This week on the podcast we are joined by musician, Kevin Morby! From his early days checking out music in Kansas City to dropping out of high school with $600 in his pocket to move to New York City, Kevin tells us about his journey from aspiring musician to full-time rocker. We also get into the nostalgic topic of ninja movies, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Three Ninjas, we discuss our favorite movies from the era. Kevin also learns in real time that he's listed as a notable student on kickboxer Dale Cook's Wikipedia page in case you were looking for a way to connect Kevin to the film "American Kickboxer 2." Why were so many movies we watched as kids like "Flight Of The Navigator" or "My Girl" kind of dark? We all discuss it, but don't really know. Finally in a game of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA we discuss the return of classic menu items at Taco Bell, HGTV's new nineties house renovation show hosted by Jaleel White and the return of Blue Bell's "Tin Roof" flavored ice cream. So get peanut butter and jelly in your favorite ride and strap in for this amazing podcast!

On this week's new episode the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome their friend the hilarious Lisa Gilroy! You may know Lisa from her scene stealing turns on both seasons of "Jury Duty" but did you she spent a lot of time doing character work as a kid dressing up in disguises? And did an inadvertant adult disguise lead to Jonah having a mustache? Plus we hear about Lisa's childhood growing up in freezing Alberta, Canada where she would often walking to school in the dark! And we talk about nap time as a kid where we all just went to sleep... on the ground? Plus we get into the various ways we broke into our own houses as kids (and adults in Jonah's case). And Lisa tells us how she managed to not laugh while playing such funny characters on Jury Duty and Vanessa gets into her record (self-rewarded) of not breaking on SNL. Finally, in a rousing game of YES OR NOSTALGIA we're diving into the return of micro-fringe (bangs), Spaceball 2 starring Rick Moranis (yay!) and which new Oreo flavor will stick around (Banana Pudding). Be sure to listen to this delightful episode or you might get a "Face Wash" the next time it's snowing!

We could not be more excited to welcome our close personal friend to the podcast this week: Musician and actor, Jason Isbell! You've heard him talk about his '59 Les Paul but have you heard Isbell break down the difference between dry snacks, snacks that are a test of class and snacks that are a proof of class? Plus, from transporting Kudos bars to Handi-Snacks, we talk about the benefits of Jason's proto-grunge ensembles of cargo pants and flannel shirts. We also discuss why so many heavy metal musicians are nice people, Jason's real-life encounters with members of Metallica and Pearl Jam and what it was like being raised by teenage parents and lots of grandparents in Alabama. As if that weren't enough, we finish up with a round of CHANGE.DORK where we weigh in on important petitions regarding Primus signature guitars, Georgia Gold vs Hot Chicken at KFC and if a collaboration between Isbell and John Mayer is in the works. (Spoiler alert: It isn't.) Be sure to check out Jason's new documentary RUNNING WITH OUR EYES CLOSED which is now streaming on HBO Max and pick up his latest album with the 400 Unit, WEATHERVANES, when it comes out on June 9th.
