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 monologging.

I'm Mads Mitch, and I'm your host today and always always because, well, quite frankly, this is literally my podcast. So who else is going to host it?

Happy freaking Monday. It is Monday, September 22nd. Happy Monday, September 22nd. I hope you had a fabulous weekend.

were also needing to be grounded in something that was good, something that was a net positive. And so I thought,

This podcast, I want to serve as self-care. I have a large list of things that are good. And some of

them are things that I added. Some of them are things that you guys

wrote in and so I added them to the list. And then I also asked you on the podcast, Instagram, what are things that you do to add whimsy into your life? Because I'm trying to think of things to make our day-to-day lives better. That's, yeah, at the end of the day, I want day- day to day us to not be in misery. I think that would be
