169 - Eclipsed by the Eclipse
from Lewis Black's Rantcast · host Lewis Black
It was a week of happenings, not just for Lewis but for the nation as we experienced not only the Solar Eclipse, but a large earthquake for a swath of people in the East. Lewis found himself in Arizona for a charity golf outing, still managing to see the eclipse. Was it the advertised 75% darkness it was advertised as? Maybe not. Unfortunately, the usual crazies bubble up with conspiracy theories around these natural phenomenon (of course). Other newsworthy events include the dreaded annual Tax Day and the death of OJ Simpson opens re-ignites old wars in what might’ve been the inflection point of a new way the media operates. The rants are live this week as Lewis works through some live dates in the Northeast. Speaking of tour dates, fall dates of The Goodbye Yeller Brick Road have been announced and by the time you read this, they will be on sale through the F.U.C.K.U fan club with public on sale occurring Friday, April 19th . RANT #1 – Alan Whitman has a complaint about Maine’s new beer laws RANT #2 – PN hates the Maine Weather RANT #3 – A student from the University of Maine’s rants about its amenities RANT #4 – Wayne Harvey wants people to know it’s just a comedy show ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to get off your chest? http://www.livelewis.com _____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST http://www.lewisblacksrantcast.com ____________________ FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack https://twitter.com/thelewisblack https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack https://www.youtube.com/OfficialLewisBlack Learn more about your ad choices.
