Summary

On today's episode, Jonah and Vanessa are thrilled to welcome the hilarious Chelsea Handler!! You may know Chelsea as a comedian, tv host, New York Times Bestselling Author (check out her new book "I'll Have What She's Having"!) and advocate, but did you know she's the youngest of six siblings? And speaking of, we get into how she got birthday gifts for all of those siblings, plus a birthday gift fail that Jonah got for Vanessa once that was a tool to teach her how to work in comedy when she was already doing it? And we get into getting recognized in public in the least flattering ways possible, the time Vanessa almost interrupted Chelsea's dinner, and more! And in a rousing game of YES OR NO-STALGIA, we decide whether we're excited for the resurgence of Polariods, Pelmets, and Old-Timey Soda Pops! Be sure to check out this fantastic episode AND be sure to check out Chelsea's new special, THE FEELING, out now on Netflix!
