Countdown to Parenthood

Chris Gethard
About this episode

This week’s caller made the possibly ill-advised choice to call in to the show from his wife’s hospital bedside mere hours after she was induced to deliver their first child. But he promised Gethard she’s cool with it, so while these highschool sweethearts wait to welcome another person into the world, they talk with Geth about impending parenthood, breaking negative generational patterns, making marriage work, and in the process prove they might just be the perfect couple. It’s a beautiful call. If you’re looking for a reason to believe in love, this one might do it for you.
