Nice to see you Rob Am I sprat? Hey, it's one of my patrons. Thanks for joining me. I appreciate it So, okay. Well, this is the live Q&A. So you guys can actually ask me anything you want We can talk about anything you want to do. You want to talk about So Jean Jean Beverly says, where do you get your stories? That's a great. It's a great way to get started Obviously, you're referring to weird darkness. I get my stories from a lot of places I I jump online and there are probably 10 15 different websites that I check out Plus, of course, there is you my weirdos You know at weirddarkness.com. There's a there's a form there that you can fill out and Send me your own stories and I would love to do that more often. My goal would be to make weird darkness 75% your stories and then I just use the rest of spiller. That would be really nice But we're working towards that. We've only been doing this now for a couple of years and really we've only Been pushing weird darkness as a podcast for only the last six months So we're still fairly new. We're still pretty young But but we're out. We're on the right track. So I appreciate that question So are you going gonna keep doing facts verse As long as they pay me absolutely, I love I love narrating over facts first I'm not I'm not the owner of that channel in case In case anybody was wondering about that a lot of people will email me or contact me On Facebook or something and say hey, would you do a video on such and such? And I I don't own the channel. I don't write the scripts So all I all I do is narrate what they send me and send it back to them I will throw me in my my own personality once in a while, but and sometimes I have to correct the the The grammar because I'm pretty sure that some of the people that write the scripts over there Sorry Some I think some of the people that write the scripts don't speak English as their first language They do a pretty good job, but you know, there's the American ear. You can tell there's a difference So being called weirds a big compliment. Yes, Alexis and Alexis says me a lot of stuff, too By the way, I love that she she actually goes online and looks for stuff to send me It's not even hers. How did I learn how to read out loud so well? And then how did I start narrating on YouTube? Okay? I'll answer the second one first because it's a lot simpler. I started narrating on YouTube because I had my own channel I've been a radio personality since 1990 and I started doing the daily dose of weird news and That's how it started on YouTube. Then I guess just people were subscribed to the channel And they heard me and said, hey, would you narrate my channel? That's pretty much how it started I did start reaching out to other channels and say would you be interested in having a narrator and that's helped a couple of times But I think facts first actually approached me, which is which is pretty cool. So what was that another question? How did I learn to read out loud so well, that's what I'm asked practice that Well, it's I've been a public speaking Pretty much all my life I've been an entertainer in some way shape or form for as long as I can remember I sit way back in grade school. I was on stage doing something or other either singing or acting I did stand-up comedy for a while and English has always been something that I've been fairly good at So it kind of all just worked. It's kind of worked all together and then when I got into radio in 1990 You got me. You're doing so much talking On a regular basis and you have to keep talking even if you have nothing to say you just kind of learn to do it But I but I appreciate the compliment though. That's the first time anybody's made that particular comment. I appreciate that So let me move down here your personalities. What makes the story is awesome. Thank you, Jean. I appreciate that that guy They had oh you're talking about the other narrator on facts first. Actually, I think he was great I think he did a good job. He's we were just we're two completely different personalities And I think it's just the people don't like change in general. I think that's the thing Is Edgar Allen Bones hiding somewhere? Yes Yes, here he is Edgar Allen bones There he is Edgar Allen bones He was a Halloween decoration and I liked him so much. I brought him in here. We actually had him outside During during trick-or-treating he was sitting down and he had his head hand up like this What are the little trick-or-treaters little kid about maybe three years old thought that Edgar was trying to give him a high five So he kept to going He's skeleton. He's a high five here. I wish we have a camera to catch that it was hilarious Unfortunately, we didn't so I wonder what if we can keep him up here so you can see him We moved him because he fell down. He's not he's not holding himself up very well And I don't know why so we'll keep right there for now so yes In fact Edgar Allen bones is going to be going on tour with me when we go to all these different events the comic-cons and the film Film festivals and stuff He's gonna come with us. So What got me into voice acting? Kind of the same kind of the same answer as before that's that's one by the way. Thanks for the question one Said being an actor all my life It really just kind of fell into it Being an actor you're sort of a voice actor at the same time But it's a little bit different animal because as a voice actor You can't use facial expressions or anything to bring the emotion now We do use facial expressions while we're voicing Because it helps to bring the emotion out in the voice But you can't rely on the face in order to express stuff So, you know, you do have to use the voice for all of that, but I actually looked up Audio theater groups. I've been a big fan of old-time radio, which you might be able to tell from where darkness It's sort of has that feel to it but I love old-time radio shows like X minus one or the whistler and I found out that there are groups out there today That continue to make their own audio theater. So I approached a couple of them and asked hey Are you looking for more voice actors? I'll do it for free. And of course they said well sure Because you're the right price And that's kind of how I got started a few years ago. There's one show that I still do for free It's at Eric Busby presents.com. I think that's where you where you go And it's it's a it's a great show I'm having a brain fart at the moment and I'll tell you the I'll tell you the The name of the show here a little bit, but I play I play Santa Claus, and I play an evil Santa Claus Santa Claus is a mass murderer and this in this show. It's a very it's a very paranormal show Anyway, if you go to Eric Busby presents, though, you'll find it there. So All that sounds cute is what kitty says I'm guessing you're talking about Edgar Allen bones Good voice work with lifelines. I'm well. Thank you. Wow somebody who actually remembers lifelines That was a Christian show that I used to do sort of like a verse of the day type of thing And I just I ran out of time doing it. It didn't didn't take off It's nice to know that somebody actually remembers that that's great How old am I not to be rude, but we can't figure it out Okay, Adam, I don't mind telling you I'm I'm 49 years old this coming November. I'll be 50 which is really hard to believe I Looked older when I had the beard that was longer my bride says that after I've shaved it I actually look a little bit younger And I'm also fat so that pushes out the wrinkles So that could be why I look a little bit younger than 49 But the gray is coming in quickly you can see the white in the grill Actually, I'm not even turning gray. I'm turning white Because I'm a redhead and so we just go straight to bleach white when we get old So I will be looking like Santa Claus here in the very near future When will I be coming to Maryland gene asks? I don't have anything planned yet We are just now starting to look into the comic cons and film festivals and stuff like that And so if there is one in Maryland that pops up We might take a look at it The thing is I don't like to fly it's going to have to be either be a train or a car And Maryland would be a long ways away from Chicago, which is I'm just I'm northwest of Chicago But I don't mind driving. I enjoy being on the road But I don't have anything planned out there in the area just yet that being said if you know of any comic cons or Or film festivals or paranormal conferences stuff like that that are in your area And I'm talking to all of you here Send me a link to those websites or something and I could check them out and maybe put them on the schedule Because we really want to do a lot more of that stuff. In fact I will tell you guys um We are looking to do an actual weird darkness live Tour I don't know how this is going to work Because I've never done weird darkness live. I mean, it's all pre-recorded I do all the voice work and then I put on the music beds and stuff like that But the ad agency that I'm working with now they want to create an actual tour So, uh, we'll see what happens with that. I don't know if there's an action There's a demand enough for it. But uh, if that happens though, Maryland could very well be so worried that we end up So just keep keep watching the weird darkness page and uh my blog and you might be able to get details on that as I get more information Time zones. Okay, Darren. I know you love me. Will you will I dance for you? I don't love anybody that much Okay, hi from a Danish fan. Wow. You know, you're you are all the way across the world. Thank you very much Uh, Alexis is back. Mr. Darren think I want to thank you for your comedy shows It's a very nice change to listen to somebody who does not have to swear to get a laugh. Are you talking about my My daily dose of weird news or are you talking about my actual stand-up comedy that I used to do? I've retired of that off from that But I did you I did that for about 10 years. It was a lot of fun. And yes, I did do clean comedy. That's all I did In fact, I spent a lot of time doing comedy in churches Uh, which is why I had to keep it clean But it also really worked well for uh for corporate stuff, which is where the money was Uh, because they want you to stay clean and politically correct and everything else and uh, it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it um So where can we find picks of? Okay, upcycle creations is uh, asking where can we find picks of you modeling underwear lol just curious though Yeah, I uh for those of you who've not spent any time on my on my website or or twitter or where else Um, I I say that I'm a voice artist and uh an actor or podcast or something like that and a ultra plus-sized male underwear model Just as a joke. So it's nice to know somebody pays attention to that stuff Um, Jacob is how are you Marlar? I'm doing great. Thanks a lot. I appreciate you being here I don't look a day over 42 I'll take that as a compliment Jeans as I look 36. It's the hair that looks 50 I there was a time that I I thought about um About coloring my hair because I was uh pursuing an acting career And so I thought about doing that but you just can't get a natural red color for that if I if I could color my hair I'd probably look younger I don't know. I got a got a hair in my eye there eyelash But there's a part of me that's kind of looking forward to going all white I just want to just want to see what it looks like if I don't like it. I could color it then Uh, do you believe in the okay kitty brine plays says do you believe In the paranormal i'm curious do the paranormal stories you share Due to the paranormal stories. I share on my channel. Uh, I do believe in the paranormal I don't know if I believe it in the way that everybody else does um I believe How do I put this? if somebody sees a ghost they think it's the Like the dead relative of somebody. I don't know that I believe that um Because being a born-again christian. I believe Absent from the body present with the lord. That's assuming that's where you're going Uh, so I I have a tendency to believe and I know people are going to think that I'm nuts um, but I have a tendency to believe that when