Summary

Who better to be on the back to school edition of HOW DID WE GET WEIRD? than a guest who has been on the academic calendar for most of her life??? This week on the podcast, we are joined by Professor Victoria Papa, who you have heard Jonah talk about a lot because she is also his wife! We discuss Vicky growing up in New York's capital district, mall culture and the easiest way to get Jonah to wear something. (Just put it in the closest proximity to where he is located.) As we already mentioned, we also get deep into the thrill of back to school fashion from picking out the latest outfits at Limited Too to postal pants as a trend that isn't just for those of you who deliver mail for a living. We also discuss Vicky's legendary fashion sense, Jonah's disdain for trying things on at department store dressing rooms and Vanessa's constant striving to get style compliments from teenagers. Finally in today's installment of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN we debate the merits of kids in commercials, the societal limits of customer service etiquette and should the entire banking system be overhauled? Your homework this week is to listen to this episode and leave us lots of positive ratings!!!
