Hello, friends. Again, we'll keep this brief. As of the eighth, the GoFundMe campaign is near an 80% of the $10,000 goal.

Last week, a few people asked what exactly is this for, so here's the gist.

Slowdowns everywhere caused payroll to exceed revenue and left us deep in the red. On top of that, our boss, who is

struggling not to lay anyone off, is going through some hard times. What you're doing by donating

is helping to ensure that all we narrators, authors, producers, and other behind-the-scenes folks

get to continue bringing you the entertainment you enjoy.

We'll come out on the other end of this eventually, hopefully with minimal damage.

In the meantime, your help is genuinely appreciated.

You can link to the GoFundMe page by visiting helpchilling.org.

All capitals, H-E-L-L-I-H-I-L-I-N-G.org. Welcome back, friend. We're in the thick of September here, bound for the spooky season.

Moreover, we've got some holidays for you. It's National Bald as Beautiful Day, which Jeff is pretty happy about.

Be sure to tell him how gorgeous he is with that big beautiful Q-ball head.

And more importantly, it's National Hug Your Boss Day.

Normally I don't think that's always such a good idea, especially with the bosses I've had.

But since I'm essentially self-employed, I guess you already know how I'm going to celebrate.

Whoa, down boy. I'm not your boss. your damn meal ticket well let's head in

friend unless you want leeches in your shirt pockets