people see Spirits like that that they are actually seeing Demons, uh, I think I think the enemy like satan lucifer whatever you want to call in the devil. Um, I think That he has that he puts that kind of stuff in our lives To take our focus off reality. So I that's just my personal opinion But that's what I think that being said though. I think there is stuff out there that we can't explain um, people ask, you know, do I believe that the people can be psychic and um And I'll have esp and witchcraft stuff like that black magic. I do believe that stuff is real I also believe that you're supposed to stay away from it as the bible says, but I do believe it's actually out there favorite supernatural show Supernatural that would be my favorite supernatural show I don't watch any of the ghost channels and stuff like ghost shows or stuff like that They're all fake to me anyway. So if I'm going to watch something fake and supernatural I'm going to have something that's actually fun and funny and exciting So supernatural itself is the show that I would watch. It's really that's the only one that I do watch that's supernatural Uh, Carla glad to see you here and glad you made it Uh, other than the computer. Have you ever went to visit haunted areas? Um, not that I know of I've been invited Uh, I was invited to go see the uh, valisca axe murder house and I just didn't go because The group that was going was actually going to try to Try to contact spirits and stuff and I I think that's a really dangerous thing to do. I'm not going to do it Being a born-again christian. I I maybe could have gone And prayed over over the team and I did pray for them while they were there But um, I just I don't want to put myself into that kind of situation. I think it's a little too dangerous um Alexa says her hair is turning white as well Not you Alexa. No, this Alexa over here. Not you. That's a this is a like this. All right You know, I'm gonna put you on mute that way we don't have to worry about her um Great lakes state, uh, the great is that michigan? Is that what you're referring to? If so, then yeah, I mean michigan's not all that far Or if you're talking about mitisota, I don't know Nothing on the agenda just yet um darn it Were up was I ever a paranormal investigator? No never was have no business Or no interest in doing so, but I do know a lot of people that are Even before I started weird darkness. I knew a lot of people that were Uh, favorite authors. I don't do a lot of reading anymore. I just don't have time Uh, plus my job requires me to read all day long and prepare for things So when I'm when it's my downtime, I don't really read because it almost feels like work to me But before I got into all of this, I really liked michael creighton. Um, in fact, his novel They made it into a movie which didn't remotely do justice to it Which is always the case with a novel made into a movie, isn't it? But his uh, his novel sphere Is one of my favorite novels. Um, I really loved Jurassic park and and the lost world, but Sphere was just I was Riveted the entire time. I loved that. So michael creighton. Definitely one of my favorites My favorite book of all time. However is by c.s. Lewis. It's the screw tape letters. Very interesting stuff Um, so carl, no leave. It looks good. I'm assuming you're talking about the hair. Okay, carla Don't color it silver's awesome rocking the silver like lily monster. Uh, yeah, I'm seeing your profile pic Okay, that that does look good. I like that. Uh, hey, you just come up in time eastern time You live in newark, new jersey. Well, nice to see you katina Uh, christus king. Okay me me too. You ever actually seen a ghost or anything scary? Once well, I don't know. I didn't Sleep paralysis is uh, so it depends on whether whether you believe sleep paralysis is of the paranormal or not That's the one thing that has happened to me that Scared the crap out of me. Um It felt like I had If you're not familiar with sleep paralysis, you're you're sort of asleep and awake at the same time Your brain won't let you move when you're asleep. Your brain shuts down all your muscle functions So you won't move otherwise like in your dreams if you're running away from something You'd actually be doing that physically as well and roll out of bed and kill yourself So your brain shuts off all your muscles But with sleep paralysis You wake up But your brain has still paralyzed your muscles. So you can't move and you know, you can't move You're very aware that you can't move and it is terrifying Well, a lot of people who experience that also experience something called the old hag syndrome Where they believe there's an old lady or a monster or something that's like, you know Hovering over them or leaning over the bed over them or pushing down on them to keep them there That's what I felt it was a My mom just texted me the lighting is completely washed out my hair. So it looks completely gray Well, I could turn I could turn off the the light, but then nobody would see would see me but That's my mom looking out for me. That's right I may be I may be 49 years old, but my mom's still looking out for me. Love you mom Uh, but for the sleep paralysis thing Uh, I I experienced that and I really felt a really deep dark demonic resonance. That's that's what it felt to me again Sleep paralysis scientists say it's just a normal thing. There's nothing really to it But for what I experienced I felt it was real and I'm I'm convinced there is something to it But that's the only time that I've actually experienced anything ghostly or or paranormal or anything like that that being said, um I will possibly one day inherit A grandfather clock which belonged to my grandmother and even though I don't believe in ghosts the way most people believe in them That that clock is supposedly haunted because not only was it in in her own house When she passed away and my dad was living in her house for a while taking care of her and after she passed away He still saw her There in the house, but but then he moved he moved to Texas and took the grandfather clock with him And he saw his mother there And then he now he moved now he lives in Arkansas Took the the clock there and he has seen her ghost there as well Not only has he done it, but his wife Renee Uh has also experienced my grandmother's ghost or whatever you call it. So it'll be interesting if that Grandfather clock ever shows up over here what is going to happen since I'm not a believer in that kind of thing Uh, not I wouldn't believe it's actually her. I don't know if I would see it or not, but it'll be interesting to see what happens Uh, okay Are cryptids demons? No, not necessarily Justin. Uh, it depends on what you're referring to Like if you're talking about cryptids like bigfoot or Loch Ness monster Or werewolves, stuff like that. I don't necessarily think they're demons They could just very well be creatures that we don't know about yet Or they're just being misidentified. Um, so it would depend on the cryptid that you're referring to My favorite cryptid is mothman and that I believe is more of a More of a spiritual type of thing like either demon or angel depending, but I think probably closer to demon Um, but again, it just depends on the cryptid you're referring to Uh, cool to hear others believe when it comes to paranormal stuff. Supernatural is the best. Glad you agree with me, Adam Uh, I'm still very behind on the tv show, by the way, because I only watch it on netflix I don't watch regular tv when it's on. I'm just too busy and it's it's really irritating me right now Because I'm like two seasons behind on supernatural and I have to avoid everything online. I can in order to not Uh, not get the spoilers. It's driving me insane. I don't know when netflix is releasing the next Next episode, but I watch it now Uh, did I see yesterday's super net? See, no, I didn't all right. I just I just talked about that dean or sam Uh dean All the way dean is my favorite character um, and obviously I think I think um The actor You know, I'm having another brain fart. I think the actor though that plays dean He needs to play a superhero in the marvel universe of movies or something The guy just is really good at what he does Uh, Katina says, hey darin, I'm a muslim. How do you or your opinion is your opinion about islam? I don't know enough about islam to say one way or another Um, and I'm not trying to to shirt the question. I just I really haven't looked into it. Um If you if you really pinned me down, I would say well I believe islam is wrong the christianity is right But then again, you would say islam is right and christianity is wrong But other than that I really I I don't have much opinion on it I think everything we see in the news is They're only reporting the bad stuff about About anything if you ever hear anything about christianity in the news, it's usually bad too So they only report the bad stuff. I don't hear the good stuff. So I try to avoid religious and political conversations nowadays Uh, I learned I I made a lot of enemies when I first became a christian and I just got completely weird And even though I believe Everything that I believed back then I was a complete jerk Um, and and I made a lot of enemies. So I try to avoid Um discussions like that unless it's on a one-on-one conversation Someone's really asking me and asking my opinion, but in a venue like this. I just avoid that kind of stuff. Um Justin Oliver my humble opinion cryptids are interdimensional creatures. No spoilers. I'm on season 11 need to catch up Uh, okay, you're talking about michigan. Um, yeah We were actually in grand rap. It's not too long ago. Uh, just for a little vacation not for weird darkness or anything But it'd be very easily it'd be very easy to end up in michigan For uh, you know like a comic con or film festival or a live weird darkness. Yeah, um Indeed, okay. You ever done Lot number 249 by sir Arthur Conan Doyle as an audiobook. Um No, I I have not done anything from from Uh, sir Arthur Conan Doyle as an audiobook. So send me a send me a link. I'm not familiar with that If you want to send me a link to that just so I know what it's what you're talking about Um, I can't choose what audiobooks I do. Um, I can't just like pick one out of the world out of the world Say I want to I want to get paid and do this. It doesn't work that way. But um, that'd be cool to look into Um, Texas there. I would like to go back to Texas too. Yeah, my dad like I said my dad used to live in Texas I love that state So damn keyboard Tell me about it. Uh, what would happen if Pinocchio Said my nose will grow now Okay, I said you could ask me anything but now Juan decided to throw me a throw me a curveball What would happen if Pinocchio said my nose will grow now? Okay. All right. I got it I'm Pinocchio Your nose will grow now My nose grows because yours isn't growing. No, so it's a lie. Okay. There we go Uh, Bama on the national NCAA Alabama, okay. I don't I don't follow sports at all Um, my parents loved mineral wells when they lived there. Okay, Alexis. Oh, you guys are talking to each other now. It's awesome Uh, that room that I'm in is haunted. Uh It very well could be All right No, I don't think so. I've never had it other other than that one experience. I've never had anything Scary happen to me. Uh, so spirits can attach themselves to objects. Yeah Yeah, so in fact when we moved in here, uh, we did Anoint the the all the open the uh all the doorways and windows with oil and parade over the house So that could be why we haven't had any any issues Uh upcycle creation supposed to know if we have any children No, uh, we made the decision a few years ago that that just wasn't the direction that god had us going If you count the cat we have uh, we have one child but other than that now Uh, I'm glad you know somebody I watch on youtube is also a supernatural fan. You'd be surprised. There are a ton of supernatural fans I'm sorry. This is all shaky. I have I have to continue to touch the screen in order to see your comments I don't know why they won't stay up. I apologize for that. So I have to continue doing this Jensen eckles. Thank you kitty. Yes, that was the word. That was the name.

