  1. is there any way to watch full episodes on youtube if your a member? This player always freezes up on me or goes slow or won’t go to full screen on my phone or ipad. I love this show but would love to watch it on youtube again. I have no issues on the app.

    1. Hi! Google Chrome extension tool Privacy Badger causes all sorts of problems for me on the tyt site. Do you have extensions that might be affecting your browser? It took me a while to figure it out.

    2. I just download them and watch them on a video player. If you’re short on storage space you can delete afterwards or transfer to a PC.

      I doubt they’ll ever put full shows on YouTube. YouTube has it’s own membership, they’re not going to let TYT set up a separate login. So releasing a full show on YouTube would make it universally available.

  2. LMAO when they were playing with the spinners Kim said “the black one is kinda loud” and Ambria said she was “offended”. I love you guys. You are just like the people I love to hang around with.

  5. A simple fix for Grinder and other apps that are “adult” dating or similar slant, is to take a page from porn (the pay to play variety). The usual 30 day free trial period most often requires a credit card and a modest charge of $1 to verify your age (and ability to pay for a monthly subscription). This doesn’t prevent the few kids who manage to obtain their parent’s credit card from gaining access but it catches them once Mommy and Daddy get their credit card bill. A $1 charge shouldn’t be objectionable to users looking to “get with” someone when they spend more than that for a gallon of gas or bus fare to enable you to get to the place you will meet up at.

    Just sayin’

      1. I just looked it up.

        The reason is:
        1) End of Episode 7 includes Anakin, which is weird.
        2) This order becomes the story of Luke, and Episode 2/3 is basically a flashback.

  8. Must admit I’ve been skipping the Brett hosted shows, his speech cadence or enunciation is quite annoying after awhile and he doesn’t seem to bring anything to the panel. Sorry Brett but not a fan.

  11. I know I am about to get roasted for this… but like Amberia, I haven’t watched the Star Wars flicks either. I think I’ve seen most of the original first and I’ve seen bits through thanks to the internet, but I really could never get into them ay. And my lord that is not a popular position, these days lol. But I appreciate it’s appeal and respect its empowerment of peoples and the cultures for sure!

    …. I know right, the force isn’t strong with this one…. :P

    Love yall! Team TYT all the way cos we embrace difference, not cower from it!!

  13. Amberia is right – its the new yo-yo. It’ll fade. BUT NOT FOR MEEEEEEEEEEE.

    I have ADHD, 30 year old woman. I am in the top bracket of ‘I got adhd so bad’ in terms of its presentation and how it effects my life and these toys are an added bonus in helping me concentrate on boring shit I have to do. It stops me from picking at my skin or getting distracted by how my clothes feel on my skin or the pressure against my legs where I sit in a chair (these ‘feel’ sensations, in normal brain peeps, go away shortly after putting on clothes, or sitting in the chair, similar process to descending inhibition for pain, but I can’t switch that shit off).

    side note – coz, adhd. ADHD is so poorly named – its not attention deficit its more like ‘I can’t not pay attention to everything around me and inside my head all the time. theres no proper ‘filter’ to ignore unimportant data (like how clothes feel against skin) so not only do all my senses work at freak levels but my own thoughts invade each other constantly and thats with medication by the way. I’d not move if I didn’t have medication.

    ANYWAY. my life is weird my brain doesn’t fit into this world anymore… these toys help a bit. psychologists have been using tactile fidgety things for adhd and other neurological conditions for ages, this is just a mass marketed version – hopefully it’ll get people to be a bit more aware of such conditions and actually learn what they are instead of throwing out side comments like ‘trump is such a child. he totally has adhd’ (ahem. cenk). coz, as I’ve said before, that shit hurts.

    TLDR: I love the cube, it helps me tune out the distractions with adhd. and please stop saying trump has adhd coz it hurts my feelings and I have a glitchy amygdala so I do not deal well with emotional… stuff. I’m like River in Firefly. I feel everything, in both meanings of the word.

  14. Why for the love of pete do airlines decide to escalate immediately to full-force enforcement of the rules? Clearly, was it a misunderstanding by the father in thinking just because he paid for a seat he couldn’t use it…?
    It makes perfect sense for Delta to say, “Okay, this is a mistake. Let’s change the name on the manifest so it matches the boarding pass and everybody’s happy. So you get to use the seat paid for and we keep to our schedule.” Then, Delta needs to publicise the rule and say, “Here’s how this works, here’s what we did to maintain good customer service and satisfaction, and stay within the FAA rules. But we must enforce the rule and we have to from now on.” In other words, get the fuck out in front of all the bad publicity and ill will.
    I guess that’s not how this works, though.

    1. I know, it’s super bizarre. I think it must be a USA issue because stuff goes wrong all the time on local flights here (Australia) and people just go… “yeaaaah. okay, should have done this, do it properly next time, sorry… lets get on with it.” *cheeky wink*

      Or is that coz we’re lazy and don’t like conflict? Other countries, chime in?

  15. If I’m understanding correctly, this family bought that middle seat but then basically gave it up when they sent their older son on an earlier flight. In no way does that guarantee that the seat between them will stay vacant. This is basically a situation where the consumer and the media are both playing dumb. I bet everyone else on the flight understood exactly what had happened. And many of us have flown with our kids and know that you have to hold kids under 2yrs old on your lap. TYT’s coverage of this tonight was laughably flawed in even the basic understanding of the situation.

    Still love y’all, tho. Have a good one .

    1. Okay, but I thought the middle seat was in the name of the son who flew later? That way, the seat would have been reserved in his name but occupied by another son, the infant?
      I don’t know. Now I’m having to now research a story I was only half-listening to, because I, Aaagh! LOLOLOL Thanks.

      1. Whether older son flew later or earlier is not matter: when he switched flights he gave up that seat. They did not pay for a seat for a – 2 yr old, as they can fly for free. They thought they were making a smart move, but really they should have booked it so Mom + Dad were on the same side of the aisle so when they gave up the older son’s seat, they’d still be all together.

        But for real: the thought of putting a 2 yr old in his/her own seat is actually ridiculous. Best place for any kid that age is getting hugged by a parent. Ears popping and turbulence are freaky enough for a baby like that, no reason to strap them alone so they can cry. And of course, the rest of the adults on the plane at that point are like, “Dude… pick up that crying baby and give it a hug already, are you insane?!?!”

        Airline life. I’m in it all the time. Patience is a virtue x10.

  18. A dude at work just this week showed me this device. I can understand the appeal. I tried the three hole spin but the space between my forefinger and my thumb wasn’t enough. Totally sending the YouTube version of this vid to him…could be a great introduction to TYT.

  19. Woo hoo go Fidget Cube!!! I kickstarted this project, I got one for me that’s colored like a Super Famicon and N64 controller, and another one that is black and green for my 3 year old son who has a learning disability, and they are sooooooo amazing I urge anyone who has just a little too much brain activity going on when they’re trying to concentrate to buy one. They are super high quality, like a PS4 or Xbox 360 controller. Love Fidget Cube so much, it’s a life changer for me for sure, and of course for my son.

    1. I also want to defend FidgetCube against something that Amberia said. Almost everything the FidgetCube does is completely silent with the exception of 3 of its buttons which make a very quiet “click”, much more quiet than clicking a pen. So if you don’t want to annoy anyone, like you’d be obviously doing in a quiet environment with that spinny thing she was playing with, you just won’t press the clicky buttons you can press the silent buttons or interact with the cube in numerous other silent ways.

  20. Brett… I LOVE YOU!! I laugh to tears every time I watch you. In a world where Trump is my Prez, thank you for making me laugh constantly!

  21. The President should be weaned from his smartphone (and twitter account) and be given instead any of the demonstrated fidgeting devices. He does a lot of non-tweeting fidgeting as well. Watch him in any clip where he has to remain seated at a table with other people for any length of time. He generally arranges and re-arranges things in front of him on the table with what would seem to be almost a compulsive need.

  22. 1: Topher Grace’s edit of the prequils.
    2: Rogue One.
    3: A New Hope,
    4: The Empire Strikes Back.
    5: Return Of the Jedi.
    6: The Force Awakens.

  23. 1/100 people with IUDs get pregnant, 99% effective. Most effective, but this happens.

    IUDs last between 3 to 12 years ranging from Skyla to Paragard.

    IUDs DO NOT affect your fertility and you can get pregnant immediately after removal.

    1. Aaaand…isn’t it possible the baby was given the IUD to hold and ha ha ha, funny photo! This whole dustup sounds like an Onion story. Move on, y’all, ok?
