Ranting Out Loud: An LGBTQ+ perspective on life, love, politics and chaos

Oh there's dust in the air! An automatic vacuum goes rogue as the boys kick up the dirt over dirty websites in Texas. Yep, the latest sex "crime" has porn lovers scrambling for alternative ways of finding their filth.

**Note: Our episodes are recorded in advance. The references to the royal family in this episode were done without recent knowledge of Kate Middleton's medical condition. We wish her the best of health and all the consideration and respect she and her family deserve.

Show notes:

Chadrick is on the move again. Again? Yep. But there's lots to ponder in this episode. Keeping up appearances has become a royal pain in the ass. Plus, another psychic, another choking hazard for one of the presidential candidates. Time to raid the kitty and hope no one scratches!

The State of the Union produced some of the best comedy material in recent memory and the internet didn't disappoint. Speaking of politics, we gays are still scared of the future if things go bad, but fewe were more scary this past week than Alabama Senator Katie Britt and her demon-eyes-Stepford rebuttal to the President's speech. Oh and the Oscars happened!

What does it mean to be bissextile? It's not what you think. Let's talk about keeping our privates private, being pee shy and what "mirror-mirror on the wall" really means. It'a actually mirror-mirror on the wall, and floor, and ceiling.

Are shelves of eggs in Alabama supermarkets now considered orphanages? OK, it's a stolen paraphrased joke, but thank you Betty Bowers for allowing us to laugh at this! We talk Beyonce going country, the Grand Ol' Opry, fires at landmark buildings and a "fine people" comment from a Fox News guest that went over like a racist lead balloon. It's March, folks! Deal with it.

Superbowl hangover? Not here! Yes, there's Taylor Swift talk and Ye's antics at the game but in the end, she was the focus, right? Oh yea, and the team that won the damn thing. The boys also talk about collectibles which naturally turns the conversation to racism. Huh? Very interesting.

The post-Valentine's Day episode is here with lots of plate throwing and breakup talk and loofahs for everyone! Meanwhile that other big day has also passed and we do our best to predict what would/did happen at the Super Bowl having recorded our episode prior to both days. Also, you'll never guess who the Taylor Swift haters are lifting to become their answer to her star power. You just won't. Nope.

Chadrick is off on a cruise so Lee and Mike play backup singers to the vacationing 'Diva of Dialogue' and talk about body grooming, manscaping products, supermarket dilemmas and why parking lots are more dangerous than holes being blown off the side of airplanes. Happy travels everyone!

We're in the throes of winter season, award season, bitching season so we talk about all of this and more in this episode. From icy queens on power trips to marrying cousins and award show faux pas, we've covered it!

Cruise drink packages... worth it? Would you go see a wet t-shirt contest with 80-year-olds? That gay New Year's kiss on CNN reminds us of a time when American TV was more daring than it is today. Plus, you'll never guess who got dissed in the most gay-bitch fashion at a congressional c̶l̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶w̶ hearing. Actually, you can kind of guess.
