  • Freedom 250: A Faceplant Like No Other
    Jul 3 2026

    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.

  • UFC: Ultimate Failure Clowns ... With Dad Jokes
    Jun 19 2026

    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.

  • Who Knew Swift and Sage Gets Rid of Orange Stains?
    Jun 12 2026

    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!