Um Uh, a lot of haters. It's all good though. I love them with the beginning ways Does anyone else see the bizarre fluttering shadow in the corner above the door and to the right of The fluttering shadow that would be the ceiling fan Uh, wouldn't it be cool if something supernatural happened while we were talking, but I'm sorry It's the ceiling fan the ceiling see hold on see There there's there's a ceiling fan right there I'm sorry to disappoint you that would have been freaky though. All right Uh, will this be on youtube as I you miss I think so. Yeah, um, I don't do a live Uh stuff very often, but I'm pretty sure that that this will be automatically saved and end up on youtube. Yeah So, uh, do I plan to open discord group for the subscribers? Um, what do you mean kitty? What do you mean an open discord group for the subscribers? Um Uh elaborate on that a little bit more Uh gene beverly says I totally love weird darkness. It reminds me the old radio shows that were ending when I was a child Yes, as I was mentioning earlier. I'm a big fan of the old radio shows and like suspense um Love those shows and I think that's probably what inspired me in the beginning to create weird darkness Um, I've been in like I said, I've been in radio for so long And then also having that love of the old radio shows and just kind of brought it out in me That's why I got into audio audio theater for a short while That's why I like adding sound effects to the show once in a while if I have the time Um, I really like that feel so thank you.

Uh, I would love to think that bigfoot's real. Um You know, there's so much there's so many stories out there about people seeing it Uh, I mean granted, you know, some of them are going to be hoaxes others are going to be Well, it was a bear or something and they were just misidentifying it But uh, I would love to think that bigfoot is real same with lock desk monster I would love for them to find out that it's actually real But there's also it's also kind of fun not knowing either way. There's there's the mystery to it And I think that's what makes it even more entertaining intriguing and fun is that there's you know, you really don't know Um, and we all love the mysterious and the unknown. So I would love to I would love to think that bigfoot's real But there's a part of me that hopes they never find out so Um, love that truck driver one. Yeah, I remember the truck story. It was freaky It was yeah, I wasn't saying goodbye. I'm trying to remember what it was I can not for the life of me think remember what it was Saying goodbye was It'll come to me later The I've done one of these q and a's before these live things and I always have a brain fart at these I just my brain just locks up and I try to try to access information Uh, the pay phone story. Yeah, and that one by the way that you're talking about the one uh in the desert The bohavi desert that's true too. Um, in fact somebody uh on twitter Actually called that number And got a string got a strange Message texted back to them and they did a screenshot and sent it to me On twitter and it was like and I think the the actual message was the end is near If it had a string of numbers, it was really freaky So, uh, I was told that the number no longer existed, but apparently something is still there. So really weird Um, I thought a lot of animals were considered tails cryptids like gorilla. Yeah Weird news is awesome. Thank you very much appreciate it. Uh, your your name is my youtube page. Yes, sir 18 years no no not 18 years of marriage 23 years of marriage The cat is 18 years old It doesn't allow links. So check out hide and seek paranormal. Okay.

Yeah Do a search on facebook or online for hide and seek paranormal society And you'll find it on facebook. I was a actually a guest on therese's show Um, it was probably what more more than a year ago Uh, it was but it was a great time Any funny workplace stories as you can tell Not off the top of my head, but keep listening to daily does the weird news you're probably gonna Uh, all right. Thank you so much for taking the time and answer all the subscribers Q&A not my channels on youtube Every answers questions. Thank you. Oh, you're welcome katina and thank you by the way for continue for being such an amazing uh, amazing subscriber and uh, Weirdo family member katina has actually been going over to the facts first channel when the other narrator was over there When I was on vacation and somebody else was filling in And whenever anybody asked hey, where's the other narrator katina would jump in and say he's just on vacation. Don't worry. He's coming back That was great. I mean, I didn't even ask for her to do that and she did. I just love that. Thank you Kayla says my seven-year-old daughter. Alyssa loves your show monitor it. So she gets the less spooky At night. She tells me bedtime stories trying to sound like you She's a big fan. I would love for you to record that and send it to me. That would be awesome How old is your daughter? I would I would love to know that But yeah, the less spooky stuff I struggle with that too because I really want to keep this I can't you can't really do weird darkness and keep it family friendly quote unquote But I do try to um, you know at least get rid of the the really bad cursing But I mean unfortunately some of the stories when it comes to murders and stuff like that I mean you can't clean it up at all and still have a family friendly Otherwise, you just can't tell the story at all. So Unfortunately, that's that's the way it is. So I'm sorry that she that she can't She can't get every episode But I am so glad that you're a mom that cares enough that actually listens first before she does I think that's awesome. We need more parents in the world like you Um, congratulations over 23 years of marriage. That's amazing. Thank you patrice Uh, what did you miss cool kitty rats? I missed it Well, if it says something if you're referring to something in the video, it'll be posted on youtube later on when we're done Uh, I would laugh very hard if somebody asked you questions on their math homework I would laugh really hard too because I suck at math Math me and numbers that did not do not get along um Put the link in your debate section Do best okay But the cursing makes it funny. No, I don't agree Jean Not not when it comes to stand on comedy or for Uh, the daily dose of weird news stuff like that now the cursing may sometimes shows up in weird darkness only because the author themselves Wrote that word in there and sometimes I feel like there's really no Replacement word that would fit it any better. But I don't I don't think comedy nowadays has to have cursing Um, I think it's way overused. I think it's a crutch It's harder to do clean comedy when I was doing stand-up comedy It was a lot harder for me to write the jokes and make them funnier But that being said I think it was worth the effort And I also was able to reach a much larger audience because of that too so, um She's seven Oh, hold on kitty says my sister says hi. Hello kitty sister Uh, record it. She's hilarious. We love your show. Thank you very much. Kayla. Yes I would love love to have a recording of that In fact, if it's if she's telling a ghost story, I might even put it in weird darkness to share with everybody If she if she's okay with that Uh, there's being a christian influence. How do you feel about the paranormal? I talked about that earlier in the video, so I won't go over that again right now The video will be posted up a little bit later on But yes by christian influence does change some of my opinions about the paranormal Let's see. Jeremy says you're from singapore and you love the story The stories that I tell. Well, thank you. I appreciate it. Uh, what's my opinion on crouter? Are you talking about the uh the music artist crouter? Um He's all right I uh, I used to used to do Used to be in christian music radio for for many years and the crouter had some good stuff But uh ever since about six years ago. I lost I the radio station I worked for when I was doing the morning radio show for the christian music station It was sold and so I'm really behind the times. I don't listen to christian music at all Just because i'm so busy doing other stuff, so not like I have anything against it It's just I'll listen to it on sunday mornings on the way to church stuff like that But it's about the only or if i'm in the car with my wife and you know She turns it on because she loves christian music all here at then But that's about it. So I really can't tell you how much I enjoy crouter at least not the modern stuff because I really don't know Uh, plus he's not a real rocker If you if he was a real head banging rocker crunch guitarist kind of guy I probably know more of him because my my bride would probably have uh already bought his cds Okay, so Oh, steven crouter the comedian Uh, okay, you're talking about louder with crouter. Um, he's he's all right. He's all right I I I know him a little bit on his on his uh YouTube show. I don't spend a lot of time watching it. Um, but I think he's good at what he does Uh, love listening to your podcast. I work late and I'm so tired and get your story reads Help me get it through the night. Oh, yeah, and I freak myself out constantly when people sneak up on me Well, thank you and I'm sorry steven Uh, okay, uh, can you tell me how weird darkness will change because of the new deal I signed? Okay, yeah, um, sure. Uh, in fact, uh, we just got confirmation today That I have a new advertiser the the content itself is not going to change all that much Aside, you will start hearing some ads But I was talking to the ad agency and I want to make sure that they are not distracting That was my main concern. Um, I want the show to continue to be entertaining and I don't want the ads to come in and Interrupt the flow. You know, I don't want them to take you out of the out of the the atmosphere. That's I mean because You're you're really spooky. You're listening to a scary scary story and then all of a sudden Boom. Hey come shop at Bob's widgets and then back to scary stories that just It doesn't work very well. I mean, I guess television does it all the time, but they're tv shows, but I just I would like to be a little bit more careful about that But that being said, uh, you've you've already started hearing some the nocturnal readers box Is already a sponsor and um, I'm really loving the relationship with them I was in fact, they are going to send me Uh, I believe they're gonna send me maize box Uh, once it comes out and if so I will share with you here on youtube I've never seen the boxes. I I love the concept that they're doing I think it's awesome, but they're actually going to send me a box to see for myself and share with you guys Which will be really awesome and uh starting monday Um, I'll be able to tell you about something that I actually pursued them Uh, it's well, you know, I'll I'll wait until monday to tell you about it But it's a product that I've been using now for about four or five months And I like it so much that I actually went after them to ask them to be a sponsor And it took us this long to finally connect with each other and get something going But I'm really excited about them Uh, okay, let's see here. Let me move back Okay, I heard it What was the new deal that I signed? Okay. Well, there he goes. I'm working with an ad agency now They they approached me by the way To they they liked weird darkness enough that they wanted to go out and find advertisers for me So we we did that just start hearing some advertisers on the show. That's what we're talking about the new deal But they want to take things a lot further and they're the ones that wanted me to do the live tour They want and they want to go out and actually find venues like small theaters and stuff for me to do a tour on So they're actually they're they're not just an ad agency now. They're actually like a talent agent, which is really sweet Um, okay, let's see This means you're not returned to fax verse. Oh, yeah, I'll go back. I'm there. I'm back on fax verse already Um, yeah, that doesn't change anything. I'll I'll continue voicing for fax verse as long as I can I love working for them So that doesn't change anything with what with what I'm doing with weird darkness and everything else that doesn't that doesn't affect fax verse at all Uh, co-workers get a good laugh out of it. They listen to your