Been listening to this podcast since its beginning. Vanessa and Jonah are so tuned into nostalgia. An outlier of an episode but OMG the Jenifer Lewis episode is amazing! Love Love Loved “I Love That for You”

Got recommended this because of Bazan and have been listening non stop. Tons of nostalgia and I love it for the commute.

Keep ‘em coming whenever you can!

Love this podcast so much! I was so sad when I thought it was cancelled over their summer hiatus, and so thrilled that it came back in full swing! I look forward to it every Monday and find Vanessa and Jonah not only hilarious, but earnest and sweet and insightful. The guests rock too and are always incredible creatives in one form or another!

I’m so mad I went years and years not even knowing about this podcast. Literally so disappointed in not only myself, but apples ability to recommend podcasts it thinks I might like. This is EXACTLY the podcast for me. I promise that this is the best podcast of all time. Pinky promise. Oh and to tie it back in to the title, I found out about this from the Ted and Woody podcast. Loved her on SNL and now I also love her brother. Sorry you both had to find out this way.

Patrick Stump is a se*ual predator who absolutely actually is violent in real life and not only has admitted this in DMs, but it’s in FOB interviews and stories. He cheated on his wife before, during, and after she was pregnant. I am a woman he harassed, there are more of us. He has threatened me with his life. Please either put up a disclaimer with your interview or take it down out of respect. Thank you. Ps if Jonah knows so much about punk how does he not know about “friends don’t let friends meet fall out boy alone”? He knows better.

In latest episode, Paul James was singing a song that he was trying to figure out the name of. That song is Rapture by Seed (I sent Vanessa and Paul messages in Instagram) Also, this show is great - 5 stars

One of my new favorite podcasts!!!!! Of course I realize it isn't 'new', just new to me! Omg i crack up every episode while I make dinner, even if I don't recognize the guest 😁🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 Keep it up guys! (Assuming you continue to enjoy it!)

Do not support this podcast! Vanessa promotes animal cruelty to line her pocket. This clown can’t make enough money as a no class “celebrity” so she will do just about anything to make money. Shame on her for supporting the animal holocaust! She spreads lies for the dairy industry and eats dead body parts for Maybelline. VOMIT! Zero stars!

Such a fun podcast where you never know which way the conversation will go. Vanessa and Jonah play off each other so well and always end everything with a laugh. Can’t wait to get to the end and find out what game they’re playing with the guest. Keep up the awesome work, you two are amazing!

So glad you’re back! Mondays haven’t been the same since you went on break. Please come back!!!!! I need to hear when all of the future guests inevitably share anecdotes that are reminiscent of Vanessa’s all female scratch comedy troupe, “Bloomers”.

What a great first episode. I love these two and the fun nostalgic topics they cover. So fun and funny!

One star is a hilarious tv star. The other is her brother. The sibling dynamics are at play as Vanessa, the clear star, allows her less funny and less talented brother take the lead. I love the show but let Vanessa have some more time!

This is one of my all time favorite podcasts. Never thought I’d be into a show with this focused but of course Vanessa and Jonah could talk about anything and make it interesting and funny. I’ve combed through the internet to see if there’s any info on whether this show is on hiatus or not coming back. Hopefully they are just on break. Please come back!!!

This pod is so funny! I start my work week listening to these cuties!

Love this podcast! Vanessa and Jonah should make a movie about their childhood because it’s so funny and relatable. Easier said than done, I get it. Vanessa keep singing and Jonah keep being a punk therapist! Thanks for all the laughs and making smile when a new episode pops up. Hap, Ryan in Richmond, VA

Love love love everything Vanessa has done but I can’t listen to this podcast anymore because of Jonah. We get it bro. You were in a punk band and wrote for a music publication. Sorry, but I feel like the conversations screech to a halt when Jonah pipes in.

My favorite episodes are the ones with people they knew when they were kids. Vanessa’s and Jonah’s sibling relationship is really sweet, and this podcast is such an lol cute way to spent an hour.

This is my favorite podcast. Even if I don’t recognize the guest, the episodes are always fun to listen to. The comedy and nostalgia is real with this podcast. Keep up the great work Bayers!

Hey there’s some issue with Jessica and Vanessa’s audio tracks overlapping a bit in the last 10 minutes, I think Jonah’s was fine

Coming from the same era of 80s and 90s upbringing as Vanessa and Jonah, I find myself nodding along and laughing with their memories, and seeing the connection to who I am today. Like Jonah, I cut my teeth on punk and hardcore music in high school. And like Vanessa, I had some pretty fabulous dresses ready for an array of Bar and Bat Mitzvahs (who’s to say a 12 year old can’t sport a business casual shoulder padded look, as I often did). The guests are well-curated, the topics are smart and hilarious, and honestly, the minute I heard Carrie Brownstein talk about those Juicy Fruit commercials, I was transported back to those halcyon days of people in shorts on ski slopes. Love this podcast, makes my day every time I listen.

