That actually went a lot better than I thought it would. It should be up on iTunes in a few hours if anyone missed it.

Keep in mind people... Joe isn't a climber but he's a 5.12 martial artist. Different strokes for different folks.

Ya that would be a total trip for him at the UFC, with porn stars. Who the heck is the other guy, Joe Rogan's buddy on the show? Is he a porn movie producer or something?

Brian redban. He produces the podcast, and all other "death squad" podcasts. He isn't a porn guy, but has dated quite a few porn stars.

I can't wait to listen to this tomorrow. Joe is such down to earth person that I figured there will be some new info coming out of Alex Honnold. Seems like there are good parallels between what Joe likes about MMA and what is great about climbing... We'll see. The Joe Rogan Experience is by far my favorite Podcast.

Does anybody on hear listen to The Enormocast? I follow that one as well and am always entertained

I've had Joe's balls in my face and can attest that he's more like a solid 5.13 grappler; he almost popped my head off. He's also a super nice dude, which I didn't count on being the case.

His turning side kick is incredible. GSP calls it the best he has ever seen; "If Joe hit some guy with that kick, that guy is going down hundred percent."

Yeah? Joe Rogan talking about a woman who was bitten by a spider and referring to her now as having a "hole in her hole". And castigating women who are in porn films as having "low moral values", while he nonetheless gets-off from watching them. Joe ought STFU when it comes to giving kids advice on how to live 'true'.

I was a little surprised that Alex hung 'round till the end of the interview. If it were round a campfire, I'd like to think Alex would have gotten-up and walked-off. Or at the least, spoken-out. I doubt Alex could have learnt much from that interview to enlighten his life in a meaningful way.

I'm pretty sure Alex did a little homework, and kind of knew what he was getting into, or maybe not.

Either way rogans basically a weed smoking comedian , who's day job is describing people trying to kill each other, and getting reality show contestants to drink donkey semen.

I thought he went a little easy on Alex, and that he seemed to enjoy himself after a bit.

I'm also pretty sure his sponsors didn't mind him being on a podcast that gets hundreds of thousands of listeners, the majority being males 18-30, and into mma and "extreme" sports.

I like to think he would have kicked Joe's ass. How dare Joe use that kind of language on HIS program?

Great, still watching. Go watch the UFC Honnold. I'm a prude so I don't know what to say about the porn stars..

Maybe Everest is a hike with consequenses.

It was interesting. I watched the first 50 minutes or so, hope to watch the rest later.

A favorite:

"(To the kids:) Do what you're drawn to… Whatever you're drawn to, go to that. (To Alex H:) What you do would make me sh#t my pants every day of the week. I have no desire. I don't ever look at mountains and go, Fuk, I need to climb that sh#t. Never. It's not in me. It doesn't appeal to me…. I'm so not into that. But I love the fact that you are. You know, I love the fact that people are so different. Whatever it is. Ones and zeros inside of your system make you look at a tree and want to fuking climb it. I don't know what it is, but it's awesome. It's shocking and it's weird but it's awesome."

Nice to hear these guys liked the film, Kick Ass, too. Because it was so out there, me too. :)
