Breath Holding Challenge

can you hold your breath for 22 minutes let's talk about that [Music] good mythical morning last week on song biscuits we announced the end of season 1 of volume 1 of song biscuits and the release of an album that is now available on iTunes 15 songs especially priced as an album so get that link in the description one of the things that has defined our friendship over the years has been your proclivity to want to make up physical challenges whenever hanging out and a lot of times those physical challenges involved water and holding our breath we're on vacation somewhere and I remember we were like in this hot tub and Rhett was like alright this let's let's see you can hold the breath the longest now like you know hold my breath and I'm like ooh and then I come up and like red doesn't come up just just like normal and so I'm just sitting there waiting not having fun just wait for him to come up and celebrate how awesome he held his breath but then he never came up I ever came up a few minutes later didn't come up it's like we're talking minutes like this I mean like I'm starting to get amazed and then I started to get scared and then I'm convinced like I can see him there and I'm like he is dying so I restarted I started shaking him he won't come up and but then he starts fighting me I was like ok he's alive and I just like I'm like I can't believe it he is going forever this times like 10 minutes and then finally Rhett finally comes up and he said and it seemed like you were kind of faking it yeah I was and then I was like I was amazed I was like dude that is long I mean you've always been able to hold your breath a long time but that was unbelievable and then he's like I was sucking air from the from the Jets I guess right now I was sucking air from the put my mouth around the bubble thing I gotta stay there for the rest of my life I for a moment in time I thought you were the most awesome guy on earth but that I was limited in that moment just that moment that's not moan yeah that's not gonna happen too but we are gonna have a breath holding challenge on good mythical morning today but first I want to tell you what we're up against in terms of what people have done in the world not me and a hot tub first of all just a little bit behind the way that breath-holding works and the reason that you people like you and people like me don't like holding our breath because you have a built-in mechanism when you breathe in and you hold your breath you begin to actually get carbon dioxide in your blood and in carbonic acid actually starts to build up and your body's like breathe out breathe out get this right out of me and so most people average lung capacity about 4 to 6 liters but humans have pushed themselves pretty far this guy does he Danish Stig Severinsen he was Danish he holds the record 22 minutes he said it in 2012 does he have one T two minutes but there's a catch why is he sucking in in that picture I don't know 22 minutes but he inhaled pure oxygen for about 20 minutes before he did it the guy who's done it the longest without any assistance which is what we're going to try to do today is a French free diver named Stefan Massoud he did 11 minutes and 35 seconds just unassisted but he used a couple of tricks one trick I think we're gonna be able to use today to try to set good mythical morning records the way this is gonna work is we have a tank of water prepared you're gonna go first which means Linc you are destined to hold the good mythical morning breath holding record for at least however long you can hold your breath and then I'll beat it but then I'll set the new record and then you know we'll see how long that record holds up until you replace his host and then she will beat you oh really yeah you'll be possibly female women have a smaller lung capacity that's probably not gonna happen just Oh beat you all right to the breath hold areum here we are once again in our robes yeah in front of this tank I don't have a good relationship with this tank or the water is that super cold it's it's not even warm it's not gonna be that Pleasant alright so a couple of things before we start do not try this at home we are professional internet tanners we do things like this for your entertainment and we have know that you don't have to we have a scuba certified NOAA right here look anything goes wrong with us he look he's Wow I always recommend having a scuba certified NOAA around I don't know if I want you to help me after seeing you walk through their address like that but I mean if so that happens please feel free to step in okay so you need to step in feel free feel free to step in disrobe now I'm naked okay well that's part of this right we'll do the bar will do that's why they call it free diving blow it up boys oh he's not naked sorry so sorry ladies I'm assuming that the way that you're gonna do this is just okay now pretty well just you just kind of get your water and get used to it then I'm going it's a little cool just get down this kind of squat squat in there a little bit really is really cold yeah I mean once you start putting this much of yourself in it so there are two techniques that the free divers use the number one thing they do is this thing called lung packing you can actually hurt yourself doing that but the thing that we can