Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

A paramedic calls in this week, and he and Gethard bond fast over the real deal world of first response. This caller is operating at a pretty intense level, working in roles that require very specific skill sets. He and Geth get into the ins and outs of the job, ambulance hierarchy, and whether there's real beef between paramedics, EMTs, and everybody else on the scene. Plus, the caller talks about growing up around addiction and instability, doing his own mental health work, and how all of it shaped the way he shows up for people in crisis.

Our caller talks with Gethard about graduating from NYU into a job market that's getting worse by the minute, bouncing between temp jobs, losing health insurance, and the exhaustion of trying to build a future when nothing feels stable.

A caller from South Jersey (Editor's Note: 856 4EVER) tells Gethard what it was like being more than six feet tall by age 10 and growing up as, by far, the tallest girl in school while still being the "runt" in a very tall family. She also fills Geth in on the rollercoaster process of adoption, tells us why making bad art matters just as much as making good art, and shares some very Jersey stories along the way.

Our caller lost her husband to cancer when he was only 33. She talks with Gethard about working in oncology while carrying her own history of caregiving, the strange persistence of grief, and finding a partner who understands that people don't stop being part of our lives just because they die. Plus, CrossFit, the cruelty of Time Hop notifications, and why, from now on, the color orange is going to mean something to a whole lot of listeners.
