  1. I’m surprised that Ana struggles with feelings of self-worth. I think she and Cenk are extraordinary people.

    My only broadcasting news outlets are TYT and Democracy Now. And although Amy Goodman is a legend, I can’t go without Cenk’s and Ana’s commentaries.

    And to tell you the truth, I’d rather spend an evening with C or A than with Goodman.

    1. Ditto. Shes talked about this often throughout the years. It seems to be a trait of some highly intelligent people,unfortunately. I agree with you,I think, no I KNOW Cenk and Ana are phenomenal and I cant get enough of these two either. TYT is life. Have a blessed day.

  4. Cenk, you need to read the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor and Stoic. It will blow your mind.

    First, because it is great, thought-provoking, deep stuff. Second, because it has been the inspiration for so many other writings and philosophical musings which you will recognize as you read it. (There’s old joke about people who think that HAMLET is full of cliches, not realizing that HAMLET was the original and the “cliches” were the result of writers coming along afterward and stealing from it. )

    I’ve never researched this theory so don’t beat up on me for sharing my own personal reaction to reading the Meditations when I was a teen… But keeping in mind that Marcus Aurelius wrote circa 150 AD, and that it took several hundred years before all the books of the New Testament were written down… Compare what Marcus Aurelius wrote about the peace-makers with what the NT says Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount. Like, word for word plagiarism. Which came first? My money is on Marcus Aurelius. Interesting!

  5. @Ana What you described about yourself is like us all. We all have that, the issue is recognising it, accepting it and doing smth about it. This is the nature of the beast. It’s called being Human. It’s a wonderful journey.

  6. The point of most table-side is to emphasize the freshness and authenticity of the ingredients. If they make their guac where you can see it, you know they didn’t just scoop it out of a vat they bought from Costco yesterday. I get not wanting to see it – one of the more awkward experiences I had at a dinner was an anniversary meal my husband and I went to where we went All. Out. including live Maine lobster, which they disassembles for us tableside. The poor waiter was new to doing it and so afraid of screwing up and we were just sitting there, more than a little tipsy, trying not to make him feel bad or make inappropriate jokes while he fumbled around it and everyone watched conspicuously as we made awkward small talk. But I understand why they do things tableside or show you the meat. It’s a status thing, an experiential thing.

  8. Cenk please please please share the ingredients for the shake…. I would like to try something new since everything I’ve tried hasn’t worked.

  9. Ana, I’m sorry that this crap gets you down sometimes. I know positive change can happen. It’s wonderful people like yourself that woke me up to the b.s. Ive been getting sold on for decades. I grew up in a military influenced wealthy virginia beach area and was trained to work hard and the hell with every one else. The past couple years after voting for Trump, I just havent felt right. I’ve never been a mean person. I now know, thanks to a lot of self reflection and voices such as your own, that I was tricked by fear. I now want to use my life experience to be able to have productive conversations with dyed in the wool conservatives. I am now a very happy monthly supporter of justice dems and tyt, and will only look back to help others. You are making a difference, thank you!

  11. Ana, in regards to your skin issues – granted, I don’t know if this is a new problem or something you have always had – but if it’s a newer issue and you are on hormonal birth control, that could be the culprit.

  12. Noticed Cenk’s weird motions before; glad he explained it. Will be watching him closer from now on!

  13. That chair! Man I almost did a ‘I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.’ With my hernia that has brought on my weight problem, plus the heavy kimono I had on, sheesh that was almost a scene. Steve got me straight about those chairs, what a wake up call. Ana can lean back in it and pop back up now, but I challenge her to do it eight years from now.

    I could feel my chair trying to get me LOL ?

  15. Oh, Ana. I’ve said this before, but for me at least, what I admire most about you is your authenticity. That might just be because I started following you guys in the middle of the 2016 election crazytown and jumped to watching Post Games pretty fast. Love you guys much and believe what you do is so important. Keep up the awesome work.

  16. Wow, I was waiting for Kenny Rodgers to break out singing “know when to hold um and know when to fold um” LOL!….Also remember Trump said ” I can shot someone on 5th Ave. in N.Y.C. and MY people WILL always stand by me”..Love and Peace, Joe.

      1. Huh. I always thought it was Loggins. He’s my memory image for the 5 of Clubs, and he’s the ‘Kenny’ who normally comes to mind.

  17. Wow! I was waiting for Kenny Rodgers to break out! No when to hold um and know when to fold um! lol!…. Also remember Trump saying “I can shot someone on 5th Ave. in N.Y. and my people WILL always stick by me”…Love and Peace, Joe.

  18. Cenk, if your dad is experiencing sparse fuzzy hair regrowth it is probably because his dihydrotestosterone level is falling as he ages. It’s a common thing for balding men to experience some minor fuzzy hair regrowth late in life.

    Dihydrotestosterone is a metabolite of testosterone that produces permanent changes in some hair follicles of the head, making the hair grow thinner and fall out faster so it turns into peach fuzz like on a woman’s face. Dihydrotestosterone has the opposite effect on facial hair from the eyes down, causing it to thicken and grow longer before it falls.

