Imagine not knowing Thomas and meeting him at a party. You ask him about his life expecting to hear some pretty boring and lame stuff, but then he actually tells you about his life and you're like holy shit dude!
I will never understand how people can lack respect for thomas. Who cares what he looks like? He puts himself in situations most of us wouldn't dare. Unless you've done the same things he has, no one really has the right to talk shit.
Thomas is one of my favorite journalists there other than simon ostrovsky. He really puts himself out there and is skilled in languages. From alaska, to boating, to guns shoots, to syria and also africa. He's got a bright future.
“Seems” like he doesn’t? Looool he 100% doesn’t in about 99% of the places they send him. Like the migos one, that one is hilarious. Poor Thomas around all these dudes with rifles n pistols, cookin crack right in front of him.
Martin Gould Thomas seems like the new recruit of the frat going through hazing and Shane is the big boss who just likes to blow shit up and have fun. I love both of them
Is it just genetics or food fufu or ugali that make u tall and muscular ...am from south india ..lot of respect to u guys living in such condition ....i hope west africa develop quickly
Sherry yup us Senegalese’s are always active. A lot of jobs in senegal you have to be able to lift and just be able to do hard activities on a day to day basis
@Oti ugari Why would I write that if I haven't traveled extensively? You eventually get tired of sleeping in hotels, waiting for planes, trains, finding everything. Once you've traveled enough you already know what to expect in most places. So you eventually find a nice place to settle down.
@@couchthoughts634 You do! Many places aren't even worth traveling to any longer. London and Paris have become trash. South America is O.K. but that becomes predictable. Australia and China are just too far away to visit on a regular. I never had a desire to visit Africa except for South Africa. Like I said, you get tired of traveling.
That's it...I'm going to Africa and getting my laamb on. Already got the dance worked out. I love how they embraced him and allowed him to participate in something with such cultural value to them without hesitation.
It is a sport but it's heavily influenced by their culture that defines who they are in ways. "By definition cultural appropriation is the adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of a different culture as a largely negative phenomenon." Its all over our world lately. Not all get bent out of shape, i think its great we all share, but i acknowledge there is ignorance in the world so some may be too proud to share or it may be painful even if its done with good intentions. Ever seen a white guy wear a Kimono to try and impress asian friends and not understand why their upset? Misunderstandings. I'm just saying its cool they're open to people who are clearly different. =-) One love.
Every is a stretch. Im American but lived in other countrys a bit (mainly Germany). MOST are but not all. Some can see it as cultural appropriation and be upset instead of sharing. Bottom line is there are douches all over the world...but I still contend the majority are nice folks!
Wologon B. Oh, you've been to every country? I've been to America. Anyone who went there to sample the sports would be welcome. It's just guys messing around and having fun. If you don't understand that, you don't understand sportsmanship. Trying a sport is a lot different that illegally immigrating.
Thomas, you're my absolute favorite and the reason I still watch Vice. You go places where many outsiders wouldn't be able to assimilate and fully respect and appreciate where they are. This man doesn't half ass anything. Respect.
he was just being honest. That is probably why he asked if it was ok because they were not trying to embarrass him just trying to teach him. You have the son of a hyper athletic massive man who has been trained since birth in a very particular kind of wrestling so it just made sense.
Thomas is easily the coolest Vice reporter, calm &collected, witty & a bit sarcastic yet humble and such a nice guy that really is down to do whatever lmao
By watching more and more Vice-documentaries I've grown to like Thomas quite a lot. He seemed like a typical hipster idiot but he is actually a cool guy!
@@AmithRaj-y4y Fufu is eaten in West Africa. There is a lot of carbs and protein in our diet combined with genetics which makes us very tall and quite muscular
@Sturmuli muli It's not hypocrisy either. I've seen many white people get triggered when black people are praised whether it's for our music, looks, culture or dancing. People will always hate on others. Also, these are Senegalese people not Nigerian. So that comment had nothing to do with hypocrisy 🤣 They aren't the same people, crazy.
It's so refreshing to see a white western journalist being so humble outside of his comfort zone. Good job, Thomas!! You're invited to the BBQ!!🤓👓🏋️♀️📹📰🍢🌭🍔🤼♂️
i love vice, and munchies, and fightland, and vice news and vice sports, whatever free time i have to blow on youtube, it's watching you guys, you are my window to this fascinating world, thank you guys.
Thomas is the coolest guy ever…….his ability to show respect, blend in without blending in, helping us understand other cultures, lifestyles and rituals - he is the best!!!
Thomas is really interesting journalist, wherever he goes he tries to mingle with the local people, he pretty tests their food their play their life Go thomas morton best reporter in vice
The best wrestlers on the planet are mostly white and always have been.. It was invented by the greeks adapted by the romans hence the name of wrestlings oldest style: Greco-Roman.. Why Vice sent this dude I will never know.. I'd view it as an insult to their favorite past time as I've never seen a culture show more reverence and respect for the essentially sport I grew up competing in (wrestling)
Looks like Russia wants the prize for fucking shit up =D, =(, >.>, >.< But I don't want another cold war or a hot one. Maybe cool heads will prevail. But somehow I have doubts.
I'm a HUGE folk style and freestyle wrestling fan and I would LOVE to go to one of these events in person. The heavy clubbing (where they close hand strike to the head) mixed with just how visual the sport is (they are covered in water and sand) makes it so dramatic. It is really like a show. What a beautiful sport wrestling is....India also has a very rich and unique wrestling culture. My alter ego is an academic who studies different wrestling cultures around the world.......The oldest and in my opinion greatest sport in the world...so cool.
@@moustaphagaye4617but exactly like it? No. You can’t capture the traditions and techniques of this kind of wrestling outside this part of the world because it evolved in this part of the world.
Greco-Roman Wrestling is actually only upper-body, meaning you can’t touch lower body at all. Laamb seems to be a mix of traditional folk style and punching. Super cool video!
this is fucking a great show wow. im loving this. i like how unbias they are, when they FIRST start speaking about things. they're just presenting, like a great journalist should. im very very impressed.
I do not how u guys manage to make such a serious jornalist job at the same time so hilarious one. Really love u guys. Tnx for your existance . And KEEP THE EXCELENT JOB
Thomas was so hilarious. I thought he was going to get beat up. The dance he did was unforgettable especially since he is so skinny and pale white among the Africans. Thanks Vice for having me learn things about the world and Senegal life
I like the wrestling. Your such a good sport. Its also so nice to see young unemployed people involved in sport instead of being recruited into Islamic cults.
Watch more Thomas Morton on VICE here - bit.ly/2GOjIN0
heh you commented after 4 years, nice.
AHHHHHHHHH
Thomas is the shit lol 😆
@lil min ... relax
Thomas goes down as UNDEFEATED !!...raw&cool assignments....bravo !
Imagine not knowing Thomas and meeting him at a party. You ask him about his life expecting to hear some pretty boring and lame stuff, but then he actually tells you about his life and you're like holy shit dude!
The shitty part is no one would believe him cuz of how he looks
That’s why one should never judge anyone based on looks
loooooooool
I will never understand how people can lack respect for thomas. Who cares what he looks like? He puts himself in situations most of us wouldn't dare. Unless you've done the same things he has, no one really has the right to talk shit.
jbmp1390 this little dude has balls most of keyboard warriors here will never dream of having
Exactly
Thomas is one of my favorite journalists there other than simon ostrovsky. He really puts himself out there and is skilled in languages. From alaska, to boating, to guns shoots, to syria and also africa. He's got a bright future.
Yep, Thomas is an awesome dude
I mean I would put myself in dangerous adventurous places if someone paid me to go..
I swear they always send Thomas to places where he seems like he just don't belong..
Lol
Hahahahha
He got wrapped up in tin foil and had someone smoke into his eyes for curing cancer hahaha
“Seems” like he doesn’t? Looool he 100% doesn’t in about 99% of the places they send him. Like the migos one, that one is hilarious. Poor Thomas around all these dudes with rifles n pistols, cookin crack right in front of him.
You know they fixed that fight LOL
Don’t know how much Thomas gets paid but my bro needs a raise 💯
He got fired
Ohh no
Morrelo Beats why?
The 5 men one girl meme started here
Dusty Rhodes the asian one?
Thomas is one of my favourite Vice journalists
Mine too and the Russian guy.
I have been awaiting another Thomas episode. So glad I found this one!
My favourite is the guy that went to DPR
I love Thomas and the vice founder
i really like the black dude who can speak japanese and chinese
Is it just me or does Thomas always get the toughest assignments?
exactly
he does a pretty good job at them so i guess he's the go to guy for the tough ones lol
For sure, but I mean Shane talking to ex-suicide bombers and the leader of the Taliban was pretty dangerous too.
Daniel Devlin True that. I guess Thomas and Shane have the biggest balls in vice.
Martin Gould Thomas seems like the new recruit of the frat going through hazing and Shane is the big boss who just likes to blow shit up and have fun. I love both of them
Yall shouldnt hate on thomas that little white dude has been to and participated in some crazy shit.
I grew up in Sénégal and I can tell you this is an amazing country with hard working people with big heart.
Come and see!
Is it just genetics or food fufu or ugali that make u tall and muscular ...am from south india ..lot of respect to u guys living in such condition ....i hope west africa develop quickly
@@AmithRaj-y4y our main cereals are rice and milet. These wrestlers eat a lot "thiéré"(couscous) and fondé it is like a milet porridge
I enjoyed this documentary. Beautiful, people beautiful culture, beautiful hearts. We are lacking much here in America.

