Welcome back to the L'Priori podcast.

I'm your host, Daniel Lopriori.

Today I'm joined by nobody.

It's just me.

Yeah, Jared is on his cross-country trek to Arizona.

Wish him the best of luck.

You wanted me to tell you guys that he loves you guys, and thank you so much for the support.

Michael's at home.

Michael was down to do the show, but if you guys follow me on Instagram, you guys probably

have heard or seen.

And then for those who haven't, a very, very dear, dear friend of mine passed the way on Friday.

And we usually film on Sunday or Monday, and to just be quite honest with you, I didn't feel

like doing it.

It wasn't something that I saw as something that I was capable to do.

I'm recording this on Tuesday, and it's all the fans who wait for it to come out at 7 a.m.

on Tuesday.

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me this week.

It was just something that I couldn't really wrap my head around,

excuse me, getting done and being in that type of mood.

But yeah um so to let you guys know like i said dear friend of mine uh took his own life on

friday and um it's it's it's a really really tough thing to go through.

You know, living so much on the Internet, being so transparent with my struggles.
