0:00.0	Hello, double threat listeners.
0:05.8	This is your friend slash enemy producer, Brett.
0:08.1	And before we get started with today's episode, I just wanted to tell you a little story.
0:13.3	In October of 2020, I tried to book John Cassier, the voice of the crypt keeper from Tales
0:17.8	from the Crypt, for our Halloween episode.
0:20.3	I didn't get a response by email, so I paid $10 on cameo to send him a direct message,
0:26.2	which he did respond to, and very nicely said,
0:28.8	I'm so sorry, I can't, this is my busiest time of the year, I'm fully booked.
0:32.8	I then spent another $10 on cameo, that's $20 in total, to say no problem, I totally get it.
0:38.1	Thank you for your response.
0:40.0	But that was not the end of Double Threat's relationship with John Cassier and the crypt keeper.
0:43.6	It was only the beginning.
0:45.1	Over the last 12 months, the crypt keeper has become an essential part of this podcast.
0:49.2	Tom and Julie talk about him all the time, there's at least one episode named after him.
0:53.1	He made an appearance in several of your erotic fanfiction submissions,
0:56.8	and meanwhile, that whole time, I've been waiting, waiting in the shadows to try and book John Cassier again.
1:03.0	I was determined to not make the same mistake again this year for Halloween that I made last year,
1:07.3	so I sent out my request a well in advance, I waited patiently, I followed up,
1:12.1	I provided multiple day and time options, and sure enough, about a week ago,
1:17.0	I received an email that contained the sweetest word that a producer can ever read in an email confirmed.
1:23.2	That's all you need to know for today's episode, because that's all we knew when we recorded it.
1:28.5	Enjoy!
