Summary

This week, Vanessa and Jonah are joined by an absolute legend: The First Todd aka their dad. Join our hosts on an audio journey that sees them finally getting the answer to childhood questions like why did they have a refrigerator full of Gyros for a full year of their adolescence, how close was their dad to buying a Dunkin' Donuts franchise and what do you do with a freezer full of sundaes? As you might guess, this food-centric episode sees our dad bemoaning the demise of McDonald's highly popular (and portable) Snack Wrap and explaining why Wendy's take on the fast food menu item doesn't live up to the hype. Todd also fills us in on a charitable and delicious promotion by Wendy's called the Wendy's Frosty Key Tag which allows him free Frosty Jr. 's for a full year for a one-time $2 donation to charity. Finally we introduce a new segment called TODD TALK where we get our dad's "hot takes" on food items he such as Peter Pan peanut butter, Pierre's Ice Cream and A1 Steak Sauce. So run, don't traipse, to this incredible new episode!

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Vanessa Bayer and this is my brother Jonah.
0:05.6	We're two siblings who love to talk about our childhood and nostalgia and how it shaped us into the people we are today.
0:10.6	Who know not to trapes, if I'm being quite honest.
0:13.6	Welcome to How Did We Get Weird. Wow, Jonah, I'm so excited about our guests today.
0:31.4	Big time guest today. I am very excited as well. Yeah, this has been a podcast a long time in the making, and so we could not be
0:38.8	more thrilled. Could not be more thrilled. I think we could just get into the intro and then we have
0:43.1	so many things to discuss. Oh, okay. Our guest today is someone who needs no introduction because we
0:48.0	talk about him on here all the time. Let's give it up for our dad. The first Todd, Todd Bayer. What's up, Dad?
0:55.1	Hi, everybody. How are you?
0:56.8	Good. How's it going?
0:58.1	It's going well. Glad to be here.
1:00.0	Great. Well, thanks for coming on. And me and Vanessa, have so many things we wanted to talk about.
1:04.1	I just wanted to say really quickly from our intro. I referenced traipsing.
1:08.7	And I just wanted to explain to our audience that also if you watch my show, I love that for you. My company at the end comes up and it's the first Todd, obviously named after our dad. But we have you dad saying no traipsing. And dad, do you want to explain why that's significant to Jonah and I?
1:24.7	Traipsing is a term that has been in my family for years. My mother used to use that
1:31.0	term. And what it means is when you come in from a dirty outdoors or from a dusty garage, we prefer that
1:39.3	you take your shoes off because if you don't take your shoes off and you walk in with dirty shoes,
1:44.8	you are traipsing and you are messing up the floor. When they come in, we say, please, no traipsing.
1:50.8	Yeah. And that's why at the end of, I love that for you, you hear my dad saying no traipsing.
1:54.4	Go ahead, Jonah. And I remember that definitely as a kid walking in from the garage and like my Doc Martins or something in here and no traips in. And look, Jonah, you and I used to have still some say do a little band called Jammin' Vibes.
2:06.9	And one of our, I would say, our biggest song was Traips in Away the Day.
2:10.4	Yes, classic tune.
