Like a Human Weather Almanac, Ted Cruz Escapes Texas Again

Ranting Out Loud

Friday, 23 January 2026 - 28 minutes

Between looming icepocalypse anxiety, Ted Cruz fleeing the scene (again), and Republicans insisting January 6 was basically a light cardio event, the guys rant through weather panic, political cowardice, and courtroom absurdity. There's also Hollywood chaos, from messy accusations and Oscar snubs to Netflix openly admitting it's dumbing things down for phone-addicted viewers. Cap it off with a spirited debate over when TV officially jumps the shark, and you've got an episode that's equal parts cultural autopsy and group therapy. Stay warm, safe and ICE free everyone!
