    agree with you j about interviewees not looking at camera while answering questions. it looks impersonal and rude not looking at person they are talking to.

    Thumbs up 👍 Jay & Mark….what a fascinating interview
    Question for you can the Thai government take away your citizenship once you receive it?

    • @markabbottofficial
      @markabbottofficial ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My understanding is that they can’t revoke it under international law IF you don’t have another citizenship. Basically, someone cannot be left stateless. However, if the original citizenship was never relinquished, then yes, they could revoke it.

    when i saw the thumbnail and title tothe podcast, to be honest, i don't like that macho fighting shit or superior fitness freaks, i thought i'll give it 2 minutes. 75 minutes later i was sorry it was over. mark was so interesting and humble. j you have improved so much. this was captivating, thanks for a great interview

    Sounds more like both of you are joining a cult there 🙂

      Getting Thai nationality is equivalent to joining a cult? I’m not sure I’m following your logic.
