Summary

This week on the podcast the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome their friend Paul James! They explore the sometimes controversial move of adding chicken to a salad, and speaking of, they talk about chain restaurants like Paul's favorite restaurant Benihana, and how his job at PF Chang's got him his first big acting gig! Plus, Vanessa and Paul reminisce about filming "I Love That For You" and Vanessa gives a never-filmed season 2 spoiler for Paul's character "Jordan." And the trio talk all about the incredible band "No Doubt"! Paul tells us how emulated their style from hair to shoes, how much he loves their sound, and what albums to listen to if you want to do a deeper dive of the band. And speaking of nostalgic music, Paul shows off an uncanny ability to name both of the bands that sing nineties songs about Superman! And you can join an effort to help Paul find the nineties song that's always in his head but that he can't name! Plus, Jonah teaches us what a "Wall of Death" is at a concert and tells us a very cool Seven Mary Three Joke he made to the singer. So don't let life become cumbersome and listen to this fantastic episode!

UPDATE: Mystery Solved! The song Paul had been searching for is “Rapture” by the band “Seed." Thank you to the listener who found it!!
