Summary

This week we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome our friend, the hilarious little sweetie Kenan Thompson!! We're talking SNL nostalgia, Nickelodeon nostalgia, classic rock nostalgia and everything in between. Plus, we get into the craze around the legendary Bo Jackson, including the "Bo Knows" campaign, and his arch nemesis Brian Bosworth aka "The Boz" and Jonah's obsession with the 1991 action fiilm "Stone Cold." Finally, we play a round of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN that has us asking society to please show some respect for meteorologists. What's up with that? You'll have to listen to find out!

0:37.2	Yeah, relates to our guest today. And I don't think he'll remember this probably. But
0:41.0	there was a point where basically sort of your dressing room was down this kind of hallway

0:49.1	There's a lot going on after the show. Everyone's coming out of the studio. And so I would go to the show a lot. So I kind of had my own
0:54.4	little system. I would go back there. A lot of people who worked there kind of knew me as your
0:58.8	brother and everything. And I remember going back there one time and there was maybe a newer
1:03.0	security guard and he was kind of freaked out. And he was like, well, hey, where are you going? I was like, oh, it's fine. I'm Vanessa's brother. I'm just going back to her dressing room. And he was like, how do I know you're Vanessa's brother?

1:15.3	And I remember, like, showing him my driver's license. I was like, look, like, this is my name.
1:18.7	I'm Vanessa. And as this tense conversation's happening, Keenan. Keenan, do you know this guy and points at me?
1:27.7	And Keenan just looks at him straight ahead and goes, no, I've never seen this person before in my life.
