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.

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.

Some episodes can't stay buried… and this one refuses to stay dead. Originally aired in Season 1, we're resurrecting our unnerving interview with real-life exorcist Bishop James Long. From cursed relics and ancient rites to the chilling details of a priest's very first exorcism—this episode dives deep into the shadows of demonology and the battle between good and pure evil. Consider this your warning and don't forget to say, Negative Energy is not allowed before you give this one a listen.

By the time you are reading this Lewis is in South Africa hanging out with some wild animals on a safari. While there are a few parallels between the wild animals running things over here and the wild animals over there, there are also many differences and Lewis runs them all down. Also, this week you are in for a special treat in that the rants come to us from a live Rant Is Due Lewis performed with some friends while up in Chautauqua, NY performing a handful of curated comedy shows. Joining Lewis on stage are some guest ranters ready to let it rip.

Well, this was a week where a lot of the checks and balances seemed to disappear before our eyes. That's right, guardrails that used to protect us seem to not be that much of a concern for The Boss and his people. Which probably means it's a big concern for most regular people.

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.

We have ourselves a snappy title for snappy times. This past week we caught ourselves in the middle of the Donald Trump/Elon Musk falling out. That's right two grown men of unimaginable privilege calling each other names in public. Insanity on all fronts and we all need to figure out how to lessen our exposure to it all because we all know it's bad for us. While an ill-advised gameshow pitch about immigrants is a terrible way to do that, perhaps you take a hint from Lewis and just get a dog.

Madness has taken its hold on all of us. In Lewis' case it's actually been Mucho More Madness. He's tired of talking about it, but what “it” is even is under debate because the truth doesn't matter. Even after a long holiday break the Mucho More Madness is still too much. Elon was drummed out of Washington, DC. Presumably to detox. The MaHa movement definitely emphasizes the “ha.” But it appears Lewis might have secret weapon to take his mind off things… perhaps a furry little friend? It's all in this week's Rantcast.

WTF might just be the best way to collectively describe what's happening currently. As we head into the long holiday weekend we're reminded of how much that simple phrase can define things. Whether it be Lewis attempting to make sense of what his favorite sports teams are doing. Perhaps it can describe anything that RFK did in the last 10 days. Or maybe it can be attributed to the Boss' trip to the Middle East or his “big beautiful bill”. The reality is you can apply a simple WTF to almost anything, go ahead say it out loud, it can be cathartic.

This past weekend we celebrated our Mothers. While they are the most important people in the world to most, to Catholics around the world the selection of a new Pope also ranks up there in importance. White smoke was seen at The Vatican and we have ourselves a new pontiff and this one came with a curveball too as he's from right here in America. That's right, Bob from Chicago is the new Pope. A statement we're bound to get a lot of mileage from.

There are no pleases here, just a hard statement of STOP! A simple request that Lewis makes on behalf of all of us. Whether it be another Signalgate, more silliness out of the mouths of public health officials, the Pope passing away, oh yeah and remember George Santos? He finally faced justice. It's all too much, so just STOP!

This week we are diving into the wildest corners of the internet. From the Idiots of Facebook Marketplace group to niche communities like Theater Set Design, and the secretive upside-down-pineapple parents of Facebook. We unpack the bizarre true story of the infamous 1800s raining meat mystery in Bath County, Kentucky, yap about terrible tattoos, and the strangely wholesome Fish Doorbell from the Netherlands. Think that's it? No we somehow are STILL CHATTING. We spill the tea on seeing Sarah Snook in The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway, reminisce about Aly & AJ's cameo in The Sims 2, and the lasting impact of Mumford & Sons.
