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,

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
