If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you've probably heard the voice of Lisa Gunger.

My name is Lisa Gunger. Welcome to the Clidages.

Whale eats the shark, and then we find out there's this sea monster that no one's ever heard of and he eats the whale.

And it's just like, no, no, no, you know, just one thing after nearly. Really.

There's moments, the merging of two cells into one, multiplying, two, four, six, eight.

Maybe the beginning of it all, the voice of God, the big bang, whatever you name it, maybe everything came into being like a great cosmic orgasm.

Yeah, the cosmic orgasm, lady, that's my wife.

18 years of marriage, the only woman I've ever kissed, and the only woman that I know of, that I would not regret that decision with.

But aside from being my wife, she's also my creative counterpart.

Many of the best Gunger songs are thanks to her, really, at mind and gigantic heart.

Through the years, I've noticed time again how Lisa has often been overlooked and ignored for her creative contributions to the work that we do together.

A lot of times people will see me and ignore her, which I don't know what they're thinking.

If you've seen pictures of us, but far too many times we've been in a space where I've heard Michael, how'd you come up with the lyric blah blah blah when the lyrics being spoken of were Lisa's.

Far too many times we've been invited to an interview where they forgot to get a stool for Lisa, because they only remember that I, the man was coming.

Sure, many people approach her and love her. I mean, how could they not? She's very friendly, brilliant, not bad on the eyes, extremely talented.

The truth is though that she's never been one to try to hog a spotlight. She's perfectly content sitting in a dark room by herself playing piano, reading books to our girls and our grey rocking chair, or just sitting in some tree somewhere, staring out at the world in wonder.

Lisa's never been a schmoozer, a self-promoter, or a person to push herself to the front of the line.

But you know what? I am the producer of a fairly large podcast. So today, I'm gonna do it for her.

Because here's the thing, she wrote a book, a beautiful, heart-opening tissue box, depleting book, and it comes out tomorrow during 26th, everywhere the books are sold.

And as I mentioned, she's not a big schmoozer, a self-promoter, and so her marketing plan for it primarily is like she wrote some really nice handwritten notes and gave the book to some of her friends.

You know, that's nice and all. But as I spoke with Mike, we decided that we wanted more of you to hear about this book than the friends that got the handwritten notes.

The book is really just too good. And I know I'm biased. I'm admitting the bias up top, but it really is an amazing book.
