Paul Rosolie's Craziest Stories From The Jungle | Ep. 827 

Paul is the real 1%. I am not physically or intellectually capable of doing what he does. No more than I could play in the NBA. But I can celebrate what he does. And learning from him inspires me to be a better human the way I can.

I met Paul while hiking and was totally shocked at a shelter he made by hand in the woods it was so incredible. He was so chill he invited me to the Amazon with a team we met at Rei in soho New York. I never went although the cost would have been around $ 2000 I want to say it was around 2011 we met ..still he. Looks exactly the same and strong.

It's so beautiful to hear that there are still completely untouched places that we just can't get to. That is so good to hear.

I'm a doctor and Amazonian medicine sounds hella fascinating I wish I had the guts to go out there and learn. Great interview thanks x

Bot flys are my nightnare fuel. Just to hear him talk about it like its just another day in the jungle made my skin crawl

This is the second interview I've seen and this guy is absolutely fascinating. I'll tune again and hear more of what he has to say.

This guys amazing, a man’s man! We can relive his adventures n not even get dirty! Love his stories! He’s seen so much! Just crazy awesome stuff, I m hooked on his stories!

Paul is awesome, I couldnt imagine doing anywhere near what he does. Serious respect to him for sharing some of his incredible experiences.

Keep us the great work and memories, the world needs more people like you

What's so strange about a kid who grew up in 1990's and 80's New york? Going to the Amazon. He's been in the jungle his whole life.

Frank zappa is looking soo young these days omg

This was fascinating to listen to thank-you to BOTH..

I appreciate the host and his knowledge of the Amazon. This is the best Rosolie interview out of all of them.

Excellent interview Jordan. Thanks to both.

This is way more entertaining and informative than all the movies and mainstream news has given us for the past 2 years!

I found this by accident, and it changed my view of the world. Thank you so much! This is amazing!

Around 27 minute mark, among the missionaries he is speaking of, was Jim Elliot, and his wife ended up still going to that tribe, showing them forgiveness and the love of Jesus, and they came to be friends and Elizabeth stayed with them awhile. There was a movie made about this, called "The Edge of the Spear." ❤

Paul is a super hero to me, i could listen to his stories and knowledge all day ❤ i hope we get to see and hear more from him :) lex's podcast is the only other one i know of 😢 i need more

This was the most fascinating thing I've watched in years

This man is such a beautiful human being. Hearing him talk about elephants and anteaters 💖

It’s fascinating to hear what the wild parts of the world still hold as most of us deal with traffic jams, cell phones and stresses about work. It’s hard to listen to how there humans are humans who only think about making money. I loved the end with the talk about the animal interactions. The baby anteater had my eyes watering.

This video was so incredibly fascinating, and educational. Thank you!!

Great talk and awesome guest!

Some of this conversation reminds me of the movie Medicine Man. I am so glad I came across this interview. Keep saving the rainforest! ❤🙏🏼

I absolutely adore Paul Rosalie and he looks like a beautiful rare creature from the Amazon. Those eyes tell stories and go back to ancient time. He’s mesmerizing 🥰 the story of Lou Lou the baby ant eater captures my heart ♥️ what a life w/meaning & purpose. I’ve been to that part of Amazon 2 times & can relate to all the stories. 🍃🌿🍃🌿🌱♥️

Excellent conversation!

Great content!

One of the best interviews ever!!!! Paul seems so solid of a human being! Thank you for the opportunity to hear both of your experiences.

Great episode... I enjoyed the levity of this topic compared to your normal (very heavy) subjects.

Better interview than the others ❤️

wow great episode!

Lifestyles vary dramatically. Your guest is so interesting.

great job man

Your podcast was so awesome I loved yours and your guests stories so educational and interesting Thankyou for sharing !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤😀😀 throughly enjoyed it.

That was SO MUCH FUN!

I’m eating a PB&J sandwich during the bot fly story. Fortunately I already knew about those buggers

Guy heals himself with plants like in Far Cry.

The botfly story was great! Hahahaha! His fuckin smirk, he loves telling that story and freakin people out hahaha

Excellent show.

We encountered Bullet Ants in the Costa Rica rain forest. They were intimidating but we just had to stay clear of them. Of course I wasn’t sleeping out there. I was just hiking. Such an an amazing ecosystem. Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life. So cool. Vines growing on trees and animals living on those and bugs living on those. It is such a crazy diverse system. Seeing the turtles lay eggs on the beach in Costa Rica while jaguars and raccoons and vultures and sharks and crocodiles and hundreds of other animals all interact together for this birthing process was amazing. It made me feel so connected to life and disconnected from the bullshit of our American life.

