Hello to everybody who likes a little mouse underneath a cute little leaf. It's beautiful anonymous one hour.

One phone call. No names. No holds bar.

I'd rather no one on one. I think it'll be more fun than I'll get to know you and you'll get to know me.

Hi everybody. It's Chris Gath. They're welcome to another episode. You're a full-nonymous.

Got a whole bunch of stuff to tell you about up top and then we're going to get into a call that blew my mind.

And I have a few things to say about it before you listen to it so maybe don't skip this one for so long.

A couple things to say first. First of all, at podswag.com. I think everybody's heard me over the years.

I mentioned that that's where you can go to get your beautiful anonymous merchandise. We got a great new t-shirt up there.

Also, they have started stocking my book, Luzwell, which is nice. Better late than ever. It's awesome. They got signed copies there.

You can go get them right from the podswag section. It's where you can also get all the t-shirts we've ever put out and mugs and posters and all that stuff.

The posters I take my share and for a long time, I'm embarrassed about how long it's taken.

I always said this poster. I'm going to take my share of the money that we make from it.

I'm going to put it towards making transcripts for the deaf community ever since I was very inspired by the episode where we have a deaf caller.

Happy to say that the first ten of those are coming. All the episodes that are not behind the paywall that are sitting in that best of will have their transcript soon.

And apologies that it took so long. Also, speaking of that paywall in June, celebration of Pride Month.

Taking four different calls that relate in some level to the world of the LGBTQ community.

And they're coming out from behind the paywall. There's going to be four extras that haven't up until now.

Sad out there. As a celebration of Pride, I am very much a supporter of Believerin and happy to celebrate and happy to put some of the calls out there that I think have offered up the perspective of many different types of people over the years.

So enjoy those four extra free ones if you're not signed up for Citroe premium, which you should be because that's where our back catalog is and all that stuff.
