26. Testosterone Supplements: Summoning the Specter of Tucker Carlson


Listen Later

I wasn’t expecting the New York Jets vs. the New York Giants game last month to trigger a traumatic flashback. A commercial for Nugenix’s “total testosterone-boosting formula” appeared during half-time, sending me spiraling through space-time to April 2022. It was the day Tucker Carlson’s documentary The End of Men received its inaugural trailer. The Fox Nation special, written and starring the network’s former news host, is a homoerotic jaunt through an alternative reality where low testosterone is the cause of America’s imminent decline and testicle tanning with infrared light is the solution.
