Intuition Is The Door That Locks First

• Emily Hogan

Share episode

A tech spiral, a cherry Alani in a martini glass, and one hard pivot into the stories that make your pulse quicken. After losing days of footage and wrestling with a stubborn hard drive, we lean into a theme that kept surfacing all week: control what you can, and listen when your body says run. That thread connects every beat here, from a late-night parking lot encounter paid in “winning lottery tickets,” to the moment a hotel stranger somehow knew a room number he shouldn’t, to the sprint for a deadbolt with footsteps closing in.

We unpack why intuition is not superstition; it’s your fastest risk detector. You’ll hear the exact choices that lowered danger in real time: moving toward light and people, looping in staff, stalling without explaining, and letting “no” be the final sentence. To sharpen those instincts, we break down high-signal true crime docuseries worth your time: See No Evil for the power of CCTV, Web of Lies for online traps and grooming tactics, and a handful of shows that reveal how danger hides in plain relationships.

Listener tales bring the lessons home. A small-town bank robbery reframes a parent’s caution. A 1970s hitchhiking plan veers off course thanks to a diner waitress who steps in, proving that strangers can be guardians when systems fail. And the most chilling submission comes with door-rattling immediacy: keys shaking, a lock catching, and a life possibly saved by seconds.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, cheers guys. Emily, Emily to Gremly here with another solo episode. I want to welcome any new listeners we have and welcome back all the returning listeners. Thanks for tuning in. This week's episode drink. I did not really have time to be creative this week. I'll explain more in a minute. This is just a cherry cherry slushy? What is it? Cherry Kiss? Not sure what the name is. It's the cherry Alani. And it's like such a pretty little color. I decided to put it in this little, I don't know, is it a martini glass? I guess. A little martini glass just to like romanticize my life a little bit. Also, I need the energy because it's been a week. So the reason it's been a week is because I had some technical difficulty issues. You would think I would like kind of have this down by now because I've been doing it for almost a year. But I um I kind of screwed myself. So this was like months and months and months and months ago. I was running out of storage on my computer. So finally I decided, okay, I need to get an external hard drive to transfer my files over, which is like super basic, a basic thought. It just took me a while to have the thought. I transferred my files over. I lost some things, but you know what? Whatever. It's fine. Then a few months ago, I wasn't able to transfer anything over from my computer to my external hard drive because my computer was so overloaded with files. I didn't transfer them quick enough. It I it was my mistake. I don't think actually I lost anything. It was just a whole process. I had to go to the Apple store, and the guy looked at me like I was an idiot. It's fine, whatever. So I was like, okay, from now on, every time I finish an episode, I'm gonna transfer it over. And that's what I've been doing. What I didn't take into account is that now that I'm doing the content creation, the videos every single day for 75 Hard. Also, I was making a almost like a week in my life. It was gonna be the making of a podcast episode so I could show the process of how it gets done. The prep of the episode, the filming of the episode, the editing of the episode, all that. I had everything filmed, set. I was really excited to post it and show you guys. And it was, I had this whole grand plan for it. So I go to transfer my files from my computer to my external hard drive, and it starts doing that thing where it won't transfer over. And I was like, oh my god, I'm having the exact same problem I had a few months ago. And I did not want to have to go back to the Apple store because, like, God forbid, that guy was working again and he sees me. Not that I'm memorable. Because I said this to my boyfriend, and he was like, What makes you think he's gonna remember you? I I get it, okay? And it seems a little self-absorbed, but still, what if he was like, Oh, there's that idiot again? So I was really trying hard not to have to go back to the Apple store. I ended up losing three days, yeah, three days of footage for 75 hard, and I wasn't able to post those either because TikTok changed ownership. So the videos, the two videos I had posted already were getting two views. First, they got zero views, then they got two views, and I was like, Well, what the hell's going on? It was a whole kerfuffle on TikTok, whatever. I won't go into how I feel about that, but I so I was waiting to post basically, and I lost those videos, so I'm very upset because it looks like I took a three-day break, which I did not, and I also lost all of my footage for the week in my life podcast vlog. I had a moment about it. I got upset and I had a little Menti B. I had some tears come out, and then I was like, it's time to let it go. Just I'm gonna restart it. So I did not film a making of this episode. I will be doing that in the following week or weeks. I don't know. I'm trying to I need a new system on how to get all my files over. That it was just a whole thing, and I'm not the most tech savvy gal out there. So I said it already. I am planning on making a podcast vlog because I want to put more out there other than just like the clips that I post on social media. So it's coming. It's just, you know, I'm having some problems