This episode was recorded in Seoul, Korea

Nevada Rhodes not only has the best last name ever he is a one man volcano bursting with fabulosity. He is tall, blonde and muscular living in Seoul, Korea where he not only speaks fluent Korean he is also one of the stars of the long running hit Korean TV show 'Strange TV Surprise!' He also does stand up comedy and that is how I met him. 

I love traveling and presenting to you the many beautiful lunatics I know all over the globe but Nevada is not a lunatic, he is one of the sweetest, most sincere, loving human beings I have ever met. We recorded this on his rooftop garden in Seoul where two ducks and one chicken live among the bountiful array of plant life. He is like the heroine of a Disney animated cartoon the way he cares of all of the life sprouting on his roof and he also teaches Korean children about musicals.

He tells me that living in Korea he feels more free than he ever did in the United States. Of growing up in America he said "Being my fabulous faggotty self I learned from a very early age if you make people laugh they won't beat you up."

When I am in Seoul I always have to stop by and see my friend Nevada because he allows himself to be fabulous which in turn allows others around him to be fabulous. It is my pleasure to present to you now, the one and only Nevada Rhodes!
