Comedian Anjelah Johnson-Reyes hops in The Wayback and we head to 1990s San Jose, California! Anjelah reminisces about growing up in San Jose, stealing her mom’s Astro van in the sixth grade, and sneaking out by pretending she was at sleepovers so she could party at a motel. She also looks back on her days as a Pop Warner cheerleader, becoming a Raiderette, her first fight, camping trips with her dad, and finally passing her driver’s test on the third attempt.
