Vanessa and Jonah are thrilled to welcome to the pod Curb Your Enthusiasm star, Susie Essman! In this episode, we get into a real story about an encounter our parents had at their condo complex, Susie talks about how parking in NYC gives her faith in humanity and why having people fear you can be a positive thing when people compare her with her with Susie Greene. We also discuss Susie's strategy for getting out of school as a kid, her favorite shows to watch as a kid and that indefinable feeling of spending an entire day alone doing whatever you wanted. We also play a round of round of CHANGE DOT DORK where we debate the merits of a Curb Your Enthusiasm Movie, decide if the world needs gluten-free Oreos and should schools get the day off after Super Bowl... or do they have to pretend they're sick the way we did as kids?

This week on the podcast we are joined by another dynamic sibling duo, our old friends Eddie and Riley Breckenridge of the post-hardcore band, Thrice! After Jonah gives a quick update on Partygate, we talk about what it's like to be in a band with your brother, Riley's college baseball career and Eddie's barista tips. We also discuss what it was like to go to the same high school as Rage Against The Machine and if their teachers got mad if they wouldn't do what they told them. Finally, we get into our topic, which was supposed to be not thinking through situations, but turns out to be a lot of stories about water balloons. Trust us, when we say that these two guests have thrown (or launched) a water balloon at almost every location in Southern California. Look out! Finally in a stadium food themed version of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA, we debate the culinary prowess of Helmet Nachos, Cotton Candy Burritos and Cannoli Nachos. Don't forget to check out Thrice's latest album "Horizons/West" and catch them on tour when they come to your town!

Today on the podcast the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome the delightful and hilarious Jesse Tyler Ferguson! You may know Jesse from Modern Family but did you know that he and Vanessa are both winners of The Great American Baking Show Celebrity Edition?? Plus we have some updates and hometown reactions to Jonah's bombshell admission of calling the cops on a party in highschool! Then the trio get into their thoughts on scary movies (we all don't like them) and haunted houses (we really don't like them). And they all get nostalgic talking about having lemonade stands as kids as Jesse prepares to do one with his son. Plus, the trio talk about other childhood businesses they remember having from Jesse's directorial debut in his living room to sitting down for a meal at Cafe Vanessy. Finally, in a rousing game of CHANGE DOT DORK: LEMONADE STAND EDITION we get into a petition for kids not needing permits for lemonade stands in Colorado (!), for Molly not to have to move, and for bringing back Hubert's Lemonade. Plus did you know that Vanessa is a proud graduate of Alarm School? You'll learn of all this and more in today's fantastic episode!!!
