The first day of school comes but once a year, but the ramifacations of your outfit...well they can be felt for a lifetime. Today, notable former student and co-host of "How Did We Get Weird" Vanessa Bayer joins us to talk about this delicate time of yearly reinvention. We unpack the economic status of being hot in high school, the polarizing effects of dressing like you're from California, and whether or not it is abuse to ask someone "have we met before?" If you're currently in high school, this episode could save your life!
