Summary

Linda Perry joined us today, famous for her smash hit What's Up with 4 Non Blondes and countless other hits for artists like Gwen Stefani (What You Waiting For?), P!nk (Get The Party Started), Christina Aguilera (Beautiful) & many more. She talked about how she found out about What's Up's massive internet comeback, the He-Man Meme, a new 4 Non Blondes album 30 years later, and she finally answers the burning question everyone's wanted to know: Is there a tiny talented rat under her hat writing all her songs? The interview ends with a big unexpected reveal! Thinking of a baby name? Klein has an uncanny ability to predict the bad nicknames, so we took calls from pregnant people as they shared the names they're considering & Klein proceeded to crush their dreams. But let's be honest, you shouldn't be naming your kid Lemon anyway. We also learned about Pole Bears during Johnny Doesn't Know Funerals, talked about the best day of the week to break up with someone & Klein cooked a fresh steak for Ally as she builds up her iron for the next embryo transfer.
