[@chris_devlog]

Props to Alex for putting up with this guy

[@someoneout-there2165]

I love that he is unkempt and doesn't care what others think. 💖

[@MJCain-ye1uo]

Honnold is one person i can aspire to. Thankyou Honnold!

[@gauthier1129]

OMG his hands..... this man is absolutely perfect

[@imagine9033]

Hahaha the less good a host.... the higher the seat

[@syntaxcaptain]

I love how Alex is wearing approach shoes. Literally all you need.

[@bilaltahir9978]

Which approach shoes does he wear?

[@allen.9]

@@bilaltahir9978 an old pair of sportivas that they stopped making. la sportiva gave him a bunch before they discontinued them and i believe he talks about it in another interview, the one with things he can't live without.

[@sf-ou2fc]

Very surprised at that seating arrangement, where the interviewer is perched above the interviewee and literally "talks down" to him. Alex obviously "looks up" to Rick a lot :)

[@jamescampbell2521]

Ya, I find that a bit weird.

[@SHAKE-S-PIERRE]

Colin does it too

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

Small-man syndrome. 💯

[@Stop_Elitists_Wars]

Alex, brains & talent

[@annamelanie5151]

Does this interviewer ask golfers why they hit a little hard ball around huge grass fields, trying to make them roll into 18 little holes in the ground?

[@connor6002]

Unless those golf balls are filled with nitroglycerin, then I think it makes absolute sense why you'd ask an extreme sport athlete why they risk their body and their life for what they do rather than just going into safer competition climbing or a safer sport.

[@NemohHoes]

The greatest athletic acchievement of all time

[@seantiz]

Awesome in every way.

[@kevinmartin2961]

You talk too quickly after he's finished an answer

[@guluchak]

Terrible interviewing. Absolutely horrible!

[@santhoshgrm]

At 3:06 this sounds like agent Smith in the "Matrix" refers to Anderson.. why, why do you do this Alex?... Why??

[@living4adrenaline]

Why though!?

[@spacewitchvulcan]

This guy's interviewing skills are horrendous!

[@jonathanhaney5673]

No literally tho, he probably makes good money too

[@RockHudrock]

Alex Is an amazing specimen of humanity! 🇺🇸

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Intense manicures

[@attilaboros13]

10 mm.. I mean, a quarter inch

[@Omlet221]

0:39 Well bugs have tiny hands so I guess it makes sense how they can pretty much hang upside down

[@maximusaugustus6823]

Why the "bleep" host sits too high?

[@leepek3575]

If he sands his hands thats mean he must repeat and repeat is every time, cause skin grows. clever...

[@hoshvilson6902]

If you don't sand down the skin and it becomes too thick, then it will snag on protruding points of the rock, creating a giant wound, causing you to have to start from scratch with building your callous. The act of sanding down the skin just makes your skin adapt to regenerating more quickly.

[@jakem.1587]

Soo because they're body's have adapted to the environment they live in mean they've "evolved" differently. 🤔

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

0:50 Alex: [describes kindergarten-level example of relativity] Idiot: "Wow, NO KIDDING?!" 🤦‍♂

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

Alex: [is among the most accomplished climbers in history] Interviewer: "...do you workout at all?" Unreal how bad this guy is at his job. lol 🤦‍♂
