Summary

This week we welcome lead singer of "Lamb of God" our friend Randy Blythe! We talk about everything from Indiana Jones movies to real-life encounters with Keanu Reeves, like when Vanessa recently talked to him for twenty minutes about his star turn in the Paula Abdul "Rush Rush Video" (uh oh are they best friends now?) plus Randy and Jonah try to teach Vanessa the difference between punk and metal, concert etiquette and much more. We also dive into the classic Old El Paso taco kit and how the seasoning still holds up today. And we get into the allure of Boboli and Digiorno pizza, which made you feel you were really making the real stuff/delivery! We also discuss classic family recipes like chicken tetrazzini, noodle kugel, and Jonah's ultimate favorite: orange juice (according to our Grandma). And we play another exciting game of "Legit Moan or Unnecessary Groan" that covers texting at dinner, holding the door at post offices, and radio stations playing Christmas music around Thanksgiving. If you miss this episode you might get a visit from Krampus, and if you don't know who that is, you will learn from this episode- obvi it's a must-listen!

0:10.5	Who are pretty fascinated by the arts, if I do say so myself.
0:14.2	Welcome to How Did We get Weird. So, Jonah, the other day I was just watching TV and I happened to catch the movie Rebel
0:33.2	Without a Cause, which I'd never seen before.
0:35.9	And honestly, it reminded me of getting to meet one
0:38.9	of my heroes a couple months ago. A little guy you may know by the name of Keanu Reeves,
0:43.9	ever heard of him, Jonah? Yeah, I have heard of him. Yes. Yes. So you met Keanu Reeves,

1:06.2	Keanu's here. Do you want to meet him? And I was like, yeah. And the first thing I said to him was like,

1:15.7	Well, he was like, that's kind of an older one. I was like, yeah. And then I immediately jumped to
1:20.1	the rush, rush video, Paula Abdul's song Rush Rush, which in the early 90s, she did a music video starring her and Keanu Reeves that was
1:28.6	kind of based on Rebel Without a Cause. And when I tell you, Jonah, that I talked to him about
1:32.7	the Rush Rush music video for 15 to 20 minutes, I am not exaggerating. Was he into talking about it?
1:39.8	He was so nice about it. Like, he was like talking about like, you know, I was like asking him questions.
1:45.5	I was like, why were you holding like the milk up to your head? I mean, you know, he's holding like a
