Summary

This week the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome the hilarious and delightful Ty Burrell! You may know Ty from his starring as Phil Dunphy on "Modern Family," but did you know that as a child he went to school in a literal one-room schoolhouse? Plus we get into his time working at his dad's store where he got to pump Steve Miller's gasoline and down incredible amounts of free snacks! Speaking of things he and Vanessa have in common, we learn that they both will take an entire pack of gum from a craft services table rather than taking a single piece (it just makes sense?) and they both get into how they got the acting bug, and how Ty's dad and Jonah got the therapist bug! Finally, in a rousing game of CHANGE.DORK, the trio discuss petitions for a Modern Family Christmas Reunion Special, opening a Dutch Bros in Bellingham (and Ty also teaches us what a Dutch Bros is), and some guy named Ben making an appearace on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Be sure to check out this fantastic episode and speaking of fantastic episodes, be sure to listen to Ty's new podcast "The Good Life," which you can find wherever you get your podcasts! Tell them Todd, Melissa and Noah sent you!
