In celebration of the New York Times article on Weird Al, we talk to one of the people in that big photo. Alison is a big fan of Al and traveled halfway across the country just to be part of this event.

We also debate the value of Isle Thing from the UHF soundtrack, and whether we should have scored it higher back in the day.

Jeff from the podcast Talk Me Into discuses his love for Al’s marching band themed Sports Song from Mandatory Fun.

Check Jeff’s podcast out at talkmeinto.com. Especially check out episode 27 and 31 which deal specifically with Weird Al Yankovic.

We dive deep into Al’s 90s stuff and review an unpublished, but leaked, version of another Star Wars song.

After seeing pictures from Nerd Prom and this week getting more then 10 thousand followers on TikTok, we had to interview Nikki, or as the TikTok community knows, @almondmoose (the animal not the food).

Nikki debates Waffle King with us, one of two Peter Gabriel style parodies on the Alapalooza album. We also talk favorite Al songs, tiktok videos, and how people get into Al in the first place.

Be sure to check out Nikki on TikTok! You could be follower 10,001! Also check for the hidden hot dogs and pancrei?

We were lucky enough to have Raquel from Fest of Al on to debate the Lady Gaga Perform this Way parody. We also got to talk about this year’s Fest of Al. For more info on the festival in Colorado from June 26th-28th go to festofal.com.

Matt is back with us to debate Al’s Police parody of King of Pain from the In 3-D album.

Previous podcast guest Angela joins us to talk about Al’s zydeco classic My Baby’s in Love with Eddie Vedder.

Dan (from the Weird Al-phabet Podcast) ditches the rest of the guys and joins us to talk about a song from Al’s second album- That Boy Could Dance. A song that Al seems to have liked enough to add it as the b-side to the Eat It single. Dan brings his unique perspective, insight, and research to talk about this song we originally rated pretty low.
