess he needed it when he got bit.

8:18 So he documented everything. He looks like a guy Because the Oh in me so schisto um is from the tropical rainforest of africa um i think that's the the show by the way. He's incredible. What's going on with your brain? I've had an intestinal bacteria that's really bad called Shigella. uh, dry heaving and I was just shaky all over. This is all from your parasites. Yeah. Jesus.

11:48 I have a superfood coffee. They think I could have picked up something crazy. So they, they just did a Lyme Lyme's disease test on me. samples um they did two different kinds of brain scans on me. So they literally injected something that was very minorly radioactive in me so that it could light up all the different spots in my brain activity. I had Dakota Meyer in here.

13:41 It's one of my favorites that you've had. She's in psychology right now. What's it called? Ganglion. Yes. depending on, Oh, and Dakota said that, but this Dr. Daniel Amen, who's got like, he's a 10-time New York I think that's what Dakota said, right? What do you think you have it from? I mean, I've, And someone, I saw that video. Perking up the spirits.

There's, out to him yeah well they they i guess knew about fight for the forgotten and we're in the same town and so a dad reached out to jim stewart you've met jim he's our director and Because a lot of people being bullies, it comes from a lack of confidence.

19:34 is that everybody kind of boosts everybody up it's a real family sort of camaraderie and it's this give and take where actually the more you give the more you get in return because community-minded and driven not that other athletes aren't but just a martial artist I mean, respecting each other but being aware that they're you know they're going to have to

22:09 I enjoy. Yeah. he texted me coming in here Champion. I mean, the way that he eats, the way that he's i mean trained sleeps schedules everything around him being the world champion and everyone else has to kind of these uh and the USADA testing, the equipment, is so powerful. like nate diaz who everybody there's some people that are beyond reproach nate diaz you know he's

24:14 I think he just eats, I know he's eaten fish in the past. how it teaches you that character development. But before you give me these gifts, So it's possible that you have something that very few human beings have ever had because you're in this deep, deep, deep, deep jungle. I think it's Qatar. with machetes. So how many times you're flying, you're a runway that normally they have just cleared with machetes.

26:16 Kenya. be six hours so where you land used to be in the rainforest but you drive six hours now to get to the rainforest how So they just claim the resources they don't have? Oh, man. And then from there, that drive, that six hours, sometimes it's taken 25 hours one time, You don't call Congo roads roads. i mean you're going around mountains and you look down to the side and you'll see

28:58 And so they'll literally just fly off the mountain. And so, um, the toxicity in my brain, which kind of form these little divots, um, but Oh, geez. So they never saw war, you can have different kinds of mood swings and different stuff. But, um, basically what mefloquine toxicity of the brain does, well, tens of thousands Well, I was vomiting. And I did that three different times.

32:10 should have it freaked me out uh five days i didn't urinate and then when i finally did if Well, hopefully they don't find anything because I just got off those rounds of... i think so tick not the Lone Star tick? Yeah, that's a crazy one. The first time I had malaria, the second time I had malaria, I had white come out in my I don't know. It's got literally more neurons in your stomach than in your brain.

35:20 connected that's not weird really okay i mean it makes sense over time and that's More, Yes. this is one of the biggest game changers i they fill the tank up with oxygen and you lay there for an hour and a half to two hours some So it's literally going into your mitochondria. Raiden gets a concussion from one of those fights. And then I take them in there and get hyperbarics.

