Why are humans not natural? Why is man made not natural?
lex the guy truth above all was me yes french /portuguese
i was hit whit the hardest truth's and, did not break me ! au contraire , made me.
he says the amazon is the best example of natural growth, meanwhile, the trees are above the level of the man made structures, so clearly a civilization was there before the present day vegetation.

😂
Lex brother the anaconda story you heard at the beginning was a fatttttttt lie. Look it up, anacondas dont get that long, they get heavy. Reticulated python will be the one they find thats “25” feet
One of THE BEST guests. Amazing colorful storytelling. Bravo.
You are right, this man is on the level of Manolis Kellis with the stories.
Certified, was hooked after the first 2 minutes !
I’m with you on that one. Find a quiet place at night to tune into this one.
"... And remember, this is only exhibition, not a competition... please... no wagering" - Dave Letterman (doing his "stupid human (or pet) tricks" bits)... still, this guy's abilities to paint images on the canvas of our brains is awesome, and coming from a once 9 year old illiterate, INSPIRING !
I k r? I didn’t know about him before but an incredibly memorable episode. Made me get up before dawn and go out to nature today!
You know a conversation is good when its 3 and a half hours long and when it ends you wish there were more. Great episode!
“🤓no comments, let me change that🤓”
Agreed bro
Trying to grab an anaconda (weighing 200-400 pounds or more) is officially the dumbest of dumb-dude moves! Do you grab tigers by the tail, tweek elephants on the trunk & punch rinos in the mouth too? I'm actually surprised you admitted to these activities. You only survived by pure dumb luck! These over-glorified, tall tales encourage other young, dumb-dudes, which you know is dangerously dumb, but it sells books, right? Your Amazon tales are irresponsible especially to those who know better & know how impressionable so many young, male teens & twenty somethings are. Your stories are like watching the show "Rediculousness".
That little bit about how you become one with the Amazon with the steam coming off of your body and watching it go up into the canopy and coming back down as rain that you then drink, that was beautiful
So the natives are drinking bum sweat?
It really was beautiful wasn't it?
@@JACKAL98What do you think you're drinking?
Do you know where tap water comes from?
From chemically cleaned waste water from your toilet, bathroom, kitchen sink etc.
Id rather drink water purified in nature than drinking chlorine cleaned shit...
I was thinking if this man isn’t a writer he should be. He’s great a prose.
Most people brush there teeth with fecal matter... done brush lol@JACKAL98
Paul has an amazing ability to tell a story in a way that makes you feel as if you were there. That is a rare ability. There are lots of people who go into the Amazon, but not everyone can make someone feel as if you're there.
Love when I have zero expectations for a guest and they turn out to be a gem. This is the type of podcast you pause when you have to step away for a minute. I listened to every word.
Be very careful with this particular guy……… I heard him on one clip on Joe Rogan back in July,…. It’s now October, and I’ve booked a trip to the Amazon on his expedition. Every interview he gives is like this. I have to go and collect my own stories sitting in his boat now. He’s brilliant. Highly recommend “Mother Of God”
Yes sir
😊😊😊😊😊
@@Ashbash-kf5xdwhere do you book the trips?
lmao same i paused every time and if i missed something id go back.. so interesting
I'm 1 hour in and I gotta say that this is easily my favorite guest you've had on by far. This man needs to be protected at all costs. What a gem to humanity.
He jumps onto Anacondas. Obviously, *GOD* is protecting him more than we ever could.
"This man needs to be protected at all costs." What a stupid thing to say.
@@andysmith1996 Pretty common thing to say on the internet.
@@garygenslerstwin9490 Just because other people say something stupid doesn't mean you have to.
@@andysmith1996 what do you mean to say?
This has taken my breath away. To know that someone like Paul Rosolie exists gives me hope. Brilliant. Thank you, Lex, for your depth and love you bring to those of us who have found you. How fortunate I am to be one of them.