show. Thank you, steven Earth will transfer from carbon-based to silicone-based life It's gonna be like a terminator. Okay All right. Is that a prediction? Gosh, you're funny. Thank you gene. Uh, could robots replace humans? Um, in some ways, uh, they're already replacing humans when it comes to the job market in some areas Um, well, I don't know if they could replace humans entirely, but I do that being said I I it concerns me the whole ai idea If we really truly do create artificial intelligence, uh Who's to say that the robots couldn't decide that the world would be better off without us And if we create an artificial intelligence with machines, then their brains could be much faster than ours We may not be able to keep up at all So, uh, the only thing I would suggest when it comes to creating ai Is make sure that it's not hooked up to the internet and don't give them legs and arms That's that, you know, if they're gonna be ai just just have it be a just be ahead That's it. That's the ai right there. That's all it is um Okay Austin says I'd like to see on tour. I think it'd be fun I think the advertising you've done so far blends just fine with the theme of the show So it's good. Thank you. Kayla. I appreciate it. That actually is a concern of mine and I do I like that you're that you're giving me your opinion and if If you have other opinions about it, uh Let me know if you hear if you hear an ad On on my show that you think is inappropriate Tell me about it. Now, that doesn't include the youtube ads that they throw at the beginning or the end Because I have no control over those But within the show itself, which you'll probably hear in my voice and if you hear something inappropriate, please let me know I would appreciate it. Uh, let's see here. Can you tell me down? Will I watch infinity war? If it ends up on netflix Probably I loved iron man and then It just it kind of got out of out of hand I'm not a fan of having to watch every marvel movie that comes out in order to keep up with the storyline I want to follow one character Um, like I'm a big batman fan. I love batman. And so the chris christopher. Nolan series was awesome but I don't I the whole the justice league thing now and batman versus superman I don't want to follow the other other characters. I just don't care um I I'm I'm I'm somebody that thinks the superhero is is best if they are in the reality Just by themselves. They are they are an anomaly in the world not one of many. So I there's so many Avengers in the infinity war. I don't I don't know even half of them. So Come to london on tour. Don't forget us weirdos overseas I have to get a uh, I have to get a passport first. I've never been out of the country um, I have an open invitation to go to uh, Camden islands came in came in islands, which would be fun and I would love to visit ireland someday uh, london, it'd be nice. Um, but You never know. You never know what god has played. I really I really don't know what he has come into doors First time viewer here. What's this channel about? Oh, well, I would uh, say your name, but it's a bunch of Unpronounceable characters. Well, welcome to the channel. Um, glad you're here. Uh, the channel itself I tell I have two shows that I do Mostly on this channel. Uh, one's called weird darkness, which uh, it's a it's a it's an audio Thing it's not really videos. They're they're podcasts that just get uploaded to my youtube channel, but it's uh, I tell stories of the paranormal supernatural mysterious dark macabre Unsolved mysteries that type of thing anything that's dark and strange ends up in weird darkness and I tell stories on that show and then the other show is A comedy news thing called daily dose of weird news and I like to cover stories that Most of the mainstream networks aren't gonna cover and then I'll add my own humorous comments or opinions to those As well and a daily dose of weird news comes out five days a week one day through friday And then weird darkness Has been tuesdays thursdays and saturdays, but I think I'm gonna start doing it daily And just have a shorter version each day. I did a uh did an opinion I asked asked a like sort of a poll on facebook in the weirdos of marlore house facebook group And asked them and overwhelmingly they say they would rather have Weird darkness more often and have to be shorter than have Longer episodes and only two or three a week. So I'll probably start doing it more often Um Mario hey nice nice to see you man. He's a facebook buddy now. He's uh In the movie 2001 space odyssey tells us the dangers before terminator before That the story of the golem you need to look up that story Actually, I there was a book For all the seas with oysters, I think it's what it was Is what look at my look if you go to weirddarkness.com I click on the audiobooks page There is a book there that I narrated and one of the stories was the golem And uh, yeah really cool story So I actually did narrate that story Uh, you want to do an interview with me mario? All right. Well drop me a note. We can talk about it Uh, did I see the passion of the christ? If so, what did I think? Yes? I did see it once I will never watch it again. It was It was way too real It was It was too intense And I from what I understand that was that's only a fraction of what truly happened and how brutal it was When christ went into his crucifixion. So I just can't see I don't understand if anybody watching that movie and not at least Having some sort of feeling walking out either of hatred of anger or of love Something that that movie really did they they're making a sequel by the way Not a joke. I heard the other day that um mel Gibson and What's his face that started it? uh Jim cavizel He they've actually signed up to do a sequel to it. So it'll be the resurrection of jesus and I guess like maybe the The the the amount of time after the crucifixion before the ascension So and I don't know what that's going to be like It probably won't be nearly as intense as actually seeing the death of jesus I would think but you never know But it'll be interesting to see Um Going to fox sports not really You're possibly going on so you're changing radio jobs more already a little good Uh a dad joke please with your voice. It would be epic Uh dad joke Um, okay, I'll this is what my dad used to tell us He thought it was funny. We we thought it was lame But I then get that's what makes it a dad joke and you want it in my do you want it in my movie trailer guy voice? My in a world. Uh, all right, here we go Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear Fuzzy wuzzy had no hair So fuzzy wuzzy wasn't fuzzy wuzzy. Okay. Uh, that was my dad joke. All right Do I like ash versus evil dad? I haven't watched any of those Uh, the new movie about paul. I haven't seen it Um, didn't see passion of the christ. Thank you for the q&a. It was joy Um Thank you, alexis. I appreciate it I'm starting to lose my voice gang and we've only we haven't even been here an hour. Oh, wow I still got 23 people watching. That's awesome guys. I'm glad that you're here. So any more questions for me? Uh, lol Okay, people are apparently you like the movie trailer guy. Um, I actually get hired to do the movie trailer guy quite a bit You don't hear him on my youtube channel very I do have a a list on my youtube channel if you want to hear more more of that but Um, yes, this is a cup. This is a mug actually 32 ounces I usually this is usually my coffee in the morning and I usually have at least one refill I do a lot of coffee each day, but right now it's just it's just water flavored water Um The 10 things series I do you talk about facts first Um Don't be about the only thing that I I know you're talking about The winter is Do you mean coming? I don't think soming is a word The winter is soming All right The winter is coming. All right. Um What phone do I use? I well, I'm I'm on it right now. I use a samsung galaxy s seven I think Don't use an iphone. I have a mac. I use a mac computer, but I don't use a an iphone. I use a use an android Uh, okay. Ever tried a southern southern drink. Sweet tea. Yeah I in can I grew up in olathecansis. That's my hometown even though we're in Rockford, Illinois now, but that's where I grew up And there was a there was a restaurant called po folks I don't know if they still exist or not, but they were known for southern food And one of the things that we had was ice tea And then we made an actual sweet tea and we put in So much sugar in the sweet tea You it was so you could have used it as syrup on pancakes. There was that much syrup in it or that much sugar in it It was awesome Uh game of thrones. I don't watch it Just because I hear it's great And I think I might watch it someday, but I I just I can't I can't take the time to to dedicate to it Any advice for somebody who wants to start a youtube channel? Yeah, don't because I don't need the competition Uh, I'm kidding. Uh, just start it find something that you're passionate about And do that don't create a channel only because you want the views or because you want Um, you want fame or anything like that because you will fail Uh, you you can't do youtube Thinking that you're going to it's going to make you famous or rich or anything like that because that The chance you have a better chance of winning the lottery than winning the youtube career path, so YouTube it's it's only worth it if it's enjoyable to you if you actually have fun doing it That's why my youtube channel has changed so much over the years. It started A long time ago as an opportunity to Put recordings of my radio show on it And then I started doing stand-up comedy So I put up some stand-up comedy clips and then I started doing the daily dose of weird news We put that up there I had a few fun ideas that I thought for different shows like truth or turkey and um Big voice music guy that I was doing which didn't go very far But and then I started the weird darkness thing and it's only because I thought it would be fun I didn't do any of those thinking. Hey, somebody's gonna really love this stuff I did it because I wanted to do it and it just something happened to catch on which is great Uh, and I've only got 10 000 subscribers, which a lot of people think is a success, but You know, you can't make a living with 10 000 subscribers Any any going to happen at least not with adsense I would have to sell something to all of you in order to make it worth my while So find something you're passionate about doesn't matter what it is. I mean you can be passionate about About wood chips in a hamster cage. And if that's what you're really passionate about make a youtube channel about that Uh Dak gta fan says I smashed that like button so hard it broke. Yeah I love that Will this live broadcast be a regular thing? I've had people ask me if it could be I don't know why it would be. I don't know what I could what would I have to offer doing this on a regular basis? I just You know, maybe maybe a q&a once in a while, you know, like maybe every two or three months Or you know, the reason i'm doing this one is because I hit 10 000 subscribers on youtube So I hit a milestone and that's why we're doing it So I don't know What would I do for a regular thing on the broadcast? Where to go to learn to remove a foreign accent is that It's possible. I've never had to deal with it. Um, I was very fortunate in the fact that I was Raised in the midwest of the united states and that's sort of a Sort of a non-accent area Um, at least for at least for america, obviously if you're listening to me in another country I'm going to have this act this american accent But here in the states, I am considered non-accent Which is what I mean, which is really what you want for a broadcast career or being a voice actor or stuff like that You could add the accents later if you're playing a character, but for your regular speaking voice, you don't want it um But there are vocal coaches out there that can teach you how to speak without an accent I've never used one though, but I'm sure you could do a google search and find them. They're they're out there uh So christopher warren law did not see it. We love that part Thank you for the advice. It makes a lot of sense. You're welcome steven Um, you should come and check out the many creepy places we have in indiana Uh, I don't check out the places people send me the information to talk about them. So if Like like maybe if there's something online if