In this can’t-miss episode, Mike and Glenn sit down for an open, personal conversation about stepping away for a sabbatical. They share the reasons behind the pause, what lies ahead, and why they’re…
So, Mikey, why don't you just tell us a little bit about what's going on, and then we'll just chat about kind of what our strategy is for the next handful of weeks.
All right, good, good.
So, Mikey's got to take a little medical sabbatical.
It's more than a procedure, but it's less than a head replacement.
Okay.
So I'll be taking a little time off.
I've got a little operation.
They're going to go in.
They're going to button it up.
They're going to do what they need to do.
But it's going to be a couple weeks in the hospital and then a little bit of rehab after that.
Depends on how my body responds.
But we might be out of the loop for the next couple of weeks, Glenn.
Yeah, so a couple things here.
I mean, that sounds serious.
It is serious, right? So you kind of glossed over it, but it's some serious stuff.
So Mike is going to be in the hospital for about two weeks-ish.
Some of this is still up in the air.
And then it'd probably take him 20 or 30 minutes to get back on his feet.
So a couple of things here, a couple of housekeeping items, one housekeeping item.
If you care for Mikey and want to send him some love, you can send an email to podcast at sober.coffee. That's how you hit the show, right? So that's open, always available.
Next is for those that choose to pray, I understand they don't cost a lot of money, right? And Smiley Mikey, Sober.Coffee, welcoming all prayers.
Absolutely.
