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 monologuing.

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. Happy freaking

Monday. It is Monday April 13th. Happy Monday April 13th. I hope you on a fabulous weekend. I hope

you're feeling well rested and rejuvenated and ready to tackle whatever life might throw at you this week. And I don't

think that that's asking too much of your favorite podcast host.

Deep breath. Everyone, take a deep breath with me. In through the nose.

Out through the mouth. There we go. new what's crack a lacin hated that

hated it as soon as i said it i hated it as soon as i thought it but it didn't prevent me from saying it

unfortunately um yeah so i wasn't here last week ooh oopsie. I honestly, like, the week before last, when I should have

been recording last week's podcast, just kind of got away with, got away from me with, with Good Friday and

Easter because we all know I am a devout Christian. No, just because my brother came home for the

weekend. My mom had off of work. So it was, I was just, I was out. I was out in the world. And then,

then before I knew it, it was Easter Sunday. And I thought, uh-oh. Uh-oh. And then I was going to

record an episode on Monday. But then I also was like, I need to batch record three episodes this week.

So I couldn't possibly do a fourth that would have been late.

That would have been too much for me mentally to handle.