you want to send me the url to those stories I can check them out and maybe uh talk about those on the show. Uh, I would love to um Thank you. Awesome. Congratulations on hitting 10 000. Thank you. Teresa. I appreciate it. Yeah, that was I did not expect it 10 000 That was awesome um, did I go to college gene asks I did uh I went to a junior college in overland park kansas. It's it was just a two-year college I went there for four years, but only got like a year and a half worth of credits I college was not my best subject school. It just was not my thing Thank god literally thank god. I found radio. Otherwise I would be so lost in this world um The radio went went into voice work and stuff like that. So Any sports is a child or a young adult. Can we hear the song you sang? Hear the song that I sang what um What song are you referring to patrice? And as uh in regards to the sports, I I did uh when I was growing up I really loved playing baseball Um, I had a pretty decent swing. I you know, I hit the ball pretty well Uh, wasn't that great of uh an offensive player or a defensive player though I like to play in catcher, but I wasn't really very good at it. Um So they usually stuck me in a right field And if you know anything about baseball, you know, you're usually throwing your worst players in right field So that's where I spent most of my time when I had the glove on but it was fun Fun swing in the bat. I actually did enjoy that but I wasn't good enough to go very far after that. So after I quit that even before junior high, I think so or or mid junior high So I didn't go very long with that. I also spent a little bit of time playing tackle football But the doctors said to stop because they found out that I had a minor case of scoliosis So I had to stop that And I don't watch sports at all now. I have no interest whatsoever in sports the uh, the one exception Would be I I don't know why but I ended up getting Sort of addicted for maybe a week or two to watching youtube videos of Olympic women's curling, uh, you know, they they take the stone and uh skid it on the ice I don't know why for some reason I got I kind of got into that but other than that. I'm not into sports Uh, you know the use for 15 years you still found uh, Kayla says that she's been in the us for 15 years And you still sound funny You're probably going to have an accent the rest of your life unless you really work to get rid of it And I think even then this is just a guess But I would think even then you're going to have to continually Try to not have the accent. Otherwise, I think it would just probably come back naturally Um, you enjoyed the soul glow segments on the radio show. Is there a chance that you'll get to hear soul glow again? uh probably not The only up the only way you'd probably hear those again Is if I brought back the Darren Marlar radio show and started doing that as a podcast But I stopped I was doing that for an actual radio station For a couple of stations actually But I just it was it took so much time and it really wasn't worth what was when I was being paid And because I dropped that I was able to concentrate a bit more in Weird Darkness and we could see what's happened with that Uh, nobody really hardly anybody obviously you were one of the few Uh that listened to the Darren Marlar radio show on youtube or a podcast So that was the only place that soul glow uh actually existed. So Uh, I might someday uh do a newsletter and maybe put it in the newsletter But I don't know if it actually fits What you know what my youtube channel or my podcasts are now. So I don't I don't you probably won't see it again I'm sorry to say that but you never know. You never know what happens in the future. Um Where do I get my info for daily dose of weird news? I do a lot of uh web surfing and I also subscribe To a lot of newsletters, uh, whether that people will send To um to radio personalities. They'll send them with little news items And I will take those news items and uh modify them a bit with my own personality and uh and punch lines So it's kind of what they do with uh the late night top shows They they go out a lot of people pour Pour their own stories out and then they kind of pick and choose So I would say about half the stories that I do on daily dose of weird news are mine And I I create the punch lines and everything but about 50 percent of them are Something that other people have wrote and I just kind of throw my own personality into it. So Uh, and I'm I'm fine giving them giving them the credit I don't want to I don't want to say that I do it all because I I don't wouldn't have the time to do all of that But I love doing it. It's fun Hello, this is kitty brine plays little sister. Well, hello ender kitty. Nice to have you here Have I ever played roblox? Nope never have I'm not a gamer Um, she says she has scoliosis also. I don't think I have it anymore I think it was I think they were worried about it when I was a kid, but um, I don't think I actually have it I do have a bad back that runs in the family bad back. I also have bad knees. Um In fact, I'll go ahead and tell you why I have bad knees. Uh, when I was playing baseball I um, I can't remember exactly how I injured my right knee Playing baseball, but I remember doing so and I remember having a picture taken the team picture at the end of the season and you could see this really On my face. It's like, you know what? Thanks for all with your face. Well, they had me leaning kneeling on my right knee And it was swollen and hurt and they wouldn't believe me So that so that picture was taken. Well, then a few years later in high school I got into the to the musicals And uh, there was a musical called once upon a mattress It's the musical version of the princess and the pea and I played uh prince nauntless And there was a part of the of the of the show where the entire cast now I was a lot smaller than They lifted me up threw me into the air and were supposed to catch me. Well on the final night of the show They didn't catch me. They missed me and I landed on my right knee Thank goodness. It was the last night of the show because I was Gone for a long time with that knee And then about 10 years ago um I banged up that same knee again when I was going to work I was I was bicycling to the radio station and it was in the middle of winter. So I hit an ice patch And went down and twisted my knee back And so after those three those three incidents my knees Are awful and so like when there's really bad weather outside. I can actually feel it So where was I going with that? Why why did I even bring that up? Oh, because we talked about scoliosis. Okay, that's right Okay, you said I recorded a song you'd written Oh Okay patrice says you there's a song that I had written Can't remember which one you did say you said you'd hear at some time. Maybe perhaps. Okay, you know what? You are right. I uh Do I hear somebody outside the door? Hey, you want to say hello say hello to everybody. Hi everybody come over here. Come over here Hey everybody you want to meet my bride? There's the camera right there. This is my beautiful bride. I told you that I've been married for 23 years This is her. This is not the cat. That's that's 18 years old This is this is the this is the bride somebody thought that we'd been married 18 years to say no, that's the age of the cat So this is my beautiful bride right here. So you just coming in to say hi You just wanted some face time. Yes, I know you I know Okay, all right So, uh, I love that lady. Um, okay. Yeah patrice is talking about a song I actually went to I wrote a song and went to uh, nashville to record. It's called little critty and I you are right I promised Months ago that if I ever hit 10,000 uh subscribers that I would post it So thank you for the reminder I will have to find that song and do the lyrics and everything so people can can uh Can hear it. Yeah, I went to nashville and recorded two songs only one of them. I actually wrote and that's the one Uh, okay, don't have you done any work singing, but yes, you sound like you could sing nicely I did I did for a long time. That's what I in fact That's what I wanted to do Before I got into radio, um, I wanted to be a rock star when I was in high school I spent all of my time in in the theater and in the music classes So, uh, yeah, that's what I wanted to do But I destroyed my voice by trying to sing incorrectly And I started singing Uh, you you can you probably tell that I have a lower voice. So like a like a baritone Um, it used to be a little bit higher But I destroyed my voice and so it's down a little bit lower now which works for the voiceover stuff but I I loved like journey and night ranger And a foreigner and so I tried to sing all of those songs warrant I tried to sing those songs like they did And I just kept on stretching my voice and it I destroyed my voice. So And so if anybody from high school is listening to me now thinking hey, man, you're supposed to be a rock star Whatever happened. That's what happened. I was an idiot and uh, but on the plus side It did give me the voice I have now which I can actually make a living on I probably never would have made it as a rock star I made a living there the competition is way too fierce for that. So in a way It's actually a blessing, but it's still kind of frustrating because when I try to sing now, I know it sounds awful Uh, but there you go. But yeah, I used to I used to love singing. I used to be on stage all the time Um, did I always have a radio voice? Uh, I don't know I I it depends on what you mean by a radio voice. Uh I don't know the only reason I even got into radios because some friends were doing it And I thought it sounded cool. And so I walked in and said, hey, you know, I'll work for free Just to kind of get experience I had no idea if I had a decent voice or not nowadays you don't need a decent voice to be in radio If uh, if you want to be like the movie trailer guy something obviously you do but If you if you listen to the radio nowadays, you'll hear people that don't really have that great of a voice It's the personality that matters If you can if you can be yourself on air and have fun and just just keep talking and be entertaining the entire time It doesn't matter if you sound like Mickey Mouse. So long as you are entertaining and engaging Uh, so you really don't have to have that radio voice anymore. It's really not required Uh, just finished an entire family-sized bag of chips watching this So please don't don't go this light live too often or you'll get fatter. That is hilarious But thank you upcycle creations. That's great Could I sing? Even polka, I guess you could try I don't know. Uh, hey kitten white. Thank you very much for coming in and her kitty. Hello Jean Beverly. Hi See smiling faces up. Hi. Hello. Oh wow cool. Hi. Hi. Hello. Hi. Everybody's saying hi to each other. That's awesome Um, let's see here. You guys look nice together. Yes. Thank you, Jacob. Yeah, she's a like she's a pretty lady always has been And she's older than I am But she does not look it. I mean she looks like she's in her 30s. I look like I'm in my late 40s early 50s It's great. So, um Let's see You play I you play baritone Uh, well like a baritone sax. Um, well, you have both voice and personality. Well, thank you. Jane. I appreciate it Um, I do miss doing radio and I I mean I'm sort of on the radio in Chicago But not like doing personality radio. It was fun to do while I was doing it, but Uh, Jacob says hey Marlar. Hello there. Mickey Mouse. Ha ha all the hellos. Hey Marler No, we were saying hi to your wife. