Vanessa and Jonah welcome their friends, Hollywood Power Couple Patton Oswalt and Meredith Salenger, to HDWGW. They talk about their time on Will & Grace, the shelf life of pastries (especially if they are given to you for free), and attending high school and college reunions. They go on to discuss a variety of school field trips, like going into a giant tooth, Meredith's nostalgia-filled visits to Olvera Street, and Patton's trips to very cool historical landmarks near Washington D.C. The discussion eventually takes them to snack talks, including the interesting yet disgusting treat known as astronaut food. Eventually the conversation leads to being mesmerized by gift shops and relieved that kids don't have access to credit cards. A quick podcast public service announcement: DO. NOT. SHOPLIFT. AT. DISNEY. Lastly, another fun round of Change.dork takes all four to thinking about Arby's, declaring the need for a holiday for wines, and the Bono/Jon Bon Jovi Vegan Challenge.

0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Vanessa Bayer and this is my brother Jonah. |
0:05.8 | We're two siblings who love to talk about our childhood and nostalgia and how shaped us into the people we are today. |
0:10.7 | Who are pretty good at word games if I do say so myself. |
0:14.0 | Welcome to How Did We Get Weird. So, Jonah, I was really excited about our guest today, and I was trying to think of a fun story to talk about. |
0:33.7 | And, you know, I know our guests today because we all appeared together, fun fact, on the same |
0:39.0 | episode of Will and Grace. I don't know. This was probably like maybe four years ago. We're thinking |
0:45.1 | four. We were all on this episode of Will and Grace. And something that comes up a lot when I'm |
0:50.5 | filming stuff that is sort of rooted in my childhood is that I love free snacks. And I just |
0:57.6 | truly can never get enough free snacks in a way that you'd go, oh, like, do you outgrow this when |
1:02.4 | you like become a person who's on TV and you have like money to buy like whatever snacks you want? |
1:07.5 | Absolutely not. Okay. And I experienced this on a smaller level when I worked in |
1:11.4 | an ad agency in Chicago. I remember like when we would have clients come in, there would be like a |
1:15.9 | spread from somewhere. And as soon as the clients would leave, everybody in the office would like |
1:19.9 | run to the leftover snacks. So I don't think I'm alone in wanting free snacks. But anyways, when we |
1:25.2 | did Will and Grace together, I played this baker and I was |
1:28.9 | selling all these baked goods in my bakery. And they had like the most incredible baked goods. |
1:34.5 | And so we were filming all week, like even rehearsals they would have them. And I kept being like, |
1:38.6 | what are you guys going to do with these? And they were like, oh, you can take them if you want. |
1:42.5 | And I was like, no way, whatever. And then we finally filmed the episode because you like kind of rehearse all week and |
1:48.1 | then you, I think you film on like Friday or something. So we filmed the episode on a Friday and |
1:53.0 | there were all of these baked goods from my quote unquote bakery. And they were like, do you want to take these home? And I was like, well, yeah, whatever. So like, here I am the classiest of the classy. Carrying like a huge like box of pastries out of my first time guest starring on Will and Grace. Like just making it probably an incredible impression on everybody. But I took these snacks home and by home, I mean I was staying with our cousin Mia because I |
2:21.4 | didn't live in L.A. yet. And I was just eaten pastries for days and days and days. And then one |
