    Beer'd Al Anthology: Revisiting WEIRD with Eric Appel

    We're rewinding back to one of my favorite conversations from December 2023 — and it’s absolutely worth a replay. This episode features my chat with Eric Appel: director, co-writer, and the wonderfully chaotic genius behind WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story. Eric is every bit as sharp, kind, and hilarious as you'd hope, and we get into all things WEIRD — plus a few stories about the very real, very nice guys who helped bring the film to life. I won’t spoil anything else… just hit play and enjoy the ride. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

    Beer'd Al Anthology: Before Lauren had Squeeze Box (or a Husband)

Before they were husband and wife, Lauren and Russ teamed up for a deep-dive into "Weird Al" Yankovic’s legendary Squeeze Box vinyl collection. They unpack every detail—the design, the tracklist, the collector appeal—and share plenty of laughs (and beers) along the way. It’s a nostalgic, high-energy conversation between two people who clearly get each other—and Weird Al. Crack open a cold one and enjoy this throwback that started something special.

    Polka Party: A Polka Party Party - Good Enough for Now

    Lauren & Russ are joined by special guest Noah (you know, “Noah Guy”) to unpack Weird Al’s hilarious-style parody “Good Enough for Now.” We dig into what makes this song both romantic and brutally honest, how it flips the country love-ballad trope on its head, and which lines hit you in the feels (or in your ego). Plus: reflections on relationships, comedy songwriting, and whether settling ever really “works.” Don’t miss:Noah’s take on the difference between sugar-coated love and “above-average” backhanded complimentsWhich line in the song stings the most—and which one ends up being secretly the sweetestA few laughs, some uncomfortable truths, and all the Weird Al admiration you’d expectConnect with Noah & His Work:YouTube: The Jury HouseSpotify: The Jury HouseX / Twitter: @noahmussay Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.
