  • The Most Thoughtful Caller
    Jun 4 2024

    A reluctant-but-proud military father who’s looking forward to seeing his son for the first time in seventeen weeks calls to talk with Gethard about being thoughtful, empathetic, and willing to have your worldview totally changed. It’s also about couples counseling, subduing a man on a plane, giving up an office job to become a truck driver, and, ultimately, embracing your true identity. Oh, and if you’re a Beautiful/Anonymous+ subscriber, and you stick around for the 5 Random Questions, it’s also about “Kinky Claus,” one of the greatest stories ever told on Beautiful/Anonymous.

  • Raising the Roof Returns!
    May 28 2024

    This week’s caller is back to make history a second time. Two weeks ago, our caller hung up early on Geth, and we’ve all been debating what happened there ever since. Well, guess what, she somehow managed to get back through a second time–no easy feat. So, Gethard gets to ask her about what really happened. Plus he checks in on the bus situation, and then the call goes in many other directions. Different day. Different call. That’s just how it goes.

  • Raising the Roof (Skoolie Life)
    May 14 2024

    This week's caller is finally going to embrace her tiny home dreams. That is, if her husband can stop jumping off roofs long enough for them to finish the bus renovation they started three years ago. This one starts out easy enough. How does one become involved in skoolie life? What makes someone want to live in a school bus in the first place? What's all this drama about raising the bus roof? But things take a turn when Gethard and our caller start to unpack some of the more serious motivations for wanting to live a bit more off the grid. Then, something happens that has only ever happened once before in the history of Beautiful Anonymous. You can probably guess what it is, but you'll have to listen to find out for sure.

  • Waiting for the Shame to Kick In
    May 7 2024

    This week's caller is queer, polyamorous, and on ADHD-related academic probation in seminary school. These are all fairly new developments in her life. She talks to Gethard about how opening herself up to exploration and possibility led her to a life she says the old her would have been "appalled" by and why–even if this new life is a little more chaotic–she's so much happier now.
