To my beloved family, friends and listeners of the What Show,
I'm sitting here alone in my house. No, Lax, my wife has not left me...she's on a business trip to Philadelphia. The silence has affored me some time to reflect on the past week, and I'd like to take this opportunity to address some concerns I've had this past Friday's show.
It's important for me to lead with this. My wife is an incredibly loyal, honest and compassionate woman and I love her dearly. She has been incredibly patient and gracious enough to allow the dirty laundry of our marraige to be aired for public consumption and I'm just now starting to understand what an awesome responsibility and gift that is. We started this show with a simple premise...that marraige can be ugly and beautiful at the same time...precious and funny and hard and worth fighting for. I'd hate for that to be lost in the muck of my selfishness. It's too important.
Many of you know me personally, and hopefully you find me to be a decent guy and good friend. I am that man sometimes...but lately I've just been a twat...and most dissapointing to me, I have been a remarkable bastard to my wife. I've stepped over the line...way too many times...and for that, I apologize to Missy.
My behavior late last night at Mooch and Pixie's celebration party was an embarassment. I was drunk and rotten and I lashed out at those closest to me in the most irrational and inexcusable ways. I'd like to apologize to Mooch and Pixie for that disrespect. I'd like to apologize to Boater for making him feel uncomfortable....to Mark with a C...to Brian and Kathleen for not living by your example of a truly loving and supportive marraige...to Justjon, who I love but maybe take too many liberties with my humor...to Ron & Fez to whom I've made an ass out of myself all month.
I'm very lucky to know you all. You are good people and I'm honored to call you all friends.
To my wife, I will do better. I have to. I love you.
