"He had explosive diarrhea coming out of his Whatever."

This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick, Lee and Producer Mike try to make sense of a week where death becomes her, as in Senator "Lady G" Graham, and the scramble to metaphorically (or literally) delete his browsing history.

Also, Mitch McConnell is all dressed up but still in a hospital bed, is he really back from the dead? Why is the FBI raiding Lindsey Graham's closet? And most of the networks finally decided they'd had enough of another presidential speech full of crap, but why now?

The gang dives into Texas politics, the 2028 presidential bench, why younger voters may finally be taking the wheel, and what happens when reality becomes impossible to parody.

Turns out Freedom 250 didn't just flop; it kept getting worse.

Lee is back with Chadrick and Producer Mike to sift through the wreckage of America's birthday party, where empty crowds, rain delays, and Fox News' search for "the massive audience" became comedy gold.

Then it's on to Mitch McConnell conspiracy theories, Ken Paxton's latest drama, Democrats eating their own before the midterms, and why the next generation may finally be ready to take the keys away from the political nursing home.

To end on a lighter note, the guys ask a fun question: If you could travel back to 1996, what would surprise your younger LGBTQ self most about 2026? Marriage equality? Pete Buttigieg? RuPaul's Drag Race becoming mainstream? The answers might surprise you.

What could possibly go wrong? Turns out... pretty much everything.

This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick and Producer Mike watch the Freedom 250 celebration fall apart faster than a Trump business venture. Actually, it IS one and he stole your money to do it. Allegedly.

We're talking collapsing stages, empty crowds, Fox News desperately searching for somebody—anybody—to put behind their cameras, and POTUS apparently workshopping policy ideas with Theodore Roosevelt's ghost.

Somewhere between the world's saddest patriotic festival and the most expensive political vanity project ever built, we also dive into Taylor Swift's reported wedding, Dolly Parton's literacy charity, democratic socialism, and why reality has officially become impossible to parody.

If you've ever wondered whether America is living inside an episode of Veep written by the producers of Tiger King, your are.