Definitely one of the best guests on your show. He makes you feel like you're there. Gave me a new appreciation for nature, animals, and the plants with medicine. I didn't want it to end
I've seen almost your entire library of podcasts. This has to be my favorite so far. incredible story telling.
Has he tricked you that the killers are victims yet as well?
He's the best by far
@@TH-camsDead No no😂... The Killers are evil bastards alright 👍
Yes...hoping this podcast will surpass all the other podcasts in views in short time. The information is very valuable to all.
This Paul Rololie Dude is off
the charts cool . N O T easy work . . .
- . . . I ' m sure .
I could listen to this man tell stories of the amazon for days. I hope he does more public interviews!
I recently saw this one too - th-cam.com/video/eytcGavv5ck/w-d-xo.html
He’s recently been on Joe Rogan
The story about the 16ft anaconda was BS 😂 he jumped on it and it was so big he couldn’t wrap his arms around it 🤣
@@oo0024regardless, it’s a good story told well.
@@oo0024 And you would know ...
This gold mining Industry in the Amazon is absolutely heartbreaking ! There is no way that I will believe that governments cannot go in and shut this down. It is massively criminal to do that to the rainforest. I didn’t know much about the rainforest or the Amazon, until I started seeing these podcasts, but it has become an obsession of mine to learnabout the animals and the communities and everything about it. Something needs to be done.
Self preservation be logical🧑🏫
Ok virtue signaller 😅
This is the absolute the BEST podcast Ive ever had the pleasure of listening to. What an incredible storyteller, I could listen to him talk for hours. 👏👏👏
Yes, he's good at making things up.
Paul has a beautiful gift of storytelling. What an articulate and thoughtful human being!!!
I agree
He is! And Lex brought that out even more, the chemistry was perfect-
This guys love of nature is contagious.
For SURE
Agreed
Perfect way to explain it👏
Not so contagious that you wanna float down the Amazon I hope 😂
SERIOUSLY
Probably my favorite podcast ever. What a legend, speaking about heroic people with balls.. dude got all my respect
Wow I love this man. This is one of the most spiritual stories I've heard and I listen to a lot this man proves that we are all connected even the animals in the trees and the rainforest and the cats and the dogs. I Love The Way You Are so descriptive in your stories
After 90 minutes of listening to this man I realize how tiny I am, how little I know, and how much the things I care about mean to me.
Yes, I feel extremely unaccomplished after listening
Human beings are of four types:
1. A man who knows, and knows that he knows. This is the scholar, so take and patiently learn from him.
2. A man who knows, but does not know that he knows. This one has forgotten, so quietly remind him.
3. A man who does not know, and knows that he does not know. This one is a student, so teach him continuously because he will be a great scholar one day.
4. A man who does not know, and does not know that he does not know and isn’t even interested in knowing. This one is an idiot, so reject him".

@@stokedmtb333 #1 is a myth.
The more you know, the more ways you realize you can be wrong. Nobody that isn't dangerous would consider themselves #1.
@@LandonBell11 It is important to fail and therefore be wrong in order to learn, and in turn realize that “knowing” is the PURSUIT of knowledge itself that is important….and not the attainment of “all-knowing knowledge” (which is a myth). We look to scholars who stood before us to gain insight and understanding of knowledge: Einstein, Gandhi, Bruce Lee, Hawking…and many others who understood that the knowing is in the constant pursuit and therefore acceptance of inevitable failures as a means to rise above and further their knowledge - “a man who knows, and knows that he knows.”
@@stokedmtb333 so... knowing isn't knowing, but knowing you don't know?
Sounds like we're saying the same thing.
Lex, my husband have been watching you for a long time. We are in our mid and high 50's. Your voice, your vocabulary and the respect you show for your guests, even when you disagree is so unusual in society today (especially on the internet) You are a staple for us to watch and enjoy together and you are doing such a service to humanity. I pray you are so blessed and receive 100X back for all the time and insights into people and human nature you also share with your audience. Throughout this pandemic, and all the craziness that happened and is happening still, we love your calm, collected, patient, and introspective questions and topics you cover, as well as how you are a master listener.
unusual indeed
Yep.
