| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits podcast, a boosy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. |
| 0:04.4 | Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
| 0:07.7 | I'm Amanda. |
| 0:08.3 | And I'm Julia. |
| 0:09.3 | And this is episode 214, your urban legends, a month-long extravaganza. |
| 0:13.2 | Pets and animals edition. |
| 0:14.4 | Pets and animals, we promise there are no sad stone dog stories in this one. |
| 0:19.9 | There is a little bit of animal death. So if that is not your |
| 0:22.7 | jam, maybe skip it until you feel like you can listen to it. But it is very sweet and a lot of fun, |

| 1:14.7 | Audra, Drew, Francis, Jack Marie, Key, Laude, Mark, Morgan, Necrowancy, Renegade, and BME Up Scotty. |
| 1:20.0 | Just for your consideration. |
| 1:21.1 | You know, I think, get some audience testing in and see, |
| 1:28.5 | see what works best. I think we're going to have to work on it for sure. But in the meantime, |
