Laugh Break Presents A Retrospective of Weird Al Yankovic
Wednesday 8 pm ET & 11 pm ET
Weird Al sits down with the Alternative Comedy Show's own Mark Says Hi! as they trace Weird Als long and illustrious career. We trace Weird Als life from the first time a door-to-door accordion salesmen shows up at his house, to his pop culture breakthrough Michael Jackson spoofs, through his current hit album, Straight Outta Lynwood, feature the Chamllionaire parody, "White & Nerdy."

The Weird Al Yankovic Musical Comedy Special
Thursday at 3 pm - 5 pm ET & 6 pm - 8 pm ET
Weird Al hosts this two-hour show playing his favorite musical parodies. It's good clean fun!

I'm testing the player & it keeps buffering on me (darn dial-up). Will anyone be recording these shows?

is this a true free trial, or do I have to give CC info and all that?

I don't know how easy it will be to set up a scheduled recording, as I don't know how they stream. I'll check it out though.

EDIT: figured out the stream. it's really simple to sign up too. took all of 60 seconds.

I'll try to record it.
EDIT2: dang, they got some funky dynamic url's for the stream. If I'm home I can record it, but I won't be at 8PM ET. is the one at 11 just a replay? if so, I can record it then.

I believe that, on both days, the second airing is a repeat, judging from their wording.

I have sirius in my stereo! I'll try and tape it!

I think a repeat of earlier is supposed to start.... NOW.
EDIT: just started.

So, I tried tuning in to today's 2 hour Al special, but I'm getting no sound and message saying only certain programming is available for online streaming.

Free!? HA

I like XM.

I signed up yesterday, and I'm listening to Al right now

unfortunately I missed the first 1.5 hours, so I'll try to get the recording on the repeat.

I'm glad you're able to get it. I signed up yesterday too, and the Al Retrospective show then worked just fine. I have no idea what the deal is now.

I'm taping it! I should get most. I'm going to do my best and record it to my computer. i missed a bit of DDTS and I will have to flip it.

Edit. It's a ninety minute tape. I might have ninety minutes and then thirty minutes on a worse tape.
