Joe Rogan freaks out about kids climbing skyscrapers barefoot
During his recent conversation with stunt performer and celebrity Steve-O, Joe Rogan freaked out about young individuals climbing skyscrapers barefoot.
On episode 1900 of the JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) podcast, released on November 17th, Rogan spoke to Steve-O regarding several topics.
Steve-O notably harkened back to a JRE episode from a few years back wherein Joe Rogan flipped out after watching youngsters climb skyscrapers. Steve-O suggested that the skyscraper-climbing daredevils are parkour enthusiasts and shouldn't be criticized for deciding to test their skills.

Joe Rogan seemingly disagreed with Steve-O and pointed out that some of the daredevils who don't use safety equipment end up falling to their death.
The UFC commentator and MMA personality further opined that they also endanger the lives of others. He indicated that a skyscraper climber who fails at their stunt and falls off could end up hitting a baby carriage or something/someone else and put innocent lives at risk.

During Joe Rogan's conversation with Steve-O, JRE producer Jamie Vernon aka Young Jamie pulled up a video of a skyscraper climber. Rogan hilariously responded by wincing and stating:
"Don't do it, Jamie, you son of a b**ch. Jesus Christ! This guy's barefoot, climbing a f**king building. Whoo! That is so wild that people do that sh**. Don't do it, Jamie. Don't -- My hands are sweating. Feel my hands. How sweaty is that?"

When Joe Rogan shared a chilling video of daredevils climbing a skyscraper without safety equipment
Rogan, a longtime martial arts practitioner and former Taekwondo athlete, often puts forth social media posts featuring extreme acts of athleticism. In May of this year, he took to Instagram and shared a video of a couple of skyscraper-climbing daredevils who were scaling the structure without safety equipment. Rogan attached a statement to the Instagram post, which read as follows:
“F**k everything about this. Repost: @leo.urban Without safety equipment and barefoot 🦶 With the bro @alexis.landot 🦾 #barefoot #brother #equipment #dangerous #climbing #amazing”
MMA analyst and former fighter Robin Black chimed in with a comment that emphasized how risky the stunt was. Black wrote:
“Humans are capable of extraordinary things. But this is extraordinarily bananas.”
Moreover, former UFC lightweight star Josh Thomson alluded to the fact that people usually criticize professional fighters for partaking in a high-risk profession. 'The Punk' insinuated that the risk involved in fighting pales in comparison to skyscraper-climbing sans safety gear. Thomson commented:
“And people think us fighters are crazy. This sh** is insane.”
