I enjoy that joke. But Tyson is a sexual predator and abuses women. I'm not a fan.

Edit: Here's some info.

Damn so I wasn't really wrong then... There was one episode of startalk I was watching and he seemed to be awfully touchy feely with his guest, it was pretty awkward to watch.

And Tyson makes sure to point out that the woman who says she'd been drugged and raped by him dropped out of graduate school.

No shit she dropped out, it's really hard to concentrate on graduate studies while dealing with such serious trauma, especially if you're forced to see that classmate/abuser on a near daily basis afterwards

I really can't stand the man, but this is just incredibly disgusting

Yeah I cringe when I see him pop up on online.

Thank you for highlighting this, I always try to let people know as well.

Ty for the info. I wasn't aware.

Seems to be a common problem for you. 🤣
