Something Interesting About Kabel:
I tick. Yes like a clock I tick. It usually takes people being in a car or in a room with me to slowly figure out there's no clock, I'm not wearing a watch and that the ticking is definitely coming from me. The answer is that at 20 years old I had my aortic heart valve replaced with a prosthetic valve. So I tick.
