This week, the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome the alternative pop artist and resident Gen Z representative, King Mala! We discuss what it was like growing up as a homeschooled kid in El Paso, the definitions of girl dinner/girl math and why riding in a self-driving car can be less stressful than dealing with a creepy Uber driver. We also get deep into the horror realm when King Mala discusses the 2015 film "The Witch," which had a huge impact on her and even influenced her new album. Finally, in a game of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA we discuss the reboot of "I Know What You Did Last Summer," the return of Lay's fried green tomato flavor and whether the world really needs a mixing bowl mash-up Blizzard from Dairy Queen.(Spoiler alert: It doesn't.) Don't be a boomer and forget to check out King Mala's new album "And You Who Drowned in the Grief of a Golden Thing" when it comes out on May 2nd!!!

On today's new episode, Vanessa and Jonah are thrilled to welcome their friend Abbi Jacobson! The trio talk about spring holidays, from looking for the afikomen at Passover (Vanessa feels their family's game may have been rigged) to decorating Easter eggs! And remember being a kid with a signature book? Plus, Vanessa attempts to solve the mystery of whether Abbi is related to the Cleveland Jacobsons? And we get into the wild world of the mall, which leads us to The Body Shop, which leads us to the nostalgic favorite CK One perfume (cologne?) We reminisce about the amazing CK One ad campaign and wonder, did Melissa Ethridge do a music video to promote CK One or was that video of hot people climbing each other unrelated? And finally, in a rousing game of Change.dork, we weigh the merits of increasing the seasoning of Cool Ranch Doritos, getting rid of silent lunch, and changing the age limit for R movies. Be sure to check out this fantastically nostalgic ep! NOTE: Soon after we recorded Abbi figured out that the name of the Melissa Ethridge song in question is "Your Little Secret"!

This week Jonah and Vanessa are overjoyed to welcome Blink-182 co-frontman Mark Hoppus to the podcast because we are absolutely feeling this episode! We discuss Mark's new memoir FARENHEIT-182 (which he wrote with our friend and previous HDWGW guest Dan Ozzi), his high school goth phase and his love of Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin's comedy series "I Think You Should Leave." We also get into Mark's experiences on the Warped Tour, which saw him befriending his childhood heroes and traveling for months on what has been dubbed "punk rock summer camp." (Jonah should know, he helped write the official tour programs.) We also get into the nostalgic nature of Blink-182's music from the iconic videos to performing on TRL alongside some of the era's biggest pop acts... and find out if Blink ever crossed paths with Creed? Finally, we play a round of CHANGE.DORK where we discuss Blink-182's potential Superbowl performance, if skateboarding on sidewalks should be illegal and collectively advocate for the return of Hot Topic retail locations. Do you REALLY want to buy a wallet chain without trying it on first?
