    Welcome to episode 2! Were you expecting to hear about Ryan Gosling and the robot apocalypse, well BUCKLE UP!! Carlos scratches the surface of the question of AI and Alison gives us her philosophy on the subject: Don't be shitty to robots! A major bomb is dropped in this episode about a new member of the So Weird family. Carlos sings! Is EVD leaving the show?!? We speculate wildly. We get into the absolute GALL of Squatch, child endangerment, car problems, taking the driving test, and our WORST green screen so far! Mackenzie Phillips over Ryan Gosling any day, all day. Shoutout to @UCSantaCruz and don't forget to edit that Wiki for Paul Lynch, Sweirdos!

    Bonus: Brink!

    Surprise! It’s time to dive in to Lords of Dogtown..For Tweens! We’re back with guests (Alexis Gay from way back in the day, and Michelle Morales from well...now!) We dive into our DCOM love and explore Alexis’ never-ending, abiding love of EVD (despite how much of a sociopath Brink can be). We talk about how Gabriela is the REAL hero of the movie (and Brink should not get off that easy…) and imagine the sequel set 20 years later, starring Brink and Val’s daughter...also wtf this was based off of a novel from 1865???!!

    Season 1 Episode 13 - Switchfootfan45

    Season 1 Episode 13 - Switchfootfan45

    We review the final episode of this season with a special guest (Vivian Nguyen) in a haunted hospital! Listen as our guest guides us through the spirit world and we talk about whatever a Will-o'-the-wisp is, pool sharks, ghost hunting, and we still don’t know Gorb’s name (and we never will!). We learn that being Scottish apparently looks the same as being super high and that plain bagels are the food of the gods for fairies! This episode establishes that the spirit world is after our heroine, but will Henry Winkler stop with the offensive accents, and will Rupaul go for our ghost hunting show pitch ( The Ultimate Death Drop: Now available on itunes)? We will have to check back next season for these answers and more! Stay tuned for a special BONUS ghost hunt episode where we explore some secret rooms in the spooky hospital and really push our guest’s patience to the limits!
    Vivian LOVES the supernatural and when she’s not fantasizing about Sasquatch or Christian rock you can catch her performing with Endgame’s Harold team, Classic Diane!

Loooovvveee my weird Disney nostalgia

I loved So Weird and am so stoked to have these nerds going over it as adults. Keeps me giggling at work and looking to find episodes. Give us the missing episode!! 😂

NewsIsTheNewBlack ,

YES finally!

I love shows that look back at something I used to love—in this case it's the Disney Channel show 'So Weird'! It's fun to realize the ways in which this show was kind of buckwild, though I for sure did not notice it at the time. Actually Pretty Typical is like having a convo with friends about something you all experienced as kids :). Also, Alison and Carlos are really funny together and I like their guests!
