Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Hey there, Danny here, host offive Random Questions. This episode's
a little different. No guest,no random questions. This time, just
me talking directly to you.Hopefully, if you've been listening
to the show for a while, thequestions, the guests, and the random
answers have brought a smileto your face. That's always been
my hope with five RandomQuestions, that it gives you moments

(00:23):
of curiosity, laughter, andmaybe even a bit of warmth. But as
much as this show is about funand entertainment, it's also made
by a human being, Me. And thathuman being knows the world can feel
a little dark sometimes,especially right now. While I hope
the show brings a bit of lightto your day, I also know what it's
like when things feel heavy,when you're struggling, when the

(00:45):
idea of being okay feelsreally far away. I've had my share
of these moments with my ownmental health journey, and I know
what that wait can feel like.So if you're listening and the world's
bee getting you down lately,I just want you to know you're not
alone, truly. And if you everneed someone to talk to, even if
it's just to say hi or toshare how you're doing, I'm always
just an email away or you canfind me online. I'm always happy

(01:08):
to listen - because behindthe mic, behind the random questions,
is a person who cares aboutthe people who make the show possible.
You. And if you do need help,you'll find some mental health and
support resources in the shownotes if you ever need them. So take
care of yourself, be gentlewith yourself, and remember, the
world's a little brighterbecause you're in it. I'll see you

(01:31):

and hopefully a few moresmiles. Until the next time, take
care and keep asking those questions.
