This Friday, live on Netflix, he will climb the futuristic-looking skyscraper Taipei 101.
Again, that is live, no ropes, on Netflix.
Neil, I was reading some interviews with Honnold ahead of the event.
This dude is not normal.
The New York Times asked him if he's worried he'll slip, and he laughed and said, you just hold on tight.
They also asked him if he's practiced a lot on the building, and he said he's climbed it two or three times.
Is it two or three times, Alex?
I have to know.
Anyways, for Netflix, it's another foray into live entertainment.
and certainly its most dangerous one.
A lot of people are a little mad at Alex Honnold for even attempting this because, you know, he's married now.
He's kind of entering the next stage of his life.
And they're like, why do you feel the need to do this stuff?
But maybe the same way that we feel walking outside and just walking down the street, this is how he feels about climbing a building because the holds are very predictable.
You know, it's not millimeter on a rock face, probably compared to El Capitan.
This does feel a little bit easier, but still a daredevil stunt for someone
at a different part of his life now.
Great show today, Neil.
I wish you all well.
Ben, is Elon Musk really going to buy Ryanair?
