Hey Idiots!

Hey Idiots!Ari Shaffir is on this week to talk to me about Judaism and growing up as a good(?) Jewish boy. We talk about the state of gender equality in comedy, as well, and how some men need to just shut the fuck up and work harder, but also, so do some women.It's a great conversation where I learn a lot. Or at least enough to start planning my extremely late Bat Mitzvah.I forgot to ask him what Shaffir means or how my future wedding is supposed to go now that I'm Jewish in more ways than just my 23andme results.Go listen! And then go see Ari live somewhere. Subscribe to my Patreon to hear me tell even more stories about ex boyfriends and my childhood.

Hey Idiots!This week I'm sitting down with my hilarious friend, Yedoye Travis, to talk with him about his love of anime. I know almost nothing about anime other than how much I'd love to look like one of those anime girls with pink hair and ridiculously giant tits (Oh, yes, we definitely go there.)Is Yedoye the odd man out as a young, black man who loves anime or is that a big thing in black culture? Is Dragon Ball Z racist? Is it possible to enjoy anime without fetishizing Asian culture?We pitch the movie "Men in Blackface" and a lot of other super ignorant things that we laugh very hard at.It's a fun talk. You could even say it's...ANIMEZING one! BUT PLEASE DON'T. DON'T BE LIKE ME. THAT WAS A TERRIBLE PUN AND I CANNOT STOP MAKING THEM.Enjoy this episode and then go download Yedoye's debut album "OK" and enjoy that, too!Subscribe to, rate and review Ignorance is #Blessed!Follow Yedoye on Twitter!Follow Yedoye on Instagram!Follow the podcast on Instagram!Follow the podcast on Twitter!Follow JMS on Twitter! Follow JMS on Instagram!Follow JMS on Facebook!Come see JMS live!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignorance-is-blessed1719/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hey Idiots!This week I'm joined by my friend Benji Aflalo to talk about what it's like growing up in Beverly Hills!Benji was the first person to ever bring me on stage at The Comedy Store potluck open mic back when he was a door guy and now he's the star of his own television show, Alone Together! (Also, starring the hilarious Esther Povitsky!) We talk all about his childhood and how awkward it is to get into entertainment when you grew up surrounded by it. We get nostalgic about childhood stuff and the huge difference between our parents and lives. And despite those differences we are both ginormous fans of Springsteen and Fred McGriff!

Happy New Year, Idiots! I'm kicking off the New Year with an awesome guest: Baron Vaughn! (Grace & Frankie, MST3K, Corporate) Baron is an incredible comedian and actor, but more than that, he's a super awesome person with an amazing mind! We talk about lots of stuff on this episode including Baron's life as a new dad, comedy, being empaths and how growing up with addicts gave us a false self-perception we're working on overcoming. Neither of us have hometown pride and we discuss our bad habits in past relationship patterns. Look, it's just a lot of good talking on this special New Year's edition. I COULDN'T SETTLE ON A SINGLE TOPIC, SO SUE ME! (Please don't, the student loans have already.) There are a lot of funny moments coupled with several really interesting little truth gems about how life shapes you and you (hopefully) learn to adjust.Subscribe, rate and review the podcast from the iTunes podcast app!Follow Baron Vaughn on Twitter!Follow Baron Vaughn on Instagram! Follow the podcast on Twitter!Follow the podcast on Instagram!Follow JMS on Twitter!Follow JMS on Instagram!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignorance-is-blessed1719/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
