You’re Welcome w/ Zoe Nightingale

You’re Welcome is a satirical improv comedy show whose goal is to find and share peoples stories, from all over the world.

Each episode is unique and can range from 5 minutes to an hour, and will feature a brand new topic usually with someone Zoe has just met. This podcast is not for the faint of heart, buckle up.

ABOUT YOU’RE WELCOME

Like most brilliant ideas, this show was started over a molotov concoction of alcohol and various illicit substances. Zoe had given up on her life long dream, of being the female Howard Stern years ago but finally set out armed with a folding table, a couple lawn chairs, and a foam board sign that read “Free Sex Advice.” One by one strangers stopped what they were doing and sat down to talk to them about their lives.

We’d like to take this moment to thank you for coming to our site and leave you with the eternal words of Oscar Wilde:

“I was under the impression that inordinate joviality can atone for an entire lack of class”

This show is done for one reason only, to bring laughter and remind you that we are all the same.

Love in the Time of Corona with Vikram Gandhi Apr 16, 2020

Show notes

HELLO WORLD!

It is I, Zoe Nightingale and I am BACK.

I know I know, it's been a minute, and for that I am deeply sorry. I got swallowed into a work worm hole without and exit but thankfully Corona in her all knowing glory, eviscerated my business and left her to die a slow prolonged death on the side of the highway! The silver-lining of that of course, is that it gave me the time to get back into my first love, podcasting.

Granted, it took me a while to grieve the loss of my previous life and settle into my new one. Turns out it's not easy to podcast when all you want to do is crawl into a ball and evaporate, but after a lot of green juice, ocean air and hardcore journaling, I AM BACK!

I am am here to provide you with the same kind of hard hitting investigative journalism that I have always have...but with a twist! Almost all of my new podcasts will be done over the phone... but never fear, we will be virtually tackling all your favorite topics such as:

SEX DRUGS GLITTER DRAG QUEENS FAILURE SUCCESS DEPRESSION MEANING OF LIFE ORGASMS PARTNERSHIP MONOGAMY PARENTING POLITICS MUSIC FURRY ANIMALS TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS HOMELESSNESS WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO NOW SHIT FUCK TOURETTES etc...

With some of the worlds most interesting humans.

First up, the one and only Vikram Gandhi who I met in 2008 when a boy I had a gigantic crush on called me and asked if I could host his friend Vikram for the Obama inauguration in Washington D.C. Host him I did, we proceeded to have one of the best weekends of my life.

The African American community of DC turned the city to and an 11 and I have never seen happiness and hope for the future on such a wide scale. Remember when we elected Obama? REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS NOT OUT PRESIDENT!!? It all seems like a quaint dream now...

Since then I've watched him crush life in almost every aspect. A celebrated documentary film maker, feature film director, producer, and one of Vice's best journalists whose been traveling to every corner of the globe for a decade bringing us stories that never would have seen the light of day if not for his cameras. Thank you Vikram! You are an inspiration and a delight to be friends with.

Check out my favorite thing he ever did, his movie Kumare: https://kumaremovie.com/

So enjoy my first podcast, I will be posting more very soon and I hope my voice can keep you company and remind you that at some point, you will have sex again. I promise. I have no idea who with, I could be a vegetable, but it will happen.

All joking aside, wherever you are in the world, I send you so much virtual love. This is the single best and worst time to be a human. I'll be posting some comedy writing on activities you can do during quarantine to keep your collective chins up shortly and don't forget if you need me, I'm here! You can find me

THIRTY FUCKING FIVE - What a difference two years makes Jul 31, 2019

Show notes

This is the happiest day of my life.

Hands down.

ZeroSpace, my Alien Adult Playground opens tonight.

I am turning 35, today, which in my mind was always a scary age because it was the age of Miranda when Sex and the City started and she seemed like a female crypt keeper to me with her lawyer job and awkward accessories and pleated pants and real old lady ovary problems.

But, it turns out, thirty fucking five is amazing. Because it took me this long to actually come into my body completely. To let go of the literal weight my choices had piled on top of my broken shoulder bones.

No matter what else happens in my life, today, I got to hold my mothers hand and show her that I'm going to be ok. That all the lessons she's been teaching me in her way have finally come home to roost.

