Summary

This week on the podcast, the Bayers are joined by their old friend and award-winning designer, Nick Ace! They discuss how Jonah became Nick's roommate in Williamsburg, the time Vanessa roasted the audience at one of their house parties and the way the three of us have collectively supported each others' creative endeavors. Nick also tells an epic tale about getting suspended from school that manages to reference Jerry Springer, the film Black Sheep and passing notes in class, in a way that will transport you right back to the late nineties anxiety we felt as high school students. We also discuss the constant threats of things going on our permanent records. Does it exist and should we launch a start-up where you can access your permanent record? (Potential investors, please contact us directly.) Finally, we play a round of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN where we discuss if there too much "breaking news," debate if global warming responsible for the existence of Canada as we know it (we're pretty sure it's not) and the ubiquity of grey-striped cats. Oh, and if your company is looking to rebrand, Nick is the guy to make it happen!