38:45 the finger number one again. And this is all from brain damage. so atrophied because he had been in like a, I think he was in a coma or he was, um, in intensive I don't know what they have on here. Right. sudden he walks up and down the football field 14 times unassisted nothing changed um just 40 me uh this morning he texted me that picture of us and raden wow um and his dad actually forgot

41:40 Yep. Man, Dr. Amen's awesome, man. Two hours. If you just Google, she was dead for two hours, two hours. girl again look at her there yeah so cute right there a little smile that's amazing her mom is like a huge advocate for it now that's incredible and uh now but with you what do they have to do This hyperbaric is helping you, I have another follow-up appointment here in March,

45:28 and then they think I'll probably do another round of 40. I mean, Um, so Caleb's got that and he gets in the chamber. Yeah. love this part that can increase your, your stem cells by eight times in your body. So it's one of Joe Namath has his own clinic now for hyperbarics. You buy portable units? Look at that. now you're starting to have anxiety for the first time in your life you've never had it before

49:36 they can do lung transplants right and heart transplants kidney transplants like you can't getting to eat? Uh, you know, also supplementation. What's that one that you were on here with David Sinclair talking about? Okay. this um and what happens with that it kicks the bug out whatever it is yeah it's like the number I come back, I tear my right labrum. Come back, I tear my meniscus. And so they're like,

52:27 And then I got my meniscus trimmed up. Well, explain what you mean, arguably never lost a round potentially for, um, an orphanage. So this orphanage for the pygmies there, um, it's a school, but they've all coming in. Dustin and Khabib exchanged shirts. And then Khabib said he was going to auction off No, to be a little smarter when I'm there. twig and leaf huts. I sleep on the dirt. And if I'm rained on, I'm rained on. And I don't use a

55:57 I'm not going to eat the food there that can be contaminated. um and that'll probably be smarter anyways because if we bring someone with us And so she got a little sick from that. Um, and they're, they're hunter gatherers, but they, yeah, anyways, so they, they got And so that was Chief or King Zito that told us that. got them back five acres of land right now but they're practicing how to farm on that and then

59:12 to feed themselves. this makes you realize how easy we have it this what makes you realize how easy we have it oh man Yeah. Leafy green vegetables. Okay. The second leading cause of death. So he's nine years old and already suicidal. Do they think that the people who do it, But, uh, here's a statistic from the CDC. It's funny. The CDC found out that I had dengue fever.

Right. a high school in their philanthropy week because they wanted to help these kids get a new um like It's on our website, fightfortheforgotten.org. And so they get a weekly lesson or Matt chat discussion, think first you have to educate the kids that they are part of the solution and part of the problem.

1:05:47 They're actually trying to pass laws You're at least an encourager. serious uh i know that the family has felt this has been going on since he was nine at least after Raiden's done with his hyper barracks and his concussion is settled down. He's going to All the news wanted to, like, post pictures pictures of them or they wanted to get exclusives. oh here here's if we can have volume on this, this is pretty cool.

1:08:46 Really good? Um, Um, I think it's jujitsu planner.com the website i think it's jujitsuplanner.com competition and then they're going to have it to where they they uh make new additions and things It's just a habit tracker. down i'll probably forget it i keep notes like like comedy notes i keep them on my phone but things you're grateful for. So you write that down, then three things that would make today

1:12:16 I also have something else for you, my man. We'll get there. you actually have one of his knives yeah i do um and he made this because he is now giving Oh, it's pretty. knives for fight for the forgotten and so that one's a chef's knife that he thought you'd really This knife is what it was actually all about. And he said it wasn't the best for me to give to you.

1:15:22 And they've been collecting it for generations. That's from Zito. uh, you're trying to get your health back together. Yeah. Forever. Cause we're, we're almost in November. So November in two days. Who are these people? Justin, things for now you said so what now um we're doing two things back to back or actually Last year, the academy that won the top fundraiser, his name was James Wright out of Martial Arts and More in North Carolina.

1:27:22 grandparents down the street. So still the same mobile home park, but they put them in like the three bedroom kind of that gets Brock and Raiden back in the home, uh, with his parents. And so Jacob brought that idea that we're focused on now. My wife was like, Hey, why are you fight for the forgotten? Couldn't I know why you're doing this. You're just trying to be the guy that you needed whenever you were his age.

1:30:15 And his mom and dad literally cried because that was their favorite wrestler. It really is. And I think this is what I've learned through Rafael and through a guy out here named Ed He must have had a lot of reasons.
