0:00.0	Hold hands, close your eyes, it's half past midnight, and you're listening to the Ghost
0:24.6	story, guys. Welcome to the Ghost Story, guys. I'm Brennan Store. I'm Paul Bestol, and this is the
0:34.0	show where we talk about spooks, spectres, and all the other things watching us from the shadows
0:38.2	beyond the campfire. Some conversations only make sense after the sun has set, and this is most
0:44.0	definitely one. Thanks for tuning in, this is episode number 125, and we're coming
0:49.4	from that tiny mountain cabin we dream about, but can never quite reach. How are you doing, Paul?
0:55.0	I'm very well. How are you? I am good. I'm good. I've been back raw climbing. I'm still in a great

1:50.2	from sort of Northern-ish California. I know there's a lot of people who like to debate exactly
1:55.7	where Northern California starts, and I'm going to tell you right now, folks, whatever your position
2:00.0	is, we're wrong, but that's okay because I don't care. The reason we're doing it is because we
2:07.2	have a we have a musical guest, which we'll get to in a minute, but that sort of got us started,
2:11.8	and we have this massive Slack channel that Luke had been putting together about California as a
