SueHOST
Sammy, go on while South America is waiting for me.
SueHOST
Guys, did you know that the large Amazon River flows through this continent? It's also known as the world's full-flowing river.
SueHOST
In 2011, it was even included to be part of the seven natural wonders of the world!
SammyHOST
Someday they'll include us in some international wonderful list too, Susie! I can feel it!
Tyler KiwalaHOST
We referenced it in our webinar too.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
It's called Genesis for a New Space Age, and it's about, um, 500 warrior colonists who left Germany in the 16th century, so in the 1500s, who were presumed to have perished 4,000 miles up the Amazon River.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
But what ...
Tyler KiwalaHOST
If you go on to read it, I'm not gonna read it all, basically, they had to ...
Kevin JacksonHOST
True story.
Kevin JacksonHOST
there's a time when the Atlantic Ocean rushes in on the Amazon River.
Kevin JacksonHOST
It actually has the strength to push the Amazon River back upstream and it creates this certain kind of a tide.
Kevin JacksonHOST
There is a white dude that surfs it.
Kevin JacksonHOST
I'm talking, he's on a surfboard.
Jim KwikHOST
That was the most amazing experience, right? And we came across an indigenous tribe, their very first Western contact.
Jim KwikHOST
But if the Amazon River is one of the most amazing forces of nature, a huge river, it's being fed through streams.
Jim KwikHOST
Does that make sense? Multiple, multiple streams are feeding this into creating this experience.
Jim KwikHOST
And what I'm here to say is this potential that you have, your intelligence, your memory, whatever it is, is being fed through streams.
Alie WardHOST
Now, a pineapple express is another that's-got-to-be-fictional weather term, but it's true, and it's like 100 years old in terms of terms.
Alie WardHOST
But it's when colder low-pressure air from, like, the Gulf of Alaska meets up with some high-pressure West Coast winds plus a little bit of Hawaiian, AKA pineapple moisture, and it forms this thing called an atmospheric river, which is a long, thin thread of wet weather that can carry sometimes as much moving water as the Amazon River, apparently.
Alie WardHOST
And you can call an atmospheric river a tropical plume or a water vapor surge or cloud band, but just keep a rain slicker handy.
Marshall ShepherdGUEST
But having said that, we know that climate change is impacting our weather today.
Matt BreenHOST
In 1540, Gonzalo Pizarro, along with Francisco de Oriana, led a large army over the Andes and into the Amazon basin in search of these fabulous lands.
Matt BreenHOST
Pizarro barely made it back alive, and Oriana would end up sailing all the way down the Amazon River, which is an incredible feat and one I covered in the early days of this podcast.
Matt BreenHOST
Again, I recommend listening to that.
Matt BreenHOST
It's a great story.
Drew SavageHOST
Okay.
Drew SavageHOST
The Amazon River.
Drew SavageHOST
The Amazon River was the one that we were looking for that runs through Peru and into Brazil.
Drew SavageHOST
The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl last year.
Drew SavageHOST
They are playing the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch tonight in Seattle to kick off the NFL season.
Mark FaldmoHOST
Um, these are all on Holland America.
Mark FaldmoHOST
This cruise is round-trip Fort Lauderdale, and it's an Amazon River cruise.
Patrick WiscombeHOST
Oh.
Patrick WiscombeHOST
[laughs]
Mark FaldmoHOST
So it goes down, it does kind of a Southern Caribbean cruise, then goes down and cruises up the Amazon River to Manaus, and then does a little bit more Southern Caribbean before returning to Fort Lauderdale.
Mark FaldmoHOST
So-
