For the 20th episode of Nick Has A Poolhouse, past guests Monika Scott and Emily Faye come into the poolhouse and interview me about what my family calls "the dark ages," which refers to the psychological and social issues I had from a child until high school.

For the first time in my life, I tell all of my weird stories about growing up as an outcast, taking elementary school classes only with deaf children, how my phobia of vomiting began with an incident that changed my life, going to a new school filled with bullies, developing OCD, constant female rejection, and then overcoming all of it (sort of).  

Tom Sibley comes over to the poolhouse to talk about his childhood fear of being kidnapped, the value of taking anti-depressants, learning to develop healthy relationships, and the most embarrassing moment of his life. 

Comedian Dave Ross comes over to the poolhouse and talks about the anxieties of having a successful show (the awesome Holy Fuck at the Downtown Independent Theater), occasionally being a melodramatic person, the value of being forced out of your comfort zone, and the most embarrassing moment of his life.

Comedian Greg Santos comes over to the poolhouse and talks about his very real fear of ghosts, the anxiety he gets for important shows, telling risky personal material onstage, and the most embarrassing moment of his life.

Stand-up comedian and writer Hampton Yount comes over to the poolhouse and talks about his fear of gaining back the dramatic amount of weight he's lost, feeling disconnected to other human beings, the difficulty of handling the "highs and lows" of his own career, and the most embarrassing moment of his life. 

Comedian/actor Matt Champagne comes over to the poolhouse and talks about being the youngest child by many years, mentally preparing for tragedy before it happens, and the most embarrasing moment of his life.

Ryan O'Flanagan, stand-up and member of Dead Kevin, comes over to the poolhouse to talk about being a quiet person, how being shy affects his personal relationships, his strong urge to have a stable life outside of comedy, and the most embarrassing story of his life. 

Eighteen year-old comedian/writer Emily Faye comes over to the poolhouse to talk about how twitter changed her social life, fighting through the fear of being onstage, her unique family situation, and the most embarrassing moment of her life.
