Lewis Black's Rantcast

Lewis Black has some things to get off his chest! With his weekly podcast "Lewis Black’s Rantcast," the Grammy-winning comedian does just that. Channeling his anger in ways only a man who’s devoted his entire life to ranting can do. The tirades are sometimes big, other times small, yet they are always fun-spirited and truly hilarious. No topic is safe from Black’s trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing. Skewering anything and anyone that gets under his skin. On the "Rantcast," Black isn’t the only person getting things off his chest, each week Lewis allows fans to submit their gripes so he can commiserate in their frustrations. Black’s long career includes movie roles in Accepted, the voice of Anger in the Pixar’s "Inside Out," and is currently the longest-running correspondent on Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show."

    Bomb, de Bomb, Bomb, Boooomb!

    It’s time to celebrate our nation’s independence. But are we in a renaissance of military spectacular-ness? The Boss seems to think so. Because our recent non-congress approved exercise in Iran would have you to believe that all the Middle East’s issues were solved in just a day or two. It’s worth of giving the Boss a Nobel Peace Prize, right? National intelligence saying otherwise have something different to say. But Lewis is passing the holiday in upstate New York at the Chautauqua Institute where he has curated a week of comedy discussions, a couple of readings of his play The Deal, A live Rant is Due and a performance by Roy Wood Jr. This week we deliver only one rant because it’s worth highlighting, because as we celebrate our country, we want to hear from our military.

    Two Weeks Again?

    It’s take 2 of this week’s Rantcast. Why? Because he completed an entire recording of this week’s episode only to find out the next day enough happened in the world wo warrant a re-recording of the episode. Hence the “Again” being added to the title of the episode. This week Lewis dives into subject matter such as the Middle East, counter terrorism, and discrimination. Really light topics for such a sweltering week.   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.livelewis.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lewisblack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/thelewisblack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Toy Soldiers

    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. ___________________ SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS INDACLOUD - If you’re 21 or older, get 25% OFF your first order + free shipping at IndaCloud with code LEWIS at http://www.inda.shop/LEWIS #indacloudpod RIDGE- Upgrade your wallet today!

    Insanity Squared

    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.

    Mucho More Madness

    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.

    WTF?

    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.

    The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

    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.
