Chris Gethard
About this episode

A thoughtful and resilient caller who has lived a lot of life calls to talk with Gethard about family, work, love, and loss. But also about adventures abroad, DFMOs (Dance Floor MakeOuts, obviously), cleaning out the most disgusting refrigerator, riding motorcycles . . . and all of that before she even mentions the iguana. This one has a little bit of everything we all love about Beautiful/Anonymous.
