  1. 1:24:51 The guy who would say, “I can’t believe that person ate all my cookies.” I know a guy. I agree; he’s definitely not worth anyone’s time.

  2. Ben constantly ruffling his hair is giving me some serious problems. He has really nice hair (congratulations on the genes), which is admittedly a weakness of mine, and I suggest you censor Ben’s hair ruffling in the future, because that’s gotta be NC-17.

  5. “Bro” has been around the Black community way back before the Revolution. Like soul brother and soul sister. That didn’t get invented by Vietnam. Also, “blood” was an alternate of bro. “Yo, bruh” or “bluh” equally in use.

    2. I was watching it live for the first twenty minutes. Then I left a free WiFi area and figured I’d catch the rest of it tomorrow (which is yesterday now.) Sad it’s not posted yet.

  12. Where’s this week’s Old School, y’all? Also, Cenk is right – high-end pistachio ice cream is a tannish color while the cheap stuff is all putrid green. Definitely de-appetizing. And the original red velvet actually is distinct from chocolate cake! Something about the dye – I believe it was originally (and still is in some cases) made from some sort of insect.

    And since it’s been bugging me, something else… Didn’t happen here, but this grammatical mistake really irks me: “the reason is because…” does NOT MAKE SENSE. Grammatically, you would say “the reason is that…” – otherwise just say “because!” Think of the “is” as an equals sign.

    Alright, sorry for dumping that here. I just have been feeling bad for Ana and occasionally Cenk, who both strive for precision, sounding redundant or uninformed.

  13. Mint is actually green, too. But I’ve made the same Pistachio/Mint connection with ice cream. I have never tasted pistachio ice cream. Also, I believe Brier’s Mint Chocolate Chip is white. I just close my eyes and have a foodgasm when I eat it.

  14. I only just realized I missed the first 10 minutes of OS last week (this episode) because I had not heard about TYT moving to cable. After a couple weeks of frustration and irritation with the seemingly ludicrous changes of no swearing and arbitrary breaks I now have the answer. It seems weird and I don’t understand it but it is what it is. Whatever. I just hope someone at the top at TYT isn’t going all Sir Topham Hatt on its members and supporters. Sir Topham Hatt can go fuck himself and his greedy ass.

  15. About Sessions/loyalty, etc? Remember…Hitler KILLED all the guys that helped him into power pretty soon after. This attack on Sessions is hauntingly familiar.

  18. I have been a member for years, and I watch this network religiously. As an ex-Amish, commenting on your astounding ignorance of ice cream is unavoidable. Mint is an herb. (Mint has numerous health benefits beyond taste, especially in the concentrated, steam distilled oil.) Of all “natural” flavors of ice cream, it is among the top. Where on Earth you found green colored ice cream I can’t imagine, maybe it was dyed for St. Patrick’s Day? Mint and mint chip, made in the kitchen, are not green. Milk, cream, fresh mint, spearmint or peppermint oil, stevia, and salt are the only ingredients you need. Even if you use vanilla and/or lots of sugar, there is no amount that can color it green. I don’t blame you for having disdain for green ice cream. However, maybe reconsider where you buy your ice cream if you don’t know what’s in it. If they are serving green ice cream they forfeit their credibility to serve naturally delicious flavors.

  21. Frank Mankiewicz was the Distinguished-Visitor-In-Residence at my school (Mary Washington College) in 1976.

    He was great.

    Here is a blurb from the time:

    Frank Mankiewicz, journalist, author and
    former political aide to Robert Kennedy and
    George McGovern, was this year’s Distinguished Visitor in Residence at Mary Washington College.

    The DVIR program, aimed at bringing nationally known scholars, artists and political figures to the College, was begun in 1970 by the MWC Alumni Association. Previous distinguished Visitors have been anthropologist Margaret Mead, social activist Saul Alinsky, historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., novelist Chaim Potok and choreographer Agnes DeMille.

