We're only kidding! This whole episode is joke! We're covering "I Was Only Kidding" from Off the Deep End. Happy April Fools Day!

This conversation runs all over the map. John plays some jokes. Lauren is on location at Brewz in Atlantic Beach. It's a good time. John is a super bougie coffee boi. John has a constipated Roomba. You can pick your friends, you can pick your butt, but you can't pick your friend's butt. Our favorite Vacation movies. What the heck even happened to country music? And more!

Lauren has Black Widow from original Sin. John has Smoke and Mirrors from Revision Brewing Company. Cheers!

We're wrapping up Women's History Month in style here at the Beer'd Al Podcast. I've got Lily Hirsch back to talk some more about her book (a tome, really) Weird Al: Seriously. We dig into the chapter "Junking Gender" and explore the ways gender and toxic masculinity are touched upon in the music of "Weird Al." We also talk a little bit about how excited we are for the upcoming movie, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

Lily is seriously (no pun intended) one of my favorite people to talk to, and I'm sure you'll love this conversation. She's my "Weird Al" ladybro!

Lily has an exciting expanded paperback edition of her book coming out soon!

We’re getting “Inactive” this week! This is from the 2014 album Mandatory Fun, so that means you MUST listen! Join us as we try to imagine some dragons… Is a dragon a reptilian pegasus? We talk about snack foods, how this song could have been mean but isn’t, the psychology of food, the JG Wentworth commercial, the travesty that is unfrosted PopTarts, Cece’s taste in movies, our favorite snack foods, some JG Wentworth “would you rather,” who has the best NFL uniforms, and more!

We're starting to go through all of Al's albums again! And we're doing something new with it. Each new album we discuss will be methodically and meticulously ranked! We're each going to rank the songs on an album and then compare notes. It's fun!

My guinea pig for this experiment is JT from the Brew Crime podcast. We're tackling 1999's Running with Scissors. Hoooo boy! Let me tell you what... We had so much fun. Differing opinions led to some great conversations! This is an episode you definitely won't want to miss. Do you want to laugh? Then join us as we laugh our way through Running with Scissors.

And I'd love to hear how YOU would rank the songs on Running with Scissors. Leave a comment, shoot a message over, let me know!

This week we’re talking about “This is the Life” from 1985’s Dare to be Stupid album. We have so much fun in this episode. We even have a visit from little Cecelia to help us kick this off. We cover all sorts of stuff. Is a quintilogy a thing? How about a sextilogy? Would bathing in sparkling water have a scrubbing property? We talk a little about Golden Girls & Golden Palace. Would a solid gold Cadillac actually function? Some unique cover band ideas. The Good Place. What Blake Bortles does when he wakes up. SPORTS SHOW! What should we do for our 2 year anniversary? Some really great knock knock jokes. And so much more!

Oh boy! Put on your sexy pants. It's time for "Wanna B Ur Lovr." This is a weird song. And, considering the source, that's really saying something. We had a ton of fun talking about it, and we're sure you're going to have a ton of fun listening.

 
A little disclaimer: Since the song is full of "subtle innuendo," so is our conversation. I just wanted to put that out there.
