Let us guess: During October, your collection of watched series was replenished with new interesting examples. But we are still going to try to surprise you. How about the most unusual celebrity podcasts?

Read this article to the end and find out what Kevin from Home Alone has to say and what Snoop Dogg is sharing with fans.

1. Fyre Festival’s Billy McFarland Has Recorded a Podcast From Prison

Billy McFarland is known as an organizer of the Fyre Festival, which is famous all over the world as the biggest party that never happened. We believe you watched the documentary about it on Netflix. The poor organization or, to be more precise, a lot of lies and even fraud resulted in a six-year prison sentence for Billy McFarland. A little over two years into his sentence and three years since Fyre Festival burned spectacularly on the funeral pyre of internet schadenfreude, Billy McFarland is back and appeared in podcast form; one called Dumpster Fyre. The author of the doomed festival is releasing the episodes from inside prison, while “Billy’s team” posts it on his Instagram.

McFarland once reported, “I’m not going to hide behind my mistakes. I am going to share everything that happened.” However, it’s obvious that McFarland simply has to take hold of the narrative and make audience believe in his reality rather than in the mass media’s. And it’s true that no one wants to deal with such a person, but it is very difficult to meet, in ordinary life, a guy who got six years for one of the most impressive public frauds.

We can’t help mentioning that you have the chance to talk to another co-organizer of the Fyre Festival: Andy King. He is available on Payphone X and can give you a great piece of advice on how to organize festivals in a proper way.

2. Macaulay Culkin Launches Bunny Ears Parody Lifestyle Website

Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin launched Bunny Ears media, which can be delineated as “A mixture of Goop (a wellness and lifestyle website launched by Gwyneth Paltrow) and The Onion (US satirical news site).” It’s difficult to say anything more precise.

The Bunny Ears website has horoscopes, comic advice on how to “arrange furniture according to feng shui to improve your sex life,” how to “look pregnant enough to do whatever you want,” and how to “buy yourself a gravestone and not screw up,” Macaulay’s personal experience on “how I ate soap for a week and now I can say whatever I want,” and celebrity advice. In short, it’s got everything we are used to seeing on ordinary lifestyle sites (just kidding). In addition, Bunny Ears has a podcast hosted by Macaulay Culkin and actor Matt Cohen with new episodes released every week. There, almost everything is the same as on the site, only the format is different. For example, Macaulay Culkin reads works of world literature with his own jokes.

3. Life Is Short with Justin Long, or What Ordinary and Not So Ordinary Things People Think About

Justin Long is an American theater and film actor, screenwriter, producer, and the face of Mac in Apple videos. He became famous for the horror movie Jeepers Creepers, Die Hard, and Alvin’s voice in all parts of Alvin and the Chipmunks.

In April 2019, Long launched the podcast Life is Short with Justin Long. Justin Long himself describes his project like this:
“I’m Justin Long, and I’ve been an actor for most of my life, so I’m used to getting inside the heads of the characters I play. But now that I’m getting older, and I want to peek inside the heads of real people to learn how they find meaning in life. I’m also very curious what their favorite snack food is and what emoji they use most often—ya know, the REALLY important stuff. Every episode, I’ll get personal with all kinds of people, from actors to musicians to deep thinkers who fascinate me.”

4. JLouis Mills from Heartbeat and his podcast On the Level

5. GGN Podcast by Snoop Dogg

GGN Podcast is a fun podcast by Snoop Dogg, the iconic rapper of the early 90s with an instantly recognizable voice. Snoop Dogg and his guests chat about all sorts of things in their pseudo-gangster manner. So far, there have been only 10 issues, but numerous fans believe that everything is still on the way.

It’s hard to describe the project in a better way than Snoop Dogg himself did by saying, “This podcast right here is hosted by none other than me, yours truly, music legend and pop culture icon, Snoop D-O-double G, ya dig? Listen to some funny-ass comedic tales or me bustin’ some off tha’ cuff freestyles. Man, me and my guests speak on everything related to popular culture. No one does uncensored and uncut quite like ya boy Big Snoop, aka Finding Nemo, aka Nemo Hoes. And now I’m inviting you to blaze one up with us and jump on in.”

Included in this select few is JLouis Mills, an up-and-coming star mainly known for his role as the snarky yet loveable anesthesiologist in Heartbeat, a hit medical drama on NBC.

To say that Mills has led an eventful life would be an understatement. So, to get to know him better, here are seven little-known yet interesting facts about him:

1. Mills wears an eye patch because he lost his vision

One of Mills’s defining characteristics is the eye patch he wears over his left eye. As a child, the actor struggled with Kawasaki Syndrome, a disease that causes inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body. He underwent retinal reattachment surgery in 2001 and permanently lost vision in his left eye in 2013 following complications from surgery.

“In February 2013, I had cataract surgery on my eye,” he explains. “After the complications, I was unable to work, and I lost my vision in that eye.” He adds, “Not being able to work and not being able to take care of myself, I pretty much lost who I was.”

It was this incident that left Mills homeless and without a job, but fortunately, the actor was able to pick himself up and come back stronger than ever.

“I did it. I got up. I dusted myself off. And you can do it too,” he says.

2. He used to be a homeless caretaker

Before landing his breakout role as Dr. Forrester in the NBC medical drama Heartbeat, Mills worked as a caretaker for an elderly couple with Alzheimer’s Disease. Unable to keep up with the skyrocketing rent in Los Angeles, Mills stuffed a backpack with his clothes and lived on the streets.

“It was a very humbling thing to be homeless,” says Mills in an interview. “I just really had to make a decision one day—what’s gonna stop this? How am I going to get out of this?” 

3. JLouis played an anesthesiologist in Heartbeat

In Heartbeat, Mills took on the role of Dr. Forrester, the resident anesthesiologist who is blind in one eye. Featured in eight out of ten episodes, Mills worked on the show alongside other emerging names in Hollywood, including Melissa George, Dave Annable, and Don Harry. 

4. He’s an actor and a producer

Not content with just acting and memorizing lines, Mills sought to have a deeper understanding of Hollywood and the film industry by working behind the scenes. He was an associate producer on the 2016 short film Beyond Approval as well as a production assistant on the 2011 coming-of-age movie Birds of a Feather.

5. Mills starred as a villain in a Snoop Dogg video

You might have recognized Mills from the 2015 music video Snoop Dogg: So Many Pros, which starred the world-famous hip hop artist as well as chart-topping singer Pharell Williams. Mills played one of the villains in the music video, which had been styled to evoke old-timey spy movies and film posters. It went on to earn Best Art Direction during that year’s MTV Video Music Awards.

6. He also starred in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

In the Quentin Tarantino blockbuster that featured some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, Mills played Land Pirate J on the set of Lancer, which also starred Ramon Franco as another land pirate and Marco Rodriguez as a bartender.

7. JLouis loves to talk with his fans one-on-one

JLouis Mills went through thorns to become a star and did not turn into an arrogant celebrity. He is so open-hearted that any fan can chat or have a video call with him personally through the Payphone X app. When texting, the actor doesn’t only accept admirations but also supports others through providing advice and motivating those who are dealing with difficult times. He himself overcame many obstacles and, despite all the challenges, was able to become a renowned TV star. So, he can find the right words to give others wings to fly to new heights.

On the Payphone X platform, JLouis Mills also congratulates fans on their birthdays, weddings, and other important life events and sometimes even shoots a personalized video where he just brilliantly jokes as he used to do in the role of Dr. Forrester in the Heartbeat series. 

Talking to such a wonderful person is too exciting, so be sure to snag this opportunity and take a look at JLouis’s profile on Payphone X.
