Funny enough, him describing the ploy while sort of mocking it as it happened led to an enjoyable moment in that episode (imo). It showcased his humility, and ability to make the most out of a situation while not taking himself too seriously.

Thing is, more I rewatch his shows, all of his comments about depression and anger have taken a really somber tone now given what we know. I wish someone was there with him to help him through through that time.

His death really affected me in a deep way I didn’t expect. I miss him so much.

One of the other big scenes like that is up-river in SE Asia, talking about "how he wished that he could say it would be difficult [to kill a pig with a spear], but that time and distance have hardened the person he once was".
That's one of my favorite scenes. He is so angry drunk and it's his birthday and you can tell he doesn't like the chef at all (the chef is the same guy who took them out "fishing" earlier in the day).
