Chelsea brings back writer and Talk Girl host Sam Reece to travel back to the 2000s and dive deep into the mother-daughter memoir "Heart to Heart" by Britney and Lynne Spears. Together, they unpack the core trauma hiding between the pages, the Ryan Gosling mix-up, and the deeply cringeworthy poetry that lands somewhere between purity culture and a "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul" fever dream. Plus: Was this actually just written by Lynne, alone at a typewriter, switching wigs and wearing a football helmet? Find out!
