Summary

This week, the Bayer siblings are so excited to welcome actor and comedian Will Forte to the podcast. You know Will from "Saturday Night Live," "MacGruber" and "The Last Man On Earth," but did you know that he grew up eating a Sausage Cheese Zombie before early morning swim practice? On this episode we talk about Will and Vanessa almost overlapping on SNL, the current status of Battleball (aka Dodgeball) in gym class and Will's childhood hobby: Sports cards! We get deep into Will's incredibly valuable collection, why he continued to collect cards as an adult and how he's been able to use his passion to benefit charities. We also play a round of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we discuss the return of Sour Altoids, the "Scary Movie" franchise return—and who wouldn't want a Hot Coca-flavored Chips Ahoy! cookie? So cozy up and listen to this incredible episode!
