Can’t lie I didn’t see this one coming 😳🔥

Look at Aba. He turned into the host (this is not an Adam diss) and got Adam opening up. That's how good this dude is... Aba got the integrity locked down. THIS is a conversation!!

When Aba said "...people usually just make food for themselves and sit in front of a screen and watch RU-vid." I have never felt so personally attacked. I was so distraught that I put my sandwich down. Edit: Why tf is comment so popular?

Whenever Aba shows up to a podcast, he just steals the entire show.

Aba's intelligence is fresh and fitting.

Hearing Aba talk about his life, being raised in Canada and Ethiopia definitely explains his strong views on humility and integrity. The man has perspective on two different worlds.

I didn't realize that Aba had a patreon that he paused during the pandemic because he just didn't feel like making content and took a break dude that just earned him a subscriber. Even paid his people. Definitely a man of integrity

This felt less like a podcast interview and more like a long conversation. These dudes were interviewing each other.

This man aba is collecting all the podcast infinity stones lmao😂

aba is so charismatic that you would think he’s interviewing adam 😂

Aba you make your fellow Canadians so very proud of you. Your intelligence, compassion and humility are refreshing and enjoyable to experience.

I could listen to Aba speak for days! He is so talented and humble.

This dude is such a great person for Adam to have on. He actually brings great conversation out of Adam.

Aba is intelligent and humble. Can never understand how those Fresh & Fit clowns thought they were near the spectrum of Aba & Preach.

Aba is speaking to me so deeply when he talks about lust, women and gluttony. I’ve been right there in that hamster wheel. Laying in bed with a woman and thinking what the hell am I doing. Never feeling satisfied. Having someone over and can’t wait for them to leave…it really is a path with no satisfying end. He hit the nail on the head.

I can sit and listen to Aba talk all day long. This interview is epic.

Aba's humility, intelligence, and wisdom - it's refreshing.

I also like how Adams enjoying having a mature adult convo for once lol

Aba in two words: humility and integrity, a true African brother!

"A man without discipline is like a city without walls" - Proverbs 25:28 I have been watching Aba & Preach for around a year to a year and a half. I appreciate the variety of topics and perspectives I hear in their videos, especially when I disagree with them because I always come away understanding why we think differently and I respect their good faith efforts to express the nuance of complicated issues.

Oh boyyy 🍿🍿🍿

There’s nothing better than making it and then still being at peace. That’s a goal worth striving for.

Aba should consider doing his own podcast. He seems like he would give great interviews

Aba is 1000% correct. The toll it takes on your life is immense when that’s your focus. It also gets extremely old extremely fast. Manipulating women to get what you want may be fun or feel good the first couple times, but after a while the hurt you are causing others takes a toll on your soul

Been a fan of A&P, now I respect him more. He's definitely intelligent and now I know his backstory and respect him more.

I appreciate Aba's intelligence and wisdom. He knows how to articulate his thoughts so easily. A great communicator. More success to Aba and Preach!

The last 30 minutes are incredible. So many men need to hear this.

I can listen to Aba have conversation for hours, that's a person with a solid foundation and a person who is cool with who he is

This is BY FAR the best and more organic podcast Adam has ever done. This is real raw material.

Aba had literally changed my perception of life over the past few years. His candor, humility, and insight are invaluable and tremendous indicators of the type of man he is. Mad respect to Adam as well. Love the professionalism of his platform (minus the celina shit lol) and so glad this collab happened.

Aba needs to do a POD cast. His intelligence drew me into the interview while being well balanced with Adams commentary to keep the conversation going. Great video. R.

The timing is crazy LOL!

Nah Aba is ENLIGHTENED. He understands the concept of PEACE. Especially when he brought up the last partts of the podcast. FELLAS TAKE HEED

Kobe and Aba are the two people I can listen to for days non-stop.

“I wish more sovereign states would mind their business” Amen.

That went by quickly. Listening to two adult men discussing life is really refreshing. (I hope the young guns listening take this to heart.) It was also nice to get Aba's backstory. Much respect to both of you & prayers going up for your future success!

One of the best interviews and I don’t even know who this guy is , learned a lot in this one. Adam usually doesn’t open up this much lol

I don't know if there are any other interviews like this, hosting Aba..... but this was the one for me. Kinda filled in a few pieces about Aba that have been missing/looking for but mostly showed his consistency that I appreciate. Well done "interview"/conversation. Cheers, Gentlemen!

