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! Listen in as we get pretty deep into the genius of "Weird Al" and how some of his work is even better than you might think.Nathan Rabin does a lot of cool stuff! You can find most of it on his website. He's written books about "Weird Al"! He's written books about some of the crappiest pop culture imaginable! He's got a freakin' podcast about Nic Cage and John Travolta. He's doing the good work for you people, goshdarnit. Want to do some good work for us?

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 Infectious Groove Podcast... Beer'd Al-style. We're doing a classic IGP album review episode today! We're talking about the Medium Rarities compilation album that was included in the Squeeze Box box set in 2017. Listen in as we go through some classic IGP segments like feedback and "the most popular segment in all of podcasting" Jammy Jams! (These Jammy Jams have a bit of a twist!) And then we get into talking about this very cool, very (well medium) rare compilation.Check out the Infectious Groove Music YouTube channel! (Lauren is there like 50% of the time! You like me!)Beer'd Al is an Infectious Groovy member of the OddPods Media Network.Our promos this week are for Dockingbay77 and Super Media Bros.!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5439475/advertisement

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!

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. #JusticeForWaluigi I may be a little biased here, but nearly three years into this thing… I think we’re really hitting our stride. And we’re going to prove that later this year when we do commentary on… OUR UNRELEASED LOST EPISODE. So stay tuned for THAT. Lauren has Bromosa Tangerine IPA from Big Storm Brewing Co. John has El Trono from Dewey Beer Company AND Desert Rider Agave Lime IPA from Rusty Rail Brewing Company. Cheers! Beer’d Al is a GRANDE member of the OddPods Media Network.

We’re talkin’ that Gilligan’s Isle Thing today! “Isle Thing” is from 1989’s UHF soundtrack, and it’s quite low on our list. But maybe it’s more clever than we think? We talk through it and come to some interesting conclusions. We’ve got tangents about dogs barking at random things (Billie Eilish among them), there’s another parody of “Wild Thing” out there, goats and fireworks, Jesus Christ Superstar ruined Lauren’s pantyhose, some UHF soundtrack chat, makin’ bacon, it’s technically ballet, we reminisce in advance of our three year anniversary, and so much more! Lauren has Floridian from Funky Buddha Brewery and Perpetual IPA from Troegs Independent Brewing. John has SeaQuench Ale from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Heavy C’s from Crooked Hammock Brewery.

Mike comes in with what he thinks is the most underrated track, and then I go ahead and do the same. Did we pick the same song? Why do we think the song is underrated, anyway?
