Summary

Chelsea is joined by special guest Jameela Jamil to discuss dancing on television, the exact words a man can say to make any woman fall for him, and how to expertly ghost an unwanted conversation at a social gathering. A 40-year-old feels bad about her neck. A chance encounter makes a woman question her sexuality. And a husband worries that his partner’s diet has gone too far.

Executive Producer Nick Stumpf

Produced by Catherine Law

Edited & Engineered by Brandon Dickert
