Darkest Surveys Ever

40 minutes of some of the darkest surveys listeners have ever filled out. No guest. No interview. No theme music. A few have been read on-air previously but the majority have never been read because Paul felt they were too heavy to put in the show. Well episode #666 is an exemption. We doubt anyone will make it thru all 40 minutes but why not give it a shot?
