On today's new episode the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome their friend writer and executive producer on the documentary "Lilith Fair: Building A Mystery", Jessica Hopper! You may know Jessica has written incredible books such as "The First Collection of Criticism By A Living Female Rock Critic" and "The Girls Guide To Rocking", but did you know was the publicist for pretty much every Emo band in the late nineties and early 2000's? Plus Jessica and Jonah get into their time in the trenches together at Warped Tour. But don't worry, we also get into Vanessa's favorite music festival, Lilith Fair! Jessica tells us about working on the new documentary "Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery" which was inspired by an oral history of the festival she wrote for Vanity Fair! We get in all the deets, from the music to how the festival gave a dollar from each ticket to a local charity, to how they changed the iced coffee scene in America, to Justice for Paula Cole! And finally, in a rousing game of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN, we get into some controversies over paying for garbage disposal, cigarette butt etiquette and complaining about the weather. You gotta hear this fascinating and funny episode and if you haven't yet, you MUST check out the documentary "LILITH FAIR: BUILDING A MYSTERY" directed by Ally Pankiw and streaming on Hulu!

This week on the podcast the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome chef extraordinaire and absolute delight Alison Roman to the podcast! You may know that Alison is a New York Times best-selling food writer who makes incredible food, but did you know she also makes incredible mix tapes? In fact, we dig into an old-school mix tape that Alison made for a friend (shoutout to last week's guest Jeremy Bolm) and Alison teaches us how making a mix tape and creating a cookbook have a lot in common! Plus Alison tells us what her favorite kitchen gadgets are, we discuss reciepe comment etiquette and she teaches Vanessa how to clean a cutting board (it's confusing!) Finally, in a tasty game of YES OR NO-STALGIA, the trio get into the Cheez-It wrap, Carne Asada returning to Chipotle and fall flavors entering the chat on Dairy Queen's Blizzard menu! You've gotta check out this tasty and hilarious episode and also be sure to check out Alison's new book, "Something From Nothing" out November 11th and available to order here!

Get ready for a great episode beacuse this week we are joined by Touché Amoré vocalist and host of "The First Ever Podcast," Jeremy Bolm! We talk to Jeremy about growing up in Los Angeles and what it was like to go to the same high school where they filmed a little show called "The Wonder Years." We also discuss Jonah and Jeremy playing shows together in their respective bands, Vanessa's obsession with re-engineered Dodo Birds and what it was like being a kid and not feeling allegiance to any type of musical scene. Speaking of music, we get deep into Jeremy's love of grunge legends Nirvana, personal interactions with the band members in real life and Touché Amoré's stellar cover of what might be the most underrated song on Nevermind, "Lounge Act." Finally we play a round of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we discuss the return of the indie rock act The Format, debate the neccessity of healthy versions of our favorite candy bars and should there be a "Little House on the Prarie" reboot based on the books? You'll have to listen to find out! Also check out Touché Amoré live next year on their ten year anniversary tour for "Stage Four" which sees them traveling everywhere from Austin to Amsterdam!
