It’s a case we prefer not to carry.

Mondays are tough, with no easy way of transitioning from the relaxing nature of the weekend to the early start of the busy workweek. If we could simply wave goodbye to Monday, that would be ideal, wouldn’t it?

Seems easy enough.

Except, just when you think the case of the Mondays is gone and everything is better, this unrelenting force of surprising necessity reappears next to the piano player in your rec room.

Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling, continuing their unconventional (yet highly-entertaining and effective) promotion for The Nice Guys, sat down for an interview with Stephen Colbert on the Late Show on CBS. Their segment demonstrated that sometimes we need the things we push away the hardest. Without Monday, there would be no “Happy Monday!” courtesy of Jimmy’s Daily Planet to make the jump back to work more fun, inspiring and, above all else, a little easier.

Monday, please come back around (but only on the once-a-week schedule).

Have a Very Nice, Happy Monday!

P.S. The Nice Guys arrives in theaters this Friday, May 20th.
