Happy holidays. How did we get weird listeners? Today we are going to revisit one of our favorite episodes. Actually, the first episode we ever released with Beck Bennett, all time great. We hope that you enjoy it. Jonah, do you have anything else to add? Yeah. Thanks to everyone who supported the podcast. You know, if you've listened since the beginning, this first episode with Beck, you're going to love to hear it again with a new With a new perspective on life, year and a half later, if you've just gotten in the podcast more

recently, maybe you haven't gone all the way back to the first episode so you can kind of

hear for the first time.

But yeah, Beck, great guests, a really funny episode.

And we were just kind of starting out the podcast and now we're feeling like season pros.

Yeah.

So happy holidays, everyone, and may you be

a season pro in the new year in whatever endeavor you endeavor to do. Exactly.

Hi, I'm Vanessa Bayer and this is my brother Jonah. We're two siblings who love to talk about

our childhood and nostalgia and how it shaped us into the people we are today. Which are pretty rad if I do say so myself. Welcome to

How Did We Get Weird? So I want to talk to you about this kind of interesting thing about our dad, which is that, as you know, Jonah, our dad has told us since we were little that he is the first Todd, meaning the first person ever to have Todd as their first name. He maintains that before he was

named Todd, it was a last name like Carson or something, and that his parents were the first ones

to decide to use it as a first name. And that anybody who's older than him, who goes by the name

Todd, is probably really named Theodore or something,

but they just started calling themselves Todd after he was born. Yes, I'm very familiar with this.

I feel like we've done some research over the years. Todd Rungren, famous Todd, is younger than our dad.

Yes. So that checks out. Yeah. James Earl Jones is real first name, I think, is Todd, but he

doesn't count. I think it's not his first name, though. I think there's a Todd in James Earl Jones's

name. But that probably wouldn't count because he doesn't go by Todd anyways. Right, right, right, right.

I mean, there's a few different kind of sub-rules to, to, I feel like our dad's belief. First of all, do you believe it? I didn't believe it at first,

but it reminds me of like a lot of stuff our dad has told us over the years. I didn't believe

at first. It ended up being true. Yeah, like Esperanto. We'll get into that another day.
