GMMore 443: Our Experience Inside the Sensory Deprivation Tank

double pop and house moving my mouth Brett yeah well but we were both going like this oh yeah I don’t know I’m I know you Indian I being the puppeteer I’ll do it yeah I thought these when you do your hands that was me doing my hand that’s wrong Yeah right thanks the arms move well I’m proud to say that I don’t know the mechanics of marioneta ng I also don’t know who the marionette is is that the puppet or the puppeteer I saw was right link is Rhett marionette so we were right okay let’s talk about what it was that we liked and we can do it anything any way we want to do it let’s talk about what it was like inside the chamber because there were no cameras our audio right on the video you got a little bit of the debriefing process but I the mind set this what happens into your mind and your body inside that thing I think it’s worth just talking about it you know let’s just kind of go there because it was an experience it’s very difficult to put into words or just encapsulate in a little sentence experiencing nothing is really something I think that is what he should have all the t-shirt first shouldn’t be prepare to evolve it should be it’s I don’t think that was his t-shirt it was really something was it edge you’re gonna have that slogan because I don’t plan to go into this business but we we are thinking about building one that was the first thing we talked about afterwards yeah uh-huh so let’s go you can share about your experience in the box as I call it first before me but I will say I mean I was legitimately nervous I am NOT claustrophobic I know that there’s plenty of people who are Christy my wife Cindy tends to think that she’s claustrophobic he’s like Christy my wife Cindy well you got a wife okay so when she’s your wife she’s Cindy yeah Christy aka my wife Cindy now Christy tends to believe that she is claustrophobic so she would never hope so she’s not really she just I’m saying I don’t know if she is interesting Cindy’s guns Cindy’s claustrophobic Christy’s not she would not get in there because it is an enclosed environment where you can’t see I know Ben wouldn’t get in one of these things either because he says that he’s claustrophobic he says it is I I have a general skepticism of anyone who says they’re claustrophobic but one thing to note about that for all you claustrophobe is uh you can just push the door open I mean it that that gave me a lot of comfort there was like there was no loss no lock on the outside I mean that would be dumb first of all think about that and it’s a very light door it’s just like you just open it up so anyway but you weren’t apprehensive you were just excited it’s excited I thought it would be cool so anyway I couldn’t believe you fit because right when you get in you lay down and you start floating immediately because it’s such a briny solution but you would drift and like my foot would hit or my hand would hit now I would have to like slowly push off it isn’t that I just Center myself to where nothing will be touching the side of the box right so it you know I’d say the thing is probably 8 feet long based on you know how I fit in there meaning that I fit in there and I wasn’t just a couple of inches from the side you weren’t in the fetal position like a I was completely sleeping on a twin bed I got in and I sat down and as soon as I leaned back the thing I noticed is that boy I’m floating I’m like and I’ve never like been to like the Dead Sea or anything like that were you like and like literally float in a very salty sea you know some people what have you Stevie’s like look at me I have she’s over here and so I don’t know what is I don’t know what is like take you back float on the Dead Sea Sea I know about these things I’ve been on the Internet yeah really the mud that’s great yeah I don’t know if you can you may have seen this on GM’s but I’ve had a wound right here that where I burnt my hand on a campfire and it was open and it opened wound in there sorry II D yeah burned like Hades and but a throat the good burn it’s good for healing it and it it it did it made it difficult to relax which I did a venture anyway so get in there and you’re like I’m like push off of the side and you slowly drift away we’re not touching anything I mean I got in and I leaned back and I was like okay where are the edges oh there’s an edge my right toe hit the edge like oh I’m not quite far enough back so I was like but the water is so calm let me just push off just a little bit and I literally just just a little minor push with the toe and it was like seven seconds later don’t hit my head on the other side like it was that little bit sound your head man booing yeah and it I was like well okay and didn’t hurt it was just like going it was more of a dink and then I was okay let me come back this way a little bit and after that I never hit the side again gonna kind of just settle in the middle now this next thing is it truly is absolutely lightless I mean my eyes were wide open yet I would never get I would forget that they were open no difference at all closed open you couldn’t tell but I closed my because it closes more relaxing I left mine open for I’d say the first five minutes or so and also if you happen to get your face into the sand the salty water you want your eyes closed you mhm but very very soon like five to seven minutes in I was like this is awesome I’m going to enjoy this whole hour I feel like I might be able to go to sleep like you know I’m saying it was like yeah and that’s a weird feeling to have while floating in water well at first for me it was okay I’m actually starting to really relax in my head my head would go back further and sink into the water and that the water level would come right up when I fully relaxed my head will come right up to the edge of my eyes the way that my head is built so I was afraid that the saltwater was going to get him eyes and burn it didn’t until the very end but I did notice that that I was like and I was just like laying there like dead man well I was floating on my back so it wasn’t it didn’t right and mine was good was a good inch a good inch so I didn’t I never felt any like this is not a concern I’m not worried about this stuff getting in my eyes then the next thing for me before I really try to relax and when my eyes are still open I was I started to try to imagine that I was floating in space like Sandra Bullock and I could really