Great content! Do you think you’ll be making anymore videos like these anytime soon?

This feller Rosolie is freaking awesome at telling stories. I believe him and imagine all his stories are true. I'm just saying he is really good at bumping up the freak factor with every story. His botfly explaination is a great example of his story telling. I could listen to him all day and of course I will never go to the Amazon rainforest for sure now

He reminds me of serg tankian the lead singer of system of a down

Awesome adventures, Thanks 🐸

If I ever had the money I would definitely take a trip to the amazon with this guy as a guide.Right up there with a trip to Guadalupe for a week on that awesome liveabord to dive with the great white sharks.

38:05 that happened to me when I returned to UK with two sites of green pus Leishmaniasis on my arm. It’s a parasite not a bacteria, transferred by sandflies. I had 3 months of a daily injection of sodium stibogluconate, it eventually went, no side affects. My tropical disease doctor was super excited about it all…

21:00 the I contacted tribes thing is so different. In Africa they first contacted the Hazda in the 60s and they were completely peaceful. I’ve only seen records of them killing a poacher who murdered one of them in 2012. Like people have lived with the hazda to learn from them and film some of their traditional practices like how they refine natural poisons to be strong enough to kill something faster but weak enough to eat the meat.

I’ve been binge watching Paul rosolie for 2 days now. I am utterly FASCINATED. this is the coolest man ever, I want to be him so bad but I know I’d be dead in a week. This man is a walking miracle!

That book shelf behind him is beautiful

This is my favorite episode

I am glad I ran into this video very interesting and great conversations, I loved it. Thank you again. Paul is so hansom.

This Guy is so awesome his story and storys are nothing short of amazing 💯💯

Jordan first introduced me to 'The Lost City of the Monkey Gods' and now this. I think I'm officially traumatized and I definitely have zero desire to go anywhere near tropical rainforests. I like my northern hemisphere way of living a lot more. I've been to the rainforest in Washington state. That's more my kind of thing. I couldn't handle this guy's book. I will not be purchasing.

Nice talk brother

My room mate in Colorado, from Alaska, her mom started alpaca rafts, he is the only person I have ever heard talk about them. But they are dope.

He reminds me of Zappa lol 😂

After seeing his interview with Danny Jones - Koncrete I started donating to Junglekeepers. What an amazing guy & I'm so happy to find this second interview!!

Best rule of thumb on dealing with people like uncontacted tribes is to never bring any city bs.

The fact that Paul is from NY but goes to the Amazon makes him so relatable i love how he makes references to city life to help us understand what its like there he is awesome

the ant eater bit never gets old

Paul you have great channel one of thee best out 🎉

I wanna go to the Amazon and find my own species of moth! Added to bucket list

the real life Tarzan

That's crazy how they cured him like that! Wow.

Great interview Paul Rosolie is pretty awesome as a person

Very interesting. What a man

Amazing person and amazing stories, a facinating life he has had and hopfully more adventures in the future. We all can't and shouldn't go to the Amazon but both of these men descibe it in a way that brings it to life better than any doc I have seen.

Literally one of my heroes. INCREDIBLE!

Wow, you guys are brave! Not my idea holiday! Lol

This man is fascinating

Awesome that you got Frank Zappa on for an interview 😂

I'm telling you this guy's the closest thing to tarzan we're ever gonna get..

Excellent

I was taught a lot about animal intelligence and emotional capability by pet rats of all animals. To most people, rat is a filthy bottomfeeder. A disgusting animal carrying diseases or diseased parasites. And while that might be true about rats living in suburban areas, rats infesting various food storage areas or food processing plants etc., there's a lot more to them than that. Rats are actually absolutely amazing, highly intelligent, very social and very emotional animals. They have distinct individual characters, social hierarchy, they have moods, they even have language that combines squeeks, facial expressions, whisker positions and even touching and nipping each other. They can make fun of each other, and we've seen them even making fun of people. And very recent research already confirmed that rats actually do laugh. They can feel love, they can feel fear and they can feel rage and everything inbetween. They mourn the loss of their rat pals. Rats are so similar to humans, it's unbelievable. Think about it. When an animal as small as a rat, is actually this complex, what about the bigger animals? What about pigs, what about cows? How intelligent must really be a dolphin or a whale? It's absolutely horrendous when you realize what is happening to highly emotional, intelligent creatures on a daily basis. You gotta switch the empathy off, otherwise you'd go mental.

