  • I Never Promised You a Rose Garden ... With Actual Roses
    Jun 20 2025

    This week, the Ranting Out Loud crew tackles the chaos of Friday the 13th and beyond, with Lee, Chadrick, and Producer Mike sharing their juju-filled tales—from black cats and bad luck to theater gossip and political absurdities.

    We’ll dive into the spectacle of the Tony Awards, celebrate Broadway’s brightest (looking at you, Cole Escola!), and unpack the Kennedy Center drama involving drag queens and empty seats for a certain ex-president. Plus, we rant about Trump’s Mar-a-Lago-inspired Rose Garden remodel and explore the Grammys’ very white “Traditional Country” category. #ConcreteGarden #ROL #RantingOutLoud

  • The Girls Are Fighting, Aren't They?
    Jun 13 2025

    Buckle up for a front-row seat to the ultimate billionaire bromance meltdown: Trump vs. Musk drama, Oval Office wig-snatching fantasies, and spicy takes on Epstein files that’ll make you clutch your pearls (or your Diet Coke). We’ll also dish on the Pentagon’s trolling move to rename a Harvey Milk–honoring ship, FEMA’s budget cuts just in time for hurricane season, and whether West Wing reruns could ever prepare you for today’s political circus.

    Happy Pride Month—let the festivities (and the rants) begin!

  • All In All It's Just Another Brick In Your Purse
    Jun 6 2025

    Happy Pride, everyone! This week on Ranting Out Loud, the gang dives into the joy and resistance that define Pride Month. Chadrick rants about rainbow capitalism and a secret weapon in your purse (WWDQD: What Would Drag Queens Do?), while Lee reminisces about the first time he saw a pink triangle on a car—and how it felt like hope. Producer Mike keeps it colorful with trivia about Pride flags, history. Whether you're flying the rainbow or the Progress Pride flag, this episode is a rallying cry for solidarity, resilience, and mandatory snark. Who are our allies, corporate or human? It really does matter. 🌈✊ #PrideWithPurpose #FlagsAndFights #StonewallSpirit
