WTF might just be the best way to collectively describe what’s happening currently. As we head into the long holiday weekend we’re reminded of how much that simple phrase can define things. Whether it be Lewis attempting to make sense of what his favorite sports teams are doing. Perhaps it can describe anything that RFK did in the last 10 days. Or maybe it can be attributed to the Boss’ trip to the Middle East or his “big beautiful bill”. The reality is you can apply a simple WTF to almost anything, go ahead say it out loud, it can be cathartic.

This past weekend we celebrated our Mothers. While they are the most important people in the world to most, to Catholics around the world the selection of a new Pope also ranks up there in importance. White smoke was seen at The Vatican and we have ourselves a new pontiff and this one
came with a curveball too as he’s from right here in America. That’s right, Bob from Chicago is the new Pope. A statement we’re bound to get a lot of mileage from.

Lewis has returned from some shows performed at his Alma Mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Was it a fun visit for nostalgia trip? Or, as he put it, might’ve been an acid flashback. But while Lewis had all the intentions about talking about performing at his college longer, the news of the day needed to be addressed and boy is there a lot – from The Boss’s declaration for everyone to have to tighten their doll and pencil budgets, how AI might be picking a new Pope, or a “necessary” military parade? It has us all harkening back to simpler times, perhaps when we were in college and just having a great time without much a care in the world.

There are no pleases here, just a hard statement of STOP! A simple request that Lewis makes on behalf of all of us. Whether it be another Signalgate, more silliness out of the mouths of public health officials, the Pope passing away, oh yeah and remember George Santos? He finally faced justice. It’s all too much, so just STOP!

Lewis is back from Georgia where he held his invitational golf outing and has some people to thank for their work in making it all happen and the people at the Luv U Project who work day in and day out to better assist people’s mental health. But as soon as he’s back from a couple day sabbatical, the nonsense of the news has returned.

There’s a joke in there somewhere but Lewis can’t seem to find the setup to start it. It’s so psychotic in real life that you need to be even more psychotic to write the setup for the joke. Why the title? Well that's mostly because when you can't seem to wrap your head around what's happening, you say "sure, why not?"

Like many Lewis has something to look forward to this week because baseball is back and he has a full season of watching the Baltimore Orioles to distract him from the madness of life. Which, as the title of this week's Rantcast, seem to be coming at us at the pace of at least once daily. From Signalgate to the FDA. Are things getting too woke for you? Then ban all the words! Graduate students are disappearing from our streets and a New Jersey lady needs her emotional support chickens. But hey! At least we now know that when things get dicey you can now order armed protection as easy as you can hail a rideshare.
This week's rants come to us from Canada. Lewis just wrapped a run up North and Canadians have even more things to rant about.

Lewis has returned from a run of dates up north in Canada. Tariffs be damned. He reflects on his week up there and how it was against the backdrop of our administration’s current actions against our longtime neighbor up North. Lewis’ most-recent tour stops being Florida and Canada allow him to identify the differences between the two audiences.

It’s another week of us trying to make sense of the world around us. Turns out it’s a tough task. Lewis hit the road for the first time in a while and with that involves Lewis shaking the rust and remembering his act and parts he wants to add. During this process it’s also important to stay off Twitter as the feedback can be tough on one’s mental health. Meanwhile protests have popped up pretty much everywhere you can think of just in time for the Democrats not being able to form a unified front. Their first failure at the wrong time.

It’s time for part 2. Lewis finds himself still in the train of thought as last week, just truly baffled by recent events. And since things are a nonstop firehose of bullshit, there’s even more to break down. The Washington Post takes heat for boneheaded decisions and what exactly went down in the Oval Office when Zelenskyy visited?

This week Lewis has so much to cover that it’s a 2-parter! Our current state of affairs has us all having the collective experience of living what one person’s idea of reality is. Whether it be terrible cabinet picks or the mess that mass layoffs are causing, there just doesn't seem to be enough oxygen (or air) in the room, because we only get to breathe the King's oxygen.. While in the past we might’ve taken ourselves out into the woods and yell at trees at the top of our lungs, it’s cold outside so instead Lewis is using the Rantcast as an opportunity to wonder out loud, "what the actual hell is going on?"

Things are getting crazy out there and not just our current political climate. Lewis was reminded
of that this week when the fairly simple task of getting a new computer was met with the corporate machinations of not 1 but 2 different organizations pissing him off. The frustration grew when Uber Eats got involved, yes you read that correctly Uber Eats. It’s a wild tale of one man trying is best to not lose his mind as he navigates the ins and outs of companies wanting to help, but for some reason just can’t seem to utilize logic at every turn.

Lewis has always liked the title of the play Idiot’s Delight and it certainly seems to be describing the times that we are currently in. As the world spent a collective moment watching The Super Bowl this weekend, Lewis has a message for the NFL and its almighty self-importance. Big game aside, each passing day seems to sound a red alert in our nation’s capital and though he might be able to give our Leader credit for one thing, that good will is dashed almost immediately with bad cabinet choices, dismantling of agencies, and the proposal to put his face on Mt. Rushmore? While the GOP get’s its fair share of “Fuck You’s” this week, Lewis has some for the Dems as well. All in a week’s work. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that one of our longer rants of the week are about bidets and the need to keep your ass clean.

Chaos, it seems to be all around us these days and its pretty much the last thing Lewis wants to talk about though he feel compelled to. Chaos is the feature of this administration and our Leader it at its center. From unfathomable Executive Orders to cabinet members without any sort of qualifications for the job they’re being nominated for. And just when you think it could not get much worse, we get unspeakable tragedies like the DC plane crash and totally botched response. But we are not alone, as this week’s rants can attest to there are plenty of people out there who might just be feeling the same. It’s one week at a time and as suggested last week, we have our next distraction coming up with the Super Bowl on the horizon.

It’s the time of year where Lewis realizes just how smart bears are for just shutting it down for the winter. Commanders because his favorite football team made a fantastic run this season and almost made it to the big game. Now if they can just do something about their name. Oh, and the team's former owner sucks.

Many might find it funny, but the joke is on us as a new president begins his term. The punchlines seem to write themselves even before Lewis can make the joke. Bad executive orders are a joke, the cabinet is a joke, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, buying Greenland? The punchlines write themselves! Essentially we’ve lost the laughter and have stopped laughing. As a comedian or not, its probably a bad thing.

As Lewis records his first Rantcast episode of 2025 on January 6th, he’s reminded of where we were 4 years ago on this day. Over the years the US has seen its fair share of political unrest, so comparisons become quite inevitable. Right now it seems like people are at odds because the reality of what even occurred that day continues to to be in question. That “reality” alone might just be the lasting impression of what happened back in 2020. And the problems still
persist as we grapple with continued homegrown terrorism with the most recent attacks that occurred in New Orleans and in Las Vegas.
The unfortunate end to everything that’s happened to us since Columbine is the evidentiality that we are just filling the calendar with all the traumas we’ve experienced as a society. Just celebrations of all the pain broken down by the days of the year.

It's the last Rantcast of 2024. Well, technically the first of 2025 and a recap of the year that just wrapped is in order. The difference here is that it's been done before, so the essence of the message is to wish you well for the new year.

It's December 25th and it's not only Christmas Day but the first day of Hanukkah. Something that doesn't happen often. In fact, it's so rare that all the drones tormenting New Jersey stopped flying apparently. Must be clearing the path for Santa.
