Hello, and thank you so much for joining us once again. It is the Nightly Pleasures podcast. I am your host and the author of the pieces that you're about to hear today, The Grey Knight. You can call me Jack, if that's a little too much for you. You can call me Daddy if you're really into the holiday season, you just want to sway with me. Ooh, probably a little too much at the beginning, especially since I've been out for a while. Well, hello, this is me saying hi, and I'm sorry for my absence in 2021.

It just hit me like a ton of bricks.

But here we are, at the end of it, and Allie has put together a very special episode for us.

It's some of my most special, most fun, most kinky X-Mist stuff.

And I really do hope that you enjoy it.

Before we get into that, I just want to say one more time,

I want to thank all of my supporters and fans out there who said such nice things,

who were just so kind and giving and patient while I took this time

off my longest break ever. I feel, even with everything going on in the world right now,

much stronger, much more healed up, much more capable than I did the last time that you heard

me. And with that, I just wanted to make a quick

announcement that the podcast will be back. The podcast will be back with brand new episodes

in full force on Thursday, January 13th. That's right, brand new episodes for everybody.

Nothing's changing with Patreon and giving them special content as well.

But new podcast, new content coming back on the 13th.

Live shows resuming on January 14th at 10 p.m. Eastern on the server.

I've been missing those a whole, whole whole lot and I finally feel like I have

the energy to commit, really come back and do that. And here's hopefully better than ever,

fingers crossed at least. And I hope you guys feel that way too. Okay, it's time to relax. It's the

end of the year.

It is about a week or so before the clock rolls over.

If you like X-Mus, if you like Christmas, then, of course, you get to get extra cozy and listen to everything that I'm about to give you right here, right now.
