Let's get weird—Polka Party! weird. This week on the Beer'd Al Podcast, Lauren is joined by comedy musician, parody wizard, and all-around awesome human Insane Ian to dive into Side 1 of Weird Al Yankovic's Polka Party! album.We're talking about everything from hernias to spuds, and we're loving every minute of it. Tracks on the menu include:The James Brown sendup “Living with a Hernia”The Talking Heads-flavored “Dog Eat Dog”The deep-fried brilliance of “Addicted to Spuds”The delightfully unhinged original “One of Those Days”And of course, the frantic accordion madness of the title track, “Polka Party!”Ian brings his deep-cut knowledge of comedy music, Lauren brings the beverages, and together they serve up a celebration of this oft-overlooked (but totally lovable) Al-bum. Crack open a cold one and join the polka party!Check out Ian's work:YouTubeBandcampBeer'd Al is a polka-tastic member of the OddPods Media Network.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

SUMMARY: For our last show in The Churn, we've brought back TV's Brad Sherwood. Paul's squirrel declined to return. We talk about Canadians who rate a postage stamp, mopping up stadium jail urine, getting a backstage pass to Weird Al, and Selena Gomez Oreos. Plus, Brad pitches Twenty Questions, and a Scoopardy.

This week in the Labyrinth, Tim bids farewell to a true Gen X radio hero — the legendary Doctor Demento. We take a fun, nostalgic dive into the history of the Dr. Demento Show, its influence on weird comedy, novelty songs, and how it helped shape our taste in the hilariously absurd. From “Disco Duck” to Weird Al, we dig into our favorite novelty records and talk about why that kind of musical madness has all but vanished today. Plus, Jeff and Tim recount a recent run-in with a table full of loudmouths at a comedy show and lay down the law on comedy club etiquette. When is it okay to talk at a show? (Spoiler: Never.)

Dave and Ethan welcome special guest Jackie Rossi for a fun-filled breakdown of the second night of Weird Al's Las Vegas residency! Tune in as they dive into the June 14, 2025 show at The Venetian Theatre from Weird Al's 2025 Bigger & Weirder tour.

This week, we saddle up for another bumpy ride through the dystopian tech clown show. We kick off with the surveillance state's greatest hits: ICE raids sweeping L.A., a website literally called FuckLAPD.com that lets you ID cops by their mug shots, and a Norwegian tourist who learned the hard way that having a JD Vance chipmunk meme on your phone is now grounds for deportation. Pro tip: if you're traveling to the U.S., you might want to wrap your phone in lead and bury it in a cornfield.In the news, Big Balls has apparently rolled his way from Elon's Department of Government Efficiency to the Social Security Administration—because nothing says “government modernization” like a 19-year-old tech bro with a meme nickname. Meanwhile, Tesla robotaxis are hitting the roads (and maybe a few pedestrians) with human babysitters in tow, Waymo and Uber are turning Atlanta into Blade Runner Lite, and Texas wants a permit for your self-driving car. Over in AI hell, judges can't agree if training your chatbot on stolen books is fair use or just digital asbestos. YouTube, never one to miss a race to the bottom, is rolling out an AI Slop button so you can crank up the crap to 11.In Media Candy, Russell Crowe is beefing up his IMDb with Highlander, Henry Cavill is along for the ride, and Anthony Bourdain Day is apparently a thing (even though he'd have rolled his eyes at it). We also dig into everything from Minecraft movies to the sad demise of Blue Microphones at the hands of Logitech. Plus, Dave Bittner drops by to commiserate about malware, retro gaming handhelds, and why some Star Wars maps are basically porn for nerds. And yes—Windows is finally killing the Blue Screen of Death, proving even Microsoft can eventually learn to read the room.DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Glen subbed a week for Tommy Lee in Mötley Crüe on a few hours notice pulling double duty on the Crue/Alice tour. 
Recent live events have found Glen playing in the house band backing such heavyweights as Steven Tyler, Rob Halford, Weird Al, Pat Simmons & Michael McDonald of The Doobie Brothers, Sammy Hagar, Richie Sambora, Joe Lynn Turner, Night Ranger, Jonny Lang, Nils Lofgren, Sarah Mclachlan, Nuno Bettencourt, Dexter and Noodles of The Offspring, Robby Krieger of The Doors, Ke$ha, Orianthi, Johnny Depp, Mike Myers and many more.

