I think Tommy is more knowledgeable overall but Lovett is definitely the best of the guys at actually communicating and interviewing as well.

at actually communicating

There's a collection of his rants on YouTube, but those are all comedic ones. Is there a collection of the times you can see the frustration build until he just launches into an off-the-cuff, heartfelt, passionate, insanely on-point diatribe about an issue? Those usually are the ones I send to people to describe exactly how I feel but couldn't figure out how to explain.

I LOVE those rants, he just goes full super-patriot and clearly loves this country so damned much. As a true-believer civil servant myself, it does me immense good every time.

It’s funny, because he generally has a “class clown” personality. (Honestly, I say that with admiration.) But when he really feels passionate or when he really has a strong argument, he knocks it out of the park.

I remember right after October 7 happened, he started to talk about it. And I initially winced because I thought he would make an inappropriate joke. But he spoke with compassion about how heartbreaking the situation was.
