In early 2010, just prior to leaving for his trailer-tugging walk across Mongolia, Rip gave this interview.  In it he spins the lies with such facility.  His interviewer is Cameron Smith.  At about 16 minutes in, Rip starts talking about Namibia.  https://earldeblonville.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Cameron-Talk_With_Ripley_May2010.mp3
