Mancow Muller of Chicago's Big 89, WLS-AM Mancow and Cassidy show, decided to get waterboarded to see what it's like and to share it with his listeners and viewers.
It is way worse than I thought it would be," Muller said imediately after just six seconds of the questionable treatment.
He was asked, "Do you consider that torture?"
"I thought I could hold out 30 seconds," responded Muller. "60 seconds. It was instantaneous. I don't want to say this. I do not wish to say this. Absolutely torture. Absolutely. That’s drowning.”
"When I was a kid I drowned," Muller explained. "My brother pulled me out of this pool I fell in and I had to be revived. I remember the feeling and its the feeling of drowning."
"I wouldn't have done this, if I had known it was going to be this bad, I would not have done this," concluded Muller.
An EMT was on hand in case of medical emergency.

On October 22, 2008, WLS-AM in Chicago announced that Muller would join that station as a weekday radio talk show host, in the 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. time slot, beginning on October 27, 2008.
