Paul Rosolie: Jungle, Apex Predators, Aliens, Uncontacted Tribes, and God | Lex Fridman Podcast #429

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

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

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 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 made it out of the jungle alive ❤ Below are timestamps. Please check out our sponsors to support this podcast.

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.

Watching lex sweating to death wearing a full suit in the middle of the amazon for over 4 hrs of recording yet still maintaining such thought provoking content is why he is the greatest podcaster

I've been dealing with a pretty crippling depression for the last few years and this podcast really inspired me to live more life. Im not getting any younger and my lust for life is grand, but at times, its difficult to connect with that lust. This reignited it. Thank you guys, truly.
