Episode Summary

After previously appearing on the show to talk about his online book, Alchem the Alchemist, Christopher Simmons once again drops in - this time to turn the tables and interview Mike and Patrick about an hour they spent in sensory deprivation/isolation/floatation tanks (depending on your preferred terminology). Does floating in warm saltwater cutoff from outside stimuli really provide a rejuvenating or otherwise worthwhile experience? Does sensory deprivation make you feel like you are loosing your mind? Most importantly, is it worth fifty bucks? A very relaxed pair of hosts seems to think that it may indeed be so, even as their jokes go All Downhill.
