How Did We Get Weird with Vanessa Bayer and Jonah Bayer

• Remember Lilith Fair? (with Jessica Hopper)

  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!

• Remember Life Before Cell Phones? (with the Sklar Brothers)

  This week on the podcast, the Bayers are joined by not one but two amazing guests: Identical twin comedians Randy and Jason Sklar! We get deep into the mythology of Steven Seagal from the Sklar Brothers experience pitching a television pilot alongside Seagal to Jonah seeing him perform music live as "The Mojo Man." We also discuss the Sklar Brothers' experience on the cutting edge of alternative comedy alongside some entertainment's biggest names and the time that Janeane Garofalo casually brought Eddie Vedder to an East Village comedy gig at the height of Pearl Jam's nineties fame. We also get into what life was like before cell phones and why it made people more responsible when it came to being to places on time. Finally in this edition of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN we discuss celebrity culture, paid parking and should airplane travel in the winter even be an option? After you finish this episode, be sure to check out the Sklar Brothers' amazing podcast "Dumb People Town." You can start with the episode featuring Vanessa!
