Before we get started today, I just wanted to let people know this episode deals seriously

with some difficult subjects including suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and these are sensitive

subjects for a lot of people.

If that includes you, please keep in mind before you listen, and if you or someone you know

needs help, please you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Hello to everybody who doesn't really want to make a joke in the opening to this one.

It's beautiful, shorties, it's half an hour, it's my phone call, it's no names, it's no

name, it's a bad word.
