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!

On today's new episode, the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome the hilarious Jillan Bell! They dive deep into community centers and Vanessa talks about a step class that was so popular at the JCC growing up, that it got one of Jonah's friend's mom's to show her true colors when she didn't get in. Yikes! Plus, Jillian gets into the sixth grade youth center dances that she attended every week and the very consequential last dance where there is a villain, but it's debatable who that is. And, Jonah schools Vanessa on The Spasmatics and the Jillian talks about the time she brought the show Rescue 911 into her real life. And along those lines, Unsolved Mysteries is back, but how do we feel about that? Vanessa also talks about the DJ at her Whirly Ball Bat Mitzvah party (correction: 7th grade was Bas Mitzvahs, not 6th, Vanessa!) and Jonah shares his dream of being introduced at the her party with Metallica blasting in the background. Finally, in a thrilling game of CHANGE DOT DORK, the trio debates the merits of the return of "Bless the Harts," Emilio Estevez being in a Psych movie (and they really get into Emilio's past), and ask, what is Teen Beach Movie and should it be played at Movie Night? And speaking of movies, be sure to check out Jillian's directorial debut, the wildly hilarious and heartwarming "Summer of 69" streaming now on HULU!!

Remember Youth Center Dances in 6th Grade? (with Jillian Bell)

This week on the podcast we are joined by singer, guitarist and—as we find out on this episode—actor, Stefan Babcock of the amazing punk band PUP! The three of us get into his short-lived extracurricular activity as an actor, discuss the time that he almost got kicked out of his own concert, Jonah and Stefan talk about their shared insecurities as musicians. We also get deep into the Mighty Ducks Universe, why it was Stefan's favorite movie as a kid growing up in Canada and how Disney managed to brainwash an entire generation of hockey-obsessed kids. (Sorry, but the Anaheim Ducks just aren't as cool.) We also discuss other classic sports movies from our childhood and reminisce about the senseless violence in comedy films of that era. Finally in a round of CHANGE DOT DORK we review petitions about making moshing an Olympic sport, the potential return of Tim Horton's grilled cheese sandwich and tipping etiquette at the Olive Garden. Don't forget to check out PUP's brand new album "Who Will Look After The Dogs?" and catch them on tour this summer and beyond!!!

Remember The Mighty Ducks? (with Stefan Babcock of PUP) 

This week, the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome the alternative pop artist and resident Gen Z representative, King Mala! We discuss what it was like growing up as a homeschooled kid in El Paso, the definitions of girl dinner/girl math and why riding in a self-driving car can be less stressful than dealing with a creepy Uber driver. We also get deep into the horror realm when King Mala discusses the 2015 film "The Witch," which had a huge impact on her and even influenced her new album. Finally, in a game of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA we discuss the reboot of "I Know What You Did Last Summer," the return of Lay's fried green tomato flavor and whether the world really needs a mixing bowl mash-up Blizzard from Dairy Queen.(Spoiler alert: It doesn't.) Don't be a boomer and forget to check out King Mala's new album "And You Who Drowned in the Grief of a Golden Thing" when it comes out on May 2nd!!!
