Slipping on black ice and straight into 2026, the crew tears into fake AI "experts," Orange-flavored tech grifts, and a political class that somehow keeps getting louder while learning less. There's plenty of ranting about ICE cosplay turning dangerous, confidence masquerading as competence, and why the machines aren't scary. The people using them are. Toss in Drag Race therapy, trashy reality TV castles, and a little queer joy for balance, and you've got an episode that proves the future is here … and we feel no shame?

Kicking off 2026 with fake optimism and zero tolerance for nonsense, the gang takes on POTUS's gold-plated ego tour, pardon shopping for predators, the Kennedy Center imploding in real time, and why some gays keep auditioning for the Leopards Eating Faces Party. Lee literally phones it in and that sends Chadrick and Mike spiraling.

The gang rings in 2026 by side-eyeing celebrity death scrolls, dunking on Christian hypocrisy, clocking Trump's reality-show presidency, and wondering how the hell Chick-fil-A employees stay that cheerful in a collapsing democracy. From quiet papal shade to loud MAGA nonsense, midterm dreams to end-of-life jokes, this episode is equal parts gallows humor, political exasperation, and sheer resilience, because if the world insists on being ridiculous, Ranting Out Loud is happy to be mean about it.

Fresh off Christmas and already out of patience, the guys dive into post-holiday life, like late Amazon gifts, airline meltdowns, family drinking legends, and the existential math of making presents feel "equal." We rant about the orange-o-tan's ego-driven legacy fantasies and drip-fed Epstein revelations to political aides acting like full-time fluffers. Take a tour this Boxing Day through politics, pop culture, and even gay hockey TV!

This holiday episode of Ranting Out Loud proves that nothing says Christmas like casually discussing death. It's all kinds of wrong as we trade forced cheer for gallows humor, unpacking why the season of joy also comes with existential dread, awkward family memories, and the sudden realization that Santa has an expiration date. You know, pretending everything is "merry" can be exhausting, and that's why dark humor is a survival skill. Laughing at the inevitable might actually be the most festive option we've got, folks! Like therapy, without the co-pay.

With Lee stuck in traffic and Chadrick unleashed, the gang spirals from Sound of Music lore to America's latest political circus involving pipe bombers, dual-citizenship hypocrisy, and a press secretary who, based on her logic, should be asking for Melania to be deported. They roast Disney drama, mock absurd CEO decisions, dissect Black Friday disasters, and debate whether Christmas movies are comforting classics or crimes against cinema. Add in mocktails, mom rage, and Julie Andrews dodging helicopter blades, and you've got a delightfully chaotic holiday rant.

December kicks off with RFK Jr.'s disgusting, well, everything. Plus, there's POTUS's Photoshopped Thanksgiving fantasy and GOP chaos so bad even Marjorie Taylor Greene is hitting the eject button. Like a groundhog in February, the first lady emerges from the dark for a tree welcoming ceremony and then promptly disappears. There are Congress members sprinting for the exits and a White House remodel that looks more Vegas casino than democracy. Basically it looks like sh!t clad in gold, with more sh!t on top. There you have it. You've got another non-award-winning episode of Ranting Out Loud. Happy Friday everyone!

The crew kicks off Black Friday with a rant about corporate madness before diving headfirst into Wicked mania, Ariana-and-Cynthia heroics, and whether musicals should sing every damn line. From stuffing vs. dressing wars, premature Christmas décor, and drunk-Santa holiday movies to Die Hard debates, AI delusionals, and a deep dive into Golden Girls backstage beef, this episode mixes nostalgia, pop culture, political shade and few horror-movie mashups that definitely lead to accidental porn.
