I'm Nora McEnerney and this is Terrible Thanks for Asking.

It should come as no surprise to you if you've listened to this show before that I am

so fun at parties and by that I mean I don't often go to parties but when I do, when I do

you can count on me having an in-depth conversation in inappropriately deep conversation with a

person I have just met.

Within 15 minutes of the last social function that I was invited to, I knew the mental health

history, family dynamic and deepest fears of one of my table mates we both cried, we

forged a bond that could only be broken by the end of the actual event and I think we

both know that if we ever cross paths again we will pick up right where we left off the

bond we had was unbreakable.

I also found it afterwards only one of us was on shrooms and it was not me.

Do you know that the name of my podcast, this podcast was a rejected title for my first

book because the publisher was afraid it was a little too negative for a book about

my husband dying of brain cancer.
