0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Welcome to Spirits podcast, a boozy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. I'm Amanda. And I'm Julia.
0:37.8	And Amanda, it's wholesome time, baby. Oh, thank goodness. I've been looking forward to this one.
0:42.6	I also have been really looking forward to this. I, listen, I love a scary story. I love a creepy story.
0:48.9	I love everything that is spooky and cool. But I also do occasionally want my heart to be warmed by a wholesome story
0:57.8	or a wholesome urban legend. And I think our listeners very much delivered when we put out this
1:02.8	request a couple of months ago. Totally agree. It's also a couple of days after my least favorite

2:00.7	Like there's no way that
2:02.4	you can just like sneak a dog into a house. Maybe she just like bought a puppy. This person doesn't
2:07.0	strike me as like very, you know, uh, adopt don't shop. Ethics. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The point is I'm very
2:13.8	excited. I would actually love to start, Julia, with an update from Betty, whose my mom is a
