| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, I never do this. I never plug things at the top of the episode, but a personal plug here for something I'm very very excited about. |
| 0:07.3 | I'm doing an off-Broadway show. It's a really daunting step in my career, but I'm excited and I wanted to make sure a beautiful anonymous listeners knew about it. |
| 0:16.6 | It's a dark show, but it's very funny. It's being presented by none other than Judd Appetale. |
| 0:22.0 | And if you're in the New York area, you want to come. I'd love to see you and meet you. You can find info about it at www.careersuicideshow.com. |
| 0:31.5 | Thanks for putting up with this plug. Let's get to it. |
| 0:38.6 | Hello, five foot three graffiti artists. You're going to love this one. |
| 0:43.4 | Thank you for listening. My name is Chris Getherd, and this is Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People. |
| 0:49.6 | One phone call, one hour, no names, no old bard. |
| 1:04.6 | It's called I Am Fascinated by. I have been flipping back and forth in my mind. |
| 1:11.1 | What to think about it, because there's so many things from a person who's lived in admittedly very very wild life. |
| 1:17.6 | What do I tease? Do I tease the meth? Do I tease the Nazis? There's so many. |
| 1:22.6 | So many things to tease to keep you listening, but I think what I'll tease most of all is keep listening because this guy has a lot of crazy stories to tell, but throughout the course of the phone call, he lets us know where a lot of it comes from. |
| 1:34.6 | He gets a little more genuine. He also lets us know about where it's going, because as you'll learn very early on, new life development means this guy has to actually process this stuff. |
| 1:43.6 | Yeah, he just, just like anybody else, he saw the number on Twitter, he called up, he put it all out there, I thank him for that. |
| 1:52.6 | And now we can all listen in like the filthy voyirs we are. Enjoy the call. |
| 2:00.6 | Thank you for calling Beautiful Anonymous. A beeping noise will indicate when you are on the show with the host. |
| 2:07.6 | Hello. Hey, how's it going? |
| 2:11.6 | It's going good. How you doing? I'm alright. Good man. That's good. |
| 2:17.6 | First time long time. Oh, thanks. I'm glad you called in. |
| 2:22.6 | Yeah, I've been, I've been trying to call in last few times, but every time I'm always too late. |
| 2:30.6 | Well, you nailed it. You nailed it this time. Yeah, I got it this time right on the money. I'm waiting for my kid to wake up and he just did. |
