Welcome to shapes, I'm in outer space, I'm inside my mind.

Welcome to your episode of the Let's Be Friends podcast.

This is it, guys.

This is it, folks.

This is the listeners story episode.

I have been so excited to share your stories on the Let's Be Friends podcast.

Mostly because I don't have to do much talking or preparation. I'm just going to be

like playing the stuff that you guys created. No, seriously, I love you guys so much. Putting this

episode together has been a little pet project for me. It's been a little bit of a dream come true.

I'd say it's your Christmas present to me. Your21 gift of thanks to me was submitting these stories.

What I did is I put a call out for stories from the listeners, you guys listening right now.

I asked you to send me one to 10 minutes stories about anything. And you know what?

Next time I'll be specific

because I think I gave everyone too many options because that seemed to be the number one question.

What's the story going to be about? I'm like, anything. Tell me a joke. It doesn't matter.

Well, you guys, you did more than that. You poured your hearts out. You shared the unbelievable

stories that you don't know who to share with

anybody else with me and I'm honored. You told me about your adventures traveling all over

the world. We have submissions from all of world with lots of accents, you guys. We even have

an unexplainable accent from a listener from Hawaii. But I just want to say you guys pulled through. Like I

know I did a couple meta, meta telethons, metathons on Instagram live where I told some of my own

stories, uh, trying to get the word out for this because honestly, I didn't think anybody was going to submit.
