Hey everybody, John Moe here from the hilarious world of depression.

And before we kick into our holiday coping mechanism spectacular show here,

the special edition of our show wanted to take a little moment to talk to you about what we're

doing and how it works and what you can do to help us out. And here to help me out is the executive

producer of the hilarious world of depression, Kate Moose. Kate, welcome to the studio.

Thank you, John Moe. It's good to be here today. You know, we're taking just a minute here to

talk to our listeners and our loyal audience about expressing support for the podcast that they

listen to regularly. Hilarious world of depression helps you talk about a topic that has been

subject to stigma in our world, depression, mental health, mental wellness. It's at the basis of

all of our health. And if this program has helped you, helped you talk to a friend, helped you

with your own mood. We ask you to support it now. Go to hilariousworld.org,

org. Hilariousworld.org and make a gift in support of the podcast you listen to.

And you know, we hopefully have given you some tools on this program, different ways,

different things you could use to deal with something like depression. And in this, what you're

about to hear on our special, we have all sorts of different ways, different tools for dealing with

the holidays, which can be a kind of a tough time. No kidding. You know, there's the way of dealing

with anxiety by naming it Steve and kind of yelling at it that way. Shut up, Steve. Shut up,

Steve. Get out of here. Laughter itself is a tool to kind of defang depression, take it down

a notch or two. But Kate, we have another tool that we can offer people an actual tangible object.

Do you want to talk about that? You bet. If you give a gift to hilariousworld of depression

before the end of calendar 17, we will send you as a thank you gift, a pillbox branded,

hilarious world of depression. How great is that? Something to show your friends and impress