do that we will do is hyperventilating once you start hyperventilating you're gonna get lightheaded but you're gonna be at the perfect place for you then go for it and then I'm gonna start timing you in link you I'm gonna hold the record you're gonna hold for a while hey listen I may have an off day man I haven't done this and there's no jets in there I think I need to wet myself totally and then come out and then hyperventilate okay sure do whatever you need to okay that did it right it's not that right yeah it's not that bad right oh sorry it's just my canine instinct all right all right how do I hyperventilate you just breathe like a dog okay so you get it like this yeah yeah yeah you try to get as much oxygen in there as possible get lightheaded and right when you feel light-headed now faint and die you will faint if I die I'll grab you man and what I'm definitely lightheaded no that's good I'm like seeing blue yeah you're getting oxygen man listen listen to me if I die I want you to carry on for about a week and then I want you to be like I can't do this out I mean they don't want you to quit but I want you to try for a weakling okay late guys they long for a week I don't want to prove that you can't do it without okay I don't want you just say no all right out of his honor I'm not gonna do it you gotta start the whole process whenever you're ready all right ladies and gentlemen he's under I can attest that he is not breathing air right now he seems to be fully submerged I'm sure you're getting a good shot of this on camera but we're 15 seconds in I missed the first 10 seconds mark I apologize for that not a professional 20 seconds and I got that one just right I have a stopwatch I'm not just that good at counting you were wondering why I was so accurate it's cuz I have a stopwatch and that is 30 seconds ladies and gentleman this right here is what the average human does is not very long I got faith in link I'm gonna predict that he's gonna get a minute and 20 seconds let's see that's 40 seconds the average person would be getting a little uncomfortable right now here we go okay he's not doing well all right 50 seconds if he can make it to a minute then that would just be an amazing feat he would be double average twice as good as an average person and we got to go 58 59 60 that's a minute yeah nothing to be I think that's a personal record it's like clapping for a toddler what it's like I just hold my breath appreciate that one minute hey one minute two seconds man yeah I can hear you the whole time twice as good as $1 person I was hurtin I was hurtin really I don't know something about it's just it's not mammalian it's not mammalian it's not mammalian I am mammalian okay you are all right let's switcheroo oh wow I was drinking water the whole time you're not supposed to do that no no that's bad all right so do you recommend the hyperventilate I mean that's what you always did yeah but I'm gonna get I'm gonna get wet first - I feel like that oh yeah oh yeah go ahead and douse yourself oh he started the hypervenom a goner you got to start yeah how long do you think you can go make a prediction I can do twice as much as you Oh twice the man I'm the world record holder for GMM you are you got to know who you're talking about the world record is the GMM record its GMM world record now hold on say you want like a pep talk or something you can do it you can probably do a little bit more than me like you always have here he goes and look at it he's right there just going under just kind of floating there you are just bring back a lot of memories as a kid looks like alright proving you're pulling 20 seconds lot of them still out of the water his face it's not a can you hear me red okay alright buddy forty seconds mm-hmm a lot of stuff floating in there dead skin cells virus of some sort sure maybe he's asleep it's 56 seconds 57 oh one minute just surpassed me looks like it's easy for him he's cleared his mind of all thoughts I can tell he's thinking of nothing minute thirteen he just looks stupid in there cuz he's there's no thoughts he's in a meditative state 1:22 open your mouth taste some of that debris 130 keep Cena's back out here and I keep thinking I need to sit on it you dare me to sit on it 143 145 now don't just come out at 2 minutes just because you doubled me you got to go as long as you can man this is for the people this is for the mythical beast but don't die on me if you die on me I'm gonna keep doing this without you you just be floating back here 2 minutes 6 seconds are you in that happy place I join you but there's not a lot of room it'd be really awkward in there new me to ride on you back like a humpback whale nod your head if I can get on your back it's just right there it's feel like I can just sit on it 2 minutes 28 seconds can you hear me I'm sure you can't I can hear me that's all that really matters all right nothing like looking at a stopwatch and a guy float in a pool for two and a half minutes this is invigorating 2:45 you broke my record you're bored hope you're not doing any brain damage three minutes do it three minutes come on man you all right wiggle your ear if you're still alive he's still alive do it man the whole Internet's watching man make us proud three minutes twenty you can make it four minutes don't just come up I want to see you
