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 monologuing.

I'm Mads Munchin. I'm your host today and always because

well quite frankly this is literally my podcast so who else is going to host it. Happy freaking Monday.

It is Monday, April 27th and I know that right away because I'm recording this on Sunday,

April 26th. Oops. A few weeks ago I said I was going to batch three episodes only got around to batching two, which is fine. Honestly, April 26th. Oops. A few weeks ago, I said I was going to batch three episodes,

only got around to batching two, which is fine. Honestly, some is better than none. So here I am,

recording this episode incredibly last minute, is what it is. Doesn't make a difference to you.

Honestly, it just, it just is more of a hindrance for me. And a great reminder to plan ahead and to actually follow through on those plants. It's, planning ahead is so great unless you follow through in the plants. That's one thing that I've learned in my 27 years on this earth. I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I hope you're feeling well-rusted and rejuvenated and ready to tackle whatever life might throw at you this week. And I don't think that that's asking too much of your favorite podcast host.

Deep breath.

In through the nose.

Out through the mouth.

Take a sip of water.

Why don't you?

You're probably dehydrated.

Yeah.

What's been going on?
