How Did We Get Weird with Vanessa Bayer and Jonah Bayer6 Jul

Remember Blowing on Nintendo Cartridges? (with Jim Ward of Sparta and At The Drive-In)

This week, the Bayers are joined by post-hardcore loyalty in the form of Sparta and At The Drive-In guitarist and vocalist, Jim Ward! We discuss Jim's childhood growing up in El Paso, punishing bands at local venues and eventually becoming a musician himself. We also get Jim's seasoned take on tortillas and why you won't find Old El Paso brand tortillas in his pantry any time soon. From growing up as a small kid to performing on some of the biggest stages in the world, Jim has had quite a journey. We also debunk some facts about Jim, from owning restaurants to making his own backyard pizzas. However in what is possibly our biggest debunking ever, we explore the nostalgic phenomenon of blowing into Nintendo cartridges to make them work. Not to be forgotten, we also play a game of CHANGE DOT DORK where we discuss petitions advocating for the return of Takis Taco Shells, Pizzerias Chips and Sonic Drive-In's Java Chiller. Be sure to check out Sparta's brand new album "Cut A Silhouette" which is out now on Equal Vision Records and check out the band this summer when they come to your town!
