Nashville?

[@judithrapier7500]

I will give you the advice my family gave to me. You can't change stupid. Ignore them then block those people that obviously don't believe we are allowed our own opinion, just like they do. We love your humor. We get it. They obviously don't.

[@TheGuinever]

Ignoring stupid carries with it significant risks! I NEVER thought this country was so gullible as to fall for Donald Trump's shtick. Look how wrong I was! Look how much DAMAGE he has done! We actually need to pay attention to stupidity on a mass scale. If we don't, the country will be toast soon.

[@Songbird277]

As my father said upon dropping me at my apartment 5 months into CoVid, « eh, there’s idiots everywhere, nothing can be done, just wear ur mask and take care of yourself, you’ll be just fine »

[@lalah9481]

Happy birthday Lew🎉. Jordan is grey because he’s dead inside. Yaaayyy rubber chicken! You do you Lew. Your humor and wisdom have kept me sane these last few insane years.💖

[@FM-uz6jn]

Thank you for bringing the rants for 150 episodes. It was so nice to get a cameo from the rubber chicken. I am sure he had some choice words about the house of reps off camera. Candy corn is insane. I think my soul left my body the last time I had some, but it might have just been all the dye and sugar. Thanks to all the ranters for affirming that we’re all going nuts about the same things.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

150 episodes .. 🎉🎉🎉congrats Lewis. I so enjoy your dose of reality thank you for these looking forward to your next visit to NorCal maybe this time the roads will be better 😂😂😂 and I can make it to a show since I didn’t make it to the Redding show .

[@ElizabethClark-r3i]

"Go do what you need to get done", best line here and how I feel most days. Congrats on 150!

[@andyb1653]

I get what you mean, but when you think about it, that line of thinking is what got us Trump and his parade of wannabe-Trumps. It really depends on the person, and what they want to "get done".

[@ElizabethClark-r3i]

well in this context it was about "Get off my cloud" and go about your business@@andyb1653

[@BabbetteChoquette-po5hx]

Happy 150th Episode, Lewis🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I can relate to all of your rants!! One of mine is 'Open Here' . It's usually the last place that still won't open... I wrote a thesis in college on the subject. Try and open a mac n cheese box, just rip the top off and hope the pasta doesn't go flying all over the kitchen. Chip bags have their own situations; you end up smashing potato chips, or you try to pull it open by pinching each side of the bag, if that works, more often than not, the chips go flying and break all over. Water and soda bottles; I have had to use pliers or ask a passerby, "Could you please open my soda bottle?" sometimes it can take asking several people, because they just think you are being weird.

[@andyb1653]

I find puncturing the box with a kitchen knife beforehand, right on the bottom edge of the perforated tab, helps you tear the top off without all the drama. Just make sure you don't puncture the bag of cheese powder at the same time.

[@slaphappysmokey1]

I would LOVE to read your thesis! I feel the same way about that whole "open here" junk. Seriously, I think it was done by companies to make you lose your shit just so we buy more.

[@dcarlk48]

Sorry to have missed your show in Spokane. Happy 150th.

[@Ichimokulover]

You’re connecting with me beautifully, Lewis, so keep trusting your instincts. Feels like you’re right here with me, voicing my thoughts and feelings about the madness around us, yet somehow making it all a bit more manageable. And for that, I thank you. P.S. Ignore the assholes on Twitter, okay?

[@LimitlessThinker]

Congratulations on the 150 Lewis! 🎉🎉🎉

[@andyb1653]

Here's to 150 more. Even if Lew has to live to be 130 years old, he's gotta keep doing this. We lost Stewart, and Colbert is only operating at 50% effectiveness. We NEED this dude.

[@heathercrews407]

Kathleen is magical! That candy corn plushie is adorable. Definitely wearing a costume on Halloween. Maybe a “ Lewis Black cat lady eating from a bowl of candy corn, wearing a kilt”? ( the kilt-thing may be just for me…..

