Summary

This week on the podcast, we are joined by actor, comedian and musician, our friend Andy Samberg! You know Andy from starring on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE with Vanessa and from his comedy trio The Lonely Island, but did you know that as a kid he was a he wanted nothing more than to stay up late at night watching SNL and eating a sugary bowl of GREMLINS cereal? On this episode we discuss Vanessa's experience working on Andy's hit show BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, the origins of HOT ROD's famous "cool beans" scene and the time Jonah and Vanessa went to one of his movie premieres that may have actually just been a pizza party. We also get deep into Andy's impressive knowledge of movie-themed cereals ranging from GREMLINS to E.T. to BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT CEREAL and what it was like to mail-order items as a kid in the eighties and wait months for your to light saber to finally arrive. Finally we play a powerful round of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we explore our dad's disapproval of Wendy's Peppermint Frosty, our optimism about Radiohead's possible reunion (if you can call it that) and explore what our own version of "We Didn't Start The Fire" might sound like for all you Piano Man fans out there!

0:25.1	Hi, I'm Vanessa Bayer and this is my brother Jonah.
0:28.1	We're two siblings who love to talk about our childhood and nostalgia and how it shaped us into the people we are today.
0:33.1	Who wouldn't mind being stuck on a lonely island with today's guest?
0:37.1	Welcome to How did we get?
0:38.7	Well, we're really excited about today's guest, even though he's already coming after us pretty hard.
0:57.2	No.
0:58.7	You know, Jonah, I know that you and many people know that we were on a little show called Saturday Night Live together.
1:05.5	But did you also know that I got to do his show, Brooklyn-9, and we had a real blast together. And I learned
1:15.2	something kind of valuable. I don't know. I want to get into our guest's thoughts about this
1:20.0	today, but Jonah, something that's kind of weird is when you have a stunt double. Have you ever
1:24.9	had a stunt double, Jonah? Have I? No, I have not. Okay. Well, you must. Actually, why don't we just introduce today's guest and then I'll get it. And then, okay.

1:59.5	I don't think they need extra love. Don't you think like you could get some success of that? Maybe like people who accidentally turn ours on trying to watch Digimon. Because what I'll tell you is that I forgot to write it into the intro, and so I remembered it as Digimon. Well, yeah. What is Digimon? I think it's only one letter difference, although is it M-A-N or M-O-N-Dig-O-N. Oh. I mean... It's Mon. It's Mon. M-O-N. And yours is Dig-Man? Yes. And you've correctly pointed out the thinly veiled meaning because he's an archaeologist. Oh, I love that.
2:34.5	I'm sorry.
