Chris Gethard

Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

A paramedic calls in this week, and he and Gethard bond fast over the real deal world of first response. This caller is operating at a pretty intense level, working in roles that require very specific skill sets. He and Geth get into the ins and outs of the job, ambulance hierarchy, and whether there's real beef between paramedics, EMTs, and everybody else on the scene. Plus, the caller talks about growing up around addiction and instability, doing his own mental health work, and how all of it shaped the way he shows up for people in crisis.

SWAT Medic

Our caller talks with Gethard about graduating from NYU into a job market that's getting worse by the minute, bouncing between temp jobs, losing health insurance, and the exhaustion of trying to build a future when nothing feels stable. Plus, mutual aid, dating apps as networking tools, and a lot of justified rage about the state of things.

Two Years, Five Jobs

A caller from South Jersey (Editor's Note: 856 4EVER) tells Gethard what it was like being more than six feet tall by age 10 and growing up as, by far, the tallest girl in school while still being the "runt" in a very tall family. She also fills Geth in on the rollercoaster process of adoption, tells us why making bad art matters just as much as making good art, and shares some very Jersey stories along the way.

6'3" Runt of the Family

Our caller lost her husband to cancer when he was only 33. She talks with Gethard about working in oncology while carrying her own history of caregiving, the strange persistence of grief, and finding a partner who understands that people don't stop being part of our lives just because they die. Plus, CrossFit, the cruelty of Time Hop notifications, and why, from now on, the color orange is going to mean something to a whole lot of listeners.

Ex-Mother-in-Law Ice Cream Dates

This week officially marks the 10-year anniversary of the very first episode of Beautiful Anonymous, and we might have the perfect call for the occasion. Our caller learned as a teenager that the man she knew as her uncle was actually her biological father. And that's just the beginning. What starts as a soap opera-level family reveal slowly becomes something much deeper. It's a story about generational trauma, instability, and the hard work of untangling your own life with compassion. It's also the story of someone who is, honestly, cool as hell: funny, sharp, and resilient in the face of a deeply confusing childhood. A wild, heavy, and ultimately inspiring conversation about identity, forgiveness, and survival.

Three Different Dads

A potter who just had their biggest sales day ever calls in to talk about what life has been like since their political post went viral.

Plus, if you stick around behind the paywall, so much Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Pottery-Based Death Threats

This week's caller is a 44-year-old sorority house director who lives in the house full-time and walks Geth through the ins and outs of the job. From coordinating chefs and plumbers to the occasional late-night emergency, they talk about what it's like being the only adult in a house of Gen Z women and why she's surprisingly hopeful about the future. Plus, growing up religious, dating (or not) in your 40s, and building a life that works for you.

Sorority House Jane Goodall

Live from Bottlerocket Social Hall in Pittsburgh, Gethard talks to a witch as she prepares for a full moon ritual, and . . . let's just be honest, he has absolutely no idea what's happening.
 
Tarot cards, birth charts, a crowd full of fellow witches quickly taking over the show. Geth is out of his element, and the caller is absolutely in hers. Plus, polyamory, strip club economics, and finding freedom after a childhood defined by control.

The Witches Are Running This Episode (Live from Pittsburgh, PA)

Live from Hamtramck, Michigan, a Chicago caller joins us with an all-time pitch: "I'm a woman in construction. I technically worked for the mob in high school. I almost died having sex . . . or we can talk about movies forever." Gethard, our caller, and the Hamtramck crowd get to all of the above and more: a horrifyingly hilarious medical scare, a mobbed-up skating rink, construction site gender dynamics, and why movie theaters still matter.
