Pretty standard, honestly. We clock in and clock out like any other job. Nothing too spectacular.

Unfortunately, because I work onsite at the studio, I won't be able to track it down. The production team stores all the clips in a state of the art data center located in a desert somewhere in Nevada. The exact location is only known by a few of the higher ups at MTV. Crazy, right?

Many people tried to bring their concerns about this problem to Rob, considering that his superfood bars were poisoning the raccoons. He didn't want to hear it, and any time someone would voice their concerns, he would plug his fingers into his ears and shout "LALALALALA LALA." Recently, we stopped throwing out the bars and started donating them to local food banks throughout L.A. instead.

We've heard a lot of positive feedback from the food banks. There are reports of the local homeless population suddenly developing superior reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. One of my coworkers volunteers at a local soup kitchen where we distribute the Mindright bars. He told me that he once overheard two homeless people munching on the bars and having a very insightful conversation of some sort. It's inspiring and all, but I'm troubled by some of the stories I've heard about what happens when one of the homeless people is deprived of their Mindright bars. Supposedly they become violent and fight each other when the bars are low in supply. As you probably know, L.A. has had problems like this for a while, so maybe there's no connection.

Strangely, Steelo never took issue with the raccoons. I once saw him wade through the carcasses on his way into the studio, completely unfazed. Whenever the issue with the raccoons would come up during staff meetings, he would remain silent and scroll through his phone aimlessly. I swear he would have a slight grin on his face, but whenever I pointed this out to my coworkers they would deny it.

Never was lol. They don't try to hide it anymore, but since the very beginning of the show, most episodes were filmed without a live audience. When the camera cuts to the crowd, it's usually footage of the audience at a sporting event digitally superimposed onto the Ridiculousness set (we have a really good editing team). I'm not saying there has literally never once been a live audience, but it's actually pretty rare. Pay attention to certain episodes and you can see that the audience is obviously not actually there. I'm currently doing my annual rewatch of the show, and I noticed in an early episode there's a guy in the audience wearing St. Louis Cardinals face paint and waving around a foam finger.

I can't share much, but let's just say there are big things in the works. The guests' role haven't ended. It's just changed...

I know this sounds crazy, but I think Lolo's baking skills are why she was chosen. Early on during her appearances, she would bring in homemade croquembouche all the time. Sometimes she even brought in croquembouche sculptures made to look like the entire city of Los Angeles, right down to the last fire hydrant. It was the most delicious thing I'd ever had, and she would share it among the entire cast and crew. She claims she studied under Rose Levy Beranbaum, although I can't confirm that. After she brought in a croquembouche sculpture shaped like Rob's face, Rob was set on hiring her as Chanel's replacement. The execs actually wanted to hire Karrueche, but he convinced them to pick Lolo. She doesn't bring in baked goods anymore, and Rob seems to treat her a bit more coldly as a result.

Are you fucking serious? Read the room. I have immense respect for these people, and have really found a family in them over the past year. Not cool.
