Summary

This week we could not be happier to be joined by our very good friend the actress, comedian and musician Kate Micucci to discuss her childhood obsession with radio call-in contests, something she was so skilled at that eventually her local radio station told her she had to stop calling in. Along the way we discuss the time Jonah won Lilith Fair and Poison tickets from his local radio station and took Vanessa to both shows (Lilith Fair proved to be better attended), the lasting benefits of taking keyboarding classes in high school and the time Kate and Vanessa performed at a nineties-inspired music festival alongside Matchbox Twenty... or maybe it was Third Eye Blind? Finally, we play an inspiring round of our viral segment Change.dork, which explores everything from the barriers to entry for Funkytown to Crocs etiquette.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Vanessa Bayer and this is my brother Jonah.
0:06.0	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 pretty funky, if I do say so myself.
0:13.5	Welcome to How Did We Get Weird. I love that you put in funky.
0:29.2	I don't know, just feeling funky this week.

0:35.2	and maybe it's like sublimat all.
0:36.8	Yeah, that's such a funky band.
0:38.7	Totally.
0:39.8	My favorite stuff by them is actually that they're less funky stuff, the more kind of
0:43.4	stripped down californication type stuff, but they got a lot of funk in there as well.
0:48.0	What about Under the Bridge?
0:49.1	I think that's maybe my favorite song, maybe because it feels so nostalgic.
0:52.8	Yeah, that's a very nostalgic song. Good song. Good song. Not my favorite. I prefer maybe
0:57.6	like Sol to Squeeze. Right. That's a good one. Right. Yeah. And John Fresante is back in the band,
1:02.6	a long-time guitar player, and they just put out a new record, actually. Okay. Well, when we introduce
1:06.5	our guests, we're going to have to ask her what her favorite red hot chili pepper song is. So I hope she
1:11.5	started thinking about it. Got to find out. Remember how they were on the Beavis and Butthead soundtrack?
1:15.8	I don't remember that, but it sounds very likely. I think they were, but I could be wrong.
1:21.7	So, Jonah, in honor of the 4th of July, many people's favorite holiday, including our dad who was born on the 3rd of July.
1:28.9	Yep. That is true. Both of our parents born in July. Yeah. Our dad born on the 3rd of July,
