Glad to you made it out alive, can‘t wait to watch that episode!
I was waiting for this podcast, I'm glad you made it out alive Lex I love you❤
@lexfridman ahhhh Lex! Love it, in your suit, in the jungle, you've put a really big smile on my face! x
Thank you and Thank you world for me to exist with a human like you simultaneously.
Congradulations! Glad you're alive!
Lex in the Amazon still wearing a suit made my day 😂
The amount of people that taught this straight of the bat does not represent the total number of likes on this comment
The commitment to the bit is undeniable lol
Awesome 😎
😂😂😂😂
haha
Imaging youre hiking far away from civilisation and you stumble into two guys with mics doing a podcast one of them in a suit.
Didn't think of it like that lol. Brilliant
Now imagine you're a jaguar.😏
Haha Id be PISSED… i came all the way to Peru to get away from civilization & theres just 2 dudes doing a podcast past that tree
Imagine seeing them whilst tripping on ayahuasca
HahahahHa I was thinking that as well. I would be like this IS A SIMULATION!
this is why podcasts and this long format, unscripted, free flowing content will rule going forward.
It was nice of him to take some time off from being lead singer of system of a down to do a podcast in the jungle
@@S-tank_Serj lol
There is something about this location that kept the conversation even more genuine and human than Lex’s podcast already are. This felt like a sincere late night fireside chat that I remember from when I was a kid when we would sit around the bonfire at midnight as the flames dwindled down and talk just for the sake of talking. I could watch a million episodes like this.
Probably the best episode he's done yet, dedication to wearing the suit is 10/10
There’s no way you finished it because it’s not over yet
@@JayThinksHappiness classic fake comment
@@kane2440 very strange
@@JayThinksHappiness Yeah just straight lieing they comment their fake opinion
Not really a big deal when your a millionaire.
-Consistency in suit wearing 10/10
-Interview 10/10

-Informative 10/10

Best podcast of 2024. Most likely ever.
I've been watching Lex since Episode #3. This is by far the best episode, hands down. There's a light in both of their eyes. And when Paul's favorite snake just so happens to enter the conversation, as Paul is talking about what they need in order to fulfill Jungle Keeper's dreams, I felt the jungle listening, laughing and enjoying their conversation. Unreal. Go Jungle Keepers!
This has to be the coolest way to do a podcast... ever? Now we need a podcast in space, at the bottom of the sea and in the Antarctica!
Can’t wait to see Lex in Antarctica with his suit hahaha
Its A tie for the coolest podcast location with cleared Hot podcast Who did A few episodes on antarctica. So all i need now is a podcast In space and at the bottom of the sea
Good luck getting into Antartica 🤦♂️
@@sycofya1677 are you restarted or something? You can just get A permit might cost alot though
@@chdahl6125 yea a permit to the small area permited, 🤦♂️🥱
We now want an interview with JJ.
This
Not KSI surely, he has about 3 brain cells left

Yes please... I'd love to hear a chat with JJ
Please get this pinned
You guys are both legends. You bring my inner child out. I have a 3 year old son, and he loves searching for bugs in our backyard. I always let him explore but show him to respect life. This gives me an old perception, a view on life I forgot about. It's in all of us! Raise these kids right, put effort into your time after work. Keep them busy with cool free things like nature! I love in Washington state, west of the cascades. Better believe we will be camping a lot. I'm not a hunter but fishing for salmon in our rivers is on the menu. Thank you both for creating these moments for people like me. 🙏
I keep looking behind Lex and Paul for two glowing eyes.
I appreciate the fact that millions of people are sharing this experience with me.
Lex wearing suit at the middle of Amazon is the best decision ever made in the history of podcasting.
Couldn't agree more
@@cosmicwayfarer no one cares what you think particularly.
@@cosmicwayfarer Care to elaborate?
@@estebanperez2557 It's unnatural and uncomfortable to watch.
🤍
I never clicked on a podcast so quickly
Same
Dude fkn same
Y'all are the reason it won't exist for ever
Same
@@KylETISZAI same
This is the most genuine, transparent, and heartfelt podcast I ever listened to. Such incredible humbleness and respect for nature and life. At the end @03:59:40, Paul's message should be engraved in stone, so that we can remember it every day when we go on with our lives.
The best 4 hours I’ve ever spent listening to two men made all the more meaningful by the setting in the rainforest jungle. Heart beats of the rainforest. Awesome.
Paul is one of those guests that I could listen to for hours on end. He brings an almost childlike enthusiasm and incredible imagery in his storytelling which makes him unbelievably easy and entertaining to listen to.
