Summary

Gabe Liedman is not only the sweetest person on earth, but this writer, producer and actor is also our amazing guest on this week's HDWGW! We talk about hair inspirations, from Vanessa and Gabe's admiration of Claire Danes in "My So-Called Life" to the previously unknown influence a teenager with a Jason Newsted haircut that Jonah saw during his childhood had on his style trajectory. Of course, we also discuss our love for Manic Panic hair dye, which runs as deep as our respect for its creators. That's not all! We dig into our celebrity doppelgängers and reminisce about independent record stores, ranging from Cleveland's Record Revolution to Philadelphia's Zipperhead. Finally, we play a round of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN where we debate if the government is conspiring against literacy by banning light bulbs, hear about how perfume impacts one very judgmental Plain Dealer subscriber's experience at Playhouse Theatre and play a subgame called LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN: BATTLEZONE that pits millennials against seniors and features some of the most condescending attitudes we've ever heard on this podcast... and that's saying a lot.

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 getting into the holiday spirit, if I do say so myself.
0:14.5	Welcome to How Did We Get Weird. So, Jonah, I was thinking about throughout our lives different celebrities that people have told us that we look like and how that hasn't always gone great for us.
0:40.1	You know, for me it's been a real mixed bag. And I think probably for you as well, I know that
0:45.1	being someone with curly hair personally, a lot of people just based on that have told me I
0:50.7	look like people. Like I remember when I was in college interning, my boss would always
0:56.6	tell me I look like Chelsea Clinton. Interesting. And I don't see a huge resemblance except that we both
1:01.7	had curly hair. Sure. I just don't think we look alike. I, you know, and so that was one.
1:06.6	And then when I got to college, I remember multiple people told me they thought I looked like Sigourney Weaver.
1:12.1	Wow.
1:12.6	Which I don't know if that was based on my face or hair.
1:17.9	Also, someone with curly hair.
1:20.0	I don't know, Jonah, do you think I look like Sigourney Weaver?
1:22.4	No, I don't think so.
1:23.7	I also think of her as being so like an older generation.
1:27.4	Yes. But I guess you could still look like someone being so like an older generation. Yes.
1:27.7	But I guess you could still look like someone who's in a different generation.
1:30.3	But no, I don't really see that one.
1:31.7	I mean, as you know, I've gotten some very strange ones over the years.
1:35.1	Now I just get basically any guy with a mustache.
1:37.1	Right.
