Tucker Carlson Goes Nuts For 'Testicle Tanning' And The Internet Has Questions
Tucker Carlson, who recently came under fire for the homoerotic nature of the trailer for his upcoming “documentary,” which highlights the alleged collapse of testosterone levels in men, is under scrutiny again.
In a short clip, Carlson’s guest, Andrew McGovern, said, “If you want to optimize and take it [your testosterone] to another level, expose yourself to red light therapy”:

Carlton then asked McGovern if he’s referring to “testicle tanning.”
“It’s testicle tanning, but it’s also full body red light therapy,” McGovern replied.
Kid Rock, who visited the show after McGovern’s appearance, didn’t look like he’d be jumping on the trend any time soon. The rock performer cringed at the mention of the phrase “testicle tanning” when Carlson attempted to persuade him about the process:

McGovern claims “testicle tanning” has a “massive amount of benefits,” and called the approach “bromeopathic,” but viewers were skeptical:
Testicles need to be four degrees cooler than the body’s temperature to make healthy sperm. Heating them up makes absolutely no sense.

Let me guess, there's no peer reviewed science backing up this man's wild claims on Tucker Carlson's show about testicle tanning.
