    188 - The Vibe? Seriously!?
    Aug 28 2024
    Lewis is back from Vegas and after the travel nightmare story from last week, there’s still a lot from the travel that pissed him off. In fact, he didn’t even get the chance to share what his Vegas experience was like (hint, a lot has changed) and how he’s now even more committed to his idea of a new hotel there on the strip. At the same time, the DNC National convention just wrapped and there’s a lot of talk about the vibes that came out of Chicago. While he is still trying to grasp what exactly they mean by “vibes” it seems most people are already turning toward the schedule debates between the two candidates. Ugh, is this election over yet? It’s a good thing we have the long Labor Day weekend to recover from 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.

    187 - Insufferable
    Aug 21 2024
    Lewis was just in Las Vegas performing and while the shows went great, the flight home was anything but. It was as he described it as one of the worst travel experiences of his life. Which is saying a lot for someone whose made a living on the road traveling for decades. This trek included heavy storms, grounded planes, storms, boarding planes, de-boarding planes, and Buffalo. And somewhere in the midst of the chaos he got a buffalo chicken wing omelet, so perhaps it wasn't all bad? ___________________ 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.

    186 - Back on the Yellow Brick Road
    Aug 14 2024
    Lewis is back on the road to complete the final leg on his final tour (dates at www.lewisblack.com) and he has a couple warm-up dates lined up before the fall starts. Mostly to re-learn his act since he’s been trying his hardest to maximize downtime this summer. With dates in Cleveland last weekend and a couple shows in Las Vegas this weekend the road also brings great things like the chance to eat some terrific food. While Lewis might not consider himself a foodie, he certainly does appreciate a good meal, so nobody should be surprised if he becomes a food influencer as he winds down his time on the road. Not a bad way to spend your time. In the headlines Lewis has a follow-up to the Boneless Wing controversy, finds out they make designer fragrances for dogs, and learns about the alleged bad benefits of wearing all black clothes. ___________________ 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.

    185 - The Myth of Sisyphus
    Aug 7 2024
    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"
    Jul 31 2024
    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
    Jul 24 2024
    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
    Jul 17 2024
    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?
    Jul 10 2024
    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.
