The TanGent Show

Self-described "jagoff nightclub comedian" Jimmy Dore has well north of 1 million YouTube subscribers. He is one of the most prominent true progressive voices in America. He is also one of the nicest guys in the game and it was super cool of him to come sit down with me in my Burbank studio. This marks the first time I've ever given this long of an introduction as I had that much to say about it. Jimmy made more claims in an hour than I think I've ever heard anyone make in any conversation, podcast or otherwise. And I wanted to provide my perspective as someone who has been following US politics for 30+ years. That all said, I felt I owed it to my more experienced and accomplished guest to allow my (and his) audience to hear him unfiltered. So, though the overall length is daunting, you can cue up to 41:39 to hear all of Jimmy's thoughts. Again, I cannot thank him enough for giving me unfettered access to his mind. Enjoy.

In most American cities, comedian Trae Crowder can sell over 1,000 tickets. He's absolutely killin' the game with his video posts. In January 2024, I shared a stage with him here in Burbank as we both performed with the former Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony. NGL, I did great. But Trae absolutely crushed. So I was honored when he accepted my invitation to come over and answer my questions. Hilarious and insightful, please enjoy my conversation with the self-described Liberal Redneck, Trae Crowder.

Isaac Saul returns to The TanGent Show after a ton more well-deserved success for his platform, Tangle, which has grown to nearly 100K subscribers in the last few months.

Much of that growth was driven by his post about the current Middle East crisis, which got about 14 million views in a few days.

What is Tangle? Four times a week, Isaac takes a political issue, tells you what the Left is saying, what the Right is saying, and then provides his take. Because he also gives a rundown of quick hits from across the political world, it's become my one-stop shop for all things politics.

Because we both felt we had more "meat on the bone" after Ep. 3, we dove into the best ideas to fix the divide in this country, whether Jan 6th was truly an Insurrection, why America may still be a force for good in this world, and a fascinating "What If..."

Enjoy.

I was ecstatic to sit down with journalist Isaac Saul. His newsletter and podcast, Tangle, have become my primary source of news. And that is saying a lot for a news junkie like me.

I found him truly to be politically up the middle. And since I toured a political show called The Man in The Middle, his takes in this episode resonated deeply with me.

We covered many questions including the political makeup of his ever-increasing audience, what kind of praise he finds the most meaningful, what kind of criticism drives him crazy, which part of the process feels like work, which party is doing the most to help (and hurt) the average American, whether Donald Trump's supporters really believe he can fix the country, and more.

But we started with, "Why did you name your show Tangle?" Enjoy.
