Chris Gethard
About this episode

Live from Hamtramck, Michigan, a Chicago caller joins us with an all-time pitch: "I'm a woman in construction. I technically worked for the mob in high school. I almost died having sex . . . or we can talk about movies forever." Gethard, our caller, and the Hamtramck crowd get to all of the above and more: a horrifyingly hilarious medical scare, a mobbed-up skating rink, construction site gender dynamics, and why movie theaters still matter.
