Joe Rogan (0:17)

Jamie, it's too hot in here, turn the AC up. Crank that bitch, get it down to zero.

My man, what's happening, baby? Welcome back. Dude, you brought notes.

Wim Hof (0:30)

Yeah, just a couple of notes. I don't want to repeat myself since the last time, because-

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Oh, you're the only guest ever in the history of this podcast that has brought notes to make sure they don't repeat themselves.

Wim Hof (0:41)

Yes, this is the first time I do a podcast dislike, or any other interview, I never go programmed or premeditated or prepared, whatsoever. Just jump in, but I think this is much more important.

It's Joe Rogan, man.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

You're the Iceman, man.

Wim Hof (0:59)

Yes, and you're a big window. And I'm still on the mission, trying to get it out to everybody that we are able to do so much more. And, you know, it's all natural what we do. So there is no money attached to it.

And thus, it's a struggle to get it out there. But we get more and more scientific evidence piling up. And I'm here to present new insights.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Well, I think you're winning the struggle, for sure. Because I hear about you all the time. I hear about you all the time from people that have heard about you from my podcast, from people that say, do you know this guy? And I say, yeah, he's been on my podcast. I know him. So the message is getting out, 100%.

Wim Hof (1:43)

Wow, and that's a bio parameter for me. Thanks for sharing that.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

Do you feel it though? Don't you? You must, right?

Wim Hof (1:52)

This morning, I was talking to Tony Robbins.

Oh, shit. And he wants to like cooperate.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

Oh, shit.

Wim Hof (1:58)

Yeah, and now I'm Joe, with Joe again. I mean, those are big names.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

I used to listen to Tony Robbins tapes when I was 20, 20 or 21, when I was a struggling stand up comedian. I used to listen to his, what was it called? Unlimited Power? Is that what it was? It was an audio cassette, and I listened to one of those old school Walkman thing, those big chunky things.

Wim Hof (2:21)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, he's got his goal, charity, to get 100 million meals together this year, and I'm gonna help him there.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

That's great.

What is he doing to that? Just raising money and awareness?

Wim Hof (2:38)

Raising money, and give billionaires, some very powerful people who have very good time, insights in their own stressful lives. And I'm in there to teach them how to handle stress hormone at the deepest in the brain as in the body.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Beautiful. You know, I had a friend of mine who was trying to do a parody on Tony Robbins, so he went and researched him. And he was going to listen to some of his recordings and listen to some of his speeches. And his goal was to find what's stupid about it. And then he started going, God damn, this guy's honest on that. Was it Callan?

Do you remember who it was?

They were talking about it in here. I believe it was Callan. I think he was researching him for something that he was doing. Then along the way, he started realizing, oh, this guy's fucking legit. But he's one of the rare ones. Like almost everyone that's like a professional motivator, then you go behind, you go, okay, well, what do you do?

You know, like, what do you do? You just motivate people? Have you done anything? Like you're telling people they can go do things, but what the fuck have you done? What have you done, sir? And most of them, they don't do shit. You know, they just get together with big seminars and tell people they can do it. You can do it, like, fuck, I can do it now. But you never go, hey, man, what have you done?

You, on the other hand.

Wim Hof (3:58)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:59)

You've done a lot of shit. So that's one thing. When people say, well, that Iceman Hof guy, is he legit? I'm like, bitch, do you have Wikipedia?

Wim Hof (4:08)

Mm-hmm.

Joe Rogan (4:09)

Do you Google?

Wim Hof (4:10)

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

We love the life. And coming January, we're going to do Kill a Manjaro again in 24 hours. Yeah, don't say we.

Joe Rogan (4:19)

Man, you already offered that up to me.

Wim Hof (4:21)
