Summary
On today's new episode the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome writer, producer and dear friend Ariana Jackson! You may know the show "Brilliant Minds" that Ariana currently writes on, but did you know that Ariana formerly wrote and performed and sang as a member of BLOOMERS? That's right, we get into Ariana and Vanessa's time in their collegiate all-female sketch comedy and musical parody troupe, plus Vanessa reveals another very cool Bloomer that she got to work with recently! And we reminisce about the times when Jonah and then Ariana visited Vanessa when she was working on a cruise ship, and how Jonah sadly missed some serious ship glow-ups. Plus we get into the iconic fashion trend that was HYPERCOLOR and how we loved our color-shifting outfits. And we get into the trend before the trend (Freezy Freakies, anyone?) and does color-changing clothing still exist today? (Spoiler alert: it does!) And finally, in a delightful game of CHANGE DOT DORK, we're discussing bringing back Philadelphia Cream Cheese Snack Bars, getting a female cereal mascot out there, and should Weird Al perform at the Superbowl Halftime Show? (Duh) So please enjoy this wonderful episode with our Bloom-Tastic friend!!
