Summary

This week on the Rantcast, Lewis ponders why we’re live in a constant heightened state of stress. It’s supposed to snow, but according to the news reports its snowmageddon. Border problems can’t seem to be solved because politicians sabotage themselves. One old person is running for office, let’s make it two. Two celebrities can’t just be dating, they have to be part of a larger political conspiracy. Can’t just watch the Super Bowl, you have to watch a game within a game, within a game. Empty Nesters can’t handle being empty nesters, so they hire people to keep them company. It’s more than most can stand, Lewis realizes and is here to call B.S. on it. Rant #1 – Richard just wanted to eat an apple but that desire was thwarted. Rant #2 – Audrey weaves a tale about her HVAC tribulations. Rant #3 – Lane is a military veteran who has endured too much red tape for too many years. Rant #4 – Ken really wonders why the government devotes resources to keep stupid people alive. Rant #5 – Eve learns about the odd ritual in which they celebrate the New Year in her town. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ 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.lewisblack.com/live _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.

0:07.0	Hello there and welcome to the 161st edition, that's right, of Lewis Black's rantcast entitled Beyond
0:17.0	Insane, Beyond Cray, Cray. Yes, that's all I got this week in terms of it. I don't, I've sat here
0:25.3	racked my brain for a title, okay? And I don't even know how to describe because it's catch up
0:31.3	with stuff that I've missed and the pile of nonsense grows higher and higher. And we have, we are, we are, I don't know what is beyond insane
0:41.2	or if there's a cray-cray to the 50th power.
0:44.7	I just love saying cray-cray.
0:46.9	Let me first off say that the 161st edition, which I said was last week was not the 161st. It was the 160th. This is the 161st edition, which I said was last week, was not the 161st. It was the 160th. This is the 161st.
0:59.5	And I'd also like to say that I would actually said the happy Valentine's Day, which was a

1:39.9	stuff. All sorts of that wonderful Valentine's Day stuff. Hello. I just wanted to catch up on the places I'll be performing.
1:47.0	On February 23rd, heading back finally to St. Louis, Missouri, actually, to Chesterfield, Missouri,
1:55.0	just outside of St. Louis, or so they tell me.
1:58.0	And I will be appearing at the factory there, followed by February 24th at the Diamond
2:05.2	and the Ruff.
2:06.4	And it is truly Springfield, Missouri.
