The Most Thoughtful Caller

Chris Gethard
About this episode

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.
