Advertise on podcast: Lewis Black's Rantcast

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. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

… 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? ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Dick for sure! Many of you might’ve heard that our former leader recently declared he’d be a dictator for just the first day in office and that just seems silly that some people of both his party and the United States are just okay with that idea. Lewis isn’t one of those people and he’s tired of it. This week the news ranges from angry to irate and Lewis speaks for most of us when he declares that he’s sick and tire of being sick and tired. THE RANTS Rant #1 – Stacey is tired of people complaining about Joe Biden’s age Rant #2 – Angel wants people to realize that no matter who you are you have the right to a roof above your head Rant #3 – Susan is fed up with the hatred of teachers Rant #4 – Susan’s husband David is just as grumpy and things part of the solve is to bring back teaching Civics Rant #5 – Tom doesn’t understand why we tolerate commercials __________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? https://www.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis is back from the road where he learned he visited the birthplace of country music without knowing it, as Bob Ross would say, it was a happy accident. Another thing that should make folks happy out there is that in one week the political world saw the ouster of representative George Santos and the passing of one Henry Kissinger, someone that's plagued American politics for too long. This week also brings some weird news out of (shockingly) Florida and Mississippi.

As he mentioned on last week's episode of the Rantcast, Lewis has left the country for a bit of holiday vacation. But that doesn't mean you need to go without some rants.

It's Thanksgiving and Lewis is getting outta here! Where's he going? Overseas to continue his annual tradition of escaping the holiday by visiting friends internationally. How did this tradition begin you ask? Well, it started years ago when he realized that his family weren't great cooks. This week's rants. Rant #1 – Elliott almost got arrested with her father the way to see Lewis Black. Rant #2 – BJ Terry thinks the internet contains too much useless information and its effecting our youth. He takes an opportunity to prove this theory to his 13 year old grandson at Church. Rant #3 – An anonymous female ranter still has to put up with the bullshit of working in a male-dominated industry. Rant #4 – David H has a bone to pick with the Michigan GOP and for good reason. Rant #5 – Sean Anonymous hates people that treat their dogs like children. Rant #6 – Barry H rants about aging, it turns out that 70 is not the new 20. No matter what people tell you. __________________ PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW'S SPONSORS Visit https://www.ghostbed.com/lewis and use code LEWIS for 40% off your order.
