COMING OUT OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC What other event can you claim has connected human beings more than a cross-continental virus? Here's a how Jess spent the end of her quarantine. ABOVE, Jess comes out of the holidaze to reflect on what 2020 has taught her.

WOW, that's what my chin looks like from that angle?? ABOVE, Jess pretends not to care what she looks like for a Zoom meeting. Beauty = confidence, right? We checked Ulta's website: "confidence" is OUT OF STOCK at our closest location.

Put on your nerdcore glasses and dive into another week of music news on this episode of Wrecked Radio. ABOVE, the rockstars are coming out of the woodwork with new songs and... metal covers by school teachers?? *ahem* I guess I mean school teacher.

What scares Jess?? Well, a list of things, but ABOVE are the top 3 paranormal thrillers that she can't stop thinking about... and one she watched like 7 years ago.

And finally, Jess moves on from her first L.A. apartment. This one has a butt candle! Enjoy this Architectural Digest parody of the new digs.

GOODBYE, 2020!

We can’t say it wasn’t therapeutic to watch that minute hand to tick past midnight and into a brand new year. Here is how Jess showed 2020 the door. ABOVE, our punk-rock holiday music countdown brought us a little Christmassy joy that we could thrash to.

ABOVE, Jess noms on 5 brands of fake noodles to find the most palatable imPASTAr. Bet you didn’t even know they made that much fake pasta. 

Jess might or might not have had her quarantine breakdown on this episode as she stumbles through a brand new do.

If you didn’t have a family to make awkward small talk with this Thanksgiving, Jess was there to appease. Watch here remake her entire turkey dinner for one above.

As part of her make-anything-out-of-garbage series, Jess attempted to make a teleprompter out of Dollar Store supplies. But did she do it??? That thumbnail kind of sucks the mystery out of it...
