Show overview
Ignore the Rant has been publishing since 2020, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 98 episodes. That works out to roughly 200 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 44m and 2h 26m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language News show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.8 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 35 episodes published. Published by ignoretherant.

EAfter a significant passage of time, we decided to come back and talk about it. In this episode, we discuss the hubbub surrounding the Olympic opening ceremony, the failed assassination attempt & Biden dropping out of the race. Enjoy!
95 - AWOL
EUm…hey guys. We went out for smokes and the World stayed weird. So we came back to ramble about things we know little about. If you’d like to hear a heavy spin on a country hit, check out Doug’s band (Stumble Witch) cover Rich Men North of Richmond, here: https://youtu.be/IOXkqL7Kz78?si=hCTJeVTCLFl-ih2d ENJOY!
94 - Transgression
EWe’re all looking for answers to the wrong questions. Jim & Doug look at the recent uptick in what appears to be an artificially boosted issue sashaying across the country. Obligatory trigger warning: if you disagree with us, it’s satire. If you agree with us, it’s a coincidence.
93 - Chat GPT, was Bubba a Good Boy?
EJim takes his L on the Murdaugh verdict and is swayed by the State’s closing rebuttal. OJ weighs in with his expert opinion. The prosecution pulls all of their muscles, patting themselves on the back. Maybe AI can do a better job? We ask Chat GPT a series of questions to see if it’s ready to rule us. The results are…010110001101.
92 - It’s that time of the month
EOut of respect for Black History Month, we here at Ignore the Rant decided to take a knee and let black voices be heard. So now that’s over, we’re here to contribute to our inevitable future cancelling. We cover most of the stories we missed and dip into some recent headlines. Mainly, the Murdaugh trial, the Ukraine/Russia decade old war turns 1 year old and Dilbert doesn’t bet on black. ENJOY! Justin Campbell’s Substack on the Jesus Super Bowl ad. https://open.substack.com/pub/campbellj/p/he-gets-us?r=bfmcf&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post Jim’s appearance on Libertarian Podcast Review, breaking down the Murdaugh trial. https://www.youtube.com/live/cRnr8CmSGj0?feature=share
91 - Tantrum from the Treetops
EThe next riot season may have had a false start in Atlanta this past weekend. What happened, who’s involved and what is it over? We cover this in the only way we know how, by name calling on a fifth grade level. But with sound clips of more professional people bringing the info. Hockey is not gay enough in Philadelphia. George Santos has some splainin’ to do. ENJOY! AJ+ mini doc on “Cop City”: https://youtu.be/fPMW47tCA1g
90 - Broken Records
EJim & Doug come stumbling into the year with an episode that sounds exactly like something we recorded a year ago. We talk Dawgs being National Champs (again), “smart” people saying stupid things about Covid (again), hypocritical politicians (again), and why you shouldn’t have hope that they will make things better (again). In short… new year, old us. ENJOY! (again)
89 - We’re a Christmas Podcast Now
EAfter weeks of illness, studio setbacks, and other excuses, we finally come together to close out 2022. We talk FTX, Elon & Twitter, and Kanye‘s crusade. We pay tribute to Herschel Walker’s Senate run and finally, we close it out with a very necessary and totally not gay debate on whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not. And because “Christmas” is said once in the episode, this is now a Christmas podcast. As mentioned at the end of the show, for anyone who would like to donate to our buddy Doug, the link is below. He has recently fell on hard times financially, and any donations would be greatly appreciated.

EFootball talk in the first 30 mins. Brett Favre is reverse Robin Hooding the state of Mississippi. Patagonia saves the planet, by avoiding taxes. We take a look at climate change and the allegations surrounding it. Electric cars and smart homes will save the world, but you’ll have to stay home. A little bit of Trump talk, to meet our quota. Dems paying people $400 to be their propagandists. And finally, a chipper Patchy Dense Fog tune. Enjoy!
85 - Divide and Squander

84 - Weak Old News
EBiden had Covid a while ago. Trump said things about it. THE doctors are now saying vaccines don’t work, so that’s cool. Florida Man kills neighbor’s rooster. https://youtu.be/yVg2giNd0rI Music Midtown cancelled due to GA’s constitutional carry laws? https://youtu.be/8tczD1JbVYw NASA’s no fun policy. https://nypost.com/2022/07/22/astronauts-should-not-masturbate-in-zero-gravity-nasa-scientist-says/ Monkeypox is gay. ¡Ellos tomaron nuestros trabajos! https://archive.ph/2022.07.27-111333/https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-07-27/americans-are-flooding-mexico-city-some-mexicans-want-them-to-go-home Alex jones pays +$45 million in “damages” and the guys are split on its justification.

82 - Booty Goonin’ on the 4th of July
EOur podcast turns 2 and we celebrate it by being our most ignorant to date. Apologies to the new listeners, it was a fun ride. We solve active shooters by throwing peaceful parenting practices the way of abortions in the south (according to some). We give the parade shooter a look ahead to what may be waiting for him. People are still talking about abortion so we are too, kinda. ENJOY!

81 - Hot Takes Supreme
EThe supply of hot takes exceeds demand but that won’t stop us from jumping in. An untimely death connected with 1/6 gets glossed over while Ghislaine gets 20yrs for trafficking children to….no one? Uvalde PD continues to stockpile L’s. The reaction to the Supreme Court’s rulings prove why they’re correct. We close out pride month with a clip from an unreleased episode that surpasses even our own bigotry standards.

80 - 1 Star Review
EWith the US nosediving into a recession, people are looking to “economists” for answers. Most are full of crap, including us. So we look to an unlikely source, then go off topic for an hour. We also discuss “What is a Woman?”, playing god with science, sentient robots, HR demons. An unlikely lesson in how to be a dirtbag and Arrona reads a restaurant review with a heaping side of racism. ENJOY! Follow the show on IG: @ignoretherant Ignore the Rant on Twitter: @ignoretherant
79 - Faux Chaos
EThis one goes off the rails before it ever started and never finds its way to anything remotely close to a listenable show. There’s chimpanzee sounds, cringe inducing wordplay, old guys arguing and a washed up band no one cares about anymore. It’s safe to say we’re mailing it in.

78 - Myth Informed
EWe get all high and mighty by blaming the world’s problems on the internet, while podcasting on the internet. We’re midwits, at best. In this Arrona-less episode, Jim & Doug shoot the shit about this past week. We review the new Dinesh D’Souza doc, 2000 Mules & talk a little about 3rd party politics and the Libertarian party’s upcoming transition.

77 - End of an Error
EWe’re probably going to hell for how we start this episode, but we try to make up for it with our lukewarm takes the rest of the way. Jim found out he’s too old for hippies. Reeeelon Musk gives birth to the Ministry of Truth. Our society collapse is right on schedule. And Arrona makes a disturbing proclamation.
