Cenk Uygur is a political commentator, former attorney and founder of The Young Turks,.
The dust has settled after the US election, so what is the post-mortem? As the founder of the biggest Left-leaning show in the world, why does Cenk have so many problems with the way the Left is constructed right now, and how can they improve?
Expect to learn if Joe Rogan is more credible than The View, if Elon will give Cenk the resources to run the Pentagon’s budget, whether it's possible for the left to start working collaboratively with Republicans, if the election was more of a right wing victory or a left wing loss, how big of a deal wokeism was in turning the tides of the election and much more...

Life Lessons From A Modern Cowboy - Dry Creek Dewayne - #869
November 25, 2024
•115m
Dewayne Noel is a wrangler, cowboy, educator, and founder of Dry Creek Wrangler School.
Hustle culture often tells us that working harder is the only way to succeed—grinding through 80-hour weeks on 4 hours of sleep per night. But what if the real solution isn’t about working harder, but finding balance? What if true success lies in slowing down, savouring life, smoking a cigar on the porch occasionally and being fully present. How differently might we define success then?
Expect to learn who Dry Creek Dewayne’s is, his backstory and upbringing, how to un-harden yourself, how any person can overcome & control their anger, what Dewayne has learned from working with horses, the dangers of being out of balance in work & life, how to have a better relationship with the voice in your head, how to find the right partner & why men need to learn to treat women better, why bad fathers are partly to blame for the downfall of America’s culture, what a day in the life of Dewayne’s life is like and much more....
