e claim. So you know that Larry Sinclair guy who's claiming he had some oral sex with Obama, did some coke back when Obama was pre-famous or I guess he was just starting out or something. Now I think we all agree we don't care, right? So none of us care what Obama did in his private life before he was a public figure. I don't really care. Now you could argue the hypocrisy and how did the news cove…
← Previous segment →the marketing and acting like the marketing is the science. That's one of those things that I can say that regular people can't say because I'm a little more free.
Was there a story I missed? Your eyes look high. My eyes look bloodshot. I'm tired. I've been working too hard. Working way too hard. No I'm not high but thanks for asking.
Don Steele says nobody gives a about Scott's position on anything and he's butt hurt. Don you're on my live stream. Did you look at all the things you could do today in your life and you said you know what I could do? I'd like to be on the worthless guy's live stream today. That was your decision Don. So if I'm worthless that would make you like the dingleberry on the worthless guy's ass, right? So at least the worthless guy was important enough for you to be my dingleberry. So dingleberry Don has decided that that was how the value he would add to the world today. So the value you added was Adam.
All right I have one more story to blow your minds. You ready? So this is a true story that I can confirm and you can confirm it too actually. It's easy to confirm. RFK Jr. has this problem with his voice called spasmodic dysphonia. Most of you know I had exactly the same disorder. And you don't hear it. You can confirm with your own ears that I do not sound like RFK Jr. And I was cured by surgery.
The reason I got cured by surgery is that I found a doctor who knew a doctor who was doing a surgery. So I didn't use any public sources. You know I didn't use Google. Google didn't turn it up. Couldn't find it in any search. But a doctor knew a doctor who knew a doctor that got me to Dr. Gerald Berke at the, let's see what is it, Southern, there's a Southern California entity, a big important one with the long name. Anyway so I talked to other people who had done the surgery and they all were perfect. They were cured. They all had perfect voices. So I knew it was real because I talked to people who did it. Real people.
So I did the surgery and it's a long recovery but now I'm recovered and my voice is, you know at least you can understand it now. If you were to do a Google search, which by the way I would invite you to do right now if you have a second screen, type in the cure for spasmodic dysphonia and what should pop up? The cure, right? I have the cure. It's a known surgery by a very respectable top surgeon. You know it's not, I'm not talking about randos. I'm talking about one of the top surgeons in this field invented the cure.
But now instead of saying that there's a cure it'll say there's no cure but it can be treated by Botox injections through the front of your throat to your vocal cords that will stun the vocal cords with a little bit of poison so that they don't spasm as hard. But you talk like you inhaled helium. You could talk about, no matter what your voice sounded like before, have it sound like this. So sometimes for like a week your voice would be okay but several weeks later after it got worse it was worse. Then you would get another shot and it would still be worse because you just kept shot. But then after a week or so you'd be able to talk like this for a little while.
And remember the injection goes through the front of your throat to reach the interior back of your throat where your vocal cords are. And they're just sort of guessing. They're guessing if the needle's hitting the right place because they can't see it. And they use a little sound thing where you go, I think you hum or something. You go huh. And then they see if they can pick up the sound. But they're basically kind of guessing.
I had this treatment. This is the most horrid medical procedure I've ever had because you're awake when they stick a needle through the front of your throat. The first needle is just to deaden your throat because the second needle is the big one. It's literally the worst thing I've ever done. So I stopped doing it because I had to stop doing it to find out if any other thing worked. Because if you were doing the Botox injections you couldn't really test anything else because they would be ruining the experiment. So I let mine wear off so that I couldn't speak pretty much at all for I don't know a year or so until I found the surgery. And there's a long recovery so it takes a long time to recover but it works.
So now, so some of you have done your Google search right? And you searched a cure for spasmodic dysphonia and what did you discover? That the surgery is not listed. It s

ays there's no cure but you can treat it with Botox, you know which they use the technical name for, and that you'll have to keep doing it for the rest of your life. I think the last time I priced it was $900 of Botox per treatment and I'd have to go back once a month times I don't know 50,000 people. So 50,000 people, $900 a month. And for that kind of money what happens when you do a Google sear…
