Bare-feet or shoes? Wim's thoughts in #ThisorThat

Wim Hof picks barefoot over shoes, calling it grounding and a direct connection to earth. He'd rather be badly wounded than chronically ill, values being alive over fame, and chooses touch over taste. An early riser energized by his four-year-old son.

Swing low, sweet cherry-o. Hi guys, this is a This or That episode. Instead of questions and answers, we do this and that, and that's the way we're gonna do it. This or that. Early bird or night owl? I am an early bird, especially with my little one, 4 years old. He's just every morning, boom, there he is, and you got to serve. So I've become an early bird, and I'm actually thankful for him because he makes the day longer and stronger. In the morning, the energy is just bloody strong and clean. And a night owl is very nice, it flies everywhere, and But then the other day in the morning, not nice. I mean, a lot less energy. It's very draining. No, I'm an early bird. Asking questions or answering questions? That's no question at all. I'm just answering. I act upon. Questions, absolutely. So answering questions without a question. Bare feet or shoes? I mean, look at this. I go bare feet. Yes, bare feet, man. That is the greatest. It's like grounding and going out is making connection to the earth itself. You feel directly what is going on in the world.— and your body knows what to do. So if you get shoes, it's boring. You see, you just walk to the car, you're getting in the car, you're getting out of the car. You never have any contact. You go barefoot, barefooted, it's just a discovery. You get back into the moment. That's what it is. If outside it's snowing a little, if I go on the lawn right now, or I go with shoes, man, there's such a difference. We are such thinking people, and when you get barefooted outside, you don't think, you feel. Barefoot. Badly wounded or chronically ill? Badly wounded, because badly wounded is temporary. And chronically ill is a lot of shit all the time. Quality of life low. You don't perceive normal, like consciousness gets down and all that. You're limited, captivated. No. By the way, chronic ill, chronic diseases with the Wim Hof Method? Down! Hey, that makes a new selection, a new choice. But boom! Get recovered. Fame or fortune? Ooh, I got both now. So, but I don't give a shit about fame. I don't give a shit about fortune. I give a shit about life. And I'm fortunate to be famous and all, but I'm most fortunate to be alive. So, fortune. Secretive or open? I'm so open that you don't see my secrets. I'm not secretive. I'm just alive, and I want to get the fullest out of life every moment. So I'm very open, and I love openness, and that's what it is. Secretive is like hiding some shit, and I don't like that. It obstructs my life. I don't want that. I'm open, spontaneous, openness. Touch or taste in the time of Corona? Touch or taste? I think touch. Taste, I mean I don't eat too much. I like the taste of food, of course. But touch is like all day. And taste is appetite. So I go for touch. Absolutely. Okay, guys, thank you for watching this. And if you got more this and that, then get them in. Because I like it. You like it? I like it too. Deal!
