Thumbnail

A worried-looking man is shown with a thick snake coiled around his neck in a dark forest. Large yellow letters dominate the right side of the screen stating 'I ALMOST GOT KILLED.' Two men are visible at the bottom in a studio setting, framing the story as a podcast interview.

The intro — as said out loud
[snorts] Oh, she doesn't want to be kissed... this is a Burmese python. You were charged by an elephant in India... I just jumped and I rolled down the 12 ft... I was like I'm alive. In this 500th special episode of Figuring Out, we have Paul Rosseli, a conservationist and author known for going where most people wouldn't even dare to look. When you see a tiger in the wild, they're so big... there's only what, 5,000 of them left on Earth. If you want to understand what's really happening inside the world's most dangerous and important rainforest, this episode is a mustwatch. You've said that Amazon at night is a festival of sex and death.
