    185 - The Myth of Sisyphus
    2024/08/07
    Why that title? Because it’s a great metaphor for Lewis’ golf game. On in which he recently spent time in Maine working on. While there, Lewis took the time to keep ownership of his summer. For anyone who has followed the Rantcast for a while knows that summer is our time and should be politics free. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be possible these days. Why? Because VP running mates are being chosen and political nepotism has led us to dead bears being dumped in Central Park. If you don’t understand that last detail, you’re probably actually having a great summer.

    184 - JD Stands for "Just Dumb"
    2024/07/31
    One would think after last week’s whirlwind of news that this week would be somewhat quieter, but you would be wrong. With an election season heating up it seems the news is coming from everywhere. One of the biggest stories of the week being the constant flow of idiotic things said by GOP Vice Presidential hopeful, JD Vance. Whom seemed to put his foot in his mouth with each passing day, encouraging Lewis to declare the “JD” stands for “Just Dumb.” But it’s not all politics as the Olympics have kicked off in Paris, a city Lewis has visited many times and has a personal connection to. Speaking of personal connections, the West Bank Café, a theater where Lewis got his start in NYC is closing its doors after 46 years. Lewis also provides an update on Greg Douglas, the military veteran who recently submitted a lengthy rant to the Rantcast.

    183 - And The Fun Never Stops
    2024/07/24
    Well, somehow the news was even crazier than it was last week, if that's even possible. The weekend began with computers across the world crashing and sending things into turmoil and then it with Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 Presidential race. Something that has not happened decades. This all causing us to ask, will the fun ever stop? It's a good thing prepped for the weekend with a quick stop in Atlantic city for plenty of subs and gambling. Join Lewis as he attempts to make sense of it all. _____ SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS VIIA: https://bit.ly/viialewis and use code LEWIS for %15 off ___________________ 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.

    182 - The United States of Insanity
    2024/07/17
    Things are insane! It seems we decided to take a speed run through current events this past weekend. One story alone was enough to make your head spin. But over the course of 72 hours, America was hit with not only an attempted assassination of a former-President-turned-current- candidate. Then, a day later a Florida judge made a controversial decision about the same former-President-turned-current-candidate. Then, a day after that former-President-turned-current-candidate selected someone as his potential Vice President who once hated him but now loves him? Oh, and the former-President-turned-current-candidate had to pick the new running mate because he tried to have his last one killed. You follow? But it made for a good photo op, right? We’re at least united in our insanity. ___________________ 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.

    181 - What's Next?
    2024/07/10
    This past week was Independence day and it seems the world has gone mad. Most of the country is in the midst of a heatwave. The press is having a field day with our candidates in a Presidential election that costs too much money. But it’s also going on for too long and leaking into a previously-declared politics-free summer. The GOP candidate is doing his darndest to erase all the progress of the 20th Century with the worst of takes on pretty much every social issue while the Dems are coming to grips with their candidate’s health. That said, there is still a functioning government out there, you just need to find it. We have one listener rant this week and it’s a special one from Greg Douglass. Why only one? Because his story as a military veteran attempting to navigate his health issues post service is so very relevant to hear on the 4th of July. If anyone out there can help Greg and his situation, please drop an email to rantcast@thesyn.com and we will work to get you connected to this Veteran. ___________________ 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.

    180 - The Truth?
    2024/07/03
    What a wild week, so much has happened in the world. One thing is enough to make your ears bleed, but we in the US are dealing with more than one thing. To sum it all up, we have people who can't say the truth while others need to come to grips with it. The debates, SCOTUS decisions, re-elections, church and state, it all seemed to come to a head this week, time to unpack it all. ___________________ 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.

    178 - Inside Out 2
    2024/06/19
    Lewis stars in the new Pixar film, Inside Out 2 reprising his role as the character of Anger in the film. The film landed atop the box office opening weekend and to date is has the best opening weekend in 2024. So congratulations are in order for our favorite animated emotion. Lewis spent the days leading up to the release doing press with his fellow cast members at Disneyland California before attending the movie's premiere. And on this week's episode of the Rantcast (recorded before the opening weekend numbers were released) he recaps his trip to the West Coast and his experience with the film. And if you want to go see the movie, check out tickets and times here. ___________________ 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.