Yes, isn't it interesting? Psychopathy is beautiful to us. Psychopaths,have an evolutionary advantage, super focused,tuned in, looking into his eyes,the glint. There is primal gaze. We're just biological machines?
Wonderful episode, so many memories. I’ve been very fortunate to have met Paul, JJ, Victor, and the entire team at the lodge in Madre de Dios. It was a life changing experience, and I cannot thank all of the team enough for welcoming us so warm heartedly and showing us their beautiful world with such love and passion. Like all of the few remaining natural “wonders”, the Amazon need to be protected by all means. We originate from mother nature, and we must never hurt or kill our mother 💔
As a future conservation photographer this makes me so excited to see what the future holds. I love the way he talks about the jungle and the animals.
I cant believe stories this good are free on TH-cam. Thank you Lex and Paul
yes free minus your monthly internet service bill or invoice😅, or phone bill. lolz, but anyways, yes I agree!
@@nozrep stolen electricity and Internet. I'm a very naughty fellow.
@@nozrep That comment was so fucking unnecessary
@@Hrossey You rock you slick bastard!! 🤜🏽😂
@@nozrep your point?
You can always tell a person who simply studies animals from a book and a person that has experienced the animal "soul". Steve Irwin was definetly smiling down that his messages of love and kindness still lives on. Amazing
The fact that we are about to get another episode just like this but in the rainforest. Exciting
Wow! At 49 minutes, and so engrossed. Fascinating. Was going through Lex's podcasts and stopped here bc this guest (whom I've never heard of before) has over 8M views😮. Elon had only 6M. Now I'm hooked on Paul, and will be Googling up a storm. What a guy. What a life. And Lex you're awesome. Love your conversational style curiosity. You ask deceptively simple questions then sit back and let your guests elaborate and beguile us with their stories. Thank you 🙏🏼
What an incredible episode
He tells some good stories. I wonder if he made them all up himself
ice poseidon
I agree. 'The Movie just started, i came online' Brilliant description.
I had to play this one to a friend its so good. This dude's life experiences must have been so surreal. Sad to hear he got divorced tho. I guess the Mrs. didnt want to share him with the jungle 😅
I'm willing to bet that mankind will eventually send a supposedly invincible android to the tribes out there and the robot will force itself upon the tribe learning their language and it will live with the tribe and start communicating with the tribe until it tricks the tribe into accepting the android as one of their own.
This was so unexpectedly fun to hear. I feel like his experience and wellspokeness unlocked a part of the jungle i never knew existed. Great guest
I love this Podcast but perhaps this is the best of then all
Not often I watch podcasts, let alone when they're this long. Honestly, the entire conversation had me hooked from start to finish. I'm not a fearless man, but I could only dream to do the things he's done, maybe some day I'll get to head down to the Amazon and see it for myself, it sounds like it would be the experience of a lifetime.
Huge shoutout to you Mr. Fridman for bringing on Mr. Rosolie! In all honesty, I never knew he was until I saw this video. Now I’m well aware and am going to purchase his book. This by FAR was your most intriguing interview. Within the first several minutes, I was thinking, “What in the hell was this crazy ass dude doing?!?” As it went on, I really got a profound sense of not just nature, but life I’m general. He literally is doing God’s work and many more of us need to do the same. Phenomenal!!
By far one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. Lexs curiosity and this guys stories was just such a great listen. Love u Lex
This guy? What?
Sorry TH-cam is glitching. I thought I was commenting on a wired video called “spy support” featuring a woman but it seems TH-cam is displaying a different comments section somehow.
@@somethingsomething404 lol
Lex gets off a rollercoaster with a wry smile and in a slow measured way he says "That was nice". His heartbeat never got above 65bpm.
