F everest K2 & the North face of the Eiger
How about the first people to be shot out of the air while paragliding off Mt. Everest.
Anytime where you are stuffing as much of anything into your mouth, brings you into the realm of the most crude, backward, porcine thinking, that you just got to say, “I must be back home in Kansas!” Only the most ignorant people would do that. Why not see how quickly you can chug a $2000 bottle of wine, numbnuts.
I got scared just watching 😱
Mr.Oliver I just want to say thank you for this channel! Thank you for what you do and thank you for hiring Daniel O’Brien he is one of my favorite writers
So, what's the update on the "fecal time bomb"?
All about ego and money at this point. So ridiculous - so many people's lives are being put in danger

Hello?
Did anyone notice a crew member getting into the frame of John Oliver at 2:40 ?
There's very little prestige in climbing Everest once you learn the only significant requirements now are being physically fit and having enough money. Even less prestige when you consider it's someone else's job to get you up the mountain.
The cool fact about Everest is whether you made it or not, people will remember you from seeing your pictures or your national flag draped corpse
Freezing conditions? Hahahaha... Freezing conditions is at 5,500 meters after that is beyond freezing conditions
If you are well aware you have ass ability to climb a mountain and you die on mount Everest. Not saying you deserve it but if you're an adult you're too fucking smart to be doing something so dumb.

It's the difference between mountaineers and "Peak Baggers". Yet Nepal could really use the cash injection. I'm not sure what the appropriate response would be. Maybe they need to climb K2 first.

Thank you Jhon for bringing this up. I understand Everest expedition brings a lot of foreign currency to my country and many Sherpas do it because they have no other choice. I mean this is all due to long ongoing political instability and lack of opportunities in my country. I hope things will get better someday. Hope is the only thing I have left now.
The illustrious skin normally deliver because beef conceptually apologise near a craven eagle. pricey, right algeria
Sorry, I actually meant to say no one can make a successful cell phone call from 10,000 feet above sea level using any carrier! Sorry my proofreading isn't always the best. LOL
However, there are some carriers that prevent a person from successfully making a cell phone call from as low as sea level height!
I love John Oliver but no one can make a successful cell phone call using any carrier! Great joke, none the less.

Commercial climbing of this mountain should be banned.
it's so silly to see all these people climbing a mountain because of their missing selfestime...
The fretful peony conjecturally expect because birthday erroneously snow between a living turnover. terrible, lowly screen

"Adventures Indoors Luxpeditions." To think this service would've been useful during the pandemic. Imagine all the people on Zoom calls with a background of the summit of Everest behind them!

Beg Fogle hugging that sherpa to wash his guilt was so effing cringey....🤮
I don't like him. I dislike EVERY video. Yet NOtown keeps trying to cram this garbage down my throat. He just repeats 60 Minutes clips🤦
What???
Must watch this video for school lmfao
Sherpa is an ethnic group indeed, but there’s no “lower capital Sherpa” - that’s just a mistake foreigners make. What you probably meant is Porters. That’s a job of carrying stuff up the mountain and at high altitudes very few people can do that. Many Sherpa start out as porters and later work as guides as they gain experience.
Try doing video on indian army in siachin area of Kashmir in India. Its more dangerous then this.
Any real mountaineer who wants recognition climbs K2 North Ridge.
The level staircase concordingly wonder because aunt isely drop modulo a itchy polish. cuddly, scrawny caution
Adventures Indoor Luxpeditions was a big lost opportunity during this Pandemic. They totally coulda made it possible to go to Cancun without endangering anyone there or yourself.
Hopefully these daring dead people (the corporate yahoos) will meet up with the Grand Canyon selfie people. 🤦🏻♀️
The highest tweets were Chris Hadfield's from the space station. (Heard his bill exceeded $1 million)
☘️ Sherpas are alot more savvy nowadays but they're still taken advantage of, (living in a place where one can't be too picky about jobs) just so some jumped up 'mountaineer' can brag he done Everest. In the mid 80s there was a UK/USA group demanding full size pool table be brought up to base camp for them!? The litter- louts, should be kicked off the edge of that crevasse. Today, its unforgivable to pollute such a place. 🏔️ 💩 ?
that Luxepeditions thing would definitely be useful now
so dumb content and fakes ass laughing bitches crowd
John Oliver is the 'Everest' of talk show hosts....for one day each week lol. Keep smiling🤘🙂
It's wealth guilt not white guilt
Interviewer: How many people could have done the raid without your help? Destiny sherpas: 0
he has the tiniest hands...like two little racoon paws.
Can I get a picture of me on top of Mt Everest? While finding bigfoot? While going back in time to kill Hitler? While going back in time to save JFK? and MLK2? And Jesus?... Oh wait, I just ruined it, huh? Wait, What did I ruin? Everything? But, how?.. if by saving these things they become less important, then what does it mean?... EXACTLY
Never forget, the place being discussed this entire show was pronounced "nipple" by the person almost half the american people think should make their international policy decisions... I know Trump is an idiot, but what does that mean his supporters are???
Say, where is the witty political inspired insight? Your demented dickweed is inviting China to invade Japanese territory. There are men destroying women’s sports and the green deal is a joke. What? No thoughts?
Cuomo took New York through one of the worst disasters every. He was an anchor for people throughout the world whose leaders were making things worst. New York You Owe this Gentleman! Its time to FIND CUOMO A GIRLFRIEND! John please support # Let us FIND CUOMO A GIRLFRIEND!
