In this episode of The Karamo Show, host Karamo interviews a male guest who reports daily electric‑shock sensations that began after a COVID infection and have progressively worsened, affecting his ability to work, drive, and perform everyday tasks. The guest explains that his wife manages his medication regimen and that the shocks have caused a workplace accident on a forklift. He is seeking a polygraph (lie‑detector) test to support a disability claim, hoping to prove the legitimacy of his condition. The conversation also reveals deep family conflict: the guest’s twin brother, Laz, appears on the show and openly doubts the illness, accusing his sibling of fabricating symptoms for attention. The guest describes emotional hurt from his wife’s growing doubts, the loss of his previous active lifestyle, and the strain of being disbelieved by relatives. The episode ends with Karamo introducing Laz and urging viewers to subscribe for the next season.
Chapters
You've been trying to get answers for a while.
Yes, for almost 3 years.
Yeah.
2 neurologists and 1 specialist.
Got it.
Actually recently.
And hearing your wife say that she has doubts, that she doesn't believe anymore, does that hurt? 'Cause I know you said you get serious.
Of course that hurts. Like, I mean, she's the only one that's basically taking me to the doctor's appointments to see what medications I need. She actually makes up all my medications for me. So, I don't even know what I'm supposed to take or what I'm not supposed to take.
So she's been doing everything.
She does it all.
How often did you experience these shocks?
Every day, every morning from the time I wake up till nighttime. It may give me 2 to 3 hours a day. It may hit me 4 to 5 hours a day, but there's never a day to where I don't have shocks.
And what changed since you started getting the shocks?
Right after I had COVID, that's when it started off really gradual and like a tingle.
Yeah.
And then all of a sudden, boom.
So why was this lie detector test important to you?
So I can prove that I'm— I need this for disability. I can't work like this. I can't work with shocks. I can't do anything. I can't even drive. If I drive, eh.
'Cause this changed your whole quality of life.
Yeah, it does.
And so I asked your wife about that question about like, what were you like before? She said that you were driving, y'all were going on dates, y'all were active.
Yeah, we were leaving for the weekend.
Do you miss that life?
Yeah, I do.
Do you ever feel like maybe you'll never get that life back?
Yep, that's exactly what it feels like.
Have the shocks gotten worse or changed since they started?
Oh, it's definitely got worse.
And there was an incident at work while you were having one of these shocks?
Yeah.
What happened?
I was on a forklift and the forklift, well actually my right leg push on the pedal.
Because of the shock.
Exactly, the shock hit like boom. And then when I did that, the load tipped it over like that. Now if there was some person standing on the other side, they would've got all those boxes.
Got it. And how does your family feel about your mystery illness?
They don't believe it. Just, I'm just gonna leave it like that. They don't believe it. They don't believe it.
I mean, 'cause you got a twin brother and how's your relationship with your twin brother?
I haven't talked to him in about 7 years.
6 months. Wow. Why did you distance yourself?
Because it's like, it's kind of like me telling everybody that I do have an illness and nobody's listening to what I'm saying. Nobody's believing it. And then including my own twin brother, he's like, "Yeah, right. Nah, come on." And I'm like, "Dude, I'm being very sincere to you." Like outta all of our years living together as twins, I've never lied to you. You can't make this up.
Okay. Well, we don't know. That's why you're here for that lie detector test. Oh yeah.
Okay.
Well listen, I'm ready to meet your twin brother Laz because your twin brother Laz doesn't agree that you actually are having these. So everyone, welcome to the show Laz.
Woo!
Laz, welcome to the show, man.
How you doing?
Thank you. So how do you feel about this?
Alleged illness. I don't believe it.
You don't believe it?
I don't, I don't. We twin brothers, man. I haven't even, I haven't talked to you since like 6 months ago, right?
Yeah.
And the last time I even physically seen you was in 2021. Right. That's a huge gap, man. Yeah, it's a huge gap. I know it. Quit playing, man, come on.
You say alleged illness, explain.
Because when we were kids, we had heart murmurs. He knew that. We would go to try to go to football practice and we couldn't play football because it hindered us. So now, as right now, he's saying he has this rare condition. I think it's just a rare case of lies. You think I need attention or something? You think I need attention? I need attention, so I'm gonna say, oh, I'm gonna make up this disease, or he don't wanna say, oh. This is my real life. I'm actually getting shots. No matter what anybody else say or think, I'm getting shots. And I don't want the whole focus to just be on me like that, man. Do you love The Karamo Show?
