Mundane or Mind-Blowing? with Chris Gethard

Hero, mentor, and friend of mine Chris Gethard ("The Chris Gethard Show," "Career Suicide" on HBO, Beautiful/Anonymous podcast, countless TV shows & movies) is here for an extended episode of the show. I tell him about a text exchange we had that he didn't know changed my life, and that's just the warmup. He goes on to describe his customized hell full of Aerosmith, socks with sandals, and raw tomatoes. He explains an underrated aspect of parenting. He cheats when I ask him to "Relive 1 Memory" and picks two that both relate to "The Chris Gethard Show." And he revisits the night that opened him up after a childhood of trying to hide he was not okay.If you know Gethard and not me, welcome. I hope you'll take a look around the world of the podcast and stay.
