Joe Rogan paid his daughter and her friends $1000 per minute to attempt extreme challenge

Joe Rogan has revealed that he once have his daughter and her friends $1000 for every minute they lasted doing an extreme challenge.

As well as hosting his massively successful 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast and working as a commentator and pundit for the UFC, Rogan made his name as the host of the popular American stunt/dare game show Fear Factor.

The television series, which ran from 2001 to 2006, saw contestants compete against each other in a variety of stunts and challenges for a grand prize, usually around $50,000 (£36,737).

Since the show's cancellation, it's clear that Rogan's love for extreme challenges has lived on, as he is regularly seen asking his podcast guests to take part in various challenges or bets with him.

And in one episode, the 57-year-old even revealed that he once offered his daughter and her friends $1000 (£734) for every minute they could compete in a challenge.

In one episode, Rogan revealed that he once offered his 11-year-old daughter and her friends the money for every minute they lasted in his cold plunge pool.

The cold plunge, which has become popular amongst athletes and fitness influencers, involved briefly submerging your body in extremely cold water, typically between 10-15°C, to enhance recovery, improve mood, and boost alertness.

Of course for Rogan, putting his daughter and her friends through the cold plunge was simply for a bit of fun and to laugh at them struggling to make it through even 60 seconds in the pool.

Speaking on the podcast, Rogan explained: "I paid my daughter and her friends $1000 for every minute they can go in there for. 11 year olds freezing their a** off trying to get a thousand bucks.

"I peeled off 10 crisp hundreds and they were laughing, giggling and the parents were like' what are you doing?!' it's fine! It's fun, everybody had a good time, I did it for fun."

In another episode : "I gave three kids a thousand bucks and the parents were like 'what the f***!' but they earned it, I just wanted to show them that they could do it.

"These kids were so pumped, for them that's a hard thing to do and I'm showing them that they can do this very difficult thing."
