30 GEN 2026 · On the surface, “Fat” is just Weird Al in a very large suit yelling about food. But beneath the accordion stabs and questionable eating habits lies one of the most important turning points in his career.
In this episode of the Beer’d Al Podcast, we stuff ourselves into a deep dive on “Fat”—Michael Jackson’s Bad era, the shot-for-shot video parody, and why Al went back to the MJ well after Polka Party! didn’t exactly set the world on fire. We talk about MJ’s blessing, the iconic fat suit, and how turning “bad” into “fat” was less of a joke and more of a brilliant career reboot.
Is “Fat” just a silly parody? Or is it Weird Al doubling down on confidence, commitment, and being gloriously, unapologetically himself?
Grab a beer, loosen your belt, and join us as we break down the song that proved Weird Al wasn’t done yet—he was just getting started. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

21 NOV 2025 · 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.

12 SET 2025 · 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 compliments
- Which line in the song stings the most—and which one ends up being secretly the sweetest
- A few laughs, some uncomfortable truths, and all the Weird Al admiration you’d expect

29 AGO 2025 · Lauren and Russ are back with a very special guest—our good friend Robert Yaniz Jr.! This week, we’re biting into Weird Al’s “Toothless People,” digging into Mick Jagger’s “Ruthless People,” AND chewing over the 1986 comedy Ruthless People.
That’s right: one conversation, three ruthless (and toothless) angles. We cover the music, the movie, and of course, the ridiculous connections only Beer’d Al can make.
If you’ve ever wondered how a Weird Al deep cut, a Mick Jagger soundtrack entry, and a Danny DeVito/Bette Midler classic all intersect—this is the episode for you.
Now, all rise for the honorable Judge Reinhold.
