With Serene Branson, she said that that was the beginning of a migraine and I believe it. People underestimate how scary the neurological "prodromal" (before the actual illness) symptoms of migraines are. My wife's fingers will get numb like they are covered in Band-Aids, her vision will go gray and blank out in the center field and her pupils will start doing weird shit like she's on acid when one is coming on. That reporter having a verbal breakdown is the same deal--just a different part of the nervous system. As soon as I saw that clip I called it as migraine related. Essentially cognition, and often memory, completely fragments. I tend to slur or silent stutter, but I have ended up speaking gibberish before and I suspect if I was put on live tv to talk direct to camera at a certain point in my cycle that's exactly what would happen.

Guest futuregirlfriend Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 a friend was saying that talk sport have it pinned on government mind control tests - still early days by the looks of things. so you're watching tv, they flip ant and dec's switch, the duo start spouting off exactly what the powers that be want broadcast and the public obeys, obviously. gerald donald's got a new project based around it.

baph Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) I was on the phone with a client a few months back, and it was a pretty serious call, and I was pre-migraine and I slowly became aware that I was basically going "yess I'll getta finga fliber butll fin finfl aamml ammmmmm" and it scared the living hell out of me. Thought I was stroking out, basically. Thing is, even when I became aware of the gibberish I kept trying to correct for it and it wasn't working but I couldn't shut up... felt really helpless.

Bubba69 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 It probably has something to do with the fact that your entire job is to look professional and speak clearly with perfect flow all the time. Everyone's brain fucks up from time to time, but when my brain fucks up like that, I stop talking and think for a second. These folks will just keep going and see if it makes sense because they think nothing can stop them. I've had phone interviews where I talked just as nonsensically because I was nervous but trying to act confident and on top of my game at the same time(i fucking hate phone interviews).
