thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Ah. Dr. Funk Juice, good to see you. Well, we've got some fun stories today. Now they're not the good, exciting stories like Trump stories, but they're pretty good. They're pretty good. Would you like to hear some of them? I know you would. Number one, I have a movie recommendation for you. A documentary c…

All right. Cuomo is up to five accusers if you watch Fox News, and he's up to three accusers if you watch CNN. You can't even get the number of accusers right. Now if you get to three, there should be some sort of a universal law about this. It goes like this: if you get to three accusers, there are five. In the history of sexual harassment, nobody ever stopped at three. Pretty sure. Like if you were accused of one and then no other person came forward, you might say to yourself, well that's a little less credible because do harassers only ever harass one person? But once you get to three, it's gonna go to five. That's like a universal rule.
I tell you my take on all of this, all of these accusations. They seem to fall into this category. Have you noticed that? And the category is — and I'm going to say this. I think I can say this without being racist, I think, but give me a ruling on this. See if this sounds racist to you, okay? What I'm seeing is a creepy old Italian-American guy with no game whatsoever, has no idea how to approach women apparently, but he definitely took advantage of his power. His power differential. Meaning that he didn't directly use it, but it was there, right? It's unambiguously there. So he certainly has to answer for this. I'm not saying anything that sounds like I'm apologizing for it. But we should keep it in perspective, right? Certainly he needs to not be doing this stuff. There's no question about that. But it doesn't feel — it feels like a guy who didn't exactly know what he was doing, doesn't it? Like maybe on some level he did, but it just — there's something a little bit clueless about it that makes it seem different than evil, you know?
If you look at the Epstein charges or the Weinstein charges, Harvey Weinstein, it's obvious that those guys knew exactly what they were doing. I mean they knew they were being deeply bad. No question about it. But I'll bet you if you had a private conversation with Cuomo before these scandals broke and you said, have you ever done anything like this, I think he would have honestly answered no even though he did.

mean the accusations look credible anyway. I feel it's just a weird category where the person doing the crime is not necessarily aware that they're doing a crime, which doesn't make it excusable, right? The system is very clear. You don't have to be aware of it being a crime for it to be a crime. But it should end his political career, which is the only thing anybody cared about really on this. H…