The past couple of years have seen nominations in hard rock / metal categories in readers polls for Modern Drummer, DRUM! Magazine and Rhythm UK Magazine. He spends much of his time in Los Angeles doing sessions for some of the music industry's top producers. His performances are dynamic and visual and his track record as a session player is impressive In this episode, Glen talks about: Touring Drumming for Alice Cooper Staying healthy Creating trust on and off stage Modernizing older songs What he learned from early recordings with Tony McAlpine The origin story of the band, The Hollywood Vampires Subbing for Tommy Lee on Mötley Crüe's farewell tour ⁠Here's our Patreon⁠ ⁠Here's our Youtube⁠ ⁠Here's our Homepage

And now, a diversion from the news.When Weird Al's debut single, "My Bologna," came out, there wasn't really a model for how a parody artist could have any longevity in their career. Yet Al's figured out how to stay popular for over four decades. Ahead of his summer "Bigger and Weirder" tour, he talks with Wild Card with Rachel Martin about staying weird as he ages, parenthood, and his devoted (some might say obsessive) fans.We'll be back in your feeds tomorrow with the weekly roundup.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Father-son comedy rap duo, Knucklehedz, takes parenting and childhood teasing to a new level with their diss track, na-na-na-na-boo-boo. Stephen Davies (father) is a well known comedy rap artist making people laugh for decades with his band, Illbotz. Knuckleheadz's inception came about when Jackson Davies (son) went to an Illbotz practice and decided he wanted to join the band. Because Jackson was a mere 3 year old lad, Dad decided to start a rap duo for the two of them. In 2023 they had the number one song on Dr. Demento's show. (Which is a super big deal seeing as how Dr. Demento discovered Weird Al.)Follow their journey:knuckleheadz.bandcamp.comillbotz.bandcamp.comwww.facebook.com/knuckleheadzkidhopwww.twitter.com/knuckleheadzrapwww.youtube.com/stevied123Knuckleheadz on SpotifyIllbotz on SpotifyAppalachian Vibes Radio Show from WNCW is listener nominated, you can nominate an artist by emailing Amanda at appalachianvibes@gmail.com.

The year was 1984. Prince came out with “Purple Rain.” Bruce Springsteen was touring for “Born in the USA.” And on the south side of Milwaukee, America’s polka king, Frankie Yankovic, performed at the Our Lady Queen of Peace parish festival. In attendance that day was six-year-old Mike Schneider. The Yankovic concert changed his life because it inspired Schneider to pick up the accordion. WPR’s Nick Rommel recently talked with the Wisconsin Polka Hall of Famer at a gig in Eagle.

At 82, funk pioneer Sly Stone has passed away. Sydney Sweeney has secretly gained 30 pounds for an upcoming role. Weird Al had one #1 hit - can you guess which? Pepsi isn't vegan, elephants get old, and remember when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock?

Jimmy addresses the latest news, like Trump stumbling while walking up the stairs of Air Force One, before speaking with Robert De Niro and "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Jon is on his path of redemption with Kevin because of the last episode he was on. However, the two giggle throughout this episode and movie because it's just so damn funny. They discuss "Weird Al's" discography, the cast of this movie, and how stupid this movie is.Kevin's Link: https://linktr.ee/kevinwatchesmoviesPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Bells Are Ringing!

It's one of those days… but in the best way possible! Lauren is joined by the delightfully nerdy and wonderfully weird Jeff Nucera (aka UHJeff) to talk all about the song “One of Those Days” from Polka Party! You might know Jeff as one of the filmmakers behind Tight & Nerdy—the fabulous documentary about the world's first Weird Al-themed burlesque troupe. (Yes, that's a real thing, and yes, it's amazing.)We dive into this underrated Al deep cut and revel in its over-the-top absurdity, dark humor, and surprising relatability.Oh—and we discover a truly wild coincidence about each other that will have you saying, “What are the odds?!”So crack open a cold one, embrace the chaos, and settle in for a joyfully weird ride. Because even on one of those days, Beer'd Al makes everything better.

On today's episode, we're diving into a cult classic that redefined what it means to be weird, hilarious, and just downright absurd.  A movie showing the world that Weird Al Yankovic should be protected at all costs.  This movie showed us the greatest hotdog/twinkie combination of all time and taught us that broads don't belong in braodcasting, that gun control is for wimps and commies, and that life is like a mop.    We are of course talking about 1989's UHF •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:28:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  ————————————————— **Support us at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast for bonus weekly episodes, voting on upcoming movies, giving your modern-day ratings on our movies and much more. **Mail us something   The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.