@@AmithRaj-y4y We as Senegalese dont eat much fufu like the other west african countries. We eat rice more often.
Thomas is fearless....he is definatly getting learned in the ways of the world.
I know man good for him that was an awesome fight.
I love how happy everyone was when Thomas won, and how cool they were with sharing something so important to them.
He didn’t win lol it was staged
Watching Vice videos makes me wish I could travel for a living. There just seems to be so many amazing people all over the world
You will get very tired of traveling after a while.

You can't cut a deal with mother nature.
Love that quote.
Rick Harrison: Lemme call a guy and have him take a look, his name is Father Time.
Old Man: Goddammit Rick I told you he's not allowed in here!
Thomas gets sent into all kinds of crazy situations while he looks like a weak nerd. xD
Just like you
To be fair, he is a weak nerd. But he is brave and deserves props for that.
Yeah that’s why they gave him victory instead of beating him into the ground
Vegan body.

I mean, you could say that he literally rules.
So for this months assignments: David you’re going to do drugs 2 towns over, Thomas you’ll be fighting tribal warriors.
Any questions?
You're a really brave guy, Thomas, seriously. I believe most guys twice your size wouldn't do half of what you put yourself through. Congrats!
this reporter seems humble, respectful, and pure of heart. he's well received for these characteristics.
Great episode. I still think that wrestling match was fixed. Come on . . .
