| 0:00.0 | I got a story to tell every word of it true, except for the parts I made up for you, just some history that has been reworded into a mystery called the way I heard it. |
| 0:18.0 | Hello again. Yeah, it's happening. Another brief mystery for The Curious Mind with a short attention span. |
| 0:23.7 | Coming at you in mere moments, this one's called She Blew the Doors Off. It's episode number 357. |
| 0:29.5 | And man, this was fun to write. I hope this is half as much fun for you to listen to as it was for me to write because it's one of those |
| 0:39.7 | stories that happened so organically. I was on my way to the airport seven or eight months ago, |
| 0:44.3 | I guess, and the Uber driver was playing a song, maybe a little louder than was appropriate, |
| 0:51.7 | but it was a great song. So I actually asked him to turn it up, |
| 0:55.2 | and he did. And I heard something in the song, not for the first time, but I paid attention to it |

| 1:24.5 | to type. And when I looked up, I was no longer in SFO. I was in Newark. |
| 1:29.6 | And I had a story that I'm about to read for you. Side note, this story is being turned into a TV show. |
| 1:37.5 | I've mentioned the story behind the story before. It's basically the TV version of these short |
| 1:43.5 | mysteries. They air on TBN. And this one's going to be |
| 1:48.0 | in season five, which is being filmed right now. In fact, by the time you hear this, I'll be in |
| 1:53.3 | Colorado shooting the raps for season four. So check out the story behind the story at your leisure. Consider this an advanced |
| 2:04.4 | look at all the stories I write. I sort of workshop them here for you guys first. And this one's |
| 2:11.3 | called She Blew the Doors Off. It's an American Made story because it came to me in the back |
| 2:16.1 | seat of an American made car. My Uber driver |
