Oh boy.  So, like I said on Twitter, I hoped to do a show last Thursday, I got set up to start recording, and it hit me like a sledgehammer that I was not physically ready and was going to need some recovery time.  I don't want to get too much into the details, but in short, I'm entering a program that will get me off the stuff I'm taking, and until I can get that program started (sometime in the next couple weeks), shit is going to be rough physically.

I'm truly sorry; there's a show I've wanted to do for weeks and weeks now, and shit just keeps happening, and if I did it now, I would make a fucking mess of it and either a) ruin it entirely or b) have to do it twice.  

I'm going to get back to doing the show as soon as possible – hopefully 12 days, or however you count 2 weeks from this last Thursday – in part because not doing it is slowly driving me insane ("slowly"), and partly because I really, really want to thank everybody who's stuck with me during this disastrous year.  I have been a lonely person for my entire life, and I had no idea, none at all, that so many people believed in what I'm trying to do.

Thank you,

MSJ

You'll get through this man.

We love our beautiful Michael don’t we folks!

I'm sitting in an Indian restaurant with the painful shits and feel like I'm about to breakdown on multiple levels. Can only imagine what you're going through. Much love.

Trevor

All Good Mate stuff will get better soon enough Cheers 👍

Ian Harrison

❤️❤️❤️ hope you feel better soon. so so so grateful for you and your work

Your work is worth waiting for! We love you (no hetero) and can tell how much you love the show, nobody (outside of your head) thinks you’re shirking your responsibilities. It’s trite, but you gotta get your own oxygen mask properly situated before you can help the rest of us.

Sending regionally acceptable acts of physical male contact from Australia. In the meantime, muchos strength to your white knuckles.

Take all the time you need, king

dimdimKing

Chin up, man! So many of your ideas continue to float around in my head throughout the day, I'm continually shuffling through the back catalogue. Funnily enough, I've just gone through a wisdom tooth extraction that resulted in impacted teeth and dry socket, it all fucking sucks.

Henry Haller

We love you, take all the time you need.

Anton Gyula

There's no pressure. Please take all the time you need to be physically and mentally ready. I don't know if I can speak for all of your listeners, but I'm sure that most of us aren't here expecting to be drip-fed "content" on some fixed schedule. So no worries. Really. Get well, at whatever pace you can manage. I don't know how to properly express how meaningful your work has been to me and that my support is pretty much unconditional. Much love from Belgium.

Oh no, love, you’re not alone. Take your time and take care of yourself. We’ll be here.

David Bond

The only thing that matters here is your health, get well soon!

No apologies called for. Stay strong and get yerself well. We're not going anywhere. See ya on the other side of this. FWIW, re the whole 'paying for a product' thing, to the extent I think in those terms at all (which is very little) I view it as what they call in my biz a retainer, rather than a more defined form of exchange of money for product. And exchange value is all bullshit anyway.

Zac

Love you man

bernard31

all love brother. get well.

FactHater

Get well soon man! I/we greatly appreciate the light you cast through the darkness of these times.

Gianteye

I feel you. I got into this because I wanted to help you make your art not because I wanted content cranked through me like a sausage stuffer. You take care of you.

John McElroy

Just know this my friend, there is only one authentic you (not getting into the symphony of ideas, neurons and emotions that inform your worldview), and so - we all have connected with your voice, your perspective and how you choose to unleash it. What I’m trying to say rather inarticulately is that it is enjoyable to be there for you in a small way that has meaning for you when you have been doing the very same thing for us for a long time - would have never read Gravity’s Rainbow 🌈 if it wasn’t for you or wouldn’t have spent much time on JFK or 4th Reich if you hadn’t been so inspired - remember we are in this together Brocephus! 👍🏼❤️

Ted B

You're an all time great, take all the time you need

Dan Leyendecker

Mike I finally had someone random bring up your work to me and they were so excited to share it. I feel like I made an instant friend. You take your time and we’ll be here.

Nic Bodiford

Treat it like a vacation and enjoy yourself!

Nina Marie

Good luck Michael. I’m in an inpatient program right now where among other things I’m tapering off some meds I’ve been struggling to get off for a while, and the stable clinic environment makes a big difference. I hope it will be a good experience for you.

Parahomie

Please take care of yourself man. We will be hear when you're back on your feet. Looking forward to it.

Shiv

We’ll be here whenever you’re back. Support and solidarity at all times! 🥰

frybreadandjam

Love and solidarity. Take the time you need.

Bryce Balden

Love you so much man. ✊ your work means so much to me.

Divad Kong

Now you just steady them horses, have yourself some of that Good Sioux city sarsaparilla, lay back, relax, and don't be fretting about a thing now, ya hear.

c. wrong mills

Hopefully this new program is what you need. We’re all here for you and inspired by you man!

Kevin Lipe

Hang in there and get some rest. I became a patron a couple years ago while you were on a hiatus and unsure you'd ever come back--to me, the money is a way to show my appreciation for the work you've already done, and every new episode is a nice little bonus. You deserve all the support you can get.

Dustin Balloun

we'll all be here whenever you feel well enough for the show, don't rush your recovery xoxo

Jack Dulaney

Stay strong, Michael. You’re a GOAT podcaster, the delay is nothing. US empire is a long and steady decline. We will wait for you as long as you need as you steward us through its shadows

Smizmar

Best wishes and all the love to you. You got this.

Court Hansen

stay safe and take your time buddy.

cinchal

I've been giggling thinking about how funny it would be if this temporarily became a text-to-speech podcast of brief dispatches like this sounding like Stephen Hawking. All the love & support to you

Christopher Chapheau

good luck over the next two weeks, hope it's not as much of a kick to the dick as expected. Sincerely, a new and very big admirer of the shit you do.

Sandy

Keep it up man

Andrew

We fucking love you! Dude honestly this will just give me a chance to catch up on your material.

white gucci mane

Tony

MJ!🙌🏼 MJ! 🙌🏼MJ! 🙌🏼

JeffryDeadstein

Please take as much time as you need, your health is the most important thing at play here! Take care of yourself!

Billy

While I'm definitely looking forward to more of your stuff, you need to mend. Honestly just glad you're still among the living (more or less). Much love to you, MJ

uya

Alexey Bonca

You got this man - much love <3

Brook Hines

we love you, man. we’re here for you. touch base whenever—we’ll still have your back. even feeling awful you nailed the moment as it is ‘madness and its desires’ [dressed as reason]. yeah, 100%.
