Opie Raqio Podcast #110 - The Float Place - 1 hr 15 min (for real this time)
35 2019-06-26 by leedsjr
Opie is in Patchogue to go to the Float Place.
He does his intro walking backwards and is very proud of this for some reason.
The owner, Tom, mentions he learned about floating from Joe Rogan. Opie mentions they used to be friends.
Opie talks to a couple of people who have already floated. They say it was cool and they weren't scared. Tom says that it is because it is a nice big room and there is a door you can go in an out of and a light you can turn on and off. I am not making this up.
Opie asks if it is like scuba diving. No mention of underwater hand to hand combat.
Everyone is barefoot for some reason. Opie doesn't want to take his shoes off because one of his toes looks like a Frito chip.
Opie asks Tom to walk us through floating. It is 200 gallons of water and 1000 pounds of epsom salt. Opie is amazed by this and wants to know how many bags that is.
Opie asks if the salt content is similar to the ocean. Then he wants to know how they prevent people from peeing in there Tom replies they have an excellent filtration system and everyone showers before they go in.
Opie asks for a weirdo story. One lady made a mess in one of the rooms and never cam back.
Tom says it is important to float for 90 minutes instead of 60.
Opie asks what to expect. Tom says to expect to float.
Tom also has a podcast.
Sometimes Opie sees thing when he meditates that he can't explain. Shapes and colors and things.
We listen to Opie piss before he showers and floats.
Tom's wife left him on Christmas Eve.
Opie describes getting undressed. We listen to him shower. He tells us what parts he is washing.
He finally gets in the tank. The podcast will resume when he's done. There are still 33 minutes left.
Opie is done floating. He says Wow. The 90 minutes went fast.
He couldn't tell the difference between his eyes open or closed.
When you are floating, you get the sensation that you are floating.
At one point, he stretched his arms out to his sides, and that was amazing.
Time to talk to Tom about his experience.
This floating is different than floating in the ocean or a pool.
He closed his eye for a while. Then he opened them.
Tom and Opie continue to babble about floating.
Opie: "Some people say that dreams are the language of the soul. Imagine that!" He has to do some more research on that.
They have a clock with no hands that just says "Now", and for some reason Opie says "The power of NOW." and decides that is a good place to end the podcast.
He says he is coming back to do another episode with the Cuban.

No crime stats? Why bother.

Some excellent field journalism on how many bags of Epsom salt make 1000lbs
1 tjdon 2019-06-26
Epsom salts are white, libtard.
1 Phkna1 2019-06-26
I was wondering how the blacks factor in

Ya don't say.

This is the kind of keen insight you just can't get anywhere else.

I hate Opie so much.
1 dom6502 2019-06-26
What an abomination
1 leedsjr 2019-06-26
In a way, that would be better. It's not even compelling in an awful way. It's just nothing. It is Opie's audio equivalent of a FaceBook post.

This is both hilarious and a prime example of why I hate Opie
1 throwawizzlemahnizzl 2019-06-26
Cubans are great floaters
1 hulkanator 2019-06-26
Since you heard Opie peeing, does that count as observing him in the bathroom? I think you just got fired, brothaman!
1 hulkanator 2019-06-26
The salt water can't be good for the Cuban's hat collection.

I work in patchogue.
I had a a good day at work. It must have been because I experienced the greatness of the Opster through osmosis.
Brother man, brother man.
