[@ADPax10]

​@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.

[@jesperhalvarsson801]

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.

[@kgarm]

This has to be the coolest podcast episode since the dawn of podcasts.

[@gEasy00]

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

He was suffering!! Lol

[@dylan_curious]

This is the first podcast. I’ve listened to that takes place in the middle of the jungle.

[@glendakillough6726]

Lex in the suit is unexpectedly satisfying.

[@VIK.T.]

When he said he was leaving to go to the jungle, I certainly wasn't expecting a podcast recorded there! Fantastic work, interesting conversation, I'm so glad they shared this. And the suit..👌

[@rileyjoseph3488]

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.

[@johndoeusa65]

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.

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 isn't me saying anything about anything,but I haven't seen lex smile this much during an interview..again not saying nothing about nothing I enjoy all your content and don't think you don't enjoy yourself.just a nice thing to see you guys enjoying each other's time doing something you guys talked about for a few years

[@STROBdotNET]

This is seriously the best interview I ever watched. Not only the best of this podcast but the best of all,

[@beyondwanderlust]

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!

I missed this episode. Im glad for Rogans shorts on this. Glad im here watching.

Literally gave this a thumbs up within the first 10 seconds. “We are in the middle of nowhere” is so hard. Thank you lex.

[@trustgurure8108]

2 dudes, just talking, for almost 4hrs. So underrated

[@Eduardo8olvera]

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.😄🤙🏽🌄

[@abrahambiro230]

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.

[@marinafraint2143]

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

[@arhansd190]

[@Vasily_dont_be_silly]

Underrated is not a synonym of good

[@nikitarees390]

This is the first podcast that makes me hesitant to click off of because these two genuine souls know how to capture attention of the conscious individuals still kicking and screaming for some harmony in this chaotic world

[@nelsond.jimenezmedina9476]

I'm from Colombia, the 2nd country with most biodiversity in the world, and would love and pay for this kind of experience. Living the real Amazon experience must be a life changing experience. Getting to see all those creatures in the wild has no price. I've seen some of them a can relate to part of the experience, but getting deep in that kind of jungle ia something I'd like to do before I die. Congrats to both Paul and Lex for that experience and thanks for sharing it! 👏🙌

[@Alchemist1194]

I think Paul said it best. The rainforest is a reflection of the universe that we can visit and wonder through. Everything is connected and has its purpose and place even if we don’t understand it yet.

[@erazur195]

The GOAT podcaster, suited podcast from the Amazon jungle. Doesn’t get better than this

[@Siticmon]

I usually listen to these just by audio, so I went out of my way to make sure to look at the picture too for this one, to manually force myself to appreciate where and how this was done. Incredible.

[@에베베베베베-l5n]

Thank you guys for having a conversation about our amazing nature. Fabulous!

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.

[@sosospacesheep2344]

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

[@rustywantstowin]

Lex has got a certain glow radiating from him like I've never seen before. I can tell he has had and is still having a life transforming trip to the jungles in the mountains of S. America. He's still a young man learning about life... Kudos to you, Lex! I'm very grateful for all you do. Thank you

[@danielnogueira6365]

that glow is called Sweat from a very hot and humid rainforest

[@rustywantstowin]

I actually posted this before he started sweating. When he started sweating, I was pretty sure my reply would get this response. He was glowing before he then started really glowing from sweat...lol.

I have never resonated so much with another human beings perspective on the world in my life as Paul Rosalie
