Hey, true weirdos, I hope you know how much all of us here appreciate you. You are the people we're making this show for and your feedback means the world to us. We were so blown away for this show to win as many awards as it has. I mean, at this point, we're working for hardware and handouts. But at the end of the day, it's you.

It really helps us in getting discovered. And if you have a suggestion for anything, just reach out to us at our website,

true weird stuff.com. And thank you so much for listening.
