  • Remember Pass The Pigs? (with Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins of Tigers Jaw)
    Mar 30 2026

    On today's podcast we are joined by longtime bandmates and honorary siblings, Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins of the band Tigers Jaw! We start the episode with Jonah's adventures selling a used air fryer, what its been like for Ben and Brianna to be playing music together for 20 years and how the town of Scranton has handled the influence of "The Office" for better or worse. We also get into Ben's now defunct but still beloved doughnut shop, the Philly doughnut scene in general and how Tigers Jaw uses their tour rider as an excuse to try new cereal options. Finally we get into our topic, the board game Pass The Pigs, which started at Ben's grandmother's house (Brianna's grandmother had a Sega, no big deal) and is now gifted by Tigers Jaw to the bands that open for them... with the light gambling aspect being fully optional. Finally we play a round of YES-TALGIA OR NO-STALGIA where we discuss the return of McDonald's Shamrock Shake, another Charlie's Angels reboot and is Progresso's viral Soup Drops candy really something worth savoring? Don't forget to check out Tigers Jaw's brand new album "Lost On You" which is available now on Hopeless Records and make sure to catch them on tour when they come to your town!

  • Remember Sideways Stories from Wayside School? (with Josh Gondelman)
    Mar 23 2026

    This week on the podcast the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome brilliant comedian and absolute delight Josh Gondelman! First we get into Jonah picking out a new phone and discuss the many color options and ask how so many people are so sure of what color they want?? And we try to figure out what's going on with home shopping networks selling precious metals and jewels so urgently before "they close the mine"?! Plus we get into Josh's favorite childhood book "Sideways Stories from Wayside School" which is silly and fun but is Vanessa still haunted by the story of Jenny arriving late to school? And we get into books making us hungry and Vanessa asks the important question: how long would it take you to eat your bedroom full of pasta? And finally in a rousing game of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN, the trio discuss complaints about stores being open on Thanksgiving, sale coats being on the same rack as non-sale coats, and someone feeling their hospital should be taken off the list of best hospitals for an insane reason. Be sure to check out this hilarious episode and Josh's hilarious YouTube special "Positive Reinforcement" or see him on tour in your city soon!!