Today, I finally have earned my name.

Today I finally feel like I deserve her love.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I Only Smoke Organic Colorado River Toad - You're Welcome Vs. Very Ape: Round 1 Jul 20, 2019

Show notes

So, I never do this. I don't usually go on other peoples podcasts, but when my new podcast advisor tells me to do something I do it. So he connected me to Sean and Cass from the Very Ape Podcast, two psychonauts who are also on the Mind Pod network I am in, I scheduled a meeting with them the very next day.

Full warning, this podcast, was a huge departure for me in many ways, mostly, because I have never done a joint interview in this way, but predominantly because I talked about many, many personal things that I usually keep in a tiny pandoras box inside my tummy. The next morning I experienced a "vulnerability hangover" so intense that I just wanted to crawl into a ball and expire.

So...I have nothing but intense love for these two. Sean and Cass are documentary film makers (all of their films are available for free HERE

where they tackle such topics as Oxycotin, addiction, fandom, Americana, Jugaloo's thrupples (a working relationship involving three loving equally loving partners) Trump, cam girls, all the good stuff.

So I arrived to their gorgeous Greenpoint apt super late on a Monday night after 12 hours of incredibly confusing work, and a brain that literally had been reduced to Bisquick batter and we sat in their living room surrounded by candles and talked for literally hours. I didn't know anything about them and to say that our worlds line up and our values are in complete balance is a wicked understatement. More to come from our new friendship thrupple. Maybe, just maybe, they can teach me how to not ruin scissoring. Fingers crossed!

THANK YOU SEAN AND CASS

Work Real Hard to Get Lucky Jul 11, 2019

Show notes

People who live amongst NYC streets are my favorite people to interview.

No filter, nothing to hide, full of stories of survival, and often incredibly funny and charming. I have been trying, for years, to find a way to use my podcast for actual good and have been searching for a platform to take the work I want to do with the homeless community, and I had found one, in the Bowery Mission.

I had created a show, that I was going to personally fund, that was going to try to find five NYC homeless and get them the counseling and training they need to qualify for NYC free housing. Could I actually use the tools that are available in one of the richest cities in the world to affect someones life in a real way forever.

But alas, my past caught up with me and despite telling them from the very beginning that I was a person with a colorful internet search history who had a penchant for felons, drug addicts, sex workers and niche communities...they decided after many moons of work together that who I was overshadowed the benefit I was trying to provide and they literally cut my legs out from under me in what was to this day one of the oddest and coldest reversals of favor I've experienced. I will always wonder what was the thing that they found that was so shocking that they could no longer let me try to raise money for them and their cause but whatever, I moved on.

So, I'm going to do this on my own. Fuck it. If anyone can think of a great sponsor to help me on this quest, please email me at zoenightingle@gmail.com.

Either way, this is the first person I'm starting with, Lucky.

A beautiful man, who is dripping in charisma and style, and who is looking for a second chance at life. In his mid 20's with a wrist full of bracelets and a mouth full of smiles.

Tune in to see how my quest to get Lucky back on his feet goes.

The Luckiest Unlucky Man in the World: DEMF ep. 5 Jul 06, 2019

Show notes

The game of Life. If only it came with instructions that made any sense. Sometimes you meet people so good at navigating the twists and turns their little plastic car must make that it leaves you speechless. This man was one of them. A literal walking miracle. He survived something that would have killed almost anyone else, and he did it with style.

This was my last interview from Detroit, and is happened literally on the way to the airport with an anonymous man that made my heart swell to twice it's size and all my problems seem like a grain of sand being washed up against the shore.

Wishing you all the luck in the world -

To me, you are a superhero. To me you are the best dad in the universe.

So this ends our brief time in Detroit, next up were going back into the lions den of Ketamine and depression with Dr. Will Siu. Get excited! You can now get K at a compound pharmacy NEAR YOU! New episode Every Friday, be here AND be queer.

Detroits Undercover Federal Agent Dance Queen: DEMF Ep. 4 Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

Introducing Sierra!

I was at Motor City Wine Bar, dancing with an umbrella that had a giant middle finger on it, basically alone to the literal sickest tunes. However, there was one other person on the floor, a women whose skin was the color of milk dropped into espresso. In a slick silk flight suit, dancing harder than me. We circled each other on the dance floor like lions circling their prey. It wasn't long before I introduced myself and informed her that I was going to have to escort her outside and talk to her about her life, and talk we did.

