Snakes are awesome. Snakes are so cool. They're so good. They're magic. You put a snake down and they just vanish into a forest. They're just gone. Or the fact that anacondas that are the length of double this table, you have an anaconda that's huge and they can live their entire life without ever being detected. They're just moving through streams.
They're taking down big prey and then they go hide again. Okay, guys flew in from, uh, the Amazon jungle. Let's go. We got Paul here. How long you been out there now?
This year, this is like one of the first times I've been in civilization. So like, wow. Yeah. Cold water. Um, all that stuff. It's very, it's very cool. So there's a big change for you. It's a big change for me. I can wear, I have not, I mean, I'm wearing a shirt. I am wearing two shirts. I have shoes on. It's like, yeah, it's a different reality. You spent a lot of years out there then.
I mean, yeah, I went down there first when I was 19 years old. Uh, 18 or 19? No, it's been 19 years. I went down there when I was 18 years old. Jeez. And I mean, the last couple of years I've been spending seven months out of the year in the jungle. So, so really that's, that's become home. Wow.
Yeah. So coming back to society is weird as hell. Yeah, I bet. Yeah. Like I'm like, you know, like, like you ever see like a dog get scared of traffic? Like at this point, like I'm used to falling asleep to the sound of frogs. Wow. So like I come back and, and I just like the sound of air conditioning, the sound of motors. I'm like, you know, it freaks me out.
It must be pretty soothing to fall asleep to nature sounds. Oh, it's the best. You sleep so good. Yeah. Everybody tells me that. I play rain sometimes when I can't sleep. Yeah, dude. My favorite is like rainforest thunder tracks. When we record our own, we make our own. Oh, you do? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, you just like leave a recorder out in a swamp for all night. Yeah. And just get the thunder and the water dripping off the leaves. It's fantastic. It's such good sleep. We should actually, we should put that up. Yeah. We should share that with people. That would do well. Yeah.
