This Might Be A Podcast - Episode 125 - We’re The Replacements with DC Pierson! Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

Actor, comedian and author DC Pierson is on the show this week to talk about a song he'd never heard before picking it, We're The Replacements. A fan of TMBG but a bigger fan of The Replacements, it made total sense. You've have seen him in Derrick Comedy with Donald Glover, as well as Community, Captain America Winter Soldier and much more. We will give you a good primer on The Replacements the band, and whether this song is actually about them, finding interviews with the Johns 30 years apart that give conflicting messages. We also discuss just how hard this song slaps.
