Five years ago, this week's caller lost his 15-year-old son. Today, he's raising his 15-year-old daughter and navigating what it means to live with grief while continuing to move forward. It's a conversation about loss, love, and the complicated ways joy and sorrow coexist.

This week's caller met her husband while working on a cruise ship. She's got plenty of stories about life behind the scenes at sea: from a painful breakup that sent her into the world to finding love, to building a new life in California, and lots of cruise talk in between. Plus, Geth and the caller bond over immigration, Irish roots, and America's severe lack of halloumi cheese.

And a special treat for everyone on the free feed: While we get our new Patreon up and running (soon!), we're sharing the usually paywalled Five Questions, which includes a truly horrifying bungee-jumping story.

This week's caller works in video games. The first half of the call gets into the current state of the industry and what it's like building a career in something you love. Halfway through, this caller earns a spot on one of our favorite unofficial Beautiful/Anonymous lists: people with incredibly specific, deeply nerdy hobbies they have gone fully in on. This one involves a surprising degree of violence, but maybe an even more surprising degree of community.
