This week, Jessica and June are joined by the incomparable comedian and Jersey girl, Retta (Good Girls, Parks and Rec, Ugliest House In America). But first, we discuss the delight of unexpected visits, and the absolutely UNFORGIVABLE move of showing up to a party early. Then, we get nice and cozy with Retta, who chats about her New Jersey roots, why her girlfriends are everything to her, and how she lives a zero inbox life. And remember, please be tardy for the party.
