Summary

It must be Vanessa’s birthday (tomorrow) because Jonah and her are thrilled to welcome their childhood friend and Rolling Stone Senior Writer, Andy Greene!! They’re talking all things elementary and middle school, from lice checks to spine checks to the massive, intimidating structure that was their high school. We also get the dirt on Andy's recent features on nostaglic acts like Live and Mötley Crüe, discuss our favorite music gossip sites and share our early concert experiences. Plus, who knew how helpful middle-school keyboarding class would be? (Despite the fact that Andy pulled a major scam in it.) Speaking of scams, the trio ask what was up with the betrayal of our teachers dating each other and not telling us? Finally, in a rousing round of CHANGE.DORK, the three of us debate bringing back the original Cookie Crisp recipe, the original TGIF lineup and a little store at the mall called Hot Topic. Whether you think Seniors 2000 rule or not, you've gotta check out this hilarious episode!!!

0:15.0	Welcome to How Did We Get Weird. Jonah, because we went to high school with our guests today, and middle school, and all school with our guests today,
0:36.1	I thought we could talk about something from when we were little that used to happen that was absolutely humiliating, which was when the moms would come into the classroom and check everybody for lice. Do you remember that, Jonah?
0:48.9	I do remember that. I wonder if that still happens. Yeah, that you would come in, you have to sit down. They'd have those a little like... like sent, I think, to the nurse's office. It never, I never had, but it was such a, it was such a
1:11.8	nightmare moment because if someone got sent out of the room, it was like shaming them. It was like,
1:18.3	yeah, they've got lice, they're unhygienic and. It doesn't seem very scientific the way they're
1:23.4	doing it either. Yeah. And also, I think had we been like a few years older when they were doing it, it would have
1:29.3	been like so humiliating.
1:31.2	At least we were like young enough that maybe we didn't get as embarrassed as if we were.
