SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.Dan switches it up this week with seven small tales he discovered in an old book. It's a fun and spoopy ride! Lynze takes us to St. Augustine and India. Both tales have twists and turns and make for a great episode!5th annual Bad Magic Giving Tree! This is our chance to collectively give back to our own community! Like all of the previous years, we will be using the December Patreon donation to kick this off. We estimate that to be about $13k. If any fans would like to donate to the cause, as they have in years past, we are, again, only accepting Amazon gift cards. If you would like to donate, go to amazon.com and purchase a gift card. When you fill out the box of whom to send this gift card to, simply enter the following email address: givingtree2023@badmagicproductions.com. On Tuesday, November 21st, at noon PT, we will accept applications on our website, badmagicmerch.com. THIS WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY WAY TO SUBMIT YOUR FAMILY. This year, the first 30 families to apply will receive help. The submission form will be live on our website until we have 30 families. Once 30 families have applied, the application will not allow anyone to fill it out. It will automatically close. Last year, the slots filled up in less than 5 minutes. If you will be at work during this time, you can ask a family member or friend to sign up on your behalf. If you have received from the giving tree in the past, please allow space for others to receive help here. We will shop and send gifts from December 1st through December 17th.We look forward to bringing our community together once again to love and support one another.Standup: If you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here and possibly see Lynze in the crowd (she is always happy to say HI!), get on over to dancummins.tv for ticket links to shows. You can find Dan in Chicago, Lexington, and Virginia Beach! A reminder that Dan is not touring in 2024, so this is your last chance to see him!Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!**Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!**Please keep doing so.

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened.  Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
