Summary
Before she was podcast royalty, Nicole Byer was a “talkative” student who hung out at Chili’s after school plays and had a honey bear bong. So yeah…she’s always been cool.
Danielle learns all about the lore of Nicole’s New Jersey hometown, including the drama from her high school clique, cryptically deemed “CKLEN”.
Plus, we go behind the scenes of what a day working with John Cena is like and learn the gritty details of the underground holding cell beneath Macy’s.
It’s a wild one. Get ready for a new Teen Beat!
