All righty, hello and everyone, everyone, welcome to it. It is the 22nd of April,

2026. It's Wednesday. We're halfway to the weekend, And I sure could use it. Appreciate you listening to the program. Just a quick note. I don't want to keep belaboring this point.

It's probably not going to be a super funny week just because I'm just not in that mood. And I do appreciate all the notes. some of you are very just considerate and all of you

are in the notes and the comments and Facebook and the Patreon and all that stuff I

don't have the ability to respond I have the time itish. I do. But I don't have it in me to respond.

It's one of the things that you just, you sit there. And you don't want to think about it,

but you can't help but think about it. And so I know that people are like, oh, God, you was you push, you, but whatever. I don't want to think about it, but you can't help but think about it. And so I know that people

like, oh, God, you what's supposed to do? Whatever, I don't care. Don't listen. It doesn't matter to me.

But, you know, it's not that I don't appreciate it. I do appreciate it. But I can't write back.

I just can't. Even if I could write back, I can't write back. I just can't.

Even if I could write back, I can't write back.

I, um, like at work, I'm working remotely and like tell the people that I, the one person that I talked to you online, I'm like, I don't want to talk about it.

Don't ask about it.

I don't want to talk about anything.

And so there's no banter or anything during commercial breaks. I just sit there and I don't want to do it.

I have to do the job because I have to do the job, but I apologize because it feels different.

This feels different. And it's not where I like to be. It's not where I've been in a long time, but it's where I am now.

And I guess you just got to power through because what are the choices you have, right? So let's get to it. But thank you for all that, the kind notes and the donations and everything it's just it's super meaningful

it is and i wish i could i wish i was the type of person who could have

that i don't appreciate it but could like let it be known the way it deserves to be known

and i appreciate it but i just i don't want, I don't want to talk about what I can't

stop thinking about, if that makes sense, because it just, it just doesn't. It just doesn't.
