Hey guys and welcome to Moms and Murder, a true crime podcast featuring myself Mandy and Melissa. Hi Melissa. Hi Mandy. How are you?

Are you doing great? Yeah. How do you really feel? I'm a little sleepy. It's much later than it normally is when we record and I'm hungry and I'm hungry. Yeah. So otherwise things are going well. We've already recorded and done a lot of stuff tonight. So we're we're soldiers and we're going to do this. We are. We're going to get a little punchy. I'm sure and probably more sarcastic with them we should. But that's what we're here for.

That's what we're going to do. So like the moms and murder late night edition. Don't say that because that has a whole different meaning. No, it's not. It is not that if you think that's what this is. Turn this episode off and go find something else. We are not the show for you.

Oh my gosh. Okay, Melissa, just get into the announcements. Conversations going off the rail. Totally you. Okay. So couple announcements for tonight. The first one is our two pods a day reminder. We wanted to remind you guys that we are part of the two pods two pods a day campaign. It aims to introduce podcast listeners to two independent podcasts every day for the month of October. We hope to give this ability to some of the great indie podcasts that you probably haven't heard of.

Two pods a day encourages you to listen more and listen. Indie. I love saying that. That's my favorite part of the whole thing. It makes you sound like a radio analysis. I know I feel very cool. Professional. Yeah. I like yours better. So this is our 14th episode. But next week is our big 15th episode and who celebrates a 15th episode? We do.

So my kids aren't here for a couple of days or with my parents. And so I had a terrible idea in the middle of the night. Like why don't we invite a bunch of people to join us for our 15th episode?

Great. Okay. And also everybody only has a few days to get everything into us. Even better. And also let's be under the wire. Got it. So if you this is the first time you're hearing about this. You've already met. You've already missed the deadline. You can't join us because it's due today.

Technically it was due yesterday because we only announced it on social media. So find us on social media. We talk about these random things all the midnight announcements. That's where you find it. So anyway, so our 15th episode. It's going to have a Q&A with our kids, which we talked about before. So hopefully you've gotten those questions in. And then we have some extra special treats with you guys for you guys.

We do. Yeah. Well, I'm thinking like, do we tell what is doing? So we'll have different podcasters on right telling. I'm not going to say what they're telling, but different podcasters from different genres because we wanted to really mix it up. Right. And just have some of our friends on here. And then also some listeners will be a part of our 15th special episode.

So what ever this is going to turn out to be. We meant to do something for our 10th, but we just got real confused on what day things were due and when to do things and it took us five more weeks to not even

typical of basically everything that I ever tried a schedule and plan for it in my life. I thought a planner today because I only wrote two things in it and was like, well, that's just taking

a second. I bought a planner at the beginning of the year and I've been trying to keep up with writing things in it. But then I just forget to go back and look in it to see. Did I have something plan this day? No, I'll write it in. Yeah.

I use my phone one and that one works really, really well for me. Okay. So then also, oh, by the time you hear this, we'll have hit over 50,000 downloads. Oh, my God. Don't you want me to edit that later? And I'm not going to do it.

They can't see the arm movements and the, you know, bodily.

So thank you for sticking with us for 50,000 downloads. What are you people doing with your time? No, Melissa's lovely. It's really me that how we would be

scaring off.

Drove is of people at a time. I literally said, what are you doing with your time after our thank you? So I may be more offensive than you.

But we don't want to compete for that because we lose everyone. So thank you so much. That makes us feel really special. And I don't know what's happening over there on

Libson, but the numbers are going to be higher. And then also wanted to remind you about our Patreon account, patreon.com slash moms and murder podcasts.

Feel free to support your favorite moms or not. Yeah. Or don't honestly totally recall. I don't know if I would support it. I can barely get my husband to support us at this.

And then also Facebook group mums the word lots of fun over there. We swear gifting is coming to an end. Welcome gifts will be gone soon.

But I don't want to be the one to break it to people. I know we've just dug ourselves into a deep, deep hole with gifting and there's no getting out of it now. So yeah, inquire with it. And if you're interested in choir with me coming.
