  • Hey Idiots.

    One of my favorite podcast. JMS is hysterical and probably my favorite person that I’ve never met. One of only about five people whose Instagram stories I actually watch. Keep up the fantastic work!

    I wrote this 4 years ago and never submitted it. Many things have changed but my love for JMS has not.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Health Scares, Haze Machines, and Hilarious Truths with Dean Delray
Q: Do you think you would be where you are 15 years into comedy if you had started in your 20s?
No, because in your 20s, you're partying and not as focused. Starting at 44 made me hyper-focused.
Spiraling, Space Missions & Suicidal Morning Routines
Q: Is that a cop-out?
Maybe I'm supposed to wake up and create while feeling motivated, and have my self-care routine later in the day.
Spiraling, Space Missions & Suicidal Morning Routines
Q: Do any of you regularly do a morning routine?
I'm curious if most people maintain a daily morning routine like meditating or exercising every day.
Danny Jolles on Hollywood Auditions, Stand-Up Survival & Persevering Through Failure
Q: Was the intention to grow as a human as you did the special?
Danny affirms that his intention was indeed to better himself and his craft through the process, though the outcome felt complex after a year.
