Welcome to The Dangerous Ones
The Teal and Orange Report is the official Substack of The Dangerous Ones - a new media venture from the creators of Eleven Films and DemCast!
The Dangerous Ones is an epic new collaboration between Jim and Tiffany Drastic of Eleven Films and Nick Knudsen of DemCast.
AND ALL OF YOU.
The Dangerous Ones Show will debut on YouTube on Thursday, January 30th. Please subscribe to our channel. It helps us out a lot! Jim, Tiffany and Nick will sit down for a weekly analysis of news and culture from their new studio in the Creative Arts District in Portland, Oregon.
But the weekly show is just where the fun begins.
Through this Substack, The Teal and Orange Report, we’ll be releasing sneak previews, extras, bloopers, expert analysis, behind-the-scenes footage, long-form interviews and more - both in written and video format!
This is not going to be your typical newsy Substack. It’s going to be more of an EXPERIENCE.
There will be swearing (sorry mom). There will be non-sequiturs, belly laughs, distraught tears, rabbit holes, expert analysis, non-expert analysis, audience interaction…
This will be a REAL community. Truly. That is our goal.
The Promo
Ok… so who are these jokers anyway? Well… here you go:
The Mission
OK - so you’re like: “Is this a comedy show or a news podcast or a content stream or a release valve for all of my existential fears or a community?”
Yes.
We aim to bring you CONSTANT content that informs you about what’s happening in the Trump Administration and the world while also not overloading your soul with fire and brimstone.
We know the next few years are going to be rough. We’ve been in the trenches with all of you as pro-democracy activists for years.
We’re creating this Dangerous Ones community to get into some Good Trouble (Rest in Power, John Lewis!) with all of you as we oppose the incoming fascist regime, while also preserving and celebrating our humanity.
And your voices will be front and center! In addition to hosting live Q&A here in Substack, we’ve opened up The People’s Hotline so that you can leave us your takes, ask questions and vent. We will listen to EVERYTHING and use a bunch of it on the show!
Subscription
While the main show and some of the extras will be available to all our free subscribers, a good chunk of content will be paywalled for our paid subscribers.
Why?
Because we’re not billionaire-backed or seed-funded. We just decided to drop a shit-ton of money on kickass video equipment and a unique studio space so that we could deliver the BEST content to you. So we’re hoping that folks who appreciate what we’re up to will help us keep the lights on!
Trust us, the extra paywalled content will be worth it. And through February, we’re offering a discounted rate of $6/month or $60/year! On March 1st, that will go up so jump in now. :)

Very excited for your new venture and now I can see you on all social media, video and podcasts and Substack. It’s almost like you’re never going to leave me alone, and I’m pretty damn OK with that. 👍🏼😊
