Hello to all my pasta lovers, beautiful and anonymous one hour and full call, no names, no

holds bar.

Hello everybody, it's Chris, it's Chris Gathered and you get here that I am laughing so hard,

I'm bubbling over with joy.

This is by far the most positive call, let me stir you up this show.

This show, I think the people who have listened to it and supported it will say it goes in

any number of directions, very, very silly stuff, thoughtful stuff, sometimes stuff that's

just very delightfully and pleasantly boring in a way, in a way that's just refreshing.

But I think what the show is known for for the people who only casually listen sometimes,

or who have heard about this show is that the show can get extraordinarily dark and intense

and that's true.

And this call, I would put money down in the hundreds of episodes we've done, never

has there been a call that has swung further in the opposite direction.

I'm not going to say another thing about it, it's a good episode and I'm psyched for you

to hear it and I'm also so psyched, this feels like a turning point for me personally and

maybe it will be for you.

Over a year ago it used to be a pretty standard thing that I would be able to plug live shows

on beautiful and honest, that in the intro I would often say, hey I'm coming to this

town in that town and for the first time since 2020, probably earlier, I'm able to tell

you that I am staging a live show.

I hope that gets people happy even if you're nowhere near New Jersey, which is where the

show is because where else was it going to be?
