    Eclipsed by the Eclipse

    Eclipsed by the Eclipse

    It was a week of happenings, not just for Lewis but for the nation as we experienced not only the Solar Eclipse, but a large earthquake for a swath of people in the East. Lewis found himself in Arizona for a charity golf outing, still managing to see the eclipse. Was it the advertised 75% darkness it was advertised as? Maybe not. Unfortunately, the usual crazies bubble up with conspiracy theories around these natural phenomenon (of course). Other newsworthy events include the dreaded annual Tax Day and the death of OJ Simpson opens re-ignites old wars in what might’ve been the inflection point of a new way the media operates.

    The rants are live this week as Lewis works through some live dates in the Northeast. Speaking of tour dates, fall dates of The Goodbye Yeller Brick Road have been announced and by the time you read this, they will be on sale through the F.U.C.K.U fan club with public on sale occurring Friday, April 19th .

    RANT #1 – Alan Whitman has a complaint about Maine’s new beer laws
    RANT #2 – PN hates the Maine Weather
    RANT #3 – A student from the University of Maine’s rants about its amenities
    RANT #4 – Wayne Harvey wants people to know it’s just a comedy show

    Escape To The National Comedy Center

    Escape To The National Comedy Center

    The madness of the year has already gotten to us, and if it’s going to continue through the already-declared politics-free summer, perhaps its time to get out of dodge and head on up to the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY?
    What nonsense is happening this week? First off, can anyone fluent in finance explain how Truth Social makes money? While we’re at it, can someone also tackle inflation? While on the topic of explaining things, a Michigan rep could use some help identifying a college basketball team. An MLB player could use some help determining if Wyoming is real, and Tennessee needs to figure out what exactly is the deal with Chemtrails. As always, Lewis is here to help navigate the madness.
    This week's rants are live from the road in Providence, Boston, and Portland, ME.

    Busted Bridge, Busted Brackets

    Busted Bridge, Busted Brackets

    Being born and raised in the greater Baltimore area, the news on the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse elicits Lewis laments on how it should be repaired. It also appears the level of satire have reached an all-time high between Donald Trump deciding to become a bible salesman and Alabama doing away with diversity programs in its universities. But it doesn’t end there as the Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments over mifepristone and it just reminds Lewis that being a lawyer can sometimes make your head spin. To top it all off, A.I. is manifesting itself in unlikely ways. It’s a wild week of headlines, luckily for us all Lewis Black is here to guide us through it all like a beacon of light.

    March Madness

    March Madness

    How's your bracket doing? The NCAA College Basketball tournament is Lewis' favorite sporting event of the year. It also serves as a good distraction from the lunacy of the day. A Spring that doesn't seem to have sprung yet. An election cycle that goes on and on. A former President's many, many days in court. Boeing's continued lack of quality control, and perhaps most traumatizing... the discontinuation of dollar hot dog night in Philly.

    RANT #1 – Michael Franke believes in the art of the argument.
    RANT #2 – Walter Newcomb takes issue with mispronouncing words.
    RANT #3 – Ginger Dowtle is PISSED about immigration, government, infrastructure, you name it.
    RANT #4 – Greg Jones is enraged about Global Warming.
    RANT #5 – Martino Emilo believes lawmakers have let our children down.
    RANT #6 – Noah Allen wonders how a President can divide a country.
    RANT #7 – Nancy Schulman believes we should regulate sperm.

    Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

    Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

    Does anybody really care?
    Well, we turned the clocks forward an hour and with it comes the annual debate about whether Daylight Savings time is a good idea or not. With both sides of the argument pulling their annual selective amnesia about the event. March also marks the start of The NCAA College Basketball Tournament which brings both great joy and a great distraction to Lewis. From what? Well, take your pick – could be GOP’s wild response to the State of the Union, Missouri finally realizing it’s 2024, the ongoing Middle East conflict or even silly things like one a man’s obsession with Big Macs. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of stories one wants to avoid.

    RANT #1 - Justin is a teacher and he has an issue with phone in class policies.
    RANT #2 - Michael Cohen is surprised when A-1 steak sauce was founded.
    RANT #3 - John LeShock is pissed people cannot pronounce words correctly.
    RANT #4 - Dr AJ is an ER doctor and has seen some things.
    RANT #5 - Vickie Gabow wilkes barre should fix potholes.
    RANT #6 - Jennifer Braun has had it with Ohio Drivers.

    What If We Had An Election And Nobody Voted?

    What If We Had An Election And Nobody Voted?

    This week on the podcast Lewis ponders what would happen if we all just collectively decided not to vote in the 2024 Presidential Election. This is because of a group of people that just don't feel energized by this year being a rematch of the 2020 election. In one corner a probably insurrectionist and in the other a person who might've done some good but no one seems to hear him. But the lethargy doesn't seem to end with the White House as most of Congress seems to be running in the opposite direction of progress.

    The rants this week range from the political to the silly. We're even treated to a rebuttal of a previously submitted rant. It's a live one!
    RANT #1 – Mildred Ellison finds a recent censoring of Mary Poppins silly
    RANT #2 – Barry Yates has an issue with aliens, not the undocumented kind
    RANT #3 – Brandon Hennery response to a recent rant about corn
    RANT #4 – Claude Craphead is onto the long con of big oil
    RANT #5 – Michelle Remiss hates some new efficiency features on cars
    RANT #6 – Robert Fling thinks typos suck
    RANT #7 – Howard Toller rants about our choices for president
    RANT #8 – Belinda hates the casual use of “My Bad”
    RANT #9 – Edwin Huett has a revelation about corrupt congress
    RANT #10 – Krista Graves updates us on the Norfolk Southern train derailment
