Weird Al Yankovic - Running with Scissors (w/ Lauren from the Beer'd Al Podcast!)

Weird Al is on his UNFORTUNATE Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour and we thought it would be a good time to talk about the prince of spoof himself, Weird Al Yankovic, and one of his finest works, 1999's "Running with Scissors". From the infamously prophetic song/music video for "The Saga Begins," accurately describing the plot of Star Wars: Episode I (from just the trailer and some internet leaks) to the epic conclusion and fan favorite, "Albuquerque" where Al and his band fully shine, this album is full of the weirdest aliest songs you could hear. 

AND we brought in an EXPERT on all things Weird Al, Lauren from the Beer'd Al Podcast, in which they drink beer... and discuss Weird Al!!!
