That footage of the uncontacted tribes is insane

@murphrecords 8 months ago

“they don’t know water freezes” blew my mind, never even thought of that, absolutely wild, makes sense

@bykurt_is 7 months ago

Every time he comes back, it’s never a boring episode.

@RickySariol 8 months ago

“It was 2 tribes looking at each other, with 1000 years of civilization between them”
Damn tht was an absolute bar. Gave me goosebumps.
Paul is an amazing storyteller, I have to get his book!

@schlepedits7486 8 months ago

Jeez... on top of logging he has to deal with cartel hits... most people would quit. He's earned my utmost respect.

@SilvanaDelCarmenBuilesGait-l6j 7 months ago

I had the chance to work in the Colombian Amazonian region, collaborating closely with local governments to explore ways of developing the region without destroying the forest, including agroforestry and ecotourism. Seeing Paul’s commitment is genuinely inspiring and gives me real hope for what is possible across the entire biome.

@malachiluck9207 8 months ago

Compared to what most of us have experienced in our lives, this shit is completely insane.

@ramonveltmeijer9961 8 months ago

The uncontacted tribes footage is going to break the internet. Never have i seen them in such high quality. Astonishing to see. Thank you Paul for all your great work!

If I was 150 years old on my death bed, and a new Lex and Paul episode dropped (they would also be old I know) I think I would live 4 hours longer just to listen to the convo. What a treat every time!!!

@bajango3975 8 months ago

Never clicked faster in my life. This dude is inspiring AF.

@ghostlyedward 8 months ago

Okay I was just re listening to the last Paul podcast, clicked on lex's channel to see whats happening because I haven't been here in a while and 56 minutes ago there's another Paul roselie podcast??? Divine timing

@BarefootBenbo 8 months ago

I hope Paul gets to live the life he wants after he reaches this monumental goal. He has lived more than most of us ever will already. I’d be happy continuing to listen to his passionate stories for many years to come. Stay safe Paul. Thank you Lex. The conversations you two have had makes me feel like I’m with friends.

@whiplando 8 months ago

What a life this man lived. I lived vicariously through his story telling. What an encounter.

@Bigdelicious2112 8 months ago

Took Anthropology in college and learned more in this video than I did in a semester of Anthro.

@jeffspegal 8 months ago

Lex the next time you do a pod cast with Paul tell him to bring more pictures or videos that we can watch while he's telling these amazing story's. PLEASE 🙏
