Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Murder podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa.

Hi, Melissa.

I'm Mandy. How are you?

I'm doing wonderful. As you can see, I have my voice back in full, and I'm very happy about that. I don't sound all raspy and weird,

and I don't know what happened there last week. You took a journey. I did. But it was a very

quick journey. It was. It was. So, yeah, so the day after we recorded the last episode where I

mentioned that I was getting a little bit of a hoarseness in my voice.

The very next day, I pretty much had no voice at all. I sounded like a complete frog, and I sent

Melissa a little voice memo on our phones, and I was like, listen to my voice now. Like, aren't you

so glad that we recorded yesterday? We timed that right, yeah. Yeah, because it was so much worse. But then I rapidly recovered, and now here we are. And I sound completely normal. And I'm very happy for that. You've convinced me that I need to drink more water because I'm like at the two-week mark and I'm still like, why am I coughing all the time chugging a Diet Coke? I really just want to feel better grabbing one for McDonald's,

you know, like double fisting them. I'm like, why can't I just heal myself? You're like,

you should drink more water. I'm like, oh, crap. That probably would help me. So I'm going to be

team water for the next few days. I'll, you know, how it works out. Probably good. It'll probably. Yeah, I'm absolutely positive that

that will work out well for you. I like that it's a competition with myself, but I'm still going to

drink a lot of Diet Coke. It just means I'm going to be peeing all the time because I'm going to

continue my intake, my normal intake. Yeah, but you just have to offset it with some water. Just drink some water. Fine. That's the motto. And for everybody listening, just drink some water. Stop what you're doing right now. Drink some water. Everybody needs to drink water and listen to this. So don't stop everything you're doing. But yeah, drink water. Fine. Also, this week we're sponsored by H2O. We're part of the Water Council, apparently, Sandy. I was like, are you going to catch on to what I'm doing here? It's not great. All right. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Please get us out of here. Yeah. All right. So we have a lot to get into this episode. I'm very excited. We're just

going to get straight into it because I'm so excited and don't want to say anything else before we get to it.

There's a number of jobs that I don't think I could ever personally do. Things like exterminator,

porta potty cleaner. Oh, sounds terrible. Landfell operator or even crime scene

cleaner. These are really just a few examples of important jobs that we need people willing to do,

but I'm just saying I am not among the willing. And we can go ahead and add mortician to the list of

jobs that I don't think I could ever do, but I do find it fascinating. And we can go ahead and add mortician to the list of jobs that I don't think
