You enter the cave and there you see an old man surrounded by two fires.

He says to you, take this.

It's dangerous to go alone.

You look there in the palm of his hand, you see it glistening in the firelight.

It's a spoon.

And you say, how will this help me?

And he says, I'm sorry, I gave my sword to the last guy.

But if you're right in any serial, you'll be prepared.

Hello, and welcome to the empty bowl, a meditative podcast about serial.

My name is Justin McAroy and I'm a serial enthusiast.

And my name is Dan Gubair and I am King Vitamins, Royal serial taste tester.

This show is an opportunity for you to relax, for you to allow your mind to focus on serial.

My daughter came to me last night, she had trouble sleeping and she said, I'm thinking

about the past and everything in the future and everything in the past.

And I said, yes, you are seeing child, I understand this.

And so for all the adult Charlie's and kid Charlie's and in between Charlie's out there,

this is your opportunity to have something to think about.

It is delicious and simple and crunchy and sweet, usually.

I don't know.

All those are variables, I guess.

We got some dangerous ones today.

Yeah.
