Hello to all my notary publics.

It's beautiful anonymous. One hour. One phone call. No names. No holds barred.

Hi everybody Chris Gatherer here. Excited to bring you episode 301 of beautiful anonymous 301.

I've kept it going all this time. I want to keep it going. I've got gears turning on. I have like that.

I keep doing this show that you've come to know and love and support. And I'll say, I don't know.

Who knows what else we can do in the future? Who knows? Who knows? Who knows? All I know is I want to thank everybody who listens to this show.

And everybody who enjoyed episode 300. We had reactions ranging from some people in that Facebook group saying, I wish every call was 300 minutes long to other people saying, I'm sorry, but this was the dullest episode ever.

And honestly everything in between. One of my favorite comments came from Colleen. There was a lot of reaction. The second call, if you have listened to it, you know it wound up being someone who I realized I used to flirt with on AOL.

Well, in the early 2000s, Colleen said, I absolutely loved all 300 minutes, but I especially loved the second call. It was awesome to hear Chris in the call of reconnect and talk about the weird 90s and AOL chats.

I am of that age also and it really took me back meeting someone on AOL in a chat room and then moving from chat to the phone is exactly why I met my now fiance.

I met in an Emo chat room LOL in 2000 started talking about bands then moved from chat room to talking on AIM and then on the phone calls which weren't cheap because we lived in different states.

We were in and out of each other's lives for a while and then in 2012 we met in person for the first time and then a few years later began dating still while living in different states.

It goes on from there. But oh my god, a 12 year AOL courtship. Well done Colleen.

Thank you for being in the Facebook group speaking of love, speaking of unusual ways to meet your fiance.

Colleen this week, so you can tell from the title, not many people have this story, oh how did you meet your fiance? Oh, we met at her wedding.

That's right. The caller was at a person's wedding and they're now married to the person who they first met at their wedding. How's that go down?

It sounds like a real juicy story. Well, it is. It's also talk about age differences and coming out and family who is supportive of all sorts of stuff that's fascinating and enjoyable and that I loved and that I hope you love as well.

Enjoy this call everybody. 301 kicking things off 2022 feels like something's in the air something good. Let's go out there and get it. Let's grab life by the horns.

Enjoy the call. Thank you for calling beautiful anonymous a beeping noise will indicate when you are on the show with the host.

Hello. Hello. Hi. Hi. How you doing? I'm doing all right. I'm glad to hear you doing all right. As far as how I'm doing, I don't even know. I don't even know where to begin. Good. I guess. I guess good.

It's brutal out here. Yeah. Yeah. I have not been feeling it this week. I've also had a ton of dentistry and doctor's appointments and those never helped the mood. But I'm also just feeling in general kind of hopeless. But that's okay. That happens to me sometimes. I'll be fine. How are you?

I guess that I am. I was actually just having a conversation with someone about how I feel really good about my life. But I need to avoid the news every now and then to maintain a sense of feeling good because there's so much terrible bad news.
