Ronan Farrow did something that very few normal human beings have done in their life time. He has changed the world unknowingly for good. I am not American but live in other hemisphere and have worked under bully bosses(men and women) here bosses were allowed to get away with almost anything as it was work culture. But it has changed, policy is changed where now bosses can't bully their workers. It has brought great degree of equality and uniformity without any compromise on productivity.
Excellent point, Arjun.
He’s a good journalist but did he actually change anything concrete in the business world and how employees are treated?
@@EastSide-qc5oy yep, company policy talks about bullying and how to identify it and report it. There was nothing like that before. There is a good chance that companies won't take action against bad managers but they are afraid of social media backlash. A good example comes to mind was when a list of bad managers and their deeds was getting circulated and number of "victims" stating their stories. HR started to take note and some managers were fired or sent to training. Granted top managers are exempt but needle was moved in right direction
The better you’re treated the more work gets accomplished
this guy is an American Hero , and true patriot .... period
Absolutely. Very well said.
they should call this "the fuck eyes podcast" seriously lady: TAKE A COLD SHOWER
Amen dude Amen
@Loafy are u sure u're not just halfmoron?
@@matthewchunk3689 That's plain admiration, he clearly plays for the other team, he's quite younger and she's stated she likes very manly men (aka nor younger, nor gay).
We need a weekly Ronan & Whitney series. This was a fantastic pod/interview.
It was one of her weaker podcasts
@@august6389 You must be trying to be ironic, Jimmie...this was a highlight of the decade in terms of podcasts.
@@alanblanes2876 wasn't trying to hurt your feelings
@@august6389 Could you elaborate what you mean by weaker podcast? They raised very important questions about victim shaming, how predators behave and also specifically discussing Ronan's wonderful book. It was a very important conversation from my POV.
No lady we do NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ronan making the point regarding predators targeting already vulnerable women is an important one to make regarding sexual assault.
Predators target those who they sense weakness in.
And in the case of sexual assault, the justice system and society at large ignores and vilifies them because they're not perfect.
It's exactly this mentality that prevents women from contacting law enforcement after rape because they don't want their entire life combed through and put under the microscope.
they do, men just don`t care.
Feminists do speak out about those issues. My question is when are men going to? Why is it always women that are expected to speak out regarding these types of issues? If you want these types of issues highlighted, why aren't men talking about them?
Is it maybe because men only publicly highlight the sexual abuse of boys to derail conversations of female sexual violence?
@Trevor Sedis Feminists do speak out about the way the media trivializes female teachers preying upon male students. It may interest you to know that the pushback we get is always from men who tell us to shut up because those students were "lucky" or that boys aren't traumatized by sexual assault. It's heart-breaking to see.
True investigative reporting is a dying art, probably because so many of these stories get squashed in the same way they tried with Farrow. I'm glad Farrow has had the guts and means to keep going with his reporting.
It already died. Ronan is bringing back true investigative reporting. THIS IS ONE OF MANY MANY REASONS HE HAS WON MY ADMIRATION.
I believe The New Yorker deserves some serious credit for backing Ronan.
@@Bamboo4U2 Very much so. The New Yorker is to be commended as well.
@Kyle Snyder I fail to see how your comment is not consistent with Molly's post.
@@mollyhannah2003 The New Yorker is a highlight of contemporary media. We seldom see that quality in recent decades.
I fully expect Jon Lovett and Ronin Farrow to be running this country within the next 25 years. What a power couple.
Jon Lovett? What's he up to I love him
@@Wills4gottenbday from Pod save America, not the old comedian. That's Jon Lovitz
I could ‘vibe’ listeners mistaking Lovitz for Lovett...could you imagine lol
I for one welcome our new overlords.
From your mouth to Gods ears...but ten years please!
This guy is so brave. His work is amazing
i’m reading his book right now. it’s fantastic. he is a great reporter
is this THE fathoodb1tch ?? I did not expect to see you here. Happy Holidays icon
I read it in a day. great book.
Love the audible version of the book. He is such a talented voice actor.
"When can we just say that Woody Allen movies are not that good?"
THANK YOU!!! I've been screaming this for years.
KeepingAngelaBaker maybe you’re just dumb 😑 Dumb people often think people who like things that they themselves don’t understand are faking it
@@Ryan599187 I'm smart enough to know you're not worth engaging with.