Hahaha
I can totally imagine that😂
Psychopath
Robots be like that 😋
The BPM is an outward illusion. Lex is a somewhat anxious person. And when it comes to experiencing joys and pleasures I would care to bet he willingly increases his BPM.
He is so poetic when describing life in the Amazon. I so wish he could speak with my students…he would be a hero in their eyes.
Paul has an incredible gift for telling stories. The way he just talks about the events that happened in his life so far is absolutely amazing to listen too. You can visualize what he saying 💜
This man is living my boyhood dream. I chased different adventures now but I was wrestless in school and dreamed of mountains and oceans and adventures. This guy is doing what I yearned for decades ago. It is a true joy hearing him tell his stories.
I understand, only because I have an adventurous son. I taught him to read and count early and that's where it ended- his real education was time with my dad, a biologist or building and fixing things with his dad. My son could identify unique classifications of birds, animals plants and trees by age five.
By second grade his teachers tried to get me to put him on medication because he was bored, energetic and he didn't like sitting at a desk and staring at a one dimensional piece of paper for eight hours. He was a normal boy but we let him get tested, then I refused to put him on pills, especially when I learned that every child in his class got a recommendation to get tested and every child got a prescription. It's a situation of government subsidies, the doctors and the schools get a financial kickback.
l think that we're evolving, cells have memory, we carry the history of our ancestors inside of us and we need to tap into that, at our core level, if we're going to know the truth about human history and cycles of destruction. Other than learning to read and to do some math, school is a monumental waste, they're teaching an agreed upon set of lies and with the level of indoctrination now it's become downright detrimental. Kids are being conditioned for conformity, legal slavery unawares and institutionalized living and thinking.
A boy's natural thirst for adventure- that adrenaline rush- is channeled into sex, drugs, fast cars and otherwise embracing the dark side. Or they resign themselves to their fate and escape into technology and/or conforming. I don't think enough people realize that we are going to be living off the land in our lifetime, and it will be incredibly rewarding and humbling..some will choose to lose their soul in exchange for inconvenient convenience, it's essentially bondage leading them blindly into the mouth of the dragon. We would do well to start workshops teaching children- and even adults- basic and advanced survival skills and natural living. The world is so incredibly vast, parts of it have yet to be seen by human eyes, so beautiful -yet people pile on top of each other on a concrete slab, a prison without bars. That isn't truly living.
You can, it's called bushcraft
@@maggiemoonpie2168 Could you briefly explain how you believe we are going to be "living off the land" in our lifetimes? Also clarify what you mean exactly when you say "live off the land."
Can't imagine total societal collapse in our lifetime but I'm interested in your response.
@@SonoftheWest316 hunting and gathering. Why do you ask stupid questions bro?
Argue with your fn mom if you're bored.
It's never too late, go seek your adventure. ❤
Gotta be honest. Easily my favourite guest. Bravo, Lex. If you make it to the jungle with him you have to tell us all about it.
I watch this video just to hear how he describes the stars on the water. A genuine experience that holds such weight in the jungle love it
I loved this guest. He adopted an orphan ant eater to raise “She was mine” he said 🥰
lol , wish he had a picture 😊😊, so cool
It felt as if I was listening to nature itself speak. It's so grounding how genuine and sincere Paul is, this podcast was the biggest breath of fresh air.
Totally fascinating. Listening to Paul is like reading a book that you can't put down.
Wow that’s definitely one of the best analogies I have seen
agree
Can you give me some examples of books that you can’t put down please?
@@yosemalo The Holy Bible for one. I'm surprised you can read funny man.
@@usscott what?
By far my biggest hero. Ive been following this dude since 24 (10 years) when i was just learning how to packraft.
I LOVED this conversation. This is my fav Lex conversation so far. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this podcast. Simple as that.
He speaks like a writer. His description of the stars undulating between the movement of the anaconda blocking and revealing the night sky was vivid.
Let’s hope Lex does a podcast with JJ in The Amazon one day.
