Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats.

The show is about to begin.

I am so viscerally afraid of accidentally texting the chief of police.

Kind of weird, that's all she wrote.

You are in my thoughts and prayers in perpetuity.

Now mind you, I don't even have the chief of police's phone number, and why would I?

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to monologuing.

I'm Mads Mitch, and I am your host today and always because well quite frankly this is literally my podcast so who else is going to host it. Happy freaking Monday. It is Monday October 6th I think happy Monday October 6th I think. I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I hope you're feeling well rested and rejuvenated and ready to

tackle whatever life might throw at you this week. And I don't think that that's asking too much of your favorite podcast host. Oh my God, I'm out of breath.
