I'm 14 00:01:33.370 --> 00:01:38.650 sorry. I'm sorry, everybody. Um, you know I I've been podcasting 15 00:01:38.810 --> 00:01:46.370 for a long time. It is very therapeutic for me. It's a creative 16 00:01:46.409 --> 00:01:53.280 release for me and I feel so good when I do this. And some 17 00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:02.390 events have transpired in the last forty eight hours that I I don't, I 18 00:02:02.549 --> 00:02:10.189 mean I I am so thankful that Ariel asked me to join her on this 19 00:02:10.349 --> 00:02:16.500 adventure. It's I met Ariel she came on to Pthree as a guest. 20 00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:24.460 I absolutely adored her and in December she came to me and asked if I 21 00:02:24.539 --> 00:02:29.699 would be interested in doing a podcast with her. Absolutely I was thrilled that 22 00:02:29.819 --> 00:02:34.569 she even thought of me, knowing that she knows so many podcasters and she 23 00:02:34.729 --> 00:02:38.370 picked me and she had she had a name in mind and she had a 24 00:02:38.409 --> 00:02:42.610 jet, a basic premise. It was, of course, the name was 25 00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:50.599 down to folk and it was going to be telling of folklore and kind of 26 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.840 the you know, dig into the the legends and and and whatnot behind folklore, 27 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.069 and I ran with it. Some evidently think I ran too far with 28 00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:12.229 it, and it's I was reading some messages and some comments that came through, 29 00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:23.580 some emails, and we've gotten a lot of negative feedback about the show 30 00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:35.810 lately and it's it's upsetting to me because this was aerials baby and ninety nine 31 00:03:36.250 --> 00:03:40.289 point nine percent of the negative feedback that we're getting is all directed at me, 32 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.840 my ideas, my direction that I've taken this show and I you know, 33 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.080 I put a lot of work into this. I put a lot of 34 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.080 money into this. We don't make anything right now off of this podcast, 35 00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:00.430 and I mean I'm paying for you to listen. Essentially, it's upsetting. 36 00:04:00.949 --> 00:04:05.750 It's very, very upsetting and it's very you know it. It takes the 37 00:04:05.830 --> 00:04:12.939 window of your cells when you put so much time and effort and thought creativity 38 00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:23.060 to make a product like this and to have people just not appreciate what you 39 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:29.649 do and just talk bad about what you've done. And it's it's upsetting to 40 00:04:29.730 --> 00:04:36.689 me and and I I apologize, but I can't continue on like this and 41 00:04:36.810 --> 00:04:42.279 I can't. I'm not going to. I won't ruin her idea any further. 42 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.399 So I guess that's it. So thanks everybody for listening. I'm sure 43 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:54.829 Ariel will take this into wonderful places, but I don't think I'm a good 44 00:04:54.910 --> 00:05:00.589 fit to be here and I'm sorry, but I am I'm I'm leaving. 45 00:05:00.670 --> 00:05:04.069 I'm leaving the show, all right. So so thank you everybody for listening 46 00:05:04.149 --> 00:05:15.420 and Ariel, good luck, but I'm done. That's it.

It's it was it was gaining momentum 96 00:11:11.610 --> 00:11:15.210 quickly and then I guess I should have noticed that the numbers were dropping when 97 00:11:15.210 --> 00:11:20.879 I started getting crazy with some of the bits I was doing. And but 98 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.879 just reading the comments lately, it's been really, really hard on me and 99 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:30.840 it's been it's been a tough it's been a tough couple of days and I 100 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:37.029 really can't think the people that like the show.

