You know, how do we get back to that?

And, you know, I've been hearing everyone reacting to you doing episodes outside.

And everyone's like, we love this.

You know, hearing, and I heard the birds and there's green and it's like, there's something about it that's just so comforting.

the rainforest, when you're walking in the rainforest, it's like, you know, I can't even use the pen in this, like I'd have to put my hand to the ceiling.

You're this big and the canopy is 160 feet above you.

And there's macaws up there and there's parrots up there and there's monkeys going around and there's, what you don't realize is then there's

There's ants and termites and lizards and snakes, and there's all this stuff moving around.

50% of the life in the rainforest exists in the canopy, and much of it never touches the ground.

And so it's this world of branches.

And so when you're walking in the rainforest,

You are this tiny thing that's restricted to the ground, and these giant trees like pillars of some great cathedral are above you, and then the branches, and you have no access to this.

Maybe there's a few, maybe Alex Honnold could climb up there.

I've done it a few times, but you're risking your life.

And so the canopy of the Amazon is where there's undiscovered medicines.

Scientists have been trying, I met a guy who would take hot air balloons and throw a net on the canopy and then he would jump out of the hot air balloons so that he could sample the different plants that are growing in the canopy.

I know people that shoot a giant slingshot to go over the branches and then they use the ascenders to get up onto like one branch.

Yeah, well, the video that I sent you where I'm like, that first shot where you go to a thousand-year-old tree, I'm sitting up on a branch that's, I want to say it's like a full oak tree, but in New York, good luck finding an oak tree that big.

Most oak trees are not as big as the branches of these trees.

They're skyscrapers of life.
