Spencer Pratt is running for LA Mayor and comedian JMS has thoughts... This week I went to a horse race, had an existential crisis about wearing red white and blue, and somehow ended up deep in a rant about Spencer Pratt running for Los Angeles Mayor — and why reality TV stars in politics is a pattern we should all be a lot more concerned about. We're also getting into LA's homelessness crisis and…
Jessica Michelle Singleton is back and running on zero Adderall and maximum chaos.

A lunar crater may be…
Back in LA, back on the mic — and Mokey is not happy about it.

Then things get weird (in the best way): Jessica just graduated from a professional puppetry…

Jessica Michelle Singleton goes solo and spirals through some of the most absurd headlines imaginable — a fentanyl dealer bringing drugs to court, a sperm donor fathering nearly 200 kids, and an elderly man fined for spitting out a leaf.
