Ignorance Is #blessed

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/ignorance-is-blessed1719/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!

This week I'm joined by one of my best friends, Dulcé Sloan to have a very important conversation about being a black woman in the United States in 2017. I have been wanting to have her as a guest since before I even launched the podcast but our schedules hadn't worked. After recent events, I had to find a way to squeeze this conversation into our busy lives because it needs to be heard.Listen as we discuss everything from silly stereotypes to the very frightening and heart breaking reality that black Americans have to face in the US. We talk about why Black Lives Matter is so important.This is a long one, so grab some snacks and sit back and get ready to go on a roller coaster of emotions as Dulcé shows us all the different sides that come with being a black woman. We laugh, we cry, we laugh some more. And we continue on and on. Dulcé doesn't make time for everyone's questions so I am very grateful she took time to answer all my ignorant queries.Follow her all over the web! Review the podcast

Recently my brother overdosed on what I assumed was the drug I knew he was addicted to. It turns out, his addiction isn't limited to one specific thing. I didn't know he was still doing any drugs. A lot of people in my family never knew he had done them at all. How much was because he was hiding it? How much was everyone else's denial?This is an interview with him, from the hospital where he's currently recovering from the effects of what happened. This is a not a story about overcoming demons, this is just a story about having them.I plan to follow up within 6 months to a year and see where he is at. Thank you to those of you who have reached out and offered love and support to my brother. my family and myself.Follow the podcast on Twitter: twitter.com/blessedpodcastFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JMScomedyPlease leave a rating and review on the Podcast app to help others discover the podcast and overcome their own ignorance (hopefully).And thank you to all the subscribers, new and old!

Hey Idiots!This episode is a little different than my normal format. I decided to interview my friend Jeremy Scippio about his comedy career. We started together and it's been a few years and he was opening for me while I was headlining a club, something our group of friends used to dream about doing together. I am planning to do a few more of these with some of the people I started comedy with as well as some new comedians and do follow ups in a few years.This is not going to replace my normal ignorant interviews, it's just a new addition to the feed.

Hey idiots! I'm back! This episode is VERY fascinating as it explores Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personalities). My guest is Dez Reed and he was diagnosed with it five years ago. I ask him all about it and it gets a little emotional and I learned a lot. We went off course a few times and I tried to steer it back without losing momentum so I tried not to get too invested when he brought up unrelated things that I don't necessarily agree with. I had to catch a flight so I was sort of crammed for time and wanted to get as much info as possible because how often will I be in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan? Enjoy!

I know the episode name is awful, BUT the episode is amazing! My guest this week is hilarious stand up comedian Keith Carey (Roast Battle on Comedy Central, co-host of the Mean Boys Podcast) and he answers all of my idiot questions (and yours) about being a bisexual man.

I am SO very excited for this episode for a few reasons. 1. I ADORE Madison Shepard and if you don't already know her, you will feel the same after listening! 2. I tried to do this interview long ago but our schedules couldn't link up. So just in time for Mother's Day (although neither of us are mothers) I interview her about the Women's March! It's important! And it was a fun and informative conversation. Lots of laughs and insight!

This episode features one of my childhood best friends who is a traveling surgical tech. I ask her all about her job working in the operating room and traveling to new hospitals. We talk hearts and buttholes and everything in between. And maybe some more. It's a lot of laughs and a really cool look into the life of someone who has possibly saved yours that you will never even know about.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignorance-is-blessed1719/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week's episode is all about Bipolar Disorder and I interview one of my favorite people in the whole world, Nicole Aimée Schreiber. Nicole has Bipolar Disorder and we talk about how it affects her life and has affected the lives of people close to her. We dispel myths. We confirm a few things. And we do it all from her bed where she was currently experiencing a depression that I forced myself into despite how we talk about how sometimes you just need to be alone for a second. She's informative and fun. We make some fart jokes and other silly things.

Dani Fernandez is my guest for this episode all about having an autoimmune disease/chronic illness. This is a topic that's very near and dear to my heart (and joints and bones and organs and brain) so it was great to be able to talk with someone who I consider one of the most learned people on the topic.We talk a wide variety of things from the dumb shit we hear from well-meaning friends to how depression might be a side effect of our other issues rather than freestanding. We manage to squeeze in a couple laughs, too, because we are professionals.Enjoy!

This episode I'm talking polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships with two hilarious comedians, Eli Olsberg and Gaby Dunn. We explore the ins and outs of polyamory. I learn proper terms which I then completely refuse to use, saying other dumb things instead. I learned a lot! You will too! Plus we talk about sex so that's juicy. I should have used a better word there.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignorance-is-blessed1719/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
