In this episode, I share with you all about my recent trip to Los Angeles where the podcast was nominated as one of the best queer podcasts of 2020 by Queerty. I share with you how I initially didn't want to go due to logistics, the difficulty booking a last minute flight, the hilarity of going down Hollywood Blvd with a commode chair, the inaccessibility of our hotel, what it felt like being the only power wheelchair user at the awards and so much more.

In this first in a little miniseries on the show, I wanted to take a deep, deep dive into the question that so many disabled people get asked all the time which is, "What's Your Condition?" So, on this episode, I look at what Cerebral Palsy is; its history, how it is diagnosed, and how it manifests in people who live with it. A lot of important info in this one.

This episode is gonna be a little different. In part 1 of "F**ck Andrew Gurza" I sit down with my friend Daniel Villarreal as we explore the possibilities of us having sex together. Daniel has never had sex with a wheelchair user, we both think each other is hot and we want to have sex together. So, in part 1 we explore what excites us about that, what scares us about that, why we find each other hot, we unpack some ableism and more. Enjoy!
