Podcast appearances and mentions of weird al yankovic

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.

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.

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.

(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.

Episode 4 of our Grape Expectations Series features Moby Grape & Skip Spence biographer Cam Cobb talking about Skip's rollercoaster ride through those early days of Moby Grape, a tale which includes disastrous tours, lawsuits, police busts, horribly nefarious managers, a fake touring version of the band, mysterious black magic witches, drug-induced madness, insane asylums, and attempted murder with an axe.  And, no joke—that's just within the band's first two years.  Here's just a few of the many things that Cam discusses with Discograffiti in Part 2 of our discussion:A step-by-step reconstruction of the hunt for talent that wound up pulling together the original band;The manifold ways in which Matthew Katz failed them as a manager;How The Summer of Love ironically wound up beating this great band down;A discussion about why Skip's songs of biblical reckoning took a sharp left into novelty-adjacent Weird Al territory!*** This episode includes a cameo appearance by the great JERRY MILLER, who talks with Cam about the band's early days as they began to gel as a unit!There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

This week on Left Hand Right Brain, JD reunites with his old podcast crew—Patrick Scott and Andreas Becerril—for a special episode featuring Paul Karolyi (City Cast Denver), who's hoping to earn his spot as an honorary “Chupacabro.”They reminisce about their chaotic podcast past (Los Chupacabros), debate Star Wars lore, explore fast food loyalties, and dive headfirst into very NSFW hypotheticals. From talking over each other to laughing until they cry, it's a ridiculous and rowdy hang with real podcast chemistry.

John Mulaney's bold case for inducting Weird Al Yankovic into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mulaney credits Weird Al's parody “Smells Like Nirvana” for introducing him to Nirvana's iconic “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” sparking a debate about the parody legend's influence on music and culture. Jeff and Jeremy break down Weird Al's chart-topping success, sold-out tours, and undeniable impact, comparing him to this year's Hall of Fame inductees like The White Stripes, Soundgarden, Outkast, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Chubby Checker, and Bad Company. Is Weird Al more deserving than some of these icons? Jeff and Jeremy weigh the pros and cons, reminiscing about Al's hilarious costume changes, radio fake-outs with hits like “Eat It,” and his unique ability to transform serious songs into comedic gold. Tune in for a fun, nostalgic discussion on whether the king of parody belongs in the Hall—and why Mulaney's Rolling Stone shoutout might just make it happen!

Weird Al Yankovic joins Samantha Bee to discuss their unique meet-cute, and how their interview came to be due to a scam gone right. Al tells Sam about how he’s actually happy with all the choices he’s made in life except (other than wishing he had bought Apple stock) and yet he agonizes over little decisions—especially when editing music videos. Al explains knowing that his first decision is usually the best one, and why he chooses to live on a tour bus for 3.5 months instead of sleeping in hotels. He reveals that the ultimate dig at him is when people say he’s talented enough to do “real music”, why record companies beg for Christmas albums, and turning down an opportunity to open for Duran Duran at Madison Square Garden.
