The title really says it all. Lewis, like most of us, is near the end of his ability to properly describe what’s happening with our administration using words existing in the English language.

Well, it's been about a week since Lewis returned from his vacation and it only took about a week for all the nonsense to wash over him again. Is anyone else sick and tired of being sick and tired?

I enjoy hearing Lewis’s intelligent and compassionate opinions, hilarious reading of rants, and stories about the stuff he does outside of comedy.
Love how you put the screws to those who voted against their own interest week in and week out. As the farms and meat plants are raided and workers become scarce prices skyrocket and your SNAP and WIC in red states are being taken from you and your health insurance and rural medical facilities close , Lewis you truly find a way to them see there own ….. thank you good sir.
Always love to watch anything by Lewis Black. He always has me in stitches. I lost my eyesight a year and a half ago and the good news is I can still listen to Lewis Black and enjoy it and have lots of laughs considering my circumstances thank you Louis for always making me laugh, even during hard times
I heard you as a guest on a podcast of NPR's show "Wait, wait Don't Tell Me", of which I'm a regular listener. I then did a search to see if you had a PC of your own. Full marks, Lewis. I am now a regular listener. You could be the Will Rogers of our times, and much needed IMO, with the craziness going on now.
Louis, I love love love you but the way you repeat yourself I guess to make a point is beyond annoying, especially in your most latest episode.. why do you need to repeat things over and over and over and over again?? Please go back and listen to your last episode and tell me if you don't feel annoyed??

A long-running, anger-fueled comedy show that blends sharp political critique with personal travel anecdotes, audience-submitted rants, and blistering takes on current events. The host uses a high-energy, punchy ranting style to vent about politics, media culture, and societal absurdities, often weaving in reader submissions and live ad reads. Noteworthy are the frequent audience contributions, the mix of political fire with absurd humor, and charitable or community-oriented through-lines that ground the monologue in real-world issues. Potential listeners who enjoy unfiltered, outspoken humor and timely social commentary are likely to find this show engaging, cathartic, and repeatedly provocative. A standout feature is the consistent person... more
