Hi Anna.

And hey, Andrew.

And hey, everybody else.

And welcome to our podcast.

Scary stories to tell on the pod.

It is a podcast about scary stories, urban legends, spooky things you tell us about.

And it is a low-paced, small-octane podcast about those subjects.

It is less like the doll Chucky got possessed by a serial killer,

and more like the doll Chucky got possessed by a producer for the Barefoot Contessa.

Wow.

You know?

You just take the knife and give it to the Barefoot contessa. Wow. You know? You just take the knife and like give it to the barefoot contessa. Yeah, meza plus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like helpful. Yeah, because at first time I was going to say the bearfoot contessa herself, but no, it's even, it's even less stressful than that. No, the barefoot contessa is a presence. Right, a real... We don't have

presents. She worked in the Nixon White House. And now she does this. Now she does this. It is so

funny. Andrew, did anything spooky happen to you this week besides fleeing? Um, besides fleeing.

Oh, that was two and a half weeks ago. Forget it. Old news. Here's, so here's the thing, yet unresolved. I thought this is, wow, I'm getting vulnerable on the pot. Did you see another fucking ghost? No, no, no, no. No, this is. I mean, I do, but like, you see too many guys. No, it's just that one... It's just the one naked ball band. But I, for the past month, have been like, I've got for sure a, like, tonsil stone in the back of my throat. I was like, I can feel something back there. I can't get it down, blah, blah. So I made an appointment with a family doctor. I go, he's like, I can't really see anything. I'm going to send you to an E&T. I go to the E&T. He's like, I can't really see anything. I'm like, I can feel it. Like, I was like, I can feel it with my finger. Yeah. And I'm like trying to, but it's like too far back. Did he put his finger in your mouth?

He did not. What the fuck? So then I was like, he put, he put the, the tongue depressor in the mouth. No. And then he skipped. Tung depressor didn't go to medical school. Then he skipped straight to. We can put a camera up your nose and down your throat. He was like, I can spray some, um, you know, some numbing stuff inside your nose. And I was like, I don't think it takes. Like, I just can I like, I was like, I'm trying to think of how I can show you it. You're like, do I put turn on the flashlight on my phone? I was like, I can touch with my finger. And he was like, okay.

He was like, would you like to do that?

I was like, I don't know what good that would do. Do you want to put your brain in my head so I can fix it? What the fuck? Put your fingers in my mouth. What are we doing? And then I was like, I was like, I have no other. It feels so stupid when you go to the doctor for something like, where you're like, it's not like a lump in the back of my throat. It's not like the stuff that is like the red flag stuff of like throat cancer or whatever.

But I'm like, it is a little thing that I can feel.

It feels like, like the other weird things I feel like I can, like when I'm using the muscles of my tongue, I feel feel. It feels like, like, the other really thing is I feel like I can, like, when I'm using the muscles of my tongue, I feel like I can feel it moving around, too. So I'm like, is it something that, am I just touching a part of my throat? And I'm like, this is weird. And it's, it's supposed to be there. But no, I can, like, feel like it's like food back there back there or something. And then the appointment ended, and he was like, well, he's like, you know, I, I know anytime someone comes in here being concerned about, you know, like a bump or something in their mouth or throat, they're always worried about cancer. And here's what I can say. I have no, I don't know.

I don't know if it's cancer or not. But if you have no other symptoms and if I can't see anything, then, you know, I don't know that it's, he's like, I think it's somebody to monitor. And if you want to do the nose thing, we can do that. And then I was like, well, I don't want to do the nose thing right now. But here's the thing, Anna.

I'm definitely going to go back and do the nose thing.
