Remember Free To Be... You And Me? (with Gillian Jacobs)

How Did We Get Weird with Vanessa Bayer and Jonah Bayer

This week on the podcast we are thrilled to be joined by actress, director and friend Gillian Jacobs! Gillian and Vanessa talk about co-starring along with Phoebe Robinson in the 2018 film "Ibiza," and give some crucial behind-the-scenes info about the production, including Vanessa's mission to take as much free stuff as possible. We also discuss Gillian's respect for the public library, get a few more physical and digital book scams from Jonah and hear why staying out of trouble as a teenager is actually a really cool move. Finally we dig into Marlo Thomas' incredible creative project "Free To Be... You And Me," which had a huge impact on all of us as kids—and also learn about the time Gillian interviewed Marlo all about the project for Glamour magazine. Finally we play a round of CHANGE DOT DORK where we discuss the merits of bringing back Taco Bell's brownie sandwich, changing "knitting to gnitting" for all you Palindrome-heads and if gym class should be optional for kids who have no interest in sports and are there to actually, you know, learn. Glad to have a friend like Gillian because this is a fantastic episode!
