Ben is a fashion Nazi! What the hell is wrong with the shirt/Cenk combo? I don’t think it looks bad. It looks comfortable. The hell with style. We don’t need to worry about that shit. We’re Young Turks!!!!!
Herman Miller is almost an industry standard in the IT world. Especially their Aeron series. Once you know what they look like, you see them fucking _everywhere_.
Finally Old School is back!! This is by far the best show on the network and it’s always great to see Ben! The conversations are absolutely genius. It’s like Seinfeld on steroids!! How much you should tip the valet, the perfect meal, women, ideal salary, LA, childhood stories, working in Miami, life’s little pleasures and on and on and on!! You name it and they’ve talked about it! And it’s always great to see Cenk out of the world of politics and instead see him bring his incredible passion to such important topics as milkshakes!!! Fucking genius! Did I say how much I love this show?!
I love old school because life is hard and I need a pick me up. Hour 2 of the main show was supposed to be the fluff hour but now it’s the rape and police brutality hour. I don’t need to be getting stories about child sex slaves on old school. Come on man.
You’re so right Karia! I used to love the second hour but now it’s become the rape and police brutality hour as you so aptly put it. Just purely speculating here but I think that the main culprit is Ana. I’ve always gotten the impression that see feels that the lighthearted stories somehow reflect poorly on her. It’s as if she needs to prove to either the audience or herself that she’s smart. She reminds me a little of Fredo Corleone when he screams at his little brother “I’m smart! Not like everybody says… like dumb… I’m smart and I want respect!”
I think you are right! It makes me sad. Because she IS SMART. And that’s the big problem with “fluff” broadcasting or as they say entertainment news, they have REALLY stupid people doing it. If we had someone smart taking on the fluff in a smart way it would blow up the Internet. Well more than tyt has already blown up.
Old School is gold. I love how it took Ben 5 minutes to tell Cenk that he looked terrible in that shirt. It did look fine from the back so I’d say it’s Cenk that ruins the shirt. I think his coloring just doesn’t match plus a non-matching tee underneath made it even worse.
And yeah, just give someone 21 million and stop there. Dude, you have 21 million you can buy what you want with that!
Did I hear correctly? College graduates only earn an average salary of $35000? That sounds abysmal.
Women deal with enough creepers trying to talk to them, that we know if we engage in the conversation…suddenly there are things expected of us. Even if it’s just small chit chat… it’s easier to just be polite, hope they don’t get pushy, and wait for the conversation to end. Yes… all women.
Have to agree with this. Instead of taking 16-20 minutes to download a new Old School, it would only be 5 minutes or so. Don’t care about the video quality, just the content of the show itself.
I love Cenk, but he really should try to get a clue on what he’s talking about when out of his wheelhouse. First off Nebuchadnezzar wasn’t a god, he was a Babylonian king. Gods and rulers were occasionally equated in old-timey places, but not there.
Second, Memphis, Tennessee was literally named after Memphis, Ancient Egypt. I imagine it’s pretty embarrassing to ask a local why there’s pyramids there. The ruins of the original city are right next to the pyramids of Giza.

Jesus Christ, it’s Memphis, Egypt! And the guy next to the pyramid is the dumbass.
I’m itching to hear Cenk’s stories about Olbermann and MSNBC.
Also, the woman was (and still is, I think) Beverly D’Angelo.
Al Pacino told Letterman that he would wear a disguise whenever he went to ball games, but the guys who worked there would always say, “Hi Al.”
Also, how is purple hair a new thing? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all different colors (purple, pink, tangerine, etc) for about 15 years.

Using the word Nazi in description of a Jewish person seems to be in poor taste. Just my opinion.

Wow! How do you know?

no not all leftist Venezuelans are evil
awsome.
You know what, Cenk, I looked at your shirt and I thought that suits you really nice, seriously.
And I’m not a fashion idiot.

Now I look forward to this nonsense every week lol, love it! Ben + Cenk = Gold. Then again, Ben + anything = Gold =)