OMG yes!
JJ died. About 30 minute in He told the story about how great of a man JJ was and how he was somewhat of a legend of the Amazon until one day he was at a local BBQ and suddenly passed away. He doesn’t elaborate on how he died.
@@Peppercorn69 JJ's father Santiago died peacefully at a BBQ.
@@Peppercorn69 the chef was eaten by a snake
Absolutely
I’m a huge Paul Rosolie, and I had no idea almost 4 hours have passed. This is my first interview of yours I have watched and I’m a hooked. I am upset with myself for not watching any sooner, but I’m so excited for all the content I have to consume. I do UberEats full time, and I will be consuming a lot of your content in the next coming days. Thank You Lex for what you, and especially for giving Paul a place to get his message out
I have watched this numerous times. What an outstanding human being. Standing ovation 👏!!
This podcast hits so close to home. It just makes me feel good. I grew up in the Deep South US where thankfully we still have lots of rural, wooded areas with low population density. Of course it's nothing like the places Paul has been, but it's provided me a lifetime of amazing experiences away from concrete and people. If I don't get out in nature every week I start feeling anxious. I cannot imagine the things this amazing man has seen.
I was thinking the same. Walking to my mailbox a half mile away I see tracks. I heard leaves rustled. I see a tree being bored by something with claws for bugs inside. I step over a bug. Nothing compared to this man’s experience but quite something to what most people experience.
I’m also in the South. Very rural. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
@@citizentex5720 Nice post! Just in the past few days I've seen deer, crows, turkeys, buzzards, squirrels, geese, hundreds of various species of birds, and a possum in my large back yard that borders woods. I keep a pair of binos on my kitchen window sill to get closer looks. I put all my animal carcasses and uneaten food near the treeline so make sure the local buzzards always have a snack. They are ugly to most people, but to me they're beautiful. Few people realize that buzzard poults are fluffy white. We had a family living in an old shooting box on my dad's farm. We turned it over to them, lol.
I relate to
Paul Rosolie's experiences as in my part of the world, in my lifetime, I've woefully watched as they paved paradise and put up parking lots 😢
I can relate , I grew up in Alaska we had no shortage of adventures in the wild growing up , I wouldn’t trade those experiences for nothing
Very well put! I love scuba diving places that have never been seen, and it all goes back to a creek at my grandmothers house on the mobile bay. That creek, from the clams in the sand, all the way up to just the Spanish moss hanging from centuries old oak trees hanging over it, all gave me such a strong sense of wonder. Like how is there so much beauty, and we don’t even know the half of it!
this is officially the longest piece of individual content I've ever consumed in one sitting.
That speaks volumes about how engaging this conversation with Paul and Lex was and how incredibly fascinating the topics covered are. The 3 and a half or so hours quite literally just flew right past me, and I promise you I could've never watched a movie that's this long without melting into my seat.
Paul is especially gifted in his storyteller among other things. I felt like the way he described things made me experience what he probably experienced and it's just brilliant.
Wow ❤
Same here. Gave me goosebumps multiple multiple times. Amazing
@@carrieallen5057 really makes me wanna visit the amazon now lol
One of the few interviews I've watched beginning to end. I bought his book.
One sitting 😳
Does that include films?
Lex, you really are a great human. Thank you, for allowing these conversations to breathe and speaking with such heart.
Its no wonder Lex is going to the Amazon with this guy. Wealth of knowledge and has connections to other very experienced adventurers of the Amazon. Can't wait to hear about it.
He has the gift of making you feel like your actually there. Brilliant podcast ❤
great story teller
Such a grate guy
This conversation was so refreshing. So much energy and clarity in his words, at times I was overwhelmed with goosebumps from the perceivable beauty in his descriptions.
Foreal
You’re definitely a beta boy
Agreed! Visiting a small part of the rainforest in Costa Rica & seeing how amazing the ppl & wildlife there was is the coolest thing I've ever done so can only imagine what experiencing the Amazon would be like but def hope to go sometime soon😊
same here bro!
