Al has been an inspiration to many in the music and comedy worlds, but I think he's been the most inspiring to today's guests - PANGOLIN members Kenneth Leeming Jr. and Gary Pounds! Join us as we discuss the career of one of the greatest to ever do it, how Al's music career is really a front to get his architecture business rolling, and how Pangolin currently has music in the Weird Al Archives (true story). Welcome to our season opener, and prepare yourself for a slew of more as we marathon episodes and host strictly bands that are playing this year's THE FEST FL this October!

    "What else do you want your audience to know?" is always on here before we type a band description. About MGK? There's a good bit you should know, especially if you consider yourself a fan. I would honestly suggest some therapy after this episode. There's something wrong with that boy. Join us for this week's EXCRUCIATING episode as we cover the wanna be rapper/pop-punker MACHINE GUN KELLY. If you couldn't tell, we came into this one with a bias, so don't expect nice things to be said. Second to last episode of the season, folks!
