This guy interviewing completely sucks! He needs to get back to his telemarketing day job. Sorry that such great people like Dean and Steph had to akwardly sit across from this guy and suffer for so long.

[Jolinator]

whats slacklining, goddam man at least read a book before you interview people of this caliber, seriously awkward interview.

[lemonsnlimes333]

The interviewer!!!!!

[Dubbtective]

Dean you should have walked away..that guy was a douche....

white muslim rasta?

@punchpixie Who the hell is this DEAN POTTER??  Sounds like a douche to me.... and who gives a crap about "climbing" anyway? Waste of fuckin time..

[punchpixie]

@wilsocn You are an idiot, and obviously you don't know many climbers. Climbers (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than "90%", come from all walks of life....) are not "all hippies".

[punchpixie]

@swimana Wrong. This idiot interviewer does nothing but suck up from the word go.... he alternates between being horribly condescending to idiotically pandering....all while exhibiting a complete laziness in not learning a single thing about these TWO remarkable people he had the good fortune to have sitting in front of him. Also? He COMPLETELY IGNORES STEPH DAVIS during the "questioning" and she is an extraordinarily articulate person whose accomplishments are as remarkable as Dean's. Dumbass

This guy Waylon is a complete idiot, and his online website/magazine reflects that.

1. He doesn't ask Steph Davis a single question, as if she is just Dean Potter's wife and only up on the stage as a courtesy. Anyone who knows about Dean and Steph knows that they are both once-in-a-generation people, sort of like real life Jedi. For this idiot to completely ignore her is pathetic.

2. As everyone else noted, his questions to Dean are STOOOPID. This guy is a total putz, as is elephantjournal.

@ryryryan85 shuttup dude, i'm sure you would be a lamer interviewer. dude is trying.

[donlitos]

Waylon Lewis you should be ashamed of yourself! You are the worst excuse for a journalist I have ever seen in my life. Asking Dean Potter "what is a slack line" is like asking Michael Jordan what is a 'slam dunk'? You stupid idiot.

Steph has such a great smile & laugh. Dean was really patient with this moron.
