| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Drabblecast Hollow Wellness Special. I'm your ghost, |
| 0:16.0 | Silocibin Sandalhemp. Man, formerly known as Cryptkeeper, prior to my journey of self-discovery and insight. |
| 0:24.6 | It's been a while since Norm's had me guest hosts, after suffering that complete and total |
| 0:28.6 | nervous breakdown on the Halloween special years ago. |
| 0:31.6 | That was fun. |
| 0:32.6 | Norm told me I should take some time off after that, and also that he thought I was annoying, |
