1431: Red Austin

Jimmy Swaggart, Tourette's Syndrome, Ministry Successors

The hosts discuss the physical tics and presentation styles of televangelists, specifically Jimmy Swaggart and his son. They debate whether the son's identical neck and chin twitches are genuine Tourette's syndrome or an artificial imitation of his father's mannerisms. The conversation includes a nostalgic reference to "tits or no tits" games played while channel surfing on Cinemax.
