TLP #18: Can't Understand Nathen's Trade

Attached is THE LOUDEST PODCAST #18! And here's some news:

-- On Monday, we taped THE LOUDEST PODCAST Presents: CRISTORY, Part 1   

-- Ep #1 will go out free to all, rest will be exclusive to YOU FINE PATRE-O'S  

-- This WILL be a very long series because...he is...insane.  We're thinking about it like a limited series, like "Serial" but crazier.

-- Been talkin to Mumkey a lot over the phone, thank God. I know phone calls are hard for zoomers.   

-- My advice to him a month ago was: take a break from the internet for a sec. Move near your parents for a bit, find doctors you like, get stable, and we'll make BvZ when you're good.

-- But bless the kid, he wanted to start taping again right away. I was actually the busy one, I couldn't tape for two weeks. but we were finally gonna tape on Tuesday. 

-- Then some more shit happened in the guy's life -- some video dropped about him -- and we didn't tape that night. Didn't feel like a very funny night.

-- I think Mumkey is finally ready to take the advice I gave him a month ago, and take a lil' break from the internet, which is, like...  

-- ...being on the internet is like having your head in the oven. It's like being a lobster in a pot of boiling water. You don't know it's hurting you until it's too late.

-- But we'll see what he ends up doing. "Get off the internet and find a little stability" is just my advice to him.

-- He's his own man and he's gonna do things his way, and I'm gonna try and be there to support him.

-- I know i'm not alone in wanting this kid to find stability + prioritize mental health over a podcast where we talk about how Archie fucked Fortnite.  

-- Personally, it's hard for me to be funny when I'm just worrying about this kid.  

-- (But then again, have I EVER been funny??)

-- Finally, the day after this shit all went down with him releasing his original video talking about the dark place he was in, Sirancha and I told him: 

-- "Hey, uh, move in with us for a bit and please don't die. We have a very nice leather couch we found on the sidewalk."

-- That's kinda my...biggest priority. just kinda keeping this kid with us. We've got our whole lives to make bottle sniffing videos. But man, you get a bad thought in your head, and you can make a mistake. 

-- So that's that. I'm trying to keep the tour on the tracks because I know people are flying in and bought tickets and shit. 

-- At the very least, I will be doing stand-up, or a one man show on all the dates. And ideally, Mumkey will be at some or all of these shows.

-- Mumkey asked Sirancha to fill in for him on these shows, but we're not sure it'll work out with her schedule. We're talking about it. 

-- Personally, I also don't want people to give her shit about "replacing" Mumkey, so I may just do all these shows solo to save her the hassle.
