0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to Chatterbox, the Culep series, which features interesting conversations between native speakers about fascinating topics.
0:09.8	And joining me today as my co-host is, as always, Anna.
0:14.1	Hey there, Anna.
0:14.7	How's it going?
0:16.2	Hi, Andrew.
0:17.0	Hi, everyone.
0:17.7	Nice to see you.
0:19.2	Anna, today we are going to talk about a topic that is
0:22.9	actually very difficult to say. And listeners, you can repeat after Anna and I hear the name of this

0:41.3	listeners can try and repeat after you as well? Sure. Sixth sense. Sixth sense. It's that

1:11.8	even hard for me to say and Anna as well. But anyways, guys, that is our topic today. We're talking
1:17.9	about our sixth sense and that just means our sense of intuition in the previous chatterbox
1:24.2	episodes that have been released over the last few months. We've been talking about the five senses and the standard senses, right, like sight and hearing and feeling and touching and smelling. But in today's episode, we're talking about our sense of intuition, which is, yeah, what we call our sixth sense.
1:46.0	So we'll get into all of the details and we'll chat about that in just a moment.
1:49.7	But before we do, I want to let everybody know that there is a helpful study guide for this
1:54.5	episode available for all Culeps members that you can download by visiting our website.