    Mr. Mankiewicz, who is currently running
    for a Congressional seat in Maryland’s 8th
    District, brought expertise in both politics and journalism to his talks at MWC. Among the posts he has held are those of Latin American Regional Director for the Peace Corps; Press Secretary for Robert Kennedy; and. National Political Director for George McGovern in the 1972 campaign. In addition, he has written three books on current events; two on the rise and fall of Richard Nixon {Nixon from Whittier to Watergate; U.S. vs. Nixon), and one based on an exclusive interview with Cuba’s Fidel Castro {With Fidel)

  22. Devil May Care Ice Cream in West Sacramento steeps fresh mint stems in the cream before adding chocolate, so there is a bit of the green plant flavor is mixed with the mint taste-no green food coloring. It is amazing!

  26. Ben and Jerry’s Pistachio Pistachio ice cream is so so so so good. You cannot stop eating it until you no longer have a choice. And of course it is not green.

    Conapathy is a good word. Old School Old School gold.

  27. Excellent old school Old School.

    Thoughts:

    “Bro Lit”: A term connoting a level of intoxication reminiscent of frat boy antics.

    Cenk you’re on to something with Bro Lit. This one could go viral.

    Might I suggest “confapathy” instead of conapathy to more clearly denote a sense of confusion and confusion and apathy.

    Vornado: a tornado of victory. Pretty good.

    Might I simply suggest “Shit-nado” , instead of “Shinado”no explanation required.

    Thanks boys, this was AWESOME.

  28. The green in ice cream is just color coding. I like mint chocolate ice cream on a hot day, but if someone got done and wasn’t expecting it, i could see how it would seem like treachery. The green is there for safety reasons.

    Swim suit is censorship… or modesty… er… insecurity. At varying degrees.

    I had a close encounter with cheese curds at a family reunion a few years back. I had already had a plate of food and someone mentioned them. You’re right. The word ‘curd’ doesn’t endear itself to appetite. I passed. What about “cheese truffles” or “chuffles.”

    I read in a Reader’s Digest decades ago about the coining of words like this. They were called “sniglets.”

  29. Love when Ben is on old school.
    With regard to the swim suit debate… I have been in the water as long as I can remember, love swimming and diving and have national qualifactions as a diver for my country. I undrstand you dont like calling it a bathing suit, but we always just called it a suit. I understand that it is different from a suit and tie, but I think it was representitive to us of the work we put in. Our compitition suit meant business! And our preformace refected the thousands of hours put in…. its our suit and tie and we mean business. Swim suit, as a word, might not capture the deadication and time spent in the pool, but we take suit aspect to heart and know the work behind our suit.

  30. If Trump does go crazy after Hope and Kelly leaves. Is that a way to get away from the coming indictments?

  31. RE: colors of foods. This will be disgusting, but it may be important to read. You have been warned though. Back in December, I took a crap and the water looked a little red. Don’t consider too many questions at this point like “why did I look” or “do I always look” or “do I have some twisted fetish that requires me to look.” I can assure you it was random, but you will have to trust me on that. I went to my doctor, explained what I saw, and he suggested a colonoscopy. I’m 48. And he said he would have ordered one at 50 anyway. I got the procedure done, and they found 2 benign polyps and 10 precancerous one’s. The doctor said I would’ve likely developed colon cancer in a few years if I hadn’t had the colonoscopy. A few weeks later, I see the same thing in the toilet. I swear it’s not a habit or fetish. But- it did make me consider the food I’d consumed in the last few days. I had eaten some Red Velvet cake the day before. And noticing the similarities of what I saw in the toilet then with what I saw in December, I remembered I ate some Red Velvet cake at that time as well. I’ve only eaten red velvet cake twice, and having worked in a bakery years ago, I knew that red food coloring was involved. Just to be sure, I ate some more red velvet cake. Same result. My point is that Red Velvet cake may have saved my life. If I keep eating it, it will probably kill me later. Butt-

  35. #1. Red velvet is a chocolate cake but the original type of red velvet and where it got it’s name is the type of coco used had some iron in it and when they chefs added vinegar it would turn the cake into a red rust color.

    #2. Milk is made up of Curds and Whey when separated with an acid. When you take those curds and put them in hot water and work them with your hands you get mozzarella. So curds are not cheesier then mozzarella, they are the same thing roughly just one has had it’s proteins worked out a bit.

