Iceman Guinness World Record broken. What does Wim Hof think? | #AskWim

What is my favorite type of ice cream?

It is I scream, you scream, we all scream!

Yeah!

My favorite type of ice cream would be...

A nice...

A nice chocolate vanilla.

Yes.

Yes!

Big one.

You know?

I found it crazy, just recently...

There was a place where I got some ice cream and it was big like this.

You know the cone thing?

That with a lot of ice on top.

It was ridiculously big.

I liked it.

When is the last time I had a cold?

Ehm...

It must be amnesia because I don’t know.

It’s been a very long time ago.

I go to the cold.

Do you know what it is?

If you don’t go to the cold, the cold will come to you.

So it hasn't come for a long time.

Because I always go!

You see what I mean?

To prevent catching a cold,

The flu and and kinds of things you can catch in the winter which are related to the cold.

You better take the cold showers. You go into the cold.

And it will never come to you.

You go...

over there.

So I don't know.

The cold,

I always go.

That’s what I know.

Do I sometimes get a brain freeze from eating ice cream?

For example when I take it in two bites.

Yes!

Then I see it as an exercise to make it go away fast.

But yes, I can get a brain freeze.

And my body works you know?

I’m not immune to the cold.

I just know how to handle it better.

Because I’ve been exercising.

It’s like a soccer player.

Are you able to prevent a ball coming to your head?

Because you don’t know.

Yes!

But he’s probably able to handle it better.

Because he can relate to it as a 'header'.

Something like that you know?

So yes, a brain freeze is something I can get.

But I can make it go away quite fast.

Can I also handle extreme heat?

Absolutely. I also can handle heat.

Like during a desert run without water.

I did that and had a great time.

It takes determination and mastery of your own mind.

If you are determined to do something,

You are able,

To take on the stress coming from the heat,

cold,

emotional stress, biological stress.

At the end it is all stress.

And temperature is stress.

So if you learn to handle the cold,

you learn to handle the temperature stress,

which also is the temperature stress when there is heat.

So yes.

Yes.

I’m able to handle heat as well.

Do I plan on beating the recently broken record for ice endurance...

fully immersed…

It’s a...

Hey!

Zina!

Zina!

Zina!

She doesn’t listen.

Ok!

Do I plan on breaking the record again which has been broken recently.

The being fully immersed in ice up till your neck.

I can if I would try.

And if I want.

Because yeah, I’m thinking about it but...

it’s no use to me anymore

Let other people break the records.

I’m into breaking records with groups of people

I’m into changing current science.

It has served its purpose.

And my biggest goal is to show scientifically,

that we are able to do so much more than stated,

scientifically,

and I think that’s way more important.

All the records have served the purpose.

Now I’m into the science.

And I do my ice endurance all the time.

Because it is a healthy and strong thing to do.

I will keep on doing it until I’m no longer here.

Hey guys, thank you very much for the questions.

Love to you!