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Well, she's gone now. I'm sorry Uh, all of those highs were for your wife See she's not she's more popular than I am. See how see how you guys are So, uh, okay. I've gone through all the comments. Is there anything else that you guys want to talk about? Oh, man right Okay So what else can we talk about? Um, because I'm fine if we go towards we go to like You know, eight eight thirty or nine. I'm cool with that However long you guys want to hang out until or or until I lose my voice or get too tired You want to see I'll show you what we're going to start talking about on monday This we're gonna start talking about this dawn to dusk I was talking about it earlier and I said I tell you I'm monday, but I'm going to tell you about it now um, it's from brick house nutrition and I heard about this on another podcast And I thought I'd try it and it's it's sort of it's Instead of taking an energy drink energy drink. It's like a like a dietary supplement but uh, I I've actually experimented with it and You when before I started taking it Even if I got a really good night's sleep with like eight or nine hours I'd still get really tired in the day and have to take a four-hour nap I started taking this stuff. I don't need the naps anymore. I'm focused all day long I really really love this stuff. So that's why I approached them. I They didn't come to me. I went to them said look. I love what you I love this product. Can you advertise on my podcast? So you'll hear about them a little bit more um, so let's see Where do I send you a story? Hey, steven Um, I would love to hear your whatever your story is If you got to a dark tale to tell as I say in the podcast If you just go to weird darkness dot com all one word weird darkness dot com There is a form there on that page that you can fill out And the reason I do the page is because there are some things that you need to click in order to give me permission to use your stuff And also there's another site that I do work with that I I don't work with them, but I sort of have a relationship with them. It's my haunted life two dot com That's my haunted life t o o dot com and I get stories from them But uh, they were with me at the very very beginning and so I was getting stories from them and also sending them stories And so now we have this relationship where if somebody is okay with it Uh, then they'll send the story to me and if they say that it's okay to send to them I will send it to them And they'll post it first and then I'll end up using it on a weird darkness anyway So you'll actually get it on both places if you're okay with that So but I I can't do that with just an email. I have to do that with the with the form It's just a lot easier to get to get all the the i's dotted and the t's crossed So but yeah, we're darkness.com and they click out the uh, then fill out the form there Okay, so let's see Katina, I feel that way late in the day. How do we order for dawn dawn to dusk? Um, I will uh on monday You'll be able to find out But uh, if if you want to go ahead and jump on in a line just go to brick house nutrition dot com And in the in that I think there's a shop drop-down box You can you can see it there dawn to dusk, but but if you wait until monday There will be a deal for just Weird darkness um listeners you'll be able to get 10 off your order If you go to a certain url, which we're getting set up for monday And there's actually a promo code that you'll use which is I think I think they're going to use the promo code weird Just use just the word weird to get 10 off But that's not set up yet So you'll have to wait until monday to get get started on that but definitely worth it I would suggest getting a bottle and just trying it first Um, I liked it so much. I actually did the subscription. So and i'm a big guy So they they recommend one or two tablets per day One is enough for just about anybody Two if you are a normal sized person, I think two tablets probably have you jumping off the walls So but i'm a big Fat guy So late in the morning around 10 a.m. I get up at 6 a well a little before 6 a.m. For my job Around 10 a.m. I found is actually a good time to take those pills They get me through the rest of the day Which is I was talking to the guys over at dawn to dusk today One of the one of the owners of the company and he was explaining to me why it works that way Why I don't have the crash Why it works all the extended release rather than like taking a monster energy drink or or Rockstar or red bull or something like that where you get the instant high and you get the crash Because the pills they have a very very small amount of caffeine Which gives you the initial The initial jolt But then the rest of it the rest of the ingredients are slow acting And they release throughout the day. It's not caffeine though. It's it's other elements But it gives you the the initial jolt to wake you up and then keeps you awake For a while in fact, I I would say you don't want to take these any less than six hours before Before going to bed because they would probably keep you awake But the cool thing is I don't get the crash and I don't When I do it an energy drink Like with with one of like like the red bull the rock star stuff like that it actually hurts my stomach I actually get this tightening almost a knife punch into the gut feeling And this doesn't give me that which is another reason that I that I use it And I used to do a five hour energy every single day and I don't have to do that anymore either So, okay, how much does fax first pay a video? None yo business But if you want to hire me I can tell you how much I'll charge you Okay How did I meet my wife? You know, it's too bad. She's not here because she loves to tell that story I was working in radio in Kansas City And a little tiny little am radio station that apparently nobody other than her listened to And I was doing the morning show there and I I used to I used to pretend or complain on the air that I was hungry Um, and I wasn't it's I don't know why I just I thought it was funny at the time or whatever And I don't think it was but anyway, she was listening and decided and she took pity on me And so she bought me breakfast. I think she went to to mcdonald's or something about breakfast or brought it up to the radio station But she did that after she won a cd on the radio She called in and was caller number nine or whatever we were doing. She picked up the cd I don't remember what it was. It doesn't really matter, but she says that when she saw me She immediately Um fell in love and she went back to her work Where she and her boyfriend were And she broke up with her boyfriend the very morning that she met me She was and he was like what what what what? Uh, she was that sure that we were going to get together and so she pursued me for a week before I asked her out and um, the only reason I asked her out is because I had a date that canceled on me And I was supposed to double date with somebody and so suddenly I was about to date and you know This nice lady had been talking to me. So I thought okay, I'll ask her out And so I went out with her and we knew on our second date that we were going to get married Um, and we've been married now. Like I said for 23 years and I have not regretted a moment of it Best decision I ever made second only to give him my life to christ Love love that woman. So that's how we met she tells it much better than I do because she's been telling it for years I love to tell the story. She likes to say she won me on the radio. So that's how she starts it um How things been for me. Uh, very good. Jacob. Thanks for asking Uh, um, okay up cycle. You're gonna send me a story. Hope. All right. Well, I'll look for it. Thank you Um, do they ship abroad? You're talking about brickhouse nutrition and dawn and dusk. I don't know I'm sure they probably do But I really don't know. I guess we'll find out on Monday Uh, I'll tell all my friends about you Marlar. Thank you, Jacob. I appreciate that. Um, I'm husky No, I'm not I'm fat I appreciate you trying to save my feelings carla, but no, I know I'm I'm a big fat slob Well, I weighed like 360 something pounds. I'm fat. Okay. Um Is a real story and it happened. Okay, cool. Cool. So you're sending me a real story to weird darkness. That's awesome Um, so viking bedtime. Goodbye from three in the morning for you guys. Well, good night I really appreciate you staying up this late and hanging out with me That that really does mean a lot for it to be that late in the evening for you and hanging out with me. That's awesome Thank you. I really appreciate that. Um, have I ever glitch moment Y'all have to explain what you mean by a glitch moment You talk about like a glitch in the matrix type of thing like a deja vu thing Not that I remember but if that's not what you're referring to let me know 9 15 for you. I think it's it's eight 8 15 for me. Um I'll say are you getting tired just a little or you're probably not even talking to me there Uh, there's a guy on the internet who pays voice actors to say random stuff Will I be in one of those videos? I don't know what you're talking about If there's a guy on the internet that pays guys to send them stuff Send that guy my way. That's what To get paid to say random stuff. That's a dream job right there. Tell me about it. Um, I know that there's the guy that on The epic trailers. Is that what it is? uh, the I can't I can't remember what they're called. They The honest trailers. That's what they're called the honest trailers and on youtube and I guess at the end they The voice of a bunch of stuff that were that they were asked to voice Like would you say such and such and so the guy the big voice guy says that that's kind of fun I don't know if you're talking about that Um, no, uh, Jacob asked if I have any kids. Nope. Nope We decided a long time ago that that wasn't the direction we wanted to go Dad told me once that a woman gets her meat hooks into a man. There's no escape. Ain't that the truth? Yes It is so hard to escape a woman that uh, that has her her hooks in you even even if you know that woman's bad for you um Glad you like the story patrice. Thank you very much Uh, we still got 23 people watching. That's awesome. Uh, I don't know what else you want to talk about Send send a question my way. Come on I don't know if there's anything else to talk about. I'm looking around to see if there's anything else I could talk about Anything you guys would care about Let that I see Let that I see Uh, the guy channel. It's just called Chikichu Chikich You know what that up Chikichu You said that's on youtube Chikichu Chikichu Chikichu It's just fun to say Chikichu That's something good. Oh, there he is. Okay All right, I'll look into it. I'll see what it is. Um, can I request a youtube channel for you? Yeah, feel free Uh, let's see How long will I do youtube? I have I have no idea YouTube has been great up until now. I know they have a lot of problems with stuff right now, but I have changed My focus to podcasts. So I don't really rely on youtube Uh, I'm not that I'm giving it a what not that I'm giving up on it all I'm not going to walk away, but it's not my focus anymore, but it's still there So, I mean I've got it set up where the podcasts are automatically uploaded. I don't have to do that manually So I'll probably be on youtube for a while just because There's really no work at all to do the only thing I do Is after they're uploaded I go back in and I and I replace the thumbnail and put in some of the links Like the the cards and the end the end cards and the info cards and stuff like that But I mean I could just ignore it completely and I'll and the podcast would still upload there So I probably I'm probably not leaving youtube in the near future. Um, but I'm not focusing on it I'm not doing the video stuff anymore. Audio is really my thing um What is my favorite story? I've been doing this now since 2015 there's a lot of stories out there uh There were very very early on there was a story Called a ghost named lucy, which was really good But I gotta say the most fun I had though was actually narrating an Edgar Allen Poe Story called the telltale heart I think that's my favorite thing that I've done on weird darkness Even though it's not something that I normally do But I really enjoyed doing it's always it's always been my favorite story from Edgar Allen Poe And so I was able to narrate that and sort of do like a voice acting thing. That was a lot of fun um Let's see. Thanks for the like Q&A. It was fun. Oh, gene's leaving us. Good night gene Uh, am I into Japanese folktales like the horror Japanese stories? I'm not but if you go to uh, my haunted life too.com my hundred life two dot com They came out with a book not too long ago. That is just Japanese ghost stories They were they asked me to narrate it And I turned it down just because I knew I wouldn't be able to pronounce half of the words in it Um, it's not written in Japanese, but a lot of the names are Japanese And I just knew I'd butcher them so I didn't take it but um, but yeah, the book's out there If you want to check that out, uh, let's see the youtube channel is called Amaleto All right, I got my Amaleto I like omelettes I like is that I like like ham