Summary

In this episode, the phenomenal writer and actress Sudi Green stops by the pod! We talk about after school sports with subtopics ranging from but not limited to the harrowing journey of finding your track event, Vanessa's odd cross-country hack and the moments we each realized sports just weren't for us. We also reminisce about burning CDs and curating our music tastes to impress our older siblings while Jonah recounts winning the prestigious Carrier Pigeon paper plate award. As if that wasn’t enough, Vanessa takes a trip down memory lane reading through her Lilith Fair-approved CD wallet from the nineties.

0:13.7	Welcome to How Did We Get Weird. So Jonah, I was thinking about when we were younger and how we both ran cross-country, both in middle school and in high school.
0:36.3	Yeah, I ran in middle school.
0:38.0	I don't know if started first.
0:39.8	Well, you definitely started first because I ran it because you were running it.
0:43.2	And you were actually a good runner and I was not.
0:47.0	But as everyone knows, the thing about cross country is you don't have to, well, maybe not everyone knows this, but you don't have to be athletic to run cross country. You just have to kind of be like a person who has motivation, I guess,

Yes, I think I've seen you run the Philadelphia Marathon at least twice or once. Probably once. I only did that one once. I didn't, New York a couple times.
