Hey, everybody.

Hey, everybody, it's your charitable wizard, Holden McNeely.

And it is I, your miserly bruiser, Jake Young. Don't touch my gold.

Why do you have slime on you today, Jake?

It keeps me slick so you get your filthy hands off of me. My gold!

I'm going to put my filthy heads anywhere near you. And today, we're doing an episode that's been requested by fans by fans I think for some time. They could not be more perfect for this here, motherfucking show. Of course, I'm talking about the man the myth, the legend. Weird Al Yankovic. My burrito. Hey there. Give me that my burrito. I'm going to eat it maybe with a bunch of Cheetos.

I've heard so many. That's not a, is that a? No, but like, I'm like this generation's weird out I'd like to think.

No, no, no, no, no. What you meant to say was taco. Garand. One of my favorites, dude. I've been relishing in weird al for the past few days just soaking it all

in just having all these memories flashback because i was definitely a big weird al fan as a kid

and then weird owl went kind of away for a while i think weird out kind of like um uh was like

maybe not so cool or whatever in college. And then like he

magically got super cool again like five years ago. It's not magic. We're going to go into this

in this episode. But Weird Al is such like a perfect virus. Yes. Like his success is inevitable. He,

like he's literally a natural byproduct of the environment

around him. It's, it's pretty incredible how much he was able to reinvent himself, use,

uh, the, the burgeoning art form of videos, uh, to, to, to become a huge household name and then

re, re, reuse the burgeoning uh uh influence of of online videos to to a complete

re-re re-re recreate himself uh like five times over would you say that this is a podcast about nerd

culture i would say this is a podcast about bird culture but then i showed up with all that yeah right

i showed up with all those robin facts and you were like, what are we doing here, buddy?

And I was just like, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

I know. I know. I know a lot about Teenage Reader Ninja Turtles.
