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.

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.

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.

It’s the time of year where Lewis realizes just how smart bears are for just shutting it down for the winter. Commanders because his favorite football team made a fantastic run this season and almost made it to the big game. Now if they can just do something about their name. Oh, and the team's former owner sucks.

Many might find it funny, but the joke is on us as a new president begins his term. The punchlines seem to write themselves even before Lewis can make the joke. Bad executive orders are a joke, the cabinet is a joke, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, buying Greenland? The punchlines write themselves! Essentially we’ve lost the laughter and have stopped laughing. As a comedian or not, its probably a bad thing.

As Lewis records his first Rantcast episode of 2025 on January 6th, he’s reminded of where we were 4 years ago on this day. Over the years the US has seen its fair share of political unrest, so comparisons become quite inevitable. Right now it seems like people are at odds because the reality of what even occurred that day continues to to be in question. That “reality” alone might just be the lasting impression of what happened back in 2020. And the problems still

persist as we grapple with continued homegrown terrorism with the most recent attacks that occurred in New Orleans and in Las Vegas.

The unfortunate end to everything that’s happened to us since Columbine is the evidentiality that we are just filling the calendar with all the traumas we’ve experienced as a society. Just celebrations of all the pain broken down by the days of the year.

It's the last Rantcast of 2024. Well, technically the first of 2025 and a recap of the year that just wrapped is in order. The difference here is that it's been done before, so the essence of the message is to wish you well for the new year.

It's December 25th and it's not only Christmas Day but the first day of Hanukkah. Something that doesn't happen often. In fact, it's so rare that all the drones tormenting New Jersey stopped flying apparently. Must be clearing the path for Santa.

Lewis reflects on the closing of the West Bank Cafe in New York. After 40+ years his friend and owner Steve Olsen is closing the location. The West Bank is a performance space where Lewis began his career on stage. He tells the story about how he began there as an aspiring playwright performing plays and his evolution to a stand-up comedian because of the space Steve fostered for creative types to perform.

As a special treat this podcast includes a brief performance from Lewis at the West Bank on New Year's Even 2014 where he brought in the new year by celebrating Olsen and Rand Foerster and the club.

End of an era indeed.
