**Rafe** (1:59)
Hey!

**Moon** (2:02)
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, it is me on Mic One because Rizz is going to take one more day off and then he'll be back tomorrow. But everything's cool. Everything's cool. How's everybody feeling today?

**Lern** (2:12)
Uh, you know.

**Moon** (2:14)
Like a Thursday?

**Lern** (2:15)
I woke up and I was like, I'm ready for this today.

**Moon** (2:19)
You feel good?

**Lern** (2:19)
I do. Like normally Thursday, we've talked about this before. It's kind of like a bummer day.

**Moon** (2:24)
That's your least favorite day, right?

**Lern** (2:25)
Yeah, because, well, my least favorite day is Tuesday. But haven't you talked about how Thursdays are like?

**Moon** (2:31)
No consolation.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:31)
Yes.

**Moon** (2:32)
Not weekend, not not midweek.

**Lern** (2:35)
One more day to go.

**Moon** (2:36)
You drain from four nights and not sleeping. Yeah.

**Rafe** (2:38)
Yeah.
It's my heavy workload day. I always dread it. Yeah.

**Lern** (2:42)
Thursdays are mine.

**Rafe** (2:43)
I have to prep way more for the Friday show than any other. So I'm always like, Oh, God, I put it off again.
I'm going to write the e-memoriam throughout the week. And then it's Thursday and I'm like, what did we talk about this week? And then I'm up until midnight like a like Matthew McConaughey smoking cigarettes, trying to write jokes that you played anyway.

**Lern** (3:02)
That's actually how I imagine you at your house. Like you don't smoke ever except for on Thursdays and Friday morning naked on a stool next to the bongos.

**Rafe** (3:11)
Yeah.

**Lern** (3:11)
Yeah.

**Rafe** (3:12)
It's not a cigarette. It's just a Swiss roll. A Swiss cake roll? Little Debbie?

**Lern** (3:17)
By the way, I was listening to The HoneyDew podcast as I cleaned my house last night or yesterday. It was really good. And you've been promoting it all this week at the end of the show and everybody should go listen to it because I got to know you in an even deeper way than I normally do. We've been shacked up in this freaking soundproof room for three years.

**Rafe** (3:36)
So we've been friends for what feels like 20 years.

**Lern** (3:40)
Yeah, no, it was really good.

**Rafe** (3:42)
Yeah. It's an interesting podcast because you take childhood trauma or you take it's, you know, the whole point of the podcast is taking a life slow lights and making them highlights, trying to find levity and dark moments. So it can be cathartic. I've got a lot of really good messages from folks who are like, hey, man, this is like, I didn't know I needed this, but I went through similar things in my childhood. And Ryan Sick was a great one man audience for that because he brings he's got an infectious laugh. I think Bert Kreischer stole his laugh. And but it was cool.