    #3. I like the word “Shloads” for shit loads. Trademark <- this guy.

    #4. great show.

  36. I have the idea that explains the hate against fake-ish foods colored green or other colors: Suspension of disbelief.

    The Walking Dead has zombies, fine, but if they threw in Frankenstein, smashing zombies with his mighty fists, who only wants redemption and acceptance amongst our heroes, we’d lose it…because THAT would be ridiculous. Same for dragons suddenly erupting from the earth’s core, or ninjas riding dinosaurs.

  39. The whole epifood, epiphifood argument is entirely mis-guided.
    An insight into food is an “epiphinary”; blending of epiphany and culinary

    Tinkerage, Brolit, Conapathy

    All are entirely satisfactory per the rules I have invented in my own head.

    1. There was literally no way Stein could have won. A vote for her is a vote wasted, and you might as well have stayed home. It was either Trump or Hillary, there was never a third viable option.

  42. Mint chocolate chip ice cream does not have to be green. The Penn State Creamery makes mint chocolate chip ice cream that is white – they only use mint oil for the flavoring. Breyers also makes a mint chocolate chip ice cream that is white – they only use natural ingredients. Just sayin.

  44. -I am of the opinion that “bro-lit/brolit” has the potential to actually become a thing, but more like for slang. I am gonna start using it. I also like “conapathy”, which i feel like has more potential for becoming an actual dictionary word.

    -How has Ben not eaten pistachios? The make friggin shelled ones. Zero effort required. As in “ain’t nobody got time fo dat” ones… just open the bag and dump those bad boys in your mouth, son!

    -I started feeling anxious as Cenk and Ben struggled to remember the word “produce”.

    1. Their inability to produce that word (see what i did there) is so telling. I was anxious too. I’m glad someone in the control room said it.

  45. Thoroughly convinced Ben is the blandest man in America. Bennigans… I haven’t heard of that place since Office Space. Haha great episode other than the new found censorship.

  47. Down loading this as I write… But, I know it will be one of the better Old Schools ’cause it’s just Ben and Cenk…

  48. I had some doubt about Jenk wearing the Very Stable Genius shirt. Jenk is very stable, but genius is a high bar. Now he says throw away the pistachio that aren’t open. Confirmed, the man is a genius.

  50. There was an odd cut at 11 minutes. I understand editing for the audio podcast but is there any reason to edit the member video? One of the benefits of being a member is the ability to watch vod of live streams but if we don’t get the full streamed video it seems a bit odd.

  53. You need a word to replace Cheese Curds?

    Cheese Turcs.

    You’re welcome.

    Oh, and once agan, I’ll bring up “Swimwear” as a perfectly good word that already exists.

  56. With this garbage censored version of TYT/Old School/AP/Mainshow, you’re turning into what we joined to avoid. Stop trying to turn into the left wing CNN and be the alternative Media we joined to support.

    1. I second that emotion. If Old School and Aggressive Progressive are members only shows, then who in the F cares if you say F?! No one’s watching it but us. And if these new members (that you might get from cable…which I can’t see how you’ll get since they’re already paying for cable) can’t take a few salty words, then F them. TYT isn’t “Leave It to Beaver”……..or is it? Hmm.

    2. But choosing not to swear is not nearly the same as having a news network that is the mouthpiece of corporations.

      1. why are the beeping swears? WHY are they choosing not swear? it’s not because THEY chose it – you better believe their corporate owners have told them that no ads if they swear – don’t think there are gonna be ads – why the commercial breaks in the PG? … your ignorant if you don’t realize they’re selling out

        1. Corporate owners? What corporate owners? Give me one example of them having a pro-corporatist policy position. Just one.

  57. cheese curds are also known as squeaky cheese and are best on fries with gravy in a poutine.

    -From Canada

  58. Proper Red Velvet is made not with cream cheese icing, but with icing made from an actual cheese called Mascarpone. And it is even more delicious than cream cheese. Honestly.

  60. Fuck yeah love old school Old school! Ben gets a lot of shit online, though he often brings an rational perspective that is often needed. And I have respect for anyone who is willing to state things they believe even though it might be a minority position with their audience.
