How can you share something this juicy and not provide the video?

I have to say that until I went looking for this video I had never heard him speak.. What the heck is with his voice?

He developed spasmodic dysphonia (involuntary larynx contractions) in 1996 at age 42.

It was caused by eating tainted hippopotamus meat. He had hit the hippo while driving a mack truck near Pablo Escobar's compound in the middle of the night, pursued by paramilitary forces. He returned 2 days later under cover of darkness to eat its liver and testicles, which an alternative health guru told him contained antioxidants and hormones that could prevent aging. He wound up about a week later in an El Salvadoran prison after rampaging through various towns in Colombia, Panama, and El Salvador causing property damage to several farmers' vegetable stalls, soiling himself repeatedly, and accosting locals. Eye witnesses report that he had the voice at the time of these incidents. The US had him extradited soon after agreeing that they'd try him, but they dropped the charges on administrative grounds almost immediately.

That's probably not true - no one really knows why spasmodic dysphonia happens. Seems to be something to do with your Basal Ganglia.

Sounded like a McAfee story for a bit. Nicely done.

That’s probably not true

You really had me going! Close enough to the truth I guess. Not why he has spasmodic dysphonia, but plenty of similar shit he pulled.

classic RFK, of course he would get an infection/parasite that causes his voice. he will eat any animals he sees. do you ever wonder if he would eat crows, vultures or a raven? he was in a manic phase looking for exotic animal meat.

hippos are dangerous dead or alive it seems.

I mentioned to an acquaintance that this guy seems like an avatar of plague, and he was like “It’s funny, most of his ideas are good.” then went on to list some absolutely crazy bad takes. Clearly this guy is not the one to take health advice from.

he looks like worms using skin suit.

Supraphysiologic dosing of testosterone will do that. That and really really really tiny balls.

Clearly Hegseth is war. Who's famine and death? Maybe Brooke Rollins for famine.

Which one is responsible for (de)regulating the fossil fuel industry causing crops to die from climate change?

[-] fizzle@quokk.au 16 points 3 days ago

What a cringe fest.

I hate watching these idiots. His entire repertoire is classic pseudo science grift.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 9 points 2 days ago

He allegedly has a medical condition. But these people lie all the time.

[-] Artaca@lemdro.id 4 points 2 days ago
