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 monologging 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?

took me six hours. And I love nothing more than to speak uninterrupted for many, many moons.
