Lex in the Amazon still wearing a suit made my day 😂

Imaging youre hiking far away from civilisation and you stumble into two guys with mics doing a podcast one of them in a suit.

this is why podcasts and this long format, unscripted, free flowing content will rule going forward.

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.

Probably the best episode he's done yet, dedication to wearing the suit is 10/10

-Consistency in suit wearing 10/10 -Interview 10/10 -Location 10/10 -Informative 10/10

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 ❤️

Best podcast of 2024. Most likely ever.

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!

I never clicked on a podcast so quickly

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. 🙏

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.

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.

Lex wearing suit at the middle of Amazon is the best decision ever made in the history of podcasting.

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.

We now want an interview with JJ.

This man can speak profoundly with simple language. Hallmark of a great communicator.

Great podcast, just donated a small donation to Jungle keepers. All love
