0:00.0	You're listening to an Ono Media podcast.
0:02.9	Hey everyone and welcome back to the Into the Dark podcast.
0:06.0	I'm your host, Peyton Morland.
0:07.2	I'm so glad you are here listening.
0:10.2	Again, if you are watching on YouTube, please do all the things.
0:13.3	If you are listening on audio, please, please do all the things.
