Summary

This week Vanessa and Jonah are thrilled to welcome the hilarious and wildly talented Ed Helms to the podcast! You may know Ed played Andy Bernard on “The Office” but did you know he grew up doing crazy stunts on BMX bikes? Or that he’s a talented banjo player?? Plus, the trio get into interesting Sundance experiences or a lack thereof, the nightmare that is being in the bathroom when you’re supposed to be on stage, and the time Ed hosted SNL while Vanessa was there. Plus, in a rousing game of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN, they talk emergency evacuation fines, driving etiquette, and co-workers who eat onion bagels for breakfast. Be sure to listen to this episode and to check out Ed’s delightful and riveting iHeartPodcasts series SNAFU wherever you get your podcasts!

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Vanessa Bayer and this is my brother Jonah.
0:06.8	We're two siblings who love to talk about our childhood and nostalgia and how it shaped us into the people we are today.

1:38.6	nightmare. Well, and a bunch of other things. But just to be in the bathroom. Yeah. Was it a long time or it was, it went pretty, it probably seemed like a long time, probably wasn't
