Hey, thanks for tuning in. This is the show before the show. I am Paige Wesley and I am alone, but that's okay because it's only for this week.

Mondo and Andrea are getting some rest and relaxation.

Everyone deserves time off every once in a while,

You can follow them at Horror Virgin.

As always, you can follow us at Cult Podcast.

And I think for that, I'll just say say enjoy the show.
