Joe Buck reveals that hair plug addiction caused him to lose his voice in 2011

As a young man, one of Buck’s overwhelming fears was losing his hair, and the possibility soon consumed him. So at age 24, in Oct. 1993, he flew to New York City to get his first hair replacement treatment. He writes that, after the procedure, “I, Joseph Francis Buck, became a hair-plug addict.”
A few weeks before the start of the 2011 baseball season, Buck underwent his eighth hair replacement procedure. But something went wrong during the six-hour-plus procedure. When he woke up from the anesthetic, Buck could not speak. He believes his vocal cord was paralyzed because of a cuff the surgery center used to protect him during the procedure. A doctor not part of the operation theorized to Buck that the cuff probably got jostled during the procedure and sat on the nerve responsible for firing his left vocal cord. Buck was also going through personal stress at the time, as his marriage to his high school sweetheart was ending. That stress, Buck theorizes, could have made him more susceptible to nerve damage.
Panicked, Buck sought a voice specialist at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St, Louis, Dr. Bruce H. Haughey, who told him he had a paralyzed vocal cord and there was no guarantee on when his voice would come back.
Given his embarrassment over what had happened, Buck lied to his bosses, to the media, to friends. He told people that he had a virus and that his voice would come back. “I was too scared and embarrassed to tell them the truth,” Buck writes. “But I’m doing it now.”

He was really good when he was on Pardon My Take and was a really good sport.
But they are going to have an absolute field day with this.

I don't think I would admit that at all.

Wat? How is that possible

He probably lost his voice because he had a .... in his mouth.

Can we go back to 2011?

This from the guy who acted like the world was ending when Randy Moss pretended to moon people after a TD.

What makes this even funnier to me is that I just got finished watching a show about early humans and how difficult and amazing it was that they survived the conditions they did so long ago.
After watching that show, Joe Buck's hair plug addiction seems extra silly to me.
