  Speaker 1: Welcome to Real Talk with Mike D. Alright, welcome back
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to Real Talk with Mike D. Where we say what
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we mean, we mean what we say. And sometimes, we
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: just need to say what everybody else is thinking. And
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: today we're talking about something that pretty much nobody, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I mean nobody, looks forward to. That's right, Monday. Why
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: do Mondays suck? Seriously. Who decided that after two days
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of freedom, relaxation, sleeping in, doing whatever the hell we want,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we should suddenly wake up Monday morning and pretend we're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: excited to go back to work? I'd like to meet
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that person, because I have some questions. Monday morning is
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: basically the adult version of somebody grabbing you by the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: shoulders and saying, Okay, fun's over. Get your ass back
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to reality. And that's exactly what Monday feels like. You
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: know what's worse than Monday? Sunday night! Because Sunday night
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: is when Monday starts ruining your weekend. You're sitting there
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: watching TV, maybe you're having a beer, maybe you're listening
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to some music, maybe you're watching football, maybe you're just relaxing.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And then you look at the clock and it's 8.30
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and suddenly you remember, oh shit! I have to work tomorrow!
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And just like that, the weekend is over. And you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: start thinking about everything you have to do on Monday.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Setting the alarm. Dealing with traffic. Dealing with people, the emails,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the meetings, their responsibilities. And suddenly that peaceful Sunday evening
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: turns into a psychological preparation session for battle. And you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: know what? I don't want to prepare for battle. I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: want to watch TV. Then Monday morning finally arrives. The
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: alarm goes off. And there's always that moment where you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: open your eyes and think, maybe I can call out.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Then reality kicks in. You look at your bank account. Yep.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Better get up. So you drag yourself out of bed.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You're tired. You're cranky. And you're questioning every decision you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: ever made. And you're standing in the shower thinking, how
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: did I end up here? And then coffee comes. Coffee
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: isn't breakfast on Monday. Coffee is life support. Monday morning
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: coffee isn't something you enjoy. It's medication. It's survival equipment.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It's the thing standing between you and an accidental conversation
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: with another human being. And then you get in your
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: car and somehow everyone else is on the road at
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the same time and they're driving like an idiot. Now
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they're not, but it's Monday. And on Monday,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: everybody drives too slow. The guy in front of you
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: is doing 35 in a 45. Someone's changing lanes without
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: using a turn signal. Someone's riding your bumper. Someone's doing
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: 80 miles an hour like they're late for the fucking
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And you're sitting there thinking, can everybody just
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: calm the hell down? But you're also thinking, can everybody
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: get the hell out of my way? That's Monday. Then
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you finally arrive at work. You walk through the door
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and there's always that one person who says, good morning.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: How was your weekend? Shut up. Really? It's Monday. There's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: nothing good about Monday morning. And then they hit you with,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: did you have a nice weekend? Yeah, I did. It
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: was fantastic. That's why I'm so pissed off that it's Monday.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: The weekend was too short. That's the real problem. We
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: get five days of work and two days of freedom.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Who came up with that shit? Because I think we
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: need to renegotiate. I'd like four days off and three
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: days of work. Hell, I'd even compromise. Four days of work,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: three days off. Let's start there. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that's going to do it for today. That is Mike
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: D's reason why Mondays suck. But anyhow, I hope you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: had a great weekend. I hope you have a great Monday.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And I hope you all enjoyed the day. Make someone smile.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And I will see you all on the next episode. Peace.
