0:00.0	They came into our eyes because they'll see clear the sight of him, but they all heard me talk, and she came to her.
0:29.0	Welcome to Strange Familiars. How you doing in Alston?
0:53.0	I'm doing okay. It's a bright sunny day, which is not when we normally record.
0:58.0	We should be recording outside.
1:00.0	So we can get extra ambient truck noises.
1:04.0	On tonight's show, we are going to be tackling a story that you've wanted to do for a long time, Alston.
1:10.0	Yeah, and then when we did our Patreon episode about changelangs, every minute, I was like, we never did this story about Diane,
1:16.0	which is something that we've been working on sort of off and on for probably five or six years, probably since a very start.
1:23.0	I think it was in some of our first notes of stories to do for Strange Familiars.
1:28.0	Our friend Diane was a foundling. It's a pretty incredible story. She was left on the porch of an Amish farm.

1:55.0	I wish. I wish I was Shakira on so many levels.
1:59.0	No, I was, I think, a police detective. It's the episode titled The Gunk, I believe.
2:06.0	And then they did a Bunnyman episode recently, mostly talking about Bunnyman Bridge and the Bunnyman down there in Virginia.
2:13.0	Monster Fuzz, you can check them out wherever you get podcasts, monsterfuzz.com.
2:19.0	The episode in which I'm a character ended on a kind of cliffhanger. So I don't know what happened. Who knows what happened.
2:26.0	Before we get into Diane's story, I want to thank our patrons. Thank you so much patrons. Thank you for everything you do.
2:32.0	If you want to help support Strange Familiers and get extra content, you can become a patron at Patreon. Patreon.com.
2:39.0	Slash Strange Familiers. There's different levels of support there, but all of our patrons get extra content.
