Summary

Comedian Heather McDonald stops by to chat with Rachael about being a woman in the comedy world. They start with light conversation in the beginning of this podcast... discussing the season 6 trailer for Vanderpump Rules and being invited to fancy galas. This transitions into the not-so-light topic of the myth that Heroin keeps you looking younger. Don't do drugs kids, but it is sorta fascinating. (Tune in to get the truth!) After that light convo, they each tell an interesting celebrity story that relates to their life as comedians and Heather details her experience starting out in the LA comedy scene. It's a good one!
