Summary

This week on the podcast, Vanessa and Jonah are joined by old friend and Rise Against guitarist Zach Blair! We discuss the times we almost all hung out together at South By Southwest, Zach's experience playing guitar (and dressing up) in GWAR and his short-lived stint working in construction prior to playing arenas. We also get deep into Zach's relationship with his brother Doni and what it was like playing together in Hagfish and Only Crime. Did you also know that they were interviewed by our cousin Riki Rachtman for "Loveline" back in the day? Somehow we didn't either. Finally we play a game of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN where we discuss skate park etiquette, "educating yourself" during an intramural soccer game and the dubious ethics of restaurant advertising. Don't forget to check out Rise Against this spring alongside Papa Roach on the "Rise Of The Roach" Tour. Trust us, seeing Rise Against live is anything but a last resort!

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Vanessa Bayer and this is my brother Jonah.
0:06.6	We're two siblings who love to talk about our childhood and nostalgia and how it shaped us into the people we are today.
0:11.8	Who are very excited for our guests today.
0:15.1	Welcome to How Did We Get Weird. Jonah, I've got such a crazy update for you.
0:35.3	Let's hear it.
0:35.9	Okay, a couple weeks ago on the podcast we talked about
0:38.6	how I went to the centennial celebration of our school district, orange schools, and, you know,
0:45.5	I brought up the idea that we buried this time capsule when I was in like first grade-ish,
0:51.0	and then it was supposed to be dug up when we were the graduating class of
0:55.4	2000 and we could see you know what happened and then when it they went to dig it up they were
0:59.9	just like oh or when we asked about it when we were seniors they were just like we don't know where it is
1:04.6	and so it's been kind of an ongoing saga and something that every so often I would think about and get mad about.
1:12.0	So I brought it up in my speech, you know, when I was back at the high school a couple
1:15.3	months ago. And everyone is sort of like looking into it, whatever. I went to, I call it a little
1:23.1	party because it was. When we were home over Thanksgiving, I went to a little party and it was at
1:29.3	my friend Jenny Pistel's house. And I'm seeing some of the grates from my from my great. I'm seeing some of
1:34.5	my faves. And my friend Michael Block randomly, he brought it up. He was like, what do you think
1:41.1	ever how? What about that time capsule? He was like kind of mad. They never found it.
1:44.4	I think this is how things went down.
1:45.9	I'm just trying to recall exactly because I'm really excited about this.
1:50.1	And so I'm trying to get all the details right.
