1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: He did it in one hour, thirty one minutes and

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: forty seconds and it was stream lived on Netflix, and

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: I say, he's crazy. Guy's nuts. I can never do

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: this in a million years.

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: You get nervous going up in an elevator. I remember

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: one time we were in the the I think it

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: was it was the Sears Tower in Chicago. I refused

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: to call it the Willis Tower. It's always going to

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: be with that. And we were going up the elevator

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: and there are these video screens on the wall of

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: the elevator and the Sears Tower that kind of show

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: you where you're at, where you're at, and so you

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: get this sense that you can kind of like see

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: It's almost like you're looking through a window, although not quite,

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: but you kind of feel yourself going up there. And

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: when we you were grabbing on to me for dear

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: life while we were going up that elevator. So yes,

18
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: I have no doubt that this is absolutely nothing. You

19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: would even come close.

20
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Now we did go all the way up. They have

21
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: those boxes that you can step out into, the glast box.

22
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: I can't remember what those are called, but one of

23
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: them leans out and you kind of like put your forehead, stepped.

24
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Into one, nearly threw up on myself. Yeah, okay, we're done.

25
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: I struggled. I was okay in the elevator. But but

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: but those whatever. There's the thing about that.

27
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: It was it was a cloudy day, so you really

28
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: couldn't see down. You just felt like you were you

29
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: were up in the clouds.

30
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: So can you imagine what you would have been like

31
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: if it was a clear, sunny day and you could

32
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: see a thousand feet to the road.

33
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. This guy, his name is Alex Hanauld,

34
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: and he climbed a building in Taiwan. It's called the

35
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Taipei one oh one. How tall is this? It's a

36
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and one story skyscraper. It's one thousand and

37
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: six hundred sixty seven feet tall. It is the eleventh

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: tallest building in the world. Dude climbed up to the summit,

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: took a selfie, got paid to do it, and then

40
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: climbed down. Now, the thing about this not only because

41
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: it's very tall and that gives me the feet sweats,

42
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: it's also the highest urban free solo ascent in history.

43
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: He used no ropes, no nothing, Yeah, you get up there.

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: He used his hands in his feet and.

45
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: Just talking about this, the palms of my hands are

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: sweating just talking about this. That I don't care for

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 2: heights like that either. But yeah, he didn't use any

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: climbing gear on the way up. Now used a harness

49
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: on the way down, okay, But on the way up

50
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: he had no harness. He had no I don't know

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: what those little picks are that you see.

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: He could chew.

53
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: The building's made of glass, but you could, you know,

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: suction cups or nothing something like that. He just raw

55
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: dogged an entire one hundred and one like Spider Man

56
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: climbing on one hundred and one story building normally. I'm

57
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: actually surprised we missed this. This is the type of

58
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 2: stupid televised event because it was broadcast live on Netflix.

59
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: This is the kind of stupid televised event that I'm

60
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: usually one hundred percent down for right and watching something silly,

61
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: something stupid. There was somebody several years ago that did

62
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: something in this country that was similar to this. I

63
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: can't remember what it was, but this is part of

64
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: a long history of stupid things that we like people do.

65
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: And I think evil can evil that comes to mind,

66
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: evil and evil was I mean, he was a superhero

67
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: in the seventies. He was jumping motorcycles at Caesar's Palace

68
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: and breaking every bone of his body, and everybody was

69
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: turning it into ABC Wild World of Sports just to

70
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: watch it happen. I get the thrill and the interest

71
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: in this sort of thing, and there is a history,

72
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: at least in this country, of us being interested in it.

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: And this was a big deal. Netflix's got a ton

74
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: of people watching it. I know my social media was

75
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: all about this over the weekend, with people talking about

76
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: how they watched it and it was an incredible feet.

77
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: So the building is made of steel and glass. It's

78
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: smoother than rock, so obviously that provides minimal group for

79
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: this guy. Can you imagine the strength and control he

80
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: has to have in his hands and feet to reposition

81
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: mid climb and just keep going, elevating yourself higher and higher.

82
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: Forget forget how high he was up in the sky for.

83
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: Hundred and one floors, but I'll forget about that.

84
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: And how that would make me throw up all over myself.

85
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: But just imagine and how strong he has to be

86
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: to be able to do that. I'm not talking mentally strong,

87
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking physically strong.

88
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, what did we

89
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: accomplish by doing this?

90
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: Well, he made six figures. Somebody paid him to do it,

91
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: so he made some money.

92
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: Quite the athletic feat