@@Sheseasyouthere So how much YOU donate? Enough to make an actual difference or just enough to virtue signal & feed your unchecked ego??🧐 It's obnoxiously hypocritical & arrogant to assume (based off 1 comment a total stranger made) you know what ANYone else is or has done so maybe lay off the nasty attacks & practice some kindness & humility ffs!!!
It's very hard for me to sit, uninterrupted for 3+ hours and stay intrigued. I did it no problem with this podcast. Awesome.
I imagine it's like watching and listening to a beautiful orchestra . Steve Irwin was definitely a one of a kind human . The whole world fell in love with Steve. He changed a part of my soul, too. This man is incredibly diverse. I grew up in the bush,and there's a symphony of crickets and a cascade of waterfalls,as you listen to the falling rain amongst whispering trees that beckon the winds ,and the haunting call of howling wolves ,as the full moon glows , dancing shadows move throughout the darkness ,piercing the night, it haunts your soul. It is indeed a part of you.
Incredible , this podcast left me speechless, i felt i was rediscovering reality with paul rosolie´s stories
Feel so too! What an amazing person.
It sent shiver down my spine that how dynamic those old jungles could be.
We’re definitely the most sedentary creatures on the planet now.
Brilliant way of putting it. I felt like it was reminding me of that childhood wonder that gets beaten out of us in these tramline lives
This is one of the best podcasts I will ever watch. So many parts that make me want to cry from happiness and from sadness.
I'm trying to imagine Lex in the Amazon 🕴
Enormous respect between both Lex and all his interviewees makes this podcast outstanding.
It's like having a gourmet meal after all the fast food junk we are being fed by the algorithm.
Loved this interview! I did not know Paul until this episode, but it's refreshing to see such a compassionate human being. I love how knowledgeable and caring he is about nature, and at the same time he does not pretend to know everything about every topic, yet he can share deeply relatable thoughts on those topics in his own words. It's refreshing to see someone with this passion that also is not fueled by hatred against those who don't see eye to eye with him. This approach is much more likely to make people understand his stance, vs throwing stones. Great job Paul, I wish we all thought this logically and open minded. ❤
The photo-podcast combination is AMAZING!!! next level
yeah!
Wait, I thought this guy was from System Of A Down????
Yes!
I listened to this. And realized by mistake I disliked your comment. I have liked your comment and agree with you. 😊
@@Menaceblue3 😂😂
This was a legitimately incredible conversation
Amazing 😊
@@lesleymaclennan7899😅
Lex, You have reached that day when you travel to the Amazon. Godspeed my friend.
What an amazing guy he is. What an episode. Exceptional story telling. I have also downloaded his book. Just feel like this guy has something crazy to share with the world.
What an incredible and deeply moving podcast. I suddenly feel the urge to just go outside and take in everything around me. The perspective and storytelling in this episode is wonderful.
Go outside- kick off your shoes- walk barefoot on the earth and soak up the sun and Mother Nature!!
My favorite place and sanctuary is my woods!
God is near you there, also.👍👍✌️🙏❤️
“Nobody no matter what the force can occupy my current space. I go to the wild.” Albert Camus.
Yes. The tall pines & 4 corner deserts are my soulitude. Sanity.
This is now my favorite cast to date. Brilliant! Wonderful! Inspirational!
Almost every other show falls into one of four categories;
1) academic (usually AI, mathematics or computer science)
2) super-guest (Musk, Rogan, Kanye)
3) biographical story of a comedian or a rare athlete/skill holder (Like the chess player or the arm wrestler)
4) political theory in general, historical event or current event (like Ukraine)
This show is more like an adventure. This category should be explored further by Lex imo.
@@JoeyVol true!
What a facinating guy Paul is...could listen to his stories all day..great human beng,he's an exapmle all of us should strive to follow
This podcast was so engaging, I caught myself CACKLING at Lex ranting about the evolution of an organism to form an apex. I think in our modern day society podcasts like this come and go, but Lex caught lightning in a bottle with having Paul on.
