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

This week on the show, the gang tackles everything from Super Bowl chaos to anti-Muslim Academy Award drama with their signature LGBTQ flair and plenty of snark. Chadrick spills the tea on annoying party guests who don't know a touchdown from a fumble, while Lee pitches a dystopian love story involving Sigourney Weaver and hell itself. Meanwhile, the Oscars are aflame as Amelia Perez's star gets dimmed by old tweets (and bad reviews), proving once again that sometimes, even the gays can't save you. It's a fabulous mess—just how we like it. 🌈🍿 #SuperBowlSnark #QueerOscarsDrama #HappyCloudsNotRacists

Welcome to 2025, where the resolutions are snarky, the punch is lethal, and the baby New Year might already be dead. The gang rings in 2025 with tales of drunken neighbors, chandelier-dangling Christmas ornaments, and a punch recipe so lethal it should come with a warning label. Chadrick reveals his bold resolution to "dig under low," while Lee preaches zen-like balance (good luck with that). Meanwhile, Mike contemplates the cosmic futility of it all—because why not? With snarky takes on New Year's Eve broadcasts, Elon Musk's empire, and a biblical lesson on "girding your loins," this episode is a champagne-soaked riot you won't want to miss. Cheers, queers! 🥂✨ #NewYearWhoDis #PunchGoals #GirdYourLoins

The gang's all alive! After a brief respite to emerge from Pompeii Position (look it up), Lee Swift broadcasts from an undisclosed bunker, Chadrick Douglas is snug in a blue-state bubble, and producer Mike ... well, he's somewhere with three VPNs and a fresh set of panties. After surviving the election blues and plotting new paths for mental health, the trio dives into a sea of absurdity and wit.

From the tragic comedy of putting on underwear to the perils of lotion-laden Kleenex, we're serving self-care tips you didn't know you needed (or wanted). Also, Lee contemplates turning GI Joe into an OnlyFans star—doll ... fans, rejoice! Meanwhile, Chadrick reminisces about a Wizard of Oz childhood, and Mike rants about tech that's always listening (seriously, watch your butt dials).

Join us for another unapologetically queer and hilariously offbeat episode that proves no topic is too taboo or too tiny—especially when it's doll-sized.

Join Lee, and Chadrick and Mike as they wade through pre-election tensions with humor and candor. From secret ballot fantasies and hidden voters to the ins-and-outs of political closet talk, they share candid reflections on everything from local campaigns to national hope. With a fair share of side-eye at Ted Cruz's closet escapades and wild conspiracy theories, they explore the possibility of a post-election America that can finally catch its breath. So grab a glass (or bottle) and tune in for a lively ride through the highs and lows of election season—Romance Out Loud style.
