Summary

This week we are thrilled to be joined on the podcast by the hilarious writer and actor, Jeremy Beiler who you might know as the co-creator of Vanessa's incredible Showtime series I LOVE THAT FOR YOU. On this episode of the podcast, Vanessa and Jeremy reminisice about writing sketches together on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE when they weren't hunting down snacks in other departments of 30 Rock in the early morning hours. We also do a collective deep dive into one of the most unhealthy kids foods of all-time, Lunchables! Did you know that they had a short-lived spin-off called Brunchables? Sorry, but you do now. Finally we play a nostalgic round of BACK TO THE PRESENT where Jonah wishes he could experience the joy of shopping for concert T-shirts using tiny pictures tucked away in magazines, Vanessa recalls using wooden shoe stretchers as a painful childhood toy and Jeremy makes a very convincing case for bringing back the color teal. So break out your shark's tooth necklace and let's get into this!

0:44.4	I think it's done. And he was a lot less lazy than me, and he would be awake, kind of fixing
0:52.6	stuff. And I said in our intro that we're quite hap,
0:56.5	because hap is a word that he and I came up with when we were writing this Don Lazarus

1:07.7	Like we can maybe get into it with him,
1:09.5	although it's basically just that she used

1:16.4	Anyway, finally we got her on weekend update. And he and I really had a very fun time coming up
