Summary

Break out your best bonnet and riding boots because this week on HOW DID WE GET WEIRD? we are joined by comedian/actor/musician Tim Heidecker to discuss the pastoral drama series, Little House on the Prairie. Along the way we discuss Tim's job a la creperie, watching sitcoms made for adult as kids in the eighties and our respective senior superlatives. (Jonah and Tim were most radical/unique while Vanessa won every other one.) We also get in depth about the "explosive" finale of Little House on the Prairie and the possible tax ramifications of this unexpected narrative turn. We also play a round of CHANGE.DORK where we discuss petitions advocating for the return of the original Wonka bar, liberation for high school vending machines and should Metallica play the Super Bowl Halftime show? (You'll have to listen to find out, but Vanessa really doesn't think so.) Don't forget to check Tim out on the Two Tims Summer Tour as well as his upcoming performances with The Very Good Band, both of which are coming to your town soon.

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 it shaped us into the people we are today.
0:10.7	Who are a pretty awesome, great job if I do say so myself.

0:35.6	That is absolutely one of my favorite stories
0:38.2	from when we were kids. Do you want to hear it? Yeah, let's hear it. Okay. One time we stayed at this
0:43.8	hotel in Florida, or we were flying to Florida and we got stuck because there was a hurricane. I don't know.
0:48.8	Anyways, we ended up having this unexpected free stay over at a hotel somewhere with our family. And everything
0:56.2	was really impromptu. We were just doing whatever the hell we wanted. And we decided to order in
1:00.9	chicken wings to our room from room service. And that was very fun. And so, so mom ordered the chicken
1:07.9	wings and we're all in this room. And I'm going to say that you and I were like 11 and 13 maybe.
1:14.7	Older than you would think based on what happens now.
1:16.9	Yeah.
1:18.6	So as soon as the delivery guy got to the door, the room service delivery guy,
1:24.2	you and I were like, we should... We should hide from him.
1:30.3	So we go to...
1:32.3	Sorry.
1:33.3	It's just so funny.
1:36.3	This is before punked, before all those reality shows where people are just pranking each other.
1:41.3	If you can believe it.
1:43.3	So we go to the back of the room behind like both of the double beds and we just lie down