and I need to I'm like let it go. I'm one of those people that like like if there's something wrong, I kind of want to like beat it to death and like try to fix it. And I had to really just like let my computer settle. I had to delete the files. Then it was still showing that I had no storage left, and I was like, but I just deleted all these files. What the hell? I had to put it away for a night and just like turn it off, let my computer like, I guess, reset. When I turned my computer back on the next day, it was fine, but then I had lost all my stuff, so it's okay. Um, this was another week I wish I could drink, and I didn't, so I feel very firm in my decision of doing 75 hard, but the universe, she's testing me, and uh yeah. So vlog is coming. I did not skip days of 75 hard, and pray for me. Okay, guys. So this is gonna be a continuation of last week's episode, kind of a continuation. This is gonna be part two from the listener Sarah. She said that she wanted to do a true crime and ghost story episode. We did ghost stories last week. We're doing true crime this week. So last week I started off with Gremlin questions. I'm gonna do the same thing this week, but what I will say is I had said that Sarah sent in a question and I put it to last week's episode. She kind of asked a two-part question and I cut off the question so it just fit that episode. I'm gonna read the second part of her question so it can fit this part of the episode. Last week, she had asked me if I had had any ghost experiences or if I believe in ghosts or other dimensions or anything like that. I gave my answer on that last week. This week, Sarah, this is her was basically the second part of her question. She asked me, here, let me do like the lead-in part of it. That way it doesn't sound like it's just like a random sentence. So Sarah said, Thank you so much for taking my suggestion. I'm so excited I was able to contribute a little part of it. I actually found your podcast through a true crime episode you titled, Do We All Work with Murderers? Now you've become a weekly listen along with other podcasts, such as My Favorite Murder, also known as MFM, and Morbid. Since you are dedicating another episode to true crime, I was wondering if you have ever found yourself in a situation that could have had its own dateline episode. Signed Sarah. So the one that really came to my mind with this question and with it being the true crime episode was this happened years ago. And this is kind of like in response to her asking if I found myself that could have been its own dateline episode. I could have, yeah. So this happened several actually, not even several years ago. I don't know why I said that. This happened like maybe like 10 years ago at this point. So it was back when I was working at a club. So I would get off of work, like let's say I would like be on my way home like three. I was driving home. I had made a mental note to myself that I didn't have any water at the house. And I live in Los Angeles, so I'm not drinking the tap water because I'm not trying to be patient zero of some new disease. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna stop at a store that is open. Usually that would be like a CVS or a riot aid, one of those stores, and get just like a gallon of water until I can make my way to the grocery store. So I stop at my local ride aid, R-I-P Rite aid. It doesn't exist anymore. So I parked as close as possible to the entrance, you know, given the fact that there's like handicapped spots right there. And I'm get out of my car and I see kind of in the shadow, there was a man standing there. And immediately I was like, oh my god. But there was light, like the door was like right there, and I'm like, crap, like what do I do? So I'm like, all right, the security guard's right there. I can see him. So I was like, I'm just gonna make a make a run for it almost. I don't know. He walks up to me as I'm walking and I'm like dead set on the doors, and he says, excuse me, and I was like, oh crap. So I was like, hi, as I'm like kind of walking, and he's like, Oh, I'm so sorry to trouble you. I was wondering if you could give me a ride. And I was like, No, I can't. I'm sorry. And he's like, No, listen, like my phone is dead, I don't have my wallet on me. And then he was like, I have he's like, but to pay you for your trouble, I have these winning lottery tickets. They won't cash them for me because it's you know past the time that they're allowed to do so. So I'm kind of stuck. And I was like, no, I'm sorry, I I can't. And I just like walked in, but I got like that like sinking feeling where I was like, Oh god, like please be gone by the time I'm like cashing out with my gallon of water. So I go in and the security guard's like, Hey, what did he say to you? And I told him, I relate the story, and he was like, Oh, I don't know. I was like, I was like, he asked for a ride. I was like, I'm not gonna give him a ride, and he's like, Yeah, don't. He's like, he's kind of just been like hanging around. And I told him about the lotto tickets, and he was like, he never came in asking to cash lotto tickets. And I was like, Okay, like this guy's weird. So I get my water and I look and I see the guy still standing there, and he's standing not next to my car, but near my car. I would have to pass him to get into it. I get my water and I'm like looking and I'm like, he's still there, he's still there. So then I'm just like going around the store, just like pretending like I'm looking for something. I think they knew what I was doing. Um, but the cashier was an like a lady who was like, I don't know, in her 50s. It's not like she was in a position to help me. So