Yeah, the brand new. That's back from the Amazon with that.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Nice. Marshall, say hi to everybody. Come here.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

He's been on a couple.

Jamie (0:33)

You good boy.

Paul Rosolie (0:35)

You good boy.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

I just have to keep him from going under the water. Oh, buddy.

Paul Rosolie (0:39)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

I got to keep him from getting under the water. Come on up here. Come on up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's the best.

Paul Rosolie (0:49)

He is the best. He's a big sweetie. He's soft, man. He's got amazing coat.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Big sweetie. Well, he gets groomed. Oh, thank you. Thank you for the kisses. Okay. Okay.

Lie down, please.

Paul Rosolie (1:01)

Lie down.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

Lie down, please. So.

Paul Rosolie (1:04)

Oh, my God.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

You released that video. I saw the video of the uncontacted tribe.

Paul Rosolie (1:10)

Yeah, hitting send on that was scary because. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Wild.

Paul Rosolie (1:14)

I sent you a message that day.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

Yeah.

Paul Rosolie (1:16)

When that happened.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Yeah, you did. That is crazy. I've showed it to a few people, but we never showed it live. But it is. So, Marsha, you got to lie down, buddy. You can't be climbing under the wires. Lie down, bubba.

Paul Rosolie (1:28)

Sit, sit, sit. Come here.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Good boy, good boy, good boy. That experience has to be so insane to contact like legitimately uncontacted people. There they are.

Paul Rosolie (1:37)

Yeah. Yeah. And so.

Joe Rogan (1:39)

Those gentlemen do not look at their dongs.

Paul Rosolie (1:41)

Do not. Well, I mean, you know, but also maybe take a style tip from them and tie them up.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

Weird how they got their waist wrapped up, but they don't have their dongs whapped up or their butthole.

Paul Rosolie (1:52)

Well, the it seems like they're trying to protect or they're trying to keep lots of rope. I think rope is like their main things. That's how they carry all their rope.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

Interesting. And they carry the rope around their waist.

Paul Rosolie (2:05)

They carry their rope around their waist and they just want rope. They want rope and bananas.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Do bananas grow in the Amazon?

Paul Rosolie (2:13)

So bananas don't grow unless people plant them. So there's certain human settlements where, you know, you can find old bananas growing, but plantains really is what this is. And they were requesting them. What you see happening here is...

Joe Rogan (2:25)

They request them.

Paul Rosolie (2:26)

Yes. They come out and I mean, these are people coming out a thousand years late to society and they're out on the beach holding up their hands saying, no mole. We are the brothers. No mole means brothers. And so now we actually think that they call themselves the brothers.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

Whoa.

Paul Rosolie (2:40)

And their first thing was, we want bananas. And so the local anthropologists that we were with, we were just there to work with the communities that we work with. And these guys came out across the beach and you see them, they're holding their bows. And those bows are 6 foot bows, 7 foot arrows. And we were set, you know, the anthropologists were saying, put down your weapons. Put down your bows. Before you talk to us, this does not need to be violent because their first instinct is to defend themselves. And so there's maybe 20, 30 of us and the local guys had a couple of shotguns just in case for protection because we were not initiating contact. That's the thing I've been explaining to everybody. We were just there working in the community. They came out to us.

Joe Rogan (3:23)

So they knew you were there and they came out to you. And how does someone speak their language?

Paul Rosolie (3:28)

There's one guy in the community that kind of speaks a little bit. They speak in the community. They speak Yine. The Mashco Piro speak a derivation of that. And so he's they're speaking in broken in broken terms across across the river. So they were sort of shirts versus skins. We were on this side of the river. They were on that side of the river. And then I mean, the courage of this guy to get in the river and go, you know, 10 feet from them and push the canoe. There was no contact, no physical contact made. But he gave them these these these plantains. And then you notice when they take them, it's not like, oh, yes, take the plantains. We'll go back in the jungle and divvy them up. It's like, what I get, I get. They're fighting over them. And they were all screaming and fighting over them. So there's desperation there.