[@BabbetteChoquette-po5hx]

I try to watch all of your rants. I used to watch you on "The Daily Show". I have not had cable or internet for over three years. So, I was tickled to find you on youtube.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ CELEBRATION OF YOUR 15OTH EPISODE🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈

[@ChIGuY-town22_]

Happy birthday Lewis, hope ya have a blast 😇 Never change - Be you - You rock and have such wisdom and humor 🥰 Thank you for all you do 🥰

[@kimloureiro177]

Happy Birthday Lewis!! Yes!! Rubber Chicken!!

[@chacha59]

Love Love Love Lewis Black!! 😍Been listening to him for many many years!!

[@terryasmus719]

Lewis you were fantastic on "The Daily Show" I laughed till I cried at your antics. Don't ever change. Go Lewis Go🤣

[@johnmartin4764]

You and your show is great!

[@tekkaman-blade]

So happy to not just hear from, but SEE, the Rubber Chicken make a surprise return for the momentous occasion! I hope he realizes that there are many of us that miss his biting commentary on the day’s events. I wish him well and pray for his more permanent return! And congrats on 150 episodes, Lewis!

[@alainsavard3680]

Thanks for the return of the rubber chicken Lewis.

[@greatboniwanker]

Hello Rubber Chicken!😅 🎉Congratulations 🎊

[@DanEaton73]

My heart burst and I died, oh Chicken, how I have longed for thee...

[@EpicJasonX9000]

Happy Birthday Lew, and a Happy Halloween to everyone else! I hope you’ve hired Michael Myers to keep the candy corn at bay! XD

[@dongordayiii6976]

I love you, man. I really do. I wish I had seen you live when I sill lived in the US. Happy 150th podcast!

[@resonantmoonaudio]

Rubber chicken !!! I've missed him

[@kellytrimble7019]

Thanks so much for your rants! I absolutely love you & was crushed to see you weren’t coming to Nashville 😢 but of all places Duluth! A cursed frozen wasteland I spent the two coldest winters of my life in! 😂 Please include us in your next tour! ❤

[@ATChick]

Congratulations on 150 🎉

[@robertmseay7641]

Hooray for the return of the rubber chicken!

[@thelonelyvoyeur5563]

So happy to see Rubber Chicken again, he has been missed and I do hope he comes back again soon...

[@heathercrews407]

The nurse’s rant. That’s everything.

[@reallymysterious4520]

By episode 175 you'll be at 200K subscribers

[@kenbranaugh8251]

Thanx Lewis!

[@Azmodius12]

So glad to see the chicken is okay

[@midnightreader84]

I was always told that you feed candy corn to Santa's reindeer and there was always some of it left over by Christmas, along with cookies.

[@BabbetteChoquette-po5hx]

Thank you for trying to stop stupid!!!❤

[@dangerouslysane]

Awesome to see the Rubber Chicken AND the Candy Corn Devil that Kathleen Madigan gave you!

[@pamelanichols804]

Do you remember the movie "its a mad mad mad world". I feel like I'm in that movie or at least 2 steps from the asylum.

[@theresakaplanamuso6342]

Hi Lewis!!

[@1MysteryZ1967]

Awesome math. So, if the devil is inside candy corn, and everyone eats candy corn, then the devil is inside us all yet again… 😂

[@JohnZipay-q1k]

All Hail The Rubber Chicken!

[@vorpalbunny4091]

Frikken YAY! Wahooooo for Rubber Chicken! ❤❤‍🩹❤🐔

[@andreawalker7138]

Yea, Rubber Chicken!! (And Yea, Lewis 😁)

[@Huneidu]

Great to hear the rubber chicken

[@stevesargent4269]

I'll help push that rock back up!

[@rao4sos]

I think you should fit in an Al Jolson tribute show. I'm sure you can sing. Looking forward.

[@iamanomas]

No Trump supporter will ever admit that they voted for him when it finally comes to pass that their hero was and is a predator - sexual and otherwise. My family has temporarily split because of this total a-hole. When this coming year has passed us by, I hope we can reconcile.

[@andyb1653]

As much as I respect and agree with Lew's opinions on most things, we'll never agree on candy corn. If candy corn tastes like sh*t, then I guess sh*t tastes great and we've been using the wrong f*cking euphemism for "this tastes BAD" the whole time. I f*ckin' LOVE that stuff, and am sad it's only available this time of year. I'll happily put myself into a diabetic coma with my beloved corn-shaped, congealed glucose/HFCS paste. It's pure f*cking sugar and I love it.