I 163 00:18:29.779 --> 00:18:34.220 will not be back anymore and we're just going to carry on with our lives 164 00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:37.259 and you guys are still going to have down to folk come in your way. 165 00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:42.529 Ariels taken over everything, and I'm just going to go back to pthree 166 00:18:42.609 --> 00:18:53.690 show and do what I do over there, and you guys can do once 167 00:18:53.769 --> 00:18:59.880 upon a time, many moons ago, there was a seasoned podcaster named that 168 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.000 who had fallen on hard times. It had really only been a matter two 169 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.759 days, but he was apparently kind of a special snow flake and got but 170 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.549 heard about some lack luster feedback. He was tremendously good at what he did. 171 00:19:14.470 --> 00:19:17.990 Well, I guess not that good, since the shit reviews were about 172 00:19:18.029 --> 00:19:23.150 him, but I digress. One day like any other, he sat down 173 00:19:23.190 --> 00:19:27.099 in the studio to record his newest tale, but cut off the according to 174 00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:33.140 go live when he simply couldn't stop cocking it up. Typical Fad. He 175 00:19:33.259 --> 00:19:37.500 then took the easy road and unceremoniously quit the show. On here, the 176 00:19:37.569 --> 00:19:42.250 show's producer, Chloyd, wasn't listening. To be honest. He hated that 177 00:19:44.690 --> 00:19:48.289 his co host Muriel wasn't listening either, but that's just because she always waited 178 00:19:48.450 --> 00:19:52.799 to listen to the final recording, and so she was none the wiser that 179 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:57.079 he had bitched out and not talked to her before baling on her on air. 180 00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.799 Not that she was resentful. She was a bigger person than that dad, 181 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:08.190 but the failure of a podcaster discovered things were not going according to plan. 182 00:20:10.349 --> 00:20:14.349 The door to the studio was locked, at least he thought it was. 183 00:20:15.470 --> 00:20:18.069 He felt trapped and began to plead for help over the air to help 184 00:20:18.069 --> 00:20:22.900 him escape the tortuous place he had come to loathe. Don't be mull dramatic 185 00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:27.380 or anything. Unexpectedly, an intern, a sweet man named you know, 186 00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:30.900 entered the room, Yada, Yada, and either of the folds could figure 187 00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:33.980 out the door wasn't actually locked and, like fucking Dorothy, he could have 188 00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:40.089 left whenever he wanted. He'd always had the power and frankly, I'm surprised 189 00:20:40.130 --> 00:20:44.210 he didn't try licking his heels. What a Dick. But then, do 190 00:20:44.250 --> 00:20:47.009 you know, got the brilliant idea to blow the lock to the door. 191 00:20:48.009 --> 00:20:52.759 It worked. The door wasn't just open, it was gone. But do 192 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.559 you know, was unprepared for the mysterious and horrifying scene within. He frantically 193 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:02.920 called Cloyd who then called Muriel and the two rush to the scene. Well, 194 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.430 Muriel rushed, Floyd took a leisurely stroll as he was in no hurry 195 00:21:07.470 --> 00:21:12.829 to deal with that's bullshit. He simply couldn't be arst Muriel was weeping uncontrollably 196 00:21:14.029 --> 00:21:21.099 when he arrived. He simply muttered called womblet. The room where her cohost 197 00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:29.460 had been looked like absolute carnage. Blood and bone debris was everywhere, everywhere 198 00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:36.369 where. It spread quickly and the interns flotched to the scene look elw disrespectful 199 00:21:36.410 --> 00:21:41.690 as bitches. They murmured amongst themselves, wondering what could have possibly happened. 200 00:21:41.730 --> 00:21:45.690 That had been in the room alone. From the back of the crowd they 201 00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:51.559 heard the clearing of a throat. An intern who used to be a semi 202 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:56.440 humble farmer spoke. It was the WINDIGO I reckon. Everyone filed away with 203 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:04.190 sad knowing nods, everyone but arial or Muriel and chloyd. Why this? 204 00:22:06.589 --> 00:22:11.190 Why did this happened? A young woman sputtered through tears. He was quitting 205 00:22:11.349 --> 00:22:18.500 the show. Muriel's face showed the slow spark of realization that I or she 206 00:22:19.140 --> 00:22:25.259 had been abandoned. Her tears shifted from those of grief to those of rage. 207 00:22:26.140 --> 00:22:29.940 She grabbed a tire iron and began to roar, battering the equipment as 208 00:22:30.009 --> 00:22:34.130 well as her former co host, already obliterated body. You motherfucker, she 209 00:22:34.289 --> 00:22:40.250 screamed. where she got that tire iron is still a mystery. It's not 210 00:22:40.450 --> 00:22:45.440 like it was laying around a podcast recording studio. And so ends a tale 211 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.880 of loss and betrayal. And to this day some claim you can still see 212 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:56.000 the ghost of Muriel in that studio bashing that things with rage. But it 213 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:06.230 isn't true. She's not dead, that's just Muriel. She's like megapist piece 214 00:23:06.269 --> 00:23:15.099 of Shit. I apologize for Mr Warrington's absence, but it seems there was 215 00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:18.980 a city sation in the main building that needs his attention, so allow me 216 00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:25.420 to proceed with this week's transmission wrap up.
