The Joe Rogan Experience.
That's what it is.
Take them up the Himalayas.
Have you done that yet?
Fuck that.
That is not on the menu.
How do you know if you have it in you, if you could do it?
How do you know if you could do it?
You need to do it to prove it.
I don't need to do it to prove it.
You don't need to do it.
I know I'm not interested in it.
I'm not interested in Himalayas.
That's what Ram Dass used to call it.
Yeah.
The Himalayas.
I go, is that how you fucking say this?
Yeah.
I used to have a joke about it.
About the Himalayas?
Yeah.
About how there's dead bodies on the way up there.
And you're like, you have to have such incredible arrogance.
Because they don't, it's so cold that they have to leave the dead bodies.
So as you're walking up this trail to the top of this mountain, hoping to be
one of the people that makes it,
you get to look to the left and the right of you, and there's dead bodies.
It's wild, dude.
There's dead bodies from the 30s.
What?
Yes.
And they're not decomposed because it's super cold?
Frozen solid like a rock, and they look like they're made out of plaster.
They're white.
Pale, white, frozen.
Whoa.
You see their skin.
Like their clothing has been pushed away a little bit by time and worn out.
And you can see part of their skin.
Yeah, there's people that they know who the person is.
Like it's a famous hiker.
Shut up.
And you can walk.
No, I'm not bullshitting at all.
And you can walk.
I was obsessed with this for months.
Yeah.
I was reading stories about hikers.
Look at this.
I hate it.
And they just leave him there?
Look at that one on the far left.
Yep.
They just leave him there.
Look at that one.
Look at his skin.
Bro, pick him up.
Why don't they take these fools out?
You can't because the air is so thin.
It's so dangerous that to bring that guy down would risk people's lives.
Because it's so hard to get up there.
And they just leave him up there.
I think they've removed some of them.
This shit makes me so angry.
Yeah.
You know what else infuriates me?
I was watching a documentary about this guy that free climbing.
Oh, Alex Honnold?
I don't know.
I'm sure you've had him on a few times.
I love that guy.
Shit makes me so fucking mad because I'm like, what are you doing?
It's just, you know, he's like, and then I put my finger in the crevice.
I don't have any back.
It's like.
Not only that, sometimes it gets tricky.
Sometimes it's like I have to lift my foot up and get it to the spot or I'm
gonna die.
I have to lift my foot up over here.
Yeah.
And push off.
Look at that.
What the fuck?
Yeah, this guy.
Bro.
Bro.
What are you doing, homie?
Just what that looks like is just bro.
His little pants are falling down.
His dick's gonna pop.
Oh, he's got dick root.
He's showing dick root.
He's showing some dick root.
Yeah, he's in good shape.
He should.
He looks great.
Cheers.
Super, super, super nice guy.
He's been on the podcast a few times.
I think three times.
I really enjoy talking to him.
So what's his, he just, it gets him excited to do this.
First of all, he loves being in nature and I think there's this accomplishment
thing that
comes with being able to climb something with no ropes.
Cause there's no, if it's just must do, must do for to live.
You know, you see people on those ropes.
Like sometimes they slip and they fall off.
Like would you have slipped and if you felt and fallen off if there was no rope?
Right.
Right.
These fucking crazy assholes.
Climb, is this the guy that got arrested?
This is Alex.
This is wild dude.
Oh, that's him too.
Yeah.
Look at him.
He's got his little chalky hands.
Oh my God.
He's climbing a fucking building.
He's so high.
That's so crazy.
How old is this guy?
He says climbs halfway up New Jersey skyscraper.
Why half?
How's he get back down?
I don't know.
What happens then?
Do you slide down?
My hands are so sweaty.
I know, I know, I know.
I don't like it.
It gives me anxiety.
It gives me diarrhea.
Oh, I don't want to see this.
I know.
Take it away.
Wait, wait, but Joe, have you seen the documentary about the divers who rescue
the children trapped
in the tie?
No, I haven't seen that.
Tommy made me watch it.
He's like, you're going to love it.
It's very inspirational.
I don't like children getting fucked with ever.
Children are trapped inside of a fucking cave.
Yeah.
They find divers who are like hobbyist divers, like a bunch of just old white
guys, like introverts
weirdos who are cave divers.
Yeah.
Cause the military can't hack it.
They don't know how to get in and get these kids out.
It's a fascinating story.
Should I tell you what happens?
Spoiler alerts.
Okay.
I know I probably should have said this before, but okay.
Anyway, yo, yo, yo.
So these are the guys and they find this group of like misfit dudes who love
cave diving
and they can go into these tiny little angles.
I mean, look at the, it's all so narrow.
And like I said, there's the boys trapped.
They got trapped in a storm and they were there for like a month.
Oh, it was awful.
And they had to devise a plan to get these boys out.
And can I tell you how they did it?
Sure.
It's so crazy.
They consulted with this anesthesiologist and they put an apparatus on the boys
faces
to put them under anesthesia and then, and then the professional diver would
take them through
the cave very carefully out over like two or three hours while this kid was
under anesthesia.
Two or three hours.
Oh my God.
I mean, like I'm crying even just fucking remembering it.
Oh my God.
It was horrible.
Look, look, this is the route.
So those are the boys.
Oh my God.
This is insane.
So they had to find a way to be able to carry a kid, safely put a mask on them.
Without the kid freaking out.
Yeah.
Right.
Because if the kid freaks out, it kicks up dust.
Well, it's...
I had Donald Cerrone on my podcast and he was cave diving with this guy and the
guy got
his, his, his tube tangled, his rope tangled and he freaked out and spazzed out
and he filled
the cabin up with silt and he couldn't see anymore and he couldn't figure out
how to get
out.
And see, and he was running out of air and he had to try to, it's the most riveting
story
I've ever heard in my life.
What is this?
I'll write it.
It's Donald Cerrone and he was telling a cave diving story and it's on YouTube.
And when he did it, like, even though I knew he was here, so I knew he was
alive.
Yeah.
He's obviously alive.
He's sitting in front of me telling me the story.
It's about him.
Right.
But as he's telling me, I'm so filled with anxiety that I, I, I can hardly
breathe cause
he's doing an amazing job of telling it.
And the, and the story is terrifying.
And then he's thinking about getting back to his wife and his kid.
Yeah.
You know, that's what he's thinking about.
And while he's trying to find his way out, he's like, I am not going to fucking
quit.
I'm going to get out.
And he finally gets out.
It's like, yo, but he's like, you want to talk about, he's a hardcore
adrenaline junkie.
That's what that is.
Yeah.
I mean, he's a professional cage fighter.
He's at 48 fights in the UFC.
Yeah.
He jumps jet skis and fucking, he's always doing nutty things.