[@terasesnyder1626]

I think it's like cilantro, you either love it or gag

[@andyb1653]

@@terasesnyder1626 Aye, that's a fair assessment

[@annescholten9313]

Welcome back, rubber chicken.❤

[@lslerbrtson1]

I adore ya!

[@Lewisblack21yk]

Thanks dear I really appreciate you I hope you get to attend my shows recently

Congratz Opa Lewis hehhe❤

[@capicolaspicy]

You could not be more wrong Lewis Black, Halloween is for everyone adults and children alike and I will never stop dressing up for Halloween but I did give up trick-or-treating at least LOL.

[@buckbaumann773]

So nobody booked you at the Weidner Center in Green Bay?

[@baldbabyface]

Great show !! Thanks

[@birdsdaword]

150 episodes! Yay! Nerd here. I would drive a long ways to go to a Doctor Who Star Trek etc. bar. I am not a sports fan. In fact I love your rants but both you and Jimmy Kimmel are big sports fans. And I think you guys are really funny but that's when I go to the bathroom.

[@steelgriffin7716]

I dunno I kinda actually like candy corn.

[@johnrusselljr89]

Alright the Chicken 🐔!

[@drgallup]

Still waiting for the Baltimore Colts to make a come back. Seriously!

[@johnhelm6231]

Good jokes you look great don’t eat candy corn lol😅😮🎉

Conservatives should nominate Jesus and the liberals should nominate the Dahli Llama.

Rubber chicken! Yay . ?

Roxanne, you don't need to put on the wing white.

Go Ginger MKE Brewers 😊 150 (!)

I'm with Roxanne! Wings Without Sports - Fly, Be Free

[@Styphon]

Call it "X Wings" 😜

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Black doesn't respond to these comments so don't waste your time posting ! 🥶

[@shelleyking8450]

I would ABSOLUTELY go to a "nerd" wing place. When I eat wings, I dont need 56 screens showing sports, because I'M BUSY EATING MY GD WINGS!

[@femmefataleracer]

lol @ “alleged artist”

[@PaoloNarc]

My dude, rant on.

[@capicolaspicy]

Sadly the government of our country cannot respond to the outrageous pharmaceutical market because they are now pretty much owned by that same pharmaceutical market! I invite anyone to do some due diligence and take a look at the top leadership of many of our government agencies including the food and drug and the federal communication commission among others and see just where those leaders came from before they got these cushy government jobs? That's right, in many cases you'll see they came from the same places that we are now expecting them to hold to account. It can never work!

[@cguy96]

Only problem with your plan? No UN force in 1948. Otherwise? Not a bad suggestion.

[@benzamora7058]

Tell Them Lewis, keep stupid in check

[@danstepka775]

NOPE sorry love Biden and he’s done a great job in a difficult situation and I know he’s fighting for me more than anyone else has. Not perfect but who is.

[@scottrichards3587]

Too damn'd bad they chose a House Speaker today. Not choosing would have expedited the inevitable collapse of the Republican party. I'm 66 and hope to live long enough to see both Republicans and Democats be as relevant as Whigs and Federalists.

Why make the chicken appear if he had nothing to say 😢

[@jermelpurse3018]

I understand the ranch about being a mindless consumer, but guess what that’s what we watch When Taylor Swift goes to a football game in the NFL shows her picture more people watch the football game. It’s crazy but it’s true and if you knew more people would watch your football game if you showed her a picture, guess what you would show her a picture all the time.

[@Ichimokulover]

Draw straws or flip a freaking coin. Or how about a 50 yard dash? Whoever doesn’t trip over their ego wins speaker. Geez.

[@gerardgauthier4876]

If America ever wanted to see how the world views them... Just look at Trump and that'll be pretty close to the mark.

[@MackinOz]

Gee, Lewis! An actually serious rant! Very entertaining. I feel like maybe I should figure out some way to insult you personally to inspire another. But you're faultless! What a shame!

[@plumhunter9158]

Please calm down, Lewis! You know there are gobs of assholes out here ... I may be one of them. But I enjoy your ranting. Keep it up! And keep it hard!
