Hi, I'm Vanessa Bayer and this is my brother Jonah.

We're two siblings who love to talk about our childhood and nostalgia and how it shaped us into the people we are today.

Who are Pedro the Dian to talk to today's guest.

Welcome to How Did We Get Weird. how did we get weird?

Wow, very good one, Vanessa.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, it's just a little something I came up with.

Nice. Well, yeah, I wanted to get into it with our guests, but I wanted to say, you know, our guest, when I lived in New York, used to play a lot of these house shows where he would, basically, they would set up shows of people's apartments. And I think I went to all of them. I think I went to every single one.

I would email our guest or his manager and I would just go.

And then we almost had this like crew where we would go and then we would like hang out afterwards.

And it was so it was so interesting because these were kind of people

I never really talked to outside the context of our guests but whenever he came to town I was like

oh I get to see like these friends who all actually live in the same town as me but I never really

actually hang out with except at these shows and so it yeah, it was like a really cool experience to have

this like, I'm going to show, I'm also going to see these friends. I never get to see. And then I'll

probably see again in six months because they happen pretty regularly. Because I came through a lot.

You came through a lot. And you came through with the solo stuff. And then I remember you came

through the headphones and yeah a lot so that was yeah

I was going to say I when you when you said that this guest was coming on I was very excited because

I was like oh this is such a nostalgic person to me because I feel like every other day that I

you would be like I got to go to the show and you'd be like it was sort of I feel like we had a conversation once where you were like if he's playing I will go to his show like it it's not like I will like I will it doesn't matter what my week looks like I will you got to go you got to go and it goes back yeah yeah thank you yeah it goes back. It goes, goes way back. But yeah, let's just get into it. Today, you probably have figured this out by now. Our guest is a singer-songwriter. He's performed on their names, Peter the Lion. Headphones. Of course, David Bazan. It's welcome David Bazan. Dave, how's it going?
