Hey Idiots!Meet my friend, Mike Recine. He's great. He's a classic New York Italian. And maybe autistic? We dissect it.He tells me about growing up in New York with a mom who's a bad ass, an autistic brother. We talk about food and how being an adult is weird as fuck.We talk about human ego and whether gender differences are social or biological. We also about John Voight getting his dick sucked by a young man in a movie theater. There were lots of topics because our brains bounce all around, and we even talk about how nice it would be to be able to turn them off sometimes.Check it out and then go listen to his podcast about organized crime, "The Sitdown with Mike Recine"Follow Mike on Twitter!Follow Mike's dog Frankie Wrinkles on Instagram!Join the Ignorance is #Blessed Patreon for hot bonus content and fun gifts from me on the road!Follow the podcast on Twitter!Follow the podcast on Instagram!Follow me on Twitter!Follow me on Instagram!Follow my Facebook page!Subscribe, rate, and rev

Hey Idiots!This week I'm talking to my hilarious friend Wendi Starling all about the deep (wet, tight) insides of being a sugar baby. She tells me about how she got into it (in a blackout) and how it has changed her perspective and life. It's an inside look at a world that's always fascinated me. We go into great detail about the world's oldest profession and how it has changed through the years and what the common misconceptions are.We also laugh our asses off at a million things because we both have brains that are constantly firing off in a thousand different directions. Give it a listen and go follow Wendi and listen to her podcasts, as well!If you see me live at a show, take a pic of or with me and use #WhereInTheWorldIsJMS and I'll send you a cool prize.

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 my guest is the incomparable Alex Carabaño! I met Alex recently doing a show in New York and instantly loved him and so will you!

We're eating there during the interview so heads up you are going to hear some sloppy talking with a mouthful, mostly from me, because I'm a trashcan that never stops talking.Alex tells me all about owning a vegan Latin restaurant and we go into other crazy shit that happened in our lives and I'm sure there's at least three cum jokes in there.

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

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.)

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/ignorance-is-blessed1719/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://

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 fell

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.

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.
