    I mean... There was a behind the bastards series on the Iceman: https://open.spotify.com/episode/46v0Yz2qu603DLnX8RVcfS

    And even among subjects of that show I'd give him a "top 5 worst fathers", which really is an achievement in poor parenting

    > According to Hof, he was not delusional, ‘if you see wat the Wim Hof Method has accomplished in the world.’ ‘That’s bigger than de Volkskrant and the Netherlands.’

    There’s no better way to undermine your own point.

    I'm almost always skeptical of all this shiny persons out everybody is excited about. Most often they have a lot of corpses in the cellar.

    Can someone clean up the title? "'The Iceman' Wim Hof's family suffered domestic voilence."

    I noticed that first Vice video Wim had a strange interaction with his son, normalising strange interactions, jokingly calling his son the biggest bastard he'd known. Seemed odd to me.
