Beer‘d Al Podcast

We're talking about "Frank's 2000" TV" today. Everybody come and see! You won't believe it! 

We dig into things like... How big is this TV really? Would Robert De Niro's mole REALLY be 10 feet wide? Musical evolution, fever dreams, TV shows, how John's daughter pronounces things, and so much more. Lauren even comes in hot with some beer knowledge and some free writing composition lesson plan advice. There may or may not be a brief moment of opera singing. John has Slightly Mighty from Dogfish Head (because he had to mention Delaware at least once) and Lauren has Free Strata from BlackStack Brewing. Cheers!

Our promo this week is for Married Mash. They are a great husband and wife podcast for whiskey/bourbon tasting. Check them out!

We have one heck of an episode to kick of 2021! With the help of some podcast friends and Weird Al fans, we've put together an amazing compilation of people just gushing about what Weird Al means to them. You want to start the year off with some positivity? This is the episode for you! Thank you to Weird Al for being a light in so many lives.

In light of the fact that we just let these people be themselves, there's some language in this episode. Consider yourself warned.

We also have some home brew made by our very own Uncle Dan. Cheers!

This week, we're talking about "Buy Me A Condo"... We dive into 80s consumerism, the LaCoste/IZOD alligator, Amway, and so much more! There's also a giant detour where John just goes OFF about David Bowie for some reason. (Bowie is, like, John's FAVORITE so Lauren just let him go.) John has I'm An Alligator by Singlecut, and Lauren has Virtual Tiki Party by New Image Brewing. Cheers!

We are so excited today! We are joined by Nathan Rabin - the author of TWO of the greatest books about "Weird Al" ever written. He was kind enough to spend some time with us talking about his work, "Weird Al," and some other stuff (as usual). Cheers!

Buy his book(s)! (But especially this one... The Weird Accordion to Al)

Immediately after we finished talking with our dad (the episode you heard two days ago), we decided to jump right into our "Gump" episode. So we're each already 2 beers in when we START this bad boy. Bearing that in mind, this is a super fun conversation. We DO talk about "Gump." We DO talk about 90s alt music. And we DO talk about a whole lot of other stuff. We're fun, though, so you should like it. John has Brainless Raspberries by Epic, and Lauren has That's My Boat from Stellwagen. Cheers!

It's a family affair on this VV Special Episode of the Beer'd Al Podcast. We're joined today by our dad (Dave to his peers), and he's telling us about all of the things we mis-remembered in some of our early episodes. He himself even gets corrected by our mom (Jen to her peers) at one point! This is a long, rambly, silly episode that we hope brightens your day a bit. Cheers! (We have WAY TOO MANY beers for me to even list here. Listen for them.)
