93. Vulture Mine

Is This a Ghost?

For our first official live Zoom event, where listeners could sit in on our weekly recording, we asked those listeners, "Do you want to hear a haunted doll story, or do you want to hear a haunted mine story?" They chose mine. And right or wrong, now you all get mine. YOU ALL GET MINE.

This is the story of the Vulture Mine. Come for the ghosts, stay for the Ricky Bobby rules of parenting, the fossils they find in Prussia, enough testosterone to shoot you to the moon, al dente quartz, kickin’ on the chicken boiler, the straightest and the f***ist down, the silly tree, a Monty Python sketch of a death, and Producer Ryan’s internet history/glory hole intervention.