He recognises the wonder and wants to share that feeling
I recommend his book!
And we did!
And he's fine as hell and isn't afraid of snakes - which is so hot cuz no fear =manly = knight in shinning armor, personified
He’s what I wanted to be as a kid
This man can speak profoundly with simple language. Hallmark of a great communicator.
💪🏻
Paul or Lex?
Yeah simple language.. 2:57:20 ... "Undulated tinamou because in the crepuscular hours of dawn and dusk...."
@@artchesterfitzsimmonsiii4245 Yes, one sentence defines a 4 hour podcast....
100% the exact opposite of Jordan Peterson.
The suit surprised me, the desk blew my mind. You are amazing Lex
The most amazing thing about lex’s podcast is the amount of perspective is shared. We get to imagine endless new ways of seeing planet earth. Regardless if it’s from a scientist, adventurer, martial artist, or politician.
This dude has got to be my top 3 favorite guests on any podcast.
He is an incredible speaker and thinker. Love this guy.
I clicked so fast on play crazy, and then seeing they are in the actual jungle😂
Well enjoy him cuz he ain't gunna be around much longer....a few years at the most. The guy really thinks he can talk to an communicate with not just wild animals but bat ish crazy animals from the amazon.
What are the other two?
Agree 👍
Not even an exaggeration, the most beautiful and best episode of all time. The setting, the conversation, the vibe, the perfect-timed visit from the snake in the middle of the podcast--everything was perfect. And I'm excited to hear about Lex's Ayahuasca experience in the coming weeks.
Agree. This episode was loaded with quality info .. nature is amazing and quite harsh at times
Paul won. Him doing the podcast rounds is an obvious treat to all of us but mostly, a benefit to his cause and The Jungle. I think this man has more supporters now a days than he could’ve ever imagined.
This may well be the very best podcast episode I've ever seen. Well done Lex, you remind me so much of my innocent self. Someone I strived to be, always curious, the thirst for knowledge and understanding. We all appreciate you, be careful in your adventures. You're an international treasure. Also one of my favourite guests ever. Been hooked since learning of him from you and Joe. Truly a very mature and educated man, very wise in his views of the world and environments. Lots of great discussion in an absolutely unbelievable setting. I rarely comment but I have to just acknowledge the greatness of this episode. Never stop being you. Much love from Canada.
International treasure, yes, he is!
Our brother is in the Amazon rainforest, in a suit and tie, doing a podcast and at ANY moment a big cat could come out. Man, I’ve respected Lex the first time I saw him on the JRE but this is a whole new level. 😂 I freaking LOVE this dude.
Really...at ANY moment a big cat could come out? You haven't been paying attention at all to what Paul has been saying. These animals are more afraid of us then we are of them and they are extremely rare to come across.
Buffoonery.
Man, you need help on why you have to kiss this guys behind so badly. He's not your brother, he's no one's brother. He's doing (one of) his jobs and you can relax right about now, dude. You sound unhinged.
@@xKarenWalkerx if he is calling him brother or friend , whats the problem with you ? respecting and appreciating others is licking back? i think you need help , you are like your name bro .
@@mrsargemeisterI think he believes big cats in the jungle(which are rarely even seen much less on camera) act the same as bears. 😆😆
The commitment to the suit is unparalleled
So hot .😭
The fact that I can watch, learn and get inspired by the conversation of these two amazing humans for free is what I am grateful for today. Thank you, Lex. Thank you, Paul.
Paul Rosolie is another level - what a boss. So humble and eloquent. We’re lucky to have people like him around right now. Just signed up to donate. Come on the Amazon! 💪
Thank you Lex and thanks to everyone who is so positive and encouraging! These comments are wild! We put a lot of love into this and survived many adventures! Enjoy! 🐍🐍🐍
Bless you 🌱🤍
Estimado Paul, mi espíritu está infinitamente agradecido por tus acciones y amor por la Amazonía, que es mucho más consciente que la mayoría de nosotros, los peruanos. Cómo profesora e hija de un charapa, intento generar consciencia en los jóvenes, pero tú haces muchísimo más. Muchas gracias e infinitas bendiciones.
Thank you for bringing this part of our world to us that will not get to see in person. Thank you for your conservation and educational work. You are an inspiration and a great communicator. I could listen all day.
Thank you for all that you do and thank you to Lex for showing it to the world. I've never been so moved as I was hearing you talk about the rainforest and the conservation effort. That little tree snake was awesome.
