What Is Testicle Tanning? Tucker Carlson’s Strange Solution In Fox News' 'The End of Men'

Fox News host Tucker Carlson delivered one of his most outlandish takes yet on a recent episode of his Fox National original series, "The End of Men." The conservative broadcaster endorsed what guest and fitness expert Andrew McGovern calls "bromeopathy," or what Carlson repeatedly calls "testicle tanning."

In an episode with guests McGovern and singer-songwriter Kid Rock, the men discuss bromeopathy as a method to increase testosterone levels. Carlson's series centers on the decline of manliness, how men's testosterone levels are declining and manhood is evaporating with the rise of progressive politics. The series seeks solutions to tackle the problem and define what makes men "manly."

An ad for the series features ripped men standing in front of a red light tanning machine naked in what appears to be a demonstration of the technique.

Rolling Stone noted how Carlson acknowledges the absurdity of his claims, saying, "half the viewers right now are like, 'What? Testicle tanning? That's crazy!'"

However, Carlson's concern is that "testosterone levels have crashed and nobody says anything about it. That's crazy. So why is it crazy to seek solutions?"

McGovern says that there are potential benefits of red light therapy and full body tanning. "It's not crazy to seek solutions," McGovern tells Carloson.

Kid Rock had a more extreme reaction to Carlson's theory.

"Dude, stop, testicle tanning come on," Rock first says.

"Open your mind, Bobby," Carlson says with a chuckle to Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Richie. The musician is also known as "Bobby Shazam."

"I don’t know what the hell is going on in this world . . . Some days I just want to stop this planet and get off," Rock said.

Carlson came out with another Fox Nation original docuseries series last year called "Patriot Purge" which promoted the conspiracy theory that the Capitol Riot on Jan. 6, 2021, was a false flag attack. The release of the special caused two Fox News hosts to resign.

This latest bit that has gone viral on Twitter may be a bit of outrage farming by Carlson and Fox News designed to get people to watch or click because the claims being made are so absurd.

Some reactions to the ad for the docuseries by social media users noted that it was slightly "homoerotic."

Of course, there are some, including the Lincoln Project, that quickly seized on the opportunity to mock Carlson's most recent claims.
