    226 - Toy Soldiers
    Jun 18 2025
    Well, this past week was event-filled. Absolutely insane events like The Boss’ birthday parade thinly veiled as a celebration of America’s military. While that event appeared to be a dud, it still positioned our military personnel as Toy Soldiers. If that wasn’t enough to infuriate you Toy Soldiers were also being utilized in LA to settle non-existent unrest. Almost enough nonsense to forget that totally normal things like Father’s Day occurred as well. Lewis took the opportunity to honor his late father not only a principled man, but fantastic artist. This one is for all the dads out there.

    225 - Insanity Squared
    Jun 11 2025
    We have ourselves a snappy title for snappy times. This past week we caught ourselves in the middle of the Donald Trump/Elon Musk falling out. That’s right two grown men of unimaginable privilege calling each other names in public. Insanity on all fronts and we all need to figure out how to lessen our exposure to it all because we all know it’s bad for us. While an ill-advised gameshow pitch about immigrants is a terrible way to do that, perhaps you take a hint from Lewis and just get a dog.

    224 - Mucho More Madness
    Jun 4 2025
    Madness has taken its hold on all of us. In Lewis’ case it’s actually been Mucho More Madness. He’s tired of talking about it, but what “it” is even is under debate because the truth doesn’t matter. Even after a long holiday break the Mucho More Madness is still too much. Elon was drummed out of Washington, DC. Presumably to detox. The MaHa movement definitely emphasizes the “ha.” But it appears Lewis might have secret weapon to take his mind off things… perhaps a furry little friend? It’s all in this week’s Rantcast.

  • 223 - WTF?

    223 - WTF?
    May 21 2025
    WTF might just be the best way to collectively describe what’s happening currently. As we head into the long holiday weekend we’re reminded of how much that simple phrase can define things. Whether it be Lewis attempting to make sense of what his favorite sports teams are doing. Perhaps it can describe anything that RFK did in the last 10 days. Or maybe it can be attributed to the Boss’ trip to the Middle East or his “big beautiful bill”. The reality is you can apply a simple WTF to almost anything, go ahead say it out loud, it can be cathartic.

    222 - But The Pope Is An American
    May 14 2025
    This past weekend we celebrated our Mothers. While they are the most important people in the world to most, to Catholics around the world the selection of a new Pope also ranks up there in importance. White smoke was seen at The Vatican and we have ourselves a new pontiff and this one came with a curveball too as he’s from right here in America. That’s right, Bob from Chicago is the new Pope. A statement we’re bound to get a lot of mileage from.

    221 - The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
    May 7 2025
    Lewis has returned from some shows performed at his Alma Mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Was it a fun visit for nostalgia trip? Or, as he put it, might’ve been an acid flashback. But while Lewis had all the intentions about talking about performing at his college longer, the news of the day needed to be addressed and boy is there a lot – from The Boss’s declaration for everyone to have to tighten their doll and pencil budgets, how AI might be picking a new Pope, or a “necessary” military parade? It has us all harkening back to simpler times, perhaps when we were in college and just having a great time without much a care in the world.

  • 220 - STOP!

    220 - STOP!
    Apr 30 2025
    There are no pleases here, just a hard statement of STOP! A simple request that Lewis makes on behalf of all of us. Whether it be another Signalgate, more silliness out of the mouths of public health officials, the Pope passing away, oh yeah and remember George Santos? He finally faced justice. It’s all too much, so just STOP!

    219 - What'd I Miss?
    Apr 23 2025
    Lewis is back from Georgia where he held his invitational golf outing and has some people to thank for their work in making it all happen and the people at the Luv U Project who work day in and day out to better assist people’s mental health. But as soon as he’s back from a couple day sabbatical, the nonsense of the news has returned.
