It's another rollicking trip through one of the greatest albums in the history of the world! The list of the greatest albums in the history of the world, of course, includes the entirety of "Weird Al" Yankovic's oeuvre. 

This week, Lauren is joined by Brian from the Playlist Wars podcast. We're going track by track through Al's 1984 offering In 3-D. You don't want to miss it!

Why do both of our beers have flesh in them? Butthole fires and a pillow made of corned beef. Dad is Buckethead. Edward Vedward. Are green onions and scallions the same thing? You're shrimply the best.

For context on all this, you'll want to listen to this episode! We're talking about "My Baby's in Love with Eddie Vedder" from 1999's Running with Scissors.

This episode also features a cover of our theme song by our pal Zeb!

Lauren has Jam Flow from Blaze Brewing Co., and John has Flannel Weather: Motueka from New Trail Brewing Co AND Heyna Or Gose from Benny Brewing Company. Cheers!

WOW. This episode has EVERYTHING. Laughs, great music discussion, beers galore, and so much more! Lauren is joined by Aaron and KC from The Itch Rock Radio & Podcast to discuss Al's 1993 masterpiece (because, let's face it, every Weird Album is a masterpiece in some way) Alapalooza. This is a laughapalooza, a beerapalooza, and a funapalooza.

We're tackling a song that's in the top 10 of our completely subjective list! "Mr. Popeil" is off of Al's In 3-D album, and it is PERFECT. Listen in as we talk about the late Ron Popeil's legacy, the B-52's, inventions, and a whole lot more. This one had me crying laughing, and it better darn well do the same for you.

Lauren has Pales In Comparison from Edmund's Oast Brewing Company, and John has No Need Worry & Haole Red from Lanahu Ales. Cheers!

This week, Lauren is joined by Nick from the Drep and Stone Podcast to have a fun generAL conversation! In this free-wheeling chat, we cover all the bases... If the bases include beer, "Weird Al," and beards, that is.

This episode is difficult. I mean, it's complicated. It's "A Complicated Song," that is! We actually stay on topic for most of this one - we break the song down verse by verse with a few little detours here and there. How long would all that leftover pizza last? What's with the thigh tattoo? Is he alive or dead after the decapitation? Listen in as we get really frustrated about an amusement park mascot.

This episode also includes a recipe!

John has Hey Cuz from Lanahu Ales and Lauren has Impending Descent from Troegs Beer. Cheers!

Lauren wraps up POLKA WEEK with a discussion of the 1986 "Weird Al" album Polka Party. She's joined by Rob from the Great Song Podcast. This is an underrated album... And we GUSH about it HARD, folks. If this episode doesn't bring a smile to your face, then you probably aren't human.

Happy National Polka Day!

Our hero, "Weird Al" Yankovic has brought polka to the masses with his fun pop polka medleys. But what is polka culture really like?

Lauren sits down with Scott Sanfilippo (Jay Scott, to WARD-AM Polka Weekend listeners back in the day) to talk about the phenomenon that is polka.

We're kicking off POLKA WEEK with a discussion about "Bohemian Polka" from 1993's Alapalooza album. We discuss Queen, why so many activities involve changing your shoes, what makes a good "Weird Al" polka, and so much more! 

John has Lucifer in a Haze from 18th Street Brewery, and Lauren has Stowe Craft Cider Citrus Ginger Seltzer AND Impossibly Black from Dirtbag Ales. Cheers!
