Monday through Friday NYC actor and comedian Blaze Mancillas is banished from all social media to a desert island where he scavenges what he can from only one social media influencer that changes every week. Each episode a new co-host gets him caught up by forcing him to make wild guesses at what might have been trending, what the hive is outraged about or the latest viral video that "you'll NEVER believe what happens next". One part social commentary, one part social experiment in this sidesplitting podcast that is released every Saturday.

Comedian, writer and new daddy Ian Murphy makes his debut on the show with comedian and fashion consultant Reg Ferguson making his return to the show. While Ian may be the second father on the show he leads the race in joining the most online mommy groups. Are apps that help you come up with a name for a baby a good idea or is it just another distraction from human interaction? Also, on this episode Reg expresses his deep ire for a certain music artist who owns an expensive car that she doesn't know how to operate. This episode also reveals what robots are doing to try and take your job.

Naturally there was a little bit too much to uncover two weeks ago with comedians Katy Frame, Tricia Bates and Blaze Mancillas. Tricia shares a story about her latest British Television obsession: Naked Attraction. A show that can't be found on your American flatscreen where a single man or woman gets to pick among 5 potentials to be her next date. The catch, is the dates are completely naked and will slowly be revealed from toe to head (grow up, not that one) and the contestant must one by one eliminate them based slowly on what part of their naked body they see. It's a silly and riveting discussion about sexy TV that might provoke you to question what is attractive. NSFW

Breaking from the usual show format, Blaze sits down with actress, writer and teacher Carolyn Cutillo fresh off the bus back to New York City from her week-long silent retreat in the woods. Carolyn describes her first experience amongst 90 strangers where they are not only encouraged to be silent but also avoid eye contact. She tells tales of buff men dancing in the snow, cutting kiwis and self reflection. They also discuss what sort of responsibility the retreat leaders might have to prepare attendees for the tragic news of the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School after Blaze reveals the news to Carolyn. An interesting, funny and reflective conversation about what it's like to not only abstain from all forms of media but all social interaction.

Comedian and member of country music comedy-duo Reformed Whores, Katy Frame, returns to the show to tell tales of a pizza-filled Galentine's dinner. Comedian and lawyer Tricia Bates also joins for the hour to share stories of a Valentine's dinner that may or may not have included some tears. Katy, Tricia and Blaze answer the tough questions like: What is the worst holiday for single women? Do you scrub away a significant ex from you social media feed? What unlikely website was giving away free mamograms? On this fun, sexy and informative episode they dive deep into a discussion about how social media has changed the way we handle romantic interactions and seek out the person that is right for us. This episode is definitely NSFW (not safe for work).

Actor and writer Ryan Nicolls returns to the big black couch in Blaze's tiny little apartment with a whole bag full of on-air surprises for our host. Comedian, writer and creator of @RoyalFetus and KateMiddletonForTheWin.tumblr.com, Anne Victoria Clark makes her debut on the show.
