Jay has suffered from anxiety and depression since he was 13. Bullied as a chubby kid, but grew up to be a metalcore playing, indie wrestling, stand-up comedian with a heart of gold. Being a Christian with anxiety and depression led to all sorts of religious manipulation, demonic explanations, and attempted exorcisms. But alas there's no demon. Just a human, finding his way through his fantastic journey.

Rowan is a former Christian with a tender heart in opposition to injustice. She has a hot and fiery, triggered disposition with a will to fight back and she does. When coming out, she faced similar commotion that many before her have gone through. But when her journey led her to find herself to be genderqueer, a non-binary human, her understanding of love grew even more. In this episode, we hint at her story but find ourselves neck deep into injustices and waist deep into the all too easy to fall for racial profiling of the service industry.   JOIN THE MONDAY MELTDOWN SHOW ASK ME ANYTHING | PHONE CALLS AND COMMENTS | SHARE YOUR MELTDOWN Call: 206-395-5608 Email: zacg@LosingOurReligion.org Tweet & Follow: @ZacGandara SUPPORT THE PODCAST Rate & Review Become a Producer DONATE SHOP THROUGH OUR Amazon Portal  JOIN US Join the CounterCulture Society - Get Emails & Deals!

A weird and awesome ride with Emmett Montgomery! He’s an ex-Mormon, stand up comedian, storyteller, who's worked with brilliants like Maria Bamford, Dave Chappelle, and TJ Miller. Emmett was also part of the top 100 in NBC’s Last Comic Standing Season 9. Emmett is an amazingly soft-spoken compassionate guy. He shares his story candidly and understands what it's like to walk away from everything.