KeepingAngelaBaker wise move. Guess you’re smarter then I thought dum dum
Most of his films are great
Wait, that wasn’t a joke?
Whitney you’re killing it!! So much substance, SO interesting, entertaining. Loving it
Agreed.
Excellent podcast episode Whitney. Ronan is an excellent guest
Darren Wells Agreed!
This guy is a badass.
His book was life changing. Wonderful podcast ❤️ Thank you Ronan for soliciting change all over the world.
I love listening to someone who can approach things objectively. I loved this conversation. Definitely looking into his work now.
Ronan is smart articulate and brave. And very handsome.💁
Matthew Horizon
Your comment shows you’re a huge ass hole.
John Lovett is a lucky man.
Well, it helps that he's not actually Woody Allen's son. LOL.
@Sekena McMurren The same can be said about Harvey Weinstein.
Whoa. This should be a good one. She's coming with some heavy hitters.
Heaviest tits in the game.
Lively and intelligent discussion.
Listening to this podcast and this specific episode has truly been an enriching experience .. solid points .. so eye opening .. not only the whole story but these small details about what happened and how things can go wrong and then be twisted ..
Also Ronan is a hero .. not just a national treasure but a true hero of humankind ..
To pursue journalistic instincts and standing by the so called unstable people - giving them not justice but a voice ! .. so damn brave
Thank you so much Whitney for this ..
Ronan is so grounded and sensitive! I love how he is able to dig into the various facets of social phenomena. That's professionalism and awareness.
Love the Crooked Media guys and was a big fan of Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill Podcast (my first real exposure to him) and now Whitney Cummings! It feels like my cup runneth over with bright and insightful people helping me get through one more day of trumpmegalomania! They should all get together for a Podcast - maybe call it The Antidote.
Just bought the books! Thanks Whitney for having him on😄
Great content.This is the most interesting and informative podcast I have ever listened to. Thank you.
I am reading his book and am struck with how completely beautiful Ronan is inside and out. What an amazing, smart and funny man.
I love the friendship you share.
This guy is really well spoken
"You wouldn't say that if he was white!"
In all seriousness, hes one of the most well reknown investigative journalists in the US, did you expect him to start spittin' bars?
Matthew Horizon and youre insufferable
@@ActiveServo12
As insufferable as your moronic statement?
@@matthewhorizon6050 No no no, i don't mean insufferable because of your comment, i mean everyday, all the time, always in your own personal daily life with those around you.
He graduated college at 15 lol
Holy shit Shiloh Jolie is an amazing casting for Ronan
Ronan is so so amazing; brilliant show, thanks Whitney and team. Also, was great hearing the shout out to Pakistan :) It really is quite beautiful, especially the northern areas.
For some reason Whitney's really good at bringing out how funny Ronan can be when speaking. It's there a lot in his writing I think but isn't always performatively. Trying to understand what it is about what she's doing that creates that space for him...
Just listened to Ambra's story on Ronan's podcast, this is an amazing story, so eloquently done by Ronan! I admire him and the all the courageous ladies. Wish there were people like him in Canada!
Absolutely, Playhouse. The closest we get to Ronan's willingness to blow the lid off systemic corruption is the work of Erica Johnson and the CBC Go Public team. I have never seen a more explosive story than this, about staff at banks and investment dealerships rebelling about having to commit crimes against their clients. The 4500 pieces of evidence of criminal abuse of clients were submitted to the Finance Committee of the House of Commons on June 4, 2017, and the Minister of Finance has been stalling about doing anything about it ever since. Ronan's willingness to look at the layer upon layer of denial of proper adjudication of examples of denial of justice is just the beginning of the world being able to start facing this outrageous problem: www.cbc.ca/news/business/financial-industry-employees-forge-documents-more-often-than-you-d-think-1.4138212
Thanks for the info Alan!
