Now don't anyone be concerned that this boat may be crowded. There will be fewer people coming back. Please remain seated. Keep your hands on your feet. Let your time to vote and watch your children. Clear. Please wave goodbye to the people on the dock. Bye. We may never see them again.

Hello. We begin our journey deep in into South American rainforest. We are on the Amazon River where everything is bigger than life. You may already know that the Amazon River carries four times as much water as any other river. That's because it rains 365 days a year. Some years it even rains every day. I hope you've enjoyed some of our exotic flowers and plants collected from South America, Africa, and Asia for the World Famous Young Brews.

For example, our bamboo grows to be as high as six stories. Some people say seven, but that's another story. We are now in the deepest, darkest part of Central Africa. We are on the Kamako River. Let's see how far we can go. Let me ask you this. How many of you have seen the Jungle Booker? Good, good. Now, for those of you who have not yet seen the Jungle Booker,

there it is. Watch out. There's a giant python ahead. They can grow to be 24 feet long. Now don't stare at him or he may get a crush on you. We're gonna stop by our camp. Oh no, we have unexpected visitors. I couldn't get that Jeep started this morning, but they've turned it over. I mean, they've just gone ape. We are now on the Nile River in Africa and ahead is an African elephant.

Speak to it. Speak please. Good. Louder. Now spray the boat with water. He doesn't think we need water. There's an African belt. There are wildebeests, impalas, zebras, giraffes. Look up on the rocks how sweet the lion's giving the zebra a bath.

The lions are eating the zebra! Oh, I see a deer! Aww. Look at the deer. You see the deer up there? See? They're came in! Look at the colors! They're so cute! Look at the colors! Uh oh.

It looks like these guys could not outrun the rhino. I would not want to meet a low man on that sort of boat. Looks like these guys could not outrun the Rhino. I would not want to meet the low man on that photo pole. Just ahead is Schweitzer Fall, named after the famous African explorer, Dr. Albert Fall. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

No! No! No! No! No! The Jungle Aviation Supply had a fail and we got half of them on the plane. Watch out, you've got a kick-off roll ahead. Please keep your arms, legs and head in favor of family members and friends of ours. Oh no, the hippo is charging. It's a good thing I have a gun here. Shoot! Shoot!

Wow, that was scary. There's that missing boat that we've been looking for. What is that animal? It looks like monkey business. Oh, come on, really? Hey, put down that microphone. A monkey cannot drive a jungle group. Andy?

Wait, don't answer that. Boy, you guys have been busy. Okay. Why are you guys all the way down the road? Whoa, look at that. Come on, Ford. Hey, nice work there with the butterflies. I know butterflies are not what they used to be, caterpillars.

There's a sight rarely seen. It's the backside of water! O2H! O2H! Spooky mix! We are now in Southeast Asia, deep in Cambodia here. We're on the mighty Maycomb River. Ahead is a sacred temple built by the Khmer Empire. I just learned the real difference between an alligator and a crocodile. Listen, an alligator will see you later, a crocodile, after a while. Kampung Kampung Leporello Lampungi We are now in the bathing pool of the Indian Dolphin, a smaller cousin of the African Elks. There's a duck! And we're in the water! That's a big shot up there under the waterfall.

Down in front of it is too little. Uh oh, looks like we may be getting a shower here. Don't squirt it. Oh no, don't do it. It's a good thing he forgot to pack his trunk on that trip. Here I'd like to point out a few of my favorite plants. Let's see, is there? Yeah, that one and here are those two. Hey kids, do you know what the scariest plant in the jungle is? Bamboo!

That's a joke you can call at school. Bamboo! This is a joke you can call it school. Bamboo jokes. Just the Hell on the Left is one of our newest additions to the jungle. This is Trader Sam's Hip Shop. We are now about to enter the most dangerous part of our journey, our attempt to dock the boat. If you look over in this direction, you're going to see a strange phenomenon. A dock on the left, and then another dock on the right. We call that a paradox. Please remain seated. Keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs on the right. We call that a paradox. Please remain seated.

Keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the boat, and watch your children till we stop alongside the pier. Please don't give in to peer pressure. When the boat comes to a stop, please exit by the same entrance that you came in through. If you're on the jungle side, please go straight back. For safety, please don't step over the center crate.

This is not a crate, I do. Thanks for coming. I'm going to find an emergency belt. Bye. Thank you. Watch your head and step. Use the handrail as you exit. Please watch your head and watch your feet. Watch your head and step. Use the handrail as you exit. Watch your head and step him in there and see if you can. I just need to hurry up and get that thing out. Not really that bad. I know.

I didn't get a book yet. Just wanted to know. If you see him out there, let me know. Okay? Might have to help her out. I'm going to go get a book. I'm going to go get a book. I'm going to go get a book.

She got her boat early this morning. I didn't come back. Just like that. If you see him out there, let me know, okay? Might have to help her with the out. Big emphasis on Mike.

