Summary

How's your bracket doing? The NCAA College Basketball tournament is Lewis' favorite sporting event of the year. It also serves as a good distraction from the lunacy of the day. A Spring that doesn't seem to have sprung yet. An election cycle that goes on and on. A former President's many, many days in court. Boeing's continued lack of quality control, and perhaps most traumatizing... the discontinuation of dollar hot dog night in Philly. RANT #1 – Michael Franke believes in the art of the argument. RANT #2 – Walter Newcomb takes issue with mispronouncing words. RANT #3 – Ginger Dowtle is PISSED about immigration, government, infrastructure, you name it. RANT #4 – Greg Jones is enraged about Global Warming. RANT #5 – Martino Emilo believes lawmakers have let our children down. RANT #6 – Noah Allen wonders how a President can divide a country. RANT #7 – Nancy Schulman believes we should regulate sperm. ___________________ 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.livelewis.com _____________________ 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.

Hello there and welcome to the 166th edition of Lewis Flax Rantcast entitled March Madness.

0:16.0

And it truly is. It's named, of course, after the basketball.

0:21.6

But really, it describes and is a metaphor for what is fucking happening right here on our own shores as we continue to just beat our heads against a wall of nonsense and hoo-ha, fluff, bullshit, insanity, anything.

0:38.9

I just, it is beyond belief what continues to occur out there.

0:44.0

And it's stunning.

0:46.5

It's stunning to the point that, thank God for the destruction, for the distraction.

0:56.4

One is the destruction. One is the destruction, the other March Madness, but the distraction of basketball,

1:02.8

which is why I'm actually doing this, the rantcast today, a little, a lot earlier than I normally would.

1:10.4

I'd normally be doing it

1:11.9

after the upcoming weekend. I haven't got time. I've got basketball games to watch. I have

1:18.3

brackets that I need to follow. I have boxes, scores that, you know, you pick the, you get a box

1:26.5

and it tells you, you know, what, if one team

1:29.5

scores zero and the other team scores nine, you know, if it's 70 to 69, who, Lewis is a winner.

1:36.7

Could be 60 to 59. You know, those, the boxes like with, like they have with football.

1:46.9

And, but I just love this. And, those, the boxes like with, like they have with football. And, but I just love this.

1:57.8

And, and, and here's a tip. I should really just publish what the picks. And you can pick against me and probably do very, very well. And it'll be interesting to see if I'm waiting for the time in which I do the picks and

2:05.7

then check and find out that all of the picks that I made, if I'd done the opposite, I would

2:12.6

have been, I would have had the best record in the country.

2:16.1

It's going to be an amazing tournament.

2:18.3

I'm serious.

2:19.0

If you love basketball, forget what's happening out there and focus on it.
