As you should probably suspect, this is not for the kids to listen to.  This week, we discuss the relatively unknown, raunchy song from Al's early years. Joe Early, one of Al's longtime friends from college, weighs in on some insight he has in the creative process of this song and how it was like performed.

Check out our full interview with Joe Earley here:
