Cenk and Mark talk modern news consumption, Trump and more Trump.

  1. I never knew Mark was a voice actor but that makes so much sense now. 90% of the time I listen to TYT it’s just the audio files in my car, and I’m always weirdly comforted by his voice when he’s on, it sounds like it has slight compression built into it naturally, haha. Great OldSchool talk!

  2. This old school was all just a build up for that hilarious story at the end. You guys had me laughing at work.

    1. I couldnt see it, and then once I began to reply to your message the page kindof refreshed and it showed up… hmm, I hope some of the 20 mil goes towards a new website lol

  3. @ those saying they miss Wes… I miss him too but it’s very doubtful that will happen any time soon. Check Wes’ twitter and Facebook. It reads like a man mid psychotic break. I hope he’s getting help :(

  4. any MA Old School watchers vacation on Cape Cod?
    “Hey! Where ya goin’?”
    “I’m goin to Thompson’s Calm Bar, ‘cuz that’s where the tastiest clams are….”

  5. Heh. I wonder if that “guy who was rich” story Trump told was actually about himself. Especially after bankrupting 6 times and getting so desperate as to launder money from another country. According to the story Cenk told about him rejecting business counsel, he wasn’t desperate enough to drop the ego and take good advice. He gets No Sympathy from me.

  6. As a child, one of my favorite ads, was for Laura Scudder’s
    Potato Chips. It was a close-up of a boy of 6 or 7 who stood solemnly reciting his oath: “I will not roller skate in the hall. I will not practice little league cheers before 10 AM on Saturday morning. But this I do willingly, to compensate with all my might, by eating Laura Scudder’s potato chips: the noisiest chips in the world.” That, and the Mean-Joe- Green Coke commercial, are two of my favorites.

  7. Given Trump’s history of cheating his investors and the mafia-culture of his current Russian lenders, isn’t it possible that Trump was under a “death” sentence from the Russians before he pursued the nomination?

    Perhaps the nomination was the only “escape” via secret service protection to keep the hit men at bay? Now that he’s president he has round-the-clock protection even into retirement. The side benefit is that his children are also covered hence the Russians are denied leverage via threats to his family.

    …to conspiratorial??

  8. Love it. Cenk is exactly right after I watched the stone doc I thought the same thing Roger Stone is the Original Cuck. I see it one t shirts.

  9. Dammit, now I’m going to have to watch some KFC commercials to see if I can spot Mark’s voice.

    OF COUUUUUUUUUUUUUURSE she knew he was married! And he most likely told her he was going to leave his wife even if he had no intent to. I mean, she had his baby. But that’s a good speculation on Cenk’s part that he messed with her career and that’s why they only talk through lawyers. Not sure why the wife gets credit for acting nicely. I’d give her more credit if she dumped him and only talked to him through lawyers.

    Oh no, cliffhanger! Why is Mark so likeable? We MUST find out next time he’s on OS.

  10. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and there’s a taxi company called Casino Taxi. They’ve had the exact same ad running since the 1970s. It still runs today and you would be very hard pressed not to find someone who can recite the whole 30 second ad off by heart. It’s also a catchy jingle. Here is a TV ad from the 80s (they do radio too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1vLdnm7eFE

  11. The Noooobody! line comes from the Harbaughs (NFL coaches): “Who’s got it better than us? Noooobody!” But I don’t know where it technically originated.

    Mark and Cenk actually have really similar personalities upon further inspection. Their minds work very similarly. Cenk may be more extroverted and loquacious, but that ends up being more of a superficial difference.

  12. Looked it up. Kentucky Colonel is a title of honor bestowed by the state of Kentucky. Thanks to old school for making me google that. Another great episode, especially since it was free of Brett.

  13. Here’s the thing… I think I learned from OLD SCHOOL that colonel Sanders got his title from the local governor in exchange for… (probably services/money/political favors) but in no way military service.
