He thinks he's akin to Amelia Earhart or Ernest Shackleton, and that he's on the frontier of something big, something that will change everything about humanity as we know it. Today on Honestly, Brian Johnson tells us about why he's not going to die. Stay with us. Are you ready to make better sleep your New Year's resolution? Cozy Earth can help you do that.
Cozy Earth sheets, which are made from 100% premium viscose from bamboo, are incredibly soft, breathable, and get even softer with every wash. Good sleep is essential to a nighttime routine. It gives me the energy to tackle the day and feel my best. And right now, I'm not getting that because we have two little kids, but hopefully I'll get back to that soon.
But good sheets help, and Cozy Earth has them. They prioritize quality and care with a 100-night sleep trial. Try their sheets for up to 100 nights, and if you don't love them, return them for a full refund. You can't go wrong.

If you get their post-purchase survey, mention that you heard about Cozy Earth from Honestly with Barry Weiss. Brian Johnson, welcome to Honestly.
Brian Johnson, you are definitely the only person I've ever interviewed for this show where there's a betting page on Polymarket for your nighttime erection lengths. That is a first for me. And that's just sort of one of the hundreds, maybe more, of markers that you measure every day, from your urination speed to brain plaque, and that you've reportedly spent millions of dollars on the process.
All in your quest to, as you put it and as your shirt puts it and as the name of your new Netflix documentary puts it, not to die or don't die. So let's start there. You are the first person I've talked to that's literally given your life over to not dying. Why are you trying so hard not to die?
Okay, so before we get into sort of the more existential questions about whether or not death is something fundamental and core to being human, let's establish for people just how differently you live your life in the pursuit of not dying than most of the rest of us do. I take vitamin D, if I'm lucky, maybe twice a week. How many pills and supplements would you say you take every single day?
Okay. And give us a range and a sense of what these pills are and the variety of what they're doing.
Exercise is a huge part of it. We see you doing a lot of it in this documentary. And then eating. And this is maybe the most hard to fathom for most people. You know, I eat three meals a day plus a few snacks. I think I'm pretty normal in what I do. What do you eat? I mean, we're talking at 1230 EST. So by my schedule, if you're on EST, you've already eaten your dinner.
So just so listeners understand, you eat all of your meals between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m.?
Okay. And what are the foods that you eat and don't eat? When I hear superfoods, I think blueberries and kale, meat, no meat, cheese, eggs. Tell us what you eat in a day.
But that just seems like a very, very aesthetic meal plan for someone that's exercising the amount you do and a man of your size. I would really been thinking about this. Are you hungry most of the time? Are you hungry right now?
Is that painful or pleasurable to you?
Is there a specific aspect to that sort of low level of hunger, frankly, that I think most people listening will never have experienced in their life that is good for longevity?
Explain that.
Well, one thing about sports is there's sort of a way to judge them. And I want to get to that in a little bit because obviously there's been criticisms from some scientists, including in the documentary itself, which I appreciated, about the scientific nature of what you're doing. Before we get there, I just want to establish a little bit more about your daily habits.
I probably, if I'm lucky, drink two glasses of water a day. It's very bad. I'm constantly dehydrated. How much water do you drink?
Of course.
Okay. And I go to sleep around. Well, we have two kids under the age of three. So I'm waking up last night, 3 a.m., 6 a.m. So very, very bad sleep habits. But generally, I go to sleep around midnight, wake up around 7. When do you go to sleep? 8.30 p.m. So why did you discover this 830 to 430 routine? Why is that optimal or optimal for you?
