[@DannyJuke]

Dude, nobody is more interesting to listen to than Paul Rosolie at the moment in my opinion. These clips are awesome.

[@thelastemp5437]

Love hearing about the Amazon and the bits he knows of the uncontactef

[@TheLucastimm]

He’s got quite the nose for history

[@DannyJuke]

@@TheLucastimm Also a charming and genuine guy it seems.

[@andrewcecce]

Lmao it took me a second to realize they’re in the fuckin jungle 😂

[@10Doomhawk]

I felt like lex was slightly delirious and on the verge of passing out through this whole interview lol

[@Dreeew000]

The suit never dies with lex

[@andrewgraves9636]

why would it?

[@jnicemint]

Lex is waiting on the next ‘Men in Black’ movie audition.

[@JBoss44]

Look like he about to die in that suit

[@armandiic791]

Sweating his balls off 😂

[@johnnyd.147]

Lex can put on regular clothes probably and go around unrecognized lol

[@BCCBiz-dc5tg]

Manz in the Jungle in a SUIT! lol RATINGS MATE! MAXIMUM RATINGS!

[@nozrep]

💯

[@NaturalJuanFarm]

That guy JJ seems unreal. It would be amazing a podcast whith him and Paul together. Make it happen Lex, please!

[@l0bos0lo]

Sir Richard Francis Burton deserves at least an Honorable Mention, homeboy took a spear to the face, in one cheek out the other, played dead till the attackers left, then swam out to the ship offshore (still with spear in face), also Mecca, sought out source of the Nile, amongst others, hardcore linguist, and a master swordsman, with one seriously badass mustache.

[@Infowarrior08]

He discovered nothing just rediscovered and of course he and the British tried to take credit like everything else they did

[@rinadror]

To sum up, in all the podcasts I've watched, you look wonderful. The contrast in your appearance with the suit, tie, and unshaven looks good on you. You went through a great experience of life together with your friend Paul Rosolia. Well done.

[@zztopwater8568]

"Dude, f*ck the jungle" that's funny. I can't even do Florida 😂.

[@ricomajestic]

Magellan without a doubt! The guy had no maps nothing and he relied on Eratosthenes calculation of the earth's circumference which might have been really inaccurate - no one knew for sure. He ventured into the great unknown!

[@nunyabiznez666]

Never seen Lex not being clean shaven 0_o

[@user-ro9us3yo5w]

Right

[@Wadenine3]

Paul is such a fabulous story teller

[@joshkautzman3919]

Lex's mic looking like a face in firelight on the bottom will haunt my dreams forever

[@user-bq4rz8lk1g]

We need more guys like the two of you in this world! Thanks for a fun excerpt.

[@keithrincon]

This is the first time every question is wonderfully put and explained. As well as the responses, those too were wonderfully answered. It's inspiring are there tours to the Amazon?

[@martinarcher1503]

Lex always seems like he is slowly falling asleep while asking questions and making comments. This clip even more so

[@michaelmockridge3928]

He's wearing a suit in the middle of the Amazon Jungle. He's probably half-delirious from the heat and exhaustion.

[@Robert-zr3xw]

Lex Fridman's commitment to thoughtful and engaging discussions, even in challenging environments like the jungle, shows his dedication to bringing important conversations to a wider audience. It's great to see such commitment to meaningful dialogue.

[@tobilytle5737]

Freaking fascinating Lex way to live! Spectacular!

[@donmc1950]

The greatest explorer by distance travelled is Tom Thompson (1770 1857) who travelled some 90k kilometers and who mapped The Canadian west covering 1/6 the area of North America

[@shiggzay]

David Thompson

[@jbutsch2301]

Distance travelled doesn’t equate to greatest explorer…

[@cuatro336]

"Behind the wheel the mileage clicking west, I think upon Mckenzie, David Thompson and the rest. Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me..."

[@MohamedHigazy-wu7lg]

Look up ibn battuta, that guy travelled 120,000 km through the world and went through much interesting locations that west canada...

[@hopenapokipala400]

I don’t think there’s a greatest ever. There are numerous amazing explorers throughout history. If you’re going straight off of distance, Polynesian navigators need to be in the conversation….

