This episode of Monocycle is brought to you by TNT's Good Behavior,

the new seductive thriller that tells the story of a thief and a con artist,

trying to stay afloat and reunite with her 10-year-old son.

Chaos returns to this con artist's life when she overhears a hitman being hired to kill another man's wife and sets out to derail the job.

Dun, done, done.

TNT will be live tweeting every episode of the show and the hashtag is good behavior.

Let me know if you watch it.

We can talk about it at a later date.

Caching, caching, biling, bling, bling, bling! We can talk about it at a later date.

Caching, kaching, bling, biling, bling!

I was in a really shitty mood on Friday night.

I was really exhausted from the week.

We had to scrap all of the stories we'd had scheduled for Wednesday through Friday and rewrite everything.
