222 - But The Pope Is An American 45:16

11 hours ago45:16

45:16

This past weekend we celebrated our Mothers. While they are the most important people in the world to most, to Catholics around the world the selection of a new Pope also ranks up there in importance. White smoke was seen at The Vatican and we have ourselves a new pontiff and this one came with a curveball too as he’s from right here in America. That’s right, Bob from Chicago is the new Pope. A statement we’re bound to get a lot of mileage from.

221 - The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 55:20

55:20

Lewis has returned from some shows performed at his Alma Mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Was it a fun visit for nostalgia trip? Or, as he put it, might’ve been an acid flashback. But while Lewis had all the intentions about talking about performing at his college longer, the news of the day needed to be addressed and boy is there a lot – from The Boss’s declaration for everyone to have to tighten their doll and pencil budgets, how AI might be picking a new Pope, or a “necessary” military parade? It has us all harkening back to simpler times, perhaps when we were in college and just having a great time without much a care in the world.

220 - STOP! 46:24

46:24

There are no pleases here, just a hard statement of STOP! A simple request that Lewis makes on behalf of all of us. Whether it be another Signalgate, more silliness out of the mouths of public health officials, the Pope passing away, oh yeah and remember George Santos? He finally faced justice. It’s all too much, so just STOP!

Lewis is back from Georgia where he held his invitational golf outing and has some people to thank for their work in making it all happen and the people at the Luv U Project who work day in and day out to better assist people’s mental health. But as soon as he’s back from a couple day sabbatical, the nonsense of the news has returned.

217 - Sure, Why Not? 52:52

52:52

There’s a joke in there somewhere but Lewis can’t seem to find the setup to start it. It’s so psychotic in real life that you need to be even more psychotic to write the setup for the joke. Why the title? Well that's mostly because when you can't seem to wrap your head around what's happening, you say "sure, why not?"

Like many Lewis has something to look forward to this week because baseball is back and he has a full season of watching the Baltimore Orioles to distract him from the madness of life. Which, as the title of this week's Rantcast, seem to be coming at us at the pace of at least once daily. From Signalgate to the FDA. Are things getting too woke for you? Then ban all the words! Graduate students are disappearing from our streets and a New Jersey lady needs her emotional support chickens. But hey! At least we now know that when things get dicey you can now order armed protection as easy as you can hail a rideshare. This week's rants come to us from Canada. Lewis just wrapped a run up North and Canadians have even more things to rant about.

Lewis has returned from a run of dates up north in Canada. Tariffs be damned. He reflects on his week up there and how it was against the backdrop of our administration’s current actions against our longtime neighbor up North. Lewis’ most-recent tour stops being Florida and Canada allow him to identify the differences between the two audiences.

214 - He’s Not The President, He’s The Boss 55:13

55:13

It’s another week of us trying to make sense of the world around us. Turns out it’s a tough task. Lewis hit the road for the first time in a while and with that involves Lewis shaking the rust and remembering his act and parts he wants to add. During this process it’s also important to stay off Twitter as the feedback can be tough on one’s mental health. Meanwhile protests have popped up pretty much everywhere you can think of just in time for the Democrats not being able to form a unified front. Their first failure at the wrong time.

It’s time for part 2. Lewis finds himself still in the train of thought as last week, just truly baffled by recent events. And since things are a nonstop firehose of bullshit, there’s even more to break down. The Washington Post takes heat for boneheaded decisions and what exactly went down in the Oval Office when Zelenskyy visited? ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

50:22

This week Lewis has so much to cover that it’s a 2-parter! Our current state of affairs has us all having the collective experience of living what one person’s idea of reality is. Whether it be terrible cabinet picks or the mess that mass layoffs are causing, there just doesn't seem to be enough oxygen (or air) in the room, because we only get to breathe the King's oxygen.. While in the past we might’ve taken ourselves out into the woods and yell at trees at the top of our lungs, it’s cold outside so instead Lewis is using the Rantcast as an opportunity to wonder out loud, "what the actual hell is going on?" ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

211 - How Crazy Can Crazy Get? 52:27

12 weeks ago52:27

52:27

Things are getting crazy out there and not just our current political climate. Lewis was reminded of that this week when the fairly simple task of getting a new computer was met with the corporate machinations of not 1 but 2 different organizations pissing him off. The frustration grew when Uber Eats got involved, yes you read that correctly Uber Eats. It’s a wild tale of one man trying is best to not lose his mind as he navigates the ins and outs of companies wanting to help, but for some reason just can’t seem to utilize logic at every turn. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

210 - Idiot's Delight 57:09

13 weeks ago57:09

57:09

Lewis has always liked the title of the play Idiot’s Delight and it certainly seems to be describing the times that we are currently in. As the world spent a collective moment watching The Super Bowl this weekend, Lewis has a message for the NFL and its almighty self-importance. Big game aside, each passing day seems to sound a red alert in our nation’s capital and though he might be able to give our Leader credit for one thing, that good will is dashed almost immediately with bad cabinet choices, dismantling of agencies, and the proposal to put his face on Mt. Rushmore? While the GOP get’s its fair share of “Fuck You’s” this week, Lewis has some for the Dems as well. All in a week’s work. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that one of our longer rants of the week are about bidets and the need to keep your ass clean. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

14 weeks ago54:16

54:16

Chaos, it seems to be all around us these days and its pretty much the last thing Lewis wants to talk about though he feel compelled to. Chaos is the feature of this administration and our Leader it at its center. From unfathomable Executive Orders to cabinet members without any sort of qualifications for the job they’re being nominated for. And just when you think it could not get much worse, we get unspeakable tragedies like the DC plane crash and totally botched response. But we are not alone, as this week’s rants can attest to there are plenty of people out there who might just be feeling the same. It’s one week at a time and as suggested last week, we have our next distraction coming up with the Super Bowl on the horizon. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.