and cheese omelettes sausage and cheese omelettes are good. Amaleto Okay. Wow. I got a 1.4 million subscribers. Okay. I'll check it out. Thanks Edgar Allen Poe's one of my faves. Okay. What do you think a chucky the evil doll? I think it's something is a stupid series Uh, where where haven't you been? That you would love to go to question um I have no desire to go to any of those big cities. I couldn't care less about new york or los angeles stuff like that I live close to chicago when I try to avoid that at all costs Um, where have I where have I not been that I'd like to go I wouldn't mind checking out. I mentioned it earlier in the video too. I wouldn't mind checking out ireland Uh, mostly because you know, I have the the irish blood in me. Um my uh, the the uh My mother's side of the family Is irish in origin and obviously with this red hair. I mean I look at I think it would be kind of cool to walk to you to walk through ireland and maybe find a Find a pub somewhere and have a Guinness and just pretend like I am actually irish Uh, it'd be cool. And plus it would also be an opportunity for me to learn how to do an irish accent I've never been able to do one Which really stinks looking like this. I should be able to do an irish accent looking like this But I can't I just I just don't have the feel for it So it'd be nice to hang out in ireland and do that my wife wants to go to scotland. She would love to see that but Um, yeah, but that's that's probably it. I'm not really much into traveling. I don't really care about traveling I'm I'm really happy to staying at home and watching Netflix So but that would if you had if I had to choose one place to go that I've never been That would be it, but I wouldn't want to fly there. I hate flying. So I don't you can't drive to ireland Um, you can't take a train. I don't know how I'd get there. It's a boat And maybe you take a cruise. I I don't know So obviously after talking to you, I'm never going to make it to ireland. All right. So moving on If we could meet in real life, would you want to I don't know. Are you cool? Uh, that's one of the reasons that I'm going out and doing All the film festivals and the comic cons and stuff jacob. I I want to be able to meet you guys I'd love to to talk with you and just shake your hand and thank you for being you know part of the weirdo family It's because of you that this has exploded as it has Not only did I hit the 10,000 subscribers here on youtube, but Just recently I hit one million downloads on my podcast after just six months, which Just floors me that we've been able to do that that I that was not expected at all But it's because of you guys being so supportive. So yeah, I would like to I'd like to meet all of you You know at some time or another And so I'm hoping that we can add more and more events and possibly as I mentioned earlier in the video Live events where I might actually be able to do weird darkness like on stage or something I don't know how that would work. But um, that's the idea that the that the agency wants me to think about Um, but that would be kind of fun too. So but that'll that'll Give me more opportunities to just go more places and be an opportunity to see each other Um, so from london, like I said, yeah, if if if it works out Okay, let's see. Sorry Have I had any paranormal experiences? Yeah, you're late to the party. Um, I did mention One earlier in the video about sleep paralysis. I won't go through it again here But if you want to check out the video after after we're done here YouTube should save it and and upload it to my channel. So you'll be able to check it out later The worst mistake I ever made as a voice actor That is a great question. I don't know if I have an answer for you, but that is an amazing question The worst mistake that I ever made as a voice actor I'm gonna have to think on that one because I don't Worst mistake that I ever made as a voice actor I don't I I don't have an answer for you on that one I wish I did because I think that would be a fun answer whatever I could come up with but Let me think on that one Uh, I'll try to try to keep that in mind for the next q&a come back with that one if I or if I think of something I'll let you know later on in this video, but Worst mistake I made as a voice actor that would And I see the thing is I usually I edit out mistakes that I know are mistakes I edit those out before I send it to the clients So I I can't think I really don't know There has been if you look if you check out the I think it's the mind of marlar playlist on my youtube channel There's a there's a sort of a series I created called behind the microphone And I think I actually saved some of the mistakes that I've made during recordings There if you want to check them out, but I mean that's that's nothing like the biggest mistake I've ever made But that's not the closest thing I could give you. I'm sorry Carla says that this channel is fantastic. Thank you Carla. I appreciate it Vidcon You know, I thought about that Vidcon. You're talking about the youtube You know con type of thing and I thought about that But I don't really consider myself a youtuber because I don't really create videos all that much Obviously, this is an exception. I mean I do them occasionally when I kind of get the itch But these are mostly podcasts and so I don't know that Vidcon would I don't even know if they would welcome me And Vidcon tell you the truth I don't know if I'm what they're looking for even if even if I had 100,000 subscribers or even a million subscribers I don't know that it would be my cup of tea. I don't think I would be all that special there just because I don't make actual videos So, um, but I hadn't even thought about that tell you the truth till you just brought it up Uh, Pennsylvania, um, I've I've been in Pittsburgh before I would love to I'd love to go back Um, yes a live where darkness would be fun, bob I don't know how I would do it though As I was talking about earlier, you know, I pre-record everything for weird darkness It's not like I do it all in one in one fell swoop without any mistakes or anything because I'm just that good No, there are a ton of places that I have to edit out And then I go back later on and I add the effects and the music and everything else I don't know how I pull that off live without sounding like a complete moron Uh, so I don't know if maybe I would have to choose a few stories and then practice them And have them memorized or something for a live show Uh, I don't I don't know what I would do with it. So it's it's a great idea. I just don't know How logic logistically or technically I would pull it off Um, I have the ability on my laptop to play music as I'm talking And play certain sound effects and stuff But I mean, I don't think you guys want to come out to a You know to come see me on stage just sitting in front of a laptop and talking into a microphone I mean that that'd be kind of boring. So I don't know It's it's just an idea that the agency told me to think about and so I have to figure out what I want to do It I almost kind of see that as going back to stand-up comedy and the fact that I would have to memorize Like a whole show an hour hour and a half show And perform it on stage Um, just having a whole thing memorized it'd be weird darkness stories, obviously not stand-up comedy But I kind of see it as the same idea. So I don't know. I don't know. We'll see what happens with it It's it's still it's fun to think about regardless Would I rather meet kim jong-un or donald trump? Uh, probably donald trump only because I would have no idea how to speak to kim jong-un in his language Uh, say toy boat five times fast. Okay Toy boat five times fast. All right, uh, do what do we collect anything my wife and I collect anything? um No, my wife used to collect crystal, uh red red bird crystal was the was the but she hasn't really done that in a while Um, so we don't really have any any hobby like that Uh dat gta fan wants to know if I watch tv I don't really watch live tv The only thing that I might watch on television live is the news Other than that, it's all netflix hulu and amazon And the reason for that is just because my schedule does not work for regular tv Even if I was to go with the on-demand stuff, you know, like they like they have with Comcast xfinity I rarely get back to that in time to see the episodes that I've missed before they remove them. So um, the only way I actually have I'll binge watch netflix for like one afternoon But then like today I've watched 45 minutes of television and that's all I've had because I've been so busy all day long On the weekends, you know, maybe I'll binge I'll binge for a little while, but But yeah, it's all the on-demand stuff hulu netflix and amazon are the three that I spend Most of my time on definitely worth Definitely worth the uh the money if I could if I could cancel television entirely and still have my internet I would do it. Um, we haven't found a way to do that without paying more money, which is Strange, but that's the way the Comcast has it set up. So we kind of have to keep basic cable in order to keep the high speed internet um So if I won the lottery, what would I do? Uh, probably the same thing I'm doing now I don't think aside from paying off my bills, you know, you know getting out of debt entirely I don't know if I would change anything that I'm doing I I really enjoy what I do creating the weird darkness and daily dose of weird news I might I might stop doing the radio thing, you know, just because I I don't like the I don't like having to get up at a certain time of day Um, but I would still do voice work. Um, I love what I do I truly believe this is what god has given me to do for my career And he's given me the skills to do it skills and the talents. So I think it would be irresponsible and Disrespectful to god if I just gave it up because I had money So I think I'd probably continue doing what I'm doing I would want I would want to be generous though if we had every if everything was paid off And I would I'd like to be able to buy gifts for my family or Um buy more gifts for my family. We're just now finally digging ourselves out of debt to the point that we can Give once in a while, which is nice Um, but you know, if I see somebody in need, I'd like to be able to to help them out anonymously That would be great like buy groceries for a family. I know we're struggling or if we go out to eat somewhere Buy the buy dinner for that table across the restaurant. Just pay for their meal that type of thing I'd love to be able to do that if I if I was able to financially do it Um, am I still with facts first? So Matt D just got here. Yep still with facts verse I was gone for a short while because I was on vacation. That's all it was But you'll start hearing my voice on all of their videos again very soon In fact, I have a lot of scripts in my email right now that they're wanting me to voice Um I'm playing gta right now. What good for you? Uh looks sunny there It's not sunny. I don't know. Does that look? It's no, it's actually dark outside. I do have the light. I I have a circular light that That's uh behind me in order to in order for you to see me if I didn't have that on it It would be very you'd have the light behind me and it would be a shadow And I didn't I wanted you guys to be able to see me. So now it's actually dark here. It's 8 30 so Let's see here. Oh and you were asking where I was where we're northwest of Chicago where We're right on the almost right almost on the state line between Illinois and Wisconsin So what do you do at audio edit when read books? Are you talking about audible? Um, yes, when I narrate audio books, um Yes, I do my own editing I I kind of have to that they require that so I'll I'll voice a chapter and then edit it And then I also have to process it to make sure all the voice levels are Are even all the way across Before I send it out and I am really behind on one of those what you're my if you're a patron, you know that I've been I've been narrating a book from jason r. Davis called into darkness and I am so behind on that I've only got 15 chapters in there's like 30 some chapters and I don't think I've voiced another chapter In a couple months. I really need to get back on that. So I need to quit my job in order to have time to do my job Uh, okay Any plans for another vacation soon? No, I don't think I can afford one Uh, you do have skills.

