Lewis Black's Rantcast

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,...

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...

The world lost the comic voice of Richard Lewis this week. Lewis takes a moment to acknowledge the loss of a comedy legend. The national news is still nonsense as what election season wouldn't be complete without another border crisis. Lewis also composed his thoughts enough to weigh in on Alabama's draconian IVF laws and in the process is reminded of a bit he performed over a decade ago that sadl...

It’s one of those weeks where it’s almost too much to bear. In the wake of mass shootings, Louisiana issues new rules on gun control that are borderline infuriating. The rise of Measles for no good reason will make your head spin. Meanwhile Missouri Senators are debating draconian rules of engagement. If that isn’t enough, another Government shutdown is exactly what we don’t want or need right now...

This week on the Rantcast, Lewis ponders why we’re live in a constant heightened state of stress. It’s supposed to snow, but according to the news reports its snowmageddon. Border problems can’t seem to be solved because politicians sabotage themselves. One old person is running for office, let’s make it two. Two celebrities can’t just be dating, they have to be part of a larger political conspira...

… and he could go on with a string of profanities afterward. Lewis is back for the new year and his tour has been going well. However, when he decided to talk to his fans about a recent illness he’s been dealing with, he had no idea that there were so many “doctors” amongst his fanbase’s ranks. It’s infuriating. With a new year come new rants, and there are some doozies – from the common like the...

Lewis is taking some time off to enjoy the holidays. But he didn't want to leave you empty-ranted. So enjoy some of favorite rants he read throughout the year. RANT #1 - Rant about my partner/Rant about my girlfriend RANT #2 - Robert can't wrap his head around something Ron DeSantis stated RANT #3 - Manuel has some rants about his dad RANT #4 - Can we leave the dog home? RANT #5 - He's scared RANT...

It’s the last Rantcast of 2023 and Lewis takes the opportunity to tell us why it’s the most wonderful time of the year. A few gifts from his friend Kathleen Madigan brings a better perspective on things than last week. Because who can be upset when we now know that brisket-flavored candy canes exist in this world. Lewis’ 2023 tour has officially wrapped and the chance to meet so many fans out on t...

Dick for sure! Many of you might’ve heard that our former leader recently declared he’d be a dictator for just the first day in office and that just seems silly that some people of both his party and the United States are just okay with that idea. Lewis isn’t one of those people and he’s tired of it. This week the news ranges from angry to irate and Lewis speaks for most of us when he declares tha...

Lewis is back from the road where he learned he visited the birthplace of country music without knowing it, as Bob Ross would say, it was a happy accident. Another thing that should make folks happy out there is that in one week the political world saw the ouster of representative George Santos and the passing of one Henry Kissinger, someone that's plagued American politics for too long. This week...

As he mentioned on last week's episode of the Rantcast, Lewis has left the country for a bit of holiday vacation. But that doesn't mean you need to go without some rants. So here is a compilation of some of the best rants Lewis has delivered so far this year. Enjoy! ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections __________________...

It's Thanksgiving and Lewis is getting outta here! Where's he going? Overseas to continue his annual tradition of escaping the holiday by visiting friends internationally.

Rant #1 – Elliott almost got arrested with her father the way to see Lewis Black. Rant #2...
