I was buried alive in New York City in a coffin,
buried alive in a coffin in April, 1999, for a week.
(1) (I lived) there with nothing but water.
And (2) (it ended up) being so much fun
that (3) (I decided) I could pursue doing more of these things.
The next one is (4) (I froze) myself in a block of ice
for three days and three nights in New York City.
That one was way more difficult than I had expected.
The one after that, (5) (I stood) on top of a hundred-foot pillar
for 36 hours.
(6) (I began) to hallucinate so hard
that the buildings that were behind me (7) (started) to look like big animal heads.
So, next (8) (I went) to London.
In London (9) (I lived) in a glass box for 44 days
with nothing but water.
(10) (It was) , for me, one of the most difficult things I'd ever done,
but (11) (it was) also the most beautiful.
There was so many skeptics, especially the press in London,
that (12) (they started) flying cheeseburgers on helicopters around my box to tempt me.
(Laughter)
So, (13) (I felt) very validated
when the New England Journal of Medicine actually (14) (used) the research for science.
My next pursuit was (15) (I wanted) to see how long I could go without breathing,
like how long I could survive with nothing, not even air.
