"Weird Al" Yankovic Jun 27, 2021

Show notes

Episode 66 is getting a special Sunday morning release this week!!! Why? Well, it all has to do with the topic of the episode: “Weird Al” Yankovic. While researching this week, Aaron discovered that the number 27 has a strange and, possibly, not-so-coincidental association with “Weird Al” over the years. It’s a subject Aaron and Brent will discuss in detail during the episode. So, with Sunday being June 27th, Aaron and Brent thought it was only fitting to release their next episode a day earlier than normal.
