I love this podcast so much. I’m around the same age as Vanessa and Jonah and also grew up in the Midwest and love music so this hits all the nostalgia notes I need to start my week every Monday.
Vanessa saying “Sean Duffy can absolutely F off”
I love them! The only complaint is that the ads lately have been ughhhh. I do not want to hear an ad from the financial guys. Get out of here. I know the podcast hosts didn't approve it!
I love that this podcast has a completely different format from most popular comedy podcasts. While it can sometimes feel like the same celebrities are making the rounds doing the same bits, How Did We Get Weird takes things in a refreshingly fun and unexpected direction. The guests are wonderfully diverse, and the interviews always feel original. I also really appreciate how fun and kind the Bayers are—they genuinely make me want to be more like them.
It’d be nice if they atleast acknowledged their privilege. Combined howmany internships did they do ?
