Transcript

Oh, that guy kayaking through the Congo Basin is so crazy. No one's ever been there, except the 150 million people that live their lives every day in the Congo Basin, including millions that live on the Congo River as tribes with almost no gear and survive there for thousands of years. Wow, that's so crazy.