Your passion when you speak about the animals and rainforest is inspiring. Thank you for sharing and getting it into the world. Keep it up Paul! You’re making such a difference.
I don’t think I’ve heard someone this enthusiastic about animals since Steve. Probably the most entertaining episode I’ve ever seen from Lex.
Steve was more Crocodiles although he did other marine life Crocs were his hallmark, whereas Paul isn't just about the animals, he's on about that huge tract of rainforest and all the creatures that flight and fight to stay alive.
@@user-kc7nd8re3yNo one said they were the same, just that they’re both enthusiastic about animals.
@@osiris654 I never said they were the same
@user-kc7nd8re3y I would not be so quick to make a comparison at all honestly. They each have/had their own focuses; however, both obviously care about the ecosystems and each incremental part of their respective biomes within their study (including every animal, plant, and fungus) to a degree that you could call it pure love. You could always hear it in Steve's voice and eyes just like you can hear it in Paul's.
It's just too bad we never got to see a Steve Irwin Adventure Podcast or something of the like. He was partly constrained by working with corporations and networks like Animal Planet that themselves were directly constrained to shareholder desire and aversion.
this is their second episode, the previous one was amazing as well
Never in my life have I watched a 4 hour podcast. And yet.. here I am, wishing it was 5 hours. Thanks guys. And thank you Mother Aya ❤️
can tell the heat and humidity is really sapping out the physical vibrancy from Lex's faccia
We can find 60 million for Call Her Daddy, but not 30 for the most important rain forest on earth. What a world. Keep doing your thing Paul!
Right? It's mind-blowing the priceless information on youtube that has 1000’s of views, but mindless stuff has millions and millions. I guess it lets us know what side of the distribution we are on.. 😊
Maybe Elon & Jeff Bezos will come cocoa!
@@Ryan.G.SpaldingWhat do you recommend to watch that’s under the radar?
@@vincentd333 Depends on your niché. You ever watch/listen to Fall of Civilizations? (History, I fall asleep to it basically every night.) Or listen to presentations by Peter Zeihan? (Political, Economics)
@@vincentd333 Marketing Against the Grain is an interesting one on advertising and AI. I subscribe to so many, and I'm not sure how small is off the radar. :)
Best way to show my appreciation for Lex and Paul is to donate to the Jungle Keepers. First time I've felt I could make an actual difference in the Amazon.
💪🏻
Link? I’d love to contribute
Same here.
@@giggedy1023 Link is in the description. I've just donated 500 $.
One of the best podcasts ever… I never thought when Lex said he was going to the Amazon that we’d get a podcast from Inside the Amazon. Amazing. The only thing possibly better would be to get a podcast from Inside the Amazon During his ayahuasca experience haha. Love ya, Lex. And thank you, Paul, for taking good care of our boy. 🤙
Also I’d love to see Lex get Forrest Gallante on the pod
This is my most favourite podcast out of all that I've seen! What an incredibly beautiful thing to bring a desk out into the jungle and talk about it 🤯 it makes the conversation that much more meaningful, more impactful! And to have that snake come right by was the most perfect thing ever 😂❤️🔥🙏
4+ hours sweating in a suit, covered by crawlies, showered with mosquitos, surrounded by predators, for the content!
Lex you are an absolute legend.
UA-cam should build you a gold statue!
and he can barely breathe. humidity is probably penetrating
I'm so glad his giving a platform to someone like Rosolie! 🤍🙌🏼🌎
Why people are so freaked out by sweating?
The whole time I was worried Lex would have a heat stroke 😂
Okay calm down now...yes he did something impressive. Stop worshipping him like he's some god.
Lex in the Amazon Rainforest with a suit and 5 o’clock is priceless! 🍿🍿
That is not a 5o’clock shado. That is an unkempt beginning beard
@@Ruktietrolled off the tongue better the way he said it. 🤫
@@Ruktietbeard maintenance is probably the last thing on his mind exploring the Amazon.
@@panicbuyflax3461 I never said he should be caring about his beard. I said it's simply not what a 5o'clock shadow is.
@Ruktiet you must be a bucket of fun 😂
Best darn episode of any podcast ever on the entire internet. I had to watch this intermittently across the span of a week but finish it I did. Will be getting some junglekeepers merch for myself whenever I can. Not a rich person but I know it's going to be money well spent and going to the noblest of causes.
This is seriously the best interview I ever watched. Not only the best of this podcast but the best of all,
I love that the pod started out in bright daylight and then it slowly shifts to night over the course of the episode.
