Hey guys, welcome back to Thicken Thin with me, Katie Bellatti.

I'm recording this early actually for my standards.

I usually end up recording my episodes on Tuesday evenings, go live on Thursdays.

As you guys know, I always post episodes on Thursdays, but right now it is Monday afternoon

and I just like, I'm getting the ball rolling early.

I don't know what's going on.

This Monday has been extremely productive for me, very unlike me.

I feel like Mondays are always a total drag and like I have a hard time getting through

them, but today we're doing great.

I'm not really sure why, but things are great.

We're productive over here.

The sun is shining after like four days of rain and we're doing great.

I have a good story for you guys today.

But honestly, I'm kind of phrasing it like it's a really good story, like a very positive

uplifting story and truly it's not, but it's really interesting nonetheless.

I feel like I always have these like chipper fun stories for you.

I mean, some of them end up with like someone getting beheaded, but for the most part,

I feel like my stories have been like lighthearted recently, but this one is a bit darker

and I promise you, you're not going to want to miss it though because it is, it's rather

interesting.

So today's story actually takes us to Ireland, 3,000 or so miles from where I'm sitting

right now here in the city.
