RANTS WITH ANTDAMNiT

Where is your moral compass when everybody has a reason for doing what they’re doing?

RANT 84 starts with ANT reacting to Byron Donalds being projected as Florida’s next governor before diving into the growing argument between Cardi B and Mona Love over colorism, privilege, and whether somebody’s success should be credited to opportunity or the work they put in.

Then Cam’ron and Ma$e ask Arabia Tillery to explain the unusual family living arrangement involving her child’s father, NFL player Matthew Judon, and his current girlfriend. From there, ANT reacts to a wild livestream involving an apparent drug exchange and the downfall of Turkey Leg Hut co-founder Lynn Price, whose involvement in an arson-for-hire scheme earned him a federal prison sentence.

The conversation keeps moving when 2 Chainz and Keith Lee debate celebrity treatment at restaurants, before ANT gets into new questions surrounding Oprah Winfrey’s withdrawal from the Russell Simmons documentary On the Record.

Plus, Druski takes his megachurch comedy character to Netflix with Collect & Praise, and ANT gives Kool DJ Red Alert his flowers as the legendary DJ prepares to retire from radio. Then it’s time to recognize October’s POB WEEKLY poll winners and announce the POB GOLDEN TICKET winner.

Somewhere between politics, celebrity culture, questionable decisions, and people defending their behavior, ANT keeps coming back to one question. WHERE IS YOUR MORAL COMPASS?

RANT 83 | A SUCKER IS BORN EVERYDAY finds FAT LIVER JONES questioning the scams, questionable decisions, and institutions that seem to keep taking advantage of people who should know better. ANT opens with his opinions on dental hygiene and drivers with BABY ON BOARD stickers before getting into a string of stories that have him questioning everybody’s common sense.

A former school district HR director faces allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation. A Pennsylvania welfare employee is accused of stealing EBT benefits and exchanging cards for drugs. And a Brazilian man reportedly sells his belongings and travels more than 1,200 miles looking for love, only to discover that the woman he was chasing was an AI-generated social media personality.

Then Nuri Muhammad’s appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay takes the conversation into religion and the Black community. ANT questions the divisions created by religious affiliations, the industries that profit when people continue to struggle, and the institutions that are rarely held accountable until the damage becomes impossible to ignore.

That leads into the Archdiocese of New York’s $800 million settlement agreement involving sexual abuse claims, followed by a Florida judge who turns a domestic battery hearing into a conversation about cooking steak. And there’s more: NYC-born fitness influencer Wendy Durán faces weapons-related charges in Colombia after authorities report discovering firearms and ammunition in her residence.

From scams and artificial intelligence to religion, institutional accountability, and some of the most unbelievable news stories of the week, ANT has plenty to say about how easily people can be taken for a ride.
