This has to be my favorite episode of WWDTM in a long time. Maeve's story of celery is the best! Add to that the fun of a conservative talk radio producer coming on as a contestant and this will be an episode I won't forget anytime soon 😁

The woman who interviews Emma's brother has an unbelievably nasal voice. It sounds like a parody.
