I’m not feeling very capable this week to write the intro.  But I keep telling myself that I Can, I Will, and I Do.  Although I’m not sure why I say the last part because it sounds pretty weird.  But that is what this week’s song does to me.  This week we are joined by the pop-culture anthropologist, Ali McBride!  Stop Us If You Heard This Before version  BLAMen version  PLUGS!!!!  Follow Ali on T...

Barenaked Ladies sometimes likes to state the obvious.  And this week, we discuss them doing just that, in song form. Joining us is Marc from Ghostman Radio Podcast!  Sorry about the audio. We had some significant internet difficulties.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tUSX3tMKto (snacktime)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLf1IuuyEiE (with persuasions)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSTHlOR-e...

Ok. I couldn’t come up with a pun to describe this week’s song.  It’s too big a task.  Some might say it is gargantuan.  Or giant.  Or ginormous.  I can’t think of any other words to describe this task, so I’ll just introduce the song.  This week we are talking about “Humungous Tree”.   Humungous Tree  Appearance  Brothers Creeggan with Ed on drums playing “Humungous Tree”  Learn more about your a...

Knock Knock. Who’s there? Barenaked ABCs with special guest Fully Clothed Gents, the premiere BNL-tribute band, and we are talking about “Humor of the Situation”.

I worked hard on this week’s episode, even though the quality doesn’t quite sound like it.  I had to keep asking “How’s The Level?”  And finally had to answer “Okay”.  So please forgive me if Jeff’s audio sounds Buck Naked.  Oh… and we are discussing all these things this week.  Buck Naked  (new rip)  Appearance  WATCH | Barenaked Ladies Talk About ‘The Yellow Tape’ Process for ripping Buck Naked...

Welcome to Christmas in… May…. June?  What month are we in now?  Are we still even in 2020?  All sense of reality is gone, and this song is not helping.  Luckily I am surrounded by some great friends, including Katherine Cornetta to talk about this week’s “song”.   Holly Jolly Christmas (online)  Appearance  Universal Honey “The Celebration” from Can’t Stop Thinking About Christmas  Tyler is on th...

Hello! Sorry. I was just playing hide and seek with my male child. He is doing a great job though and I can’t find him. So I’m going to record this podcast while I wait for him to come out.

This week we had a guest from the other side of the country. We had to bring him in through the air to get here in time. Given social distancing, airplane travel didn’t seem right. So David Kincannon brought his own helicopter. I love it when a plan comes together. And speaking of veterans, this week we discuss a protest song, “Helicopters”.  “Helicopters” from Maroon  Bruce Cockburn documentary ...

Well, in our current culture, there are a lot of things that I want again. But this week we talk about wanting her back again.

So enjoy us being back again this week.  “He Makes Me Want Her Again”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUoCVONEvVc  Bathroom sessions Live at songwriters workshop on Ships and Dips 3 Cruise  (...

Welcome to the Barenaked ABCs.  This week we are talking with one of the few people to have written a song with Ed that then recorded that song without BNL. But beyond that, he is a country music legend who has been recording for more than 40 years. I’ll leave the big intro for the episode, but this guy is an amazing storyteller.  I hope you enjoy our conversation with John Berry.  https://soundcl...

Who better to talk about having a baby than 4 guys?!  No. We aren’t mansplaining. This song is about a man having a baby. So it works (thank goodness, because we are still without Michelle for a while). Don’t have a cow, man. Just sit back, relax, and listen to 4 guys talking about a really fun song.  https://soundcloud.com/user-946961552/episode-113-having-a-baby “(Steven Page Is) Having a Baby”...

Well, it is harsh out there. “The truth to be fair is that” we can make it through this… together.  #SocialDistancingNow doesn’t mean that we have to be alone, just safe.  Are you lonely?  Well, the man in this week’s song is.

I am in awe this week.  It is coincidental that the month we have been talking about the Barenaked Ladies Variety Show pilot, Harland Williams agreed to join us and talk about all his projects.  He is hilarious and please visit all the links below.  Go out and buy his children’s books, his “The Cousins” album, his stand-up specials, and go buy tickets to see him do live stand up on tour!  Also go...
