Tucker Carlson transitioning into a middle-aged dudebro is an inspiration for GenXers across all of the United States of the Americas. A lot of attention is paid to the Tucker who owns the libs and repeats silly MAGA talking points. I'm a fan of the Tucker who, as he has gotten older, finds himself with less and less f*cks to give. The Tucker who makes sex jokes with Theo Von, gives Alex Jones enough wine so that he prank calls Brian Stelter, and who pals around with the Nelk Boys. As someone who grew up with stuffy bow-tie Tucker, I'm more down with this dude.

Tucker's friendship with the Nelk Boys paid off this Christmas. Knowing Carlson is such a huge fan of Zyn, they gave him the biggest Zyn tin they could find. It required a helicopter.

I don't get the Zyn thing. I've also only smoked a total of five cigarettes in my life. Well, five tobacco cigarettes, anyway. It still feels weird that pot is mostly legal now.

Zyn's a pouch you can chew on to get your nicotine fix without having to smoke cigarettes or look like a douche vaping. Give it a month or two before those annoying "Truth" commercials come after it. If you can get your nic fix and I don't have to smell every cig you smoked that week when I stand next to you, I say God bless.

The funny thing about the bromance between Tucker and Nelk is that it was the Full Send Podcast this year where Tucker first hinted he might not be long for the cable news world. It got buried because it was the same podcast as the alien thing. But Carlson opined on his role as a cog in the machine:

I've spent my whole life in the media. My dad was in the media. A big part of the revelation that's changed my life is that the media is a big part of the control apparatus [...] [I] spent my whole life in that world. And to look around and realize not only are they part of the problem, but I spent most of MY life being part of the problem.

A few months later, he split from Fox News, and Tucker on X was born. Now, with Twitter and free speech platforms like Rumble available, Carlson, free from cable news, is going to make for a very interesting 2024.