Lex is one of the best interviewers I've seen. He's the prime example of someone who listens instead of waiting for his turn to talk.
A😮
i think paul did the interviewer when it came to alinens hahaha
I actually love the way he’ll just stop after hearing his guest speak and just close his eyes, breath deep and absorb what he just heard. I do it at the same time sometimes while listening.
i honestly got annoyed more than once that hed go back to the notes and dive off one subject paul was talking super passionately about, like saving the rain forest and how he can have an impact at 18 - and lex immediately looks at the paper and asks " so what about andacondas". Was an amazing interview and im new to his process / channel but it felt pretty inauthentic more than once bc of this
@@kamBlak3Lex has said before this is all still a learning curve for him, there must be some anxiety there to have variation and keep topics going he’s always open about his flaws so it’s hard to fault him
It impresses me how he can manage living such an incredible lifestyle and also being this good of a conversationalist
Thats because after that tough jungle experiences, being in some show or podcast seems so easy.
@@hundredcaws It doesn’t work like that
If I could have lived in the jungle like this wonderful man, I would have become all wild I believe. A jungle savage with no way back.
😢
@@Blu3s7reakYou don’t understand the point he’s trying to make smooth brain
Watching this is not only informative, its soothing, it makes me wanna get back into the forrest and just sit there for a while.
Its 4am and i have Uni tomorrow lol
Anyways imma head to the forrest myself in the morning after class, and just go alone into the dark errie wilderness myself.
If i dont message back it means I didnt return. 😺
What a great podcast. What an amazing human being. I am so very grateful for Paul's dedication. May his work continue to expand. Thank you both❤
This may have been the most beautiful storytelling podcast I've every listened to. Thank you, Lex.

Bs he found a snake so thick he couldnt wrap his arms around it
I cant say ive sat through an interview this long, heck Snyders justice league barely held me this long, but hearing him talk about the Amazon was just captivating. The awe and just sheer respect and passion he has for part of the world....was inspiring. Dont know that ive been that passionate about anything in life, its moments like these that makes a person wonder what their meaning in the world is. Glad you did this one, amazing.
This is one of the BEST podcasts I've ever watched. I've actually watched it 3 times now. Nature is metal!!
Discovery did him so dirty. So happy he's getting to tell the real stories
When Paul talks about his struggles in school, undiagnosed Dyslexia and not reading until 10, it matches my son exactly. My son loves being outdoors and makes his own bow and arrows, survival tools and many other fascinating things. He so smart. School isn’t for everyone. These days, they do leave the kids who don’t fit into their educational mold out.
Thank you, loved this interview. ❤
I thought it was Serge Tankian from System of a Down, for a second LOL
Same
😂
Me too
😂 lol
I WAS HERE TO COMMENT THE SAME THING!!
It’s amazing that JJ is such a big part of this conversation and thanks to this guy for making that possible
It always shocks me thinking that without that Joe Rogan episode, we wouldn't have had (in my opinion) the most important podcast on the internet. Lex is absolutely fantastic as an interviewer, and Paul is an incredible guest.
As I started my morning here in Gothenburg, Sweden with an hour hike, having this pod playing in my Marshall headphones I ended up on my favorite spot on top of a mountain looking out over the ocean I got a fire going for the rest of the pod. Life bruh! This was an amazing conversation, thank you Lex and Paul.
Did you have a permission to start a fire in Sweden?😂
@@mad-dog67 What are you on about?
Must be nice…
Take the headphones off and listen and look and nresth
As I started my morning here in the UK on the toilet with a routine function, having this pod playing on my phones speakers, I ended up with my ass empty and my legs numb. Life bruh!
i’ve tried to watch almost all podcasts with paul in it, the way he tells stories and stares into the distance like he’s back in the story as he tell is, he seems to be living his dream truly.
