Summary

This week on HDWGW, we are joined by actress and comedian Jenny Slate to discuss everyone's favorite plush toy that resembled a sleeping bag: POPPLES! We discuss the difficulty but satisfaction of putting the popple back in its home, the curious nature of celebrity poppels and the recent cartoon reboot of the celebrated brand. We also discuss Jonah's cool new GQ hat, embarrassing encounters while buying ice cream and why there's few feelings on Earth better than receiving a free Bluetooth speaker. (No mugs, please.) Finally we play an inspired round of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN where we go "battlezone" about lawnmowers, discuss how you should treat your bicycle when parking it outside a Subway Restaurant and debate whether magazine coupons belong to you or to the library where you're reading the latest issue of People. The results just might surprise you.
