| 0:31.6 | Thank you. And now enjoy the episode. |
| 1:06.5 | Thank you. I'm sorry. I'm going to be. I'm Welcome the spirits podcast, a boozy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. |
| 1:10.0 | Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
| 1:10.6 | I'm Amanda. |
| 1:11.9 | And I'm Julia. |
| 1:16.1 | And this is a special episode of hometown urban legends. |
| 1:20.1 | This is our short and spooky episode. |
| 1:45.9 | Julia, I'm so excited about this because we sort of came up with an idea inspired in our last episode and are kind of getting right into it. And I love that here on spirits working for ourselves, making a podcast that we love. We can just be like, you know what? That sounds fun. Let's do it. That does sound fun. Let's just do it. And I think this was kind of inspired by the fact that we had someone ask us, oh, when you're looking for Urban Legends episodes, what are you looking for in terms of length? And I realized |

| 2:25.8 | like talk to me or be like, hey, like, do you guys want to blah, blah, this never happened |
| 2:29.6 | to us, I'm coming up with this scenario. |
| 2:31.5 | Just because I'm taller and have more mass than you. And then immediately I |
| 2:35.0 | look at you because you are the one making the decisions. And that is something that I greatly |
| 2:41.2 | value. And I think that, you know, the volume of text here ought not overshadow the fact that |
| 2:47.9 | there are some short and spooky and wonderful emails. |
| 2:52.8 | I 100% agree. |
