Young Guy With A Positive Attitude

Chris Gethard
About this episode

Wrist surgery turned into something more serious and his dog lost a leg to cancer, but that won't keep this caller down. Geth speaks with a 25-year-old about how growing up without a ton of money and selling homemade yarn balls to pay for summer camp shaped his positive outlook on life. He shares stories about delivering Peloton bikes to billionaires, working in real estate, and growing up in a religious household. He also opens up about getting married young and proudly describes his wife as "badass" for becoming a commercial pilot.
