Welcome to Episode 597 with my guest Mary Mack. We recorded this episode live in front

of an audience at Cisifis Brewing and Minneapolis. Many thanks to them. I forgot to thank them

during the recording of the podcast. My name is Paul Gilmorton. This is the mental illness

happy hour place for honesty about all the bullshit rattling around in our heads. I am not a

therapist. It's not a doctor's office. More like a waiting room that doesn't suck. The website

for this show is metalpod.com. Metalpod also the social media handles you can follow us at.

I don't know why I say that every fucking week. The number of people that follow me is not really

going up. But there you have it. One thing I would like for you to do and I hate to

say everybody does this. But if you could subscribe to this podcast. Click that little button.

It does help or download numbers and that helps me you know pay the bills. So there you have it.

Let

us know what you think is the best way to do it. But survey monkey was down today. And what a great

example of just having to cope. Having to cope. I always stress that some portion of the podcast

is not up to snuff. Maybe I didn't put enough care into selecting the surveys and ordering them.

And you know, cutting out you know extraneous parts here and extraneous parts there.

And I went to survey monkey today to go through the surveys to print them out for today's show.

And they've got some new login protocol. And I'm putting my password in and it's not working.

And then they have the thing that says click here to get an email sent to you. So you can reset

your password. Clicked it maybe 25 times. Just kept checking my email. After about an hour and a half,

I sent an angry tweet to survey monkey. And nothing. Nothing so far. So these are the surveys

that I had laying around. So this is my way of saying this is the best that I have.

Please still love me. Oh my god. I might as well still be in kindergarten.
