They then get into the recent rumors surrounding Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard potentially getting traded to the Toronto Raptors, which pieces Toronto should prioritize keeping, and if the new-look roster could compete for a championship. Chelsea then blindly ranks five random "Friends" characters, recounts a hilarious encounter with Improv legend Colin Mochrie, as well as an outlandish and crude suggestion she was provided by a drunk audience member during a recent Improv show of her own.