I didn't notice
@@sumguy1129you have terrible observation 😆
ween - the pod
Welcome back Lex!
you're also amazing in your field!❤️
I see you lover boi
thank you Dr Huberman for all works and providing top 5 content quality whether emails or snippets helping your primary/2nd audience improve health and wellness pillars.

Love you Andrew your videos help me study, I take cold showers and look into the sky in the morning every single day.
When are you going to the Amazon?
Can I say best podcast ever?
You can say whatever you want as long as it's honest! I happen to agree too!
The best podcast YET
My favourite guest. I can listen to his stories 24/7. He has such a passion about the rain forest and nature - it’s contagious. So clever too
Paul is my favorite podcast guest. I really really wanna get a 4 hour in depth podcast with him ONLY discussing the people and culture. I wanna hear his stories of the ancient stuff and sites and legends and myths.
And you breath its on fire homy
Yes yes yes
He’s an incredible story teller
I'll watch him pick his nose for four hours and enjoy every second. Lmfao
Paul has to have his own Netflix or NatGeo show or documentary, soon!
YEP!!!!
Pure gold!
@lexfridman hats off to you brother, this is the best podcast I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve been waiting for part 2 with Paul, the fact that it’s in the jungle two weeks after you’ve got to experience life out there makes it much more exciting.
There is only peace , curiosity and love from these guys. Wish this was true of every human.
I’m 75 years old and I’ve listened to and read many many ideas and stories and truths but I have to say this is a fucking awesome conversation.
Agreed!
Keep counting years my friend, and stories, conversations, etc. will follow!
U ain't 75 😂and the theory of aliens pissed of Paul, Lex is an idiot sometimes
Agreed. Incredible podcast
The work that Paul does is so underrated. We need more like him in this world
so true!
Im studying to do what he does
@@TronBBX Nice, what do you study?
Cannot imagine the amount of time and effort this took to set up and film in the Amazon.
It's one heck of a podcast Lex. One I'm incredibly privileged to watch, listen and be in awe of.
Thank you for everything that you do. You're an amazing human being!
I hope one day I get the opportunity to shake your hand and say thank you in person
You are a loser 😂
I am so happy you are safe out there,lex. And that your doing so much for the world we live in.
2 dudes, just talking, for almost 4hrs. So underrated
True Sh*t! Especially, if it's just me but they seem to be drinking that "jungle juice" as well. They look chill as f*ck.😄🤙🏽🌄
He mentioned in the intro that they did drink “jungle juice” but I’m quite certain that they were not doing it while the pod lasted.
Actually there're talking about serious things. Lex went to Amazon not to entertain everyone wearing a suit, in that way he's trying to attract humans attention to the problem in Amazon. In that way Lex and Paul really trying to save flora & fauna of Amazzonia
In the middle of amazon jungle.
Underrated is not a synonym of good
What a legend doing an episode in the middle of the jungle! Love it
wearing a suit
And a badass five o'clock shadow 🫵
Fake! That’s Joe Rogan’s backyard in Austin.
It's not in the jungle 🤦🏻♂️
Stanley Cuberick brought in the plants, duh. Rogan had the skulls, obviously. 🙄
I commend both of you, you have inspired myself and countless others.
Speaking of life on earth from this perspective brings me to tears and evoked very deep emotions. Thank you.
Been listening this podcast in parts for a few days now, it is just other-worldly.
The level of gratefulness and appreciation of Paul for nature and wild life is amazing.
It also makes him a great communicator of everything related to nature. He's great at taking you with him to his experiences.
He’s a good dude. We need more people like him.
What an amazing experience listening to this conversation. Being on the same wave all the time, without ego getting in the way- bot of you are an inspiration and absolute role model for us!
Put this on to fall asleep too! Massive mistake that's me up for 4 more hours! Amazing show
I imagined Lex wearing a suit in the Amazon when he announced he was going as a funny but absurdthought, and the man delivered. Respect.
You have no idea how much we all look forward watching your Ayahuaska podcast!
That one caaan't be in a suit
When will he bring doing that episode?
@@mpf5381some how I think he will, He is so committed to his own personal adventure Quest while enjoying everyone around him and what’s around him
One of the most fascinating podcast episodes i've ever seen. Pauls knowledge of the natural world is just amazing; and Lex being the real deal that he is traveles to the jungle, in his suit, to give us this absolute gem.
