[@robjeezy5000]

I met Alex a few years ago and he’s exactly the same as this interview. He’s the most chill person with a dry sense of humor. He’s super humble and didn’t talk down to me when we chatted climbing.

[@1PeakMindset]

I met him recently while on the summit of Mt. Charleston out here in Vegas and he was cool AF. I told him how I’d imagined running into out there eventually and how stoked I was to literally do just that! He let me snap a pic with him and then we both split in opposite directions. It was a moment I won’t forget.

[@Daniel52289]

Five years from now we'll learn that the whole point of this Podcast was for Tosh to remove clutter from his house and no other reason. And we'll all be here to applaud him for succeeding.

@@TroyButtsoupBarnes42 Maybe? I don't know. Have to consider all demographics though. Honnold's audience is definitely a lot younger than Horton's! Add to that, Horton was part of a sustained marketing push for over a decade. Alex Honnold seems to just go with the flow and not even want the attention (in a good way). It'd be hard to guess

[@SpicyNuggs402]

Honnold is the man. I will watch just about anything with him appearing in it. He's just so chill and down the earth and knowledgeable without being arrogant.

[@motivationtheoryrunning]

I loved every second of this I could probably listen to four hours of this. But it definitely was a sprint. Alex sounds like the coolest guy to hang out with and just chat… He handled being machine gunned with questions without even acting irritated at all.

[@wilhuston6969]

Is this a generational thing? Most people in my age group like them. I’m thinking younger generations don’t like them but to be fair I probably wouldn’t like them based off their last couple of albums. I like stuff off their greatest hits and The Beautiful Day album. The newer stuff is mediocre.

[@kurtkish6970]

I liked U2 a LONG time ago. I loved their first 3 albums A LOT. I liked their 4th “Unforgettable Fire” (produced by Brian Eno 👍🏻). From Joshua Tree on they were a boring stadium Pop band.