No guys, all right? Just sit here. Bend your knees, let gravity do the rest. Oh, wow. And don't worry, all the seats are the same. Except for the ones that are bedded. All right, why that? And we're off.

Like a boat full of people. Not so great with analogies, but anyway, good afternoon there, adventure lovers. Welcome aboard the world-famous juggle cruise. I'm Skipper, A.B., and I'm going to be your guide for the next five days and ten romantic nights. Hey! To increase our chances of survival,

please remain seated throughout our journey keep those arms hands legs fingers feet inside the boat away from the sides and watch those lower now as you might be feeling we are going through a rain forest yeah and around here it rains about 487 days a year yeah if you think about it, it's almost every day. Now, over here on our right-hand side, folks, we have the famous Temple of the Forbidden Eye. But over here on our left, we have this newly installed snake statue. Yeah, it's pretty great. Me and my friend Jerry have a debate, though. Jerry says that's a heavy oar, but me, I say it's pretty light. Anyway, we are now entering a Cambodian shrine built by Cambodian shriners.

And oh, over here on our left hand side, folks, that's an Indo-Chinese tiger. You know, Indo-Chinese tigers are actually known to jump over 20 feet. But don't worry, we're only 15 feet away. He would just jump right on over us. Just kidding. you would just jump right on over yeah we are now at the hangar sacred bathing pool of the indian elephant and oh wow look at that you know what go ahead and feel free to take as many photos as you like okay they all have their chubs on fun fact dolphins can grow up to four feet while humans can only grow up to two. And that's Bertha. Look at that, covered in wrinkles.

You know, honestly, I think she's going to have to see a pathodermatologist later. Now, do you all know why? Do you all know why elephants have so many wrinkles? There's no irons in the jungle. Only six minutes left. I'm sorry. Oh, that sounded dangerous. Let's get closer. All right. This is embarrassing. They weren't here before. Oh, they're going deep all over. Dr. Ternokia is in here. That's not good. Oh, look what they did to the Jeep. They left the lights on.

Now we're never going to get it to turn over. Do me a favor, okay? Don't make any sounds like a banana. Yeah, they find that very appealing for some reason. Now, if you all look closely over here on our left-hand side, folks, yeah, if you look right through there, if you look closely right through there, right through there, you're going to see absolutely nothing. And that's oyster sauce.

Don't worry about it right now. We're going to go over it later. And friends, we are now turning down the Great Nile River of Africa. Yeah, it goes on for Niles and Niles. And if you don't believe me, well then, here's a Nile. Now, over here on our left we have an african bull elephant known for its long tusks big ears of perfect memory so we're trying to have perfect memory now over here on the right we have an african bull elephant known for its long tusks big ears

Those are wildebeests and those tall ones on the back, those are trees. Oh here's a family of lions they're showing their favorite tree, zebra on the wrong hand and they're sharing it together with pride oh no okay i think we found felix and it doesn't look good felix how many times do i have to tell you arms and legs stay inside the boat man oh like i said it's his first day and probably his last so let's make sure we're on the same page, okay? No one saw Skipper Felix and his crew being chased by a rhino,

right? No one saw it. That way no one has to do any paperwork. Oh, I have a thinking feeling about this. Ah, there's part of his boat. No wonder we're the other half one. Okay, everyone stay calm. There's no need to panic. We're only surrounded by

dangerous hippopotamuses. Okay, these two are charging the boat. Cover your ears, friends. You're gonna scare them off with a gun. There you go. That did it. Scared them stiff. Yeah. That's why I'm just gonna cover your ears, folks. I always put my arm and leg in. This is your life. You're welcome. I mean mean honestly, it could have been worse, right? What are we all looking at? No, okay, it got worse. Well, here's the other half of the boat. You know, you're rolling the map the wrong way. Don't tear the map in half. You have something in your teeth. That's not healthy for you. You know, they'll be okay, they're just hanging around. Now, I can't quite pinpoint it, but our friends on the left here, they really, really bug me.

Funny though, butterflies aren't what they used to be. Caterpillars. Anyway, up ahead we have the amazing, the Supend the 8th Wonder of the World. Look at that. Front Side of Water. Yay! OQH. OQH. OQH.

And we'll go look at that. And the Front Side of Rock. Hey. Okay. I said it next exactly. I think I should have been bolder with that delivery. All right. Thanks so much. That joke is not solid. It's pretty marvelous. But a I should have been bolder with that delivery. All right, thanks for helping that joker talk solid. It's pretty marvelous, but a lot of people take it for granted now.

Anyway, we're slowing down because I was told this is a great fishing spot. So if you see any fish, let me know. Oh, no, piranhas. That's not the fish we want to see. Hungry piranhas. Hungry piranhas. I don't know how they swim here all the way from Hong Kong but that's actually quite impressive. Oh hey that's a python sitting in a tree. H-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Now do you know how I can tell that's a python and not a moth? No feathers. No. Now friends, that's the Jungle Cruise tour without a Jungle Cruise. So we're here from our Jungle Cruise gift shop.
