Chelsea Handler (I’ll Have What She’s Having, Dear Chelsea, Chelsea Lately) is a comedian, producer, and best-selling author. Chelsea returns to the Armchair Expert to discuss appreciating words more than gifts, having the best sex of her life at 50, and how funny it is that people that don’t know us that well give us the most impactful advice. Chelsea and Dax talk about being without toilets a mere three lifetimes ago, our job as humans to find optimism in the dark, and how you always have to be aware of what you’re taking in so you don’t have to give something up. Chelsea explains that just because the world is on fire doesn’t mean you have to be on fire, how Jane Fonda has informed how she behaves in all her relationships, and her belief that if you can be who you are, you can be limitless.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi.
We have a returning guest today.
We do, but on video this time.
Yes, first time on video. She's so radical. Oh, I love her. I've adored her for decades now. Chelsea Handler. She's a comedian, a television host, six-time New York Times bestselling author and advocate. She has written Life Will Be the Death of Me and You Too, Uganda Be Kidding Me, Lies That Chelsea... These are all great titles. Yeah. Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.
In her new book, I'll Have What She's Having... Which is really, really good and very introspective. And it was a great jumping off point for lots of tasty conversations.
He's just the best. I guess we should say, although it's not too prevalent, but just in case people are confused, we recorded that Wednesday as the fires were starting.
Just starting. We just had high, high winds and an inkling of things were going to happen. Exactly. Much worse later that day.
Yeah.

Chapter 2: What is Chelsea Handler's perspective on turning 50?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had that babe Nicholas Holt on.
He is a great body.
He's so gorgeous. He's so gorgeous. I mean, he's so fucking gorgeous.
He's as attractive as Pedro Pascal and then the other one, Paul Mezcal. Paul Mezcal is nice. Yeah. Very nice. He beefed up for Gladiator.
But he laughed and I did go, I mean, I can acknowledge that's what girls like. He looks athletic. He doesn't look like a fucking meathead.
I have a Russian nephew who literally is growing sideways. He's like 5'10". Like his wingspan is longer than his actual body. I'm like, you look like a giant. First of all, you look like you're from New Jersey. And second, you look like you're Russian. So those two things are not going to attract anything.
You're one strike away from being completely unfuckable.
You want it to look natural. Like they just naturally ended up looking nice. But not when you look and you immediately think, oh, they're trying so hard.
We've long discovered this and hashed this out, which is guys do this for guys. And girls do it for girls. What does Kristen think about your body size? What does she prefer? I'm completely invisible to her. I mean, we've been together for almost two decades. She's even figured out how to not hear my voice, which is so loud. I get it. I know what's happening. Okay, so you have a seventh book.
