In Membership, TYT Old School - On Demand by Gigi Manukyan55 Comments

Cenk, Wes Clark Jr, and Ben Mankiewicz. Ben talks being late to film Old School and being called out by Wes on Twitter. Cenk’s friendship with Russell Simmons. Wes shares his early morning schedule. The trio start their usual conversation about good food.

Comments

  1. We have zip lines that go over alligator and croc enclosures at Alligator Farm. Arkansas ain’t got shit on Florida.

  2. The guy who is all about the environment is throwing away butter cause he can’t fucking put some sea salt on top. Really!?

  3. Joined a month ago & Old School is 1 of my favorite shows on TYT.

    I agree with Wes’s comment. The flavor of store bought, especially pre frozen, fails in comparison with fresh catfish.

    Plus, my family I our Cajun & to us, knowing how to skin a catfish is a good cultural litmus test for high quality marriage material.

  4. My two cats; which are mother and daughter, roam my entire block, and still come home every night, inside a locked house.

  7. TWENTY DAYS WITHOUT TYT????

    P l e a s e , go back to doing it more regularly, this show keeps my sanity. Watching I excuse myself as being normal

  8. “Is the lion going to hell because it ate its children?”

    Perhaps the better question is, why do grown adults still think of ontological questions in such juvenile terms?

    How about expanding our thinking regarding existential questions about reality and be more thoughtful regarding the nature of consciousness, rather than black and white archaic thinking of hell and heaven?

    Just a thought.

      1. i have actually seen a few in the comments section of members only shows. just imagine the commitment that takes. i love the show and i agonize over staying a member every month, at this point they should admit they don’t hate TYT.

  20. While I think everyone should be vegan … what really matters is what number ends up below the bottom line. With how much Wes dos for the environment, it’s not physically possible to eat enough animals to significantly drag it down. Same goes with Cenk, to a lesser extent, even though TYT prob should do more environmental stories.

  23. I don’t know about the rest of Virginia but the Winchester and surrounding area is entirely Pro-Trump. There are a lot of people around here who are looking to throw stones on election day. I have literally only seen 3 Hillary signs and one of those was outside of a DNC headquarters. There is no enthusiasm for HRC, so I wouldn’t be so quick to call Virginia for Hillary.

    1. Polling shows VA as really really blue.

      I am in Fairfax County and it is going to be a landslide here. VA’s demographics have been shifting more democratic for the last decade. The parts of VA that are growing are the democratic areas.

  25. There’s Ben AGAIN shiving Bernie as he fights from the ground, smearing him with Stein. That just a political tactic in support of Hillary or an ‘I’m not one of those kind of Jews’ slam? Whatever the reason it’s outrageous horrible bullshit & it’s nothing more than lies when he nervously said he was a Bernie supporter a couple times pausing as he said it as if he vomited in his mouth a little.

    You’ve never been a friend to Bernie, Ben, or his supporters. You wouldn’t know a goddamn thing about Political Revolution if it bit you in the ass & improved your life, & the lives of everyone you know a thousand fold.

    Neither Bernie nor Stein are Communists & even Communists don’t believe nothing is more important than anything else. Your joke is not just a joke it’s a fucking weapon & you know it. Red-baiting like the rest of the Establishment parroting Hillary crowd, except you can do it in a funny way & you think if you make people laugh we don’t see what you’re fucking doing. Slimy political bullshit. Called Bernie a “Crank” too. “Weird”, also with Michael “Good Cop” Shore backing you up.

    This is how The Young Turks pushes Bernie people into Stein & Baraka’s hands, unfortunately. I hope Cenk will realize this horrible trend & do something about it. He would never join you in your smears but he is, so far being silent, enabling it.

    Love you all. Even Ben & Hassan. But this is total bullshit. Outrageous bullshit.

  26. Charlie Sheen blows up the Old School theory that children of Hollywood are nicer. They need to throw that one back in the water.

