  • 230 - No Guardrails
    Jul 16 2025
    Well, this was a week where a lot of the checks and balances seemed to disappear before our eyes. That's right, guardrails that used to protect us seem to not be that much of a concern for The Boss and his people. Which probably means it's a big concern for most regular people.

  • 229 - Independence From Empathy
    Jul 9 2025
    Lewis is back from his week-long comedy curation in upstate New York where he spent his 4th of July performing live. He returned to the madness of the day to commiserate with the rest of us about how the Boss’ Big Beautiful Bill isn’t really any of those things. But at least he has Prime Day to look forward too, right? He’s planning on following that up with a safari in Africa, where he hopes by the time he’s scheduled to return, he will be allowed to.

  • 228 - Bomb, de Bomb, Bomb, Boooomb!
    Jul 2 2025
    It’s time to celebrate our nation’s independence. But are we in a renaissance of military spectacular-ness? The Boss seems to think so. Because our recent non-congress approved exercise in Iran would have you to believe that all the Middle East’s issues were solved in just a day or two. It’s worth of giving the Boss a Nobel Peace Prize, right? National intelligence saying otherwise have something different to say. But Lewis is passing the holiday in upstate New York at the Chautauqua Institute where he has curated a week of comedy discussions, a couple of readings of his play The Deal, A live Rant is Due and a performance by Roy Wood Jr. This week we deliver only one rant because it’s worth highlighting, because as we celebrate our country, we want to hear from our military.

  • 227 - Two Weeks Again?
    Jun 25 2025
    It’s take 2 of this week’s Rantcast. Why? Because he completed an entire recording of this week’s episode only to find out the next day enough happened in the world wo warrant a re-recording of the episode. Hence the “Again” being added to the title of the episode. This week Lewis dives into subject matter such as the Middle East, counter terrorism, and discrimination. Really light topics for such a sweltering week.

  • 226 - Toy Soldiers
    Jun 18 2025
    Well, this past week was event-filled. Absolutely insane events like The Boss’ birthday parade thinly veiled as a celebration of America’s military. While that event appeared to be a dud, it still positioned our military personnel as Toy Soldiers. If that wasn’t enough to infuriate you Toy Soldiers were also being utilized in LA to settle non-existent unrest. Almost enough nonsense to forget that totally normal things like Father’s Day occurred as well. Lewis took the opportunity to honor his late father not only a principled man, but fantastic artist. This one is for all the dads out there. ___________________ SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS INDACLOUD - If you’re 21 or older, get 25% OFF your first order + free shipping at IndaCloud with code LEWIS at http://www.inda.shop/LEWIS #indacloudpod RIDGE- Upgrade your wallet today!

  • 225 - Insanity Squared
    Jun 11 2025
    We have ourselves a snappy title for snappy times. This past week we caught ourselves in the middle of the Donald Trump/Elon Musk falling out. That’s right two grown men of unimaginable privilege calling each other names in public. Insanity on all fronts and we all need to figure out how to lessen our exposure to it all because we all know it’s bad for us. While an ill-advised gameshow pitch about immigrants is a terrible way to do that, perhaps you take a hint from Lewis and just get a dog.

  • 224 - Mucho More Madness
    Jun 4 2025
    Madness has taken its hold on all of us. In Lewis’ case it’s actually been Mucho More Madness. He’s tired of talking about it, but what “it” is even is under debate because the truth doesn’t matter. Even after a long holiday break the Mucho More Madness is still too much. Elon was drummed out of Washington, DC. Presumably to detox. The MaHa movement definitely emphasizes the “ha.” But it appears Lewis might have secret weapon to take his mind off things… perhaps a furry little friend? It’s all in this week’s Rantcast.

  • 223 - WTF?
    May 21 2025
    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.