finally I was like, all right, I'm gonna go back and like look towards the door. And I see that I see like police lights, like the red and blue lights. So I was like, okay, well, perfect. So I pay really quick and I walk out because I'm like, all right, the police are there, he's not gonna do anything. And as I'm walking out, he I hear the man, he says, Oh, her, it's her. And I was like, I got like cold. I was like, oh no. And they're like, excuse me. I was like, yes. And he's like, Do you know this man? I was like, no, I don't. He's like, well, he's saying that you guys know each other. I was like, no, I don't know him. I came in to buy water, he was standing right there, and he asked me to give him a ride. And they were like, Are you giving him a ride? I was like, No, I was like, I don't know who he is. And they're like, Okay, and I could see them like talking to him, and then they like kind of like are like patting him down almost. So I was like, Oh my god, like, is he like a murderer? Like, what like what is he wanted? Like, I don't know. And they're like, Are you sure you don't know him? I was like, I promise. I was like, you can ask the security guard. I told him what happened. I was like going on and on about it. Like then I started to get nervous, so I started to give away like every single detail of what had happened within the past like 10 minutes. And he was like, Okay, he's like, you know, not to give ride to sh a ride to strangers, right? And I'm like, Of course I do. That's why I was standing in there. I was like, I just needed this water, and I've been in there for 10 minutes because I was scared to come out. I'm like, I don't know who he is. And they're like, okay, ma'am, well, you have a good night. And then I got in my car and I drove away, and I was like, never again am I gonna stop at fucking right aid for water in the middle of the night ever again. I don't know who that man was. I don't know if he was wanted, I don't know if he he got arrested. I don't know anything. All I know is it if I would have given him a ride, could something bad have happened? Probably. I don't know. So that is my possibly could have been a dateline episode story. Also, I noticed when I was reading, going through the submissions, a lot of these stories kind of come back to like the same theme of like the story I just told, where it was like they you really need to trust your gut and your intuition. If if that little voice in your head is telling you something's wrong or something's not right, or possible danger, it's better to be safe than sorry. Like you really need to listen to your intuition because even if, let's say, you're completely safe, it's better to have people think you're being a little paranoid than put yourself in a dangerous predicament where something bad could happen to you. That's I feel like kind of like the theme we're going with with this episode. Our second Gremlin question comes to us from Marty. And Marty says, Can you tell us your favorite crime doc series you have watched? I'm in need of some good recommendations. Okay, so I made a little list here because I knew I was gonna end up forgetting. The main way I feel like I find these doc series is I go on HBO Max and I you can browse by channel. So I go browse by channel and then you find the ID channel, which stands for investigative discovery, and that's where they have like all the crime shows and this and that. So I went on my account to see what I've watched and to see which ones I liked out of the ones I've watched, because I've watched a lot of them. Also, the this list is a little long. It makes it sound like I do nothing but watch TV, but you also have to realize that a lot of these were watched during the pandemic. And during the pandemic, I didn't work for like a year and three months, so I had nothing better to do with my time than watch TV and stare at the wall. So the first one, actually, these are kind of gonna be in alphabetical order too. So the first one is called Evil Lives Here, which is about people who don't know that they are living with killers. Fatal Vows, it's kind of self-explanatory. It's spouses who end up killing each other. Actually, that one made myself and my boyfriend like look at each other weird because there's there's some interesting stories out there. Um, Fear Thy Neighbor, which also had a spin-off series, Fear Thy Roommate. The stories are about living next to a crazy person or living with the crazy person. Um, House of Horror Kidnapped, again, self-explanatory. People who've been kidnapped, they're usually telling their story about what happened. Uh Married to Evil, again, self-explanatory. This one, the next one only had, I looked and it only had one season, and it I think it only had six episodes. It's called No One Can Hear You Scream. That one made me nervous. I think it's the one I maybe have watched the most recently. It's about people who were either almost murdered or murdered in either they live in a really desolate area or they were taken to a really desolate area where there's no one around to save them or call the police or anything like that. That one I didn't like and made me happy I don't live in the middle of nowhere. And these three are my favorites. So the first one is Your Worst Nightmare. That one, it's not really specific to like a certain situation. It's just, you know, scary stories about people have found themselves in situations. And some of these, it's the person was killed, or the person is alive and they're telling their own story. Also, most of these are told like with either the victim, the victim's family, the police who are investigating the case, um, the lawyers who were