Dear Humans, September kicks off with a bang on the God Pod, because Jesus and I welcomed the one and only Zainab Johnson! You might know her from Amazon Prime’s Upload — a show God has secretly been obsessed with for years. (Yes, even I fangod from time to time.) We talked about everything from her AI chatbot overlords, to my bad standup material on air travel, to why billionaires are so desperate to cheat death. Zainab also shared her thoughts on the Trump Administration and explained why Upload is the perfect show for this awful moment we’re living through....

Dear Humans, I was recently joined by Emmy-winning actress Nancy Lee Grahn (who you may know from General Hospital, and Santa Barbara) for an unfiltered conversation about career, politics, and democracy. We had a great time discussing how she balanced motherhood with a demanding acting career—and never missed a parent-teacher conference. She also opened up about her outspoken political voice on social media and the risks of speaking truth to power in Hollywood. Plus, Nancy and I dug into the danger of apathy in politics—and why voting matters more than ever. It’s always...

Dear Humans, Today Jesus and I got to sit down with the one and only Jodie Sweetin. Yes, that Jodie Sweetin, Stephanie Tanner from Full House and Fuller House. She is still keeping busy, still making us laugh, and now hosting her own re-watch podcast, How Rude, Tanneritos! We talked about her activism in Los Angeles, the emotional night she honored Bob Saget, and how American life somehow went from being Full House to feeling like fucking Andor. Jodie shared what it was like to grow up in front of the camera, and how she has built a life beyond the shows that made her famous. The best part is...

Dear Humans, I thought it would be nice to take a break from the doom and gloom, so I laughed My Ass off with one of My favorite actors. Thank you to our subscribers who made this possible! Please subscribe now if you can. Jesus and I got a little taste of the Hollywood red carpet this week when we attended a press junket to speak with actor and comedian Ben Feldman! Mr. Feldman has a new animated series coming to Netflix called Long Story Short, and considering it’s by the creator of the incredible series Bojack Horseman, it looks like it’s a series not to be...

Dear Humans, God watched the new season of King of the Hill that just dropped on Disney Plus. And lo, it was hilaglorius. Even better, I got to speak with one of the funniest new members of the cast, actor and comedian Anthony “CiTRiC” Campos, who plays Bobby Hill’s assistant chef Emilio. We learned how Anthony first worked with Mike Judge as a cabinet member on Idiocracy. I gush over the return of King of the Hill and why the new season hits harder than ever.

The recently passed immigration bill and the implications of expanding ICE powers.

Will there even be elections in 2026?

Authenticity, populism, and George Carlin’s legacy in the age of Trump.