I think I have 4500 pieces of evidence against the doctors that have done everything possible to silence me about being hurt during a c-section
@@PlayhouseToys You are more than welcome, Playhouse Toys. I have learned a lot and made a lot of valuable connections over the past 2 years and it is due to Ronan being willing to face this complex and tragic derailment of justice mechanisms. I hope everyone begins to see how collaboration in things like #SDG16 can enable the world to say 'enough' to all this evil dehumanization. #InstitutionalBetrayal
@@PlayhouseToys It is essential that anything that can be made public on mistreatment of patients be shared. I am involved on Twitter with the #SDG3 efforts - and Dr. Umesh Prabhu in the UK is one of the main leaders of upgrading universal health care for wellbeing as one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Your information has to be put into a battery of evidence and must be able to achieve massive public support.
thank you Whitney for this episode
AWESOME interview. Entertaining and informative. So uplifting listening to these two intelligent, funny, good people. Same high caliber of human as Andrew Yang :)
Love Ronan Farrow. Listening to his book and podcast and love following Whitney and Benton!
You're an amazing interviewer and conversationalist, Whitney!! ♡
Ronan’s podcast is amazing. I listened to all episodes after watching this, I highly recommend you go listen.
I did once but i realised he lies about a lot of things.
I can't really trust him anymore
@@august6389 Ronan is the antithesis of a liar, Jimmie. The name 'Ronan' could become synonymous with accuracy in reporting.
@@alanblanes2876 it's a shame he lies but i guess a lot of bloggers do nowadays
@@august6389 Saying "Ronan lies" is a pretty cheap and transparent way of ginning up fake propaganda, Jimmie. No one has more dedicated and skilled fact checkers than Ronan, so you had better understand that you'll have to come up with evidence for your assertion, otherwise it's nothing more than a smear.
@@alanblanes2876 now you're lying lol you people are disgusting
This was amazing! I ordered his book before the podcast had even finished
Whitney engaging and conversing is even better than her stand-up (which is top-notch.) And (obviously) she'll tackle any topic. It is good to have fearless and bright voices out there! (That includes Ronan too!)
I didn't know who this guest was. Looked him up. Then I'm like "Ok that's why Whitney is wearing such a nice blouse"
Not for nothing but...when I watched the video I was wondering why she was wearing the same blouse my mom wore back in 1983. I don't know...maybe it was 1987.
These episodes keep getting better and better. Ronan is amazing! And this entire interview is great.
I also appreciate the Woody Allen/ washing your hands of him and finally being cancelled. Bye Woody Allen. I’ve also never seen any of his movies and I’m so happy about that. It’s a shining moment in my life. 🤗
I thought I was the only one that never saw a Woody Allen movie.
Damn. Can we take a moment to recognize Whitney’s vocabulary?! Wow.
Truth time - I had to look up "ameliorate"
What a great guest! I'm hooked.
Thank you Whitney for speaking the truth most of us know about Woody Allen movies! They are not the great pieces of art Hollywood wants the audience to believe. Thank you again Whitney! 1 in 4 is generous.
I just finished the audiobook narrated by Ronan...priceless!
Ronan is gorgeous!
Well, it helps that he's not actually Woody Allen's son. LOL.
Loved this interview! I love Ronan! Such a great human being❤
Whitney, u were fantastic in this interview. Love your style 👏👏👏
It bothers me that it takes a brave class traitor to reveal this. If Ronan had feared the loss of his job, we wouldn't have heard the truth.
Thank you, Mr Farrow.
I could listen to him speak all day
He's always pretty, but DAMN. (The intelligent, charming, articulate, and just a good person goes without saying.)
Whitney, you're such a beautiful soul! Lot's of love from Brazil!
Amazing interview!
I'm sorry WHAAAAT!? How'd you get Ronan Farrow! Great job, Whitney!
I go from Getting Doug With High to this....your podcast is always great thing to listen to while happily baked.
The Hash Dude Her podcast is one of a kind. I hope she sticks around for a long time
@@Leo-yn5fx No it fkin isn't you pleb
Every time the intro plays I feel like I’m starting a Mario kart race
This made me lol. Too real
Wow - what an interview!
Powerful! Loved this!
"Cancelled. I'm good. Yuck." Lmao
Dude as a kid my mom was a woody Allen fan and I just hated them lol thought it was creepy af then was shocked when I learned later about the allegations made against him.
@@jasminemason1174 I'm a Woody Allen fan
Last three movies of Woody's. Acquired w/o permission no credit given actually stolen. He has time to make it right. Beat sheets
Just go for 5grand. Seriously he's no God.