I love Aba, smart dude. It's cool to see different people vibing and learning their story.

What a great podcast. Two grown men having adult discussions on career, religion, politics and clowns. Even though you can see they disagree on certain points they remain calm and respectful. Thank you!

Real talk about the PUA/Red Pill community. There's definitely a circle-jerk aspect to all of it. Trying to impress the next guy. There are some legit men's issues that get discussed, but men also need to be careful. Recognize what information is honest and helpful, and recognize the context in which the information belongs. Be able to recognize what's just posturing and bragging.

Appreciate the opportunity to get to know Aba better. Love how he articulates his ideas on the fly.

these guys have the exact same energy this is one of the most pleasant interviews I've ever watched and they even discussed youtuber drama I love it

The more I listen to Aba, the more I admire him. He is a very genuine person.

I appreciate Aba and Preach's perspective. They've had me look at things from a different angle or light and this always helps someone grow. You only can live within your own experience. You need folks that have lived differently and are willing to speak honestly about it to help broaden your world view.

I could have listened to them go on for another hour,these two could easily do a spin off podcast. I think adam doesn't give himself enough credit feels very rogan level. Except i would say its even more thoughtful for what he says with joe constantly going off on side stuff,which isn't always bad but just a different vibe depending who he talking to.

This just did not feel like an interview at all. Felt like I was eavesdropping on two grown men having an intelligent conversation. Aba is really intelligent and Adam conducted this 'interview' really well. More like this is needed

Feels good to see A&P get the recognition they deserve. They been grinding for years frfr

I absolutely love how Aba doesn’t over floss my guys sitting up there on a big stage the same as he is always. It just establishes trust and authenticity

Love Aba and Preach. Of course I don’t always agree with everything they talk about but they always argue their points very well. They can take as much time off as they need, I’m always gonna click the video when I see they upload. Awesome content creators - most definitely appreciate their authenticity and comedic relief.

“Challenge things that make you afraid and curious” loved this conversation!

Shout out to Aba as being the 1st Ethiopian driving the point home about being on time!✊🏿

Aba in this light is cool. I once saw him on flagrant 2 and he did well. This is a different audience for sure.

This is your best interview, Adam. You and Aba had such an organic conversation about real life.

The last 20 mins of the interview was one of the greatest pieces of insight I’ve ever seen in an interview. As a young man I’ll heed the advice.

This discourse was very pleasant; two great orators bouncing off one another SO MANY GEMS!

“They just sit in front of a computer and watch RU-vid while they eat” Me: sitting in front of a computer watching this interview while eating ramen

Man I knew Aba is an Intelligent guy, but it's like I finding out about it again. This great, good talk. Really enjoyed it.

Wow that was an amazing interview... It's been great getting know Aba, thanks how in depth the conversation was between the two of you guys were. Phenomenal content and great wisdom 👌💯

Two adult men having a calm mature conversation. Fresh and fit can learn from these guys

Grown Ass men conversation. So refreshing.

1:22:57 Yes Sir... The respect is so prevalent between Aba and Preach it adds another level of ease to watching. Cheers

I never sat through any of your podcasts except maybe 1 or 2 and this one was just so good I could play it multiple times throughout the day. Aba is so smart and well spoken, and he brings out great conversation from you.

I am so impressed with how Articulate and Authentic Aba is. He is one of the realest

Aba gave a lot of gems in this on every topic. Never heard of No Jumper but this was a great interview, mad respect!

This is probably the best interview Adam has done. And that’s in no small part to Aba being such an incredible guest. Really enjoyed this one.

This was great conversation and I’m stoked to have a new podcast to listen to. I really enjoy the simple conversation between these men… they talked a touch about curiosity and intimacy and I often tell myself one of the best things about me is that I’m curious. I don’t mean that I’m so great, I mean sometimes I find myself the most boring girl in the world but then I remember I’m truly curious about people and that’s a good trait because everyone, _every human being_ has a “story” and I am sincerely interested in those stories. When Aba spoke of only needing two traits to be a good conversationalist, curiosity and intimacy, I felt it. I’ve never thought of my strengths including that of good conversation but it’s something to think about. I had not heard of Adam or No Jumper before today but I really enjoyed his stories and ideas and his interaction with Aba and I truly can’t wait to listen to more of him. Great show!

