  • Recorded live somewhere on an interstate near the Colorado/Kansas border, Lewis recounts the news of the past week, which, very much like the terrain he is transiting, is a lot of endless gray sameness.
    The live rants come from the Broome County Forum in Binghamton, NY on March 5, 2020.

    I'm happy that you got to see Mom, Lewis ... unfortunately, we lost our 83-yr-old mother on New Year's Day ... my regret is that she and I had been somewhat estranged for some time, and I will not have the chance for things to get better between us, on this terrestrial plane, but I tried to be honest with her about my feelings, because if you compromise honesty, there is very little remaining ...
    Your honesty is why I love what you do, Lewis ... please NEVER compromise that, for any reason. Thanks.

    We love you, too, Lewis. Sorry about having to cancel the shows. If it makes you feel better, and I hope it does, --well, maybe it wasn't financially viable for you to do at 400 ticket sales, anyway-- but I don't think the audience would have minded. I know I'd be far more disappointed in not getting to see you than I would in having to see you in a much smaller crowd. Love to your mom and hope she's doing well. And Rubber Chicken too, of course. Please, please stay safe and healthy. ❤❤

    Mother lectures from love. Indifference is the killer of relationship. Mother's call didn't get interrupted with a audible sound as in the old days. You literally can keep talking into a dead phone without knowing the call is broken. But that mother cares so much to give advice from the heart is touching as fuck to me.

Wish us luck, we have 2 feet of snow coming on Saturday. Yippee! I'm just loving 2022! Please stay safe and be well and produce anything related to Oz!
    PS, your Mom and I are similar in that we don't care if our kids are listening ... I've already texted my kids 10 times on what to do to prepare for the blizzard. None of which will be listened to!

    America is birthing a new nation within it's population. There is pain in coming into this world. Lewis Black is empathetic. It grieves good people to see others in pain. Yet, must that we go thru this pain, or we shall never break the shell we are in! We must leave the capitalistic notion of life or forever be slave to it.

    If there was a yard without a sign, they may have been a Biden voter, but just too afraid to advertise it in gun country.

      @@debrahelmlinger6256 that’s not the point. Let’s say a parent works at a slaughterhouse and is up to their armpits in dead animal parts blood and crap for 8 hours a day 6 days a week. The plant is a hazardous place where you could be maimed or killed at any time. No one is friendly to each other the pay stinks as much as the piles of filth that cake the whole place. After making it out of the place intact with all you parts still where they should be you retire. Would the parent that retired thankful for being able to hold a spoon after the trauma of the place would they tell their child to apply to the slaughterhouse? So why would Trump want any of his family to walk into a different type of slaughterhouse? Trump was constantly being berated threatened and lied about for his whole term and was lucky to get out intact. So why would he want to put his family into a room with the same people who hate and mocked him relentlessly for years? Trying to dig up or make up anything they could think of no matter how impossibly stupid and transparent of a lie it was. The slaughterhouse parent and Trump are protecting their children from possible harm. The butcher doesn’t want his child to be physically injured and Trump doesn’t want his child to be emotionally injured. A lot of politicians are still holding onto grudges against Trump and several of them have expressed a hatred for Trump and are petty enough to try and get to Trump through his children. So maybe just maybe it’s not about how old they are it’s about being a father. Just like Biden trying to keep his son safe from harm it’s a father’s responsibility to protect their children and families. Have a nice day

Comparing trump to a hard working family man intent on raising his children well, in a protective environment kind of makes you look confused and/or delusional though. All sentiment aside, you are talking about Donald Trump. Not wishing to recognize reality does not cause reality to not exist.
