Summary
This week on the podcast the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome hilarious delight and star of "The RIghteous Gemstones" Edi Patterson! You may know that Edi plays Judy Gemstone, but did you know she grew up loving Saturday Morning Shows? And speaking of, what the hell was going on with "Out of This World" and the alien dad? And while we're at it, we get into what the former star of "Small Wonder" is up to today and honestly, it rocks. Plus, Edi and Vanessa discuss several times they met and really liked each other, like when Edi had a very successful run as a guest writer on SNL and made sure a very funny shot of Vanessa made it to air in the NuvaBling commercial. Plus, we get into what media on tv, from what got us to drink milk to Vanessa being scared of drug dealers giving out free drugs to Edi drinking a raw egg. And finally, in a rousing game of "YES OR NO-STALGIA" we discuss the return of Black Bean Soup coming back to Panera (related to the Gilmore Girls?), a Baywatch reboot, and the return of the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl. So check out this gem of an episode with a gem of a guest!