I was super into this show in the beginning but lately I can’t keep making excuses for Vanessa and Jonah and the stuff they don’t seem to know about from 80s and 90s pop culture. They get so many facts wrong and/or have no memory of stuff that was pretty popular. It’s getting frustrating. And why does Jason Schwartzman’s episode go on forever and he doesn’t have a topic to talk about??

They are so funny and sweet and smart. Like a warm blanket to sink into 😍

Grace on Passions (soap opera) made tomato soup every Thanksgiving and I have carried on that tradition since I’ve heard of it.

Love the two hosts’ dynamic. They’re so close; it’s almost like they’re brother and sister.

As someone from Cleveland who grew up in approximately the same timeframe as Vanessa and Jonah, this podcast is a hilarious walk down memory lane. This is the definition of “feel good” entertainment…funny and relatable discussions from two really cool people.

They’re still there, people can still go back and listen, it’s not some limited time thing. These “TBT” episodes just make it harder to navigate the feed and leads to more confusion. Just seems like a desperate money grab

Dreamy

Guster is still around. I’m sorry I left a one star review. But I just want everyone to know Guster is as relevant now as they were 20 years ago. Mildly successful and fervently supported. Here’s 5 stars

So joyful and fun. Nostalgic topics create unexpected conversations

Love Vanessa and Jonah! They’re both so funny and kind and are both naturals at interviewing guests.

Great reminders of cool/ridiculous things from the 80s/90s that I had forgotten about. Please bring Corin and Carrie back to do an episode on the Doublemint sexed up twin commercials. Or for any reason whatsoever.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A “remember portal?” The video game!

This is one of my favorite podcasts, very easy to listen to. If I’m ever feeling down and need to distract myself I can count on Vanessa and Jonah to make me feel better.

Would love to hear if anyone else watched Nickelodeon’s “You Can’t Do That on Television”

I got really excited to hear their take on The Blair Witch Project. It was a lot of complaining paired with unfinished thoughts and questions suggesting they didn’t pay attention when watching it. There were also way too many uses of the word, “like”. It was painful to listen to comments on a movie and genre that you have no interest in. Boring.

How Did We Get Weird is definitely my favorite podcast. It's exactly like having a conversation with your closest childhood pals. If you grew up any time between the late 80s and early 2000s you will relate immediately to 99% of what is discussed on the podcast. Even though I grew up in a different part of the U.S., I was also a suburban kid doing almost the same things at the same time as the Bayer siblings. The podcast is also sort of a running story of growing up in the Bayer household, living crazy times in the Cleveland suburbs. The sibling hosts, Vanessa Bayer (UPenn musical

As in legs a sea

I have enjoyed this podcast so much but if the two of you mention your “cousin” Riki Rachtman one more time, I’m going to scream. As folks with writing and comedy experience, you should know when a joke has run its course and this one is way past its expiration date now.

This quickly became my fave podcast. It’s so much joy. Thanks both for making me laugh loudly a lot.

And please have Amber and Lacey back again - I think this one might have been my favorite of all time, and I didn’t even know who they were before. Now I’m a huge fan!

Vanessa’s right, they ARE pretty cool.

The Bayer siblings let loose without parental guidance and its sweet. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy this podcast. I found it by accident (or perhaps providence) and have no idea how or why…but I am so glad I did. It’s part nostalgia, part life lesson, part interview, part comedy, and wholly enjoyable. The warmth of caring you hear between brother and sister is wonderful. The respect for their guests is wonderful. The memories it pulls out of the gray matter wrinkles is wonderful. It’s just wonderful. Anyone that was raised in the 80’s or 90’s will adore this. Great job!

I’ve been on a #HDWGW (yeah) rampage for the last month or so and it has really been my support system I fear the approaching day that I catch up to the latest episode. My Monday moaning is: I’m nearing the end of the binge. Just two of the coolest funniest people around I like hanging out thank you guys.

Thanks, pals (but also- said with my whole chest- thank you so much because I could see myself legitimately referencing it in conversation 🫠)

Just listened to the episode with Gillian Jacobs and really enjoyed it. Great banter and behind the scenes stories from Ibiza. We need more celebration of all things Marlo Thomas, so good job on that front. I’d argue that Gillian is way too smart to be a dork, so she’s really a nerd. Nerd Pride! And yes, hot drinks DO cool you off on a hot day.

Great scroll down memory lane with great chemistry

This podcast works for me on so many levels. I love the sibling dynamic between the hosts, the quality and variety of their guests, and mostly, how it triggers my nostalgia for my childhood and young adulthood. Thank you, Jonah and Vanessa, for making me laugh and helping me recall the good old days.

This is a 5-star-hot-coffee-in-the-summer review.

I’m a longtime listener of this fun and funny pod. Highly recommend! Was wondering why VB and Mark Procksh didn’t mention WWDITS?? I was dying to get insight got on VBs arc as an emotional vampire on the show.
