She might not have a background in politics, but this caller is thinking about running for office. She and Gethard talk about what it means to feel called to lead, why the current political climate pushed her to consider a campaign, and how terrifying–and thrilling–it is to start from scratch. This one might just light a fire under you, no matter what you believe in.

A brand new sommelier (that’s a wine expert for the less fancy) needs some help figuring out what her next move should be. She and Gethard get real nerdy about ancient wine-making techniques, and then, as is often the case, the conversation takes a more serious turn when our caller opens up about a tough situation with a family member.

“I did have a murderer’s fingers in my mouth a couple times.” That’s how this week’s caller kicks things off, setting the tone for an episode filled with random and often darkly hilarious stories. He and Gethard play a morbid round of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, share their mutual appreciation for one of Jersey youths’ greatest and most time-honored traditions, and dive into tales of a frugal exhibitionist and a road trip that nearly ended in disaster.

A soon-to-be college grad, raised in Appalachia, calls in to talk about his next adventure—moving to Antarctica. But as he and Gethard dig deeper, it’s clear this journey is about more than just travel. Life’s thrown a lot at this caller, but he’s put in the work, and come out the other side. Now, with med school on the horizon, he’s taking a detour to the edge of the world. It’s a heartfelt conversation with a caller you’ll be rooting for.

Black mold, leaving a soul-sucking sales job, and Gethard’s connection to a cross-country trip in a car full of weed. Our caller wasn’t sure where this one was going when she called in, but she and Geth take it in so many fun directions. It’s a Good Vibes episode where two people spend an hour chasing a conversation wherever it decides to roll.

A skydiver who swears she’s not an adrenaline junkie calls to talk with Gethard about the joys of plummeting to earth from 13,000 feet. She’s got 500 jumps under her belt, and only one of them has ended in two broken feet. She shares an action-movie-worthy story that is possibly the most harrowing tale we’ve ever heard on the show. Fair warning, this one’s intense. But it’s also fun and–if you’re looking for an excuse to do something that scares you–inspiring, too.

This week’s call kicks off with a tour of the caller’s room as she describes the objects around her. And from there, it takes off in a bunch of fascinating directions–from wiener dog races, to Chicago comedy clubs, the fact that sexy renegade clowns are definitely taking over, and why we should all be living by The Artichoke Capital of the World Philosophy.

This week’s caller wants advice on how to spend an unexpected $40,000 gift from her kleptomaniac grandma, but what starts as a light-hearted question quickly turns introspective.

This week’s caller shares an incredible story about receiving a tough phone call regarding her ex-husband and the lessons it taught her about the broken justice system. She opens up about standing up for what's right, even when the system fails, and being a voice for those who can’t defend themselves. It's a compelling reminder of why doing the right thing matters, even—and especially—when it's not the easy thing.

As per tradition, Gethard chats with callers two minutes at a time to hear their big plans for 2025. From tackling one of the toughest hikes in the United States to diving deeper into their kink community to simply “keep killing it,” this year’s resolutions are as varied and unique as ever.

This week's caller has a simple pitch: help me pick a new name. What follows is a fun and free-wheeling discussion about names, identity, and all the ways we define ourselves. Oh, and Orville Peck. A lot of this call is about Orville Peck.

"It was like an episode of Dateline." Gethard takes a call from a mom with an unbelievable story—her son tried to kill her. What follows is an intense, deeply human conversation about survival, healing, and the complex realities of mental health. The caller opens up about her journey through trauma, therapy, and finding her footing again, all while showing a sharp sense of humor and an unshakable spirit. It’s a heavy one, but also full of hope, as she shares how she’s turned her pain into purpose, becoming an advocate for others.

Look, this one is about Star Trek. Specifically, it’s about one stoned fan's deep love for Star Trek: The Next Generation. They call in to chat with Gethard about Klingon sex, favorite episodes, and the show's philosophical allure. At its heart though, this is a conversation about passion, nostalgia, and the joy of diving deep into what you love. Whether or not you're a Trekkie, that's something we can all understand.

This one’s a wild ride. Our caller dropped just as they were being patched through to Gethard, so this one got sent through without an official screening. We had no idea what to expect, but it turned into a classic Beautiful Anonymous—starting in one place and ending up … who knows where. From learning foreign languages through sexting to practicing niche martial arts to spending time in a religion that might be a cult (you’ll need to check out this week’s bonus content for the full story), this caller brought plenty to the table.
