Barenaked ABCs - Alphabetical Barenaked Ladies Catalog

Well, in our current culture, there are a lot of things that I want again. But this week we talk about wanting her back again. No guests this week, which makes me want them again.  However, we have Aaron back. So enjoy us being back again this week.

Welcome to the Barenaked ABCs.  This week we are talking with one of the few people to have written a song with Ed that then recorded that song without BNL. But beyond that, he is a country music legend who has been recording for more than 40 years. I’ll leave the big intro for the episode, but this guy is an amazing storyteller.  I hope you enjoy our conversation with John Berry.

Who better to talk about having a baby than 4 guys?!  No. We aren’t mansplaining. This song is about a man having a baby. So it works (thank goodness, because we are still without Michelle for a while). Don’t have a cow, man. Just sit back, relax, and listen to 4 guys talking about a really fun song.

Well, it is harsh out there. “The truth to be fair is that” we can make it through this… together.  #SocialDistancingNow doesn’t mean that we have to be alone, just safe.  Are you lonely?  Well, the man in this week’s song is.

Welcome back for Hanukkah in March.  Okay, it’s not as catchy as Christmas in July, but at least it’s not kvetchy.  Bonnie is back joining us again for this discussion, and we are without Aaron. Enjoy anyway!

We’re back!  Sorry.  I don’t think I have the heart to tell you, but we are without Aaron this week. But I won’t be heartless and make you listen to just me talk about this song.  Erik Butterworth, a long time fan of BNL is here to join us.  Oh, and we will be talking about Half A Heart.

I am in awe this week.  It is coincidental that the month we have been talking about the Barenaked Ladies Variety Show pilot, Harland Williams agreed to join us and talk about all his projects.  He is hilarious and please visit all the links below.  Go out and buy his children’s books, his “The Cousins” album, his stand-up specials, and go buy tickets to see him do live stand up on tour!  Also go watch his new project “Two Guys in Their Underpants”. Oh yeah, and listen to his amazing interview here! 

We will be back with music reviews next week.   

If you want to buy “The Cousins” album (which we all highly recommend), you can get it on iTunes and in any store or online store that sells CDs or digital music.

Did you know that Barenaked Ladies recorded a pilot for Fox? If not, how did you miss last week’s interview? As a matter of fact, we break down this episode in detail, so go watch it before you listen because SPOILERS!!!

Thank you for Jeff Whitmire and Bobby Keniston for joining me this week for the discussion!

This week we take a hiatus from songs while we talk to Brent Carpenter. He co-directed and edited the Barenaked Ladies pilot for FOX. Before you start listening today, you should know that this week and next we will be discussing the Barenaked Ladies pilot episode.  There will be spoilers throughout the discussion, especially next week.  So I highly encourage you to watch the episode listed below before listening. Also, while recording, we had to step away for 10 minutes due to technical issues, so there is a break in the conversation and it might seem a little stilted. I have tried to edit as best I could to make it seamless.
