Hey, welcome to the mentally chill podcast. It's your host, Kristen Carney. And you just heard the

thunder intro. Normally, I saved that for a few minutes in and use it to introduce the guest.

But I used it just now because the guest happens to be here with me. And I must say she is quite the

looker. Not much on the smarts, but very

attractive. Kristen Carney, everybody. Hi, thank you for having me. So glad to be here. I'm the guest

today. It's just me. We're alone. We're going to get intimate. And the reason I am doing this

alone show is because I posted on Instagram saying,

do you guys want the drug rehab story show today?

Or do you want just me alone talking about anxiety today?

And 53% voted for me talking about anxiety, which of course gave me anxiety.

But I wanted to be a woman of the people

and listen to the people. So I am giving you what you're voting for. And I'm going to be talking

about anxiety things and some other things I've been meaning to get to. But before I get to the other

things I've been meaning to get to, I of I get to the other things I've been meaning to get to,

I of course have to say thank you to the new Patreon people, Jeryon or Jeryon? I don't know. It shouldn't

be this hard. Why is you guys with these names, can you just please be Dave, Becky? I'm not saying just be white. I'm just saying I sound really dumb. I don't know J-E-R-O-E-N.

Gerion. Geron. It's probably beautiful in French and I just can't do it. I wish I could. Please teach me.

Gerion, Michaela, and Nathaniel, thank you for becoming new cult members. And the reason it

sounds culty to me is because when I send a thank you to someone for joining, sometimes I'll say,

we're so glad you're here, or we're so glad you came or something to that extent.

And I can see that almost over the door of a very creepy cult.

Then you walk in and women are just sitting there and long skirts sewing.
