Episode 1420 - Nick Youssef
Nick Youssef found himself on the receiving end of anti-Arab hate when he took the standup stage shortly after 9/11, right at the start of his comedy career. It was that moment when Nick knew he was never going to let anyone get the better of him on the comedy stage ever again. Marc talks with Nick about how the shy son of Lebanese immigrants became a battle-hardened comic who just produced and released his first comedy special.

They also discuss Laurie’s role as the steward of Lou Reed’s legacy, including the new book she helped edit of Lou’s writing on Tai Chi.

Really Insightful
One of the OG's in the Podcast World.
On & Off
I’d describe myself as an on and off listener. Your most recent chat with Laurie Anderson with you gently guiding an absolute ethereal human being was simply beyond perfection. You must have felt it too. She is lovely. Thanks Marc
Love it!
Marc has a way of expressing his experience in the world with a chaotic energy followed by brutal honesty that is somehow balanced with his genuine sense of empathy for his fellow humans. I enjoy his chats with other famous people but it’s all the stuff in between that keeps me coming back. Life is hard, especially these days but there’s a sweetness to his worldview. Marc’s sense of humor and his weekly rants about his mischievous cats always make me feel a little less alone.
