A Reddit user posted a picture of an Orthodox Jew who wrapped himself in a huge plastic bag while on an airplane to avoid flying over a cemetery without a barrier between himself and the graveyard. The country’s largest for profit prison company admitted that they were fraudulently logging employees hours for work they weren’t working. This company is also funded by the government, so taxpayers are paying for the non-work they privately are doing. A badass dragon bridge that breathes fire was built in Vietnam.
A wife that is being cheated on showed up to a wrestling event with a sign that exposed her husband cheating with his mistress. The plan backfired when people began to talk trash to her. Ben is completely against this woman’s tactics, calling her the new bad guy. A French scientist did a study for 15 years to find out if bras are detrimental to women’s breasts. Cenk thinks this guy is simply a pervert. Bra fittings became known to the guys of TYT in the production meeting.

Ben is a fucking moron. The “little thing” at the end is called an apostrophe too, and more importantly, her use after “husband” is completely correct. It’s representative of the word “is”. On the contrary, without it the sentence wouldn’t have a verb.
An awesome Friday show. Both hours.
Jayar, that was hands-down the best and classiest way to make every viewer interested in men become very, very intrigued. Speaking as a female in her 20’s, you should teach a class- we are all assuming very positive things without an ounce of creeper vibe. Bravo!
….Encore? (sorry, couldn’t help it, I’m intrigued!)
Cenk and Ana’s reaction to Ben’s story at 19:00 is priceless. Their laughs and clap were in perfect sync.
It’s about consequences and practicality, not laws. Right on Ana!
I usually listen to the audio podcast as much more convenient to do so. Forgot how much fun it is to actually watch the program!
I usually do too, but I had to see Ben’s glasses. They look fine to me..
I used to be a bra-fitter at Nordstrom. I didn’t go in wanting to work in that department, I applied originally for one of the high fashion departments with the intent of becoming a buyer for a designer label. However, I took the open position in that department and fell in love with it until I moved on to my current career in property management. It was a fantastic job because I helped other women feel confident about themselves and look good in their clothes. No, we don’t touch the clients. We measure the rib area, and about the breast area with measuring tape. Touching doesn’t happen, and the client does not even need to disrobe. We do go through training, and the majority of us mainly do fittings for breast cancer survivors and assist them with their prosthetic and certifications for training are issued by the main developer of the prosthetics. I don’t agree with the conducted study either, as the studies I read during my training explained that breasts have capillaries inside them which are designed to stretch with the swelling of child birth and such changes. These capillaries are similar to rubber bands, but can lose their shape if the weight of the lower part of the breast isn’t supported, and blood flow becomes restricted, this causes sagging. Bras keep the tissue weight balanced, providing posture help and blood flow to stop sagging. I wear bras all the time, and get compliments on my most beloved feature. My clients have always come back to thank me for how perky they are. I can see when a woman is wearing the wrong bra…I can spot it from a mile away. The statistic is about 80% of them wearing the wrong size. And there are different types of bras that do different things, so of course, one-size isn’t right across the board depending on if you want the bra to do certain things to a certain outfit. That’s where people like me come in, we figure all that out for you.
An no, I’m not a lesbian. Swang swang, sorry.
I think the teenagers don’t really understand what rape means. A lot of people think rape is only when someone is ambushed in an alley or this violent type. People need to realize rape is any sex without consent.
I totally agree. That one kid involved in the Stuebenville case, he was saying how he tricked his drunk friend into giving up his car keys because he knew drunk driving was wrong and wanted to do the right thing. Then minutes later when he walked in on a rape in progress he said he didn’t know it was rape.
That blew my mind and it should be alarming to everyone, Parents definitely need to step in and do some educating since schools obviously aren’t.
The reason schools aren’t educating is the fact that teachers don’t want to get fired. Sex is an incredibly sensitive/taboo topic in America. Parents and administrators flip their shit when the topic of sex comes up in school in a behavioral context (meaning not scientific explanation of sex).
lol. Done for HADES!
At 19:00 – Cenk and Ana’s simultaneous hand-slap!
commenting on the conversation on 9:40, being a former teacher, the current culture in America especially the school system is that teens and children have no personal accountability for their own actions whether its failing or doing something completely unacceptable. and I believe thats the reason for these teens having less empathy about rape or other violent acts because if it’s not specifically happening to them then they don’t care.
sorry was 8:40
I agree with Cenk about games & it’s worse than he says. The 13 yr olds of 4 yrs ago are 17 now. They never just say Rape alone, it’s always crap like “How does your Assh*le feel now? I’m gonna Rape your Ass till it bleeds bitch! Etc (and much worse).
Johns wrong, it isn’t JUST squeaky voice 14 yr old. Game after game, lobby after lobby. They know the context because it’s beaten into them, and only the “winners” of a fight get the “privilege” of saying the lines. “You like the taste of my C*ck?”
Haha, oh man, that got so incredibly inappropriate at the end. I laughed my god damn arse off. Best second hour ending ever.
You’d have to show your work to get me to believe that more people using “rape” as synonymous with “defeated” or “destroyed” is causing kids to be desensitized to the ACT of rape. I think that’s a little bit of a stretch, but I’m willing to hear any evidence.
I would wager a guess (though I have no evidence either) that one of the things preventing rape wasn’t that the word “rape” was a dirty, taboo word before. I know you had Will Wheaton on your show and he has concern that his kid said “rape” but the point there was that he didn’t know what it meant at all, not that he thought it was acceptable as an act.
I said Harry Potter in Hr 1. I meant Shostakovitch! Hee Hee!!!
We love you Ben!