have the sensation of my brain could easily convince myself that I was like floating in space like rotating I did experience a little bit of that that’s interesting like a feeling of rotation and disorientation in that way you tried to or you I I tried to like my eyes were open and I was am I was imagining as if I were an astronaut in space but then I started to get very relaxed and sleeping and I started to doze off and that’s what I would like realize that I was like my leg was shaking I’d wake up from my arm would shaker well the thing that I uh oh I’m falling asleep that’s how relaxing I did that thing where I was like I want to make sure that I’m completely relaxed so I’m going to think about a muscle group and I’m going to isolate that muscle group and then make sure it’s relaxed so that’s a yoga technique yes sometimes you don’t realize that you’ve got tension somewhere and there was a point at which I was like okay legs are relaxed arms are relaxed and then I got to my neck and shoulders and I was like they are they’re not completely relaxed and there was a moment where it was like a like a like a release and at that point I was like I’m totally relaxed and then the second thing that happened is I have restless leg syndrome right so anytime I’m laying down to try to take a nap or go to sleep I have to move my legs around and this isn’t the thing if you know if you have restless leg syndrome you know what it is it’s not the thing where you want to constantly Bob your foot up and down it’s a very different sensation it’s like I have to physically move my legs just for a second and it gets better I’m not talking about nervous energy until my restless leg syndrome so get off it nervous energy people who are claiming every time you talk about restless leg syndrome people like oh I’ve got that I have to like bought every time I’m sitting there like studying my knee is just going up and down no different phenomenon guys anyway I’m inside the tank and I feel I think don’t feel the sensation of restless legs at all on any leg and usually it’s concentrated on one leg I was like this is strange I’ve never just fallen to sleep it without moving at all and then the next thing I know I feel like I think I just woke up I don’t know how long I’ve been in here mm-hmm and at that point I started seeing the faces where your eyes open when you saw the faces that you’re making up about I I’m not making anything up they would come from the side and they would settle in front of me and then they would move on and then I opened my eyes and it was continued to happen cuz this is my brain man or was it oh it was in your brain who are these faces does like if I write a sketch artist in here give me that level of detail the more I’ve thought about it the more I realized that the faces were the kinds of faces that you see on playing cards of kings and queens and I think it’s because I said I wanted to see night a night and I don’t think we that’s in the in the video at it but one of the things I did say is that I wanted to see a night no no I wanted to be a night I wanted to like go into Narnia like this might be the closest I ever get to going to Narnia I’ve always you know I read those books and I was like I want to go to Narnia I want to go through the back of the closet and end up in another world and be a king there’s a wardrobe you know well I’m using the American version of the word so then I am so then I when I’m in the sensory deprivation tank I’m thinking well maybe I’ll go to Narnia in here maybe this is my Narnia and I think the closest I got to Narnia was seeing playing cards coming be presented to me and then moved along maybe you realize maybe you’re dreaming it no it was very much a very I was very awake you didn’t see them no you thought you were Sandra Bullock I mean everybody’s got their own thing I thought I was seeing seeing playing cards you thought you were Santa Bullock make each his own maybe I just went looking in the right place I mean once they went over here I looked over there they came back be ready but I did think when the when the music started playing that the music the emails girls aways crashing noise I thought man I’m not ready I’m not ready to come out I could be in here another couple hours easily because I had to get out because at the very end I was so relaxed that my head went to the side and when my head went to the side my left eye filled up with salt water but you know what the problem burnt you know why that happened my head’s not some your head’s not symmetrical that’s what the left sides are heavier you have a heavy side there suck it’s got to be what it is maybe it’s the way you part your hair I mean come on right here this my eggs yeah yeah I should have gone to the right I know but something for some reason is my hair was all gone back in my hair is totally symmetrical so I was like a complete relaxation there was no head turning that was I mean you got you might need to see somebody about them you might need to have your whole head x-ray do you might have like a big piece of bone on one side or something that needs to go say like a growth like a cancer that’s horrible man but I didn’t you said that I want to go back and I want to go in belly-first i’ma hold my breath for 60 no no no with a straw drink some salt water the whole time no good a straw air straw that’s called a snorkel only going with a snorkel and a mask so hidden at its low dead man’s float with a snorkel ooh that’s what’s wrong with it it sleeps scary I’m not gonna do that it’s actually what you do when you snorkel it is yes but if you’re not sleeping good Groot well you’re a symmetrical head you’ll be turning that snorkel right into the water and sucking down saltwater it’s Epsom salt so I would um I would recommend it you know how much he charges $50 for an hour yeah and there’s a there was a woman who he gave her a deal and she slept in there all night I don’t know I mean I would do that $50 for an hour but you said online there’s kids too for building them yourself I’m gonna do there’s a link on our thing what thing I’m on the computer I mean the outline hey my email well they don’t have access to my email we’re gonna put it in the description here’s the deal no we won’t we’ll forget we forget – what what is the link – if you want to make your own sleep deprivation tank we can’t help you I can create one of those just do it with a jam box or a 10 if you go camping with me yeah
