Mom With a Second on the Way

Chris Gethard
About this episode

This week’s caller just found out she’s pregnant with her second child. She and Gethard commiserate over the joys of parenting– like when your kid uses you as a human napkin. She also tells him about the worst member of her wedding party, and the two share their mutual love for what might be the best children’s show, ever.

Listen to Gethard’s new special, A Father and the Sun.

Check out New Jersey Is the World.
