This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Al Michaels is going to join us here later in the show. Elle Duncan as well. She hosted that Skyscraper live event on Netflix. And I got to think that most humans have the same reaction that I do, except for those daredevil types. I don't know. What is the name of that sport where people, and I don't know how you get good at this, dive off the side of the mountain with wings and a GoPro? The squirrel suit? And then, yeah, the squirrel suit and then just fly along the side of a mountain. Watching others do that makes me queasy. It seems flippant about life.
I also have no idea how you get good at that. Base jumping? Yeah. Let's try that for the first time. Yeah. You know, like in other sports, it's like, ah, missed that shot. Let's keep working. Yeah. I don't know. It seems like a pretty high-stakes game. Bucket punishment?
It's not like Tom Brady getting better with reps at broadcasting. Hey, KB, can you help me here on the squirrel suit? Like, when does the trainer say, I think you're ready? Feels like you've got to be pretty sure. I don't know that all of you have the same feeling because I haven't talked to you about any of this. But I assume that most people who are not adrenaline junkies or daredevils, when they see the guy from Free Solo, Alex Hanold, walk. And it's fairly safe for him because he's this good at it. He's not actually fearing death, even though his family fears death. And there is the possibility of death. I also meant to ask Samson, I don't know how you get something like that insured. It seems impossible to put something like that on live television and have a zero percent chance that you're not going to be televising a live death in a way that we've never seen on television.
Well, we'll ask Seth Rollins. But him climbing that skyscraper, when I see the wind blowing his shirt and I see no ropes and no protection devices, I'm filled with a queasiness that makes me not want to watch it. The daredevil nature of it, I understand that it gets people to tune in, but it's exactly the reason I don't want to tune in. I don't want to feel like that when watching something. I'm looking forward to talking to Elle because she relayed an anecdote where she says five minutes before they went live on Netflix, the producer handed her a card of what she's to say if he falls and dies.
Ooh, I like that. I was going to ask her about that. Five minutes before. What was Seth going to say?
We can't do an ad read if we're handed it five minutes before.
That's wild. Look, I saw it on mute, so I would love to know how that went. Because I imagine there's a lot of personal stories, but is there like two and a half hours of also like, he's still
going no no it was it was 90 minutes total they're at points talking to him throughout it oh really the scariest part and then there are some people in the climbing game i'm watching it i meet everyone i'm watching with we are stressed so like this it looks scary as shit but climber people on the internet i've seen videos of like compared to rock climbing this is like climbing a ladder There are people out there that this was super easy and that for him, he wasn't stressed with this. I mean, Seth knows about that. Elle couldn't talk to him at the top, which makes for an awkward interview. Right, they lost him a few times. How does it feel? Wow. The scariest moments were when he would take a break and like go to the edge and just kind of like lean over and look.
Isn't the whole thing an edge? No, but like, cause there were parts where you get to like a, he got to like lofts. There were like 10 different parts where you, you climb up something scary and then you're on a loft and then you have to climb up again. So there would be times where he could just kind of stop and rest. And those were the scariest parts. He would literally go right up to the edge where he was an edge.
It was Seth Rollins. Yeah.
I'm looking forward to talking to Al Michaels as well later in the show. I got to talk to Darren Waller for South Beach Sessions.
