Weird Al – The King Of The Nerds (And The Accordion)
Katie was doomed by her parents to nerdiness from an early age, when they subjected her to a steady diet of Weird Al Yankovic.
But there’s much to be enthusiastic about in his decades-long musical career, including:
- How being parodied by Weird Al is bigger than winning an Emmy
- How he took first dates to see his own movie
- His complete and utter niceness
Also, THIS IS EPISODE NUMBER 50!!! That’s CRAZYCAKES!!!
