Ignorance Is #blessed

Jessica Michelle Singleton is back and running on zero Adderall and maximum chaos. This week on Hey Idiots, Jessica gets genuinely emotional about the Artemis moon mission — specifically the story of Commander Reid Wiseman, who circled the moon for the first time in over 50 years while grieving the loss of his wife, Carroll, who died after a five-year battle with cancer. A lunar crater may be named in her honor, and honestly? It deserved the paragraph Jessica wrote about it to a stranger on Threads at full emotional capacity.Also this week: Jessica breaks down her Alaska mini-tour, including a deeply suspicious Airbnb in Moose Pass with frozen pipes, a creepy host who was "really good at hiding things," a wandering lynx, and a framed photo of a bear attack on the wall. Perfectly normal.Plus the news: a man in a full cow costume was arrested for stabbing a family member in Albany, New York. RFK Jr.'s private journals reveal he cut off a raccoon's genitals on a family vacation — and he's in

Back in LA, back on the mic — and Mokey is not happy about it. This week, JMS kicks things off with a heartfelt tribute to comedian Alex Duong, a bright light in the comedy community who passed away far too soon, leaving behind his wife, daughter, and a whole lot of people who just loved being around him. Then things get weird (in the best way): Jessica just graduated from a professional puppetry program, submitted to audition for Fraggle Rock Live, booked a commercial, and is still trying to finish that book about grit. Also on the docket — Project Hail Mary, what went wrong with Comedy Central, TMNT nostalgia, and the probably never ending Idiots in the News segment including a Florida woman who declared herself Squirrel Queen while pelting cops with acorns from a tree. Classic. Also the squirrels are starting to vape - dispose of your trash properly, people.

In this episode, we’re diving into the chaos of the week, from the viral Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show to the bizarre reactions on the internet. Plus, a look at:Puppetry Class? Why I missed the "Big Game" for a puppet workshop.Live Comedy: Why seeing a show in person is always better than watching on a screen.On the Road: Upcoming tour dates in Portland, Tulsa, Indianapolis, and Austin.Current Events: The controversy surrounding flags at the Stonewall national monument.

In this episode of Hey Idiots, Jessica Michelle Singleton wades into uncomfortable territory with honesty, humor, and nuance. What happens when the systems we’re told to trust stop making sense—and no one wants to talk about it?From recent ICE actions in Minneapolis to the dangers of blind partisanship, media fear-mongering, and government overreach, Jessica breaks down why “just follow the law” isn’t the mic-drop argument people think it is. It’s a thoughtful, funny, and occasionally dark conversation about civil liberties, critical thinking, and why staying apolitical doesn’t mean staying silent.Heavy topics, sharp jokes, and a reminder that laughing doesn’t mean you aren’t paying attention.NEXT WEEK'S LIVESTREAM WILL BE MONDAY JAN 26 INSTEAD OF TUESDAY - THIS WEEK ONLY

Hey Idiots! This episode recorded live LAST week and put up late is absolute chaos — in the best way.We’re talking news burnout, why I’ve officially tapped out of mainstream media, and how trying to stay “informed” nearly broke my brain. From government spin and political theater to the realization that critical thinking is apparently optional now, I try (and fail) to keep it light.Then things get weird:• Monkeys are on the loose in St. Louis (not from the zoo)• A woman prayed to a Shrek statue thinking it was Buddha for four years• A naked woman in Louisiana attacked police because she was “trying to be a mermaid”• The G7 summit was moved because of a White House UFC event• And yes, my mom is in the background commenting on everythingPlus, a life update you didn’t see coming: I’m starting professional puppeteer training at the Jim Henson Carriage House and questioning every creative choice I’ve ever made.It’s comedy, commentary, absurd headlines, and existential dread — with puppets, Shrek, and monkeys someh

Hey Idiots!I got engaged — and of course, nothing went according to plan.In this episode, I tell the full, chaotic, unexpectedly romantic engagement story, from a rain-soaked Santa Barbara proposal to the secret ring swap I never saw coming. We’re talking surprise engagement, family heirlooms, Christmas morning emotions, and why realizing someone can keep a secret from you is both hot and unsettling.Then we get into the real spiral: wedding planning stress, bridesmaids politics, budget anxiety, and why the idea of a “perfect wedding” might be a scam. If you’ve ever been engaged, are thinking about marriage, or just enjoy listening to someone overthink joy in real time — this one’s for you.Funny, honest, and slightly unhinged reflections on love, commitment, and why I may or may not want to get married at a comedy club.

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. Somehow, it only gets more unhinged from there.Between news rants, Jessica unpacks her own ADHD chaos, expired registration tickets, money panic, aging as a woman, menopause jokes, internet pile-ons, and the mental toll of obsessing over social media numbers. It’s a raw, funny, and honest comedy episode about modern life, creativity burnout, and trying to stay sane in a very dumb timeline.Expect dark humor, sharp commentary, and the kind of side quests only a solo rant can deliver.

This week, Jessica Michelle Singleton returns with a full-blown comedy meltdown from the road. From Skyline Chili decisions that nearly ruined her life to a hotel worker randomly bursting into her room, this episode is pure, unfiltered chaos.

Jessica Michelle Singleton is back from her Madison shows and she’s on one. This week she celebrates selling out her first weekend headlining at Comedy on State, humblebrags about already building a new hour, rants about the government’s “pussy” shutdown politics, and spirals into wild news stories — from a century-old message in a bottle to a potentially herpes-infected monkey escape in Mississippi.She wraps up with a furious takedown of overpriced vets who are apparently charging $6,000 for dog caffeine overdoses.
