Send us a textThere's no denying it — "Weird Al" Yankovic is more culturally relevant now than ever. He's not JUST a peerless parodist and national treasure, either. He's also a straight-up documentarian of several distinct eras of popular culture. And nowhere is this more apparent than in his polka medleys; accordion-heavy pastiches that draw from some of the most popular songs of their respective eras to create magical mosaics that are always greater than the sum of their parts. So in the wake of Al's sold-out Madison Square Garden engagement (and since it's been a full 100 episodes since he's been a subject), Saint and Jim are wrapping up the Trilogy of Triumph by breaking down these polka-piles into discrete components, and holding them up to the mirror of history to see how they stand up. Spoiler Alert: STILL AWESOME.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Video Jukebox Song of The Day! Every weekday will be featuring a live watch of a great and memorable music video. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is watching “Amish Paradise” by “Weird” Al Yankovic from 1996.   The YouTube link for the video is below so you can watch along! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZLb33uCg

So, here's the deal: the Baconsale boys are going on a road trip to see “Weird Al” Yankovic in Idaho, and their music playlist ran a little short. Therefore, they're going to pass the final hour of their journey by playing a series of games based on information found on IMDb (the Internet Movie Database), and you can play along with us! Joel, Kent, and Zack will be guessing film titles during such games as Actor Stacker, Tagline You're It, Movie Password, Status Quote, Body of Work, and 20 Questions. And with actual concert merch on the line for the winner, the stakes have never been higher. Witness our cinematic strengths and our film failings as we reassuringly offer some pity points, randomly pick the same flicks, and repeatedly predict Armageddon.   Press play, because this episode is for sure animated.

June 28, 2025 - Gabe and Rob discuss Dungeons & Dragons, sibling drama, economic challenges, Dungeons & Dragons, Christy Canyon, braces, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and video games.

J. Jackson, lead singer and lyricist of ApologetiX ("that Christian parody band") spends the hour with Tim today to highlight songs from the band's most recent three CDs: X-Tract, ApologetiX '77, and Simply Ironic. You can enter to win a 3-pack of those CDs throughout July on WFIL's home page :). J. lives in Pittsburgh and is an avid reader and sports fan, so the conversation leads off with (and weaves in and out of) the Pirates and other teams & players. With 78 CDs and nearly 1000 songs in their library, ApologetiX is often likened to a mix of "Weird Al" Yankovic and Billy Graham, with a two-fold mission: to reach the lost and teach the rest. Scripture passages for each parody are in the CD liner notes. Find out more at www.apologetix.com.

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. 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.

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.)

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.

Andy realizes the lyrics to The Cars' "Just What I Needed" are weird and talks about Andrea Bocelli's collab with tennis star Jannik Sinner, Jason Gore seemingly ghosting him, recent Jackal Family podcast eps, and Anthony Fantano on The Adam Friedland Show. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines ties up loose ends from the recent Weird Al and Journey segments. Follow Rachel on Last.fm here.

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

SUMMARY: We start the show with TSA lines, pre-checks, and driving three hours for a Global Entry interview. Everything in New York City is chaotic and expensive, at least for Matt. Paul advocates leaving elders on ice floes and coins a slappin' tune! Plus a cultured Jacob sees Weird Al and Puddles. Also, Scoop Mail and a Scoopardy.
