  • Remember Back To School Shopping? (with Punam Patel)
    Nov 4 2024

    Today on the podcast the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome their friend the wildly talented comedian and actress Punam Patel! You might know Punam as the hilarious Beena from "I Love that For You", but did you know she was very into the emo music scene growing up and has even moshed? Plus, Vanessa recants connecting with the middle school english teacher that inspired her SNL character "Mrs. Meadows" at her school's centennial celebration, and along those lines, the trio talk about how they would each behave if they were a substitute teacher in order to get respect from the students. Plus, Beena takes us through her school style journey which taught her the valuable lesson of being able to find a chic outfit at any establishment. And speaking of skills, we discuss several life hacks including Jonah's idea to add cold pasta sauce to hot noodles. Does it work? You'll have to listen to find out!! (but no, no it does not.) Check it out!

  • Remember Sports Cards? (with Will Forte)
    Oct 28 2024

    This week, the Bayer siblings are so excited to welcome actor and comedian Will Forte to the podcast. You know Will from "Saturday Night Live," "MacGruber" and "The Last Man On Earth," but did you know that he grew up eating a Sausage Cheese Zombie before early morning swim practice? On this episode we talk about Will and Vanessa almost overlapping on SNL, the current status of Battleball (aka Dodgeball) in gym class and Will's childhood hobby: Sports cards! We get deep into Will's incredibly valuable collection, why he continued to collect cards as an adult and how he's been able to use his passion to benefit charities. We also play a round of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we discuss the return of Sour Altoids, the "Scary Movie" franchise return—and who wouldn't want a Hot Coca-flavored Chips Ahoy! cookie? So cozy up and listen to this incredible episode!
