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.

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.

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.

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.
