In this snarky (yet sincere) solo episode, Alex takes aim at two of the most well-meaning yet mildly maddening phrases circulating in our daily lives: “Welcome in” and “Perfect.” From awkward customer service greetings to the linguistic inflation of superlatives, it's a light-hearted exploration of how our words shape expectations—and what we might be losing in the pursuit of flawless interaction.We're not canceling kindness here, just calling for a little variety—and maybe a moment of reflection before we hand out another “perfect” for that black coffee.

Alex shares personal anecdotes and real-life examples illustrating the theme that good intentions often lead to unexpected and ungrateful consequences. Through stories from his student government days and various historical examples, he reflects on the challenges faced by those who try to do good in the world, emphasizing the importance of perseverance despite the potential for backlash.So, do your good deed for the day and listen in!CONNECT:​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All the Fits That's News on Substack (Free or Paid)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alex's Author Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mysterious Goings On website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Alex about advertising/sponsorship here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy a Book!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Going to Killing City...Alex's true Crime Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Announcer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mary McKenna⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
