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!

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!

On today's new episode the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome their friend writer and executive producer on the documentary "Lilith Fair: Building A Mystery", Jessica Hopper! You may know Jessica has written incredible books such as "The First Collection of Criticism By A Living Female Rock Critic" and "The Girls Guide To Rocking", but did you know was the publicist for pretty much every Emo band in the late nineties and early 2000's? Plus Jessica and Jonah get into their time in the trenches together at Warped Tour. But don't worry, we also get into Vanessa's favorite music festival, Lilith Fair! Jessica tells us about working on the new documentary "Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery" which was inspired by an oral history of the festival she wrote for Vanity Fair! We get in all the deets, from the music to how the festival gave a dollar from each ticket to a local charity, to how they changed the iced coffee scene in America, to Justice for Paula Cole! And finally, in a rousing game of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN, we get into some controversies over paying for garbage disposal, cigarette butt etiquette and complaining about the weather. You gotta hear this fascinating and funny episode and if you haven't yet, you MUST check out the documentary "LILITH FAIR: BUILDING A MYSTERY" directed by Ally Pankiw and streaming on Hulu!
