This one was tough as the world suffered the loss of yet another comedic genius. Chadrick and Producer Mike went on with the show to talk about the little bit of joy that keeps being taken from us in a year that's only a month old. So, rant we did about all things Catherine O'Hara, and we ended with our inimitable style of crapping on everyone's mood by discussing journalist arrests and the administration's clowns in masks executing a horrific plan ... and people. Good riddance January!

Between looming icepocalypse anxiety, Ted Cruz fleeing the scene (again), and Republicans insisting January 6 was basically a light cardio event, the guys rant through weather panic, political cowardice, and courtroom absurdity. There's also Hollywood chaos, from messy accusations and Oscar snubs to Netflix openly admitting it's dumbing things down for phone-addicted viewers. Cap it off with a spirited debate over when TV officially jumps the shark, and you've got an episode that's equal parts cultural autopsy and group therapy. Stay warm, safe and ICE free everyone!

Slipping on black ice and straight into 2026, the crew tears into fake AI "experts," Orange-flavored tech grifts, and a political class that somehow keeps getting louder while learning less. There's plenty of ranting about ICE cosplay turning dangerous, confidence masquerading as competence, and why the machines aren't scary. The people using them are. Toss in Drag Race therapy, trashy reality TV castles, and a little queer joy for balance, and you've got an episode that proves the future is here … and we feel no shame?

Kicking off 2026 with fake optimism and zero tolerance for nonsense, the gang takes on POTUS's gold-plated ego tour, pardon shopping for predators, the Kennedy Center imploding in real time, and why some gays keep auditioning for the Leopards Eating Faces Party. Lee literally phones it in and that sends Chadrick and Mike spiraling.

The gang rings in 2026 by side-eyeing celebrity death scrolls, dunking on Christian hypocrisy, clocking Trump's reality-show presidency, and wondering how the hell Chick-fil-A employees stay that cheerful in a collapsing democracy. From quiet papal shade to loud MAGA nonsense, midterm dreams to end-of-life jokes, this episode is equal parts gallows humor, political exasperation, and sheer resilience, because if the world insists on being ridiculous, Ranting Out Loud is happy to be mean about it.

Fresh off Christmas and already out of patience, the guys dive into post-holiday life, like late Amazon gifts, airline meltdowns, family drinking legends, and the existential math of making presents feel "equal." We rant about the orange-o-tan's ego-driven legacy fantasies and drip-fed Epstein revelations to political aides acting like full-time fluffers. Take a tour this Boxing Day through politics, pop culture, and even gay hockey TV!

This holiday episode of Ranting Out Loud proves that nothing says Christmas like casually discussing death. It's all kinds of wrong as we trade forced cheer for gallows humor, unpacking why the season of joy also comes with existential dread, awkward family memories, and the sudden realization that Santa has an expiration date. You know, pretending everything is "merry" can be exhausting, and that's why dark humor is a survival skill. Laughing at the inevitable might actually be the most festive option we've got, folks! Like therapy, without the co-pay.

With Lee stuck in traffic and Chadrick unleashed, the gang spirals from Sound of Music lore to America's latest political circus involving pipe bombers, dual-citizenship hypocrisy, and a press secretary who, based on her logic, should be asking for Melania to be deported. They roast Disney drama, mock absurd CEO decisions, dissect Black Friday disasters, and debate whether Christmas movies are comforting classics or crimes against cinema. Add in mocktails, mom rage, and Julie Andrews dodging helicopter blades, and you've got a delightfully chaotic holiday rant.