  27. Mastro’s is ok. They serve the steak on a super hot cast iron plate though which means they aren’t allowing the steak to rest and let the juices hydrate the proteins. Also if you want a ‘Black and Blue’ steak the plate they serve it on is going to over cook it. Now the size and quality of the meat is amazing. If you want a good steak in L.A. though go to BOA. One of the best, if not the best steak I have ever had.

    As far as vegetarians are concerned. I love them. They taste amazing and I pretty much only eat vegetarians. Bovines, Fowl, Swine, Ovis, etc are all amazing tasting vegetarians.

  32. I’m taking tequila shots for every state Trump loses. I’m hoping to watch him become a historic loser through an empty bottle.

  33. Thanks for posting a show this week. I miss the “Old School” format with you guys! It’s a great way to wrap up what has been a LONG week- Thank you so much. Now, I am going to turn on CNN, MSNBC, and (ugh…) Fox and see where the Shit-Show will take us this weekend… (Maybe we’ll get lucky and get a blip of Cenk on Facebook if it gets interesting)
    It doesn’t seem like it was very long ago that Cenk & Ben were looking forward to elections- hahahaha! If only we knew then what we know now? (Shit, who could’ve guessed where we’d be today?!? )
    Part of me is SO ready for this to be OVER, another part of me is scared shitless!
    Any ideas for Election Night Drinking Games?
    LOVE YOU GUYS!

  34. * Despite my earlier joke, I like this show! Good background while I’m working from home :-)
    * I’ve heard a firsthand experience about working with J. Lo and it was not positive. I don’t think things have changed after her rise to fame. That’s just who she is.
    * More attention needs to be brought to NPD as it relates to Trump. People through the word “narcissist” around, but when it comes to Donald Trump, he actually meets the clinical definition. From Mayo Clinic:

    Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
    Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
    Exaggerating your achievements and talents
    Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
    Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
    Requiring constant admiration
    Having a sense of entitlement
    Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
    Taking advantage of others to get what you want
    Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
    Being envious of others and believing others envy you
    Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner

    There are many books covered on this topic: more needs to be said on this. Donald Trump is not in control of himself. He is driven by his condition 100%. This is why he can’t resist being baited and he cares more about appearances than running for President. Also, check out the PBS Frontline on Trump & Clinton if you haven’t already, which goes into his background.

  36. very glad you guys talked about PACIFIC DINING CAR by the way. i am not affiliated and have never been there! but i’m definitely going the next time i’m in LA.
    went to their website and they have groupon specials!
    https://www.groupon.com/deals/pacific-dining-car-2
    only thing with groupon is, you have to make sure not to let them expire before you use em.

  37. i bet ben has some wonderful funny stories about his daughter and roberta! that should be an old school topic sometime.

    1. I didn’t know his dog’s name was Roberta, I thought it was just literally “Bob”. In fact, I was actually inspired to name my future dog “Bob”, it’s a cute name :-)

  42. 1) The female dog in my first book is named Bob. She’s a border collie and wicked smart. It’s a super cute name for a dog. And Ben’s Bob is super cute, so the name fits her.

    2) I make a lasagna that everyone always wants the recipe to (I have only given it to my daughter). I put a teaspoon of parsley in the cheese mix for the whole thing, along with other herbs and stuff. I once ran out of parsley, and several people commented that it wasn’t as good as usual (not to me, but my sisters heard the comments). You can’t overdo it, but you can tell if it isn’t there. Kinda like nutmeg. Gross when there’s too much, but adds a little something when used sparingly.

    3) As a Native American, The Cavalry isn’t a positive association in my brain, but I really like Wes, so maybe this will change that.

    4) Really happy to have a new Old School episode. I use Chromecast to send it to my TV, and I make jewelry while I listen/watch. Great discussions this time. Looking forward to the next one.

  43. I think unsalted butter is used mostly for baking cakes and cookies and things like that.

    Also, Wes has a great laugh!
