Speaker 1: Kiss at m l A is number one hit music station.

Speaker 1: You ever see someone on TV and go, wow, that

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: guy is just like me? Uh yeah, sure. So I

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: have gotten to understand and no a little bit about

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: Anders Hoffman, and I'm nothing like this guy. I'm nothing

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: like this guy. The stuff that he the endurance, it

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: he has things he can handle so unmeat that I'm

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: desperate ticket to know more about him. And he's joining

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: us now. Anders, good morning, How are you? Good morning,

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: Ryan saying I'm great, Thank you. So Anders is a

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: an accomplished athlete. He completed the first ever long distance

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: triathlon in Antarctica. So what did that consist of? Well,

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: that consists of we're talking to miles in the US.

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: So that's a two point four mile swim, a hundred

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: and twelve mile bike part if I'm not mistaken, and

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: then a marathon, which I think is around twenty four miles.

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: But in what temperatures? In the very cold temperatures obviously

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: in in the well subs subserde degrees, Oh my goodness. Yeah,

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: so pretty much in frozen water. So it's an iron

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: man traffic in Antarctica. And what do you do to

23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: mentally prepare for those kinds of conditions? Um? That is

24
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: that that is was very difficult for me. Even though

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm from a cold country in Denmark, it wasn't cold

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: enough to train probably for this. So I had to

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: go to the pretty much the most extreme, some of

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: the most extreme regions in the world. I went to

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Greenland Rando Polo serc a marathon. There, I went to

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: sell But which is pretty much the North Pole that

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: the most northern tracks and ever completed a half Iceman

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: and then I went to Iceland and Norway from for

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: for some cold swimming and biking and run. Why the torture,

34
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not it's adrenaline. I guess what am I doing?

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: Um So ironically I'm not I'm not a big fan.

36
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't love to call it all. But I had

37
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: this idea of doing something that that had never been

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: done before within the sport of traff And the first

39
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: that he I had was with an iron man business

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: traff and had been completed in all continents, and this

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: was in two thousands seventeen. So I was pretty late

42
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: to the Trent and the only continent remaining was was

43
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: the South Pole Anarctica. And then, you know, it was

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: this you know, crazy idea, of course, and I started

45
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: to speak to people about it, and then then people

46
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: obviously told me that, you know, it was impossible to

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: swim that fire and ice water, that I would die

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: of hypothermia, that I couldn't bike in an Arctica. I've

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: never been to an Arctica before, and I'd own it

50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: done one iron Man before, so you know, I was

51
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: just an amateur, so why would I be able to

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: do this? And and what it sort of maybe realized

53
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: was that the crazy ideas I've had earlier in my

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: life as a teenager was to become a professional soccer player.

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: In my early twenties was to start own business. You know,

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: I've been told throughout that you know, I wasn't the

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: most talented football player, so that wasn't realistic. And before

58
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: you need to starting my own business, I had to

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, go to business school and doing all these things.

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: And I realized that, you know, the people telling me

61
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: I couldn't do the the Iceman, they had no experience

62
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: whatsoever within this, so they didn't actually have the foundation

63
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: of knowing whether this was possible. Yeah, And and that

64
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: was the sort of realized agent saying, oftentimes people will

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: tell you, tell us what we can, I cannot do

66
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: with actually without having the experience of found days and

67
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: of knowing what was possible. And that became the purpose

68
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: and drive behind it, to show that limitations are really

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: only perceptions. You know, our own, other people's, society's perspectives,

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: but what is possible? So I wanted to show that

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: we can do more than than other people think it's possible.

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: Andrews Hoffman completed this traffling in Antarctica and as also

73
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: featured in the documentary called Project Iceman, which opens in

74
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: the summer. I was thinking about you last night. I

75
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: only sound funny, but I was thinking about you last

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: night as I was getting ready to go to bed,

77
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, Okay, I have before bed,

78
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: gotten in an ice bath before, and I can barely

79
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: get through three minutes of an ice bath to think

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: about what you did and the you know, the volume

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: of all of that in the sub zero cold, it's

82
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: pretty insane. Do you have are you in a relationship?

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: Is there anybody in your life impressed by this. I'm

84
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: not in a relationship now. This is a great thing

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: to be single on your resume. This impressively pretty cool.

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: How long did it take you to do the two

87
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: and a half miles. It took me one hour in

88
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: ten minutes, so imagine that one hour and ten minutes

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: in the co Yeah, you're pretty frozen after that. Probably,

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: what's your experience of my life? What's next for you?

91
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: What's next to me? That's that's a good question. What's

92
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: next to me is actually pursuing my chapter beam off

93
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: of becoming professional soccer player. WHOA right, Well, it sounds

101
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,520

104
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: talking about the ice bath? When you say do it.

105
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of it's that we've talked about before.

109
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: like power strength termination. I guess this is my announcement

00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: to say I will not be doing it. Iron Man.
