"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.

It's straight into Father's Day as Lee, Chadrick, and Producer Mike rank TV's best (and worst) dads—from Phil Dunphy and Ward Cleaver to Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Talking about dads, the biggest dad joke is in the White House as his pet passion projects peel away in failure like the skin on his hands ... and the "patriot blue" paint under the reflecting pool.

Of course, no episode would be complete without a detour into Texas politics, where everyone's favorite absentee-and-going-to-Cancún-during-his-home-state's-ice-emergency dad and runner up for "Fat Wolverine", Ted Cruz, is busy questioning what makes a "real man" ... and James Talarico is busy handing him a master class in how to respond.

What happens when you mix Pride Month, Taylor Swift, Trump getting booed at Madison Square Garden, billionaire space races, hockey grievances, and World Cup predictions?

You get another completely normal episode of Ranting Out Loud.

We go head first into the reflecting pool of politics, sports, the power of Swifties, why billionaires keep getting richer while everyone else gets squeezed, and whether Mexico might just shock the world. Enjoy your Beer-Ritas, basketball comebacks, and as far as the folks at the White House, they can all UFC themselves!

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

AI is making politicians into superheroes and we're counting backwards from 60 Minutes as media companies are busy dismantling themselves. Nobody wants to go to the White House party while America's favorite distraction machine keeps finding shiny new objects for everyone to stare at.

From the slow-motion collapse of trusted journalism to reality-TV politics, streaming obsessions, movie theater nostalgia, and the endless parade of grifts, scandals, and vanity projects, the gang follows the breadcrumbs to the question nobody seems willing to ask:

What are we NOT supposed to be looking at?

Along the way: Pride politics, corporate cowardice, octopus movies that unexpectedly make grown adults cry, and a healthy dose of LGBTQ+ perspective.

This week on Ranting Out Loud, the gang dives headfirst into America's newest reality show: UFC at the White House, gold-plated horse statues, Vanilla Ice headlining democracy's funeral tour, and the ongoing collapse of basic governmental decorum.

Lee, Chadrick, and Producer Mike rant through Trump's carnival-style makeover of Washington, the Texas political chaos surrounding Paxton and Talarico, midterm anxiety, billionaire bunker escapes to Argentina, and why "Idiocracy" is starting to feel less like a comedy and more like a documentary.

From POTUS's revenge politics and GOP infighting to Stephen Colbert's exit, rising voter frustration, and the fight for civil rights history, this week's Ranting Out Loud covers the chaos, the hypocrisy, and the cracks starting to show. Makeup!
