How did testosterone treatment change Michael Fanone's life and gym routine?
michael don you were jacked what are you doing uh testosterone you're just straight up telling you testosterone yeah testosterone and like uh well unemployment lends itself to like a lot of time in the gym so i work out like six days a week and um i got a buddy of mine who uh got pretty badly injured in Iraq and Afghanistan serving overseas. And he was telling me, you know, I was having all these symptoms from my TBI because it was actually the seventh TBI that I had suffered. Traumatic brain injury. Yeah, traumatic brain injury in my career in law enforcement. And so, you know, I was tired all the time and lethargic. And he's like, man, you should go in and get your T-level tested. So I did. And they were like, you know, it's slightly β
Below like where we would say that you should probably start to take some type of enhancement. And so I got a prescription for testosterone and it was a game changer.
Dude. Your testosterone was low, just on the verge of being right at the level. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the horniest person I know. How is that? No, seriously, you are.
I don't know. I think that's like, I am. But that's like a mental. And then the mental and the physical weren't aligning themselves. And so now, like, everything is in, like, tip-top shape. Yeah. But this company that I get the testosterone from, they also like occasionally will try to shop, you know, shop you some like crazy strength like Viagra shit. And so they sent me these tablets. They're like little like they dissolve under your tongue. Viagra. It's like Viagra. But it's not. I mean, it's kind of like, it's not an off-brand. It's like their own concoction. And it's very, it's minty. It's great. But the problem is.
That's dangerous in your hands.
It's super dangerous. I didn't realize this, but they're like, Viagra comes like with 20 and 40 milligram tablets. These things came in like 100 and 200 milligram. So I think the idea was like you can cut the squares into like fours. Wait, you took it? Oh, I took the whole fucking thing, dude. No. No. Yeah. What happened? I mean, I got a f***ing erection that lasted for more than eight hours.
It was eight hours or twelve? What is it, eight hours or twelve hours? It's the erection thing.
I mean, I called the f***ing doctor. And? I mean, they were like, monitor it. I was like, how the f*** can I not monitor it?
Did you OD on Viagra or whatever?
Yeah. I'm pretty sure that whatever happened to me was unnatural and not safe. I mean, it was so bad, like, to take a piss, I had to, like, position myself, like, kind of on all fours, like, over top of the toilet so I could aim my shit down. Because I couldn't, like, you couldn't even bend it. You're serious? I'm dead f***ing serious. And? I wouldn't joke about some shit like this. How long did it last? Oh, man. I mean, I woke up the next day. I was still f***ed.
And were you nervous? Because, I mean, you can lose your, you know, f***, I think. You can, like, f*** it up and... I wasn't even thinking about that.
I wasn't going to go to a hospital. I was just going to, like... sit around and wait for it to resolve itself.
So what happened?
I mean, I, like, you know, took care of myself until that got boring as shit, and then I just, like, watched some f***ing westerns and... What about my day wearing compression pants? So no problems after that?
What happened when Michael accidentally overdosed on a high-dose erectile medication?
No, no, no, no. Everything's in working order. I just take less of the, you know, when I really want to, you know, dress to impress, I'll just like, just break off like a little sliver.
Oh, you want to chub?
No, I mean, I just like, if I'm, you know, with... someone that I really want to like blow their fucking mind. Oh, I thought you said dress to impress. Like you wanted a bulge to, no, no, no, no. You don't need that.
Yeah. You don't need that. Cause like there were your, your bulges all over the internet. You remember that?
Are we going to make this whole?
No, it's not, but it's, you are the one who brought up the Viagra story.
And so, no, I thought it was like a good segue into like, I'm not just the guy from January 6th.