Give it to charity Food for the poor is the charity that I that's my I personally Personally endorse and support. So give it to them Um, what kind of music do I listen to? I'm a product of the 80s. I'm not really a big fan of Modern music. So uh, in fact, I like Christian Christian hair bands From the late 80s and 90s. Believe it or not. I know that is sound that sounds so nerdish and geeky uh, but uh Some of my favorite bands are shout White heart. I like them. But I also like, you know, the the mainstream bands too journey. Um Night ranger, um, I really liked Richard Marx for a while But also, I actually have uh, Billy Joel's greatest hits. There is not a bad song on that that it's I love it Volume one and two is the one I have Um, also Jim Croci's greatest hits. I really liked Chicago Uh, I was an audio speed wagon fan for a short while. I am now starting to get into Blues though. One of the one of the authors that I uh narrate for quite often on Weird Darkness, Troy Taylor I I was reading on his facebook page once that when he's working and when he's writing stuff That he listens to the blues in the background. I thought huh, I wonder I I've always had a hard time listening to music And working at the same time has been too distracting to me But I checked out the blues and I really like it I will I I actually I will ask Alexa To play the blues and there's a there's a station on amazon that just plays the blues And I'm really starting to get into that now I'm not to the point that I can identify the artists or the names of the songs or anything. I just like the sound Uh, but that's what that's kind of what I'm doing, uh right now That's the that's the only music that the the newer music that I listen to would would be that I will say one of the uh One of the uh, the female singers on the blues channel is Beth Hart you can find her on youtube as well. She is phenomenal all right You guessed teleportation nice. All right Uh, clean the house. Thanks for the advice. Really enjoyed it. You're welcome, Steven Most complex word I've had to say for a client. I can't remember. I have had some Usually it's the the weird thing about uh complex words. Those are usually okay I'll be able to sound those out write them out phonetically. I'll be I'll be all right What usually trips me up Is regular words that somehow when you put them together with another word they just They don't mesh well. They're they're there's sort of a hiccup Like there's a a couple of consonants that sound too similar next to each other And I'm trying to separate them to make them sound like two different words Or there's two words that sound similar that are back to back Uh, sometimes I'll kind of get like dyslexic almost with words So instead of saying happy birthday, I'll say bappy hearth day, you know, uh weird stuff like that Uh, it's the it's the very simple things that usually trip me up And which is even worse because if it's something simple like that My brain tells me that I said it correctly even if I didn't And I usually won't catch it again until I go back and listen to it But even then I sometimes miss it because my brain knows what it's supposed to be What I what I was supposed to say and so it sort of like tells me Oh, yeah, I actually did say it correctly even if I didn't So quite often the client will have to come back to me and say why did you say it that way and I'll have to redo it But it's it's those small things that usually trip me up Um, I have been to Pennsylvania. I uh when I was doing stand-up comedy uh, I I went to a uh To a tv station in Pittsburgh and I was interviewed there Uh, just just that one time. It's the only time I've been there Do I ever do collabs with youtubers? That's what matt d wants to know Yeah, I've done I've done stuff with in fact the reason I even started weird darkness is I did a collab with um haunting stories on youtube Uh, and he's the one that kind of inspired me to even start start it Start doing a youtube thing to begin with. Um, I've done stuff with um with creepy news With um, who else have I done stuff with? You know, if you if you do a search on youtube for dara and marlar or for marlar how she'd probably be able to find them There's been there's been three or four um I'm sorry. I'm just I'm just having a hard time Uh coming up with it right now. I'm having the brain fart again. I have a hard time. Um Figuring out what I want to say Do I write any facts for scripts? Uh, no, I only read the ones that are given to me I don't have the I I don't own the channel nor do I write or research the scripts. Um They don't pay me to do that. I don't think I'd have the time if I wanted to Your maker. Thank you. Yes, Micah. Yes, I have done stuff with your maker that I appreciate. Yeah, uh, in fact That's a really nice guy. He really is awesome um, in fact, he's Very supportive of me. We've gone back and forth on youtube, uh, quite a few times and via email and uh, he's he's been a he's been He's really wanted to support me. Your maker is a really awesome guy. Thank you. I can't believe I didn't think of that um So I think we've pretty much run the gamut here of all the questions What's uh, what's so What do I dislike about voice acting? There's not much that I dislike about it except if I get a script that is not written from somebody That speaks English as their first language That is really frustrating. Uh, because they'll use You'll know what they're trying to say But they won't say it in a way that makes them sound educated And I never know if it's okay to change the script On the fly as I'm recording it or if they want it verbatim Uh, that's that's my biggest frustration as voice actor Usually though, that's not me playing a character or anything It's just doing a voiceover for a for a you know for like a corporate client or something Somebody that's creating a Kickstarter video or they're They're wanting to do a whiteboard video for some product And they want to have a video on facebook or youtube or something to advertise their product. That's usually that kind of thing But that's that's what my biggest frustration is is that so, um If you like christmas music christian music check out denis mclean It's that worship is that what denis mclean does? um I'll look for him denis mclean so Like I said, it's been a while since I've actually listened to christian music just for enjoyment I think that's another reason I don't listen to it so much It's because I was I was in christian radio for so long at christian music station When I listen to it now it feels like I'm working. It feels like the job So denis mclean. Okay. I see him there. Nobody told me destroy them Okay, I'll give him a look a little bit later on Um, would you ever do vlogs showing your daily life and your work? Maybe I don't know. I um I never really found those all that entertaining on youtube. I don't know why people get into those to tell you the truth Uh, but then there's a lot of things on youtube. I don't understand Uh, like the the bottle flipping thing or the the the various challenges that people do or the unboxing videos I I don't understand unboxing videos at all that makes no sense to me and they're so popular Uh, so I don't I could do a vlog, but I don't know I don't know. I I think I would rather concentrate on On the audio stuff, uh and make that better and do it more often than to do something like a vlog But that's just me so Bob says thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Thank you. It's it's been fun so far You ever thought of something and then it happens? No, no, I not I I wish I wish it had at least just once but no You ever wonder why I'm retracing messages because I misspelled lots of words. Yeah, I understand the album is called seek Okay, I love marlord channel. You gave some time for us. You're welcome. Jacob Do I have a favorite video that I have voiced? Uh Not really They they come and go so fast that uh, I there are that I've actually especially on fax verse I'll see a video and I will not remember voicing it. It's my voice. I know it's my voice and so I'll listen to it But I there's no memory whatsoever in my mind of me actually narrating that script Stuff comes to me so quickly and then goes out so quickly So if there was a favorite at one time, I don't even know if I'd remember it now. I'll tell you the truth So, uh, okay. Um, how much would I have to pay you to rap gucci gang? Well, I don't rap so I don't know if you could pay me enough Although if you pay me enough, I definitely try Um, thank you. Have a good night. God bless your brother. Well, thank you, rebecca.
