Pack a picnic basket of caviar and dino nuggies, today we're on a field trip out of the studio! While Josie appeals to our kinder nature, Ruby finally listens to the show. She's covering her bases (and Frank's butt), until a Reagan-sized opportunity appears. The closer Mia gets to the truth, the more danger the whole gang finds themselves in. On-air, we have a marriage of corporate convenience, a helicopter mom who probably actually uses a helicopter, a girl looking for a real lifesaver, and the belle of the Bodyguard's Ball. Our cuties this week include Patrick Harvey, Laura Lee Walsh, Tiffany Cornwell, Tristan Miller, Kyle Prue, Abigail Turner as Mia Columba and Jessie Cannizzaro as Ruby.

Mind your P's and Cuties, because today KDNM is under the magnifying glass. There's a private investigator sniffing around the studio, up close and very, very personal. Joanne and Frank are sweating under the scrutiny, and not just because of their big secret. On air, meet a culinary cutthroat, someone dealing with a monster in the closet, an unsupported entrepreneur, and a serial pet-owner with a lot of explaining to do.

Oh behave, cuties! Joanne is coming to the nation live from KBXV headquarters and has to be on her best behavior. With a change of scenery, Jo is performing for a whole new crowd, with a whole new set of rules. Can she keep her cool around weapons-grade hottie Dr. Mark? Or will her conscience spill out like so many heaving breasts unlaced in a moment of passion? Meet an Oklahoman speaking in code, a workplace flirtation gone flat, a teaching tool with unintended consequences, and a filthy little shame-pig.
Our cuties this week included Al Pagano, Laura Holliday, Ashley Adler, Shane Snider, Chris Gebauer, Hunter Shelburne, Hal Lublin, and Ross Bryant as Dr. Mark.

Night night, cuties.
Throw open the windows and air the place out -- after all that nonsense last week, it's time to get spruced up for that national slot. Nothing to worry about here, and anyone who says otherwise needs their mouth washed out. In fact, let's give the whole show a thorough scrubbing. In this sparkling episode, you'll meet a grandson with a housing problem, a snoop who likes it raw, a janitorial two-timer, and a very raunchy germaphobe.
This week's cuties included Ross Bryant, Caitlin Carleton, Ross Childs, Cali Daby, Meghan Falcone, Hal Lublin, Carla Lerner Montero, and Brendan Sokler.

Season Five is here, and with it …comes scandal. Not for Josie, no way, but for a national show at KBXV. The time is ripe for a regime change…can the Lonely Hearts nab that precious drivetime slot? If Frank and Joanne want to impress those execs, they’ll need more than a foolproof plan. They’ll need a scheme-proof plan. Look alive, cuties, there are nefarious forces at work. Our favorite dynamic duo will need to outwit new foes while they catch up with old friends. We welcome back callers to ask, “Where Are They Now?” “How Have You Been?” and, “Is That Covered By Your NDA?” Check in with some of your favorites from episodes past and buckle up for the most surprising season yet.

As a special treat to announce the release of the season one remaster (available now), we've decided to give you a special insight into our process with a full creator commentary.

It's real and amazing. Go check it out, it's ad-free!]
Relax, while Josie goes to Hollywood. Or at least, she tells us about the new Hollywood drama from the Good Story Guild from the comfort of her booth. Head over to the feed now and get hooked on this sharp new series.
In Media Res: A Hollywood Odyssey in Five Acts
When Alex Eli (Kyle Prue) is plucked from obscurity and offered the role of franchise megalith Jack Stellar, booking the gig is only the beginning. In a whirlwind week of media training, he is thrust into the deep end of shark-infested Malibu waters. As he’s broken down and molded into "Xander Eli," he can’t tell who to trust. There’s the agent who needs him. The director who mentored him. The father who abandoned him. Loyalties are tested as the clock runs down to Xander’s livestreamed reveal. When the cameras start rolling, who will be at his side…and will he even be himself anymore? Best enjoyed with headphones.
