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.
