Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, you're listening to Ratchet and Respectable with

the Mietria Al Lucas.

Well, well, well.

As promised, I am delivering the pod episodes in back to back weeks.

This hasn't happened in a while.

Thank you for your patience as I gather myself and gather my life.

Things are a little crazy right now.

A lot of great possibilities on the horizon that just require a lot of attention.

My dad told me that this was going to happen.

Like I was putting all these irons into the fire and I was waiting for things to get hot.

My father was like, you know, they all going to like, you know, pipe up at the same time.

I was like, you don't know what you're talking about.

He was like, yeah, I've lived twice your lifetime and I actually do know way more than

you.

So you might want to listen to me.

And of course, I'm like, you don't know.

You don't know my life.

And then like everything he said comes to fruition.

Shout out to my dad.

I guess my cousin Jennifer showed him how to subscribe to my podcast, but my father listens

like immediately.

But yeah, like there's there's so much going on.