Is there other podcasts you recommend that he is in, I just stared watching him, and I’m really interested
@@daniellegarcia1599 +1
@@daniellegarcia1599 Well he recently came on joe rogan's podcast, it's on spotify
@@daniellegarcia1599 he was on joe rogan too
@@daniellegarcia1599I personally just finished him on Joe Rogan and looked up if he made any other appearances and found this, I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did
Lex kept his word. At 2:05 he said he's going in and now he's in. Love it❤
I've been following this gentleman on Instagram for 4 years and always wondered when he will finally have the opportunity to share his story on a big scale like JRE. I'm so glad he finally made it onto this incredible podcast and can't wait to finish listening to it
This man tells his stories, and we are like the children listening to them before bedtime and eventually till late at night
It' s 3:30 am and I'm wide awake hanging on his every word.
@@marciamartins19925 am can't sleep / can't stop listening😂
lol yes , wasn't paying attention so i had to restart the video like whaaattt he talking about, that is lit
This was nothing short of inspiring. This man has such a clear, dedication and devotion to the natural world that just gave me such excitement for helping the Earth renew itself.
First time I watch a 3.5 hour podcast entirely. This was the most amazing conversation ever! The earth need many more Paul Rosolies 🙏 I now have a new item on my bucket list ❤
Came here from Spotify just to comment how amazing this episode was. Having listened to a large portion of your episodes, this was one of the best. Thank you
i cant begin to express how important it is to let our children follow their dreams, to trust them in their passions and their process. This amazing man is who he is because his parents let him live his dreams and trusted him enough to know that he knew what he was doing. Bless your parents, what an amazing interview.
Im back to watch this because you are actually going. I cant wait to hear everything!
Wow. Great. I've never in my life watched a three and a half hours interview on TH-cam from the beginning to the end! It was absolutely amazing to hear those stories! Awesome!
Paul is mesmerizing every time you hear him. Thank you as always, Lex. Best podcast out there!
Thank you for having this man on, Lex!! Extra special episode for me anyway. 🤗
Paul is so cool and fascinating it blows my mind, you can just see the truth and the love of the amazon jungle pouring out of him, absolutely love this guy. ❤ BMF!
How I loved this episode. As someone who views the natural world with such a reverence hearing Paul's passion & stories is such a treat. He also has such a imperative message to share about this part of the world & why we need to protect it. Add Lex's engagement, optimism & perspective on what's possible & this has to be one of my all time favourites.
This was an excellent episode, Rosolie is a super interesting guy and the chemistry between you two was really enjoyable to listen to. Thanks Lex.
I’m listening with a headset thinking I can finish household chores….but damn if I didn’t have to sit down and stare at this guy for the entirety of the interview. I don’t have proper words for how fascinating this is. Absolutely riveting!
❤️
Right? I thought I'd listen whilst doing my sewing projects. Nope
@@carlamarlene2927 lol…..it was a very compelling interview! Made me change my mind and think about thinks I never had before. I appreciate Joe Reading gab’s podcast for that very reason. All , or most, of his guests are so unique and interesting.He’s a great interviewer as well!
I truly believe if we need more scientist like this young man to do more exploration and studies on the Amazon - specifically medicines that could possibly cure many disease we are battling with - even cancer.
I started listening to this just at work just to have on in the back ground.
I had to switch it off about 5 minutes in as i wanted to do it justice and listen in my free time with all my attention.
What a great interview and stories, thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you 🙏
This was probably one of the most inspiring Lex interviews. The red line was coming to the end, and I was like , argh, I hope this doesn't finish so soooon!
"Werner Herzog said the penguin is deranged and I took offence to that"
typicall Lex 😂
I had quite a lot of experience on my work when we were called by city folks almost twice a month to rescue a Philippine reticulated phyton, barn owls and other raptors.
I wish he would start his own podcast he is the most important interesting man alive right now wether you believe it or not just the way he puts life Into perspective is unbelievable
