It's the final Rantcast of 2025 and Lewis reflects on the past year. Mostly attributing it to the political absurdity that's plagued us and continues to plague us. Lewis also remembers two colleagues who recently passed from his drama school days. And he'd be remiss to leave you without a few fresh rants for you to ring in the new year.

In this bonus episode, we break down Yolanda Adams' now-viral statement that "God is bigger than gender" — and why church folks absolutely lost their minds over it.

The government is shutdown but meanwhile the Ice Raids continue. We're approaching 40 days and there's plenty of blame going around, meanwhile there's lawsuits about people's SNAP benefits. Is there no money? Not sure because meanwhile a $300M ballroom is being built and Elon Musk is making trillions. Boats are being blown up with no signs of oversight, meanwhile the president wants to name a new stadium after himself. You are not losing your sanity, because that's really what's happening out in the world.

This episode's rants come from us from the final stop on Lewis' final tour, The Goodbye Yellerbrick Road tour in Williamsport, PA. Capping decades of the road.

For generations, the church has told believers, "Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." But what if Jesus never called us to perfection — only to wholeness? In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes to unpack how toxic theology, respectability, and race have shaped our obsession with perfection — and how we can finally get free. This episode of Holy Smokes: Cigars and Spirituality is proudly sponsored by Eden Theological Seminary. Join Eden online or in-person for an unforgettable evening with Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes as she delivers her lecture, "When Identity Wounds: Whiteness, Shame, and the Search for Repair."
Ray is an entrepreneur who grew up in Turkey and now lives in Mexico with his family. Like many, he once believed there was a path he was supposed to follow: after college, he expected to become a computer engineer, build a retirement plan, and retire at 66 to “finally start living life.” But fate had other plans. In 2006, a television commercial changed the course of his life. It posed the question: “If they were to write a book about your life, would anybody want to read it?” Sitting in his condo in Cleveland, Ray realized that on the path he was on, even he wouldn't want to read his own story. That moment sparked a dramatic shift. Within 90 days, he had quit his job, sold everything he owned, and moved to Mexico to volunteer at a research center near the Guatemalan border, serving indigenous communities. It was there that he met his future wife, who happened to be his Spanish teacher. In what he jokes was another case of “impulse control issues,” they decided to get married and start a business together at the same time — a risky move he doesn't necessarily recommend, though it worked out for them. Since 2008, Ray has launched more than 20 profitable companies and sold four of them, many in partnership with his wife. Despite his track record, he admits he still often feels like he doesn't fully know what he's doing — a reminder, he says, that the more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know.

Keith Kakadia is the co-founder and CEO of Sociallyin, a social-media-only agency he started in college that has grown into a 50-person team working with brands like Samsung, Carnival Cruise Line, and Nikon. Over the past 14 years, he's turned Sociallyin into one of the top-ranked agencies in the U.S., known for blending creativity, data, and community engagement at scale. But Keith's path hasn't been a straight line—it's been a series of calculated risks, late nights, and bold experiments.

Beyond running Sociallyin, Keith is passionate about building systems that make businesses more efficient, mentoring up-and-coming entrepreneurs, and exploring how AI can transform creative industries. He brings a candid, unvarnished view of entrepreneurship—the wins, the losses, and the lessons learned along the way.

Lewis takes a hard look at the idea of this past week's events actually being a turning point in the US. Mostly because he feels it's been said before. Inflammatory rhetoric that seems to do nothing but prove we need more adults in the room at a time of crisis. Buckle up because there seems to be nobody with a strong hand on the wheel. Yes, the political landscape is a combo platter of ineffectiveness and it seems to be seeping in more and more aspects of our society.

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️
It's time to celebrate our nation's independence. But are we in a renaissance of military spectacular-ness? The Boss seems to think so. Because our recent non-congress approved exercise in Iran would have you to believe that all the Middle East's issues were solved in just a day or two. It's worth of giving the Boss a Nobel Peace Prize, right? National intelligence saying otherwise have something different to say. But Lewis is passing the holiday in upstate New York at the Chautauqua Institute where he has curated a week of comedy discussions, a couple of readings of his play The Deal, A live Rant is Due and a performance by Roy Wood Jr. This week we deliver only one rant because it's worth highlighting, because as we celebrate our country, we want to hear from our military.

Well, this past week was event-filled. Absolutely insane events like The Boss' birthday parade thinly veiled as a celebration of America's military. While that event appeared to be a dud, it still positioned our military personnel as Toy Soldiers. If that wasn't enough to infuriate you Toy Soldiers were also being utilized in LA to settle non-existent unrest. Almost enough nonsense to forget that totally normal things like Father's Day occurred as well. Lewis took the opportunity to honor his late father not only a principled man, but fantastic artist. This one is for all the dads out there.
