New episodes coming on October 14th!

Before sibling duo Vanessa Bayer and Jonah Bayer took the comedy, music and general world by storm, they were just some lil weirdo kids. Joined by exciting guests who also started out this way, they reminisce about everything from toys to trends on How Did We Get Weird? Unless you’re a monster, you’ll want to listen to this nostalgia-filled, hilarious and surprisingly sweet podcast where they discuss how those formative years that shaped them into who they are today.

How Did We Get Weird with Vanessa Bayer and Jonah Bayer

How Did We Get Weird? now on ATC!

Show some respect because this week on the podcast we are joined by the pride and joy of Rochester, Daniel Armbruster of Joywave! In this episode we discuss if the return to the golden age of travel is in the cards and why Daniel won't even get near an airport without his trusty Adidas tracksuit. We also take a moment to press the "easy" button and learn about his time working at Staples and internalizing Steve Winwood songs. Speaking of music (or muzak?), we go straight to Europe to learn about the history of the PURE MOODS compilation albums. From Enya to Enigma to the X-Files Theme song, why were these albums so influential and who the hell is the enigmatic graphic designer, Joe Cheese? Finally in a round of CHANGE DOT DORK we discuss if Daniel should be a character in Fortnite, does Rochester need a casino and is there room in the drug store aisle for Baja Blast-flavored Tums? You'll have to listen to this episode to find out!

Remember Pure Moods? (with Daniel Armbruster of Joywave)

This week on the podcast the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome the iconic musician, visual artist and author Kim Gordon of the band Sonic Youth and more! You may know Kim today as an absolute music legend but did you know she went to a lab school as a little kid where she sawed wood to make boats she could actually ride in? We get more into Kim's childhood growing up first in Rochester (and will she take up Rochester Music Hall of Fame on their offer?...) and then in LA. And speaking of, Kim explains to us what the LA tarpits are even though we should know. Plus, Vanessa makes sure to ask Kim about the snack situation at her ad shoot of H&M. And in a rousing game of "YES OR NO-STALGIA" Kim calls a soda's comeback "desperate" (when she's right she's right), we get into a reboot of a popular franchise, and a Costco lasagna's return makes us wonder, how punk would it be to see Kim at Costco?? (Its seems like it could happen.) Ya gotta check out this fantastic ep!

Remember Lab Schools? (with Kim Gordon)

This week on the podcast, we are joined by actor, comedian and musician, our friend Andy Samberg! You know Andy from starring on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE with Vanessa and from his comedy trio The Lonely Island, but did you know that as a kid he was a he wanted nothing more than to stay up late at night watching SNL and eating a sugary bowl of GREMLINS cereal? On this episode we discuss Vanessa's experience working on Andy's hit show BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, the origins of HOT ROD's famous "cool beans" scene and the time Jonah and Vanessa went to one of his movie premieres that may have actually just been a pizza party. We also get deep into Andy's impressive knowledge of movie-themed cereals ranging from GREMLINS to E.T. to BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT CEREAL and what it was like to mail-order items as a kid in the eighties and wait months for your to light saber to finally arrive. Finally we play a powerful round of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we explore our dad's disapproval of Wendy's Peppermint Frosty, our optimism about Radiohead's possible reunion (if you can call it that) and explore what our own version of "We Didn't Start The Fire" might sound like for all you Piano Man fans out there!
