    About this Episode

    John is back! It’s year four of the show! We’ve got a good one for you. We’re talking about “Stop Draggin’ My Car Around” from the self-titled debut album. We talk about childhood candies. John reveals what the Dum-Dum “mystery flavor” is. We go off on a big time pizza tangent. Lauren’s Stevie Nicks side and “Weird Al” side are in a battle against one another. We talk some Muppets. We sing. It’s glorious.

    Lauren has Dragon Blaze Boba from WeldWerks Brewing Co. John has Trailgazer from Ten Bends Beer. Cheers!

    Beer’d Al is, like, wow, totally a member of the OddPods Media Network.

    Our promo this week is for the Infectious Groove Podcast (yeah, that’s still a thing).
