In Romania, while working from home.
A Romanian councilor was left pretty humiliated when his
camera turned on while he was naked taking a shower.
The meeting Chairman called for
attendance of all the people who were supposed to be a part of the meeting,
supposed to be paying attention and maybe not scrub a dub dubbing.
The Social democratic councilor, Alberto Youssef Korean,
emerged naked and wet from the shower [LAUGH].
Let's watch.
>> [FOREIGN]
[LAUGH]
>> [FOREIGN]
[LAUGH]
>> [FOREIGN]
>> Okay, there's more, I have more
information on this story, but I just want to stop and say I feel this man's pain,
because sometimes when I'm getting ready, and I have an online class,
I put my phone in the corner of the bathroom and take a shower.
And my biggest fear, is that I'm gonna mess up one day and
press the camera button while I'm in the shower.
So, my heart goes out to you sir, [LAUGH] you're living my nightmare.
[LAUGH] >> I mean look,
I got he's living all of our nightmares, of course.
And like that look was the look for all of us where he's like.
[LAUGH] >> Okay, and then I don't speak Romanian,
but like camera.
[LAUGH] >> And he's like.
Turn off the camera.
Man.
See that's why we talked about this in a bonus episode.
We're kidding around.
I never do when we're at home, and I'm doing old school or
any of the other shows.
I always have jeans on, cuz you never know, you never know.
Alright. >> But to be fair, the camera and
I think Ray's right.
Oftentimes a camera slash phone ends up in the bathroom cuz
you're doing something else and you're watching it.
I mean, you know, we go now, we just carry whatever we're watching with us.
And should that camera go on, Cenk, you know, it's game over.
>> You're well, I mean some people [INAUDIBLE].
>> It's game viral.
[LAUGH] >> But mainly it'll,
they'll be greeted by this look.
[LAUGH] >> I can't say on the bright
side of things, at least the camera was only pointed from the waist up,
so it was just a nip slip.
>> He caught a huge break, right?
>> Yeah, big time.
>> Yeah.
>> So the video, obviously they're speaking Romanian, but
I do have like a translation from the Daily Beast as to what he was saying,
part of it, but I can't hang up.
I can't, I apologize profusely.
I have a very bad cold, but I don't know how to hang up.
I connected to the Internet, which I mean we could all sort of imagine was
exactly what he was saying in the video without knowing Romanian.
Anyway, but so this was during a live broadcast of the council.
So let's take a look at the room and how many people are in it.
Just a lot.
That's a lot [LAUGH], quite a few people.
And then let's get this other picture of the chairwoman trying and
failing to not laugh at him.
I mean you'd have to have the strength of a million people to not bust out laughing.
Is this face >> At least the video never left that
room.
Wait. [LAUGH]
>> At least it didn't leave the country.
>> Yeah, brother, I got bad news for you.
You're internationally famous now.
[LAUGH] >> But to his credit, after the incident,
he reappeared on the broadcast fully clothed, and
then he did make a statement on his Facebook.
He said technology still plays tricks.
Unfortunately, Haste has spoken.
I apologize for the unfortunate incident, apologies once again to everyone.
I mean like, I see why you would apologize, but
I mean at the end of the day, it's more of a funny accidental situation that,
you know, in the zoom calls is everybody's worst nightmare.
Only because it was from the waist up genuinely, if it had gone any further,
I think you definitely would have warranted a very strong
apology, >> It wasn't even really Toobin-adjacent
in terms of embarrassment, right?
>> I was just thinking Jeffrey Toobin is watching this going, now it's okay?
[LAUGH] >> Now it's okay.
Okay, he was doing something a little different.
Okay, but anyways, look, Romanian legislator,
I pardon you on behalf of the world, I pardon you.
There, but for the grace of God, go all of us.
Today, we're all Romanians.
[LAUGH] >> I will say when I was looking up about
the story a little bit, I was looking on Twitter, and
I found a bunch of videos of the incident that people recorded on their phones,
cuz like I said, they were broadcasting this meeting live.
So some people in Romania who I guess are just super clued into politics were
watching their version of C span, and without their phones,
they were like, I need to save this for posterity [LAUGH].
Get some likes on Twitter post it.
>> Mission accomplished.
>> Hey, you know what, if you're that guy, you gotta be feeling good.
Your body gots lots and lots of likes.
[LAUGH] >> People saw you naked and
thought, I like.
>> I mean to dodge but to dodge the real damage with that and to make it fun.
He's very lucky.
So lucky.
Yeah, I mean this is the guy, you know, he didn't have to do that.
It's wrong, it's stupid, I'm trying to be a better person.
You know, feeding the homeless guy going to the, remember what Jeffrey Toobin did.
He had to go on that apology tour and he had to go into therapy?
Why, because you didn't know how to work the zoom correctly.
What was the therapy?
I mean, it was a weird, right?
It didn't all strike you as odd.
So this guy at least dodged all of that.
>> [LAUGH] That stupid had other issues.
But I like the idea of having to go to therapy because you don't know how to
press the button therapist say, well it's gonna be okay Cenk.
>> Okay.
>> I mean because you know how bad I am with tech.
It is a minor miracle that this has not happened to me, and but by the way, but
that's why I'm careful.
Like whenever I'm on the phone, whenever I'm doing video, I'm always fully clothed.
Okay, I'm not anywhere near that situation cuz I know what a spouse I am.
Cuz the chance of me having to go camera, it's very high.
>> Well and the camera, by the way,
cameras can all of a sudden how they do that thing where they drop or something.
>> Yeah.
>> Or the phone drops.
Yeah, I think Cenk's right.
It's a word to all of us, yeah.
>> Yeah, if it's going to therapy.
That's right.
>> Yeah, Toobin was the one who went to therapy when it was probably his
co-workers who witnessed that, that were the ones that needed there afterwards.
>> Yeah.
>> By the way that he could get sexed up though,
during a new yorker management meeting, I was impressed by that.
I thought was like Jesus.
He's like, you got any accounting conventions nearby?
>> Just couldn't wait.
>> Alright, anyways, Toobin is a different fact pattern.
He, whether you pardon him is a different question altogether, okay?
But Romanian, dude, you're free to go.
[LAUGH] >> Exonerated.
>> Exonerated.
>> Moving out the world.
Right, and enjoy your video with the rest of the world.
