For those interested it was this.
The former Leo Burnett chairman took part in a ‘penis yoga’ ritual in which naked men bend their private parts around a sword, he witnessed one of the elders eat human flesh and get high from a frog.

This week’s episode is about the Iraqi special forces fighting the terrorists.
Another great episode tonight, possibly the best out of both series so far. So glad to see such a high quality production on commercial TV.
Advise at the end of tonight (owing to Masterclass next week - good idea not to push this to 9.30 start time).
Next week time
Agree, best episode by far. Compelling viewing
For those missing the show this week, a deleted scene from last week’s episode posted
Last night was the first time I saw an episode of season 2 in full. Todd spent two weeks learning martial arts at the famous Wudang Mountains in central China. It was a fascinating look at how the students learned and demonstrated their kung fu skills.
Returning for another season in 2019.
Filing underway already.
Season 3 has received funding from Screen Australia and will be called Body Hack 3.0.
An eight-part series from Essential Media for Network 10 following Todd Sampson on a mission to investigate the most extraordinary people on the planet to see what we can learn from their lives. The series is co-written by Jeff Siberry and Todd Sampson who worked together previously on Body Hack series one and two. Jeff Siberry will direct the series, while Chris Hilton (The Go-Betweens: Right Here) and David Alrich (The Pacific: In the Wake of Captain Cook, With Sam Neil) will work alongside Sampson as executive producers.
Looks like Todd filmed an episode in Gaza Strip based on his tweet today.
It would be good if they kept this show on Thursday nights again, then they would have new content from 8:30pm weeknights.
Full promo:
I think the Gaza Strip episode will be controversial. Will be interesting to see how it is received by the Jewish community here in Australia.
Premieres Tuesday 25 June At 8.40pm
When Todd Sampson and the Body Hack team went to the Gaza strip, their original mission was to document the lives and show the pressure that emergency medics face on a daily basis, but they came back with so much more.
When the new season begins on Tuesday, 25 June, Todd takes us to one of the most dangerous and war torn locations on earth. He arrives during the March of Return protests where to date, over 28,000 people have been injured and 280 killed in the weekly demonstrations.
Todd and his crew gain incredible access following the funeral of a Palestinian protestor-cum-martyr, the jaw dropping process that emergency medics undertake to repair bullet wounds and amputate limbs and in some astonishing scenes, comes face to face with one of the most formidable organisations on earth; the Islamic Jihad.
Todd Sampson’s Body Hack is not a political show, and not one that takes sides. It is one about the human condition at the extremes and there’s no doubt that Palestinians in Gaza are living and working at the very edge.
An hour of television that is sure to be discussed in homes and workplaces across the country.
Todd Sampson’s Body Hack is an Essential Media production for Network 10 with production investment from Screen Australia in association with Create NSW.
It started off on Tuesday’s in 2017, moved to Thursday’s and now back to Tuesday’s again.
missed opportunity by all access. strange
