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 Mitch and I am 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, November 3rd. Crazy. It's November. Granted when I'm recording this, it's not we're not even close. It's not even close to November. But it is, it is. When you're listening to this, it's very much November 3rd. And that's crazy. This past weekend was daylight savings in the U.S. I don't, and how is it bad this time? I can't remember. I think we lose an hour of sleep. Do we? Or do we gain an

hour of sleep? Do we lose sleep in the fall or do we gain sleep? Let's check. This will give me

something to either be really excited about or really, really bummed about. Do we lose an hour of sleep in

November? No, we gain an hour of sleep. Yay. Okay. But we also lose the sun.

The sun will be setting at 4 p.m. That sucks so bad. It sucks so bad. Oh my God. It sucks so bad, guys.

Okay. But we'll power through when perseverance at least we gain an

extra hour's sleep that's nice they had to throw us a bone um I hope you had a fabulous weekend

I'd be feeling well rested you should be because you gained an hour of sleep um and rejuvenated

and ready to tackle whatever life might throw you this week and I don't think that that's asking

too much of your favorite podcast host this week's, we're de-influencing each other.

And I think that's a really, really beautiful thing. It's, we're hard pressed for, for, for times like

this where people are actually de-influencing people to do or consume or purchase certain things.

I will say that I got less, less I got less write-ins about purchases.

I was really hoping for product forward because I think that's what the world is suffering

from right now is just like overconsumption to a crazy level.
