Anjelah Johnson-Reyes starts each day with gratitude. When you remind yourself of what you’re grateful for and say it out loud, you’re not only speaking good into the world, but good into yourself. Each episode, Anjelah and her guest will recount the things that they are grateful for and dive deep into how those gratitudes affect their lives. We all have a lot to be grateful for, but there’s always that one thing that can set you off, make you mad, and give you a bad attitude. Or as Anjelah likes to call it, a maditude. So join Anjelah and friends as they share their gratitudes and maditudes and let it out and let it go on “Funjelah.”

May 05, 2026
Show notes
This week is all about the waiting… and waiting… and more waiting. From long lines at the hot new coffee shop to life’s bigger moments that require patience (which we’re all definitely great at, right?), Anjelah and Danielle break down the highs, lows, and mild meltdowns in between. They get into why waiting can drive us a little crazy, but also how it can force us to slow down and actually notice what’s around us. Plus, nothing hits quite like waiting for the beat to drop.
85: My New Comedy Special is Dropping on YouTube: Funjelah EP 85
Apr 28, 2026
Show notes
This week on Funjelah, the shoes are coming off...literally. We are diving deep into the etiquette of whether or not you take your shoes off in someone else’s home, hotel, or basically anywhere. Tour has officially come to an end, and our mutual frustration with air travel and dirty hotel rooms is never-ending. However, with that comes immense gratitude for a weekend of strong final shows and looking forward to the next chapter. Plus, we were also on the Artemis II mission?
Thank you so much for your support! 😍

No Facts, All Opinions: Funjelah EP 83
Apr 15, 2026
Show notes
Early bird or night owl? We're not sure if one's better, but we are sure we have strong opinions and absolutely zero scientific backing. This week, Anjelah and Danielle are in the studio recapping their weeks with family and getting emotional over apartments, old Italian restaurants, and dead bees. Anjelah worries about her helicopter mom tendencies and Danielle yells at people who aren't paying attention to their surroundings. In the end, they both take it back to their early days as background actors in LA, because nothing says "you've made it" like jogging in a park miles away from the camera.
