Nick America #16: Supremely Stupid, Metal Song Titles and No on Nazis Aug 15, 2017

Show notes

I jump around a lot here and wonder how many collabs is too many collabs (Supreme I'm talking about you), a little serious Nazi talk, athleisure is pointless fad, and metal song titles are so insane and hilarious and how accepting I'm not a music aficionado anymore :(. Also: thoughts on the new Harry Styles album. REMEMBER: Subscribe to Nick America on iTunes and rate and review the podcast.

Show notes

Solo episode. I explain why Yeezy's are awful, awful shoes (and where to get better ones). I talk about the difference between stylish and trendy. I also get into the new Arcade Fire and why bands that take risks and venture out into the unknown and challenge you are better in the long run. ALSO: New pins an stickers are now available!

Nick America #14: Unplug, Wander, Meditate Jul 25, 2017

Show notes

Solo episode! Driving back from a gig in Arizona has given me time to more closely examine the importance of solo time and letting your thoughts wander uninterrupted. I try walking with no headphones for the first time in a while. I leave my phone and watch behind when I go eat. I decide to pull further back from social media and see how it impacts my mindset, creativity and overall stress and anxiety levels. I sign up for a meditation class. What else can I try? We'll see how these go first and plan rom there. Remember to subscribe, rate and review the podcast on iTunes. Thanks you and see you next week!

Nick America #13: Joe Dosch Jul 18, 2017

Show notes

Joe Dosch is a great guy and a funny comedian. Joe is also a gay white male who grew up in a small town in South Dakota where his high school graduating class was 62 people. Needless to say his experience is unique. Joe didn't come out of the closet until his mid-twenties partly due to his environment and not exactly being sure what was going on in his mind. He shares what exactly that means with me and it we talk about how it has led him to a much happier life here in Los Angeles where he is living his dreams as a working comedian. Follow Joe on Twitter: @joedosch and check him out in Los Angeles at The Comedy Store where he just became a paid regular. Subscribe to Nick America on iTunes and rate and review the podcast.

We talk about the shared feeling of feeling like mutants and what us and can be done as far as representing minorities more accurately in entertainment. All that and more.

Show notes

Helder Guimaraes is an award winning magician and a really interesting well traveled guy. He hails from Portugal but has lived and worked all over the world doing his unique and amazing work. Helder and I sat down in a park in Studio City, CA to talk about his approach to his art and how traveling and seeing the world has informed his view of people and life. I learned a new word in Portugese: 'saudade' and it introduced me to the 'fado' genre of music that is based mostly on its meaning. All that and more.
