| 0:00.0 | Hey, weirdos, as we get closer to Halloween and our 10-year anniversary of this podcast, |
| 0:04.8 | I'd love to get your opinions on how I'm doing, what you like, what you don't like, |
| 0:09.2 | what you'd like to see more of, what you'd change if you were in charge, well, you get the idea. |
| 0:14.5 | I have a new Weird Darkness survey on the website so you can send me your opinions, and it's |
| 0:19.0 | completely anonymous, so you can be completely |
| 0:21.4 | honest. This is a new survey, so even if you did give your opinion before, you can do so again, |
| 0:27.0 | and I'd appreciate you doing so. Visit weirddarkness.com slash survey. That's weirddarkness.com |
| 0:33.4 | slash survey. This episode is sponsored by awful movie reviews on YouTube. |
| 0:38.6 | I've been a fan of awful movie reviews for a couple of years now, and I never miss an |

| 1:08.7 | well, you see where I'm going here. They even take |
| 1:11.3 | requests for awful movies you'd like to see them review in the future. You'll probably |
| 1:15.0 | learn about flicks you've never even heard of while laughing along with the host. You can find |
| 1:19.6 | awful movie reviews on YouTube by simply searching for awful movie reviews. I've also placed |
| 1:24.3 | a link to them on my sponsors page so you can find them easily. And if you're like me, at the end of each awful movie review, you'll be saying it aloud |