1:17:00 The reason smaller animals can handle heavier things relative to their size is that muscles are primarily 2D structures, while body volume is 3D. As an animal gets larger (say, twice the size), its muscle cross-sectional area increases proportionally to the square (2 x 2 = 4 times), but its body weight increases proportionally to the cube (2 x 2 x 2 = 8 times). This means that a larger animal has a proportionally smaller amount of muscle relative to its weight, making it less strong relative to its size.
This is Lex's BEST pod to date. Good luck topping this one. Travel pods are the future.
Travel Pods 🔮 💯
wow you might be right. "travel pods" are you in marketing or something cause that seems like it will be a thing.
Ari has the only travel pod.
Travel pods are my favorite pod style.

This podcast is a masterpiece, can't find words to thank you enough for this gift you both gave us! ❤
This is the best podcast episode I've seen/listened to in my life. Bravo Lex!
Possibly one of the best podcast episodes I have EVER watched. Hats off to Lex for his humble curiosity and for doing this but mannnn Paul Rosolie is an absolute natural story teller and jungle boss. This was super wholesome.
Agreed this episode was special
Lex, I'm only 58 minutes in...just gotta say, everytime you laugh and smile, a light illuminates from you that I've never seen on you before. It's a true pleasure to see that this experience was transformative for you. Thank you for sharing this!
Get a room
What a way to sully a compliment about Lex's illuminated soul, through this experience.
It's unfortunate, that you can't appreciate or understand the depth of my comment.
May we all learn to embrace the light, instead of the dark.
@@PayAttentionToThePatternsGrow up
@@thesunnygroveyin ☯️ yang, friend. U need a bit of both dark and light to find balance. Take the Grey because it's there. Most times it's difficult to see. But when u get to it, it becomes a process of realization and transformation.
@@thesunnygrove Yeah yeah, we get it. You’re smarter than everyone in the world so no one understands you.
What a great episode. I've loved Paul from the very first moment I learned about him. And now I love Lex too. Two brilliant specimens of human beings. Thank you for being you
Lex, I just want to say I have learned so much from this conversation. Paul, thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge. this has been incredible. Thank you.
The snake portion was amazing, what a moment. 😲 A historic episode Lex. Very unique.
I knew it, I knew it, I knew FREAKIN' it !! I HATE snakes and as the video began thought 'theres gonna be a scene when one pops up and its gonna screw up my entire day (yes, I have a true phobia). At least you gave me the heads up, and I thank you for this !! I hope its a short part of the episode.
Paul Rosolie really showed me a new world with this Amazon stories.
Thank you so much for the 2nd round with Paul IN THE JUNGLE as you promised a year ago!
This is so cool! Thank you!
This guy is a fantastic story teller - very immersive
Man, Lex is definitely looking like he's feeling it. Props to you, man! Not many people would be willing to go this far for what they love, very commendable.
Could be the malaria medication from going there
It’s the ayahuasca
He was suffering!! Lol
I just went thru the strangest deja vu with the jungle stories. I am now 68 yr old woman but at age 21 my anthropologist brother invited everyone in our family & friends to come visit him. I was the sole person who jumped at the chance.
He is a renown primative nomadic indigenous Indian anthropologist and his first experience was the Ache’ on the Brazil and Paraguay border.
Way to much to tell, and I rarely do as to what I saw and did for my month stay. I did go out with a group of around 5 families of male/female and their kids. The woman carried kids up to around 2 yrs either tied onto their heads or kids ride piggy back. It was to be a 5 day trip and the main goal was raw honey and they knew where to find it. I had a small light backpack and with 3 hrs of walking in this absolutely exhausting jungle, exactly as you described, I kept falling behind the group. The men seperate and are out with their bows killing monkey, armadillo and a large rodent that looked like a huge rat😂. The women told one of the kids around 10 yrs. To carry my pack and had the 5-6 children walk with me all day. These kids would climb a tree in an opening and continually find the adults. I tried to test myself and was always lost and redirected by the kids in minutes.
Bottom line is water became all I thought about. When we finally came up to a small stream and I was so excited for clean water, the kids jumped in upstream and my clear beautiful water got churned up with mud. I started to cry & told my brother I couldn’t go further. He said exactly these words that I’ll never forget. “You can either sit down and you’ll be dead here, or keep walking and don’t think about any other thing than continual movement.
I watched them kill a live monkey by swinging it by its legs and the head hit a tree trunk. Then they seared the hair off on our night fire and then took a knife and scraped off the hair. They flipped this monkey over and over, cooking it on the fire. The man then crack off the head and handed it off to the kids who seemed to be sucking out the brains. I was so out of my element and tried to watch and learn but reacting to everything with my own emotions.
