Lewis Black's Rantcast

Being born and raised in the greater Baltimore area, the news on the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse elicits Lewis laments on how it should be repaired. It also appears the level of satire have reached an all-time high between Donald Trump deciding to become a bible salesman and Alabama doing away with diversity programs in its universities. But it doesn’t end there as the Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments over mifepristone and it just reminds Lewis that being a lawyer can sometimes make your head spin. To top it all off, A.I. is manifesting itself in unlikely ways. It’s a wild week of headlines, luckily for us all Lewis Black is here to guide us through it all like a beacon of light.

How's your bracket doing? The NCAA College Basketball tournament is Lewis' favorite sporting event of the year. It also serves as a good distraction from the lunacy of the day. A Spring that doesn't seem to have sprung yet. An election cycle that goes on and on. A former President's many, many days in court. Boeing's continued lack of quality control, and perhaps most traumatizing... the discontinuation of dollar hot dog night in Philly.

RANT #1 – Michael Franke believes in the art of the argument.

RANT #2 – Walter Newcomb takes issue with mispronouncing words.

RANT #3 – Ginger Dowtle is PISSED about immigration, government, infrastructure, you name it.

RANT #4 – Greg Jones is enraged about Global Warming.

RANT #5 – Martino Emilo believes lawmakers have let our children down.

RANT #6 – Noah Allen wonders how a President can divide a country.

RANT #7 – Nancy Schulman believes we should regulate sperm.

Does anybody really care?

Well, we turned the clocks forward an hour and with it comes the annual debate about whether Daylight Savings time is a good idea or not. With both sides of the argument pulling their annual selective amnesia about the event. March also marks the start of The NCAA College Basketball Tournament which brings both great joy and a great distraction to Lewis. From what? Well, take your pick – could be GOP’s wild response to the State of the Union, Missouri finally realizing it’s 2024, the ongoing Middle East conflict or even silly things like one a man’s obsession with Big Macs. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of stories one wants to avoid.

RANT #1 - Justin is a teacher and he has an issue with phone in class policies.

RANT #2 - Michael Cohen is surprised when A-1 steak sauce was founded.

RANT #3 - John LeShock is pissed people cannot pronounce words correctly.

RANT #4 - Dr AJ is an ER doctor and has seen some things.

RANT #5 - Vickie Gabow wilkes barre should fix potholes.

RANT #6 - Jennifer Braun has had it with Ohio Drivers.

This week on the podcast Lewis ponders what would happen if we all just collectively decided not to vote in the 2024 Presidential Election. This is because of a group of people that just don't feel energized by this year being a rematch of the 2020 election. In one corner a probably insurrectionist and in the other a person who might've done some good but no one seems to hear him. But the lethargy doesn't seem to end with the White House as most of Congress seems to be running in the opposite direction of progress.

The rants this week range from the political to the silly. We're even treated to a rebuttal of a previously submitted rant. It's a live one!

RANT #1 – Mildred Ellison finds a recent censoring of Mary Poppins silly

RANT #2 – Barry Yates has an issue with aliens, not the undocumented kind

RANT #3 – Brandon Hennery response to a recent rant about corn

RANT #4 – Claude Craphead is onto the long con of big oil

RANT #5 – Michelle Remiss hates some new efficiency features on cars

RANT #6 – Robert Fling thinks typos suck

RANT #7 – Howard Toller rants about our choices for president

RANT #8 – Belinda hates the casual use of “My Bad”

RANT #9 – Edwin Huett has a revelation about corrupt congress

RANT #10 – Krista Graves updates us on the Norfolk Southern train derailment

The world lost the comic voice of Richard Lewis this week. Lewis takes a moment to acknowledge the loss of a comedy legend. The national news is still nonsense as what election season wouldn't be complete without another border crisis. Lewis also composed his thoughts enough to weigh in on Alabama's draconian IVF laws and in the process is reminded of a bit he performed over a decade ago that sadly still remains relevant today.

But it's not all doom, Baseball is back and Lewis has thoughts on his beloved Baltimore Orioles and even some March Madness is around the corner.

The rants this week come from Missouri and Nebraska with stops in St. Louis, Springfield, and Omaha.

Rant #1 – Chip Miller finds pergolas useless

Rant #2 – Sandy McReynolds doesn’t believe it should be called intelligent design

Rant #3 – Mitchell Elliot wants Lewis to officiate his wedding

Rant #4 – Amber Gonzalez has issue with Missouri politics

Rant #5 – Kieran Richardson takes grandparenting seriously

Rant #6 – Bryce Smith has hot takes on corn

It’s one of those weeks where it’s almost too much to bear. In the wake of mass shootings, Louisiana issues new rules on gun control that are borderline infuriating. The rise of Measles for no good reason will make your head spin. Meanwhile Missouri Senators are debating draconian rules of engagement. If that isn’t enough, another Government shutdown is exactly what we don’t want or need right now. The week was a lot, so much in fact maintaining the proper level or rage over Alabama’s Embryo ruling going to have to wait.

The rants this week come from far and wide and once again rants from the stage as Lewis made two recent stops in Detroit, MI and Waukegan, IL.

RANT #1: James Muckle has a complaint about Diet Coke

RANT #2: Chris Morrissey has a gun control solution

RANT #3: Tyler Turner hate battery packaging

RANT #4: Your Pal believes executives should be replaced with A.I.

RANT #5: Pat Casey has some choice words for politicians (live from Detroit, MI)

RANT #6: Shemp Rolland’s thinks people from Battle Creek are stupid (live from Detroit, MI)

RANT #7: Michael Murray has some words for Congress (live from Waukegan, IL)

RANT #9: Mark Werner’s rant from a year ago still holds true (live from Waukegan, IL)

This week on the Rantcast, Lewis ponders why we’re live in a constant heightened state of stress. It’s supposed to snow, but according to the news reports its snowmageddon. Border problems can’t seem to be solved because politicians sabotage themselves. One old person is running for office, let’s make it two. Two celebrities can’t just be dating, they have to be part of a larger political conspiracy. Can’t just watch the Super Bowl, you have to watch a game within a game, within a game. Empty Nesters can’t handle being empty nesters, so they hire people to keep them company. It’s more than most can stand, Lewis realizes and is here to call B.S. on it.

Rant #1 – Richard just wanted to eat an apple but that desire was thwarted.

Rant #2 – Audrey weaves a tale about her HVAC tribulations.

Rant #3 – Lane is a military veteran who has endured too much red tape for too many years.

Rant #4 – Ken really wonders why the government devotes resources to keep stupid people alive.

Rant #5 – Eve learns about the odd ritual in which they celebrate the New Year in her town.

… and he could go on with a string of profanities afterward.

Lewis is back for the new year and his tour has been going well. However, when he decided to talk to his fans about a recent illness he’s been dealing with, he had no idea that there were so many “doctors” amongst his fanbase’s ranks. It’s infuriating. With a new year come new rants, and there are some doozies – from the common like the war on tip culture. The classics –figuring out what exactly makes Flat Earthers tick. To possible creative solutions for our political and economic woes. 

THE RANTS

Rant #1 - Kevin McThorne might have the solution to our economic problems

Rant #2 - Charles Hayes is pissed about the dictionary being removed from libraries

Rant #3 - Katie Wood thinks Hollywood sucks and we as a nation are going back in time

Rant #4 - Kayla Linkletter realizes the world is getting stranger and stranger

Rant #5 - Richard Abramson feels like the expectation of tipping has gotten out of control

Rant #6 - Scott Reid wants to know what the fuck is up with Flat Earthers?
