Hey Idiots!

This week I sit down with a close family friend, Pony, AKA John Connerton of the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines (known as "The Magnificent Bastards!") and we discuss his time serving in the Vietnam War and how it affected him. We talk everything from Purple Hearts, to the treatment of returning soldiers, PTSD and having to go off the grid for nearly a decade after the war.It's an interesting look at going to war from the perspective of someone who enlisted to serve his country, and how that affected him and his entire life moving forward. There isn't too heavy of specifics on dates and battles but it's a cool look at the emotional effects of war from a first person perspective.  Subscribe to the podcast!Follow the podcast on Instagram!Follow the podcast on Twitter!Follow JMS on Facebook!Follow JMS on Twitter!Follow JMS on Instagram!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/hey-idiots/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I'm joined this week by the ever enthusiastic, Emery Emery. Emery is the host of two podcasts: "Skeptically Yours" (along with the lovely Heather Henderson), and "Ardent Atheists".Emery and I have been friends for a few years and I've been a guest on both of his podcasts in the past. Emery is a passionate Atheist. Being my hippie, spiritual self, there have certainly been times we don't firmly agree on things. However, what I love about Emery is that he is always open to discussion on those topics. We can give each other shit about our ideas but still be friends and share our differing perspectives and learn from one another (or just disagree and move on.)This episode is all about atheism, although we do go on some random tangents about other important topics as you'll see. Or hear rather. I hope you enjoy it! As always, feedback is welcome! Thanks for putting up with my irregular releasing. My schedule is a bit hectic right now but I promise I haven't forgotten all my fellow idiots :)Subscribe to Ignorance is #BlessedFollow Emery on Twitter! Follow JMS on Twitter!Follow the podcast on Twitter!Ignorance is #Blessed is on IG!Follow JMS on Instagram!Follow JMS on Facebook!Logo designed by: Tony CelanoSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/hey-idiots/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week's guest is Mistress Catherine Walters, a Pro Dom I met at a comedy show. She tells me what it's like dominating men for a living. We discuss the difference between a pro doms and a dominatrix. She tells me her specialty and some weird requests or other dark things that some other doms do. We also talk about how it effects her relationship and family lives. It's a very interesting look into a popular kink.

Hey Idiots!This week I have my long time friend Alyssa Yeoman as my guest. We sat on the bench for our state championship hockey team and now we are both stand up comedians! She featured for me all weekend in Seattle and we had an awesome time! We talk about her family dynamic as a woman who was adopted by a white mom and black dad, how that has affected her self-identity and we get into comedy talk a little, as well.This episode was a ton of fun and we had lots of laughs.

This week is a little heavy but it's a good interview as long as you ignore my sick voice and constant sniffling. I spoke with Lisa Curry about growing up in a tumultuous household in Indiana. It gets pretty dark but it shines a light on how prevalent abuse may be and how it effects people for the rest of their lives. We had some deep moments but as two close friends and comedians, we still managed to squeeze in some laughs because we're both so fucked up. I hope you find it interesting.This episode brought to your ears by Sudio Sweden!

This week I am joined by my friend, Johan who is an undocumented immigrant enrolled in the DACA program. We talk about his childhood and how the creation of DACA changed his life and what it means now that President Trump has said he is cancelling the program. It was an interesting look into a lifestyle I had no experience with and I learned a lot. We also managed to have some good laughs despite the potentially heavy topic.Subscribe to Ignorance is #Blessed!Follow Johan Miranda on Twitter! Follow me on Twitter!Follow me on Instagram!Follow me on Facebook!Follow Ignorance is #Blessed on Twitter!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/hey-idiots/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week I sit down with the dynamic Kasey Koop! Kasey is amazing and we met doing stand up comedy a few years ago. Since then she's done so many things including writing a column for Playboy, getting sober, and becoming a stripper. Not necessarily in that order. Everyone wonders what goes on in the mind of a stripper and nobody ever assumes a stripper is sober. Kasey answers all of our questions! Do strippers ever fall in love? Are the all secretly hookers? What should a guy do when he gets a boner during a lap dance?All this, and MORE! Including interesting thoughts on sobriety and how it made her a better person (and stripper!!)Check it out!

Does he see when people are going to die? How do I know he's not just saying general shit to impress me?We talk about skepticism and he tells me things to look out for in a "psychic" to avoid being conned and he explains the difference between being a psychic and a medium.He also gives me a reading on the podcast. Listen in and subscribe to the podcast to find out if his predictions come to fruition in the coming months!
