Border? I hardly knew her! Join us as Lovett or Leave It journeys to the Great White North, where the kisses are French and the bacon ham, for Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival.

In honor of our independence and courtesy of our beloved Friends of the Pod, we present some of the best rants from guests who went off louder than a firework ever could. Lettuce between cheese and meat. Turning 40 with drunken grace. Edging superheroes. It’s all here, so sit back, crack open a cold one, and drink in the sweet, unhinged musings of Luenell, Vanessa Bayer, TS Madison, Ms. Pat, Mitra Jouhari, and the golden boy himself. And while you’re sitting there reminiscing with rants of yore, remember… this is why our forefathers fought. This… is America.

Anyway, Happy Fourth of July, and see you in a few weeks!

Parvati Shallow and Courtney Act dive into the deep end and also the less-deep end, before we spin the wheel of villains who were actually really cool in a scene that got cut, probably.
