This one’s a wild ride. Our caller dropped just as they were being patched through to Gethard, so this one got sent through without an official screening. We had no idea what to expect, but it turned into a classic Beautiful Anonymous—starting in one place and ending up … who knows where. From learning foreign languages through sexting to practicing niche martial arts to spending time in a religion that might be a cult (you’ll need to check out this week’s bonus content for the full story), this caller brought plenty to the table.

Last month, Gethard talked with a guy whose wife was in labor. Last week, Gethard talked to that wife, now a new mom to a squishy squid. This week, Gethard talks to that squishy squid’s grandmother. It’s a frank and vulnerable conversation about generational trauma, cycles of abuse, and working hard to build a better life for your family. And of course we get to hear about the joy that comes with being a new grandparent. It’s a beautiful call, and kind of a miracle that it happened at all.
