As an American Venezuelan, I admire this guy's guts. Not only does he venture where none of us Venezolanos go, but he knows the tribes like Yanomamis (Yanomamos) and Makiritares. Those are only two of the 26 different native venezuelan tribes. Good for him.

This is what I like about Joe. He adapts to his guest. This guy has seen more danger than 90% of his guests, but hes an old man. The stuff hes talking about is crazy and exciting, but its being told in a somber way like a grandpa would. Joes just sitting there patiently listening and asking questions like a grandchild would.

I think it's safe to say that Mr. Merlin Tuttle is just a straight badass. Definitely has bigger balls than I ever had. Respect. 🤘🤘

This guy has fought Indians, jaguars, bandits, cobras in the middle of the jungle. Legend!
