"Dare to Re-Sequence: Making Dare to Be Stupid Make Sense" 

This week, Lauren and Russ take their marriage to the next level and take on a noble Weird Al challenge: rearranging the tracklist of Dare to Be Stupid into an order that (dare we say it?) makes more sense. We each came up with our own new sequence for the album, and we’re diving deep into the why behind our choices. Does “Like a Surgeon” really need to be Track 1? Should “One More Minute” hit earlier or later? We’ve got opinions—and so will you.

We also have links to both of our resequenced versions so you can listen along and decide which one reigns supreme. So put on your accordion hat and let’s get stupid… in a very deliberate way.

The deep dive concludes! Lauren and Insane Ian are diving into Side 2 of Dare to be Stupid. From polkas to parodies and everything in between (mostly in between), they unpack the genius of Al’s songwriting, discuss the sheer weirdness and brilliance of these tracks, and probably go off on a few hilarious tangents along the way. Will they dare to be even stupider this time? Tune in and find out!

Polka time, baby! Lauren is joined by Russ and the newly-appointed "Polka Bob" to dive into the accordion-fueled madness of "Hooked on Polkas," the high-energy album closer from Dare to Be Stupid. We break down Weird Al’s brilliant medley choices, discuss what makes polka so undeniably fun, and celebrate the joy of accordion-fueled chaos. Is this the ultimate party anthem? Does "Hooked on Polkas" still hold up today? And just how does one become a certified "Polka Bob"? Tune in for laughs, deep dives, and—of course—some serious polka appreciation!

Lauren and Russ are back with a quick and fun discussion about "Cable TV" from Dare to Be Stupid! It’s an okay song, and this is an okay-length episode—so why not give it a listen? 😆

Plus, stick around for the midroll featuring some beautiful piano renditions of Weird Al tracks by our talented friend, Summer Woods! 🎹

Crack open a cold one and join us for some classic Weird Al goodness. Cheers! 🍻

Pop the champagne and polish your monocles, because we’re living the high life on this episode of Beer’d Al! Lauren and Russ are joined by fellow Weird Al aficionado UH-Jeff, who’s here to talk all about “This is the Life” from the Dare to Be Stupid album. But that’s not all—Jeff is also promoting his documentary, Tight & Nerdy, a deep dive into the world of Weird Al-inspired burlesque. Yes, you read that right!

We have a blast dissecting the song, its classic gangster movie vibes, and what it really means to “have money, money, money and stacks on stacks.” Plus, we may or may not do a little time traveling along the way! 

So whether you're spending this Valentine's Day with someone special or just treating yourself to a little Weird Al goodness, grab a fancy drink, sit back, and enjoy this wild ride through Al-verse opulence.
