I'll keep this short. We have a Patreon. And lately the amount on that Patreon has gone down.

While income from live shows and merch do obviously help, the Patreon is still the main way that

we make this show and pay all the people involved, both behind the scenes and, you know, in front of

please consider it. It helps the show exist. And we have all sorts of cool rewards, like

Director's Notes on every episode, Zoom Hangs with the Cast and Crew, add free versions of every

an actual citizen of Nightfail. To help us out, go to welcometonightfail.com and click on donate.

Please consider doing that and enjoy the show goodbye.

and it'll be way more professional. Hello listeners. Intern Cecil Palmer here, reporting live for host

Leonard Burton. I'm way excited. I am standing in a vast stretch of desert in which no one

has lived for hundreds of years. Neat, right? But it's not even the needest because some new folks

have moved into the area recently. They look like they're from back east-of-ways. This isn't their

land but they're going to set up here anyway. They're saying this is ours and pointing ludicrously

at actual earth as though that were an onable thing. One of the arrivals, famous screen actor Lee

Marvin, who just turned 30 today, oh hey, happy birthday, Mr. Marvin, said that they were immediately
