Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization. You might

notice that I've got a little bit of laryngeitis today so I'm going to take it

easy with my voice. I don't think I'm sick. I don't know what it is. I think I

just maybe enjoyed myself too much or something. But today your experience is

going to go up a level. I mean you won't even believe it. It'll be hard to

believe. Anyway, and all you need is a cup of mugger of glass, a

tanker and all this time. The canteen, jug of glass, a vessel of any kind.

Fill in with your favorite liquid. I like coffee and join me now for the

young parallel pleasure. The dopamine here the day. The thing makes everything

better. It's called the simultaneous set. Go.

Allow me to share with you my personal phobia, which I didn't know I had until

just now. Some of you know my story. That some number of years ago I lost

my ability to speak through something called a spasmotic dysphonia. Made my vocal

chords go nuts when I talked. What you might not know is that we are private.

What you might not know is that typically when people get that condition it

starts with a normal normal. What do you call this? And you can't talk. What's

it called when you can't talk? Why am I blanking on that? Laryngeitis, yeah. It

starts with a normal laryngeitis just from some normal kind of bug or something.

But if you if you try to talk past the laryngeitis you can trigger yourself

into a permanent voice loss. Which is what happened to me. Now I got mine

reversed by surgery but I don't want to reverse. I don't want to trigger it again.

So I'm not going to push my voice but I'll just sort of get through today and
