5:04 It's like 20,000 feet at the top. He's dead now. And they thought that it was at 15,000 feet, it became too difficult. And when, you know, first sign of AMS, lack of oxygen in the head, means headache. and then trying to refill and then letting some of it out, trying to refill breaths letting some of it out and then trying They found it out for the first time.

8:21 with no extra techniques involved, right? mesquite and he's given my name fuck it yeah like mosquito what a name a professor But in time, you've got to deal with it.

Are you going to wear ice shoes, Elise? kilimanjaro is is in do you think that's possible there's any benefit from the fact that you're Makes you able to do almost inconceivable feats and accomplish it. are contacting the snow like you're focusing on the bottom of your feet yes We could not fend it off. Is it breathing and also focusing on what you're trying to accomplish?

22:05 We are able to store up more oxygen. And then the mind, is making the body, by breath, the right breathing, profound breathing, Where is it? And now you are able to tap in there, change the chemistry, You create 25% more blood flow. and these techniques that you pursue. Very good. and then we become sick and we don't know what's happening Then suddenly you get a sense of control.

27:47 What is emotion? What is fear? What is PTSD? What is trauma? What is depression? Yes, yes. And sometimes I take a couple of days off and I just don't feel right. All the feelings go away. It's like I have a new brain. It's like I leave there, I'm smiling, There's a lot of things going on. I don't necessarily think it's the case with everybody because I don't know how everybody's

Those primal forces are directly related to adrenaline. Yes. you literally see it in fights you see people panic yeah and that panic does not allow them

39:41 energetic and they have a lot more connection with their own body, creating confidence within themselves. on the breathing Here you will understand the significance of breathing and not to take it too lightly. oxygen deprivated situations, anything. I can do it. and he just fought for the UFC heavyweight title Then Stipe caught him and knocked him out.

43:16 acetylcholine, Acetylcholine? Are you measuring muscle tissue? What's normal? And they do the breathing 20 minutes and they become blue. And we are able to influence therein. No, no, no. As a trained observer, I felt he was dealing with a lot of anxiety. But Mother Nature knows better. Yes. He's a scary dude. Right. whatever had an effect on it did you feel like he got tired too quickly did you notice him

49:27 and he's been knocked out many times outside of the UFC. Do you have any concern about the amount And I mean, there is no, you cannot speculate about Mother Nature. to fighters though and it happens inevitably in a fighter's career if they've taken a lot of fights Do you see that at all in him? you are you concerned about that at all yeah if I see that I will see that

51:33 I will observe. And they will make it in 24 hours as well, just because the body. So, they control their I mean, if you can't walk anymore, what are you doing on the Kilimanjaro?

Because there's an effect when your mind thinks that it has a drug that's going to heal it, They are in primitive muscles and reflexes Now, how long has it been since the first podcast we did? There you go. Because two and a half years ago, we had this published in one of the best papers of the world, the PLAS papers.

57:39 So it is science. Takes time it takes time. So since last year I see more and more and more people And I'm finding this out. Things like that, you know? Yes, yes, yes. I started doing it. Like I'm just filled with everything. breathing in like that, What's happening? So they had a level that they thought was 100%. And they did it with a laser on the chest,

1:02:23 I mean, more than 100% first time in the history. That's a great finding i mean more than 100 first time in the history for 48 hours of 35 percent less oxygen it becomes cancerous really yes sir and as simple as that have you ever worked with cancer patients? I want to now with the universities, but it's very, you know, a very difficult, complicated matter.

1:03:50 Yes, sir. Big book. Deteriorates your whole skin. And and then you're gone you're not able to Don't yield. we can influence that are already under cancer treatment? And if I'm going to drink here, You made him. and on the Kilimanjaro, I know. He is an investigative journalist, an anthropologist, and he came to Poland to see who I am for real. Yes. he was doing the same shit I'm doing.

1:07:47 wives and make a lot of money no no no just I'm very well no I know but that's He became a full adept. What are you doing there? but I can teach you for sure also some techniques. Yeah. So the performance. It will come out next month or something. But he is always trying out the stuff he is writing about. 80 push-ups without breathing? No air in the lungs.

1:11:04 Yes, sir. You've got to be a fucking savage just to be able to do 80 push-ups, period. And I make them do 40 push-ups in one day. fat in 70 days motherfucker there you see I want to see. Yeah. Yeah. Me too? We're doing a podcast. This was the original, you know, the stuff. But then later when we did it and accomplished, I mean, the biggest feat was the 76-year-old man doing the Kilimanjaro in 44 hours.

1:14:25 Yeah, but I mean, how many miles is it? Turns out it's 60. I went to these natural reserves. You didn't worry about malaria? I believe in Mother Nature. It's Mother Nature within us and that control we lost if he catches the flu I need to connect you to. and I'm going to swap information with you guys. He's going past the fear like we began off. Tribal.

1:18:24 And I lifted up their tails in the back to see how of these big elephants. And I lifted up their It's all about You're forcing him to defend himself. But he is outlining everything with websites of activity to people. But since the telephone came, introduced itself over there, the people lost this ability. there any evidence these people were really telepathic no it's anecdotal

1:21:13 Do you remember On the Road with Charles Kuralt? and that he could read animals' minds. But I've read that they have found one thing that they're pretty sure that people can tell. And the distance between, say, England and the Netherlands or Germany, et cetera, is divided by the Northern Sea. it becomes far easier for other members of the species, even that are separated by vast distances, to learn that.

1:24:48 look at their motivations and look at whether or not they're biased and it's it's very difficult And I teach kids of four years old with arthritis. And now it's getting together cold shower and believe connect with your body that you are able to tap into your health your happiness and your strength then that that's something that will bring mother nature back

1:32:52 corner somewhere. Yeah. He wants a beer. So his fear is subsiding. the barman Yeah, bill and I don't know where he puts it because he's got no pockets, but he puts it somewhere. we are strong man I would just recommend just tightening that up a little bit. Oh, you knew the joke! What's real? The way we trick with our mind, we think we can trick Mother Nature inside.

1:36:17 Jamie? I mean, I always knew. Just dunk. Jamie just, his eyes went wide. Ah. It didn't even have tusks. We have to see each other and there's some people that were asking. It's the only thing Breathing would have helped. You have to be pretty extraordinary to do 80 push-ups it's not like you're bench pressing 175 pounds, but it's probably like you're bench pressing 140.

1:39:28 Something plus that, I guess. And I really began with these push-ups. 49%. Okay. heavier weights and i do a lot of other stuff well Why are you scaring me with that breathing? You can't even help it. How many think 3,000? No rest? What kind of a fucking freak does 10,000 push-ups? This is the details of that guy. What counts as a push-up?

A lion is able to smell fear in animals.

1:45:49 acting natural anymore. because you know Who knows this? That means with really wild animals like hyenas, elephants, giraffes, lions. I think it was inside of like 30 or 40 feet when the lion finally stopped. But you see a situation, another situation. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. Interesting. The thing is, I want them, you know them to create an agency with the Maasai together

1:49:12 Okay. I'm going to tank. How are you going to help them? I want to do more. It's okay.

San Francisco is infested with acceptance. It's the most accepting city I've ever been to when it comes to homeless people. Yeah, yeah. which has its pluses and minuses, you know, it's just, you know, the tolerance is excellent. It's
