| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits podcast, a boosy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. I'm Amanda. And I'm Julia. And I'm Eric. And this is episode 284, your urban legends. |
| 0:23.0 | Folks, here's what just happened to me. |
| 0:26.2 | I was out walking the boys, lovely second or third really nice day that we're probably |
| 0:32.6 | going to have for the remainder of summertime season. |
| 0:35.3 | And I was like, I'm going to get the mail. |
| 0:37.3 | Put in the mailbox |
| 0:38.0 | myself, by the way. Oh, look at its homeowner right here. I went in there and I grabbed the mail. |
| 0:42.9 | And you know what was on the mail? A spider. Yeah. Oh. I mean, just a little fright before our |
| 0:48.9 | Urban Legends episode for me. A little friend. Then I was like, how do I get, because I was holding a leash with one hand, |

| 1:17.8 | He's just a bright friend. That would definitely surprise me, especially a spider that is not black. |

| 1:27.2 | jolt to your day, a little like caffeine in the veins, a little fighter flight to really just |
| 1:31.5 | like get the synapses open. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the thing that was concerning is it's a closed |
| 1:35.7 | mailbox. So he got in there somehow. Maybe he came with the mail. Maybe he came with the mail. Maybe |
| 1:39.8 | he came with a male. Maybe he came with a bear. Yeah. It's possible. Very possible. Or a little present because the spiders will make sure there's no like mosquitoes or nasty flies in your house. |
| 1:49.1 | That's true. |
| 1:49.7 | Yeah. |
