We're dipping into the vault again... and this time our MOM is on! This was a fun episode. _____________________ 2021 Show Notes It's our Mother's Day special! Our mom joins us for a discussion of her "Weird Al" song of choice - "Tacky." Listen as we have a fun conversation about the song, how mom has "done almost everything" in the song, an Italian restaurant with questionable ties, and so much m...

Our dad's birthday is on Monday, so we figured we'd celebrate with a re-release of his epic "Yoda" discussion. You'll love it! _____________________ 2021 Show Notes Happy Father's Day! We have a real treat for you today! We're talking about one of the biggest "Weird Al" songs there is, and we've got our dad back on the show to help us do it.

I'm re-releasing some classic Beer'd Al this week! We kicked off 2021 with this stupendous episode, and I think it's worth listening to again. ___________________________ 2021 Show Notes 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...

The series continues! We know that "Weird Al" means a lot to a lot of people--and everyone has a different story. So I'm setting out to give people the space to tell those stories. I'm encouraging everyone to send me a clip (30 seconds to 3 minutes) talking about what "Weird Al" means to you. And I'll put that in a super special episode later this year! And if you want to talk for more than 3 minu...

What a joy this episode is! Friend of the show and overall delightful human Tyler is back! We're talking about underrated track's on "Weird Al" Yankovic --the self-titled debut album.

And I'm still calling for submissions to our "What 'W...

Poodle Hat is a special album in this house. That's why Lauren, Russ, and Zakk had to sit down and talk about it! It's a family affair this week (isn't it always) on Beer'd Al. Oops, all Robinsons! (Very much on purpose all Robinsons, actually.) What do you think is the most underrated track on Poodle Hat ? Beer'd Al is a poodle hat-o-riffic member of the OddPods Media Network . Our promo this wee...

We FINALLY made it through med school. Somehow we made it through. Actually, we didn't. We're just talking about two versions of "Like a Surgeon." Our conversation today revolves around both the 1985 original (well, parody) and the 2022 re-record for Weird . This is John's last episode before he takes a little bit of time to become a dad again! He's done it before, he'll do it again. This time, it...

Yeah, yeah, we've talked about "Midnight Star" before. But that doesn't mean we can't talk about it again! I'm joined by "Weird Al" fan and friend of the show Noah to do JUST THAT. You want to talk about a song we've already talked about before? You can! Slide into our DMs or shoot an email to beerdalpodcast@gmail.com. Hooray! This ain't Noah's first podcast rodeo, either. Check out his appearance...

We know we're a "Werid Al" podcast, but we're giving "Weird Al" a break this week. And, usually, when we take breaks on this show, it's a break for Brak. This is no different. EXCEPT IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Because this week we actually have Brak on the show! Sit back, relax, and listen in as we nerd out about all sorts of things! And you may or may not (you will) get to hear some Brak singing ! W...

It doesn't get any better than this! I've got two of my favorite fellas on the show today to talk about Even Worse ! Riche from the Super Media Bros podcast and fellow member of the OddPods Media Network joins us to figure out what some of the most underrated tracks on this album are. Russ, my husband and Chief Awesome Officer at the Infectious Groove Podcast & YouTube channel is here, too! Th...

I FEEL BAD! We're talking about "Living with a Hernia" from Polka Party today. Why? Because it was just the 4th of July... so America and whatnot. "Living with a Hernia" is a parody of "Living in America." So, you get it. DIG. Lauren has Polka Party from Fireforge Crafted Beer and Flying Saucer from Ruby Beach Brewing. John has Bomb Pop from Funk Brewing and Sour Me America from DuClaw Brewing Com...

Underrated... What's that mean? Well, Lauren is joined by Dayton from Dockingbay77 to figure that out! For Alpocalypse , that is.

Check out Dockingbay77 for all your pop culture shenannigans. Beer'd Al is an alpocalyptic member of the Odd...

Boy, that boy could dance! Lauren & John are discussing “That Boy Could Dance” from In 3-D this week. We talk about the importance of fandom, community, and finding your people. We talk about food. We do a lot of singing. There’s a BRAK BREAK. There are patented Beer’d Al tangents. TV recommendations! WHAT DAY IS IT? How much of the show are we? Lauren has Electric Dino Boogie from Toppling Go...

You know what's great? "Weird Al" is great. You know what's also great? People with podcasts about "Weird Al"! No, we're not talking about ourselves this time. We're talking about WeirdPals! This week Lauren is joined by Tim from the WeirdPals podcast to talk about some underrated tracks on the Alapalooza album. Tim comes with DATA, folks. And you know how much the good people at Beer'd Al love da...

John is back! It’s year four of the show! We’ve got a good one for you. We’re talking about “Stop Draggin’ My Car Around” from the self-titled debut album. We talk about childhood candies. John reveals what the Dum-Dum “mystery flavor” is. We go off on a big time pizza tangent. Lauren’s Stevie Nicks side and “Weird Al” side are in a battle against one another. We talk some Muppets. We sing. It’s g...

You know who's on this show almost as often as John? It's the preeminent "Weird Al" scholar Nathan Rabin, of course! (I'm kind of kidding... John is here a BIT more than Nathan Rabin. But I'm not the one that does the math.) Nathan is here to discuss what we feel are the most underrated tracks on the Polka Party! album. Heck, the whole thing is underrated... but we had to narrow it down somehow! L...

Can you even believe it? Beer'd Al has been around for three whole entire years! And boy have we learned some things. Chief among them... Our initial rankings were trash. Our opinions were objectively wrong. Crinimally wrong in some cases. So we corrected that. John went aheaed and upddated the Weird Algorithm and we started from scratch. In this episode, we're running down what changed! We talk a...

Please don't adjust your televisions! You are, in fact, listening to the Beer'd Al Podcast. It's just that this week is a little different. You see, the Infectious Groove Podcast is very literally part of the family, and that show is sunsetting soon. What better way to send Russ and the crew off to greener (???) pastures than by letting Russ take over THIS VERY SHOW? That's right. So this is the I...

If that isn't love, I don't know what love is! We're celebrating our parents' wedding anniversary today (yes, TODAY!) with this episode. We're discussing "If That Isn't Love" from Alpocalypse . Because if what our parents have isn't love, then we sure as heck don't know what love is. Listen in as we have some fun talking about the song, relationship stuff, a Cece pop-in, and more! (Poop and farts....

Happy Cinco de Mayo, friends! We’re doing the only logical thing a podcast about “Weird Al” can do on this day… We’re talking about “Taco Grande,” of course! In this fun episode, we get into quite a bit of detail about Mexican food. We also talk about a chicken cover band (you DEFINITELY don’t want to miss this!). Do we have what it takes to play God? The tales of Large Richard. Mario voices. #Jus...
