00:00okay so listen to this there is a dude who has a rare brain disorder
00:09and he hasn't been able to speak in years they gave him an Ambien and they've discovered
00:19all of a sudden he can speak again for a little while it gives him a boost what do you think
00:28the first thing he asked for sex yeah it gotta be food some kind of PJ PJ yep Big Mac there you go yeah I was
00:46gonna say honestly if you probably a Big Mac yeah no he said it is yeah no that's what I mean you're
00:53that you were about to say I I just was like okay he's not gonna really ask for sex what is it gonna
00:58be and I my two things in my head were like a coke yeah a coke or like a Big Mac a drug that makes
01:06most people sleep has been shown to boost recovery in mute patients an unexpected breakthrough they
01:11say that they call spectacular years ago this Dutch man identified only as Richard suffered a brain
01:16injury caused by oxygen deprivation after choking on food after that which happened when he was 29
01:23he never fully recovered his motor functions leaving him unable to speak move or eat on his
01:29own so he's wheelchair bound he requires a feeding tube and round-the-clock caretakers they gave him an
01:36Ambien just just to try and put him to sleep I guess they said all of a sudden it was clear Richard
01:43could see us and hear us hey guys whoa he's now 37 but it's only brief it happens only when he's on
01:53the Ambien right so it's like that movie awakening after a 10 milligram dose within 20 minutes he can
02:00begin to talk and that's when he asked someone to get him a burger I get that when you've been out so
02:07that I'm like a Big Mac and then I'm like I'm so tired yeah did he go to sleep or does it keep him awake
02:16well it lasts for just a little time uh but during so there's this small window where before it goes
02:22to sleep puts him out yeah that he has started talking he's called his father he started recognizing
02:28his brothers again he could even get up from his wheelchair and walk oh my god well then we got to
02:34figure this out right like it's an Ambien that makes him like what is the connector in your brain
02:39that is like not like clearly you can repair something oh yeah right for sure so yeah they've
02:46they don't really fully understand the relationship between this you know mutism and the drug or why
02:53its success is only temporary they're trying to figure that out now so they've increased his dosage
02:59to three doses a day but they found he's sleep he's like Big Mac look at what kind of existence is
