  • Oh, HAIR NO!
    Aug 7 2026

    Trump has a new wig, and honestly... OH, HAIR NO!

    This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick, Lee and Producer Mike start with the political distraction sitting on Trump's head before getting into Fauci pleading the Fifth, political retribution, the economy that's supposedly "the greatest ever," and why there always seems to be something shiny to distract us from the actual problems.

    Then we ask the question Republicans really don't want to hear: What happened to the Republican Party we used to argue with?

    From FDR and LBJ to today's Democratic socialists, Texas politics, and a new generation of politicians who aren't afraid of the S-word, the gang looks at whether today's supposedly radical ideas are actually... pretty damn familiar.

    Plus media outlets manufacturing political brawls, billionaires building bunkers, and the continuing realization that reality has apparently stopped trying to make sense.

  • The Fart of the Deal: Gross Misconduct Edition
    Jul 31 2026

    Broadway meets Beltway in this week's Ranting Out Loud.

    Chadrick, Lee, and Producer Mike turn Washington into one big casting call, deciding which politicians belong in Wicked, Kinky Boots, The Sound of Music, Phantom of the Opera, and, of course... My Fair Lady G.

    Along the way, they tackle the latest political closet gossip, speculate about Mitch McConnell's future, and ask an important question: if Ohio's Bernie Moreno ever starred in a movie, would it be Weekend at Bernie's? And if Kentucky's senior senator landed the role... well... that title suddenly makes even more sense.

    Throw in Lee's mysteriously disappearing microphone, Producer Mike trying to keep the train on the tracks, and enough political absurdity to fill a Broadway season, and you've got another episode where reality still outperforms satire.

    🎙️ Smart. Snarky. LGBTQ. Political. Completely unfiltered.

  • Tate Misbehavin' and Other Bro'dway Tunes
    Jul 24 2026

    Is Washington D.C. hiding the world's worst-kept secret?

    This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick and Producer Mike dive into Hunter Biden's eyebrow-raising interview with Don Lemon, where talk of a "gay mafia" of closeted politicians has everyone asking the question nobody in Congress wants to answer.

    From closeted power players and political blackmail to the obsession with "manliness," testosterone, and the manosphere, the guys wonder if the loudest anti-LGBTQ voices are hiding in the biggest gold-leafed closets with an arched entry.

    Then it's on to POTUS's latest international cringe, getting boo'd, jinxing another team, and properly getting cropped out of World Cup celebration photos. The Tate brothers are in legal trouble again and this time they might not be saved by the administration like last time. We get to the bottom of who's on top of the world of crazy. Don't fight it, join it!