involved, like the district attorney or the ADA. They're usually talking in an interview perspective, and then there's reenactments of the scenes that they're talking about. So that's the first one. The second one is see no evil, and those are crimes that were solved with the help of CCTV footage. That one is really good, and I think that one has the most seasons that you can like binge watch, and I believe it's still on. Like a lot of these, they have like maybe like a five-season run, and then it stops, and then they like move on to producing like a different show. But that one I think it's still going, and that one's a good one. The last one is called Web of Lies, and that series is about crimes that were committed like through the internet, and a lot of them take place, you know, back in like the AOL days or the MySpace days, where you know, meeting someone on the internet was kind of new, so people didn't realize the dangers of it. And of course, a lot of the stories are, you know, girls who think that they've met like a cute boy on the internet and they go to meet him, and really it's like this scary older man who has nefarious plans. I will say, and I wrote it down because these two episodes have stayed with me. I am not gonna retell them because I am not gonna do it justice, nor do I want to be disrespectful. And they're both from season five. Season five, episode three, dangerous games, and season five, episode four, California Scheming. I think about those episodes a lot because it was just the story stayed with me and what happened afterwards. It was it just they're good episodes, they're terrible episodes because of what happened, but it was those two cases, they stayed with me. And if I'm gonna recommend any of them, it's gonna be that. I think C No Evil and Web of Lies, they're my top two recommendations. So, Marty, hopefully that helps. Hopefully, you haven't seen all of those and you're like, I already know about those. So hopefully those are good recommendations for you. And now let's just get into our true crime submissions here. We have a most of these are anonymous and a couple of them are signed. Okay, and the first one is anonymous. Anonymous says, I'm not sure if this counts as a true crime, but I would hate to think what could have happened. I was on a business trip in Florida and would be there about a week. On the fourth night, I went to the hotel bar and restaurant to have dinner and a drink. While I was sitting waiting for my meal, a man sitting at a table across from me waved and asked if I was dining alone. He was handsome and well dressed, so I said yes, and he asked if he could sit with me. I accepted and he brought over his wine glass and breadbasket. We chatted for the entire meal. He said he was in town for business as well, and it was his first time ever being in Florida. The dinner ends and he asks if we can continue the night upstairs in my room. I politely decline and tell him I have an early day tomorrow and maybe I'll see him tomorrow night. He states he is not staying in the hotel. I recoiled immediately and began wondering why he was even in the hotel if he wasn't staying there. I say my goodbye and book it to the elevator. I found it odd but just decided to shower and go to bed since I actually did have an early morning. Around two hours later, I'm in bed with the lights off, TV on, and going over my notes for the following day. I hear a small knock on my door and then hear my name being called. It was the man from dinner. I stayed silent. Then I hear it again. I never told him my room number. I hear the door handle jiggle a little and then nothing. I called the front desk and they sent security up, but nothing was really to be done. I was frightened the entire night and didn't sleep. The next morning I called my boss to tell her what happened, and she was horrified. She set me up in a different hotel for the night and cut my trip short. I don't know what would have happened if I allowed him up after dinner, but now I am extremely cautious of absolutely everyone. You never know. Anonymous. Okay, starting off strong with the intuition. Yeah. Also, okay, I had this thought. It seems like he didn't follow you like to your room. You didn't tell him what room you're staying in. In my head, I thought, like, does he have an in with the hotel? Like, he knows someone and he asked, like, what room you were staying in, and they told him. I don't know. I that's immediately what I thought. That's terrifying. A lot of the episodes from the shows I just recommended. There have been a lot of them where like something, like somebody breaks into your hotel room or they work for the hotel. I don't know. It's just, it makes you like definitely think twice about it. I'm really glad you never let him up. Yeah, and he like for him to say he wasn't staying in the hotel, like, why are you there? Very odd. All right. The next one is from Michelle. Michelle says When I was about five years old, my dad and I were in a bank that was held up at gunpoint and robbed. I grew up in a small town in Missouri, and my parents banked at the local town. Town bank. It wasn't a fancy chain that had a lot of security or panic button like you see in the movies. On a Saturday morning, we stopped by the bank on the way home from one of my T-ball games, and my dad and I went inside while my mom stayed in the car with my two-year-old brother. I don't really remember much, but I heard yelling, and my dad hugged me and covered my eyes. Everything happened so fast, but they must have handed him whatever he was asking for, and then he was gone. Luckily, no one was hurt, just really shaken up. It became a really big deal because nothing