I just bought his book "Mother of God" can't wait to read it. Fascinating stuff.

Everyone that is physically able and has the desire to understand and experience the Amazon should totally make the trip.

That’s a ingenious way of conservation.

Much respect for Paul!!

Jordan in reference to your belief that there is way less molestation now then in previous generations, (Ep.#825) considering the world population has almost doubled since 1980 statistically speaking odds are theres at least as much if not more today...?

Is there a way I can somehow get the recording of the growl of the male howler monkey that in his video ?

I was bit by a bullet ant in Pucallpa. Incredible pain immediately! Lucky I had just gotten Dragon's blood sap; i put it on the bite and immediately got relief! Other people got bit and the swelling and pain was intense. I tried to give them the Dragon's blood serum but they didn't believe me, also it might have been too late! It took them days! I felt bad.

I'm not saying that you're entirety incorrect about the monkey calls, but I don't think they do it just to talk in code, because someone could learn the language of the capuchins, and crack their code. I think they do it to mask their presence, so potential predators won't be as privy to humans nearby. I learned from a native American friend that tribal hunters would use animal calls when they were in the bush because it wouldn't spook the animals they were hunting, thus increasing the chance of a successful hunt.

( On the Amazon. ) NRPS RIP Spencer Dryden and Skip Batten. " I used to be a drummer, but it got to be a bummer... Now I am an outlaw on the Amazon.... Up in the city, you think my crop is pretty 😍 Sailing my cargo on the Amazon.... " 😂

You're up against an unstoppable force! Commuting city dwellers with a Starbucks coffee and a smart phone, Amazon delivery drivers and Ford explorer driving soccer moms are the clueless people you're battling.

Uncontacted tribes are fascinating!

It's odd that he went from new york to the amazon one jungle to the next....great man

Man thank god for chapters

Suggestion, tell a major pharmaceutical company that you can get them the compounds that cured you if they send some mercs down to clean out the Gold Miners. And the Lulu story is fantastic. Yes, I would also go with that was her saying HI.

While having an anxiety attack this was fun until the bug stories came and it freaked me out even more but I had to listen 😂.

I'm gonna record my next song in the amazon. Talk about pressure

Very interesting

This dude is on every podcast lol

I have seen some great other interviews with Rosalie, but the great thing about this one is that Jordan also has experienced the amazon, which is obviously appreciated by Rosalie

Sad how they destroying the Amazon 😢

This adventure is serious!

R.I.P.🙏✝️ Sister Dorothee 😪 Please leave a prayer ❤ GOD BLESS Y'ALL

My Father fell over laughing half a century ago when I began yelling save the Amazon, cut it down, ruin the world climate and pharmacy.

I just found this show this morning 😊! I enjoyed the conversation, and found it extremely interesting! I have the spiritual gift of Animal Communication, and when he talked about the Elephant's 🐘 I could really relate! Because when I was at the Circus last time! When the woman was having the Elephant do tricks, I started communicating telepathically with the Elephant Annie May, she talked about being tired of that life😥 she just wanted to rest and said she was too old for this Sh--! When the woman would be having the Elephant do tricks with her hanging on Annie May I couldn't believe the animal was swearing calling the woman a B 😮😂! My mother told me to quit talking to Annie May because she thought the Elephant would stampede! Because the Elephant kept searching for who was communicating with her in the audience! Once she realized it was me😮she looked hard in my direction and headed towards me, looking dead at me, it scared the people and my mother who were seated in my area! I told Annie May to Stop! And she went back to her routine! But when she was leaving the Circle she was in, she was looking back at me the whole time!!! I LOVE having this Spiritual Gift! I attribute it to not having any people friend's when I was a child. And only having animals, bugs, and lunch my mom would make for me and book to entertain myself with as a child, until my teen and being OSTRACIZED by the other kid's! I didn't know everyone couldn't do this by choice, until one day my father saw me talking to the 🐦 birds and told me to "knock it off"! He said that people would think I was strange! But by that time in my life it was way too late! It had become a part of my everyday experience and activities, all threw the year! He knew I was different from other children but ignored it like it would just go away! I'm a animal communicator now among having other special spiritual gifts!

Out of everything this man said, the least believable was that he turned down the cartel drugs. Who wouldn’t want to go skiing in the Amazon.

I started with a feeling of Paul being a bullshitter given the fantastic stories… after listening to him across different podcasts I must say he’s as genuine and hardcore as they come… truly passionate about the Amazon with literally zero fucks to give for anyone who has any opinion about him or his work… love your work Paul … more power to you!!!
