Ghost stories are cute… until your dog stares into the kitchen like he’s seeing Grandpa, your phone rings from inside the house, and Brenda swears her cousin’s friend barely escaped a guy in the backseat. In this episode, we raid the rumor mill of urban legends—what’s real, what’s cautionary cosplay, and why we still check the backseat like it’s our job.
We’re dialing into:
👶 The Babysitter & the Man Upstairs → “Have you checked the children?” and the real history that still gives us landline PTSD
🚗 Killer in the Backseat & Headlight Flashing → good-Samaritan instincts vs. “marked for death” lore
🕳️ The Keyhole (Creepypasta) → the one where curiosity looks back at you
🏚️ Woods, basements, and attics → why characters always go in there (and why we shouldn’t)
🧠 Stranger danger, optimism bias & hero complexes → the psychology that keeps these stories alive
Plus: Bath & Body Works candle math, TJ Maxx tangents, Adele at the Super Bowl (don’t @ us), Duffy’s sixth sense, and the eternal debate: run for help or grab a weapon and guard the kids?
Got a hometown legend—or your cousin’s roommate’s VHS tape that “really happened”? Slide into our DMs or email us (no mirrors, please). Rate, review, and follow so the algorithm demons don’t drag us to the basement.
A calm, grounding welcome that rejects “new year, new you” energy and invites listeners to breathe, settle in, and show up exactly as they are.
A preview of January’s themes—identity shifts, seasonal funks, spicy rants, and the joy of not having it all together.
A warm, humorous reminder to follow, review, and share the show—because community keeps the messy conversations going.
A soft motivational pause that reminds listeners growth doesn’t have to be loud, productive, or linear to count.
A gentle send-off reminding listeners that growth can be quiet, boundaries can be subtle, and change doesn’t need an audience.
