An Uber Eats delivery driver takes Gethard along for the ride as he makes his deliveries and shares some stories from the road. In typical Beautiful/Anonymous fashion, the conversation takes a deeper turn as the caller opens up about a series of challenges that would stop most people in their tracks and shares how he’s found meaning in pushing through.

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.

A field of goats, an unexpected marriage-by-mail, a baffling bachelor party at a nudist resort – and that barely scratches the surface. This week’s caller is a vegan pansexual horse trainer who has lived a lot of life. She calls to share some of her stories with Gethard, who is happily along for the ride.
