According to Nick Youssef

I'm an idiot. I'm on vacation in the desert where it has been as hot as 111 degrees and as cool as 109 degrees. I decided it would be smart to record this episode in the rental car because it gave me privacy and good acoustics. Little did I know the car would automatically turn off after 15 minutes killing both the video and my braincells as the temperature rose sharply in a matter of seconds. Anyway, this is a short episode because I wanted to keep being alive.

I ran onto my friend Jessica Lewis at Maru Coffee in Los Feliz. I asked her what book she was reading and she said Gender Trouble," followed by a story about her very recent spiritual and sexual awakening. I stopped her mid story and said come on my podcast and tell me all about it. Not only is Jessica's story compelling, she exudes a cheerfulness, positivity and most importantly open mindedness that is seriously lacking in today's cultural and political landscape. This episode is along one, but worth it. It follows Jessica through her religious upbringing in the south and southwest US, years of home schooling, music school in Atlanta and the move to Los Angeles to pursue music all while struggling with questions about her sexual orientation that go against everything she has ben taught to believe her entire life. And don't worry, there is a very happy ending. Subscribe, rate and review Nick America on iTunes or listen wherever podcasts are found.

Wendi Starling is a good friend and hands down one of the funniest people I know. We make each other laugh so much and this episode is full of ridiculous tangents that spin off of very serious topics. Our comedic chemistry is so in tune we can talk about really dark shit and joke about it moments later. This is a two parter because we didn't even scratch the surface of what we were meaning to get to, which will be in part two next week.