[@nozrep]

man i wish i could tell stories like that guy! so cool!

[@BlakeElliott35]

Sir Richard Francis Burton gets my vote. Dude’s life was so nuts that I don’t even think I ultimately envy him. He’s an enigma to me too, because at first I wrote him off as a psycho/sociopathic, malcontented, blue blood. An actual one, because of THAT ONE INCIDENT in his history, IYKYK… *Shivers* But, then I thought about it further… He rolled solo on his adventures to foreign lands, he couldn’t have possibly spoken the language of most of those he came in contact with, and as an outsider caveman-brain socializing would’ve only kept him alive up to a point. So, the guy was just insanely skilled at impressing/entertaining anyone he came into contact with. And, he had to have known how to connect with some of these peoples’ leaders in an emotional way as well to remain alive so long. Anyways, no other man’s memoirs, biographies about him written by others, etc. have ever left me more astonished than his.

[@meatskunk]

Mungo Park - Scottish dude who basically (as I understand it) walked into the depths of Africa and risked life and limb to document what was there. Didn’t live too long but made some waves. Joshua Slocum - his “Sailing Alone Around the World” is a great read, amazing that he took up the sea late in life, just said fuck it, gonna go sail around the world … and he did 😛👍

[@Cloudy_Jones]

Slocum is one of the most unfortunate last names I’ve ever heard

[@porkchopexpress6969]

@@Cloudy_Jonesit’s actually a great name.. quickcum would be unfortunate

[@meatskunk]

@@Cloudy_Jones lols … well, better than Fastcum i guess? Great read at any rate, check it out!

[@clintontaylor8904]

Less than 400 people have solo sailed around the world Thousands have climbed everest

[@FellowHuman18]

Beautiful conversation.

[@Cricketbass499]

Ibn batuta of morroco in 13th century was one of the greatest explorer , exploring 44 countries in 30 years he saw mongol Empire, islamic Empire,indian Empire etc

[@user-td4pf6rr2t]

Nice sun tan!

[@Alconn123]

God I love this and I love lex Fridman.

[@addytrolla2535]

What about Ibn Battuta? He was exploring Africa, Asia and Europe as well as the Middle East.

[@edgararturogomezmeisel2217]

11:25 ... black legend and you keep spreading it.

[@djhdz3928]

As a surveyor, i never leave the truck without that machete

[@Blashmack]

Protip: What is not visible to the camera is that Lex is wearing shorts and has hiking shoes on.

[@nozrep]

haven’t watched episode yet but i clicked on this and i was wondering, why does Lex look like he’s sweating a little bit?😅 then I saw some bugs flying around and it all came together in my brain and I was like ohhhhhhh cool he did the episode with this guy outside at night in the jungle?! Hellzzz to the yah!

[@johnnypottseed]

The audio is so good I'm calling bullshit.

[@jamiecarroll1262]

Amazing episode absolutely amazing ❤ The suit made me laugh my balls off but Lex disappointed you never had a shave m8 , scruffy boy 😂

[@elpatronoriginal]

Greatness

[@Christianbowler]

I think watched a movie on dude. I was dead. "He told his partner we gonna be okay"... they put an apple in homie mouth and cut to the credits lmao

[@loadedak]

The amazon is like chicago man, damn

[@MarkEichelberger-cw6cb]

Can you bring me to the jungle next?

[@vcr1268]

I want to go too

One thing for sure. That suit is killing Lex in that environment.

Lex does not know about machetes aka cutlasses? Even in Toronto I got mine. 😆

[@oleyullah]

Man's wearing a black tie suit in a jungle... ❤

[@touficmann]

This podcast is a Lasting memory

[@alexsetterington3142]

Apparently, for the jungle, Kukri is alot better than machete.

[@maurolemus57]

Why does homeboy in the thumbnail look so much like Ari Shaffir???

[@wildebeestwright]

Hey, just for fun, let’s assume Lex did the whole trip in a suit

[@YelvoTRON]

Hahah I’m Percy’s doppelgänger

[@glos7569]

I’d argue it was Peter Freuchen but he was another guy out in the cold

They really in someone backyard 😂
