This is Kofi Kingston and you're listening to the best of the new day.

Feel the power on Spotify.

Thank you guys for tuning in this week.

It's going to be a little bit different than it normally is.

As you know, this is a podcast full of a lot of high energy and it's very jovial, very light.

Usually tons of laughs and stuff, but we're not really laughing a lot right now.

And so we just want to make sure that everybody understands this is going to be very heavy for a lot of people.

For a lot of people that don't know these things, we hope that you are able to listen and

use this to hopefully educate yourselves on someone else's life experiences that you may not have the,

you may not have the same ones.

So I am Xavier Woods and we have multiple people here on the panel.

So please, Kofi.

I'm Kofi Kingston.
