On this week's Beautiful/Anonymous, our caller is having a quarter life crisis and breaks down what it was like being raised by a criminal and a drifter. It starts out a story about being young but clearly becomes more and more of a survivor's tale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWDS...

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is on Saturday. If you have expired meds and/or meds you don't need anymore, it's a great chance to get them out of your house.
This week's Beautiful/Anonymous is a difficult but incredible conversation. Our caller discusses losing his son, and how he's managed to keep going. It's as sad as you think, but also hopeful and dare I say funny. Plus there's real granular advice he has for parents. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7Q3...

NYC I am flattered. My new show was invited to be part of the Irish Rep Theater's New Works Fall Festival. Tickets went up yesterday and before I even had a chance to plug it, there's only one seat left. Thank you for the support. What a cool feeling. irishrep.org/whats-on/boo...
On this week's Beautiful/Anonymous, I talk with a caller who gives us a behind the scenes look at the cruise ship industry and it is a GOOD conversation! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOaZ...
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous I talk with a video game designer about designing games but even more importantly about his hobby of dressing up in suits of armor to fight other people in suits of armor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfW9...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd-5... This caller was great. The whole call is good, then stuff about the brother in law and the father in law comes out and it's really... just. I mean, some families have a lot of moving parts to navigate but this is like... yeah.
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous we talk with a Spanish teacher about a desk free environment, summers where you go buck wild, and the perils of dating a slam poet. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous, I talk with a caller who winds up having many more stories than he anticipated telling. I left this one wondering: how do you react when your back is against the wall? This caller has answered that many times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6SQ...
Hey New York - I haven't taught a full on improv class for adults in years. But when my old friends at MNN told me they wanted to offer classes for free, I said "Let's do it." If you're an experienced improviser who wants a free class and to get some notes, sign up at www.mnn.org/programs/adv...
On this week's Beautiful/Anonymous I speak with a very, very unpredictable human being in a call that has some of the funniest moments in the show's recent memory as well as some of the darkest out of nowhere bomb drops. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIdr...
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous: our caller used to work in marketing. That's done. Now? Community theater. What a joyful if tenuous transformation. Hear all about it at youtu.be/TBup--rXC6o?...
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous I speak to a hacker who is between sessions at a hacker convention and it is a nerdy conversation of my dreams. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
On this week's Beautiful/Anonymous I talk with a caller who is a mom, has a full time job, AND helps run an anime convention. Great call with a good crash course in anime. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

in celebration of one of the greatest things that has happened in American history! @paulscheer.com @chrisgethard.bsky.social What's In The Dumpster? 10 Year Anniversary Show youtu.be/bW9iOEY4skI?... via @YouTube
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW9i... Here's the ten year anniversary of the Dumpster Episode. The magic came right back. What do you think, should this happen on a recurring basis? What platform should it live on? I think we got something here.
NYC area people: I'm working on a new one man thing and it's been going pretty good so far. Would be psyched for you to check out one of these small early runs. Only 40 tickets to each show. One on 8/11 and one on 8/25, both at 5 PM. Tickets at ucbcomedy.com/shows/new-yo...
On this week's Beautiful/Anonymous I talk with a delightful caller about a number of things, chief among them their fear of turkeys, and when you hear how this phobia came to be you'll be like "Yeah that's a really good reason to have a lifelong fear of turkeys." www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HFG...
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous we have some technical difficulties but also this is compounded by a very mischief focused caller who seems intent on bating me into a fight about Maryland being better than New Jersey, which is a wild thing to say to me publicly. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...
On this week's Beautiful/Anonymous I talk to a man who thought he stopped the Long Island Serial Killer which maybe isn't what happened but then poses the question well WHAT DID? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhBd...
Some people do improv that produces SNL-esque zany characters. Me and Trumane do improv that inspires cool artistic women from Brooklyn to write folk pop songs about God, the devil, and childbirth. To each their own. (Kate, thank you for this, very flattering!)
Song #28/52 "Doubt" youtu.be/rWjinQW4c6c Weird songwriting experiment this week: All the lyrics of this song are lines of dialogue from an improv set performed by @chrisgethard.bsky.social & Trumane Alston at the Fun & Dumb Festival in Brooklyn on Friday, July 10th, 2026.
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous I have a lovely conversation with a caller who studied theater and works in sports, and tells us all what happens inside arenas when the games are gone. A fun, pleasant conversation you will enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCy9...
On this week's Beautiful/Anonymous, I talk to an environmental scientist about stormwater management and it's actually way more entertaining than this description suggests. Plus the caller pokes some fun beehives and most importantly, tricked Andrea during the screening. youtu.be/YwTcxXMrUkA?...
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous I was lucky to talk to a theater teacher who was homeschooled and able to tell me all about the world of Christian sketch comedy. These conversations remain a highlight of my week every week, hope the same is true for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqFS...

Having seen him in NJ before, I expected the @chrisgethard.bsky.social show to be great. But when he starts the show with a call and response of the jingles to The Children’s Aid Society and The Greater Westchester County Fair, you know you’re in for a special treat.
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous, our caller starts out with chit chat and then we get into truly awful relationship drama, self-revelations about love and sexuality, and being a good mom facing down daunting challenges. It's an incredible phone call. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...
On today's Beautiful/Anonymous I talk to a woman who lived on a boat, married into a family during intense times of tragedy, and opens her home to others in need. Really a great call! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
On this week's Beautiful/Anonymous, our caller has been through a lot in life - and still has major goals to make things better for others. A tough, resilient caller, and a good reminder on how many people are fighting good fights out there. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...
