Lewis Black's Rantcast

This Independence weekend was one of the hottest the East Coast has seen in a long time. Additionally it was a bad time for people to have issues with their Air Conditioning. Lewis had some of such issues with his building and made for a great excuse to be a bit lazy about going out and doing anything. Which is unfortunate because the city’s impressive fireworks are always fun and because it was o...

This weekend marks our 250th birthday! A country with great accomplishments yet we’re all miserable right now. That’s not just hyperbole either, a recent poll shows that American’s aren’t feeling too patriotic at the moment. This is due to a variety of reasons, the Supreme Court continues to make bad rulings such as the recent overturning of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants in this...

So, $132 Billion dollars and for what? If you ask certain people they might say that’s how many ways things got fucked up. The Iran war/not-war Memorandum of Understanding is already a complete disaster and how is our dear leader handling it? By simultaneously being nasty to a former president and utilizing some good ole’ fashioned deflection. In the form or reflection, pool that is. All run down...

This episode of Lewis Black’s Rantcast was recorded in advance of a big weekend. Lewis was scheduled to perform in Atlantic City, NJ at the Borgata Casino. Just so happen to be the same night the New York Knicks were poised to win the NBA Championship for the first time in 53 years. That would be enough for one weekend but the next night brought more spectacle that was a UFC fight on the lawn of t...

The title really says it all. Lewis, like most of us, is near the end of his ability to properly describe what’s happening with our administration using words existing in the English language. ___________________________________________ This episode is sponsored by FACTOR Head to www.factormeals.com/lewis50off and use code LEWIS50OFF to get 50% off plus a free daily greens per box.

Well, it's been about a week since Lewis returned from his vacation and it only took about a week for all the nonsense to wash over him again. Is anyone else sick and tired of being sick and tired? ___________________________________________ Thanks to this week's sponsor: IndaCloud Visit http://www.indacloud.co and use code LEWIS for 30% off first subscription orders + plus a free gift for qualify...

Lewis is headed to Austria, Vienna specifically. It’s a place that he’s always wanted to travel to. While there, he plans on getting on a boat and taking it down the Danube river and to find out if in fact the Danube is blue. He’ll report back. ____________________ Thanks to FACTOR Meals for sponsoring this episode. Visit www.factormeals.com/lewis50off and use code: LEWIS50OFF for 50% off your ord...

Are we great yet? Or are we amongst those people out there in need of having to sell some blood just to get by? Lewis learns Americans are grappling with decisions like this more and more as The Boss seems to be making millions off the Presidency. Before SCOTUS set off the latest redistricting war, Lewis was out at the Mystic Lake Casino in Minnesota for a show and that’s also where this week’s ra...

Lewis had a plan this week, but the event happening at the WHCD changed up his plans. Prompting him to reflect on his time when he was asked to be a participant in these things a while back. But as we watch things fall apart in real time its important to remember… maybe it was staged?

Lewis returns from a few days hosting his annual golf invitational which benefits The Luv U Project, a charity he works with to benefit mental health in the workplace. But he returns to a fresh list of nonsense headlines furthering driving us all off the rails. All broken down on this week’s Rantcast, give it a listen breathe a bit easier.

This week Lewis is out hosting his golf invitational for charity. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t things happening in the world that can enrage you. From the quagmire in the Middle East to our leader’s personal philosophy, it’s enough to make you insane. But this week we are reminded that human ingenuity is still alive and well. Because for the first time in more than 50 years we returned to th...

This weekend people across the world celebrated a holiday.  Meanwhile here at home, the President thinking that no one was paying attention, turned the White House into a Nut House.  Truly insane times, so insane that Lewis re-recorded his intro to the podcast to accommodate more of it. ______________________________________ For advertising opportunities email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Bored seems to be he word this week for our leader as he seems over the war he started yet doesn’t know how to finish. Maybe Cuba is next. This week also saw the largest protest in history with the No Kings rallies which were no only nationwide but international as well. He’s bored with mail in voting so why not try to get rid of it? Or at least make it so only he can do it and nobody else. Beside...

While the title suggests this week's Rantcast could be about the popular college basketball tournament. Madness can also describe the current situation we're living with. From what seems like a new war set forth by our boss, to the lack of decency shown when we lost a high profile public servant. While Lewis tries to make sense of it, his dog Sammy might just have the answers for us as he steadily...

It’s a question Lewis asks on this week’s Rantcast. We have an administration that appears to have not thought long about going to war with Iran. Entering it, being in it, getting allies for it, or ending it. Nothing was given any thought. The Rants come to us live from a recent stop in Battle Creek, MI at the Firekeepers Casino. This episode is brought to you by FACTOR. Visit to htp://www.factorm...

Its a week with nothing but war in the news. Seemingly the only bright spot being that Kristi Noem was relieved of her position.

The State of the Union address just happened. Lewis watched it so you don't have to. Almost two hours of nonsense, broken down for you by Lewis. Let's hope he stays sane for all of us.

It was a wild week for our leader and so he’s angry. His signature policy was shot down by the Supreme Court he helped stock.  They told him “no” on his tariffs so he got big mad at SCOTUS’ decision. Lashing out at anyone and everyone and this tariff argument reaching as far as the Olympics, well at least for Lewis because it screwed up who he was rooting for.  And all of this just before the Stat...

Lewis kicks off this week’s Rantcast attempting to figure out how he can possibly remember the amount of bullshit that happens on a weekly basis. Realizing that his dog Sammy, who just turned one, has more empathy for the public than any politician or leader seems to. And the news gets wackier, MAGA picks on Olympians. Kristi Noem fires a pilot cause he forgot her blanky. Pam Bondi gets nasty abou...

Lewis begins this week’s Rantcast with a fairly straightforward question, where is the outrage? Because this past week some really unforgivable things happened that should’ve registered more than a blip on the public consciousness. A sitting president posted an extremely racist video of a former president and his wife and proceeded to remove himself from all responsibility. Because the buck doesn’...

From a show in Rockford to a show in Gary, the road to get between them had its own existential bumps along the way and it didn't help that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara bid farewell along the way. Truly Lewis feels she is needed now more than ever. But life goes on and all the next shows maybe title In Memory of..... And at least we have the Super Bowl. And a supply of Measles. For advertising o...

Lewis is back to help us make sense of a wild week. Starting off with some explosive testimony from Jack Smith in front of Congressional Hearings, our Leader making the wildest of demands over in Davos in front of other world leaders before having to walk it all back, ending with some of the saddest news of the week with the totally senseless and brutal execution of an ICE protestor in Minneapolis...

It's Lewis' first ever live version of The Rantcast. Yes of course he's read live rants before during his stand-up shows but this is the first time he's taken the stage purely with the goal of recording an episode of his podcast in front of a live audience. So, Lewis left the confines of the public access studio in his home in New York and traveled to The Stand comedy club to record the podcast in...