This guy, there is so much craft involved...😁
one of my fav ronan interviews. super interesting, thank you!
Ronan is such a gift. Incredible reporter, stupidly handsome, naturally funny.
I have no interest in the ads at the beginning but you guys are so darn entertaining I have to listen 😂 love this podcast Whitney, thanks for bringing joy and wisdom during this shitty pandemic
SO INTELLIGENT. I feel fed!!!
👍👍
“These books will get you laid, ...consentually.” 😂🤣
excellent interview. i like this kind of podcast, cheers whitney!
“Maybe too close to home though” didn’t get noticed, but ah... quite a statement!
ronan is the chosen one
The Me Too movement is basically saying We should not be walking on egg shells around Predators; They should be walking on egg shells around Us. I love this man
The resonance of Sinatra's pipes is undeniably apparent..
I loved every second of this interview! Great job Whit!
Yes!!! I have boycotted Woody Allen’s movies, since I became aware of his grossness, circa 1998 (in my case). Just don’t give any money to these creeps by going to see their movie or even streaming them! Let’s be consistent in our values, ya know.
An investigative journalist that has the mafia at his back... Frank Sinatra’s greatest accomplishment.
Very interesting perspective! Maybe that does have some validity in regards to his protection!
Bobby W, stop making comments while under mushroom influence, as well as those who did 👍
@@alexv259 Do some research…
Frank Sinatra has to be his father.
"Elephant in the living room" lol
This was such a great podcast.
Michael Pitt is a great call... would actually be a perfect Ronan for dramatic reenactment
cmz8706 I prefer Shiloh Pitt
Matt Czuchry would be a good actor to play Ronan similar looks and a good actor.
Thanks, Whitney! Thanks, Ronan! 🎧
Intelligent dialogue. Thank you!
Whitney should have Natasha Leggero, Jen Kirkman and Chelsea Handler on the show. They were great on Chelsea Lately.
I loved this episode so much, I listened to it and now I’m watching it. Cannot wait to read both of his books!
My favorite Good for You episode so far!
We’re not commenting on “elf in the living room”??
@@sloane6362 @40:10
I caught that too...and thought I misheard her say elephant. Glad I'm not the only one.
Great interview
8 Great episodes. Must watch podcast! Please bring Nardwuar on a future podcast. I loved when he interviewed you and would like to see the roles reversed.
This episode makes me see Whitney in a whole new light...
GOOD podcast episode.
How have I not watched you before? Judging just from this video, you're an amazing host
He's so young and so smart already-i guess good genes ( idk about the Sinatra resemblance) , but i see his mom's caring work in him. I bought the audio book . Shame on you NBC !
u can totally see sinatras genes. u definitely dont see woody allen's
are u blind? lol
@@jeffbriggs1987 No just a lawyers kid we tend to be skeptics and i do remember Mia saying he may be Sinatra's kid , but i remember many New Yorkers feeling that she was so( rightly) mad at Woody , that even the Dylan allegation came from that anger. I seen Dylan confirm the allegation as an adult so...who knows? Its hard to believe he never went to jail.
Mia said she doesn't know who Ronans father is because she slept around
@@wilderjai he looks EXACTLY HOW U WOULD EXPECT MIA AND FRANK'S SON TO LOOK/ OPEN.. IM SORRY... OPEN YOUR EYES.
I love this fucking podcast so much.
Love it, such good content.
So THAT'S Ronan Farrow. I thought he was an old guy. I've heard of him for a while now but had no clue what he looked like.
great cast thanks
A great podcast.
Love love LOVE both of you! ❤❤
Great interview. Could've been longer.
Hi Whitney, happy new year's!
You have an excellent vocabulary whitney. Very entertaining and funny as well.
Excellent time well spent before I die!
41:27 lmao what happen there
I thought the same! 🤣
LOL did a spirit take over her body??
Amazing and brave human being!
Great podcast, Whitney! ♡
"whitney how's your sushi" hahahhaha
Ugh I love Whitney this was a great one!
Ronan on Rogan
Came here to comment exactly that. Well played sir
Rogan will get to the truth and make Ronan feel uncomfortable
@@august6389 You like to be presumptive and immaterial, don't you, Jimmie?
@@alanblanes2876 chin up little guy