Almost any time I did this in Detroit, I was blown away but the infinite icebergs that lived inside my dance companion.

I love you Detroit.

I Love Eating Pussy - No Homo: DEMF Ep. 3 Jun 21, 2019

Show notes

I can't even begin to explain the whirlwind of dancing I was in when I met Simone. I casually was trying to explain and show to a bunch of women why I've always had a hard time twerking. These women thought this was hilarious. I just can't do it.

One of these women was covered in star tattoo's, and had this huge gorgeous smile and a boatload of banter and I thought, yep this is a woman who probably needs to step into a dark ally way with me sit on a pile of hazardous construction materials and chat with me about her life.

And chat we did! I learned a lot from Simone, and what's interesting is she helped me understand some things about how you can live with dual sets of beliefs running concurrently inside your mind without them crashing up into one another. It's something I've been thinking about a lot as the upcoming elections loom closer and I try to figure out how is it that so many people can be so warm and loving and kind and still harbor these icebergs beneath the surface that need to be thawed out.

So how DO we help people melt these icicles...? Now that is the question.

See you soon Simone.

Javonntte - Aretha Franklins BBoy: DEMF Ep. 2 Jun 14, 2019

Show notes

Introducing JT and Javonntte - two men I met inside of Motor City Wine Bar during DEMF music festival.

Both little rays of happiness and sunshine, both there to celebrate the music that is the fabric that holds Detroit together.

I can't say enough about how much fun Detroit it. For a girl who knows her dance parties, this one is just the ultimate. There's no bullshit, it's accessible and affordable, it's full of people there to dance not to be seen. All ages, all colors, all religions, everyone there just to lose themselves in the moment of release.

Thank you Detroit, thank you JT, thank you Javonnette for welcoming me with open arms and sharing your infinite love with me.

I have a new survey on my website www.zoenightingale.com please take it and help me connect with you better!

Motor City Blues: DEMF Ep. 1 Jun 06, 2019

Show notes

Detroit, the Motor City. Once one of the most prosperous destinations for the American Dream, now a city in full recovery from devastating economic hardship.

Established as a fur trading outpost by the French in the 1700's, Detroit became a thriving metropolis where immigrants from all over the world could come to pursue a life free of persecution. The birthplace of Motown, and Techno and the manufacturing epicenter for Ford, GM and Chrysler, this was always a city that was full of life, prosperity and innovation.

But this is a place that has faced bankruptcy, drug infestation, violence and crime so overpowering that a large portion of it's inhabitants abandoned their homes in search of calmer waters leaving a city with a stale economy, depressed housing prices and little chances of upward mobility through employment.

But that's changing, and little by little, Detroit is rising up from the Ashes it was reduced too. Almost everyone I met were some of the most open, hard working, musical, fascinating hustlers you could ever imagine. I love it. I want nothing more than for it to be returned to it's former glory and be celebrated for the creative utopia it truly is. So I went to Detroit over Memorial Day Weekend for DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music Festival) that was started in 2000 that has seen millions of people flock to it's dance floors in search of the kind of music that makes your whole body release it's anger and embrace it's more natural loving state.

In between dancing so hard I literally wore out the soles of my shoes, I pulled people off the decks and out of the dance floors to talk with me about who they were and what this city meant to them. How music has shaped them, and in some cases saved their lives.

You'll be hearing a little bit about the history of Techno, and House music, as well as hearing about what is happening in real time to rebuild this historic city.

This is Piranha Head, a Composer, trained musician and producer who grew up with Moody Man (referred to as "Kenny" in this episode, another one of the D's best exports) I literally pulled him off the decks and brought him outside of Moody Mans BBQ on Sunday Night (cost 5 dollars at the door with a donation based bar!! CAN YOU BEAT THAT NO YOU CANNOT IT WAS THE BEST).

We'll be hearing more from this wondrous human in the future, I only could keep him off the decks for 20 minutes, but damn was he able to make good use of our time together.

I love you Detroit. Thank you for an incredible weekend that made me re fall in love with the dance floor.
