The night may be long and the dark may be deep, but the answers are there to be found.

Whether it's the normal, the abnormal, or the paranormal, you're in the right place.

Let's go beyond reality.

We've got a great show lined up.

As we always do, tonight we're going to be talking about crampus with author and

podcaster Al Ridenauer. Al has written a book called The Crampus and the Old Dark Christmas.

Now most of us know the Crampus legend because of Hollywood. There's a movie out. I think it was

like three years ago. Maybe longer. I'm not even sure. It was called The Crampus, I believe.

And it was basically a horror

movie, a Christmastime horror movie. And it portrayed a demon-like creature called the crampus. And that

creature itself is from German folklore and legend and has quite a place in German tradition. And

we're going to learn all about that with Al Ridenauer tonight.

Tomorrow night, we will have a best-of program for you, as we will on Thanksgiving

night, Thursday as well.

And then, of course, every Friday we do.

So a couple nights in a row here of best-of programs before we get back to you next week with

live shows.

By the way, Jason, not with us tonight.

He's still with his father and trying to spend time with him.

And we don't know what the prognosis is here at this point,

but we all are sending love and prayers to him.

Of course, we really, really hope for a recovery.
