Welcome to Questions from the Closet. I'm Charlie Bird.

And I'm Ben Shalatti. Each episode we have been discussing questions we commonly get asked

as LGBTQ plus Saturday Saints. We don't try to answer these questions or come to a consensus,

but simply share our perspectives. Today's question is how do you deal with burnout?

Charlie and I are not terribly diverse and we share many opinions and life experiences.

For example, we both agree that we need a break.

However, that's funny. Sorry.

However, I did come up with it. Of course, it's funny.

However, there are some pretty big differences. For example, I wanted to break back in December.

And I was like, no way we're not taking a break.

And it took me about four and a half additional months to convince Ben that we do, in fact,

need a break because things are getting out of hand.

Because back in December, you were like, you know, most podcasts do different seasons.

Maybe we should do different seasons. I was like, no, we don't need to do that. Let's just

keep doing it.

Yeah. Well, and it's hard. So basically, this episode is to announce that we're taking a short break.

Like a long break, like a vacation.

Yeah, like a sabbatical.

A hiatus.

And it's been hard to do that because we both love doing this.

Like, even just coming here to the studio tonight, I was like, oh, this is so fun.

I want to keep doing this.