I tried to eat some armadillo but I couldn’t even taste the monkey. I ate very little.
Day 2 at night camp the males told my brother that I’m holding up the group and won’t make it and so they are sending me back with the kids to the base living area. I lived off some hard candies I took in my pocket and charcoal sweet rice.
Amazing the kids got me out of the jungle and back to my shack that I stayed in.
This is the shortest most simplified version I can give you to tell you how your stories took me back to that time.
I am sooooo thankful I went. I got to truly step thru a time tunnel and see how life for us humans started. The stories could be regurgitated for hours of how many strange and bizarre things I experienced. I love that you are a kindred spirit and when given the chance, you went. Thank you!
What a crazy story Teri
I very much enjoyed reading. Thank you for sharing
Who would read all of this 😂😂😂
It’s a comment section…. Not a novel section
@@Anykindahandle I did. And it was great. Not all of us have Tik Tok Brain.
@@AnykindahandleI did! a comment actually full of passion? fuck yeah I'm down to read that. move along
This is absolutely fantastic Lex. Many people will not long forget this incredible adventure - your willingness to immerse the world into a place like this is certainly making MASSIVE impact, now and for years to come. Much love to you and the team!
One of the best podcast I have listened too. With them doing it in the middle of the Amazon made me feel like I was apart of nature and like I was in the middle of it. I LOVED IT.
The suit is so iconic. Thank you for years of top level content Lex
Going to be hard to top this one Lex. You've interviewed a lot of amazing people but for me Paul is easily the most fascinating.
What an amazing pod cast. I felt I vicariously lived through your adventure. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with the world!
I really appreciate this conversation, what an amazing experience to get to experience the rainforest with Paul as a guide.
Thanks, Lex, for sharing these thoughtful interviews.
The opening shot of Lex walking through the Jungle in a suit is killing me LOL
Shoutout to chris williamson & Lex for really pushing the boundaries of podcasting!!
Did not expect a Cricket reference here! 😂
What a wonderful episode. I first discovered you when you interviewed Bassem, also awesome. Lex, I love your relaxed (non-baiting) long formant / style. It allows a beautiful free flow and spontaneous sharing to happen, a real sense of the humanity in us all. A real breath of fresh air . Thank you. Paul, loved everything you shared. I could've listened all day. My love for the natural world runs deep. Lastly, Aya is a wonderful teacher, much love + respect for her. I got to know her in South America as well.
This has to be on of the best podcast conversations on the globe to date. Two brothers - shoulder to shoulder. Sitting with a piece of the same truth, coming from opposite worlds. 😢❤🥁
In only 3 days Lex has almost a million views on a 4 hour podcast
No one else can do that
He redefines GOAT
Stop glazing. It's literally dripping off of your chin.
The fact that we are watching you in the jungle while it gets dark is the most beautiful present you could have given us in this podcast, besides the captivating talk and yourselves as beautiful humans. Thank you!
They are in a studio haha can't you tell?
This is so cool, I first discovered Paul on your podcast lex. I've since watched a few different podcasts with him. So stoked you went to the Amazon! What an experience, can't wait for your upload about your adventures. Cheers from New Zealand ✌🏼
Thank you guys for having a conversation about our amazing nature. Fabulous!
Absolutely loved Paul's answer on if we live in a video game. We're so stuck in our cement boxes, isolated from nature, we don't even perceive reality anymore.
I must've miss this. Can you approximately share the timestamp please? ❤

It’s by design, we can’t deal with nature in all its glory and chaos. We are what we are cause we shield ourselves from nature while also taking advantage of it
You can fix that. I make routine attacks on that element of my existence! ❤️ It helps a lot!!!!
This is a really, really special moment in UA-cam history
Possibly one of my favourite interviews I've ever seen
I think this is my favorite episode so far!! Thanks Lex!
This is the best podcast in the world, hands down.
É demais, mesmo!
At 2 hrs 9 minutes i had to take a break to just internalize the depth wit in this conversation which is a pendulum of humor and deep understanding of how we exist as a lifeform. This is arguably one of the best episodes that Lex has blessed us with. The suit in the middle of the rainforest is an indication to his dedication to this cause of just filling the internet with superb content. Thanks, Lex.
Fascinating. Props to donning your threads. Wholly interesting and vast conversings!
It is amazing to witness Lex’s amazement and willingness to learn and appreciate all of the creatures he’s witnessed ❤️❤️❤️
