Summary
A slick con man has swindled people in a land-deal scheme, and they plan to hang him for his misdeeds. At the last moment, his guardian angel intervenes to save him. She stipulates that he must reform and “go straight,” though she also asks him to carry out one more con — presumably to help right the wrongs he’s done.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, weirdos. Just wanted to let you know that on the Weird Darkness YouTube channel recently, we've been having fun doing a live chat each weeknight at 10.30 p.m. Central Time. I set up the YouTube channel to premiere a video at that time, usually the podcast episode for the day, and then during the premiere, we all hang out in the YouTube live chat. Even if you've already heard that day's episode here in the podcast, you're |
| 0:21.2 | still welcome to join us for the YouTube chat. It's every weeknight at 10.30 p.m. Central |
| 0:26.0 | time. And sometimes I do it over the weekends, too, because I have no social life whatsoever. |
| 0:31.6 | You can find my channel at weirddarkness.com slash YouTube. That's weirddarkness.com |
| 0:36.3 | slash YouTube. Hi. I'markness.com slash YouTube. |
| 0:38.4 | Hi. I'm Darren Marler, host of the Weird Darkness podcast. I'd like to talk to you |
| 0:45.2 | about something that's very near and dear to my heart, my career. We've had a great run |
| 0:52.2 | with Weird Darkness, and this October we'll celebrate 10 years doing this show. |
| 0:57.9 | Ten years. |
| 0:59.7 | We've had great reviews, a great response from amazing listeners like you, but unfortunately now, |
| 1:07.7 | we're not as well known as we could be. |
| 1:10.7 | What that means is that I won't be able to win |
| 1:13.5 | meaningless and irrelevant podcast awards. I won't be able to humble brag on newly acquired |
| 1:19.6 | accolades and magazine article interviews. I won't reach one million subscribers. And who wants to live in a world like that? Did you know that |
| 1:31.2 | for the price of a single bag of weird dark roast coffee in a weird darkness mug, |
| 1:36.6 | or the price of clothing yourself with a weird darkness t-shirt or hoodie, that you can |
| 1:41.6 | help me buy 0.01% of an ad on Google? |
| 1:46.1 | It's true, and it's just that easy. |
| 1:50.2 | Share the podcast. Get involved. |
| 1:53.3 | Your small act of sharing with only 10, 20, or even 50,000 friends and loved ones |
| 2:00.1 | can bring this podcast to literally tens of people. |
| 2:05.4 | Isn't that what's most important in this world? |
