How Did We Get Weird with Vanessa Bayer and Jonah Bayer

On today's episode Jonah and Vanessa are thrilled to welcome the one and only Jenifer Lewis! They reminisce about the first time they met when Vanessa was trying to get Jenifer to be on "I Love That For You" and Jenifer subsequently announcing to the press that she would be on the show... without a single mention of Vanessa. Plus you may know that Jenifer is the Mother of Black Hollywood, but did you know she does a killer Vanessa impression? And Vanessa's Jenifer impression is pretty good as well? Plus the two talk about their instant connection and all the fun they had filming together, so much so, that Jenifer still refers to Vanessa (and Jonah!) as a glass of milk with eyes. We also get into Jenifer's terrifying accident in Africa and the resilience that got her where she is today. Plus, in a hilarious game of CHANGE.DORK, the trio discuss whether Jenifer should host Wheel of Fortune, If Spongebob should have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, (plus Jenifer's own Hall of Fame ceremony and some incredible celebrity stories) and if "I Love That For You" should be renewed for Season 2 (duh). So walk in your joy and listen to this incredible episode with the iconic MISS JENIFER LEWIS!

This week, the Bayers are joined by post-hardcore loyalty in the form of Sparta and At The Drive-In guitarist and vocalist, Jim Ward! We discuss Jim's childhood growing up in El Paso, punishing bands at local venues and eventually becoming a musician himself. We also get Jim's seasoned take on tortillas and why you won't find Old El Paso brand tortillas in his pantry any time soon. From growing up as a small kid to performing on some of the biggest stages in the world, Jim has had quite a journey. We also debunk some facts about Jim, from owning restaurants to making his own backyard pizzas. However in what is possibly our biggest debunking ever, we explore the nostalgic phenomenon of blowing into Nintendo cartridges to make them work. Not to be forgotten, we also play a game of CHANGE DOT DORK where we discuss petitions advocating for the return of Takis Taco Shells, Pizzerias Chips and Sonic Drive-In's Java Chiller. Be sure to check out Sparta's brand new album "Cut A Silhouette" which is out now on Equal Vision Records and check out the band this summer when they come to your town!