like that ever happened in our little town. The robber ended up getting caught, and my dad helped ID him since he was able to get a good look at him. There was a long period of time when my mom became paranoid of the bank and would not let us kids go inside. Now that I'm a parent to a young child, I understand her fears. Signed Michelle. You know, I'm not a parent, but I think I would have definitely be paranoid. I don't know about like all banks, but like for sure that bank. And yeah, if there's no like special security or ramped up security, I would probably think twice about it. Also, I feel like this is like a really common sentence. Um, nothing like that ever happened in our little town. You always think like it won't happen there, and then it does, and it like shocks the community. There's evil people everywhere. So I think no matter where we live or where we are, we always just need to be like on alert because you just never know. Okay, this next one is from Angela. Angela says this isn't my story, but a story my aunt told me several years back. In the late 70s, when her and my mom were around 15, 16 years old, they decided they were going to hitchhike to a concert about 50 miles away. My grandparents were said to be hippies and didn't really have rules for the kids. Sounds like the 70s. A car picked them up and was able to take them about halfway to their destination, dropping them off at a truck stop with a diner. They decided to go into the diner and wait for a possible ride. While sitting in the diner, they ordered something small and were then approached by two younger, good-looking boys. After talking a bit with the boys, they said they were headed to the exact same concert so they could give them a ride. They were excited and said they were going to run to the restroom and then they could get going. While they were washing their hands, their waitress hurried in and said, You can't go with them. Confused, they asked why, and she said, I can't repeat what I overheard, but they are not planning on taking you to that concert and you are both in danger. She told them to stay in the restroom and she would make sure the men left and that she would personally drive them herself. They did what they were told, and then the waitress came back and ushered them to her car while the cook looked out to make sure they made it through the parking lot safely. While on the way to their destination, the waitress, who she said was probably a little older than their mom, scolded them about hitchhiking and made them promise her that they would take the bus home. Sure enough, they kept their promise, and my aunt said after that they didn't hitchhike anywhere ever again. Unfortunately, my mom passed around seven years ago, so I wasn't able to give her any grief over her adolescent mistake. But now it makes sense why she was so protective over myself and my sisters while we were growing up. Signed Angela. So I obviously, you know, I was born in the 90s. Hitchhiking was for sure not a thing that I was ever growing up thinking I was gonna ever do. In my head, it was scary. Like, that's how you get like kidnapped. I don't know. But this kind of made me think, this kind of made me think of two things actually. The first one being um, it now makes sense why she was so protective over myself and my sisters while we were growing up. I remember growing up, like my mom was extremely protective and uh I'll say she was extremely overbearing and protective. The overbearingness was a little much, but now that I'm an adult, I can see I was very like, I want to go here, why can't I go there? Well, it was a little much and uh probably not necessary to take it to the degree she took it to. I will say I wasn't really aware of the dangers of the world when I was, you know, 15, 16. So I can understand why she was so overly protective about it. I think that comes with age, where I'm like, okay, like I can see it. Would I do it the same way she did? No. But I can understand why she was the way she was to a degree, to a degree. The second thing was just saying like the grandparents were hippies. I was told this story by my nana who she was born in 1950. She was a hundred percent a total hippie, like she had like the flowy dress and the long hair, and you know, was just very like peace and love and you know, hitchhiked to concerts. I'm sure she did. But there was a story she told me it was her and a group of friends. I'm not sure how many of them there were, but like basically the way she told it was her and her friends, they all piled into this VW bus and drove from here, Los Angeles, to San Francisco. They went to, I don't know, what some concert, couldn't tell you which one. She went to like so many of them, but they were hanging out in this San Francisco park and went to the concert, hung out, who knows what they did, went home. And about like a week or so later, she said she was reading the newspaper, and the same park that they were in the week after they had left, that was the park where the zodiac killer killed that couple that was just like lounging in the park. So she was like, Oh my god, like I was where the zodiac killer could have been, and blah, blah, blah. It it had, you know, it was a week later, so it's really not like that titillating. But yeah, it just kind of like reminded me of it. And I wish she was around to where I could ask her more of these stories because I'm sure she has a hitchhiking story. I'm sure she had a lot of stories where you know she could have been sitting here on the episode talking about her true crime tales, but that definitely reminded me of it. So thank you, Angela, for that submission. And I'm sorry that your