Jack Carr (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

And we're up.

Jack Carr (0:13)

We are up.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

In the blood.

Jack Carr (0:15)

In the blood.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

You are, without a doubt, within the last 20 years of my life, I've read more of your fiction than anybody else has.

Jack Carr (0:23)

Dude, thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

It's a fact.

Jack Carr (0:26)

I am honored.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

It's kind of a lie, because I'm not reading it, I'm listening.

Jack Carr (0:30)

I know, but it's kind of interchangeable today.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Yes, it's sort of. But when I say John L. Rawlings gave me a hard time.

Jack Carr (0:36)

They do.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

He goes, how you read it when you're just listening? He's right.

Jack Carr (0:39)

Yeah, it's listening.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Reading is harder than listening. But I don't have that time. For me, it's like, I've finished your books in the sauna and on the commute to work.

Jack Carr (0:48)

I'm gonna try my best to get that out of my head.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

I'm wearing underwear.

It's after training, it's very manly. It's very manly, don't worry. People think of the sauna as like a leisure activity, but the way I do it is pretty rough. I do it after training and I do it at 189 degrees and I do it for 25 minutes. It's hard.

Jack Carr (1:07)

We're putting one of those in because of you and a bunch of other people that have talked about the benefits of doing that. So one's going in at the new house.

Do you go between that and the cold thing? The cold bath?

Joe Rogan (1:19)

Yeah, I go back and forth. It's so easy once you go in the cold thing and then go back in 189 degrees. It's so easy.

So I wind up doing, I usually do about 20 minutes in the hot until I can't take it anymore. And then I jump in the cold and then I do three minutes in the cold and then I could do another 15, 20 minutes easy in the hot before I start getting hot again. Just because your body is so cold.

Jack Carr (1:43)

I know, it sounds not healthy though, because it sounds like things are going from open to closed and like, I don't know.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Builds resilience.

Jack Carr (1:49)

It seems like if I got one of those, because we're definitely doing the hot one. It's going to have its nice view over the mountains and everything. And then I'm thinking about putting in the cold tub and maybe, but I think it would just be almost for looks, because I'd do it once and say, that was horrible. I'm not doing that again. Why would one do that themselves?

Joe Rogan (2:04)

It's not that bad.

It's not. It's not that bad. It's good. It's good for you.

Jack Carr (2:09)

And you feel good.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Oh yeah, I love it. I love it.

Jack Carr (2:12)

I needed one this morning, because my light got delayed last night. So I was in at like 3.3 in the morning and then up for interviews, because the book just came out. And I was actually thinking about that. I was going to get in the cold shower. I'm going to turn it on.

And when I got in that shower, there was no cold water in the house.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

It's hot out. Once it's hot out in Texas, the water's warm.

But we're having one installed here. It'll be here at the end of the month.

Jack Carr (2:30)

The cold or the hot?

Joe Rogan (2:31)

The cold and the hot. We'll have one back to back next to each other. I didn't take you next door.

Jack Carr (2:35)

Let's check it out.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

Oh, I have a crazy, afterwards I'll show you the gym. But we have, at the house, I have a barrel sauna right next to the cold plunge, and it's the best. It's just going back and forth. It's awesome. But Cam Hain says that the way to do the cold is you do the cold and then let your body heat up naturally.

And that is the best way to get the most out of the cold.

Jack Carr (2:57)

That sounds more healthy than just going back and forth between the two. I don't know.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

It's hard. Last time I did last night, I went out last night, and so before me and the wife went out, I got in the cold plunge for like three minutes, and then it took hours before I felt warm enough. I was in the car freezing my ass off, and she's like, oh my god, it's so hot. And she's turned the AC up, I'm like, shit.
