The "Weird Al" Phabet

This week, we saw a baby drive a truck and we talk about our theories on how Al wrote this song of a random list of stuff in the style of The Foo Fighters! Also, Dan goes into the awesome history of Dave Grohl!

We are joined by Kelly Phillips (author and cartoonist of the "Weird Me" comic book) to discuss Al Yankovic's two children's books: "My New Teacher and Me!" and "When I Grow Up". We geek out about Al fandom, how we all have a Grandpa Joe, and how we all have crushes on Liam Neeson!

It's not everyday you get to talk to a talented singer and vocal coach like Lisa Popeil, so we think it's safe to say that this is a special occasion. Learn all about her side of the making of Mr. Popeil as well as some fun facts about some of the other songs she was also a background vocalist on, what turned her towards teaching, and how much we all love to gush about Al.