Can’t lie, I’m just happy my East African guys getting some shine 🙏🏿

No jumper blessed us w this one

I’ve never watch a podcasts for two hours straight! Congrats 👏🏾 That was interesting conversation.

The conversation and genuine advice from this video saved me from sinking into an even deeper darker place. The way these gentlemen preached about how mastering balance within your lowest and highest moments in life is GOLD. As a young adult, just trying to survive the pressures that life brings AND the craziness society places on our shoulders is tough. I’m glad I came across this awesome collab, and most definitely opened my eyes a little more about manifesting a meaningful life versus what society deems “right or wrong.” Great video gentlemen! Appreciate y’all 💯

I've only watched like 3 whole no jumper interviews and this was one of them. I enjoy Abas wisdom.

I've always liked dude, but after listening to this entire segment, he's even more respectable.

Aba talking about putting money into your community and the host equating it to paying for dinner encapsulates this whole podcast.

Now this is one of my favorite episodes of No Jumper.. this episode went really deep and it helped me understand some problem I've been struggling with in my life... Aba Atlas is a very intelligent person and I'm now a fan... Thank you for this episode Adam

“There’s a normalcy with chaos” god damn I felt that shit

Was already a fan of Aba, but even more so after this interview. I had no idea this guy was as intelligent and virtuous as he is. Mad respect for dude

Aba's interview was amazing; he is very interesting, and I love his class asking, the interviewer questions. Great interview all around😍👏🏾 I would definitely love to meet him in person.

This is one of the best podcasts Adam has done. Props to both him and Aba for a worthwhile, intelligent conversation that could make one pause and think. Well done guys.

Aba's Humility is exactly why their channel is one of my favorites on youtube. Amazing episode.

More people need to watch The Black Phillips Show with Patrice O’Neal that Aba brought up when talking about the “manosphere”. Its life changing for men

Amazing podcast. I haven't listened to anyone's entire podcast in a long time and this is definitely one that I'd recommend to many young men trying to find a path.

Man , Aba just makes relationships w the right ppl is so worth it. He makes it sound so significant and I love it. Got me thinking about my life

This man-Aba, understands the profound usage and understanding of the word being, “humble” it’s such an important thing in this day and age. Too many people get caught up in living a weird state of mind, where everything they do is god-like and it’s their everything, but when in fact, it’s important to realize your own work is only profound to you, but it isn’t everything for everyone else.

Holy shit, I was not expecting this one

I loved this so much! Very mature, interesting and important interview😍 Love Aba 👏🏼👏🏼😍😍

Aba is a enlightened dude , thats IT !We are so lucky to witness this .Awesome episode.

Top tier creator Aba is. A common-man who finds fulfillment and positively impacts people through hard hitting topics and other taboo subjects.

“Just watches RU-vid while they eat…” *puts knife and fork down. Looks out the window lonely and depressed 😂😭💀

That whole opening talk about slowing down, enjoying conversation with the boys. I've seldom felt that in the US in the way that my friends in MX are. Miss those days now

16:15 when Aba said it has that effect on somebody even though you don't see it, that got me. felt like he was talking about me and you'll never see this but the amount of wisdom and life lessons I get from your videos as an 17 year old is wild. I'm so thankful and I'm on a better path in my life just cause I get to hear these peoples stories and what grounds them through your videos. your impact has changed my life for the better and that in itself is such a big accomplishment . thank you

A&P is some of the realest podcasters out there. No Jumper is always on point also. This was very unexpected and a no brainer at the same time. Love it! I just wish I could have seen Preach on here!

This didn’t feel like an interview felt like a conversation.but that’s what made it better @no jumper

this is one of the best videos i've seen this year. i feel like ive learned so much from this. appreciate the constant gems adam 💯

Not wanting to compare but....the wisdom and life experience these guys put out, makes som other channels look like kindergarden....(F&F)

Aba and preach channel is so good because they don't seem to have like an extreme bias or views. They seem to just be honest and have a normal response to most topics and they're really funny.

Never really sat down and watched 2hr interviews. But I'd have to say this one is very interesting watched it all the way to the end without skipping. Aba was dropping knowledge in this interview, true life experiences and very educational.

I'm here because of Aba lol but now I'm a new sub! This was less of an interview but more of a refreshing conversation between two down to earth men. I loved every bit of this.

Glad Abba pulled him up on the Olympics mental health "joke." This is why I respect Abba.