mom passed, but I'm sure she was really annoyed that your aunt was telling you this story because she probably didn't want you to know about it. Okay, and the last submission is Anonymous. And Anonymous, the way you wrote this, um, scared me. Anonymous says, I was returning home from work at around 11 p.m. The porch light was on and my keys were in my hand. Halfway up the walk, that feeling hit, the sudden certainty that I wasn't alone. Not a thought, a knowing. I could feel eyes on me even though I couldn't see anyone. The hair on my arms lifted, and my steps sped up without me telling them to. Then I heard it. Footsteps behind me. Too deliberate to be an echo, too fast to be a coincidence. I didn't look back, I was focused on the front door lock. The footsteps quickened as soon as I reached the door. I could hear breath now ragged and close. Panic exploded through me. I slammed the key in, twisted, and shoved the door open. I fell inside and threw my weight against the door, slamming it shut as the person hit it again hard and harder. The door rattled, the knob jerked violently, once, twice, like whoever was out there believed force alone could undo it. I screamed as I fumbled for the deadbolt, my hands useless with fear. When it finally slid into place, there was one last crash against the door, and then footsteps pounding away in the dark. I immediately was searching through my bag for my phone and finally found it to call 911. The police came, but with no clues to work with, there was nothing to be done. I hadn't seen his face and couldn't give them a sketch. A few days later, a woman down the street was assaulted in her home. Was it the same man? I don't know. Anonymous. Yeah, I saved the scariest for last. When I read it, I got creeped out, and in reading it now, I got creeped out again. And I'm supposed to go for my walk later. I will be waiting until I'm not alone, that's for damn sure. Um, this was so well written. It felt like I was reading like an Edgar Allan Poe poem where it was just like each sentence just like kind of hits ya with something new. Very well written, anonymous. And yeah, luckily you made it into your home and the other person didn't make it inside. Okay, I have the creeps now. And last week I left it on kind of a happier note, but you can't leave it on a happy note with the true crime episode. It's just it's not feasible, it's not possible. So that was our last submission. I will be doing another episode like this. I had said it last week that this could become like a series that I do every now and then. And if listeners had sent in their stories after I had filmed or after it aired, that I would be doing another episode like this. I do still have some ghost and spooky stories in my inbox. And since the episode aired, I have more of those. So the same is gonna go for the true crime episode. If I didn't read yours on here, don't worry, it will be read on a future episode. And if you're gonna send in your true crime story after this has been filmed or you just heard the episode and you want to send in your own, send those in and they'll be read on future episodes. If you would like to follow myself and the podcast, you may do so on Instagram and TikTok at Emily to Gremlin Pod. You can also watch this episode and almost all the past episodes on YouTube, Emily to Gremlied Pod on YouTube. Next week, we're going back to our original format where we will be reading Gremlin stories, gremlin guidance, and gremlin gossip. I haven't locked down that episode yet. I've been perusing my inbox, but if you have your own Gremlin story, you need Gremlin guidance, or you have a juicy piece of Gremlin gossip, make sure to email that in. You can email me at Emily to Gremlin Pod at gmail.com. We also have a brand new call to action. This is from Leah. Leah says, Hi Emily, I am one of your German listeners. Ah, I'm so excited to hear from you. While I grew up in the United States, I have lived in Germany for three years. I have an idea for a possible episode you could do. I would love to hear an episode, WWGD. What would Gremily do? Selfishly, it is because I have a question that would fit perfectly with this theme. I thought maybe it would be too similar to Gremlin guidance, but I feel you somewhat hold back on your advice out of consideration for others' feelings. You give options on how to handle situations. This would simply be if you yourself were in the situation, what would you personally do? And then she signed it. It is in German. I hope I don't butcher this. Alles Liebe Leah. So that is our brand new call to action. If you have any submissions that would fit in this category, WWGD, what would Gremily do? Send those in. It is going to be as asked for my unfiltered personal opinion. I'm a little nervous for it. But you know, if you aren't really looking for guidance, you're just more looking to see like what I would do in that situation, send it in. And if you need more guidance on what you should be doing in the situation, you can file that under Gremlin Guidance. That way we can kind of separate the two. So that will be a future episode. I'm gonna see how long it takes for the submissions to come in. So get those in and I'll start working on that episode now. And make sure to like, follow, share, subscribe, rate five stars, tell your friends, do all the things. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you guys for your submissions, and make sure to email me and get in your stories, your guidance, your gossip, your questions, whatever you guys need. We're gonna cheers out with my Alani. Cheers to you, cheers to me, and cheers to following our intuition and staying safe. Cheers, you guys. Bye.
