I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

I know you were probably just confusing it with Lou Gehrig’s disease, but this absolutely cracked me up.

I think it was just because Michael Parkinson was a prominent figure in the UK when I was a kid in the early 2000s, and Muhammad Ali was also the most prominent figure who had Parkinson’s disease.

And seeing as Michael Parkinson conducted some famous interviews with Ali in the 70s and 80s, I assumed he must have caught Parkinson’s from him. 😂
