it's thursday. the episode was supposed to drop monday. dino has the flu, darius had a fever, and they watched twenty-two hours of lord of the rings extended edition on the couch together which may or may not be romantic depending on how you look at it.

this week's prompt: what are you pretending is fine right now?

the inbox delivered. we've got a woman who's been saying "no worries at all" so many times she whispered it during a nightmare. a listener pretending her marriage is fine who went to a bathroom mirror at a wedding and stayed there a little too long. someone who bought a SaltDrop membership in january and has found seventeen reasons not to go. a woman who got passed over for a promotion that went to a guy named derek who has been there fourteen months. a retired hospital administrator who ran a library fundraiser like a quarterly business review and scared the other volunteers. grief for a dog who was a witness to a whole chapter of someone's life. an airbnb review for a situationship. forty-five minutes of crying in a car followed immediately by "I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU." and a closer from a listener in queens who has been performing grateful for six years and is finally done.

also: rush rush by paula abdul, the violin solo specifically, the italian studio lemon situation, and a cold sweat at 3am.