    Reducing the level of dihydrotestosterone can partially reverse a small amount of that change in the hair follicle, but it will never reverse that change completely because most of the change is permanent.

    Another thing that can regrow hair in men is Proscar prescribed to shrink an overgrown prostate in older men who are having problems urinating. The mechanism of action is inhibition of the testosterone that otherwise stimulates prostatic cell proliferation. Proscar has the same active ingredient that is in Minoxidil, the hair regrowth spray. This ingredient also tends to cause some minor breast tissue milk duct growth in men, as does old age from falling testosterone level too.

    If your dad is also overweight that can have an effect too. Lipid tissue generates a small amount of estrogen that combats the action of testosterone.

    Another thing that can have an effect is Spironilactone. Spiro is a blood pressure medication (actually a diuretic) that reduces the amount of testosterone produced by the adrenal glands while also increasing the amount of urine that the kidneys produce.

    If your mom uses estrogen cream that can also pass to your dad from physical contact. There is a ‘Doc Martin’ episode where a woman induces breast tissue growth in her husband and her playthang on the side too from using excessive amounts of estrogen cream. Estrogen combats the action of testosterone and can cause minor scalp hair regrowth as well, but by that time your dad would have full breasts too.

    My guess is that the hair regrowth has nothing whatsoever to do with the shake. There has never been any proof that diet alone reverses male pattern baldness. Your dad would have to be suffering from severe malnutrition before any form of dietary supplement would improve his hair growth and then it still won’t reverse male pattern baldness in any appreciable way. The most noticeable effect would be improvement of the parts of his hair that did not fall from male pattern baldness.

  19. Hey Ana, I’ve felt like that since the Reagan days. Love you guys. You help me feel like there’s more of us out there and we can support each other. Every evening I catch up on TYT and it helps me deal with Trump. Thanks for everything you all do!!!

  20. Ana, if you’re having problems with high cholesterol, you may want to rethink having eggs in Dogan’s miracle shake. They have almost 200 mg each. Also, salmonella is present in some eggs, so raw is taking a chance. People may say, “I have been having them for years and I haven’t had a problem”, but even a 1% chance isn’t worth potentially your life, is it? Sorry to sound so preachy, but you know how to research, so I’ll leave it there.

    1. The cholesterol you put into your mouth has virtually no relationship to the cholesterol found in your bloodstream.

  21. I saw most of that video and commented, and noticed that EVERYONE making comments live, were all supportive of Ana. During that, there was some passing thoughts like “Hmmm, what if there was an app that brought to your attention only the comments that were live, in real time?” Assuming these were uplifting comments, then maybe we can improve the well-being of media people who just keep getting bombarded with insults and threats. Or an app that measures what types of feedback tends to be positive, or what time of day.

    Then, when the media person is having a particularly bad week, the app will show them only the good stuff, and hopefully cheer them up.

    Those thoughts were discarded quickly, because there was finally an opening to explain to Mrs. Kasparian about some of the strengths she didn’t know she had. About the value that she offers to some of us fans, just by being who she is. I hope she read that, and understood it, and that it will help during moments of depression or feelings of uselessness.

    Christian, thanks so much for being the biggest part of Ana’s life. Ana would know this better than any of us, but I can’t imagine things getting much better for her, if you hadn’t entered the scene. Same thing with my wife – when I project what life would have been like without her in it, I pretty much see a dark cloud, just a meaningless existence. Thanks for being there, for our angel.

    Ana, you mentioned some of those silly arguments way (on Twitter, I think), and as I recall you admitted that you were arguing about nothing really important. You seemed to admit, that it was mainly you being silly. I’m glad it all worked out.

    Regarding the shake, and similar experiences with unique ingredient combinations – I had similar experiences with aloe juice. It didn’t bring any hair back – that was hopeless – but there was a visible difference in how much darker the hair became. However, I also started taking OPC3 around the same time, so maybe it was related to that.

    There was another supplement that seemed to make a difference in energy level for a while, but then leveled off. I still take it, because it seems to have some promise. We’re still waiting for a scientific controlled study. It’s Elysium Basis, if anyone’s interested. I can’t vouch for it, either way.

    Ana, I’m really glad you were ok that day, albeit with Christian’s support. What a horrible depressing day, that ended with the YouTube shooting. How you people handle this day in & day out, without going insane, is beyond me.

    Alright, that’ll do it. I just stopped by a second time this week, because you were discussing that video you made, Ana. Best wishes, always.

    L & R,

    DC.

  23. Setting things on fire is absolutely a good thing in cooking some stuff. It’s why we like grilled food . Example: a sauteed marshmallow is not the same as one stuck on a stick and hung over a campfire. Let them Flambe and quit being a spoilsport. And Anna….fresh quac is awesome. Knowing it was just made adds to the awesomeness of it. Going out to dinner is an EXperience! Suspend your disbelief and buy the illusion. It’s what makes it fun.

  24. Cenk goes from laughing at Alex Jones directly to talking about maybe selling hair regrowth miracle shakes! Cumon son hahaha
