Summary
This week's caller has been listening since the beginning and thinking about what she'd say when she finally got through. Ten years in, she tells Gethard about the life that's happened in the meantime: meeting her now-husband during a very heavy chapter for his family, spending a year on a sailboat, and the shape of her family today. But first, we kick things off with some Jersey mall talk.
