There's something that happens when you're sitting around family, maybe at a holiday dinner,

maybe just an ordinary afternoon, and someone leans in and says, did I ever tell you about?

And just like that, you're pulled into a family story, so specific, so detailed, you never think to question it. It just becomes true.

Until one day, you hear it again and wonder, wait, is that actually what happened? That's where

the new podcast, Family lore, begins. It takes those stories, the ones passed down, polished, protected, and gently

starts to pull at the edges, not to ruin them, but to understand them. In this special

presentation, you'll hear a preview of Family Lore Episode 1, the unsinkable Margarita Sames. Yes, that margarita. The one that shows up at

celebrations, vacations, sometimes Tuesdays. But like any good story, it comes with a question.

Who actually invented it? Family lore follows one family's claim that their aunt created the legendary cocktail.

As you listen, search for family lore wherever you get your podcasts.

And when you're done, maybe call someone in your family.

Ask them to tell that story again.

And this time, ask questions.

I want to tell you a quick story that might be the true origins of this podcast.

It was a hot summer afternoon in Texas, and I was about 12 years old.

I was spending some time at my grandfather's house, and at some point he said he wanted to show me something I might find interesting.

So he went to his office and he took out a small wooden box, a little bigger than a shoebox.

He opened the lid and inside were three pistols.

One was the standard issue Colt 45, which he carried in World War II.

The second was a German Luger, which he got from someone who wouldn't be needing it anymore.

And the third was a Colt 45, 1917, a big, hefty, six-shot revolver.

I knew the story behind the first two, but I didn't know anything about the revolver.
