Hey, hi, how are you? Yeah, I am feeling a bit awkward today, if I'm being honest, because I have to sit

you down and have a serious conversation with you today. That's really what it feels like.

Jokes aside, it literally feels like I'm sitting down a friend to have a serious conversation.

And that's never fun.

Yes, it can be productive and healthy and beautiful, but that doesn't mean it's easy.

That doesn't mean it's fun. Hell, it's never fun. Today, I'm going to be giving you some news that I consider to be bittersweet. For those of you who enjoy

anything goes, it might be shitty news. For those of you who hate anything goes, oh my God, this is going to be your favorite episode I ever make. In fact, turn it up. Turn it up. You're going to love this one. Let's just rip off the Band-Aid. Okay, let's stop beating around the bush. I am taking a little podcast break.

Okay, yep.

Taking a little podcast break.

Now, let's rip the bush. I am taking a little podcast break. Okay, yep, taking a little podcast break.

Now, let's rip the band-aid all the way off because that was just ripping it halfway off.

Let's rip it all the way off now. I don't know how long the break's going to be. I wish I had

answers for you. I don't have answers for you. I'm taking an indefinite podcast break.

Now, I know you're thinking,

Emma, that means quitting. That means you're done forever. Emma, where did this come from?

This is coming out of left field. I feel betrayed by you. Fuck you. You're a fucking bitch.

You suck. Go fuck yourself. Go punch your, go into the backyard and beat yourself up. You're a bitch and you suck,

and I'm unsubscribing and I'm blocking you and you suck. Honestly, if you feel that way about this news that I just gave you, I take that as a compliment because the fact that you

enjoy this show enough to be mad at me is actually really nice. But yes, okay,

I understand all these feelings if you're feeling this way. I also can't tell if I'm like,

am I being too self-important? Like, does no one even give a fuck? You know what I mean? Am I like,

okay, you guys, let's rip off the band-aid with this bad news. I'm taking a podcast break and everyone's like, okay.
