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.

Welcome to the show and welcome to a Monday.

Great to have everybody here as the nation.

Good parts of it anyway are dealing with the severity of winter

over the weekend, including us here, you know, but we're used to it, kind of, because winter is

severe from start to finish. And when I say start, I mean the end of October. And when I say

finish, I mean sometime in April. That's what winters in the northeast upstate New York are like. And tonight

we're going to be hit with like two feet of snow, they're saying. And that'll just go on the piles

that are already out there because they're deep. The sidewalk, you know, you're walking down

the sidewalks and the banks, snow banks are, you know, hip high already. And we're not Alaska.

We're just upstate New York.

But, man, you know, winter's tough.

I keep looking south and thinking, wow, that's the thing to do.

But, you know, you have your roots someplace.

It makes it a little difficult to do anything about that.

Anyway, I hope you're all staying safe and warm.

I know there are a lot of people in Texas

that aren't able to stay warm. Texas got hit particularly hard with this storm because of,

you know, they're south, far enough south that a lot of this turns to ice instead of just

remaining snow. And what it has done is very scary, but it's very appropriate for the conversation we're about to have tonight.
