We're live and we're in a mood. We're in a mood, but we're working through it, you know,

there's a lot to get to today. Thank you for your patience and waiting two weeks. I mean,

is there anything more on brand than me launching a new podcast and then taking the exact second week off?

I honestly thought I was going to be able to record in Italy.

But then I was like, wait, I really need to be like in my zone and in my safe space.

However, all of that is kind of thrown out the window today

because I had like too many crises right before I had to press live. I have to say,

it's interesting recording this live because I can't really, you know, work around my own emotional needs. But, yeah, basically,

like, it's so boring. Like, there's no reason to explain it, but, like, there's, the lighting in

this room is not working properly. So it's a little darker than I like it to be.

I usually am not that specific with my needs, but I have this like childhood recurring nightmare where I'm in a room and I go to turn the lights on and they don't work.

And has anyone else had that?

I need to know because it's something that I've had it a lot.

It's so, it's like the scariest thing in the world when it happens.

It always, it's, I'm usually in like my childhood bedroom and I just can't get the lights on.

And I'm like, am I that afraid of the dark that that is like this really scary thing?

Anyway, so like dim rooms, even though I know they're like a mood, I need lights.

I need bright.

Anyways, welcome back to my pleasure.

Love starting off the first two minutes with complaints.

Welcome.

I'm like all flustered.
