Joe Rogan left baffled after Mike Perry shares an ice bath story

During a recent episode of the ‘JRE MMA Show’, former UFC star Mike Perry shared a story about a Russian couple making a hole in the ice to take a cold plunge. However, things went horribly wrong. Perry said, “A couple was doing ice baths in winter in Russia. They dug a hole in the ice and the wife jumps in the f**ing hole and the current took her under the f**ing ice.” He further mentioned that the current was so strong that the wife got swept away and her husband couldn’t save her. Perry added, “She died. She’s gone. They lost her.”

Joe Rogan was shocked to learn about that incident, and looked like he went into an emotional shock. He said, “Oh my God! Oh my God! They didn’t know it was a raging river? Oh my God! Can you f***ing imagine the horror?” Let us take a look at what the fans had to say about it.

• OH GOODDDD NOT THE ICEBATHS!” Seriously though understandable reaction thats a horrible way to go.
• The most terrible part about that video are the children screaming and crying while the husband tries to go under but can’t because there’s too much stream
• I had the same reaction watching the clip. Not just a horrible way to die, but in front of your husband and kids
• That video was f***ing crazy. She instantly disappeared
• The most gnarly thing about the video was her kids recording it, screaming and crying in agony watching their mother drift away
• That’s horrible. I can’t imagine. Buuuut…. That wasn’t very smart.
• Wait till he hears about the submarine

However, one fan believes that the couple should not have tried doing that. It was not a very good idea. On the other hand, one fan claims that the story about the submarine that imploded near the wreckage of Titanic would shock Joe Rogan even more.
