    Two Dolls Walk Into A Bar ... That Gets Raided

    This week on Ranting Out Loud, the gang dives into the absurdity of over-the-top bar raids during drag shows and tariffs targeting Hollywood blockbusters (because apparently, Harry Potter is a national security threat). Chadrick dishes on small-town drama with big-city snark, Lee shares a list of gay travel destinations worth the rainbow, and Mike roasts Stephen Miller’s suspicious doll collection. From politics to pop culture, this episode is a chaotic blend of rants, laughs, and some serious side-eye. 🌈🎤 #DragDefiance #TariffTantrums #RantAndRave

    Gaycation: All I Ever Wanted

    Pack your bags, darling, because this week on Ranting Out Loud we’re taking our baggage to gay-friendly travel hotspots and tsk-tsk-ing about destinations to avoid (looking at you, Uganda). Chadrick unveils his guide to small-town Pride oases, while Lee doubles down on why hypocrisy might be the most American thing ever. Meanwhile, Producer Mike digs into George Santos’ latest drama—drag appearances included—and we roast bad fashion choices at solemn events (seriously, hire a gay stylist already). It’s snarky, it’s sassy, and it’s your passport to a fabulous time. 🌈✈️ #TravelGayfully #SantosInShambles #BlueSuitBlunders

    Vance Visits Vatican. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

    Chaos reigns supreme as Chadrick recounts his dramatic faceplant courtesy of a mischievous puppy (and two flower pots). Meanwhile, Mike takes aim at the political circus, from Combat Barbie’s misplaced purse scandal to J.D. Vance breaking trophies and maybe even the pope. Lee keeps it classy—well, until the tornado talk gets witchy. Sprinkle in some commentary on Catholic rituals, dramatic neighbors, and overpriced eggs, and you’ve got an episode packed with snark, laughs, and a little blasphemy. 🌈🐾 #FallingForDogs #CombatBarbieDrama #SnarkAndSacrilege

    An Easter Basket Case

    Get ready for a wild ride as Ranting Out Loud tackles everything from roadside disasters to divine absurdities. Lee’s $900 flat tire fiasco sets the stage for a show packed with laughs, including Chadrick’s Easter candy confessions and Mike’s blasphemous take on “Hamburger Jesus.” Plus, we explore the all-female Blue Origin spaceflight, Coachella cameos, and why Bernie Sanders outpaces Democrats half his age. Sprinkle in a little snark about JD Vance breaking trophies and some unfiltered thoughts on political battles, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts hilarious and heretical. 🌈🚀 #HamburgerJesus #SpaceQueens #RantAndRave

    Crocodile Undie and Other Tariff-ic Things

    This week on Ranting Out Loud, we’re diving into the ridiculous and the risqué. From Robert Irwin’s internet-breaking underwear shoot (cue the snakes!) to the wild world of spring gardening gone wrong, Lee, Chadrick, and Mike tackle it all with their signature sass. Plus, we unpack the latest political drama, including the tragic absurdity of immigration quotas and a few choice words for shady stock market cover-ups. And just in time for swimsuit season, we debate the sexiest sports uniforms—and why short shorts deserve a comeback. 🌈🌱 #SpringIntoSnark #SnakeInMyPants #RantAndRave

    Move In Together? I Would Rather Sleep With A Ghost

    With laughter and lively banter, this episode is a delightful mix of ghost stories, personal experiences, and pop culture discussions. From the gayest town in the Ozarks and a haunted hotel to a fabulous feature on the set of the Hulu comedy "Mid-Century Modern," the boys whip up a silly feast of apparitions and a little truth-telling among friends. Whether you’re a fan of the supernatural or just looking for some fun conversation about what it would take to move in together, this episode is sure to entertain! #Gaycation #EurekaSprings #Poltergeist #MidCenturyModern

    Mad March: Beyond Stupid

    Get ready for a hilarious deep dive into the week’s wildest moments on Ranting Out Loud. From a leprechaun’s questionable fashion sense (a red hat?) to political antics worthy of reality TV, we’re serving up sharp wit and no-nonsense commentary. Add in some popper-fueled insights and a good roast of hypocrisy, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts chaos and comedy. We weren't invited to a Signal chat room with national security implications, so we did the next best thing. #GovernmentChaos #LGBTQ+ #RedHats

    Erin Go Braugh-less

    Top o’ the morning to ya—unless you’re Target, Tesla, or Trump! This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick recounts his boozy St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt (complete with leprechaun chases and margarita flights), while Lee laments the corporate colonization of space (paging Elon Musk and his fireworks company). Producer Mike brings the snark, diving into the collapse of DEI at Target, Tesla stock tanking faster than MAGA credibility, and the petty chaos of Trump’s vendettas—from Rosie O’Donnell to the Obama library. It’s hilarious, infuriating, and unapologetically inebriating. ☘️🍸 #ShamrocksAndShade #TeslaTwats #ErinGoBraughless
